Physicists and noted researchers are observing subtle but significant changes in the way that electricity flows through conductive materials. Electrons used to be so-called "longer" a few decades ago (end to end, mind you), so you'd actually get a fewer number of them traveling through the wire to you per second.
Ah! but DO the electrons flow through the wire or just shuffle back and forth as the holes flow through the wire? I've seen these very same people get into fist fights over that question too.
In that case they have nothing to fear. I can attest to the fact that the NOOK Color is in fact an Android tablet with e-reader software. Just remove the e-reader (the user can install it themselves).
the quality of their products is not relevant to their patents.
Actually it's the quality of their patents most people have issues with.
I believe we need a system where the towers (AKA spectrum) are owned & operated by a regulated entity and that a standard (GSM/LTE) is agreed upon. Then the carriers can sell service and value-add to differentiate themselves.
I have U-Verse and a DirecTV tech is coming to "Upgrade" my TV service today. I just have U200 and Elite (6mgbit) with a DVR and 3 boxes ($7 each) and I am paying over $140. DirecTV is offering more channels, free HD and I get to keep my Elite pricing since they are partners with AT&T making my monthly cost just over $100.
If you are referring to E85 then you are quite correct. Of course given this is what Ethanol based gasoline is called my guess for the official name for the new fuel would be I85.
I quit playing console games last year and switched to PC games. I credit the release of StarCraft II. I had to get a video card for my PC for the first time in years. I have all three current gen consoles and they are now mostly for streaming video.
You obviously do not know what the word appreciate means so I'll stop trying to explain it.
I would ask a question though. Which Ivy League school did daddy send you to anyway? I can't imagine anyone getting so worked up over my comment unless it hit REALLY close to the mark.
I will leave you with this. When I got my drivers license I was given an old Ford Granada but had to pay for gas/ins./maintenance myself. It wasn't what I wanted but I was glad to have a car. Later when I actually bought my first car (it was in bad shape but I paid for it myself) I had a grin from ear to ear because it was MINE. I had to learn how to work on cars because I couldn't afford to pay someone to do it and now have a valuable skill which benefits me to this day.
One of my classmates got a brand new car given to them and a credit card to pay for everything (Parents paid the card). My classmate just bitched that they didn't get the color they wanted.
That depends entirely on the person as I have said in each of my posts. but given a good sample of the two subjects in this case the one who got everything paid for will lean towards entitlement rather than gratitude and the one strapped with debt would likely resent the debt but still feel a sense of pride at having achieved graduation. When it comes to people there are no absolutes.
WOW...just WOW. I must have hit a nerve or something. You asked for facts on something that is by its very nature subjective. My previous statement was a fact. I appreciate my degree more than others I know who got their degree free based on my observations of their treatment of the degree. They act like it isn't any big deal. Does that mean they didn't appreciate theirs? No and I never said it did. Does that mean everyone who works for a degree appreciates more than them? No. But when you are dealing with averages and not individual cases my statement stands.
BTW - When I say free I mean they didn't have to work for the money to go to school or pay rent or feed themselves. Somebody who gets a scholarship or such and still has to work to survive and juggle class load with work load definitely appreciates it otherwise they wouldn't even bother.
are you the slashdot poster known as "Archangel Michael?" The sig is the same, but "ArhcAngel"
Don't know who "Archangel Michael" is or why he uses the same sig.
those who receive a "free" education seldom appreciate it as much as the one who had to earn (and pay for) that education.
I didn't say they weren't appreciative. Especially for those who could not have paid in the first place. I said those who have to work for it know how hard it was and appreciate it more.
Please save your backhanded insults for more deserving targets.
Our hiring practices generally exclude anyone not coming from a "real" accredited college. I'd rather hire somebody from a community college than anyone that went and sold their soul to ITT Tech or Devry--it shows a profound lack of common sense and planning ability.
It's right up there with hiring somebody that lists "Geek Squad" on their resume. Pass...
As a graduate of ITT Tech I understand the sentiment but submit you might be missing some diamonds in the rough with that attitude. I have worked with individuals with CS degrees from "real" accredited colleges I wouldn't let program my DVR let alone my mission critical application. I also had a classmate who had been attending different vocational schools for many, many years because he got government assistance as long as he was a student. The point is it is not the school but the individual who really matters in the equation. My AAS degree got my foot in the door on the ground floor making very little. It also gave me the opportunity to discover I was more happy working on the service side than I was the programming side ( I liked the Mountain Dew and cheesy poofs but not the hours and lack of human interaction). Now my degree is little more than a foot note in my resume and my service skills are sought out because I understand the hardware the software and the people using them.
BTW It was actually common sense that led me to choose ITT. I knew I wanted to go tech and ITT had a program that would put me there in two years instead of four or more. That made perfect sense to me. Of course I didn't know what I was in for and I might have done it differently if I had but that's the way hindsight works doesn't it?
Education is never free and those who receive a "free" education seldom appreciate it as much as the one who had to earn (and pay for) that education. That said educational institutions are far too costly in the US IMO.

read TFA to see that's about e-readers

What I want to know is where did a Hobbit get a gun in Middle Earth?

I'm pretty sure he is attempting to get his made up word feeb accepted into popular culture. Then profit somehow.
I am camping out to be first in line to see Paul. Now THAT is good syfy
Is anyone really stupid enough to believe that the rule making process would be non political and unbiased?
In a word...Yes
In fact I suspect there are quite a few.

Aaron Barr had an ulterior motive for confronting Anonymous and we all know how that turned out.
Quite right! Marry them and program them to do whatever you want
If life imitates art then we already know the answer.

I don't have anyone to share with you insensitive clod! *sob*

That's what I hear. I was by no means advocating its use. Simply pointing out there is a Linux port available if you are brave enough.
Even if there was a Linux port I still would try to avoid it where I could.
Then you will NOT want to click on this link .

Key word is appreciates and yes I would.

Archangel was taken and ArhcAngel wasn't
I had to work for my degree. I appreciate it more than the people I have met who didn't have to work for it.

But wouldn't you like to be able to hear your victim scream as you stick pins in this?
