It doesn't sound too horrible, until you think that eventually they'll get the idea to force the display of the ad for a minimum amount of time.
While I might not mind it flashing in between page flips or even taking up a constant amount of real-estate like a banner ad, being forced to twiddle my thumbs for 2 or 5 seconds every so often would tick me off.
I've got some books from the 1940's that have full color glossy ads (cigarettes, usually) in the middle and some that have b&w ads whenever a plot twist happens.
When has Apple not had problems with their shiny handheld electronics being overly scratchable. They pick materials based on style instead of function and suitability.
They've thought of that. An entire herd of interns will be retyping each ebook on a fleet of Underwood typewriters, then hand-binding them into leather covers.
A fair chunk of the time, after they saved the house, the person would refuse to pay. So the county would sue them, find out they couldn't pay, and then either took possesion of a fire-damaged house they didn't want or sued the insurance company(if there was one) to get a cut of the insurance money. Whereupon the insurance company would usually pull out a clause saying they only insured houses covered by fire service and refuse to pay anybody.
So they just got rid of the fire department and now the residents have to make a deal with the nearest municipal fire department, kinda like this one.
The pony express only averaged 10 mph and they switched horses once an hour.
If you didn't mind killing a champion racehorse, you could ride 3 days straight and get about 350 miles before it dies. That's only like 5-7 mph. Sprint racehorses can do 26 miles in an hour, but then they're exhausted. A quarterhorse can up to 50 mph, but they only have to run for 20 seconds.
Horses are good at carrying lots of stuff and running quickly for short distances. A human is good at walking for days and days, but with substantially less gear.
Mundy says he has filed more than 150 lawsuits in 18 months demanding damages from small businesses in violation of the exacting requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. [...] Mundy, a beefy ex-contractor with longish brown hair and a daily routine of dining out and enjoying the ocean, spies an 8-inch concrete platform on which a woman in a dark-green sari has set up a table of sunglasses under an awning.
"There's nothing in there that I'd want to buy but this might be of interest to a judge," 50-year-old Mundy, a paraplegic since a 1988 motorcycle accident in Maryland, observed with a knowing air.
[...] "Confined to a wheelchair in California?" Mehrban asks potential clients on his website, www.mehrban.com. "You may be entitled to $1,000 each time you can't use something at a business because of your disability."
The point of the third processor is not efficiency, it is low power. As you said, chips that are designed to be low power aren't necessarily efficient. Similarly, lots of chips have a idle/watchdog mode, but they aren't as low power as a chip designed to do that.
This way you can have the third core do event detection and last a long time on very little power, but then wake up the dual-core to process the events quickly and efficiently before going back to sleep.
Contrarily, much as I like the "suggested searches/autocomplete" feature to help refine my searches, I also like seeing the results for the parts of my search as I type. Frequently, I'll see the results I want before I even finish typing.
On the other hand, it bloats up the search page, but it can be turned off when I'm using an older computer.
The lack of land in Japan leads to minimizing inventory/work-in-progress and efficiency of machinery. This sometimes leads to lower cost of goods as a side effect.
Turbine just generates a non-reversible key from fingerprints. It does nothing to help you out if your fingerprint data gets out. Like by touching a car door.
If this is anything like retina scanning, they're just scanning the eye for 360(or a multiple of) arc samples and storing the average value, maybe 12 bits greyscale or 12 bits RGB.
Consider the amount of variability(or lack thereof) of your iris. No zebra red/blue stripes.
Consider how much your eyes look like your parents'/mailman's eyes.
Consider how much the scanner fudges for head rotation and eye movement.

I don't have them handy, but mostly westerns and space-fiction.
If you switch "raygun" and "pistol", they read about the same.
Even better if it will show papers that are suspiciously similar to pharmaceutical companies advertising literature.

I looked at that photo of him and felt complete indifference.

And who could purge the memory of his performance of "Ninja Rap" in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze.
My county tried doing that for a while.

Either you are from one of those countries that uses a comma as a decimal mark but still uses imperial measurements, or Yiannis Kouros reached orbit.
7857 mph average speed is rather impressive for a human.

Here's one: Tom Mundy and his lawyer Morse Mehrban both make an estimated $300,000 a year suing small businesses
So my password would be ore, ore, ore, ore, ore, ore, ore, ore
I'd rather have tower-cap, quarry bush, pigtail, dwarf, elephant, corpse, corpse, corpse

We don't have a history of coalition governments, so no, we don't have any other parties.

I like how they stick "Fair/poor" together in question 3.
Question 1, as it is worded, isn't too ambiguous. But I bet they asked the questions in reverse order.
I've seen a bootable memory stick XP, I assume there will be a win7 if there isn't already.
You'll have to check your BIOS on a regular basis to see if it has been reset to allow booting from USB.
And after that, you'll have to keep your kid from dumpster diving old computer parts and building his own.
So it would be like music, everybody buying just the boxes with that "Seal of Quality". :)
If the parents are bad parents, the children should be taken because bad parents will buy it for the children anyway.
We should focus on the problem, not taking freedom of choice from everyone who will act properly already.

What's the false positive rate?
It's more like checking out who hangs together at the water cooler, and who seems to direct the flow of conversation.
