If there are limits, it must be only on contiguous areas. There are several people in the US that own hundreds of thousands of acres. I believe Ted Turner owns(or used to) nearly 2 million acres.
There are limits on ownership of land that receives irrigation from government owned sources, I believe.
Duh, non-profits are not required to spend all their money.
They just aren't allowed to pay dividends(that's the "profit"). Lots of NPOs will reserve funds for future expenditures or to cover expected decreases in future revenues.
And that has almost nothing to do with their tax exempt status, as there are many NPOs that are not tax exempt and have to pay taxes just like a regular corporation.
Why does the guy put "SUM()" around all of his math in the formulas?
Did this use to be a requirement for some old spreadsheet software? This is the second time I've seen someone do this and it baffles me. The first I assumed was because the person was an idiot, but I'm unwilling to assume that is the same here.
If you don't Streisand it, most things will drown under the sea of noise. I'm sure there are dozens, if not thousands of actions being taken by our governments that would shock and piss us off, but will never reach the mainstream attention even with the requirements for media avalanches being lowered to some guy with a webcam & youtube.
There are just too many banal activities clogging the public awareness to grasp all the *worse* things.
Exactly, just because Google blacklists malware sites does not mean that all sites that aren't indexed by Google are malware sites.
That said, "antivirus pro 2009" and several other variations used to be advertised a few days ago, as well. I had to clean that crap off a machine in a remote office because the user got nailed by some fake UPS spam and our corporate antivirus(McCrappy) didn't prevent the install and didn't see the infection on the daily scan, only blocked the IE hijacking.
One plus of film is that you can carry an hour of film. You can't really carry the SAN you'd need to store an hour's worth of data from that enormous 261Mp camera. It sucks up around 6 TB/minute. You'd need a pallet jack just to move the finished 90 minute film, let alone all the takes.
This is how you reduce film piracy, give the pirates a freaking hernia.
This is being done by the Herc/Xena guys, btw, so if you tune in expect top quality.;)
You didn't just peg my sarcasm meter, you bent the needle. I now register less sarcasm than before. Yarg, this might be like eating spicy food. What's the sarcasm equivalent of keychain pepper spray?
It isn't so much Lamarackian as "Swiss-Army-Knife"ian or "Switch/Case"ian. The genetics are already present, but are only expressed in the appropriate environment, allowing you to carry genes that aren't always advantageous.
If I were a troll, I'd bring up something about certain groups and their thoughts on the why "fitness" would prevent the development of incomplete features.
(Even a house brick can cause harm to others, so they cannot ban house bricks).
I wonder if we could get the UK to ban house bricks just by spreading the rumor that house bricks are the new "non-antique single-edged curved blade longer than 50 cm".
Oh, even better, also say they are really banning them to decrease housing prices by making it easier to build non-restricted stick frame housing, but think that adding bricks to the Offensive Weapons Order is easier than changing building codes.
It never ceases to amaze me how mild Pad Thai goes down easy but always manages to leap out of my asshole without first asking my sphincter while leaving everything irritated and on fire.
If you are going to pay for it in the end(forgive me), you might as well get the enjoyment along with the suffering and just order the spicy stuff.
Yah, I can understand the waiting list problem(which I believe prompted the first price increase). But for 37k/kid they could practically hire individual caregivers even in California.
Around here, that'd get at least 1 caregiver per child plus facilities/consumables costs, but prices around here are much cheaper.
I think whatever "regular" childcare certification you can get around here earns half that and probably has at least a 1 to 5 kid ratio.
Isn't the reason Google's child care costs are doubling is because they switched to a really insanely expensive childcare service(37k/year/kid!) after one of the VP's had a kid?
They should have made the VP get her kid a grad student or something, it would've been cheaper.
Or the employees could've showed some sanity and found an off-campus daycare that is on their commute...

EG:
=Sum(D78*5)
=Sum(C77-D77)
Why? Instead of just =C77-D77 or =Product(D78,5).
It's the subtractions that really get me.
They should get Hans Rosling, he's got some neat visualizations of data, especially about halfway in.
There is one huge choke point: attention span.

You're completely right, you do need a bigger sensor size.
That's why the sensor is over 7 inches wide.
One plus of film is that you can carry an hour of film. You can't really carry the SAN you'd need to store an hour's worth of data from that enormous 261Mp camera. It sucks up around 6 TB/minute. You'd need a pallet jack just to move the finished 90 minute film, let alone all the takes.

Not likely, the sensor is over 7 inches wide. You could probably use it without a lens.
Um... If the sexuality involves TAXIDERMY shouldn't that rate at least a mention of necrophilia and/or bestiality(depending on the preserved)?
FSM, I shouldn't have waited to buy the second episode. I know what I'm doing tonight.

I thought the proof was in the pudding because there is booze in it. If you can get a russian car to start on a tank of it, that is good pudding.

So they better get a move one, they have less than 500 years before they're screwed. And if global warming increases, they might only have 200!
It'll have to be a late Xmas present, they sold out and aren't getting in more until january.
Who was it who said "Don't make this rape become a homicide"?
Or around here: "you've got questions, we've got blank stares"

It isn't just the news these days. It is well-known that reality has a liberal bias.
There's your problem. Visibility isn't a bool, it is at least an int, or maybe a float. Think, man! The object may have only partial concealment.
it is "by a major studio"
There are tons of full length movies already on there, youtube just wants to skip the middleman:)
