Assuming that in a boiler, the volume of the boiler and amount of water in it is constant (i.e the amount of steam leaving is the same as the amount of water coming in), then the temperature and pressure are directly proportional.
Which absolutely sucks if you have more than one person in your household that plays the game, now you'll need to have a separate copy of the game for each person.
Last I checked, you had to have a separate computer for each person too. I guess the hardware companies are just being greedy too?
"See I think drugs have done some good things for us. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all of your records,tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because, you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs, man."
It's probably because the "non-illegal, non-meth-head, reliable and competent contractors" were constantly underbid and thus driven out of business by people that would rather save a buck than have it done right.
We hear over and over again how the LHC cost too much (while forgetting that the quoted numbers are the accumulated cost over 15+ years).
Now the idea is that too few was spent?/puzzled/
While my comment was specifically in regards to the GP's comment about contractors in AZ, it does in some way apply to your comment as well.
FTS: "Technicians have spent most of the last year cleaning up and inspecting thousands of splices in the collider. About 5,000 will have to be redone"
Reading this I see two likely explanations, either the engineers that spec'd the splices didn't design them correctly for the purpose needed, or the builder cut corners and did not make the splices as spec'd. If that is the case that the builder cut corners, its probably because they underbid it, and did it cheaply. So in this case, spending more up front is less expensive than having to pay the techs to go back over it and fix it right the second, or third time.
Non-illegal, non-meth-head, reliable and competent contractors are extremely rare around here.

If you were really that afraid of getting in trouble for having Nazi-related material on your screen, why are you even reading and posting to this Slashdot article.
Personally, I think "battle tested" pilots, such as Captain Sully, have a much better chance of landing that plane on the Hudson than Airbus' programmers do.
And if the gov't does remove these license fees, which of the following do you think is more likely to happen? Every manufacturer lowers the cost of their products by $25 to $40, or just pockets the money and the consumer continues paying the same amount for the TV as though nothing changed.
But your complaint is about a free service provided by Google. If it is that critical and outsourced, then you pay for an SLA. Last I checked there is no SLA for the free version of Gmail, only the paid versions Gmail offer any SLA.
The free version was perpetual beta because they were constantly testing new features.
I'm not sure I buy into "usage tracking is an invasion of privacy" mantra. It seems to me this is a modern day "taking your photograph will steal your soul" sort of superstition. Is the internet not a public place? I'm not sure what kind of privacy people expect while using it.
Because there is a difference between the Google Street View car just happening grab a picture of me in my car at a stoplight and it following me everywhere I go just because I am traveling on a public road.
If this becomes a problem, I imagine they'll make baby monitors actually run on Wifi. Imagine your baby monitor being an internet device even if it's only relaying packets back and forth through your hub with nothing special. Maybe as a side benefit you can capture baby audio noises to Wifi network as MP3 or something for posterity, with a noise detector to catch anything significant (I envision emailing grandma 12am baby babble heard through the monitor).
You what would be even better!! How about if the baby monitor automatically tweets to the parent's Twitter account:
Does anyone care for this child? 3:10 AM May 11th from TwitterMon
@bad_par3nt the baby is screaming. WAKE UP! 2:30 AM May 11th from TwitterMon
@bad_par3nt the baby is still screaming. 2:20 AM May 11th from TwitterMon

This got modded 'funny', but I think 'insightful' would have been a lot better mod.
Seriously, the 'you can't sell the game' argument falls apart for so many reasons.
1) If it's a good game, you aren't going to sell it anyhow. At that point, Steam's easy and free replacement policy (just redownload it!) is much better than a physical CD.
And when Steam goes out of business, you have nothing at all to show for any of the games you have purchased.
At least with the physical media, what happens to id does not affect the physical media.
They already did the work. Why should be indebted to them after the fact? I dont pay the electrician for every time I turn on the lights. I dont pay the carpenters who made the framing in this house whenever I go inside. I dont pay the car companies whenever I drive to and fro. So, why should I pay for a download with a cost that approaches 0?
The difference is that the examples that you give are physical objects that cannot be copied with nero-zero cost.
Also, the IP cost is built in the price of most if not all goods that you purchase, including cars. When you buy that car from the car companies you are not paying just the marginal cost to produce that car. Also you would be crazy to think that if you could replicate that car for near-zero cost yourself, that the car companies would not sue for copyright infringement.
"Hello, this is Happy Dude! The court has ordered me to call every person in town to apologize for my telemarketing scam. I'm sorry. If you can find it in your heart to forgive me, send one dollar to : Sorry Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield. You have the power!"
The Telco has used the time that they have delayed the cities project to begin laying its own fiber network. This is the very same fiber network that the city original requested to be installed.
Nothing a few misplaced backhoe shovels can't fix while the city catches up building their network behind TDS.
Also, I agree that hopefully the citizens of this city choose to support their city (not to mention their tax money paid to create the network) and use the municipal fiber lines.
Nice huh? Let's recap some advantages here: -You can verify that your vote was counted and correctly -You can't determine who voted for whom, except yourself.
Except what if your boss (or some other authoritative figure), calls you into his office, brings up the web page login and says "Prove to me you voted for X or your fired", or "Prove to me you voted for Candidate Y and I'll give you a large sum of money"
Any system that allows a vote to be tied back to its voter can be manipulated.
I think people (meaning those rejecting college applications) need to stop being so uptight.
I drink beer. So what?
Probably because if an applicant is willing to disregard the laws in order to underage drink or perform other illegal activities and flaunt them on the internet then likely he or she have no qualms with breaking the college honor code.
When Admissions has at least an order of magnitude more applications than open slots, they can afford to be picky about those things.
Without Jobs' return, Apple would be what HP/Compaq are today - shitty printer ink companies.
Comments like those just demonstrate the typical ignorance of a Mac fanatic.
HP had $104 billion in revenues in 2007, Apple had $24 billion.
HP had 309000 employees in 2007, Apple had 17000.
Those figures don't mean anything. On their own it says to me that HP only made 4 times as much in revenue than Apple while having 18 times the manpower.
I think the main difference is that there are lots of subscribers to DirecTV and Dish that have no alternative for TV programming, i.e live too far away from population centers to recieve cable services. But they can still receive multiple terrestrial radio stations.

If you can not afford to lose email service, then maybe you should not depend on Google to provide the service for free.
It's not that hard to setup your own email server and backup it up.
