Isn't this kind of like asking the concierge for a dinner suggestion and being referred to a restaurant in the hotel rather than outside? If I ask someone who runs a landscaping company who I should get to mow my lawn... I have a pretty good idea in advance what they are going to say.
Any programming related to simulating real-life scenarios often involves higher math. I wanted to write a simulator for curling (go ahead make fun of me... my friends do)... The actual forces involved governing a spinning rock sliding down bumpy ice are VERY complex before you even get to the collisions.
So... if you are doing DB programming or non-game web programming, you may be able to avoid math, but if you are trying to simulate any real life situations, count on requiring a little more math.
What I find most odd about this...
"... when an emergency arises"
Assuming you own a gun (which I expect you do based on the tone of the comment)... what percentage of the time do you use your gun in an emergency situation vs not?
And your friends with guns?
IF I were to have a gun it would be for sport not protection.
Note: The people most likely to want to get away after being apprehended are both guilty AND repeat offenders. The second factor being a group that might have the foresight to wear such a thing.
Goldman and Sachs itself had decided against investing in Lernout & Hauspie two years previous to this because they were lying about their Asian sales.
It's not that they didn't check or didn't advise that they didn't check. They had evidence to suggest it was a bad idea (they would not invest with L&H) and did not disclose that.
It was all about getting the commission and nothing about ethics or doing right by their customer.
This however is exactly the point, though not for the purpose of violating privacy. Like bandwidth, providers have to provide for the the peaks.
This allows them to better plan their power systems instead of guessing where they need switches and more redundancy.
Agree that if a bad guy can nefariously check my usage and determine I am away by remotely reading the signal while parked in the street, this is concerning. As long as the data is collected in real-time but analysed after the fact, my concern / objection goes away.
Depends on just how FAST you are speeding. At least where I am from... going sufficiently fast becomes criminal in the form of criminal negligence... even if you cause no accident / damage / death.
Not so much. I had a problem with my dishwasher and nothing was available online without spending $50 If it was free I would have done it my self DESPITE it being under warranty
Samsung then had to pay a local person to come fix it for me.
Flip side... I wanted an ANDROID phone (Motorola Razr or Sony xPeria) but my provider was unwilling to sell to me (full price) without also getting a 3 YEAR data contract.
In the end for me, the iPhone was more open in the sense that I could just buy it.
The Indian education system seems to be designed to actively prohibit thinking
Possibly... however having gone through university with a few people from India, I would also note that their education system does an excellent job of equipping students with the tools of HOW TO LEARN.
Perhaps it is just those who would have figured it out anyhow, but one fellow in particular had other students putting off taking a course because he was guaranteed to F up the grading curve... every course, every time in the toughest (at our school) branch of engineering.
My experiences with the Chinese (I am one a couple gens back) and the Koreans and Singaporeans is more in-line with what you suggest of those from India.
Get the downloadable Wikipedia, stuff it on an SD card Keep that in your smart phone and disconnect the data plan Cheaper and will still resolve most of the bar arguments
If you like or dislike all candidates equally I would argue that you haven't done the research and are making excuses. I don't want to rate / order my friends or family, but gun to my head (or theirs) I could.
Compulsory voting is A GOOD THING because it gives the extra push to those who are just on the edge of going what they need to get off their a$$es and vote.
Umm... my deductible on my insurance is around the same as the cost of an entry level laptop... so depending what he is worried about (entry level laptop or netbook), avoiding the broken window may be more important than the stolen laptop.
Figure missing half a day of work to get the window taken care of and another 300-500 for the window replacement depending which one it is and you may stop being so concerned with the laptop.
Don't think so much that it is $5... so who cares. Many (all?) books allow you to download the first 1-2 chapters at $0.00 to assess if you think you will like it
This makes it REALLY easy to discover new authors.

Meh ... I never bothered upgrading two of my machines (main office and laptop) and still use Vista.
With decent drivers I don't mind.
I still find 7 annoying for hiding too much stuff. Vista is bad in this sense, but 7 is worse.
UAC I have (unfortunately) kept enabled ... we are a software company and I need to know when things fail due to that to support our customers.
Or more generally ...

There have been commercially available disguised handcuff keys for a long time.
This one isn't terrible, but not the best I have seen either.

Its something like 80-90% of OUR population (I'm Canadian too) that lives within ~2hrs of the US border.
So most of us can benefit from this.
Note ... even sharp corners (strictly speaking) are round corners where R --> 0
Who else read the title and got distracted thinking about alien attacks before they even got to the summary?
Something like this?

Visio not Vizio (for the charting software)
Google Chrome has an extension to create QR Codes from any link on a page.
With this I set one of my Avatars as a QR code that takes you to "Let me Google that for you" and then searches:
Curiosity killed the cat
Hehehe
Actually ... that would be an extra 768 pixels. ;-P

Little cheaper is this:

Still pricey, but in the $1500-$3000 range me thinks.
Get the downloadable Wikipedia, stuff it on an SD card
Keep that in your smart phone and disconnect the data plan
Cheaper and will still resolve most of the bar arguments
Lots of stuff here:

for crazy cheap and free shipping
