Cost per day = 15,120,000 * 24 *.00346 = $1,255,564.8
Hoh Lee Crap are you off. Around here it costs about 40 cents to run a computer all day. If they have 10,000 of them that's four thousand dollars, which I note is just a touch under your otherwise stellar figure of one and a quarter million dollars. Of course, maybe where you live it really does cost $125.56 per day to run a computer. If so I apologize.
Brittany can suck for 65 minutes? COOOOOOOL! where do I find her?
If you wait a few years, perhaps on a street corner somewhere in L.A., wearing hot pants, with her belly rolling over the waistband, muttering "I was a star, dammit - Hey baby! Where you goin? Slow down, sugar..."
As an added bonus it comes in a cheaper, more breakable case.
And if you act now we'll also include absolutely free as our gift to you this genuine bonus track guaranteed to lock up your computer. So you don't forget, call before midnight tonight.
The home market is MUCHO BIGGER for the movie industry.
Which is (and why am I not surprised) the very market the movie industry tried to kill off. They thought "No - this is not how we are make money! Kill it kill it!" Later, when they had no choice, they came to realize it was much better than what they already had. perhaps the music industry should take the hint.
Hey - google our words and get modded up? What kinda deal is that?:-)
Google got the gist, at least. here's a smoother translation:
The devil is in my pants! Look, look!
I can't. I don't have my magnifying glass.
You're an amusing little man. But I didn't say my penis is the devil, only that he is in my pants.
OK, you're right. But obviously there is a lot of room in your pants.
As a shareholder, I'm curious to see if all these purchases are truly being made to improve Apple software, or just to limit Windows users access to such software.
200,000 users. For Microsoft to lose those customers is a mild annoyance. For Apple it's a huge gain, as they get to sell them several hundred million dollars worth of hardware. This is brilliant on Apple's part. Find the dominant software player in a small market and convert all those users to Macs. In these situations Apple makes so much more per customer than Microsoft does that while it's a very profitable deal for Apple it would be infeasible for a software-only company such as MS.
Ahh, now I understand your position, but I think you're mis-judging the situation. Often it is easy to defend and it is the attack that needs to be flawless:)
In those cases where the attacker is an expert player a "squirrelly" defense is required to drag it out over 50 moves. That defense is difficult, not easy. BTW, if it helps qualify my opinions somewhat, When I played tournament chess I held a master's rating.
Here's a facinating problem, I suggest you actually try it: Grab a friend and a chessboard. You take a bishop, knight and king vs a lone king.
Yes, mating with a bishop and knight is difficult, and even most tournament players can't do it. But we're talking about a world-class player. For them it's not an overly difficult thing.
I don't believe there is an atmosphere to parachute from @ 35miles.
"Parachuting" is mostly falling, and that part will work just fine. He can open the parachute when he gets a little lower. He'll need a warm sweater, though, and something to breathe.
I have a question... were you envisioning the human or the computer having the "won" position?
The human would have the winning position. The defenses that extend the game out beyond the 50 moves are, well, weird. It would be difficult for even the best human players to "defend" perfectly. I put defend in quotes because it isn't really a successful defense in that it saves the position - it's succeeds only because the rules say they have to stop playing.
So I imagine a world champion with a personality like, say, Fischer. He'd go nuts if he had a win but the arbiter stepped in and told he couldn't keep playing.
Uhm, isn't it in three consecutive moves from both white and black?
No, he's right, it's the same position three times, with "position" having a tighter definition than just the pieces being in the same place - It has to be the same player's move for each repetition, and with the same options, such as castling. One oddity, if the first occurrence permitted an en pasant capture then that could not be part of a repetition.
His first rule, though, was not quite right. he said "if twenty-five rounds have passed without a capture or pawn move." There are some positions where it has been proven that more than 50 moves are required to win against best defense. Those positions are excepted from the rule. Those proofs were done using computers, natch.

You make it sound like it was done during the games. No, this was pre-match preparation, and the exact same thing is done by human players in preparing for a match. They also have "seconds," with whom they sit down each night and analyze the day's game. If the game was adjourned, meaning it will be completed the next day, then they analyze that position, too.
always bet your money on the people WITH the money.
Exactly. Now where did I put that Enron stock?
seriously though, things change. And it's the rare company/industry that smoothly adapts to that change. Instead they cling to their no longer valid business model that always worked before. They attempt to impose their will, and for a time will succeed, but eventually the burden of their artificial market becomes too much to bear and (caution: changing metaphors in mid-stream) a great fire clears the forest for new growth.
Considering that the way the word is used is its primary definition, I'd say the problem lies more with the reader. Had the author intended it the other way he may well have written "becomes even more suspect."
This is an example of how imprecise use of a word over time leads to a weakening of that word. Things of which one would be suspicious should be called suspect, not suspicious. The sloppy use has become an accepted definition, and because of that the word has lost some of its power to properly communicate, as is demonstrated here.
If you've ever used colored currency* long enough to become proficient with it you too will wonder why the US hasn't adopted it. It just makes things easier. As an extreme example, consider a traffic light. You could mamange if all the lights were the same color, but this way you know at a glance what the signal is.

Apparently you can't tell very far. Photoshop was not involved.

Bueno. Tiene razón. Pero obviamente hay bastante campo en sus pantalones...

actually I think that's not quite right. We left more trash on Afghanistan than on the moon.

No puedo. No tengo mi lupa.

I didn't know that. Thanks. I'll bet they change it right back, though, if the human World Champ reaches one of those positions against a computer.
:-) Just a silly impulse.
No, he's right, it's the same position three times, with "position" having a tighter definition than just the pieces being in the same place - It has to be the same player's move for each repetition, and with the same options, such as castling.
