Gravity Payments was founded in 2003, so it has been in business for 12 years now. The owners have earned millions in profit for themselves over that time, growing their business from nothing into $13.1 million in 2013 annual revenue. Their growth rate is 128% over the last three years.
Check out the Springfield XD-S, single stack.45. Much better for smaller hands. Of course it kicks like a Kentucky mule, but that is part of what a.45 is.
You articulated it clearer, but you are still wrong. The price of the house includes more than just the simple construction cost. You are also paying for location, which is a huge factor. That is the reason the exact same house can cost different amounts in different locations.
You are close to repeating Adam Smith's "natural price" theory.
"Lantos went on to describe for the president how the Swedish Army might be an ideal candidate to anchor a small peacekeeping force on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Sweden has a well-trained force of about 25,000. The president looked at him appraisingly, several people in the room recall.
"I don't know why you're talking about Sweden," Bush said. "They're the neutral one. They don't have an army."
Lantos paused, a little shocked, and offered a gentlemanly reply: "Mr. President, you may have thought that I said Switzerland. They're the ones that are historically neutral, without an army." Then Lantos mentioned, in a gracious aside, that the Swiss do have a tough national guard to protect the country in the event of invasion.
Bush held to his view. "No, no, it's Sweden that has no army."
The room went silent, until someone changed the subject.
A few weeks later, members of Congress and their spouses gathered with administration officials and other dignitaries for the White House Christmas party. The president saw Lantos and grabbed him by the shoulder. "You were right," he said, with bonhomie. "Sweden does have an army."
They did. But, that doesn't cover all the internal e-mail to her staff that used the same server (Huma), or e-mail to anyone not using a U.S. Government computer.
In October 2012 I bought a new car. it was a close decision between the VW Jetta TDI and Ford Fiesta. The slightly better highway mileage on the Jetta was the deciding factor for me.
Ford probably lost a sale because of this deception.
Something that is technically an impossibility. A true free market is only theoretical construct. In general, consumers rely on price to accurately reflect production cost. Competition without collusion is supposed to drive efficiency in the market, moving the price to ever more accurately reflect costs.
In my example I was using ignorance of the true cost of dumping toxic sewage in rivers and oceans by all parties. "Out of sight, out of mind" is one form of ignorance, and humans are very poor at judging long term consequences from actions.
True, but it does happen when production exceeds storage and you can't just dump the product because of disposal costs or something similar.
And I can't think of one market that has ever been totally free. The only time they're free is when due to ignorance and lack of regulation producers can externalize waste costs. e.g. -- dump waste and sewage in the river or ocean for free, etc.
If you think free markets can't, and don't act erratically, you're delusional. The only time markets don't act erratically is in monopoly situations, where they are tightly controlled -- either by a government monopoly, or a corporate monopoly.
So did you really mean "pizzazz", as in "an attractive combination of vitality and glamour"? Or "pizzas". Because if you've figured out how to get a router firmware to spit out a pepperoni with extra cheese, then sir, your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
You're confusing "not open source" with "sloppy mess". From the same link you sent:
DD-WRT is a third party developed firmware released under the terms of the GPL for many IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h/n wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference design.
The business model doesn't change the GPL nature. Brainslayer arranged professional versions with customization for commercial applications. (Note: Stock, GPL DD-WRT works find on the Buffalo WZR-1750, so it isn't a matter of close-source tweaks.)
I'm interested in OpenWRT because it *is* a cleaner code base and more modular in nature. I like the idea of the packages vs a monolithic system. But that doesn't address the question of why one GPL project has working code for a particular system and another can't use it for their own GPL implementation.
Do these groups communicate at all? I ask because I have the Buffalo WZR-1750DHPD router that comes with DD-WRT straight from the factory. Full open source, etc.
And OpenWRT doesn't really support this router. The comments in the HW database are:
As of OpenWrt 15.05-rc3 (Chaos Calmer):
The 802.11an radio is not recognized. The 802.11bg radio is misconfigured such that most wireless clients will connect to the AP with only a very weak signal.
Which strikes me as odd for a device that already has an open source implementation. You'd figure getting a basic function like the Wi-Fi drivers working would be fairly easy, given a working sample with source.
Yup. Or as hosts entries in your router, assuming it serves DNS up.
The article says they ignore/etc/hosts, but that is on the Windows PC itself. A wifi router running dd-wrt and using dnsmasq reads the hosts file of the router before passing queries on up the chain.
Go to the Administrative tab, then the Commands sub-tab and enter:
Then run the command. Of course, this is assuming your DNS entries on your PCs are set to your local router and not something else like Google's DNS or your ISP's DNS.
The coating lives water and repels oil. Pull it thru an oil-water mix and the water flows thru the holes but the oil doesn't.
Pull it out and it contains a puddle of oil. Rinse it with a little water and the oil comes right off, ready for reuse.
This isn't that uncommon in these types of filters. What is new is that this works dry. Other filters of this type have to be thoroughly wet before they work. This one is oleophobic when dry as well. So no fancy prep to get it to work.
These are commonly used as incentives for any major business that is considering moving into an area. They aren't unique to solar, and aren't offered to residents as tax credits for house top panels are.
They're along the lines of "move here, not there and we'll give you tax credits". Very, very common in the U.S.

THAT is a very good definition of "success".
The Inc. article is very interesting.
Welcome to the Washington, DC metro area. Oh, and it is like that in Chicago, too.

George W Bush, is that you?

Technically my 1985 Jeep Scrambler is an SUV, and I hose the entire thing out on a regular basis. just pull all the drain plugs and go.
They did. But, that doesn't cover all the internal e-mail to her staff that used the same server (Huma), or e-mail to anyone not using a U.S. Government computer.
Yeah. That's the CIA buddy. Good luck with that.

I can't find "Kardashian" in there. I figured it would at least show up under one of the various forms of uncultured bacterium.

Thank you. That makes sense.

In the military they would call her the "morale officer". It is a vital position.
Uh, what? I use Pale Mon on my Ubuntu system at home. What makes you think there is no Linux version?
dd-wrt uses dnsmasq, not bind.

Didn't Microsoft demonstrate that as their "Surface", originally? I believe it is now PixelSense.
I'm uncertain of a successful feet test, though.
Exactly. Except the Hugo site doesn't *itself* define SF. It goes out of its way to say their awards are not limited to just SF.
At least the Nebula Awards specifically call out the genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy. The Hugos are open to all comers.
