It's probably not a coincidence that minimum wage has been rising WAY above the rate of inflation over the last 40 years. If minimum wage followed the rate of inflation since it was first implemented, then the current federal minimum wage would be about $4.07 an hour. (You can do the calculation yourself if you don't believe me. Minimum wage was 25 cents an hour in 1938 when it was first implemented. Adjust that for today's dollars, and there's your result.)
No, and neither is having a clip of it on the internet (a one minute clip from a 24 minute show easily qualifies as fair use) but Viacom routinely scans youtube for anything mentioning south park and will send a DMCA takedown, and I don't have the time/energy to fight it.
I think the appeal that museums like this would provide is the old style arcade cabinets, physical console devices (including much maligned yet now rare devices like ROB) and other accessories that can't be had from an emulator or a youtube clip.
One thing that they might also be able to provide, is the old 80's style arcades, maybe even 90's style (not much difference other than better graphics.) Sure, modern arcades exist, but they aren't quite the same atmosphere that was found back then.
That's true, but Skype is also a big part of it. Carriers throughout the world hate Skype because it impinges on their ability to charge overages for long distance calls (which is where most of them make their money.) As a result, most carriers wouldn't try to push WP devices on their customers in their retail stores. However the crappy UI explains why Microsoft hasn't had much success pushing it in their home-grown stores as well.
I would think that if Microsoft hadn't bought Skype, they probably would have at least come close to their sales goals, which I estimate maybe 8%-9%. There goal being a 10% global market share, as per their statements of wanting to be the third in the "rule of three"
And the reason I say that is because of two things: First, they throw the Microsoft brand on it (which even though Microsoft is unpopular here, the brand itself does have a lot of value, even though it's not a coca cola, a google, or an apple, it's pretty far up there) second, they managed to get Nokia to agree to be exclusive.
The platform really does suck though. It has the walled garden of apple with none of the redeeming power user features of Android (in fact its API set is even less powerful than that of iOS. Apple regulates security through denying apps, whereas Microsoft regulates security by making it so that the programmer can't really do anything interesting AND denying apps, so the platform as a whole just blows.)
That isn't a meg or a carly thing really. This has been in the works for a long time, pretty much since the HP touchpad flop. Basically the purpose behind the split was because the consumer division (printers, desktops, touchpad) would frequently drag the enterprise division (servers, networking gear, storage gear, which generally does pretty well) into the mud along with its routinely shitty performance.
They likewise believe that if they have a more stable stock for the enterprise division, it would be easier to attract investors.
Cisco IOS routers themselves have an "autosecure" command that is essentially wizard-style checklist that does indeed lock everything down pretty well by turning off everything that you don't think you need.
NXOS takes this a step further by having all features off by default, and you enable them as you need them.
Although IOS has a ton of services on by default (for example, eigrp, cdp) not all of them are actively listening unless you explicitly configure them, but still, turning them off is a good idea. IOS itself is somewhat of a holdover from the 80's where network security wasn't seen as being as big of a deal as it is today, and Cisco is resistant to making big changes like that. (Strangely, Cisco sees fit to continue IOS instead of using NXOS on all of its devices from now forward.)
It very much does. Evolution as a whole deals with how species change from one to the next. You're just picking an arbitrary cutoff point of where nonliving matter becomes nonliving matter and saying "ok this isn't evolution", even though there's an evolutionary process to get there.
You seem to think abiogenesis is somehow part of evolution. They are two separate things. This is my point.
Of course it is, you're just splitting hairs over which time period we're referring to (and/or you're splitting hairs over micro vs macro evolution.) Abiogenesis itself is where we get from individual amino acid molecules to prokaryotes (we already know where the amino acids themselves came from.) The process of abiogenesis is without a doubt evolution, just the early early stages of it, or rather just one of many processes (for example, horizontal gene transffer, viral gene transfer, natural selection, selective selection, and the most recent, genetic engineering.)
Bottom line is you can't just instantly start with a full set of proteins that self replicate from just amino acids alone.
Abiogenesis is just one (and the most obvious) part of evolution that is not yet known. There are still plenty of other processes that aren't fully understood, however I deliberately fixated on that as one example, just to show that we don't (yet) have the answers to everything.
Only creationists claim to have the answers to everything. And I don't give a shit if you're a christian or an atheist, if you think you know it all, then you may as well be a creationist.
I work in a job that's easily 60% training, if not more. Why? Because I work for a company that is always getting new stuff to demo to customers (think filers from netapp, EMC, 3par, networking gear from Cisco, Brocade, and HP, and most recently, hyperconverged units from Nimble, Nutanix, Netapp, EMC, and many other misc things such as Netezza solutions, Oracle solutions, etc) and I always have to learn to configure it in order to maintain and sometimes build the demo unit.
Good, because if you were a Christian libertarian you'd be a complete fucking moron.
Well a true Christian libertarian differs from me only in terms of their viewpoint of the world around them. If somebody is a Christian libertarian, then they believe in their god, the bible, and Jesus, but doesn't believe that their beliefs should be law.
Actually, indeed, very few do succeed. I remember reading a statistic somewhere that well over 99% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct.
Correct. And the main point I was hitting on is that even to this day, our understanding of the processes of evolution continues to change. For example, most of the material (perhaps 95%) written in Charles Darwin's Origin of Species isn't even followed by modern science. I.e. Darwin wasn't aware of DNA.
You make great points about some of the missing pieces in our understanding of evolution. You should consider applying your own approach to the alleged merits of Libertarianism which has far less empirical evidence backing it up than evolution.
The missing pieces are the exact reason why I'm a libertarian. I personally am not even 100% sure what is best for myself, let alone everybody else. Hence I believe that not myself, nor anybody else, should be allowed to dictate how everybody else lives. That ranges in all subjects, from gay marriage to owning firearms.
I do believe in the rule of law, but mainly for the purposes of making sure that people don't interfere with other people's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit.
Do tell me however, why you're so sure that being authoritarian on certain matters is the best approach? Because if you don't identify as libertarian, then surely you have a lot of beliefs in that how you live your life surely should work best for everybody, and therefore they must obey your rules.
Really. Ok then, since abiogenesis is proven and I just need to read a little, do write out the exact mechanism with which amino acids formed proteins, explain how RNA became a thing from scratch, and then explain how the exact environmental conditions that made this possible.
Be detailed, explaining every chemical process, and show your math where applicable.
Like evolution, science itself is subject to survival of the fittest. The best theories ultimately pass peer review and gain mainstream acceptance. Presently, when it comes to the origin of species, evolution is the fittest. And do remember, that even though we have a general understanding of mutations and natural selection, the precise explanation of how we got from mere amino acids to multi-celled organisms still remains a mystery for the most part, and our understanding of it continues to change as we make more discoveries.
So until we've gotten it 100% figured out, I'm fine with somebody saying that it's "just a theory", even if they say so multiple times. Besides, this action here is leagues better than saying some invisible man did it.
Probably not because they made a classic OBOB error. I'm guessing 256 is a reference to an 8-bit value. Trouble is, 9 bits are required to represent the number 256. This is the kind of shit that happens when you can only support 8-bits and need to add one:

I think it's more likely they'd just issue DMCA takedown notices to the URL shortener providers.

I actually found the clip I'm looking for by searching on Google, but it wouldn't load for whatever reason, so meh.
No, and neither is having a clip of it on the internet (a one minute clip from a 24 minute show easily qualifies as fair use) but Viacom routinely scans youtube for anything mentioning south park and will send a DMCA takedown, and I don't have the time/energy to fight it.

I'd love to link to the scene where Cartman asks if he has been checked for bombs, but alas, DMCA and all...

I think the punishment for that is death by baloonga in most jurisdictions.

Again, if you wanted that kind of thing.

Next court in this case would be SCOTUS. Goodluckwiththat.
In terms of education, genetics often come into play, and again, there's more to it than natural selection, even if we ignore abiogenesis entirely.
It very much does. Evolution as a whole deals with how species change from one to the next. You're just picking an arbitrary cutoff point of where nonliving matter becomes nonliving matter and saying "ok this isn't evolution", even though there's an evolutionary process to get there.
