I saw a chart that says the app store made like a hundred thousand jobs and has given billions and billions to developers. also apple made an entirely new programming language and is giving that away. I would say they have done a lot.
im gonna get a lot of hate for this, but I've found that sharepoint works pretty well when you're in an all-microsoft shop and everybody knows how to use it.
the problem is fuel. What I think we should do is build a craft to go to Europa with enough fuel to go one way, then mine the moon's hydrocarbon ice floes to make enough to come home.
when they should be spotting that asshole who just ran a red light.
this is +1 the truth. a nearly-blind person could drive a car and it would be OK as long as everybody else acted as expected. but its the times when something unexpected happens - fast lane change, red light runner, jaywalking pedestrian -- that you need to be alert.
a lot of rules that make sense with software code become weird with documents. Qs like when you fork a doc? how do you merge forked docs? things like that.
i think this is generally the right way to go. The problem isn't that they lack a version control tool. the problem is they lack a system and discipline to manage group documents. Bringing in a software solution isn't going to make anything better.
The only thing I think will work is to come up with some office wide ground rules on how to handle documents, then stick with them. And this probably has a 20% chance of working. but better than spending some $$ on a system that won't be used!
+1 to soulskill for including some reference points and orders of magnitude in the summary. now we just need posts from CC advocates/skeptics on how this impacts their arguments.
this is a good point. it was over the course of a big dinner, and I'm a big guy, like 14 stone. So it probably wasn't a factor. On the other hand, the popo were concerned about the empty bottle of Xanax they found in the car. I don't see why, it was empty!
Once I got in a car crash after a dinner in which I had two glasses of wine. I wonder what my BAC was, although I never got the chance to find out cuz I woke up in the hospital. Presumably if it was above.08 I would have woken up handcuffed to the bed.
I don't understand what benefits will accrue from marooning dozens of people on mars. Will it reinvigorate space exploration to know that we sent out a Jamestown colony?
I don't think so. When I was a college student it never occurred to me that I would want to remove the tattoo. It perfectly suited me, and I didn't understand that I would change over time and outgrow the tattoo. This is how kids think. They think that the way things are will remain forever. Forever young!
Some advice for people considering this path -- only get a black ink tattoo. They are much easier to remove than a colored tattoo. The laser has to be tuned to the wavelength of the ink color, so if you have a tattoo that is black, red and green then you need to hit it with three separate lasers and the way one color responds may be different than other colors.
Also, set your expectations. By the time my treatments were complete (6 treatments, each 6 weeks apart), the tattoo was about 2/3 faded. then my body flushed the rest out over the following year. So I can't complain!
Got a tattoo in college. I really liked it for about 10 years, then I decided I was done with it and wanted to move on to another phase of my life. So I did laser removal, and I would say it's 99% gone. You'd have to be pretty close and know where to look to find any trace of it. In short, I rubbed a thousand dollars on it and it came right off!
What dog piled? We had an interesting conversation. In my initial post I estimated the time it would take to make a gallon of gas (a unit of energy) from a square meter of bionic leaf, starting with an estimate of solar insolation (a unit of power density). Looks like an energy equation to me.
some people are disgusting yet they think they have the right to intermingle with everybody else. I knew a bus driver in SF who carried a can of lysol with her and if smelly people got on the bus she would spray lysol on them as they walked by.

Also, how nasa "fudged" the moon landing by filming it in a sound studio.
I think we were both right! Reasonable minds can differ.
> Just my $0.04 (At current exchange rates, my £0.02 is worth more than your $0.02.
That's kind of silly. The expression is my two cents not my two pence.

those are mickey D's requirements on the franchisee. The GP is talking about bundling the burger and the fries to the customers.
There is no such thing as a "declared monopoly"
umm what about utilities? and sports leagues like the NFL?
On the other hand, if I lived in Russia, I would use Yandex services for the simple fact they are taylored for Russia itself.
are they taylor swiffed as well?

A technical tool is going to only really work well for technical staff.
you're a technical tool!

Loooooooooool!

Yes but I prefer the ones that are ribbed and give a tingling sensation.

i wonder how accurate you can be with shelling. can you target a particular building.
Why the hate on battleships? Why are they out of favor?
