You're free to spend $13 to FedEx your rent check right now (get your quote here - I picked slowest/cheapest option to send an envelope across town). By what factor would first class postage rates need to increase to be "uncompetitive" with that?
Don't forget that the $13 price includes the 'unicast' nature of their imposed business model. Remove the USPS monopoly on local delivery and they can better provide economies of scale.
And then,for a small fee, offer the customer a reverse service: To scan their mail and email it to them.
One of the Scandinavian countries already does this. In the US, EarthClassMail is a service that will give you a 'download/recycle/shred/deposit/forward' button set. I'd be using it already if their nearest center wouldn't incur an additional 2-day delay for my local mail.
Clearly someone didn't think this all the way through.
or possibly: somebody merged a diff early. Microsoft gets control of UEFI, RHAT buys a license, and on Day-Zero all new Windows OEM machines ship with UEFI string checkers that only boot Windows or RHEL (without string 'hacks' - possible legal claims over fraud, +- DMCA interoperability claims).
sometimes it's seen to be desirable to have a crisis so that more power can be seized during the emotional response than would be possible at any other time.
libnetflixplayer.so or something like that - it's a Pepper plugin.
My cobwebbed mind suggests it has some sort of tie-in with TPC that is inactive if the Chromebook isn't running in developer mode. Somebody correct me here.
Yes, and it will be too late to do something about it.
Heh, I was just going to post that somebody was going to say that.:)
The irony here is that if we do something meaningful about it now with the technology we have, it'll take so much of the world's 'GDP' that there won't be anything left for developing real solutions (next-gen power generation devices, e.g. integral fast reactors, fusion reactors, space-based power perhaps). So we'll wind up with an economy in 'heat death' rather than one that can outgrow the fossil-fuel adolescence. This basically implies the return of a Dark Age, which given the current population, probably leads to dirtier burning and a carbon feedback loop that can never be solved.
It's a good Machiavellian strategy but it requires the RH Kernel dev. to put his reputation out on the line. One of the strong points of OSS is that it's very reputation-based. His reputation may well be more valuable to him than his RH employment.
Which makes me think he wasn't put up to it by RH brass and legal but just made a hamfisted move.
If only they had thought to use EEG and neuroimaging techniques during her attempted rehabilitation and the subsequent EOL battle...
Oh, wait, they did, and didn't find anything.
TFS says this is a new fMRI technique and that EEG techniques could be developed (but obviously haven't yet).
fMRI was denied for Schaivo:
On February 23, 2005, the Schindlers filed a motion for relief from judgment pending medical evaluations.[48] The Schindlers wanted Schiavo to be tested with an fMRI and given a swallowing therapy called VitalStim. The motion was accompanied by thirty-three affidavits from doctors in several specialties, speech-language pathologists and therapists, and a few neuropsychologists, all urging that new tests be undertaken.[49][50] Patricia Fields Anderson, the Schindler family attorney, still held out hope "that Terri might be able to take nourishment orally, despite past findings that she is incapable."[51] Judge Greer formally denied the motion and ordered the "removal of nutrition and hydration from the ward" and set the time and date for the removal of the feeding tube as, "1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2005."[52]
It was a geography class and we were supposed to be countries working together.... Kind of sad that international politics is often so similar.
I did a model UN in high school once (no experience necessary, just sign up) and a friend and I represented Qatar (pre-US involvement) because we only got to pick from the smallest countries. Most of the delegates were highly-studied polisci geeks and they represented the Security Council nations and others of global import.
Our strategy was we only cared about oil sales and we forged notes between the US and USSR to secretly instigate a war to sell more oil.
At the time we laughed it off as shits and giggles, but over time I've come to recognize the truth of the exercise.
I've personally been using LUKS for 4-5 years but I've also taken a power/performance hit for doing so.
Just ordered a new laptop with an i5 in it, and even within the i5 family I had to be careful to order a chip with AES-NI in it (the unit with the other specs I wanted winds up being mid-market due to limited configuration choice). But at least now the top 50% of the market has AES-NI built-in and those trade-offs are something to not-so-fondly remember.
This is true. I've worked in advertising and $3000 ain't bad. Sounds like a temper-tantrum to me.
He's not complaining about the $3k, per se, he's complaining that he can't predict what the cost will be and he doesn't feel like spending money to attract new followers for a platform where he can't predict what the cost will be.
While I have no pity for Mr. Cuban(Oh, sure, facebook is just going to suck up the hosting bills for your web page and messaging system forever, for free...)
Why do you suggest he wants it for free when he proposes a monthly fee?
music is dissonant enough to horribly irritate people of a hundred years ago (think heavy metal or a lot of Jazz music)
Heavy Metal tends to be noisy, but later Jazz has a special place in music in that it plays partially in the mind.
I once told a fellow learner, "when I'm playing this piece, my hand wants to naturally reach for this chord, but in jazz, it's just the opposite." He smiled and said, "ah, now you finally understand." It's only because I understood early 20th century Jazz (say ragtime into big band) that I understood the later jazz's use of dissonance. When I listen to it, my mind says, "ah, clever," because I understand why those dissonances are there and that's much of the enjoyment. Cultural references, in jokes, etc. - they all depend on prior knowledge that's inferred and omitted. I suppose it's like kids watching a Toy Story film - they like it, but they don't get a lot of it.
In the same way, people from a hundred years ago simply couldn't fully appreciate jazz, simply because they live a hundred years ago. The future will be interesting as well - most people won't get why those Toy Story films were so successful when they watch them a hundred years from now. Aside from the real music history buffs, most people then might not get much from jazz either.
I know someone who is half African and half Chinese. How would their passing score be calculated?
They have the hard choice of either seeking Mark Dean or Yao Ming as role models. I wonder how the Virginia Plantation's owners would classify those men.
The stated rationale is that students of different races have different starting points
The State has these kids from Kindergarten to ~ age 17. Headstart has already been proven to not affect outcomes, so the pre-K experience isn't all that important on the large scale. So... this seems to be either an admission of ineptitude or error in construction.
The only racial purity left is with the hopelessly inbred European royals
Nah, they tend to be Caucasian, so they're hybrid Cro Magnon and Neanderthal types. The only purebloods left are Africans. Yeah, smoke that in your peacepipe, racists.

Look deeper into this problem instead of yelling "OMG, GUBER'MENT IS BAD".
Who exactly imposed the 75-year rule?

Route frequency should be designated by population density and nothing else.
So long as the taxes levied to support it are similarly proportioned.

Nah, could never happen.
It isn't deadlock every time a bill is voted down

The selection of "free" movies for Prime members is comparable to Netflix's selection
Shirley, you must be joking.
Yes, and it will be too late to do something about it.

So, it sounds like these could be immediately deployed for an ext* external journal or ZFS zil/log device.
Pretty sweet, now somebody just give me a barebones PCIe card with DDR3 slots and a linux block device driver.

Yes, despite the numbers Apple is still the most popular smartphone OS and is destined to become the dominant player in this space.
</rdf>
Come on, Apple. This claim is bullshit. Stand up for the developers who make your App Store and ecosystem a success.
Apple just doesn't have the cash to fight a small boardgame company from Germany.
(which led to hybrid vigor that may well have helped trigger the European conquest of the rest of the world 500 years ago)
Hey, that's not PC. ;)
For about a third of half of the days of the year...assuming they actually show up.
The rest of the time, their life experiences are likely to differ substantially.
Are you arguing that ~19000 hours of instruction is insufficient to cover basic academic skills?
This is true. I've worked in advertising and $3000 ain't bad. Sounds like a temper-tantrum to me.

Even those of us with better incomes are 'nouveau' and are never truly accepted.
Yeah, it's just 'better'. Parley that into owning a couple multinational banks and get a seat on the Fed. Board and you'll start seeing some respect.
