Effective range of 300 feet? No. Half that at best. She was using number 7.5 and it was either a.410 or 20 gauge shotgun so probably much less than that.
300 is pushing it, but certainly more than half that.
I can routinely hit birds at the clay course at 75 yards with a 20GA and a full choke shooting #7.5 or #8. I have friends (who are admittedly much better shooters than I) who can do it with a 28GA.
Except that an aircraft flying over your property is not entering your property.
In point of fact it is. I own the airspace above, as well as the mineral rights below my property. This is baked into the laws concerning real property. You may not enter those spaces without permission, either granted or contractual.
There is an implied right of way given to aircraft which is arbitrated by the FAA. This does not in any way imply a transfer of title to that airspace.
HP hasn't had a successful acquisition since they bought Convex Computer decades ago. They essentially trash every company they buy and either let it die or sell off the remains. Palm, EDS, Zenith Data Systems.... it goes on.
Since HP is now run by bean counters, acquisitions give an "illusion of progress" to those who cannot lead innovation.
This has been a systemic problem with HP since the Fiorina days.
The company is dying and most of their innovators have moved on in frustration.
That isn't quite true. While some have certainly been busts, others 3PAR and Aruba for example have been quite successful.
People on various sides of various issues try not to believe it, would like not to believe it, but Markets Work. You can't stop them just by making rules against them, not without insanely powerful enforcement mechanisms..., and usually not even then.
Well, that's certainly one creative way to describe the demand driven by physical and psychological addiction.
Except that this has nothing to do with the argument. Markets work because people demand goods, period. Their motivation for the desire is completely irrelevant. It is a fundamental principle of economics that we always want as much of a good as we can consume. Why we want it doesn't matter. You might argue that these types of drugs, driven by addiction are not actually a good, but are in fact a bad. The behavior of these markets would demonstrate otherwise.
Also, since you can only deduct 30-50% of your Adjusted gross income. Even in the best 50% case, unless you have an AGI of $200k, you cannot simply deduct $100k (although in some cases you can carry forward for up to 5 years). That might be reasonable for someone in the bay area, but not for the average widow cleaning out a garage. Also, if you are a widow and have an AGI that high, you are probably very near the schedule A limitation on deductions to 80% (remember obama says you are rich).
Except that she can carry it forward for probably five years. Now shes only trying to deduct 20K/year and with even a modest income, will likely fall under 30%
Check the tip diameter and make sure it matches the wire diameter. This is an easy one to miss.
If that isnt your issue, most likely your liner is kinked
Because if you call it workshop upper middle class guys will think it's a place where dirty. low-class, lowlifes work with old techniques like welders
Everyone is different. I'm an upper Middle class white guy. I have multiple graduate degrees, I can also make damn near anything out of wood, plastic, or metal, and have a private workshop with the means to do so. Most of my equally upper middle class white guy friends, have old cars, motorcycles, or tractors and know how to service them and in many cases build them from essentially scratch. They aren't mutually exclusive.
Welding is a good way to make stuff, and even an upper middle class guy should be able to learn it. The equipment for MIG welding is simple and cheap. Any decent workerspace/makeshop should have one. You also want a CNC vertical mill, and lathe, even if it is just a table top, like a Sherline. ..
This is an important distinction, at least for me.
You need to have the stuff that people likely don't have in their own workshops and staff that knows how to use it.
I have an abnormally well equipped personal workshop and the skills to use it.
What I don't have is the things like a CNC Mill, and because of the cost, I'll probably never have one.
I gladly pay the day rate at my (not so)local coop when I need to use one
Or you know.. maybe take a business class.
tax Evasion is illegal.
tax Avoidance is perfectly legal and is taught in accounting classes in every business school.
yes, but when the possible set of coders is everyone in your class, and what you really want to see is if the same kid wrote 5 other students submissions this is perfect and is at least one of the obvious use cases.
What we are talking about is an article that combines fifteen years of tax deductions in order to put that magic "B" in the title to get people excited....
What w'ere really talking about is a standard accounting practice in the purchase of ANY business.
The asset and liabilities columns have to total to the same in any balance sheet. When the purchase price exceeds assets, an imaginary asset called goodwill is added. There is nothing unusual in any way at all about this.
A huge waste of time. He has 6 servers. 6. It would be far simpler, and probably cheaper to boot, to just host them, at Rackspace or some other hosting facility that is not in a disaster prone area. The workstations should not contain data and so can be safely abandoned. If you wish to pack them up and move, unless they're quite high end, laptops and docking stations solve this problem quite easily as well.
Did she make it clear in her initial call that she was returning it for a hardware defect,
Sadly it doesn't seem to matter. I recently got the exact same explanation when they refused the RMA of a motherboard.
ASUS had already determined that it was defective. I had the ASUS case number and provided it.
We can't resell it, therefore we won't accept it. A quick call to American Express to challenge the charge solved the problem, but NewEgg Customer Service sucks.
Oracle still needs to show damages, they have none, or that Google created by virtue of this copying, a commercial advantage. Again there is none.
End result, they copied a trivial function rather than spending 5 minutes writing it. Its a non-issue.
To tell you the true, this gives us a clear hint about Oracle's future.
SCO did exactly the same thing in the past - but, honestly, I think SCO's lawyers did a better job.
In what way? Oracle is the 2nd biggest software house on the planet, the clear leader in several verticals and makes and/or sells literally hundreds of products.
Which of these things in even a remote way, describes SCO?
I'll skip the Python/Ruby/Java/Whatever debate, and throw in my 2 cents for the head first series of books.
They have a ton of them for every common language as well as a variety of other topics.
They're written at a beginner level, aren't insulting and are really alot of fun. The combine all sorts of exercises and gimicky little games to make a more immersive experience, and it really does work.
They're published by Oreilly which gives them all the credibility they should need, but they are written at a level that a novice, even a child can learn from and have enough content, that an experienced reader can likewise expect to learn something
Don't people use photocopiers anymore? no, they grab a torrent of the PDF of the book. I can find and download most textbooks in less time that it take you to walk to the copier.
Most students can do it faster than that.
there are distribution channels and contracts that prevent someone in
This isn't a contractual issue. This is a copyright issue. No one is claiming breach of contract. Furthermore, the defendant in this case never entered into any sort of contract with the publisher. He purchased books on the open market and resold them on the open market. The plaintiffs are claiming copyright infringement.
This should be a clear cut example of the first sale doctrine, and should have never gotten beyond a district court.
Um, gambling IS illegal. Unless you're in Las Vegas.
Or an Indian Tribe or a state running lotteries (which really pay a tiny pittance to schools.)
Or you know, any other state except Utah. 49 of the 50 states have some form of legalized gambling including 19 that allow commercial casinos, and many others that have reservation casinos.
The most common reason for needing a restore, is accidental deletion.
It is, but the most common use for tape is compliance, Many companies, and all public companies have compliance issues,
SarBox, HIPAA, GLB, etc. Most require data retention of many years. In some medical settings as much as 21 years. Do you want to keep that all on spinning disks? or on CHEAP tape sitting in a box at Iron Mountain? In my environment, and that of many large companies, we no longer measure terrabytes, except at the individual database level. We manage several petabytes.
disk based solutions are operationally ideal. Thats why products like Avamar and Data Domain do so well. But for large, long term, low access, storage, tape is still king.

To format the drive on a machine with MFM or RLL encoded harddrive, you had to access the rom from debug debug G=C800:5

People who do 56 MPH on the Interstates should get the chair.
Agree, in fact anyone doing under 70, or under 85 in the left hand lane should be summarily executed
No one gets a law degree in IP--that sounds like you don't know what you are talking about.
Except when they do. It took me less than a minute to find a law degree from a very legitimate university with a concentration in IP law

I'm sure with a little more time, it would be no challenge to find others.
Except this isn't a medical device. Its practice management and it isn't FDA certified, nor does it require certification
