The problem in the US is very low population density we always hear that lame excuse. But many (if not all) of your high density city have sucky broadband access. Only countryside and small cities would have a problem with low density. The *SOLE* problem you have is the partially again one you cited in the next sentence. The problem in the US is very low population density combined with a duopoly when it comes to internet service. The problem is that many high density corner of the US have a partial or full monopoly, not even a duopoly. So there you have it.
How does that compare to general addiction exposure ? For example to people doing gambling how many % are addicted ? To those doing drug from time to time, how many % are addicted ? How many doing any hobby fall into an addicting loop ? Or evena re addicted to TV ? If the aforementioned % are lower or higher maybe it would tell something, but 8.5% EVEN if the methodology was correct, is a nonsense absolute number telling us nothing.
So at SOME point, Monsanto seeds will be free for the grab, and farmer with contaminated fields can smile at any Monsanto lawyer and show them the bird.
Capitalism only wins if there are neither artificial or natural monopolies (and one could argue that with books it is certainly often the case) or artificial barrier to competition like DRM to implement region encoding. There is no reason whatsoever to have something like BITS limited to a region of the globe, except to artificially limit the market.
Science news report. But there is worst than that : intentionally misrepresenting news. Need I mention the MMR scare ? The fact also that they never correct the stuff they get bad, is also a sign that at least the direction/editorial team don't care and target for the sale only. Seeing hown often that happen even on non-yellow paper for science, you can imagine how often that happens with politic. Case in point take anything controversial and look at the news on all side of the ponds and on various continent. You have to ask yourself if they are speaking of the same stuff..
You can mod off topic.
Look on badscience.net (Mathias Rath / South Africa state on AIDS)).
It needs to be repeated that a real tragedy happenned in south Africa. Thankfully Mbeki' resigned and hopefully the new one will be a bit better.
So when the ultra corrupt south African govt make up new biometric passport... I would say this is the smallest of the problem of south Africa.
The reason old terminal are in uppercase only is due to readability. Try for example "i l 1 !" and compare to "I L 1 !" heck many current "old" application (read from the 1960/1970) support lowercase (and have for the last 10/20 years) but only output uppercase due to readability. I program on such an application. The things about deity is a very old joke.
As somebody said, hibernation support sucks. And if you are in the boot of a chef department, you calculate the cost this way : 1 minute to shutdown, 2 to 3 to boot up with win xp and network drive. Now multiply by 200 worker, at a price of 60 per co worker. By multiply by what, 200-250 days ? You quickly see that the economy spoken about is not a real economy. it is actually a loss for the firm, until electricity price match that loss, nobody in its right mind and knowing how to make additions will CARE.
*OR* nothing really happened, as pointed out multiple time grid control are not on the net, and somebody just overhyped something far more usual like hacker trying to get control on a computer linked to internet for botting.
If I could just pay with my CC, and play with it after an initial activation, I would do it. But the DLC of fallout 3 I had to go through loop and hoop and passport whatever. No thanks.
I can only take the example of WOW where I start playing recently. For established MMO (aka : not the first weeks or evemn few first month) the target of opportunity for new player is lost to game the auction house. On WOW this is exarcerbed as everybody and their grandma have a twink or half a dozen on the realm where they most play, often with multiple profession. And if they do not, they have huge amount of gold. The NET effect is inflation on all goods. So, for example, some low level (15) items go off for 7 or 8 gold coins (and not that rare item either, like silver stab for disenchat) which at the level you want to get it to use it as roughly 150-250% of a REAL newbie total fortune depending on your secondary profession. So only twix buy them because they have the money. The net result is that you need to "farm" for hours some stuff to get the money, or jsut give up on it. Don't get me started on some of the superfluous stuff like mount (with 45 gold 100 to 200% the real money of a newbie at level 30 unless you never had to buy anything at all) or bags. I such circumstance, I can imagine why someboy would INDEED skip the boring part and try for sold money.
The most probable explanation is extremly shoddy hardware engineering combined with extremly shoddy software engienering ina bid to make as much benefit as possible. I have seen this with another touch screen machine, and although I did not ask the team what was the problem in detail, the aforementionned point were the problem. The old adage probablym hold : Never attribute to malice what can adequately explained by idiocy and/or greed.
- We have got a lizard problem now, they will eat all the bird, not only the pigeon
- No problem we will breed and release chinese poisonous snake
- and what if the poisonous snake become a problem ?
- Then we will breed gorilla to hunt the snake
- Gorilla ?
- And winter will then take care of killing them
AFAIK the whole remotely controlled stuff is not on internet or anything but on modem and similar box (can't remember their name) to which you have to directly dial in (non routable), and is separately powered from the power grid. If not I would fire the ass of the guy in responsibility: who in their right mind would put the control structure for a power grid, on something which can only be accessed when the same power grid is functioning. Also there are local control which override any possible remote control anyway.
Thus far there just isn't a good suggestion for how you'd deal with North Korea and not have it lead to massive loss of civilian life on one or both sides.. Oh yes there is. Just act diplomatically until the current crop of hard liner dies out. As long as NK don't make a REAL hostil action (like firing their artillery or bombard another country) there is really no reason to NOT wait it out.
If people by word of mouth start to spread the story is crappy, the dialogue corny, and laughable, etc.... then it might sink the movie before anybody see it. Then OTOH it would sink the same way by word of mouth after the first few day, but one month bnefore release it might be in a state which could make a good movie or an average one worst than it would be if finished.
I know that some people like to joke, I know that some people NEED the April fool. But seeing the reaction from my friends, colleague, and family, the JOKER can only be in the FREAKING MINORITY. Thankfully most traditional news service ehre around stopped the April fool madness a few years ago.
Yes, but the French are well know for their obstinate defense of their language and culture; frequently refusing to adopt foreign words, technologies, and culture until a french equivalent is re-created from scratch.
a MINORITY of french, particularly a few academic and minister with nothing else to do do that. But most french could not care less. I never used couriel or whatever it is called, and everybody I know use email as word.
Let us look at the population penetration of iphone sale with your own statistic:
Japan population 128 million ; 70,000 iphone ; penetration (iphone/total pop) 0,055%
US population 300 million ; 600,000 iphone ; 0,2%
german population 82 million ; 70,000 iphone ; 0,085%
Granted I did not remove the people less likely to have an iphone (pop distribution is different in Japan/US/germany) but yes, japan despite being an heavy mobile phone user, has a lower penetration for iphone than any other. If Despite what appleinsider may say, if iphone was a sucess, sale penetration in the population would be higher. It is discutable whether it is a flop or not, but it certainly isn't a sucess. And we are not seeing the latest sale....
because once she is being the bar and "continue" to leave DNA evidence everywhere wioth new crime, it quickly turns out that it can't be her even if she has no alibi for the first crime. Then reasonable doubt, testing of the swab fall in.
Now what would be scary but unlikely, is that the bad swab would be only a single batch OR the error is caught but not communicated by the labor to the prosecution/defense.
I have to ask because i don't know. If some secret document from the CIA was leaked onto wikileaks, how quick and how hard would the CIA ask for a retraction ? Do we know ? Did this happen ?
Here around they can even drive AGAINST the traffic on the wrong lane or burn red lights or stops, as long as they have both lights on and the siren (aka: a life is in danger). Same for fire department and police. Normal driver DO NOT HAVE such exception. They have to: 1) respect the maximum speed limit of the road and 2) respect the maximum speed limit for the weather.
So even if a road is limited to 90 kmh , but it is raining or worst snowing, they have to reduce their own speed to the speed limit given by the road authority for snow weather, which might be 40 kmh even if the real speed limit is 90 kmh.
You will get ticketed and in trouble if you go over the road speed limit *OR* if you go over the "weather" speed limit.

allergy as far as I remember are linked to basophil , a type of leucocyte.

YMMV but usually you can use a single experiment to disprove an hypothese.

You will get ticketed and in trouble if you go over the road speed limit *OR* if you go over the "weather" speed limit.
So de facto I think the GP did not get it right.
