I don't think that he means this should be the only way you get your food, but that if asked any meat eater should be prepared to kill their own food at least once. I've butchered a cow I raised from a calf, and well, it really changes the whole eating process. You realize that a living thing had to die so you could eat it. It should make you want to not let that death be wasted, or change your eating habits. It's pretty hypocritical for someone who regularly eats meat from a store, but is unable to look the creature in the eye before killing it for the meat.
I attended Rose, and one nice thing about a no (it's actually very very small) is that all the profs teach classes and have office hours. Most profs had office hours for the better part of 40-50 hours a week except for about 10-15 hours of classes. That, the laptops, and the required ROTC for the first year were the biggest differences between it and any other schools, I've seen.
It's basically a month filled with vacations for those in Europe. I don't know why this is but it seems to make as much sense as our spreading them out over the year. Thier businesses run on a skeleton staff or just close for most of the month, from what I've heard. Any industry that is closly related to Europe will probably want to run a little light this month. Finance also seems to take a vacation during the month, I don't know of other regions or industries.
The did it because coffee at 190 can be sold for an extra hour or something, than coffee at 160. This generated a certain additional profit at each store which added up to a significant amount over the entire company. They should have know about the burn risk and either didn't or didn't care, which tends to infuriate juries and leads to large judgements against companies that squeeze a few cents out of something at great risk to others, who will have to bear the full cost of the actions. Oddly enough this fits back in with the topic.
I think an average electic fence is something like 40,000 V, happily they are in the micro amps and really do no damage, but they can sting a good one.
Stand on a piece of ply wood, keep your free arm at your side, and wear linesman's gloves, use insulated tools, and have a strong friend with a two by four ready to whack you a good one out of contact if you contact anything. On second thought call an electrician, that is what they are trained to do.
At $2500 per box, which might be a little high, that's a quarter billion in revenue on a month and a half of pre-orders. No where near Dell numbers yet, (PC revenues are around $130 billion/yr) but it would probably move the workstation market a few points, which marketing notwithstanding is what these are much closer to in function and price.
Yes, but rolled up into the economic costs are all sorts of costs that would be reported as profits to the tax authorities and investors. Cost of capital is the biggest, but not the only economic cost. The clearest example is a business man whose business generates $100,000 in "profits" but he does not pay himself a salary, he keeps the profits. If he could earn $100,000 by working for someone else, he is actually generating economic losses. A business could be quite profitable, by the methods we measure it, and never generate any economic profits. Of course, local phone companies have market or pricing power and as a result do generate economic profits.
What's wrong with a global network that is expanding to the rest of the solar system within the next year. I think starbuck's managment thinks that investors buy their stock based on the number of stores they can see at any given time. Perhaps they are correct in that assumption. Our town of 25,000 just got two and they are across the street from each other. They are adding a third in two months.
The problem in California was that their "market" was set up in a really bad way. The set the price for everyone based on the final bidder's bid. The reason that there was constant "maintenance" work being done was pretty simple as long as the down firm rotated and the down firm could make money by shutting down prices remained very high. There is an excellent, if a little simplistic, example of this market on Prof. Krugman's page. Whatever you think of his politics, his economic thought is generally spot on. Most of the problem keyed off of the drought in the Northwest, and rules that changed that required that certain levels of water run through for salmon runs. The dams weren't ready for either change and had to cut power by enough to allow the limited power systems of California the chance to greatly increase prices. I think the big lesson to learn here, is when you set up the rules that will create a market, you shouldn't let the groups that could be the biggest beneficiary of those rules write them without some independant expert checking.
The idea behind dereg was to work like the phone system, have a regulated monopoly that delivers the last mile network, but give a choice to consumers for providing generators. If you could create that market it would work very well, notice how much smaller long distance bills are compared to about any time in the past. The problem is that you generally still only have a single choice in generators, rather than several. Out here we have several generators, but they all sell power to the local power distribution company, who resells it to us at a blended rate. I don't know why we can't pick our power company from the local dam, coal fired plant, a hypothetical startup that provides solar power (clean but slightly higher priced at first) or imported from the surrounding states, but that part of deregulation never seemed to be included in the final working plans. Is billing that much more difficult, since it seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to have many compaies delivering power into the grid, and many consumers taking from the grid. Yeah, it would equalize power generation prices across the country, but it sure seems like a good idea to me.
Experts have been worrying about our power infastructure for at least the better part of a decade. Our world politics prof was tellng us that he could educate a team of 4 or 5 who could take out most of the power and water infastructure in LA or any other major city in one night, with the right places attacked, in 1997.
You've never lived in the country, if you have a well, your water only lasts as long as your pressure tank is full. Your city has a storage tank which probably won't last too long if they don't have a battery back up/generators.
The only professional cert that I've ever heard of that comes close to difficulty the PE is the actuarial exams, because you have to take something like 11 of them, I don't know if they are harder than getting the engineering degree and taking the test but 11 tests over the better part of a decade would really suck.
I think they kept the games development time to a bare minimum, and got distribution thought walmart at a budget price, since the game was less than $20 and there was excellent foot traffic at walmart, it sold well enough to cover all their costs and make a ton of cash. HeadGames probably didn't need cash support after their first game was released.
The scores are ranked, certain questions give points to one or possibly more of the pairs. ie a question about your work habits will give a different level of points into I vs E or N vs S. Then your points are added to get the four letter indication. If you are borderline on one of the pairs, you are likely to get both results when you take the test, stronger indications will almost always get Introverted and Thinking, N and S are borderline and I'm as likely to get one or ther other. Try it with an old paper and pencil test that you grade yourself to see a better indication of how the questions affect your score. I think NT groups and INTJ specifically really dig the internet, I remember an old mac discusion board that had something like 80% INTJs.
I misspoke, it was any building open to the public, if it wasn't your home, you generally couln't smoke there. There were a few bars that preferred to pay the fine nightly because their business generated more profit than the fine cost. Before the final hearing the police got tired of fining them nightly and gave up enforcement from what I can tell.
I would be surprised if Oracle uses any MS software besides the test servers for their Windows version of Oracle's database and other software. This is sort of like if SUN or Apple switched to Linux, Microsoft would only be marginally impacted, if at all.

I always thought the advantage of an engineering school like RIT was that you could play on the football team rather than just watch the team.

I like Ambrosia's Hectorware, if you don't register your share ware, he blows you out of the sky.
Having had a linked card on my folks account since I was 14 or 15, I've always found it odd that a credit card was considered proof of any age.

Wasn't it a chewing gum wrapper. I tried it with a 9V battery circuit once, it didn't work.

On the flip side, I think that the only thing that matters to Bill anymore is ending up higher on the Fobes list at least one notch higher than Larry.
