Er, that's beta testing. Not offering it for free. Whenever they feel like it, the beta will be closed down and you won't be able to develop using those beta-level tools.
So, let me get this straight, the current level of CO2 output is equal to 17 THOUSAND volcanoes every year.
If this were true, where are the effects? Come ON man, that's a HUGE amount of CO2 to be putting into the atmosphere and we've got no noticeable effects?
17 thousand volcanoes! How can you read that figure without any kind of skepticism?
That's funny. Here I thought someone with no life outside of work, no time for friends and family, slave to a tiny beeping box, that was a looser.
People with too much ambition is what ruined this business. People who pull of miracles have trained the bosses to expect miracles. People who took the extra step to have a beeper instead of hiring a night operator.
Maybe they're working on a way to reduce the costs of making antimatter?
The warhead doesn't give off any radiation, and the only upkeep is to make sure the containment field equipment is maintained. Also, far less mass is neeeded for the same effect, so you can use much smaller rockets. Looks like a great replacement for the nukes we're using now.
"For example, lets say I own a computer repair shop, and I buy 20 network cards. Do I pay tax on them?"
Yes.
"How about if I combine those network cards with some other parts and build computer workstations, which I sell to the public for $1k. Do they pay tax on that instead?"
Actually, they pay tax when they buy it also.
"But what if I sell the parts for $800, and add $200 worth of services. Do they pay tax on both parts and services, or one or the other?"
Ok, this should clear things up. Every time you hand someone a bill, you add the sales tax to it. So your bill for 1000$ will have a tax that covers it all.
What is I use ten of those network cards in my business. Do I have to pay tax on that now?
You already paid tax on them when you bought them.
"More fun -- lets say, instead of selling you a car at $25k with $10k in interest on the loan, I'll sell you a car for $15k with $20k interest on the loan. Sounds good, doesn't it? A nat'l sales tax won't tax loans now, will it? With the high rates estimated for a nat'l sales tax, there will be an excellent incentive to evasion."
I pay the same tax on on a car no matter how much I pay for it though a loan. So, you pay tax on the car when you buy it, and you take out the loan from bank to pay it.
Will bank loans be taxed? Dunno. I suppose you can say you're paying for money, but the government doesn't seem to be big on taxing bank loans.
These concepts are not hard. They're the opposite of hard, easy.
Form a union with the other IT worker. Lock down all IT equipment. Of course, try not to let patients die in the process.
Demand from management to either get a consultant in, or a 3rd person who has experence in what you need to do. If you get that third person, don't forget to add him to the union.
You need to consider that computer animation is still struggling to produce realistic people, and Toy story had already been done.
Incects were the next obvious choice. And did you even see both movies? 'A Bug's Life' is not only the weakest of Pixar's offerings, but a rip off of an existing story.
Antz is quite good, a solid and engrossing story.
I'm a fan of CG movies because they take so long to set up and render, so the scripts and scenes are gone over with a fine tooth comb. You may wish "Shark's Tale" flops, but the odds are in favor of it doing well.
Early adopters? Solar panels have been out in the market for 30 years!
It's simply not that good a technology. I laughed at the chart in the article, comparing it to a 30 year investment. I'd say they'll last 20, but 30? Who knows?
Slashdot Mirror
Because he's the only one who will do things that are important to me. He is my representive in those issues.
I do it to reduce noise.
More than that. You'll need to buy cache memory for it.
How the heck am I supposed to backup 500 GB of data? Set up another raid and copy it over?
You still need a power supply and case.
You know employers who can't find people with the right skills?
Like what?
Solar cells tend to be paired with batteries.
USED to let you get maximum buying power and save money.
If you haven't heard, Canada has stopped large shipments of drugs back to the US. The demand was driving the price up in Canada.
The US? Last time I checked, suicide bombers aren't really used in most armies.
All tremble before the unstoppable might of the French suicide bombers!
Frankly, the suicide bomb is a horrible weapon is a war (As in, horribly ineffective), peacetime is when it works best.
(blink)
Why didn't I think of that?
Er, that's beta testing. Not offering it for free. Whenever they feel like it, the beta will be closed down and you won't be able to develop using those beta-level tools.
Man, that sounds like the attitude people have against cartoons. Whoops! I mean, "Anime".

You have X dollars. Do you go after the polutants that you can't see or smell, or the ones you can?
That's funny. Here I thought someone with no life outside of work, no time for friends and family, slave to a tiny beeping box, that was a looser.

Condering that the Israelis can go into Palestinian area and wipe out every man, woman and child, and haven't.
How is this a "War for survival" if the Israelis aren't slaughtering Palistinians wholesale?

Really? So, the ability to destroy all life on the planet didn't make you unconfortable?
Because walls make very poor windmills?
Hell, anyone who works in networking at compusa would of told you not to get a LinkSys. ;)
When I worked at CompUSA it was great. I'd walk over to any of the Centrino laptops and look up some product spec on the internet.
I suspect either you had a cheap wireless hub, or someone left the microwave door open.
