so it's more probable that two guys need 1 guy at least to look over them and that guy gets more money, of course.
your figures per person seem a bit lowish, so I wouldn't be surprised if the total money was in 2 million+ range easily. you have to count in the meetings spent for discussing if even to do it too and the time billed from people deciding if they get money this month or that month.
well, only if the person in question has access to food and keeps eating it.
on the other hand, if she had a faulty digestive system before and then kept just eating the same way after fixing it, it's not that hard to conceive that she gained weight.
and god forbid it being her fault of course. it's never the fatties fault that the fattie keeps eating and eating and eating and doesn't count the calories or how many cokes there can be in a day..
actually you can.. look at thailand. record low unemployment(0.5%), though they wouldn't want you to ask how many people are earning under minimum wage( under like 8 bucks/day).
the problem with Greece is that they weren't doing productive work in their high years and the governments just bought happiness with borrowing and the greeks themselves were pretty happy with just taking in benefits cheques. their wages, benefits and amount of corruption in getting said benefits was literally through the unfinished(For tax purposes) roofs. they weren't paying taxes but were getting record amounts of money.
that and the stupidly big military that's there to "defend them from turkey", so a huge military % spending to defend them from a fucking NATO ally of theirs. fucking brilliant(it's a jobs program if you didn't get it earlier).
then they blame germany, who actually is doing industrial production whilst they're just sitting on their fat fucking asses drinking.
what you CAN'T do is to starve them into finding non-existing community jobs, like community police gigs and such, jobs that had to be cut for spending too much money, so that they could avoid bankruptcy and could keep the country going.
then they were stupid enough to believe a young fellow who just claims he will "take the fight back".. as if the fight wasn't before that on the shoulders of other european nations. fucking finland was already paying for the mistakes of the greeks by giving cheap money to them and finland isn't exactly in rich condition either.
if the new prime minister does like he promised before elections, and that's what the greeks elected him for, then greek banks are going to be fucked in mere months, -wiping the money of the poor folks mind you-, and the state will be unable to pay police, hospitals or anything and will have to revert to creating their own currency - their own currency which will end up with hyperinflation and be totally unusable to be used for buying any crucial imports.
well if you could get paid perpetually for doing that, why not?
it's not like there's a great need for a new commenting system. if the current one was so bad they could just hook up whatever is the hottest multi sso comment system of the day.
running clouds in basement would put you over the limit.
like, what was the poster thinking and skipping over even a cursory glance of the articles? what purpose would it serve anyhow? unlimited free electricity in a corruption rife country? only if you steal it. I guess a few people do it like that already...
GIVING PEOPLE FREE MONEY is the whole fucking reason greece is in the dire straits it is(effective 4 day workweek, too much public servants, no private industry, too big military just sitting on it's ass serving no purpose whatsoever, people getting certified as being blind for benefits and continuing to work as a taxi driver and all that) and the populistic new government is very soon going to be very non popular after it stops giving free stuff after it runs out of money. it's like entire party just ignored how the world runs and got elected into power, they're acting like they're fucking venezuela, so really it would be better if they made an example of themselves, got out of the euro and started printing their own money no other country gave a fuck about thus leading to hyperinflation and total fuckage of all their money. they're like little kids when it comes to economy and really seem to think(majority anyways) that they can just stop saving money(austerity) by decision, as if their money came from a magical source. the whole point of the austerity measures is to stop the shit hitting the fan and to keep their police, hospitals and other public services operational enough to keep the country running...
so what you're going to do? many questions are when.. on the scale of 1000 year.
though, why is nobody snickering at it being al gores idea to have a satellite beaming back pictures of the earth? I mean come on, when was the first camera satellite launched?
and a 80 dollar cellphone blows away rasp1 easy, has inbuilt screen, camera, cellular and wifi. what it lacks is GPIO and raspberry GPIO usability is kind of meh, you're still better off tying it with a 16mhz atmel to run your 3d printers steppers(bbb being a _lot_ better in this regard). not that it matters since 99% raspberry pi's are just used to try out linux.
where raspberry is sort of good is that you get ethernet for pretty cheap, as arduino ethernet shields tend to be expensive or other cheap stickmedia computers tend to not have it(though some android tv boxes do have it)
for a media box there's much better out of the box suited stuff in the 50+ range (which raspberry easily gets to if you count stuff like a remote control of some sort, wifi dongle and what have you..).
but really why people go with raspberry is the PERCEIVED OPENNESS of it, while in fact raspberry is just a shell project of broadcomm, by broadcomm people, to sell broadcomm chips(whilst the same people on the raspberry side are lobbying). so open source people flock to it for no really good reason and 99% of the projects that use it to run some hardware or such could just as well have been done with an arduino clone or two("real" arduino costs almost as much as a raspberry though so the bang per buck isn't too bad there
what it really gets down to is this: I BBB clones are hitting the market. arduino clones are on the market. raspberry pi? one clonemaker tried and now can't buy chips. chips that don't have open source drivers too, mind you.
important to who and why and why is it more important than the other open(even all gpl even) phone projects? it's only an important project for mozilla and let's face it nobody of the users asked for it. if there's anything I want from mozilla it's another phoenix now that they've fucked around with firefox enough.
nobody really cares about it. I'm aware of it, as I'm a mobile developer and smartphone "professional" going back more than 10 years, but heck, but most of the mobile developers I know don't even know it exists. it's basically just as obscure as say openmoko neo 1973 to most it professionals and hobbyists.
that and the users even being unaware of what it runs, it being in the segment it is in. try to build brand with that...
well were it open enough then it wouldn't be a big problem to port over dalvik for some android action. it's probably possible. with the current one as well.
besides, the phone HAS apps. it's just that they decided to focus more on HOMESCREEN WIDGETS.
the fucking "cards" are HOMESCREEN WIDGETS on limited home screen. limited, how so? their shape and positions are limited, so the copped out. cheaper and faster to make the home screen like that
besides all that, you can get pretty decent android phones for sub 100$ now with specs about the same - and you get to run android apps AND you get to run custom homescreens AND you get to read your news, control your music playback and everything else from the homescreen if you really want to, except you get more control over how the homescreens are laid out(you could make one of the homescreen pages a "music" page, one a "news" page and so forth).
besides, if the cards concept as they call it is any good you'll have it in android next week. fuck, the material design guidelines are pretty much "material" cards too(that's the new android recommended ui paradigmschimshshit). I wouldn't be so as surprised to go to android market today and finding some homescreen replacement or another that does the same thing.
furthermore, you can make android apps in qml/qt as well! in fact, it's much less cumbersome method than doind native android(you need to do some android shims only for very few native api's that most apps don't need anyways and it's outweighted by the ease of integrating c++ code into your qt/qml projects vs. native android using ndk).
in short, the ubuntu guys are putting a lot of spindoctoring and this is a completely different much cheaper to achieve cop out than the original ubuntu phone and has almost nothing to do with the original ubuntu phone concept, which at least had the aspect of running desktop ubuntu if you wanted when connected to something! by the way, you can get ubuntu for android on any friggin android phone! or debian for android as well for that matter!
the woman would have called regular taxi service and would have received the service from a person who was not as likely to be a rapist because of the more strict background checks.
actually I'm pretty sure ubers rating system is more of a background check.. it's India we're talking about anyways and well.. the statistics for that stuff in India/Asia portray a pretty grimm picture.
funny advice considering that actually samsung has been one of the best if not the best major brand in bringing prompt updates to their semi recent phones (your carrier might never roll them out with their shit but you could still flash 'em).
your last gen phones turn off wifi when in sleep if they last over a week(there's an option for that).
what keeps data connected phones burning battery is being data connected, which leads to phones having stuff running, updating the news, weather and all that shit doesn't come free. lots of stuff that doesn't get waken up if there is no data connection.
so, easiest is to just turn off data when you're not using it. of course you can't then receive skype, gtalk or whatever voip calls or instant messaging on it.....
why is coffee script then less readable? it's not training wheels, it's something else.
it's more like blocking the handlebars from going one way, locking the seat to super low position and removing one of the pedals and saying that makes it easier to instruct new bicyclists.
however, finding interesting successful artists is pretty hard actually.
though, if the artist is bringing nothing to the table then perhaps he should just get 1%. if all the music is label arranged and the label arranges the producers, composers etc then why wouldn't the label be the one getting the profits..
what part of not communicating that you were served the NSL you don't understand?
first amendment doesn't count because: NATIONAL SECURITY.
look, it's really quite simple, the original intent of the order includes that you don't use childish loopholes, so you can't just use morse code to communicate or winks while giving your press presentation or whatever to signal otherwise.
ask the congress or whoever to fire the fuckers.
that they would tell people to not publish a canary sounds a bit fucked up though, as there's nothing saying so - anyone can say that they don't work in area 51. however in such case they wouldn't be able to publish the change while adhering to the (possible) order.
some large companies have spent significant time to fight them in (secret) courts.
so it's just a delay for them if you intend to stay in business. why not a normal warrant? for that you have to be specific and have an actual criminal investigation going on..
