You can't have third parties with first past the post voting. It doesn't work. It isn't politics, it's math. Two similar candidates that together have 51%+ of the vote when one alone doesn't will always do better to combine forces, and they always will, unless one of them is being irrational (like Ralph Nader), in which case that candidate becomes a pariah for handing the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush. "A vote for Nader is a vote for Bush" is not a slogan, it's a mathematical fact.
You understand the math, but you suck at game theory. It is true the the two party system will prevail in winner-takes-all system, but that does not mean voting for 3rd party candidate does not have an effect. Your candidate will not win, but by threatening the balance between the two major parties you force the major parties to adopt policies form the 3rd party. For instance the democrats are now afraid to give give the green party too much space because of what happened in 2000, and the republicans are similarly letting Ron Paul be a candidate even though they despise the guy, just to avoid the threat of him running for an independent party stealing a possible win.. They doing that because they are threatened by people willing to vote for a losing candidate.
In other words: By not being a swing voter, either leaning between the two major party or being a swing voter threatening to vote for non major party, you are no threat to the balance and have no consequences on the election in a winner-takes-all election.
Iceland and Greece are vastly different situations. Iceland has a working economy but loaned more money than they had out of the country. Greece does not have a working economy and has loaned more money than they can afford to pay into the country.
That is probably because you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Using distributed compilation you can easily speed up compilation by more than 100x, even though you are "limited" the I/O you originally had available on compile-job issuing machine.
So: No compilation is not I/O bound, it is not even remotely close to being I/O bound.
No, it is Fox News that wants to lose. For an entertainment network, it is much better for the ratings to be in opposition, than be a form of government news channel, so to both show incredible support for the Republicans and ensure they lose, Fox does everything they can to support the candidates, but give extra support to the crazy unelectable candidates, and tries to steer the news narrative in such a way that it appears you need to be crazy to be a Republican candidate.
They had trouble selling in 2011 before the advertisement began and before it was available on most markets. There are no numbers from 2012 yet, post advertisement. I have no idea it things are good or bad, but Lumia is certainly everywhere right now.
1812, the Americans invaded Canada, and in return the Canadians invaded the US and burned down the White House, just as a reminder not to do THAT again.
No, he is talking about real citizens. The side he is on. He is complaining about the bill being first postponed and then rushed through with surprise tactics.
Interesting if true. In case you are wondering; it is not!
The highest minimum wages: 1. Danmark 2. UK 3. Australia 3. Luxembourg 4. Netherlands 5. Ireland 6. Belgium 7. France 8. New Zealand 9. Canada 10. San Marino 11. Switzerland 12. USA
Of these countries only number 5 and 12 have serious problem with the financial crisis. Denmarks biggest problem is that the GDP isn't growing very fast, but when you have on of the highest GDPs in the world it will take a long time of low growth before it will knock it out of the top 1% club of countries.
If you were to buy Disney at todays price, you would need to use up your assets or gain liabilities to the tune of $70B. In exchange for that, you would get $72B in assets from Disney, and inherit $35B in liabilities. Your net assets just went down $33B.
The value of a company is its assets minus its liabilities. So if Disney has liabilities of $35 billion and is worth $72 billion then it would be worth $107 billion without liabilities. So a buyer gains $107 billion of value and $35 billion of debt (unless they manage to move the debt to another company).
So, you most certainly DO buy a company to 'make the money back', in the form of profits
Nope. You still don't get it.
You only need to earn back whatever you paid more than the purchased company's value. And yes you often do end up paying more than it is worth because the price can go up when the market senses a takeover, but this surcharge has nothing to do with how much the purchase costs. The actual value is just a transfer from one investment to another. The purchaser is moving their investment from an assortment of other investments to an investment in the company they take over, but it is still an investment and the money is never lost unless it is a bad investment.
Whaaa? The continents of Asia and North America say otherwise...
Look at a globe not a badly misshapen map. The northern areas only look big on a flat map, they are in reality much much smaller because the circumference of the Earth is much smaller in the North.
Fertile land doesn't just suddenly spring up under rainfall. Farmland is the result of thousands of years of river flows, lake beds, animal and plant decay and sediment.
Correct and then Wrong
Fertile land doesn't just suddenly spring up under rainfall. It takes a couple of decades of intensive work. Land reclamation has been done. The reason there are no deserts and swamps in Europe is because we have covered most of them with fertile soil and cultivated them, and reshaped the land that made them unfertile in the first place.
Still millions will die in the decades it takes to cultivate new farmland.
Walt DIsney alone is worth 70 billions dollars. No one is going to buy it out unless they can make that money back.
Ehm.. I don't think you understand how money works. The money a company has available is how much they are worth. If they become more valuable, they have more money. So when a company buys another company they don't need to "make that money back" unless they paid more than it was worth.
So anyone can buy Disney if they are more valuable than 70 billion dollars, and they truly believe Disney is worth 70 billion or more for their company.
No, it just says that it won't support SOPA if it does such a thing. Then again, only IT expert could testify to SOPA having those consequences, and without expert testimonials, they could easily sign the SOPA and still claim ignorance by stating: That is not the intended purpose of SOPA - Just like congress does.
Sure, because there was a charismatic Democrat in the White House. The "Bulletin of the Chemists" is a purely political organization that has always pushed a moderate Leftist agenda
Interesting theory, but how do you explain that they considered the world safer under George Bush Senior, but rapidly deteriorating under Bill Clinton? The first could be a lucky coincidence with the fall of the wall and the USSR (revolutions in nuclear-capable nations are always such a safe situation), but then again not, and please explain 1992-2000?
Consensus is that DPRK/Iran may (!) have enough material to build a single nuclear bomb (if at all) in the near future.
Consensus? It is fact that North Korea has already had nuclear tests. They not only have enough nuclear material, they have actual bombs. They also have long range missiles, but has not yet demonstrated intercontinental missile capability (I think so far they have overshoot Hawaii, and could probably hit Alaska as well).
Iran is still working on distilling bomb-material, though of course, officially for their nuclear power plants.
Did you bother reading what I said? The screen is smaller than I said I wanted, it weighs more than I said I wanted, and it is more than twice as thick as the laptop I'm typing this on right now.
Did you bother to check out the ThinkPad X220? You asked for 13" it is 12", you asked for 3lbs, it weighs 3.5lbs. It is obviously what you are looking for! only it actually exists and is not just a fantasy! The only problem with it, is that is pretty expensive, but that kind of awesomeness does not come cheaply.
No, they realized people are getting more and more retarded, so the dumbing down they did in 4th edition is no longer is no longer enough, they need to dumb it down even more. Or as they call dumbing down at their office: Make it more inclusive
Also retards are more likely to just 'upgrade' even if the new version is another downgrade.
Slavery is like sex. It's perfectly fine if you've given informed consent,
That is not slavery, it is servitude, and it is not perfectly fine in ANY way. Look it up. Servitude and slavery are closely related, but neither are good in any way.
There are reason contract laws today prohibit selling yourself for one time offers.
Not only I find hard to believe that this "EU law" exists but I'm not aware of ANY EU country that has a local law that either forces the providers to sell unlocked phones or forces them to unlock the phones for free without further qualification. Wikipedia seems to be agree with me as well.
You should take faith in WP alone, but now that you started, where on earth did you look?
Did you try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock ? The laws are bit different between the countries, and the list is outdated from current regulation, but there are several examples in the list of just that what you find very hard believe.You should start believing more.
Anyway you don't need your carrier. Most GSM phones can be unlocked at the phone store for a small fee (10€ or less), which is perfectly legal, since it is your phone, you can do with it what you want. From WP there is wonderful story about UK carriers trying to superglue the SIM-cards to the phone to circumvent easy unlocking, but I am not sure how true that is.
Makes sense to me too. Just means you can't switch whenever you feel like it.
I don't think you understand. You CAN switch whenever you feel like it, but you might have to keep paying the old service minimum fee until the contract runs out, but the phone can always be changed to a different service.
Selling locked phones might be the norm, but unlocking them should be perfectly legal if Portugal follows EU law (which I assume they do). In fact you can unlock GSM phones yourself if you know how.
Sorry, there was a sentence error in the above. To make it more clear: Doctors will usually diagnose themselves much more optimistically than the unbiased diagnose they would give others.
Everybody has a cognitive bias, which makes even our logic prone to be overly optimistic judgements about ourselves or our loved ones. (unless we are depressed in which case the bias is reversed)l
