Ironically, as a musician or band, you won't get a major label offer until you are successful enough to attract the attention of a label. That means you're making enough money that they could make money off of you. So at that point, why sign? If you're not that successful yet, no one will offer you a deal anyhow, so it's not even a problem for you. Your choices in summary: 1. sign and get slightly better promotion for a huge reduction in your personal profit 2. don't sign, get the promotion your music warrants on its own and keep all your own profits
If you're all that good, you're gonna make way more money at #2. If you're terrible and somehow you get a big advance because of #1, believe me, the label will find a way to claw that money back from you.
"5 minutes of break during sedentary work" is a good idea, but how often do we need 5 min breaks before the ill effects fo being "too sedentary" kick in?
I got news for you, except for the test cities noted, practically every big US city is NOT bike friendly in the same ways as Houston. If harassing bike commuters was a felony, maybe some of this would change.
This is like getting a patent on selling yesterday's newspaper when you can already get them for free at the same place that the patent alleges it will sell them.
... we won't run out, because more and more of the addresses in use will also become available, and as ipv6 uptake accelerates, ipv4 uptake will dramatically decelerate, and it will stop just shy of actually running out.
This is not the same as virtual tractors sold for real dollars. In farmville, if you play the game it earns you points you can use to buy a tractor. This would be like saying that more shields were sold in Zelda for NES than were ever sold in real life, and that this fact somehow made Zelda a great game. (Zelda is great for other reasons)
A design document tells you why. Using comments as your design document is like writing on each part of the car a reason why that particular part is there. Sure, it's a bit useful, but wouldn't it be easier to just see the design of a piston without having to take the engine apart?
I would use anything that is different from the main system's file system. I'd something weird whacks the filesystem 1, hopefully then because filesystem 2 is diffferen. It would not be affected and you'd buy some additional time to do a recovery.
The point is that we won't get congress or etc. to split them up without having people really get mad and the only way to get people mad enough to care may be this email thing.
The really annoying part is trying to get a phone that actually is any good. Because of spotty coverage, different phones on each carrier, etc. it is remarkably difficult to figure out which phone actually works the best just for "making calls" by any absolute measurement, which gives makers a lot more leeway on quality (since they don't really have to compete against any standard).
Obviously Chase meant the top "non-embarassing to a big company" charities. Can you imagine if Chase had to donate $1M to the Marijuana Policy Project? I'm sure the board freaked out at the thought of "chase" and "MJ" being in the same sentence and said, "do whatever is necessary to make sure we don't get that association."
It's called a nash equilibrium, and what it means in a nutshell is that no one's single strategy can beat anyone else's provided the strategies are fixed (i.e. a fighter cannot take on the attributes of a Mage). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium

If Wal-Mart threw its weight behind beating Amazon, Wal-Mart would tear Amazon's arms off like an angry wookie. As many of their competitors have learned, it's best just to let the wookie win.

I can't wait for the state of the union, when the president proclaims that our new greatest priority is to "do the Dew".

Eternal fame and fortune await the first of us to privately assemble, launch, orbit the earth at least once, and return safely.
it works on people, so long as they're already dead. Why does this matter? Because now I can get the Star Trek space-burial I always wanted!
Yeah, if you get hit by a car when you're on a bike, you should be a vegetable for life. That's how we did it in my day!
Go get it.

Maybe we should just leave all the adult stuff, warez, etc. on the old Internet, and just use the new one for "not that".

Imagine the ungodly porn that will be developed for this technology... eeew!

We're gonna aim the asteroid at "that really dirty country that no one likes... you know the one I mean."
I think it's a big studio viral hoax.
Sigh. Your tax dollars hard at work.

"After Microsoft drove a dump truck full of money up to Mozilla headquarters..."
There, fixed that for you.
