Yep, the males recommended an 11% lower salary, while the females recommended over 14% lower. Hard to know if that's statistically significant, though...
Wikipedia are so reactionary about "original research" that they frequently throw the baby out with the bathwater, and then call in an airstrike just to be sure.
Sure, the perpetual motion wackos need to be protected against, but the lumping of basic reporting and sourcing in with scientific research is a major problem.
Not to mention that the modern university system was invented in its entirety by the Catholic church to educate its seminarians. Not that Christianity's record is spotless here (Flying Spaghetti Monster) but neither does it discourage intelligence.
Actually, you assumed, and were wrong. From the Microsoft "Do You Qualify for Office Student and Teacher Edition" http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/prodinfo/ students/doyouqualify.mspx/page: "You are still eligible to use this product after you or a member of your household no longer qualifies as an educational user."
And to reply to the grandparent, you also failed to RTFM, and were kind of a jerk about it.
In his 1996(?) book The Road Ahead. It was exactly the same, the recipient would have the choice to not collect if the message was wanted. For example, if it was from a long-lost friend. So it only took nine years to write a paper on this idea which was published by on e of the most famous figures in the technology industry?
They have this fancy new remotely readable chip, but they are still requiring two photographs. This is despite the fact that they now print out the photo digitally, so only one is required. I bet that other photo is sitting in a filing cabinet somewhere, stapled to a random piece of paper, just waiting to be thrown out in fifteen years. Yes, our federal bureaucracy, the ultimate in efficiency!
Everyone who owned a share before now has a share that is worth more. Have the original shares been diluted? Yes. But more shares times the same or slightly increased value means a bigger market capitalization. In no sense is SCO worth less.
What's unbelievable is that it took almost 45 minutes for someone to point this out. Has no-one re-encoded a JPEG and had it turn out like absolute crap? Or converted MP3 to something else? Probably the only thing that saved them is that they were working with uncropped video, and so the block sizes were probably multiples of 8. I would be really curious to see the same test done on minimally compressed video, because then it might mean something (unless, of course, you are encoding DVDs onto CD).
Remember, the problem here is not to program your own mailbox to accept calls, the problem is to program someone *else's* mailbox to accept calls. This is roughly a billion times harder than simply logging into a mailbox with the default password and changing it to a "Yes, I'll accept the charges" recording.
However, your post is also hilarious. I believe you are suggesting that it is possible to remotely program a voicemail system to record and playback the word to the operator. This is difficult, far more difficult than a simple change of the outgoing message. Can you imagine trying to get emacs up and running over a touch tone phone?:)
They sell at full retail (US$40), you can buy it for US$33 at discount stores. I don't know about you, but it wasn't exactly arduous to pick one up when I was at Costco anyway. Of course, I'm also going to fill out the US$10 rebate.
Sorry, but please read the whole contract as well as the court's ruling on the injunction. The work is defined as the typeset pages, not the source documents of the website. However, the court ruled that the typeset pages were the same document as the website. On Page 11 of http://www.ilcd.uscourts.gov/00-2262.pdf the judge says, "It is entirely feasible for one to read the contract and assume this language refers only to the encyclopedia due to the vague definition of Work." Period. If CRC were behaving honorably, they would have quit right there. Since CRC can't tell the difference between a website and a book, what are the odds they are going to survive the digital age? Zip.
The court's ruling basically states that the website and the book are identical, and that a mere change of medium does not constitute a derivative work. The ruling on the injuction says in short, that Eric signed away all rights to the website content, etc.
The brain is really good at piecing together words from dounds. People who are mostly deaf can still follow conversation because human speech is so predictable. If you're expecting to hear "Good teenagers take of their clothes," that's what you'll hear. If you're expecting to hear the original line, you'll hear that instead.
As a small, anecdotal example of how the loop from ears to brain is not quite perfect, try this "verbal illusion." Say the word "ace" over and over again, and it will morph into the word "say". What's really cool is if you keep going, then the word morphs again into... Well, you try it.

These sorts of records are measured with a "flying" start. You get going however you like, but have to be able to sustain the pace with your own power. Towing is just to get started, but no fair being towed to 200 mph and then coasting the 200m!

Since the Federal Reserve is in charge of collecting all the old notes, that agency probably takes the loss. Whether there is a net gain or loss to the US. Gov't is a question open for discussion.
The only reason it restricts itself to only governments and military computers is that the US Gov't doesn't have jurisdiction over crimes that happen to other computers. See the interstate commerce clause in the Constitution.
However, it's a rare computer that isn't involved in some kind of interstate commerce. Probably you're safe if you stick to the.edu domains, but anything else is asking to test a very tricky boundary.
Yeah, I know, people just cannot get it right. The word order is so twisted, so contrary to correct grammar that people can't help themselves. The language processing in the brain is so strong that it takes real effort to hold in mind all the simultaneous errors.
I doubt it. Most people can hear up to 15 kHz, so you'd have to put it above there, and then it would be easy to strip out with a low pass filter. And there aren't any low frequencies that a stereo can put out that a human can't hear or feel. Combine this with MP3, which systematically eliminates frequencies that you are unlikely to notice, and there's little room to put the watermark outside the range of human hearing.
Radio is probably more expensive than streaming, in the long run. Bandwidth is getting so cheap that pretty soon it won't be economical to pay for a spectrum license (both in dollars and FCC hassel) and the tower, broadcast equipment, etc. Just have your server farm and a few big pipes. My big problem is that they got rid of all the individual team web sites and replaced them with an ugly template for every team. Presumably blockading individual teams from streaming the games if they choose is all part of the plan to bring the teams completely within the MLB brand. Sheesh.

MLB even tries to tell you that descriptions of the game are under their copyright, the lying needs to stop.
