I used to run a bike shop. Every time I would sell a bike, I would make sure the customer had a good discussion about why they should buy a $30 helmet. The $30 helmet was usually less than 10% of the bike purchase. When they would say "It's not comfortable", I would ask them what their head is worth. Maybe not to them, but to their family. If they had brain damage, what would their life be like? Could they still work? What would happen to their family if they couldn't? Once I sold a bike, and a helmet, to a bright kid who had a major head injury from a car accident. He had been a bright engineering student, after the accident he lived at home with his parents. He applied once for a job, but did very poorly on the math test (~ sixth grade skill level) we gave prospective employees. Head trauma can really screw up your life, so don't take the chance.
I've been in a number of bike accidents, one of which caused a concussion and an overnight hospital stay. No helmet. I've had some where I hit my head, and cracked my helmet, with no head trauma. If had more where I scratched my helmet, with no problems.
The rule with my family is the same as the rules at a triathlon: if you are touching your bike, you MUST have a helmet on.
The company in Finland, Valmet Automotive, currently builds the Boxster and the Cayman for Porsche. If you want to build a sports car, but don't have a factory to build it with, Valmet is probably a good option.
Buying an antiquated former "Big Three" factory is a giant waste of money. Example: the former Chrysler Engine Plant in Kenosha, WI is going to cost $13 MIL in environmental clean-up. At least that's what they're estimating right now. Who's going to pay for that? The State of WI and the federal government.
"Twain planned to republish every one of his works the moment it went out of copyright with one-third more content, hoping that availability of such 'premium' version will make prints based on the out-of-copyright version less desirable on the market."
So George Lucas didn't come up with this first. Not that it makes it ok.
My wife does molecular and cytogenetic testing. This was her reaction:
"Over reaction. Yes the state labs keep blood spots...I don't know when anyone would ever want to go back and get a sample with someone's name on it unless they were working on a gene that is on the newborn screening panel. They legally can not use genetic testing to prevent you from getting a job or insurance..and who would. It would take more time and money than it's worth to get that information from a newborn screening card. Everyone is told about newborn screening and everyone has the opportunity to decline. It's a matter of whether you are actually paying attention to what is happening with your child. If you don't understand you have a responsibility to speak up. Newborn screening is important...research on deidentified samples is important. No one is out to get you. No one has the time or energy to get you. Life is not CSI."
Sure, let's return to the 1960s, when companies were dumping raw sewage and industrial waste into lakes, rivers, and streams. Let's overfish the oceans, because we're hungry right now. Screw our children and those who come after us. My happiness is the only thing that matters.
That's fine for the old method of TV advertising, the 30 second commercial. However, companies are getting wise to the impact product placement can have. See: "Chuck" and Five Dollar Footlong Mondays.
I will sit through 30 second advertising breaks, like on-demand service or Hulu, however.
VERY rarely do I watch live TV. Mostly, I TiVO everything, and fast forward through the commercials(I know advertisers don't want to hear that). I'm guessing I'm not alone and, contrary to Nielsen's thinking, we probably represent a statistically significant group.
2. Technically, this isn't new. As people said before, there is a place on the Wisconsin Income Tax form where we are supposed to self-report all purchases made out of state(including mail order, online, etc.).
3. I really don't mind.
I buy all of my music from iTunes. I've never bought a whole album online. So, the $.05 cents per download(or soon to be $.04 or $.06 with the new $.69/$1.29 pricing) is still better than the $.71+ if I had to buy the whole cd from the local brick and mortar store.
How would this affect places like Netflix, where I pay a monthly subscription fee to stream movies? Do I pay sales tax on the $8.99? That's still much better than the $.16 I pay at the local video store for EACH movie.
In the grand scheme of things, I still come out ahead. The state still loses out on some amount of revenue, though I'm a tiny bit poorer than if this tax levy hadn't been passed.
I work with the engineers who built the TWO drill heads(UW Physical Sciences Lab). The one in your picture is the Firn drill, which "drills" (really melts) it's way through the first 50 feet of snow. The cooler drill is the enhanced hot water drill, which uses hot water to blast through the ice to a depth of 2,400 meters. The reason for two separate drills is the hot water drill isn't efficient at going through the firn layer, as the water seeps away. Also, having two drills greatly reduces drilling time because the firn drill can start another hole while the hot water drill is drilling through the ice.
To learn more about the drills, the Digital Optical Modules(DOM), they detect the neutrinos(most were also built at PSL), see this page.
Something tells me that he isn't going to comment here, as, I'm sure, all such comments would be admissable. It's fine to talk about other people's cases, but prudent to be quiet about your own.
There used to be shows like that. They were called "Call for Help" and "The Screen Savers"(and just about any other show) on TechTV. However, there wasn't enough money in that for advertisers, so Comcast came in and turned it into a channel with "Cheaters" and "Cops"(now called G4).
The resolution is the same as "standard" 480P projectors. However, "standard" 480P projectors are 2.5 to 5x more expensive, if Microvision can hit the $200 price point.
Disease gene discovery is a VERY difficult process. Even if they find "one", a SMALL percentage(sometimes less than 2%) of the people who are affected may have the gene. Conversely, just because you may have the gene, doesn't mean it will manifest itself(see: penetrance).
The other thing is you may not be the only person affected by it. Your children may also have the dominant gene or be carriers(recessive diseases).
This is not something that any person can just look at and make any kind of probable predictions. You'd be better off predicting the weather. For next week.
Did you read the article and the filing? What SCO wants to do is DEPOSE PJ for things she's said, and that she is mis-representing herself as not being employed by IBM. She is not being sued or are any other legal proceedings being brought against her by SCO. SCO's lawyers just want to ask her some questions.
While she won't discuss the particulars of the subpoena relating to her deposition, she won't be gagged. In fact she said: "I can say this: SCO in its wisdom has just guaranteed that the judges in SCO v. IBM and SCO v. Novell will have to read Groklaw. So, welcome Judge Kimball. Welcome, Judge Wells. We've enjoyed very much learning about the law by watching you at work. SCO told you something that isn't true." A rather cavalier attitude.
Having been a manager of sales people, the response to "If you want more money, sell more high commission items" is:
"I quit".
I've seen it done, and, unfortunately, did it myself, once. And my best salesman quit.
People determine their value on what they get paid. If they are valuable to your company(high dollar sale people), pay them more to keep them. Don't force them to make it up in more sales. Someone else will pay them the base they're looking for, in addition to the commission. I'd rather pay one person who has great sales 10% more each year, than two people who are little more than warm bodies taking up space.
The CC stores I've been in have lots of empty shelves, especially in the home audio area. The center area is mostly CDs and DVDs. They had a decent selection of TVs, which, supposedly, are low margin items, so they're not going to be much help in keeping CC profitable.
It probably could be considered obstruction if you just threw it away. However, intentionally not releasing the information, like the author did, is definitely obstruction.
The FBI weren't too concerned about someone who said no to them, so why would they be concerned about someone who just ignored them? It probably depends on how big of fish they're trying to fry.

Exactly. Whether or not global climate change is happening, we should try to "leave no trace behind" pollution-wise.

Just in case, let's send Schwarzenegger to investigate.

Mac Book? That's a stupid name. Nobody would buy a notebook called a Mac Book.
Powerbook, that's a name people would like!
Will be a thing of the past.
This will also be handy for spying on cheating significant others/spouses, teenagers, slacker employees, etc.
Will it be able to tell you where it is when you lose it?
