HP's latest 10Q indicates that a bit more than 1/2 of their profit comes from the printing and imaging division. All 5 other divisions are profitable. For your statement about HP not being profitable if the Inkjet ink weren't so expensive to be true, the net losses on all printers and laser toner would have to be stupendous. Not likely. On the other hand, the printing and imaging division appears to have a much higher profit margin than the other divisions.
"The left wants a press that insists on facts, while the right wants an even presentation of partisan versions of reality
Generally, you're wrong. The left wants to hear what they already believe, no matter how fantastic. The right wants to hear what they already believe, no matter how fantanstic. Moderates want to hear both sides, often so that they can use the confusion as an excuse not to make a decision. Only the ignorant (I'm not being critical here) want to hear the truth (where it's well established) or both sides (where there's no established truth). The ignorant have the most to gain.
If you are using the concept of "volume" to do your calculations, you've missed the idea entirely. The elevator is essentially a pencil sticking through a sphere in the most densely crossed region of LEO (above the equator). Each satellite lives (roughly) on the surface of its own sphere. If there are 300 such satellites with a panel spread of 10 feet crossing once an hour, There will be an intersection at least every 4000x5280/(300x10) = 7000 hours: once a year. (4000 is the number of miles within 30 degrees of the equator.) In LEO, velocity is about 16000 mph. At most one of the two (satellite, elevator) can be expected to survive any collision.
Solving your own problems is good, but you have to be aware that because this technique is not systematic, it may leave important gaps in your knowledge. Be aware of those gaps and fill them when it's appropriate to do so.
News is precisely what this is. By the time it's become an established fact or established medical practice, it's long since stopped being news. Even by the time it's been replicated and published in the appropriate journal, it's fading from the news scene, although each new publication is a separate news item. The root of the word "news" is "new".
Your opinion is self-contradictory. The drug would allow you to control yourself for a brief period, probably even commit suicide if that's what you wanted. You would have an improved chance to reach a state where the drug would not be required. Without the drug, you would be at the mercy of those taking care of you, with nothing but your "living will" document to protect you.
It seems as if all wart cures (except the duct tape cure) are based upon the principle that if you kill all the flesh that the cure comes in contact with, you'll cure the wart. Your nitric acid cure falls in that category.
H2O2 is more selective; this sounds like an excellent approach.
You may be able to improve things by improving your nutrition and using a vitamin-enriched skin lotion. (Proceed with care!) The better your overall condition, the more reserves your body will have to fight the infection and replace scar tissue with normal tissue.
I've thought of this idea of "benching" old drugs, but how do you prevent "third world" countries from continuing to produce penicillin? A few years ago, when I visited Tijuana occasionally, penicillin was quite popular as a legal over-the-counter purchase which was then brought back to the U.S..
Signal amplitude increases in proportion to the area of the pixel, noise should increase at most by the square root of the area of the pixel. Bigger pixels mean improved signal/noise.
Except for the Foveon sensor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveon_X3_sensor, cameras add the pixels for each color to get a total count 4X higher than the true pixel count. CRTs count each triad, for a much more nearly honest number. An 1800x1440 CRT is a good match for an 8 megapixel sensor.
Comparing the US dollar to other currencies - historically or in a futures market - gives the relative inflation of the two currencies or the expectation of the relative inflation, not the absolute inflation of the US dollar. Assuming the CPI is honest, it is probably the best gauge of the current value of the dollar.
We're running about average for this point in the 4 year "presidential" cycle, and the typical May tumble just happened. If things continue running to the average, we'll get a sharp low in October, followed by a year of dramatic growth. Alas, YMMV.
Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinski in "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". Not the best, but the first that popped into my mind.
Dudley Moore as Wylie Cooper in "Best Defense"; although that's more an engineer's role than a scientist's. Given the exaggerations and fantasies necessary for a movie plot, the portrayal was accurate.
About 35 years ago (April isuue) Popular Photography announced the availability of a dark bulb. They warned not to point it at the sun, because damage could occur to one or the other.
I just checked the profit margins for Exxon-Mobil, Conoco-Phillips, and Chevron. The average is about 9% and the free cash flow is less than the net profit. Just how much of this do you think oil companies should throw away to make you happy? Should they cut prices by 20%, so that they'll soon go out of business? Want to guess what happens to the price of gasoline if supply is cut drastically by the failure of a major supplier? The people who are complaining now won't stop complaining if the price falls 20%. They'll cheer if a major supplier goes bankrupt, and they'll still be cheering as they freeze to death next winter.
Fuel prices are kept high by government taxes and regulation. End the government meddling, and prices will fall by more than anything the oil companies could legally do on a continuing basis.
DirecTivo features may vary somewhat depending upon the model. I have an 80 Gbyte model made by Samsung. It has no skip ahead 30 seconds feature, nor the jump 5 or 10 minutes. I can only jump ahead to 15 minute markers (and that only in FF) or jump back 8 seconds. Compare features very carefully before you buy.
"You put the electric motors in the wheels themselves."
Sounds good, but for consumer automobiles it's a really bad idea. Heavy wheels degrade ride quality and handling (i.e. safety), and an adequately powerful motor-in-wheel will probably double the unspringed weight.

My monitor is 112 dpi, and the new font is much more readable than the old, without scaling.

Although similar in function, soap and detergent are not the same thing. One definition of detergent even explicitly excludes soaps.

Your example fails the test proposed, because in your example all numbers are between all other numbers, thus betweenness has no distinctive meaning.

For a long time touch-tone was an extra cost option. I saved about $2 a month (IIRC) by using a keypad pulse dialler for 5 years.
