This might be true, but nothing saves the convenience of a book to flip through. Back in the day, when I was poor, I taught myself c++ entirely via internet tutorials. Of course I bought c++ books later on afterwards, but I remembered thinking how much more convenient it would have been if I had had the extra cash to run out and buy a book. I even did the same thing with learning the (gasp) Win32 API. Obviously this would have been even more frustrating if I didn't have a little bit of education/programming experience behind me to begin with.
That being said, learning from internet searches might prove useful because you collect form a multitude of authors -- when you only have one author, you only see one part, and s/he may, for example, not give much importance to templates (back to c++ example) as another author might. Choosing a multitude of authors circumvents the "paradigm bias."
OR you could just have the cash in the first place and go out and buy 10 books;-)
Yes, from what I've heard of it, it's a diuretic liquid that makes you dehydrated and stay up all night, unlike water. But caffeine does help to edge that hunger off.
Besides if you buy soda by the case do you really think you would drink more if you have a fountain?
For the percentage that buys the drinks by the case, I think yes you might be on to something - the problem is already there. But it takes less effort to refill a cup than to open the fridge and grab a new drink, eh?
My beverage system? Oh man you should see it - it actually dispenses this liquid that is like the foutain of youth! It makes me feel better every time I drink it, and drinking it makes me actually healthier! It's what we call a (making a Dr Evil like quote gesture) "water" dispensor.
Ok maybe it is cool that the dude made a fountain, sure. But the author of the referring post is right - we need to stop this crazy binging on sugary drinks. And remember, researchers in psych found long ago that the number one thing that makes us eat more is food/drink that is more accesible. Let see what this dude weighs like in a few months...
I realize this is deeply offtopic but thanks for the tip - just went and read an article after I saw this subject line. You know, the thing about Bloom is that a few days ago I saw him on TV and his face was red as hell... was it sunburn or this suppossed illness he had?
Sorry I guess that was misleading - sorry to confuse you - apparently, the small audio transceiver lies inside the mounted navigation unit. I mean, this makes sense for the company in case the car got stolen: when they know for a fact that the car is stolen, they can activate the recording system remotely (or maybe it is turned on automatically after the car return date has passed) such that any conversations in the car can be recorded to incriminate the individual who stole the car. Is this harmless? Gee, depends on the situation. If you're a privacy advocate, no. If you don't care, yes. If you've got something to say that you don't want others to hear... well, draw your own conclusions.
Forest fires are avoided each year by making small, controlled fires such that when it's fire season the damage is not so bad because the fire actually runs out of steam. Forgive me if this sounds stupid - I'm no geologist - but could the same thing be done for earthquakes - stick some dynamite or nukes in strategic areas and make some small controlled earthquakes so the tension built up for plate movement wil not be as bad when it moves on its own? Maybe this sounds too Dr Evil-ish...
Why does it only hurt them back? Credibility. Consumers are not stupid. These type of scare tactics undermine credibility in the eyes of those not involved (like everyday consumers).
If you opt for a car with a navigation system from a rental company, some use the GPS location to locate the car if stolen. Great. But here's what you DON'T know: Those same systems can record your conversations while inside the car. This is no lie - government employees have been told to watch what they say inside of rental cars while traveling on official business.
Don't you just love it how each and every time we get settled down in a dogmatic paradigm that dictates that most all of the "major" phenomena of science have been discovered and from here on out it's just fluff, something like this happens? Even Clinton said this would be the century of biology breakthrough, 20th century being that of physics. I think the best of physics is yet to come... stay tuned.
Oh yeah another thing - who the hell programs in Objective C? (sorry, I know someone out there does, and I dont' mean to offend, but geez why doesn't Cocoa offer Java and C++ direct integration with API instead of Java and Objective C?)
I like the free Developer tools Os X gives with each copy of OSX and have been impressed by the IDE, but man the author is right - would it not be cool to see Apple taking some initiative and incorprating XP programming style tools into the existing ones? I mean hell if they could spend so much time on the dang "i" apps maybe they could every once in a while take a break and develop some great XP tools.
I'm no physicist, but ok imagine a liquid sphere in space where all forces (gravity, etc) are equal around the sphere. The sphere would have to maintain perfect symmetry in respect to it molecular/atomic structure, otherwise there would be movement, which would mean non-perfection, because the blob moves. Isn't that how the big bang theory works in regards to the formation of galaxies -where imperfections --> globs of matter --> galaxies? So then can you stack a series of balls such that you end up with a perfect sphere - I would guess not, especially if number of balls = small. But then as n grows, we approach a point in which it approximates perfect. So to make this long winded question finally stop for crying out loud, is there in fact a point in which that size of n renders the forces surrounding the sphere inconsequential such that it effectivly becomes perfect?
in the hell is a candydrop? Is this like where they shove hot candy down your pants?
If OSX is being described as such, which I am not sure that's even something that exists (no, I didn't look it up, but I'm sure YOU will), what are the corresponding linux and M$ descriptions? Linux - the brillo-pad OS? Maybe better: Linux, the "tough-love" OS? Would love to hear any M$ descriptions. Thanks!

You forget to mention this group's research papers on the subject:
1. Wake me up before you Bosco
2. Last Christmas I gave you my diet Coke, but the very next day, you traded it for a Tab.
3. Oh geez I can't think of any more Wham! songs to satire ... and yet, they were so talented ... with those tight pants ...

They're about to loose the same weight in credibility.

Will this help me out with my spinning workout at the gym?

Shouldn't this be under the "censorship" topic?

Dvorak will convert to Qwerty.
All I know is that something needs to happen soon with the Mac's processors, or Apple might go out out of business. Wait a minute ...
This would be like a serial killer teaching a course on ethics.
I was just beginning to go down the shareware route myself. Learning graphics and game programming. Guess I'll stop now.
I've got a small country to sell you and I got some hot grits for you, comrade
System wide?? Ok so when the version goes out of date do rust spots begin to appear??
