I thought it was an average, but its medically understood that there can be variation within +/- a degree or two F in that measure for any given person at a given time.
Clearly you've never met my girlfriend. It is ALWAYS too hot, or too cold. I am completely confident that she can distinguish temperature variations smaller than 1 F.
40-80 gives you range of whole-degree steps that is 60% larger than 5-30. How do you fail to see 60% more, besides just from being obtuse?
Fahrenheit is based on several reference points, one being a salt and ice mixture that is known to stabilize to a consistent temperature, and roughly that of the human body. Perfectly practical bases.
I agree that Celsius is the superior temperature format (even though I'm used to Fahrenheit), but everything you said is false.
The toilets backed up? Just call maintenance/local plumber and have them fix it. What's the big deal? The Director is delegating, you friend should, too. That's leadership, or some element of it. Granted, the Director should just call maintenance, but that's life.
Except to "fix your car analogy, "tires" are a commodity that will be replaces at most once or less in 95% of cases over the useful expected life of the car, and that 50% increase in mileage lowers the expected replacement rate to zero.
Here's a thought, how about comparing it to a car's BATTERY?
Actually, the battery is bigger and heavier, allowed by the removal of all the extra packaging that would be required to make a removable battery in the first place. But yes, I agree with your points.
Also, Apple includes installation with the price of the replacement of the battery, so you don't even have to spin those 16 screws, if you aren't so inclined.
Removable batteries in most laptops is correctly described as a feature that people perceive the need for, but very few people actually ever use, and some very small single-digit percentage actually ever need.
Dude, look at the HP Mini 1000. It has two entirely custom ports on it, one for video out (requires extra peripheral not included) and one for the solid state drive. Way Nonstandard EVERYONE uses non-standard connectors of some type. You just don't know what you're talking about.
Apple introduces new ports because their hardware IO is up-to-date, and they're interested in pushing hardware forward. They haven't had a truly custom port since maybe the ADB connector, and that was decades ago. ADC was pretty custom, but it carried a DVI signal, and MiniDisplayPort is being integrated into the spec. Firewire is also an IEEE spec.
After stripping the DRM and archiving to EPub, can you then restore this copy back to your Kindle? That is, have you truly archived your book in a way that it can be restored to Kindle in the same usable state?
Is this a DRM hole that Amazon is likely to patch? Does this allow you to pirate Kindle books?
Two prerequisite features for me would be archive-ability, and portability for eBooks on the kindle. I want to be ensured that if my kindle explodes, or I lose it, I can get the content onto another device. I also want to be able to lend my books to a friend once I'm done with them.
No, we're not comfortable wearing a purse. Purses, shoulder bags, saddlebags, and "murses" are considered gateway-accessories. Soon after, we'll be needing cuff-links, fancy watches, and designer shoes. Next thing you know, you've wasted the entire afternoon buying antique brooch pins and doilys, and can't figure out why everyone is calling you "Nancy."
I was posting hastily while eating breakfast in 5 minutes, and I MEANT the more generic 'bug' which includes anything particularly creepy crawly instead of the more specific "insect", which only refers to critters from phylum insecta, and I know snails are of the phylum mollusca, and I know more about it than most people...*shakes head*
Yeah, my bio prof would be rolling in her grave.. were she dead. It's still a trifecta, just a different kind.
They taste kind of like a very musty bean, but they have the typical cooked larva mouthfeel to them, a slightly taught exterior that 'pops' when you bite into them, and a soft creamy interior.
I'm not just talking shit either. Silk worms are a very common street vendor food in Korea, and I tried some the last time I was there. I'd seen them for decades, but I'd chickened out when I saw them in my earlier years.
If I was in some sort of survival environment, like the harsh vacuum of space, I wouldn't mind eating silk worms, but on a regular basis, I'm not too fond of them.
Don't worry, everyone feels this way, and has been saying the same thing for *checks watch* about 11 years now.
Lots of power users want the mid-range tower. It's an obvious hole in their desktop lineup. They don't want a Mini, or an iMac, which essentially have the same expandability. They don't want the high end tower, which has been prohibitively expensive, and the only expandable mac option for over a decade now (since the B&W G3 tower). So, you're totally right, but this is hardly a revelation.
iTunes Plus is an 'upgrade' to your DRM-encumbered files, costing a surcharge of $.30 per song over the price of DRM-ed songs. Sometimes you can buy an album for the same price in iTunes+ format. Apple will also "Upgrade" any songs in your library that are available in iTunes Plus format with one click, and the price difference between the DRM tracks and the Plus versions, which is at least convenient.
So, on some level, Apple is acknowledging that DRM-free is a value added feature.
Most capture card solutions are going to have one of two problems:
1) Horrendous latency problems due to encoding time
2) Limited to SD resolution capture (720x480)
3) both of the above.
Problem #1 literally makes games unplayable, as it ads about a.7-1 second lag between the video output and when it is displayed on the screen.
Problem #2 removes a lot of the benefit of having an HD console. A lot of X360 titles lose a lot of their visual quality when playing at standard definition, it can reduce the field of vision for game play, and some titles, the developers actually did a crap job with the standard def assets, and the game has unreadable objects at standard definition (Dead Rising).
Devices that can capture video real time at HD resolutions, such as component capture tend to be really exotic hardware requiring fancy IO (like firewire 800, or eSata, or PCIe), or, they have internal compressors that add that horrible lag time to the video. Some of them, are still rather immature for commercial products, as well, with driver errors and such.
For the best gaming experience, I'd use the SVGA input, or use monitors that that have component in to connect the X360s to. That'll give the best gaming experience.
Instead of monitoring a capture utility, just monitor network activity from the consoles, which all have unique mac addresses.
I think any sort of monitoring scheme is going to require an element of trust on the part of your workers because smart, employees will always find a way around these things. Also, the addition of a free-time "perk" of any sort should adjust your existing productivity metrics. That is to say, whatever you use to measure work quality and completion now, should work just as well after adding consoles. If you don't have these metrics in place yet, then you just don't know what your people are doing.
In the game industry, we all have piles of consoles on our desks, along with rigs built specifically for gaming and software development. For the most part, people "get" when they're working and when they're not, and they do the right thing as long as expectations are set correctly. People occasionally get fired for getting nothing done and being addicted to WoW, but that is relatively rare.
Target Disk Mode was originally a feature of certain Macs with a SCSI interface, and it was known as "SCSI Disk Mode".
Firewire is somehow tied to SCSI technology in a way that is not clear to me, it is either a derivative technology of SCSI in some way, or has SCSI functionalities implemented within its standard, or both. But this is probably why FW supports TDM, and there isn't an equivalent USB function. Or perhaps its related to FW's peer to peer bus data transfer capabilities.
Long story short, its not just a matter of bandwidth, Firewire is superior to USB in a lot of other ways on the technology end of things.
There can be no valid argument between Evolution and Creationism, first and foremost because the theory of "Creationism" does not exist, as there is no theory.
Note, I'm not saying that its wrong, I'm saying that fundamentally, there is no consistent underlying principle or discipline of Creation that "Creationists" adhere to, and agree upon, have vetted, tested, and found to be consistent. Concepts of Creation vary widely in scope and reasoning. So, you believe in God, and you believe in some notion of Creation, but "Creationism/Creationists" don't exist.
Secondarily, the notion of Creation cannot be proven. The underlying prerequisites for Creation cannot be proven. Concepts that cannot be proven are fine and good, even in the realms of math and science, but you cannot use something that cannot be proven to prove or disprove something else.
A "potential blow" to YEC? I can't even begin to innumerate the problems with this statement.
This entire 'argument' between Science and Religion is like asking "Who would make better food, The Faculty of every culinary institute in the world, or the Swedish Chef from the Muppets?" One is a vetted, proven institution responsible for every significant contribution to cuisine in modern history, the other doesn't actually exist.
The "volcanic conditions" basically involves more access to similar compounds (sulfur, methane, nitrogen), along with abundant energy (heat). Most of the amino acids will form on their own, this we already know. It just takes longer at a lower temperature. So, you can determine how much change should have occurred based on previous estimates and the amount of energy available to the samples, then determine how they performed over 60 years in a closet, then determine if that expected rate is fitting or not.
A PC gamer mag did an article about this years ago, where they bought several current PC titles from a variety of publishers, then tried to return them stating that they disagreed with the EULA.
Several companies (I recall Blizzard being one of them) sent them refunds after they sent their original something or other back. So, it is possible, at least it was a few years ago.

... or temperatures that transitioned in scalar multiples. That might be kind of neat.
Not exactly. teaspoons and tablespoons are not metric units, they fit very closely by coincidence but its:
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce
1 ounce = 29.5735296 ml (according to google)
1 teaspoon = 4.9289216 ml

5/32 is right next to the 1/4.
Based around pure water at 1 atmosphere.

carry books? I never did that in college, and all of my books weighed like .8 lbs or less, and I didn't have any reasons to carry them around.

Seen 'em all over the place in Korea from street carts. They always have this particular insect trifecta: Silk Worms, Crickets, and freshwater Snails:
