Alexa analysis. None of those jokers have reliable data, so you have to take them all together and synthesize the answer mentally. Note that Alexa extends to the present day while Quantcast goes only through the end of January.
Are you joking? Kucinich is comletely out of his mind. He would fit right in with the most far-out of Marin Country tree-sitting homeopathic crystal healers. Check out this keynote address he gave in 2002 (from http://www.co-intelligence.org/CIPol_DKucinich6.12 .html )
Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self. The energy of the stars becomes us. We become the energy of the stars. Stardust and spirit unite and we begin: One with the universe. Whole and holy. From one source, endless creative energy, bursting forth, kinetic, elemental. We, the earth, air, water and fire-source of nearly fifteen billion years of cosmic spiraling.
Thank you, unfrozen caveman programmer. I'm trying to remember the last time I experienced a buffer overrun in Java, Python, or Perl. Hrmm. Still thinking...
XML has standard APIs (DOM, XPath, and so forth) that plain text lacks. So although experience with flat text files is meaningless, experience with XML is not. Organizations advertising for XML expertise will be happy to hear that their job ads have turned away the clueless, such as yourself.
Sure, C has a huge space of implied variables. You can read from any memory location, and cast it to any type. It's completely ridiculous, much worse than Perl.
The disorders you linked to have an overall incidence on the order of 1 in 100000 people. The rate of being fat (in the USA) is 2 in 5. You do the math.
Yeah, fat genes. Good one. There is no such thing. If there were such a thing, we could breed a race of superfat humans who can exercise constantly and still gain weight. Second law, eat your heart out!
The kids are fat because their parents are fat and the whole household eats chicken fried steak and gravy on a bed of iceberg lettuce covered with Kraft Singles and ranch dressing. And the little lard buckets take a car to school and back and play Nofreindo when they are at home.
Humans are incredible walking machines. We have a higher endurance than any other land mammal. We are built to walk and walk and walk some more. When a human doesn't walk, they get fat. It's a pretty simple system.
I'm sorry to hear that you hate real cities. I know that culture and the arts can be a pain in the ass and are best eradicated. And I hate having to see all those interesting people all over the place. Man, I wish I could move back to Midwest City so I could drive everywhere and never interact with anybody.
That's just the thing. These supercapacitors have wild performance swings over standard Earth temperature ranges. And the problem of freezing lead-acid car batteries has already been solved. It's called the Absorbed Glass Mat battery and it has been on the market since at least 1989 (has always been the OEM battery in the Miata, for example).
Kleiner Perkins has funded dozens of not hundreds of completely bogus businesses that failed miserably. I've been to conferences consisting entirely of K-P startups pitching their bullshit business plans to each other.
Plasmas don't have a backlight and they don't have problems with viewing angle. The light is produced by an excited phosphor, just like in a CRT or SED.
Google for Bloomberg B-Unit if you are interested. It's not a total solution (because it has no radio, and because fingerprints are not as good as PINs) but it's close.
Oh by the way, I dispute your statement that none have been deployed. The Bloomberg Anywhere service uses a chipcard with integrated fingerprint reader and even an integrated camera.
There is already a smartcard in your phone, and a radio (sometimes two), and a keypad. So the problem is entirely in the software domain at this point.
The real solution here is that both the chipcard and the PIN device should belong to the payer. Each account should be issued their own slim 10-key PIN pad with the smartcard integrated. When paying, the transaction would be transmitted to the smartcard (by contact or wirelessly) and then the user enters their PIN. The transaction is signed and sent back to the cash register or point of sale system.
This way, the payer is reasonable certain that the PIN device has not been modified.
Actually, TOAST has been around since long before 8.0. I think the improvement in 8.0 is that you can disable compression, whereas it was mandatory before.
Mitigate every risk? I suppose they could do that by getting the government to guarantee their revenues and profits... OH WAIT! They already have that deal! So, nevermind.
People talk about AT&T like it's the scrappy pull-itself-up-by-the-bootstraps earthly incarnation of capitalism. The truth is that every penny AT&T takes in is made under an essentially free grant of profit by some government agency -- municipal, county, state, or federal. And now that Ma Bell has taken us for hundreds of trillions of dollars, they are trying to fuck us over (more) by rolling out their new services to only wealthy neighborhoods.
People should realize that AT&T's historical monopoly grants still represent a huge competitive advantage over all other players in the market. So AT&T's actions need to be restrained to prevent them from killing off every competitor. If AT&T wanted to repay write off all past profits made under regulated monopolies, that would be fine. But the current situation requires strenuous local government oversight.
Some elements of TP really do use the motion sensing to good effect, I think. The aiming of the slingshot, bow, and grapple are not that interesting, since the same thing can be accomplished using the analog stick. But Link's shield attack is invoked by jabbing the nunchuk, which is pretty intuitive, and the stab is done by stabbing with the Wiimote. And you reel in your fish by reeling on the nunchuk. Overall I thought the control scheme was pretty good.
But I still think the best part of the Wii controller is that I can use what amounts to a Gamecube controller cut in half. I don't have to sit with my hands cramped together.
You may want to brush up on the concept of sovereign power. There's nothing a functioning government cannot tax. In the USA, for example, the only thing that can't be taxed is the exercise of some inalienable right. For example, you cannot be taxed for voting. But damn near anything else is taxable.

And does this hold only for verbal languages? What about music?

The picture is hugely better than LCD and roughly as good as a really good plasma (e.g. Pioneer PureVision).
I find it hard to believe they are still making games for TOPS-20. The PDP-10 is a nice box but really it can't hold a candle to my Amiga.

That explains why I usually can't get the stab to work :)
They have them piled up on the shelves at the local Best Buy. Of course, you'll need to find the actual hardware at some other outlet.
