Yes, let's increase the noise level in NYC 10-fold. It's not like I'm already going deaf from the constant construction, sirens, and idiots yelling about the new world order.
You only need long-term stock devaluation when you're holding a short position for an extended period of time, otherwise you can still profit from shorting a stock in the near-term thanks to intra-day bounces.
I think some of the helpfulness you run into in NYC is also partially due to people living here long enough to be lost themselves. I know for a fact that this city can be downright confusing and you can lose your sense of direction pretty easily - especially if you're coming up from the Subway.
Of course, that train of logic usually only applies to Manhattan island. Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx each tend to be their own different story.
But I think the truth is that most people in the world, not just New Yorkers, are pretty helpful.
God help you if you decide to drive in the city, though!
As someone born and raised in NYC (I didn't spend most of my days on the playground, though), I can say I'm not surprised in the least.
This city is as "business minded" and conservative as it is "artsy" and liberal. Quite frankly, there's so much shit going on in this city on any given day that things like this just don't seem like anything important.
I can't begin to tell you how many times I've managed to walk through the middle of a TV show or movie taping simply because I was walking to the subway, or how many unique pieces of art I've actually stepped on (because they were built into the sidewalk) - all of which were genius in their own right, and would be praised as such in any smaller city, but because of the overwhelming amount of stuff here, its artistic importance is significantly diminished.
So... how exactly are we going to overcome the whole "International Waters" problem? Specifically, the areas with the largest amount of wind power are the same areas that the United States, China, and Russia could all conceivably lay claim to.
Making cute videos and sending probes are two entirely different things. I'd rather see research money spent on research and not cutesy little videos of "what would you see?"
If you're going to go down that route, at least make it an HD production and pitch to the discovery Channel. That way your money would at least go to entertaining people and getting more of them interested in science.
Once you came near the event horizon (given current technology) you would more than likely be dead, so this is a pretty pointless video, but we were able to use up most of our grant money renting out the SGI rendering farm to produce this. Isn't it cool? Can we have more grant money to do more cool things like this?
You sound like a "concerned parent" trying to not be the stereotypical fucking tyrant we read so much about on Slashdot, but you're failing at it and rationalizing that it's the advertisers fault so you can put up filtering and ensure that your little angle stays innocent and ignorant.
("splash sex in her face without her permission" actually means "splash sex in her face without my permission" - don't try to cover it up with your bullshit)
It's time for you as a human being to sit down and have a serious conversation with yourself: your daughter is growing up, plain and simple. If she's looking for "hot guys" today, in a few years she's going to be searching for "where can I buy a dildo in XXX" (or 10 years, or whatever, I don't know how old she is).
Once you've finally understood that your daughter is growing into a sexual being, and that it's OK, you can approach this from the perspective of helping her to grow up, rather than forcing a bag over her head and keeping her in the dark.
Honestly, if she's looking for hot guys, then it's time to sit down and talk with her about it - find out what her reasons are, why she wants to look at hot guys. It may be embarrassing, but if you simply filter the content, you're just keeping her in the dark about things she wants to learn about - and that creates a whole new subset of problems based around authority.
-People who don't care how fast their connection is so much as that the connection is up and running
-People who want a generally fast Internet connection that provides a reliable amount of bandwidth
-People who don't want, or can't afford, to put up with download caps
-People who are not serviced by a cable company (rural farmers, people who don't live in a big city, etc...)
-People who want a static IP address without buying into a business package (depends on the DSL providers, of course)
-People who are sick of paying $90/month for 20/1 cable service when they only get 7/512 on the best days because the local cable loop is over saturated, so they opt to pay $120 for 15/1 ADSL2+ and generally get more bandwidth
-People who are not going to pay ISDN prices to get more bandwidth than 56k dialup.
-People who don't care about their Demonoid share ratios and don't make piracy a necessary part of their lives.
-People who realize that while they could download that latest UBuntu ISO faster on a cable connection, they're still going to forget about the download and do something else, until tomorrow when they suddenly remember "oh yeah, that Ubuntu CD..."
-People that actually like gaming and don't want to be throttled back by their cable company for "unusual traffic usage patterns"
-People that runs servers as a hobby and don't have the means to pay for a full business class service (and, in reality, don't need to)
Generally, DSL isn't for the person who absolutely needs to use every ounce of bandwidth available to them. If you need to listen to streaming radio, while sharing 75 files on BitTorrent, playing YouTube videos on a second monitor while you run around WoW leveling up.
No, but speaking for myself with the experience of growing up with my grandfather and father, I can safely say that I would much rather have a woman raising children rather than a man.
Oh don't get me wrong - I had some great life experiences from my dad, like learning how to hunt and fish, how to fix things, how to build a new wall for a house, etc... In fact, it was my dad that got me into computers and taught me BASIC on the Commodore 64.
It's the raising of the children from ages 0-8 that has me a bit worried; for example, my dads idea of a punishment was to strap me into the front seat of the car, take off the car door, and drive on the highway at 60mph. While I realize that might've been fun for a teenage, at 8 years old with an angry adult driving the car, I was terrified... and that was for forgetting to return a rental at Blockbuster. I can't remember what my punishment was for not doing a school project, but I don't think it was good.
In contrast, mom's idea of a punishment when I fucked up was to talk to me and explain why what I did was wrong, and if I didn't listen she'd lock me in my room, turn off the circuit breaker, and let me stew for a few hours.

gad?
Galvanized Aluminum Diodes?
Journalist learns that other peoples opinions count. News at 11!
The major problem is trying to traverse the city. Yes, you COULD walk from 57th to 42nd, but damn that's one hell of a walk.
So, you decide to take mass transit. Now, where is the subway station? Where does that train go? Why don't the trains follow the same grid pattern?
Just because Manhattan has a grid pattern doesn't mean that newcomers won't get lost.

Well considering the amount of ear rape Leo Laporte does on a weekly basis, I'm pretty sure podcasting IS terrorism.
Shut up Sean
"Who the hell their base belong to?"
You've just terrorized my brain.
Was one hell of a marketing slogan, don't you think?
How in the fuck are pictures of the internals of an electronic device front-page worthy?
J:Com's costs were substantially reduced because they rolled out DOCSIS 3.0 on their existing copper infrastructure.
Verizon is laying new infrastructure in the form of fiber-optic cable.
Ah the New York Times, where Journalism meets Technology like a retard smacking his head into a brick wall.
Some towns do, some don't.
In New York City telephone poles are grandfathered devices. New wire should (has to?) be laid down underground.

When the weather gets warmer, Google notices is that it's harder to keep servers cool.
Brilliant journalistic work there.
I did something like this in 1996 with my Geocities page.
Stop dragging down my synergy, man.
god bless wikileaks.

DSL is for:

But women have to stay home with kids, right?

They're called "Blockbuster Media" in NYC now.
