Also, if you accounted for your method of understanding the intentions of someone who is now deceased, and has been for a while, we might have been able to independently confirm your theory, or properly and with all authority label you a quack.
Yes, but don't you see? Ducks have everything to do with it!
And is their similar symbolism in "The Hunting of the Snark"? I am thinking specifically of the poem "Jabberwocky".....
Travelling knot theorem in text. If you take a piece of string, connect it to a piece of fishing line, connect that to a piece of rope, then make an overhand knot in the string and work the knot along until it reaches the rope, what, then is a "knot"?
Es Brillig war. Die schlichte Toven warten und wibbleten in Waben. Alle mumsige war die Borgegoven, und die Momeraths ausgraben.
Travelling knot becomes travelling meme.
There is a mathematical structure to the common meme, too. Think about it.
Make it worth your while to watch the advertisements. Put beauty, art, and interesting creative themes in the advertisements. Make them a decent use of people's time and space to watch them.
Go back to the basics in advertising from it's heyday in the 1950's. Give us the equivalent of dancing Lucky Strike packages. Be bizarre.
Good advertising will have a large amount of bait for a tiny little hook. It doesn't take much to associate a good brand with a fun message, but you have to get past the recent habit of advertisers to think "annoying is good".
If there's a good bit of art and a smattering of wit to the advertisements, people will stop complaining about them. Make them so good that people who block adverts will be missing out. Appeal, people, not crowbars.
They share marketing money with customers who are pro-microsoft, so there is financial incentive for some to be MS only.
If you can't win against the Microsoft hedgemony, you can at least use the threat of open source to try to screw their prices down a bit. Who knows, that tactic - that is, getting the best deal you can from MSFT by creative use of experimentation with FOSS could be the lever you need toward getting the execs to have a look. Once there, perhaps, they might say "Hey, that's really not so bad, is it? Tell me more..."
Of course, I could be in a fool's paradise here.
But a really good investment sometimes is a competitor's coffee mug on the desk when you negotiate your deal.
I think a Firefox mug would look really cool, come to think of it.
You won't see a reduction until the ISPs start to be accountable for their users.
You're quite right, but I assume you aren't positioning that as a good idea (I will give you the benefit of a doubt).
The more we consider and treat ISPs as common carriers - and yes, I know this is a grey area - the safer we users of content will be. If ISPs become accountable for their users, then the regulators will step in and determine just exactly how those accounts should be drawn up. And I, for one, would not salute our new robotic overlords.
And it's always going to be a matter of both voltage and distance that determines whether or not the current would be enough to kill you.
Frequency too. If the frequency of the electrical current is high enough, it might just decide the outside of your skin is the easier path. You might prefer this.
We see serious new attempts to enter the launch market (the new Russian commercial efforts, one for every launch vehicle they have, two new companies in the US in the past 25 years, Orbital Sciences Corp and SpaceX, China coming out with the Chang Zheng (Long March) 5, India developing more capable launch vehicles).
Am I the only one who read this and thought -- "They're going to outsource space travel soon"?
Citibank doesn't hand out accounts on street corners.
Actually, they kind of used to. I remember them sending out unsolicited Citibank Visa cards to pretty much anybody on their mailing list, without much in the way of qualification, some years back. They simply sent lots of cards to people.
I guess the idea was that with the miracle of high rate compound interest on increasing debt balances, people who fell into the broad demographic between (fiscally responsible) and (loser debt monkeys) was large enough, and would pay enough in interest to make up for the write-down losses incurred by the loser debt monkeys.
To quote an old Husqvarna hare & hound racer some years back, "A downhill is just like a straightaway, only you can go faster."
Put anybody in front of a wheeled mass, headed downhill, and check their attitudes. The one who whoops at the speed gain is the one you want if you want to survive the run, not the one who covers their eyes and spends their nervous energy in total flinch-mode.
Your country is changing, fast. You want someone who admits to the speed and steers like hell. Honestly, from an outsider's perspective, you could have really screwed up badly in your last national election, and you didn't.
Ok, well, there's Biden, but even he's better than that eyes-connected-to-lime-jelly turkey strangler he ran against.
Dude, parchment is leather. Nothing flimsy about it. The Book of Kells (9th Century), the Lindisfarne Gospels (8th) both written on parchment, are still around today.
I think that if you want perfect information retention, put the information on something people can read directly - tattoo a dead sheep.
I like the method shown by the George Pal version of "The Time Machine". (I think it was George Pal's - it's the one that debuted a young, red-haired Michael Doohan). Little rings on a round table top. You can't help but want to spin the first one you see. Brilliant piece of UI design, I think, although difficult to accomplish without an opposable thumb (it's anthropocentric, of course - our robot overlords might not have the knack of spinning a ring on a table) but I doubt that's a problem if we limit our scope to homo sapiens.
Actually, given the very high operating temperature quoted, I'm wondering if this isn't a variant of MHD generator. The "inks" could be conductive salts.

Correction: Pocahontas and Avatar were both animated. Kevin Costner is anything but animated.
Darn - and I spent all my mod points on a state change.
I was going to argue that the nose terminates at the lung, but you're right -- there is a hole starting at the nose and ending at the mouth.
Actually it's a Y-section, which adds to the manifold. A cow is actually a rather topologically interesting beast.
If you put your foot on the throttle and the car doesn't accelerate, that's because the wire has fallen off.
Yes, I noticed that on my old Citroen too.

The media's also going crazy popping stories about how that raving lunatic professor who shot up her campus was a "fan" of Dungeons & Dragons.
It's also a clear and unmistakable fact that over 90% of all heroin users started out drinking milk.

Whups - apparently these things degrade fairly quickly. 30 year ROI suddenly doesn't look that good...
I'll go back to farming Saronite now, thanks.

I like the concept, but the real world is going to interfere with the execution.
Let's hope it can interfere with a few executions.
