To think of Cost is not foolish, to think of obaying ones Master is.
In your particular case I would advocate just "obaying" [sic] your master. If you can't think for yourself there is no shame in just handing over the wheel to someone who can.
Um, no, if you actually get a cheaper monthly bill, it might well be worth your while to buy a phone outright.
I think you may have missed the entire point. I don't care how much the monthly phone bill is. The money comes right back to me after I submit my expenses.
So it may be worth the company's while but it is NOT worth my while.
It would make more sense if you took the entire cost of phone and monthly plan and compares apples to apples. But the company won't buy me a phone even if it saved them in the long run on cheaper monthly bills... hence my post: "Part of the problem is businesses that reimburse you for cell phone bills".
Part of the problem is businesses that reimburse you for cell phone bills
I have two choices. Either lock into an expensive cell phone plan which effectively pays for my phone. Or buy a phone and have a cheaper monthly bill and no lock-in contract.
Unfortunately with the later the company won't pay or even help pay for a phone even though that is what they are doing in the first option. So I would be a sucker not to get the more expensive plan.
Actually we don't know if it is the solar maximum... The sun is very periodic but it is still a bit unpredictable as to when exactly the periods start and stop. The only way to know is if in 2013 it shows the telltale slowdown of the decline cycle (that is, if we are still here...)
Interesting, this is the same strategy employed by economists. It seems most of them won't recognize an economic bubble when they're in one... but after the "telltale slowdown" is becomes extremely obvious in hind-sight.
At least that is how it is suppose to work..Unless of course the guy who architects the backup system uses an electric pump to push diesel from the tanks to the generator... and that pump is tied into the standard power grid:)
All NBN endpoints have a backup battery to allow phones to continue to work for a good few hours even in a power outage.
The telco (unless it is third world) will have massive diesel generators (and a stock pile of diesel) to keep things operational in an emergency. As long as there is electricity or diesel the phones should continue to work.

Jaffee is wrong. Some of the bet games in the past two year have been emotionally engaging narrative-driven. If you ignore the arc of characters and plot, and only focus on gameplay, then you end up in the same box as angry birds. And that box is worth $.99.
Yeah, that's what was missing from SimCity... 20 minute cut scenes and plot development of the citizens.
If his parents want to set him up with a paid-off house so he can live rent-free, why is that a problem? You think it's better that he give most of his income to a big apartment complex corporation instead?
It's a problem because the idea of inheritance doesn't align with capitalism in my opinion.
Someone who hasn't worked for and earned his wealth shouldn't be entitled to his parents wealth. If his parents were well off that should have been enough of a leg up for him to get an education and work hard: not become a barista.
What if you take it one step further and instead of a house he inherits a company. What if the company was well run and employed people. Once the incapable son inherits the company he slowly drives it into the ground. Instead of proper management or a co-op formed, this guy basically pisses away the company.
Money should essentially be destroyed when you die. It would basically act like reverse inflation giving a fractionally higher purchasing power to everyone else.
It's not gravity. It's atmosphere. Even in Low Earth Orbit, there is a whisper of atmosphere. This causes a drag on the satellite, causing the orbit to decay.
causing the orbit to decay and the satellite to drift off into space...? if only there was a way to predict where in 3d space it would head towards.
The problem of world hunger has been solved multiple times already. The real problem is, every time we are able to increase food production, it results in a short term increase in the standard of living. Which is immediately followed by uncontrolled population growth and then back to square one.
1. Discovery the the New World John Cabot - The fish were very plentiful and he would send word to King Henry VII that they would no longer need to fish in common waters as there was enough cod fish to feed England for an eternity.
2. Introduction of chemically produced fertilizers Inorganic fertilizer use has also significantly supported global population growth — it has been estimated that almost half the people on the Earth are currently fed as a result of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use.[4]
3. Genetically modified crops During the mid-20th century, Borlaug led the introduction of these high-yielding varieties combined with modern agricultural production techniques to Mexico, Pakistan, and India. As a result, Mexico became a net exporter of wheat by 1963. Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the food security in those nations.[4] These collective increases in yield have been labeled the Green Revolution, and Borlaug is often credited with saving over a billion people worldwide from starvation.[5]
Something's fundamentally wrong, though, if you can't click on a random link. OK, maybe there's a browser vulnerability from time to time, and given how many there have been, clicking on random links (especially on the seedier side of the web) might not be the smartest thing you can do - but if end users are supposed to have to worry about clicking on a link, then we (the techies) are letting them down big time.
It isn't always a browser vulnerability being exploited. For instance, meatspin.com is perfectly safe to browse as it only corrupts your brain.
Yet another misinformed soul parroting whatever it is he heard or read. Overpopulation is not the real problem, it's the fact that we're living in an outdated society with outdated structures (poor space management). Really, a lot of things in our society are inefficient and there's a lot of waste. We produce so much waste it makes me physically ill to think about, especially when you consider the problem could be mostly avoided with better management of our resources.
Inefficiencies like eating meat when insects are a far better at turning grains into protein?
The "Food and Agriculture Organization" (FAO) are making recommendations for the reduction of traditional meat and instead advocate eating insects. Why? To combat the growing demand for protein in world with too many people, which is only growing. This is only one example of one resource limitation... and they are all limited.
I don't know why you think we have a shortage of people or why the existing people need to reduce their quality of life to accommodate them.
And since you like George so much, here is a quote from your hero asshole: "It's irresponsible to have more than one child. Have one. Have one child, replacement value for yourself, that's all." - George Carlin
Because the library author already took care of that detail. Put the cursor on diamorphine and press F3 (Eclipse): const Narcotic diamorphine = C21H23NO5;
The chemical formula isn't specific enough. Different compounds can have the same chemical formula but entirely different structure and are known as isomers.
It gets even more confusing when you have compounds that look the same on first glance but differ due to chirality.
I believe chilli or chilli oil when used judiciously can teach children not to put just anything into their mouths, and to obey their parents when told to not put stuff in their mouths.
Does that work for Thai children too, or does it have the opposite effect?
How much money are they spending in manpower, electricity and consumables by calculating risk? how about make a super computer to figure out how to solve the world debt.
Everyone knows the answer to that question already. Learn to live with less resources for each person, or figure out how to have less people.
It always amazes me how things like these can be lost.
Do you think anyone is going to any great lengths to preserve episodes of "Terra Nova"? But you never know, it could become a huge cult classic in the future.
Your summary accurately describes the definition of gambling as opposed to investing.
Gambling is placing money at risk with an expectation of loss. Investing is placing money at risk with an expectation of gain.
So, pumping money into a [commodities|housing|internet|gold] bubble really is considered investing then? I guess this explains a lot (and yes, this is a slam on the sheeple not the parent).

That's why I wish these could be sold to the US masses.
Whoa whoa... hold on just a minute. The average person is innocent and therefore has nothing to hide thus rendering encryption unnecessary.
But the tip of this spike is so small that no one knew what it was made of or exactly how it worked.
Sounds like Bucky Larson's dick...

Fiber requires external power for the lasers.
Traditional phones lines are powered by the telco so they'll work during a standard blackout.

E=MC^2 makes a "matter compiler" a pretty hefty energy investment.
m=E/(c^2), phew... looks more manageable now.
well don't you need a way to get food / other stuff there and keep it coming.
How easy is it to get the water on the moon? is it safe to drink?
I'm sure they'll filter it first. So unless it's a freakishly high concentration of heavy water, then water is water.
It's not gravity. It's atmosphere. Even in Low Earth Orbit, there is a whisper of atmosphere. This causes a drag on the satellite, causing the orbit to decay.
