It is bad to assume that gold doesn't have intrinsic value in jewelry and decoration. And that value makes up most of the value of gold. If people are still buying gold jewelry in large amounts, than it must be market price.
Actually, that is racist. The simple statement that someone of another race has different insights is racist. It could be 100% and not derogatory, but it still fits the definition.
Who streams the Super Bowl? It is broadcast. This is a problem during regular season 1pm/4pm games, because you can only get your local team then. Those aren't national.
What is worse for the environment? A cow that farts and breathes out CO2 but poops good fertilizer. The electricity required to run a lab that produces the same amount of meat, milk, leather, and fertilizer produced by that cow.
I don't understand how any of those networks are "public". That is why they always needed a warrant for listen to telephone calls and why they should for Internet communications. If someone replies with some kind of "everyone uses it, so it is public" bullshit, then well, you don't know what public means in this context. Was the Civil Rights Act the first time this quasi public-private crap came up in America? What makes McDonald's any more/less public/private than Augusta National?
$2 million customers at a conservative $100/month contract * 3 months (1 quarter) $1,600 million loss. They can blame lack of customers all they want, but there is obviously something else causing the issue. Where is the other $1b loss coming from?
To make it legal, all they have to do is give a penalty of $1,000,000,000,000 for every company that refuses to turn over their private key. If we learned anything about Federal authority, they can't do anything directly, but they sure can impose a "tax" to do all kinds of Unconstitutional things...
I would assume some simple optimizations would be added to the robot. Like, first try 0000, 1111, 1234, 0123, 9999, 6969, etc... Try all repeating and sequential digits first. Then try all possible dates in format MMDD and then DDMM. Then do the rest.
Like calling up the owner on their home/work phone and telling them you (the cell carrier) noticed that their phone was stolen. Then ask them for their pin so you can "find the location".
And that since it is a blackberry, which I would think would be connected to a BES, it is only wiping corporate "cloud" stored information. BTW, this feature is why BB has been so strong for the enterprise.
What is an Islamic extremist explosive attack? How is that different than an American extremist explosive attack? Or any other type of person, extremist or not, "explosive attack"?
The Ecuadorian government's protection of Assange has made Ecuador more relevant in international affairs than at any time in their history. Any new leader that screws that up, stands to only hurt their country. Maybe at personal benefits (payoff?) they would though...
Light rail can only handle certain speeds. They make frequent 45/90 degree turns. They are typically running down the middle of streets, etc... They are always above ground. The most classic example: think of the San Francisco trolley. In New Jersey: same idea, but up to 2 train cars at once and not nearly as historic or cool looking.
Frequency is everything. Screw upgrading the trains or stations. All they need is more frequent service. I would guess that service twice as often would yield twice the passengers. That might be what you experienced in London.
First, the NJ Transit trains you are talking about are not Light Rail. Light Rail are along the Hudson River and in downtown Newark. You are talking about Heavy Commuter Rail. Those are rail lines that used to be, and in some cases, are still used for freight.
The NJT Heavy Rail timetables are not for casual commuters. They are for 7-4, 8-5, or 9-6 first shift type workers. Several trains leave in the 6:30-8:30 timeframe and several trains come back in the 5:00-7:00 timeframe. Outside of that, you have 1-3 hr gaps. But again, it is only for worktime commute. It is not a taxi, subway, or even bus. It serves its purpose. Also, there is no way a bus gets you where you need to go faster than if you have a typical first shift job. Connection wait times, if you have one, are pretty short during the rush hour. And they take you straight into Penn Station. The best part is the commute time is far more predictable (low variability) and far more comfortable than car/bus. A car is certainly faster in most cases, but far more expensive and terrible variability (3 hrs on unlucky days).
Light Rail has its own issues. It makes itself useless during non-peak hours because it is so infrequent. Same with PATH (heavy rail; subway). Why PATH leaves NYC every 40 minutes after midnight early Sunday morning and then stops for 5 minutes in Hoboken is just stupid. That is their second busiest time. They need to automate it and run single car trains every 5 minutes instead of an 8 car train once every 40 minutes.
A lot of people who work in NYC live along the US-1 corridor in north-central NJ. Amtrak stops at several stops along that route. Those people have a choice between NJ Transit and Amtrak. The statement was not completely unfounded...
On the same subject of not making it about computers.
Make each day an interesting challenge. Present a problem and have the members come to a solution either individually or as a team. The problem should be Computer Science problems. Things you would get asked in crazy interviews. Brain teasers if you may...
That will get beginners and experienced alike interested. Basically, don't focus on the code. Just the algorithms in a game-like format.
Except there are laws to stop this. They want to make it look like it isn't a breach of contract, but their lawyers know damn well that it is a breach of contract. They just know that the ones who won't notice or care will bring in more revenue than those that call them on the breach...
They don't need it, but if it makes money, why not do it? What I don't understand is how $0.61 * X = $500,000,000. That would mean X is about 900m. There aren't 900m cellular customers in the world, let alone ones for AT&T. And a $0.61 surcharge isn't going to result in more customers...more like a loss in customers. Not enough of a loss in customers to make it an unprofitable move. But what math genius came up with half a billion in revenue for this?
