If the transaction is occuring inside of the united states, then the FTC can certainly stop it. Spam that is sent to US residents on behalf of US based corporations would definetly be easy for the FTC to go after. The other cases will be a bit more sticky.
Well, some yellow is good. The more water your kidneys remove, the darker your urine will be. If you have an abundance of water, your kidneys will not filter all of the water out, and your urine will be fairly clear. If you are dehydrating, your kidneys will work to conserve water, and your urine will be darker.
I haven't taken biology in a couple of years. If you want a more detailed answer, look it up:)
If your cat is that intelligent, maybe it's time to fight back. Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before it learns where you keep the food, and then you become just another hunting target.
Start locking doors. Buy a gun. Don't let your cat know you're planning anything. And then when the time is right... make your move.
Seriously, I love cats (my own cat is watching me type this, and hopefully he won't be mad at me for this) but if your cat is being that destructive, something is wrong. The worst thing my cat has ever done is piss all over my clothes.
It seems to me that emails are less annoying than
the lawn signs and incessant TV ads that we always see, and considering learning about the politicans is an important step in making an informed decision about who to vote for, email is one of the better ways. It gives everyone a fair playing field.
My only concern would be that the email doesn't reach people who are out of the voting district (I can't vote in the FL gubernatorial election) and that it isn't excessive. I, for one, would like
to get information about all of the candidates via e-mail. One e-mail per candidate. If I get any more, he's just lost my vote...
You can't say "get the money out of politics" and "don't take advantage of this free form of advertising" and expect to get away with it. Now excuse me while I don my asbestos suit.
It's a lot. Especially in my state (CT), where we have one of the highest gas taxes in the country. Do we have to know the actual numbers to have it matter? Hardly! We just need to look at our pocketbooks, and the prices at the pump.
People need to travel to work. If you're going to want everyone to be able to contribute to our economy, it needs to be feasible to get to work. You can't take the roads away from the poor and not give them a suitable alternative. The result would be suffering, crime, and more poverty.
Everyone always says crap like this, but if you'll excuse me, I disagree.
I've found the Simpsons to be consistently amusing since day one. Yes, they've had some episodes that aren't perfect, but overall the recent seasons have been great.
The brand of humor is changing. Perhaps you people can't handle that. But recent episodes such as HOMR (crayon in the brain) and Trilogy of Error (The thumb / Linguo / Smuggled firecrackers) have been terribly enjoyable.
Buzz off, Simpsons are still great, and for as long as they can maintain this quality I've got no complaints. I don't want to seem them stick around past their prime, but we've still got a few years until we need to worry about that, IMHO.
One more thing- another response to your comment mentioned disney-esque morals in recent episodes? Huh? Are we watching the same show?
If Treo is replacing Visor and whatnot, what will people recommend for those of us who want a really cheap, barebones PDA? The Visor Deluxe is available now for $100 used, and the m100 is $100, but are there any other PDAs that are making it into the $150 and below price range?
I, for one, am considering a PDA to work as a simple organizer. Phone numbers, addresses, maybe some information about local take-out and delivery restaurants. Is everyone aiming for the high-end PDA market? When will we see the "Celeron" of PDAs gain more improvements?
In times of (near | the beginning of | the middle of | the end of) recession, I don't see why people are looking to reduce the amount the government spends. NASA employs quite a lot of people and has many more subtractors; all of the money that they spend does go somewhere, and reducing it for the sake of doing so will only hurt the economy.
Now, I'm not saying we should pay people to dig ditches, but space research *is* useful and from a scientific, economic, and practical standpoint I don't see why we would reduce NASA's budget. It boggles the mind.
Operator overloads make it *way* too easy to write code that is difficult to follow. The ability to add, subtract, etc. objects *rarely* makes perfect sense when you consider everything that the object represents. Really, the lack of operator overloads is not a big deal, perhaps even an advantage, if you ask me. (IMHO)
I wonder, how sloppy would freeBSD development be if you synced your kernel hourly with the dev kernels? How buggy would it be? What does the interdeveloper mail look like in the freebad world?
Synching hourly with -STABLE (the branch where tested development is done) would rarely cause problems. (Not to say you should be doing this) Doing this on the bleeding-edge -CURRENT will result in a level of success inversely porportional to how exciting the work being done is. They're working on SMP now, so it's probably not the best idea, but it is getting better with time.
As someone who has tracked FreeBSD -CURRENT, linux stable, and linux development kernels, I assure you -CURRENT isn't anywhere near as bad. Usually. There's certainly always a heads-up before something really bad happens:) Sorry. The bleeding edge is always dangerous, risky, exciting, and fairly bloody, but I wouldn't say that it always is sloppy.
The synthesis of methanol is very exothermic. It would be a challenge to recover a significant portion of this waste heat AND remain compact and affordable.
I'm sure there are other reasons this process isn't reversed, and someone who knows more chemistry than me could probably go into depth.
I'd assume that per-capita income and per-capita GDP are highly correlated. They're related, that's for sure.
Income per-capita = GDP per capita - deprecation per capita - business taxes (direct and indirect) per capita, including social security et. al...
Per-capita GDP doesn't tell us much either, unless there is a fair and equitable distribution of wealth. In most countries, there isn't. All of these economic indicators will let you see a part of the picture, but you can't piece it together with only one.
I know plenty of dual, even triple majors. The school I'll be attending in the fall (Carnegie Mellon) is notorious for them. It's just that a lot of people don't want to take that many classes;)
I wasn't under the impression that was unique to CMU. I've never heard of a school not offering a degree to someone who has fulfilled the requirements because they already had another degree- that's absurd.
Both you and the other poster in response to the parent are quite mistaken about what the advertising clause means.
Copyright reproduction clauses exist in *every* version of the BSD license. The license & copyright must be reproduced with the product regardless of the advertising clause. What the advertising clause does is require that in any advertisement for the product, that credit is given. This can be interpreted to apply to things like newspaper ads, where at the bottom they'd have to say "contains code copyright regents of the university of california" or in a radio ad, where they'd have to have one of the voices giving credit... this makes per-word advertising impossible.
Copyright reproduction clauses are good, advertising clauses are bad. There are webpages out there that can cover the issue in more detail than what I just described.
Studies show that hypochrondia is being diagnosed in Mendocino, CA at a rate ten times the national average. Reduced levels of electromagnetic exposure is the prime suspect.
Mendocino had been attracting thousands of people due to their reduced levels of EMF exposure. It now seems that these people may have been actually endangering their mental health.
They have just as much right to publish FreeBSD-related products, promote the operating system, and benefit from helping its user base.
This is correct. They do have as much right.
The field would benefit from friendly competition, and the playing field for such competition should be level.
Yes, the field would benefit and does benefit, and the playing field is level.
You seem to have a little trouble grasping what this means.
Never underestimate the geek clout gained by statements like, "I got x to run on a box that only had y (MHZ, MB, GB, whatever)."
How true! My 486 DX4/100MHz with 24 megs ram and a 540 meg HD made a wonderful XFree86 machine. Windowmaker, netscape, and mpg123 all running at the same time, with mpg123 playing back 128kbps full-stereo 44.1KHz audio; and everything else was still usable. Fine desktop machine, indeed!
I'd probably still have it setup today if I didn't need it more as a webserver+router w/nat+testing ground for software+cvs server. Oh, and the 540 meg HD has since died (after quite a long time of dedicated service).
Yeah, uh, this is on-topic because I'm showing how true it is, and this geek-muscle hasn't been flexed in quite a long time 8)
Hydrochloric acid releases small abounts of chlorine gas? Under what mechanism? I would imagine that any measurable chlorine gas that you'd find in a bottle of HCl was in solution from when the HCl was manufactured.
I'm not a Chemistry whiz, but my old textbook says that the energy of reduction for 2 chlorine ions to form chlorine gas (Cl2) and 2 electrons is -1.36 volts- so I don't see why this reaction would occur spontaneously.
I won't argue with you that HCl vapor is bad for you, but it's certainly nowhere near as deadly as chlorine gas.
Why does everyone like to have support for devices they probably don't have?
The only thing that I'm missing out on is support for this Iomega Ditto Professional Max or whatnot, which is a bullshit tape drive that I got for free. *Shrug*
