It should be noted that the Neo-English word for "Neo-English" will be "English," and the Neo-English word for "English" will be something like "Middle English" or "Industrial English." Perhaps "Post-middle English"
On that note, does anybody know where I can find the official hierarchy of causes? I mean, if I have to choose between ICANN and the US government, which should I choose? Are patents above or below copyrights? Is Microsoft better or worse than SCO? (currently, I understand that is a fluid condition.)
It's not that I want the information for karma-whoring, I just want somebody to tell me how to think. (You know, 'cause thinking's hard.)
Don't forget we are starting with corn starch in this example. So the customers in question have the choice between dextrose, maltodextrose, ethanol, or fructose. Given that menu, they chose fructose.
There is also the question of who the customers are. They are not the consumers, who would go out of their way for a real sucrose product, but are, in fact, the food marketing companies. If fructose products can undercut the sales of sucrose products, they will win the market, regardless of the minority that prefers sucrose.
Bullets and meteorites can also damage the lungs, if applied appropriately. That doesn't make them toxic. Toxicity implies some chemical interaction that impairs bodily function. Carbon monoxide impairs oxygen uptake, for example. Fine dust particles irritate the lungs by abrading them, causing the body to respond by... Well, I'm not a doctor; I don't know the details, but still....
It looks like a speed bump, so presumably it is to be placed somewhere cars are encouraged to slow down. It would make sense to convert some of that energy into electricity instead of heat.
The article said that "Depending on the weight of the vehicle passing overhead, between five and 50kW can be generated." I wonder if that is only while the car is passing, or an average figure for some reasonable level of traffic. I imagine the duty cycle of a speed bump is low.
Perhaps the reference should refer to Shylock, the Jewish lawyer from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. The first three letters are the same, which is the entire first syllable. That should be more than enough for Slashdot.
The issue is of Shylock and antisemitism is dicussed at more length than I am willing to read right now at this site. A more concise summary of Shylock is over yonder.
Everybody has been saying that Aperture does things that haven't been done before in software, but I have observed my wife (a professional photographer) try to select from several competing software applications that manage workflow.
(Pause to look up names)
How about these: Fujifilm StudioMaster Pro MediaboardONE RawShooter Essentials Kodak ProShots SmartPath
I'm sure many of these don't do everything that Aperture does, but pro photographers haven't been doing everything manually on an actual light table for quite some time. Is this the first application that consolidates this particular set of functions, whereas before, an interdependent suite of applications was required? Anyway, Apple didn't invent digital workflow management, and they didn't perfect it (I gather from the comments so far).
I don't know about you, but I refuse to expend any time unless I am getting paid for it. This requires elaborate advance planning, to ensure all my time is properly contracted, but I firmly believe that life is not worth living for its own sake; it is only worthwhile if I can coerce someone else to pay me to live it.
Major sports figures with advertising contracts are probably the best example of this, as they are paid by advertisers based on their fame. This is essentially being paid for living. Of course, any salaried employee, with an appropriately written contract, can claim the same thing.
For the few periods of my life where I can't manage to find someone to pay me for something, I usually just skip that portion of time. I do this by moving through time to the next contract period. I realize that most people can't do this, but I know some magical trolls that can move me through the fourth dimension in a non-linear path. It goes without saying that I don't fiddle with open-source software.
Right. That probably should have read "As Wikipedia (the soon-to-be-discredited repository of internet knowledge) tells us, even the Nazis (who normally wouldn't do anything that may jeopardize the health of an individual) spreaded [sic] the drug among their Wehrmacht."
I managed to slog through the rest of the above mentioned cartoon, and can verify that the end is different than the book. Once the pigs had consolidated power and began to look human, other animals from all the surrounding farms heard of the tyranny and collectively decided that it could not be allowed to stand. Animals marched from all directions, converging on the farm house where the pigs were. Violent overthrow ensues, but the point of view shifts to a portrait of Napoleon, which is damaged in the fray. No real violence is shown, but sounds of violence are heard. It's really only the last four minutes that diverge from the book, but it is quite a plot turn. I believe "starting over" was mentioned.
On another note, the DVD cover called it Britain's first feature-length cartoon. That would seem to make CIA involvement less likely, although not rule it out.
One problem I had with the production, aside from the invented ending, was all the time spent showing animals working, accompanied by music. This was from the early days of cartoon, when a lot of cartoons were showcases of animation. It seems that is the case here, although, by modern standards, the animation is fairly primitive, and thus not worthy of showcasing. It wouldn't matter, except the story doesn't progress while we watch the chickens move hay around for a full minute, or other animals similarly engaged.
I have a DVD of a cartoon version of Animal Farm, which I got for $1 at Wal Mart. I never made it through to the end because it was fairly boring, but perhaps I will give it another go.
The only other copy of Animal Farm I have against which to compare it is an audiobook. I don't remember who read it. Could it also have been changed, or just the cartoon?

In Lake Woebegone, Minnesota, all the children are above average. This would suggest that a good portion of the adults are below average. If that has been the case for a statistically significant period of time, we can conclude that the population is getting smarter. (As children reach adulthood, the next generation of children comes along still smarter....)
I don't have data for the population as a whole, but the radio show Prairie Home Companion does provide this one data point, which, over the years I've listened, has been constant. I'll leave it to the experts to determine statistical significance.

Patents are open, in that details of the invention are disclosed in the patent filing, which is then available to the public. As far as the money to develop these things coming from the taxpayers, it seems that most venture capital is invested, whether as partial share of ownership or as an interest-earning loan. Either way, the taxpayers get the money back plus extra. Then, when the patent expires, the invention becomes public domain.
We can now start quibbling about reasonable durations of patent protection.
Free Culture is a surprising recommendation as an audiobook. I say that because some of the chapters are abysmally bad. A couple of things struck me as I listened to it:
1. There is no good way to describe a graph and not interrupt the flow of the text. It may be necessary to add text and edit it into the manuscript so it is seamless.
2. A recorded performance does not have to be done in one take. Several readers flubbed lines and tried to recover as if performing live. For crying out loud, edit out the errors.
I will say that I enjoyed the book, but errors like those (almost) made me want to record my own version of the offending chapters.
The mirror would not need to be reflective on both sides to aim the spot. If you look through the hole in the mirror along the line of reflected sunlight, there will be a bright spot visible.
I believe this is because all the minute particles (and any haze) in the air along that ray are illuminated from the direction of your observation. Much like a car's headlights will make things brighter in front of the car, but in this case, a much tighter beam.
Granted, it is difficult to find the bright spot when looking through a small hole, so it is helpful to shine it on your other hand (not holding the mirror) to get it roughly where you want it.
I've used Microsoft Access a fair amount, although not for anything demanding. I can say the same for Slashdot, as well. With my background, Microsoft has always seemed less like a Wal-Mart and more like a Target, especially around here.

I do that exact thing with my brake lights (although I admit it was a standard feature, so I can't take much credit).
Keeps house and yard cleaner
More efficient bulk processing of waste
leaves room for technoligical advancements in disposal methods
Cons:
Encourages people to discard more stuff
Reduces public awareness of waste and pollution issues
Some garbage trucks are bad polluters

"I don't watch commercials" may impress them with your technology.
"I don't watch that show, I think $Actor is a hack" may get agreement.
"The only media I have time for is Stuff and Maxim," which definitely wouldn't be interpreted as morally superior.
It's most fun if you can tailor it to your audience and predict the reaction in advance. (Not that I've ever done this)

I heard somewhere that the original scene followed that line with "Lady, you're sucking my arm," but I can't cite the source.
I guess that leaves Sears for Oracle.
