Not saying it's your situation, but I'm sure the "fake honey" looks a lot more pretty and "fresh" and probably tastes better for the "fast food masses"
Fresh honey? Gimme the sitting in your shelf for ages, crystallized and it's still good thing.
It's not less efficient. It has less energy per volume BUT THIS IS A NON ISSUE if the price matches. (except for autonomy of course, but unless there are no gas stations where you're going, non issue) Ethanol running engines also produce more power which seem to be conveniently ignored (granted, your engine may not take advantage of this)
More corrosion? Not if you engine is built to support it. Then guess what, no corrosion.
And of course don't use E85 on a E10 engine, but E15? Your fuel system either supports ethanol or it doesn't. It's not really concentration dependent (and you don't use E85 then because of engine calibration and cold starts)
Most of the modern "skeptics" are as bad as theological dogmatists.

Yes, there is no evidence for this "germs" thing so Pasteur is a crook. Mr Einstein has never seen an instance of light bending under a gravitational field so he's delusional
Dear open source zealots, no one is obliged to add more circuits to a computer just because you can't be bothered to give the embedded card some data.
ALL computers depends on some amount of closed source data, deal with it.
There are exceptional cases, where the firmware is OSS, or where the vendor is a real asshole and forbids the blob to be distributed
Absolutely. Dear manufacturers, if you complain about distribution of fw at the same time anyone can download your "windows driver" off your website, You Are An Asshole
No, they're not. Inside the European union (which I'm sure is what you meant), while you have the right to move around and work as you wish, most people don't do it and don't want to. In practice there's language barries and cultural barries all over the place.
True for most, but it's not the demographics of Rovio employees (or at least the main employees). Would be good to have a more exact statistic.
Absolutely not. You can start by looking at one article in wikipedia where it is immediately apparent that countries are running their own systems, with substantial differences in rules and rates. The Nordic countries (such as Finland) are generally in the lead.
Sure, unemployment benefits are different in their structure, but the end result is similar. Finland may be better but the systems in other countries are not really behind.
Rovio is in this case a prime example of a company which has benefited substantially from Finland's school system for skilled employees (they're one of the absolutely best in the world), Finland's stable democracy and their stable economy.
I'd say citation needed. Do you think education in Finland is so much ahead of that in France? England? Sure, for basic school Finland is one of the first ranked usually, but this does not correlate with market success!
Also, Google, Nokia, Intel, etc take a lot of talent from less 'educated' countries like India, Brazil, or slightly less than Finland like USA, Ireland, where nonetheless you can find very talented people.
When they're asked to pay back, they flee -- an extremely immoral act which I sincerely hope will bite them in the ass.
Well I wouldn't blame them, since being successful results in huge taxes. The reasoning of making bigger companies pay more taxes is not something I disagree with, until one realizes companies are mobile nowadays.
Yeah, a light source and good optics go a long way
Also, good sample preparation is essential. I guess most of the problems are there.
For a light source, forget about the "built in" methods. Even a desk lamp goes a long way. And if you try different positions you can get great results, or even go for reflected light instead of transmitted light (depending on the sample)
They benefited from the system all their lives but when it's their turn to pay in, they leave.
Please, what system? Workers are mobile inside Europe. Social security and welfare is more or less equal inside Europe as well.
so that means saving about 4 million euros in taxes, while at the same time dealing with both a perception of greed which can certainly hurt them among conscious consumers as well as the costs associated with moving the operation to Ireland.
Their workers will probably make up for the 4Mi to the Irish government since income tax is higher on Ireland. Still "perception of greed" yes, sorry, it's a crime to be profitable, I forgot. "which can certainly hurt them among conscious consumers" yeah, right "costs associated" I'm not sure, they certainly can move some of production to Ireland, but maybe if it's done slowly it's not complicated
More power to Ireland, they can use the extra taxes.
Or better, the lack of a precise specification. And different manufacturers implementing different details in different ways.
But it's lots of games depending on several different functionalities. You can certainly test in most games. But then you find out Quake III relies on an old bug or quirk of the spec that you fixed and that broke the game
Game developer makes the game with available cards. Sees that no one does 'item X' correctly, finds a solution that works on everybody. Item X is fixed but breaks old games.
Not to mention AMD (ATI) has a "tradition" of shipping crappy drivers.
You'll probably end up in cabin (oh but a cabin made of wood? that's deforestation) eating what you're trying to plant and raise (trying, because fertilizers come from cattle raising: bad or petroleum: bad and no herbicides)
The interesting parts are the very small size and the addition of the gate which allows modulation of the electron flow.
Absolutely. I would describe it more as a "new type of transistor" than a "small vacuum tube" (and the fact that it's solid state and apparently can be integrated with other devices)

Grumpy cat, is that you?

You can uncrystallize honey by heating.
I know that. But the crystallized one is less messy.

Yes, please keep perpetuating the oil industry myths.
Also gas does not dissolve anything like polystyrene, really, it's the perfect fuel, I forgot
Yes, some cars 'may' be damaged. But if they withstand E10, E15 is really a non issue
Not to mention ethanol is better for the engine in some ways (less carbon deposits)
The real mystery is: what kind of Google employee goes to a bar?
So what it should be done (for a start) is simple. Never allow the death penalty for a first conviction.
Chance of a wrong conviction: p (suppose it's 5%, so 0.05)
Chance of 2 wrong convictions: p^2 -> 0.0025 or 0.25%
(It's more complicated than that really, because of Bayes and other - real world - factors)
Interesting, I only knew about the link I posted, where the conclusion was more studies were needed

Oh please, it's firmware whining again

Yeah, no problem whatsoever
Also, if you replace the gas in your car with TNT it will go faster, promise
Mechanical simulations in:
Heat and CFD
FEM for mechanical resistance of parts
Dynamic programming/operational research
Electrical simulations (antennas, or just circuit simulations)

You're assuming that access to good equipment is equally affordable in all countries.
But well, I could get results from the finicky microscope, good results, I'd say
Apart from the optics, a good source light is essencial
This
I remember that in school we were instructed on how to use the microscope, but it's very easy to mishandle it
So, for kids, go for an affordable choice
Get a toy one
At 7, it will be great
Get preferabily one with >= 50x mag, so you can see cells, etc
Later you can think of a better one
I really don't remember how old I was when I got my first (toy) one, but it was a built-it-yourself kit
Then I got one that was 100x-300x-600x (which was 'more real') and it was lots of fun

Let's ban synthetic drugs while the tradicional/crime financing drugs are still around
Let's make more difficult for people to have their nicotin fix in a less harmful way by banning all 'less harmful' alternatives.
The drug traffickers and tobacco companies are grateful for your cooperation.
Unless the fun is imaginary, then we're spinning in circles
You'll probably end up in cabin (oh but a cabin made of wood? that's deforestation) eating what you're trying to plant and raise (trying, because fertilizers come from cattle raising: bad or petroleum: bad and no herbicides)
True, it's field electron emission!
The interesting parts are the very small size and the addition of the gate which allows modulation of the electron flow.
Absolutely. I would describe it more as a "new type of transistor" than a "small vacuum tube" (and the fact that it's solid state and apparently can be integrated with other devices)
