Apple sold 35.1 million iPhones into channels last quarter, along with 11.8 million iPads, 7.7 million iPods and 4 million Mac computers.
In order to maintain the growth, they would need to see:
55 million iPhones into channels , along with 18 million iPads, 13 million iPods and 6.5 million Mac computers.
...or, add another iDevice to their list. I keep hearing talk about an Apple TV. I really don't see how they could break into the TV business even if it was essentially an iMac made for streaming TV and internet content meant for the living room. Then, what else could they add to their ecosystem?
Problem is that we keep on doing those "irst step in establishing a permanent human presence in space" things and never get around to the "second step...".
Or maybe things are just a little bit harder than people realize and we are actually on the 275th step but nobody really wants to see it that way because they think things should and can be boiled down to two or three steps.
Wish I had mod points. I hear people talk about how we are wasting money on the ISS instead of spending that money on going to Mars. They should realize that if we really wanted to go to Mars, we'd need to be doing all sorts of research developing the tech we'd need to do so, which would require probably an order of magnitude larger budget going into the ISS or something similar first.
It doesn't need to be government. In fact, any tax-deductible cause will do. We need a big science lobby with a big science 501(c)(3) non-profit to collect money and administer it to these projects. Because it's tax-deductible, it's roughly the same thing as paying it in taxes, so no net loss to the citizen.
Naw, what we need is a huge Kickstarter for various things like the SSC. There could be various levels of donation where you get your name written on the collider, tours of the building once completed, special VIP tour if donations are high enough, mentioned in the paper written with data collected, bits of old electronics as the device is upgraded, science lessons by the scientists working there, etc. I could really go for a "I'm an SSC Backer,...and you're an anti-science numnut." t-shirt after the thing is funded.
It seems my mod points ran out as I was reading your post, so I will comment to confirm this. If there is an app that is needed, I may download and try out the free or cheap apps, but will be more than happy to pay more for a non-buggy version that is supported. Various fields I have hobbies in such as RPGs and photography use various apps like PDF readers and model consent form apps. There are many free or cheap versions of both but word gets around pretty quickly on forums which ones are the best ones to get and we end up paying out $10-$20 for the ones that actually work. If somebody makes a good, creative app but doesn't support it, another person can come along, copy it, support it (thus cutting out the bugs and adding new features), and charge more money, and everybody ends up happy including the users.
Shit. At those speeds I'd almost be expecting supercavitiation with all the force being on the leading edge and the rest of the vehicle being pretty much in a vacuum. That would make air intact sort of difficult I suppose. I guess I might go read TFA to see if there's a graphic of the craft.
I take it you don't know what the human rights panel is there for, and why those countries were on it?
You do know why the UN is there for and why all countries are supposed to be a part of it? It's set up to be a soap box forum for countries to talk, not as a world government used to control things. I think that is what the parent was getting at. The UN is there so countries and get together, talk about Palestine and perhaps come up with a plan between themselves that originates in the UN, not as an organization to hand stuff over to.
Well, I can see some of that. I was an physics major who left college looking at continuing my work at designing physics lab equipment. Instead I ended up as glorified desktop support for a bunch of doctors because it was easier (no more mind numbing math, although I sort of miss it) and paid more. Still, computers and the internet have vastly advanced health care for example. Everything is digital and transmitted almost instantly across the internet to whoever needs it who are using web based apps. Paper is gone along with the time it takes for that paper trail to go from person to person. The amount of data that is being gathered is orders of magnitude larger that it was ten years ago (in radiology anyway). It can be analyzed in ways that they couldn't imagine twenty years ago. The time it took to take the data and get results went from 24 hours to 24 minutes. Today, we have doctors that can check results and give reports with images displayed on their cell phones in critical cases such as strokes where things need to be decided in less time that it would have taken for the doctor to get dressed, let alone get to the hospital.
I do wonder what the zombie stories are all about, though...
Zombies are a natural disaster that a person can shoot in the face. The stories aren't about man versus zombie, they are about man's interactions with each other in the face of nature. Nature manifests in zombies just to provide some action.
She's not bitter. She's just crazy. She was all over the industrial music forums during her band phase with the same stalking stories. Like here, people said, "go to the police" while others want to help. She doesn't go the police and the more she says, the more her statements just don't add up. Eventually, she says something, usually about how some person is a nazi or stealing from her, and then somebody calls her on her bullshit. Of course, this feeds her feelings of being persecuted and she flips out. Rinse and repeat.
It does take a leap of faith to state "There is no God" (atheism). The sentence isn't testable or falsable.
Depends on your definition of "God". Depending on how you set your premises, you can test, prove, or falsify whatever you want in a logical experiment.
Good try, but I think we all know which side would win a true tally of evil bastards.
You are correct, but try convincing the atheists on slashdot of that.
You'll have a hard time convincing any religious fanatic of anything. They may not believe in religion, but they seem fanatical about their beliefs on religion.
Think about only this: without the excuse of God, how many politicians would have to find another way to persuade us to follow them in their quest to serve their buddies' interests.
Without God, people would just use ideologies and do the same things they were doing before. Without ideologies, people would be motivated by nationalities and other political formations. Without nationalities, people would just group up with their local tribes or ethnic cultures to promote them. Without tribes, people would just do the same things to promote their families and clans. Without families or clans, people would still persuade people for financial gain, which has been argued is the actual motivation behind all the previous methods described including religion and the excuse of God.
Fortunately evs still have tires, which are what make most of the noise in most any car at residential street or parking lot speeds.
That's what I thought. Then I unloaded a computer out of a coworker's electric car, and was walking to the crosswalk in front of it. I was watching the car because I had heard they were quiet, but was thinking that I'd hear the tire noise, a click, or something especially since my attention was on it at the time. Nope. It just zoomed off right past me and down the street while passing within two feet of me, and I never heard a thing.
Tried finding a 4:3 these days? I needed and new monitor and was looking for 4:3. Frye's had nothing but 16:9. Not a 4:3 to be had let alone in a higher res than my eight year old flat panel (unless I went with an Apple which I'd like but it's expensive). Everything in 4:3 online seems to be pro and cost a lot more. I finally had to settle on a 16:9 because that's all I could find and it took some looking and money to get a decent vertical resolution.
In Canada, the first thing the courts would do would call for a media black out until the judgement is rendered, and then likely another black out until sentencing.
Hrrm, can't think of any way that could be abused. "You've being charged on these accounts." "Those are completely falsified, political in nature, and not even dealing with the evidence or reality. Nobody will stand that you can do this." "Sorry, media black out till after you are sentenced. Perhaps if you plead guilty first."
I'm not from the US. A lot of my understanding of current political issues within the US come from this site. I find considerable value in reading the comments of nerds to issues that may not, in themselves, be News _for_ Nerds.
I am from the United States and I would like to second that. Between Fox and Huffington Post, I really don't trust many news sources I can find. Everybody has their bias and their axes to grind. At/., I can look at a wide selection of opinions, and while as a group the readers here certainly have their bias, a well written post that provides informative or insightful information that goes against that bias, still gets modded Informative or Insightful despite that. When there is something I don't know much about, I often look forward to an article about it here as, while not perfect, the modding system here is better than any other one I've seen and the same goes for the people who post. Even our Anonymous Coward trolls are more well spoken and seem more intelligent than honest posters over on the Wall Street Journal. I've learned a lot about various issues from both people who show personal knowledge about something as well as just some decent logic.

I just turned to my partner and said, "Logan's run was a book!?"
It was a trilogy. Logan's Run Logan's World Logan's Search ...plus the movie and TV show.

Unless you escape and manage to see the sun for the first time.
That's the movie. In the book, there was a sanctuary and it was a space station near jupiter.

Seriously, it doesn't get much more clearly evil.
Yep, that certainly beats out murder and cannibalism.
If advanced planes work perfectly, we will never get a Bionic Man.
Don't worry, I'm old enough to find that funny.

Don't argue, but I see the role of Utopian fiction as injecting some hope.
One man's Utopia is another's Dystopia.
It sounds as if your company has a poorly run IT department.
How much would you like to bet that the people who make the decisions and control the budgets are not in the IT department?
That problem is quite easily remediable.
Clue number one that the following paragraph should best be modded as "Funny".

The point is that 16:9 now beats 4:3.
