Actually, I don't watch any TV, I was basing it off my experience with my family while growing up. They watched a ton of TV all the time and I spent my time in my room with my three computers learning how to network and program. Now my siblings struggle to pay the rent every month and I live comfortably as a programmer. Huh, go figure.
I was doing the math on this too and it's insane, especially for rental, to have it be $0.99. If we assume only 2 hours a day at 30 minutes per episode, that's four episodes a day. Times 30 days in a month equals 120 episodes, or $118.80. While it may be convenient for one or two episodes a month that you missed on your cable subscription, it is insanely expensive to think about.
I can't really believe the article stating that Asian kids spend less time in school. It may be true that they spend less time in the mandated schooling system, but across the street from every school here in Taiwan are tons of Cram Schools that parents send their children to until late at night when they come home exhausted from over learning. So if you add together all the time spent in school and cram school it is far greater than any student spends in school in the US.
Umm, I live in Taiwan and I can let you know that they still use a reversed swastika. I see it on every Buddhist temple (which is quite a lot) and on some of the more traditional residences. It's only a religious symbol to them here, most people don't even know that the Nazi party used it.
Of course, these are the same people that think the word playboy means rabbit and have no idea of the brand's link to the porn industry. Gotta love Asian culture.
Most likely it is a closed circuit circulation of fresh water inside the pipes that works much like a car radiator system, by pumping water through their data center and then into the deep sea radiator that they build. The only part that needs to be monitored and aware of corrosion and such is the outside of these pipes, which someone else mentioned could be dealt with by adding a corrosion layer into the pipes and monitoring every once in a while.
except that he says that sometimes he doesn't have internet access so he DOES have to store things locally. I guess a different alternative would be to have a usb thumbdrive for that, but then that may get stolen.
The thing that really gets me is that all they really have to upload is ONE picture of the celebrity. It's not like they are taking their entire life's portfolio and giving it to Wikipedia saying, "Here take everything I have, and everything I am going to make so that I am now financially ruined forever and can no longer take another photo. Have my camera too since now it is useless to me anymore." I mean, take one specifically for Wikipedia, lower the quality of it if you want, and then move on taking more pictures; your fingers ain't broken yet.
Dude, lighten up a bit. Dude is a generic term and a filler word. This is a tech forum, let's not bring sexual (mis)identity into this.
The Ten Commandments contain 297 words, the Bill of Rights 463 words, and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address 266 words.
By removing your urban legend portion your point is now lost. Unless, of course, we also remove the Gettysburg address since it isn't actually law of any sort, then we see a pattern forming; although you can't really make a good pattern based off of two occurrences.
This is all assuming that your "point" was that laws are using up more and more words, which wasn't very clearly stated at all; or possibly that laws are getting more and more specific. Which still, you gave four documents which range widely in purpose and use.
Although this is old news it brings to light again the growing trend of limiting content based on location. I am an American living in a foreign country and there are a lot of sites that I cannot go to because content is limited to US IP addresses.
Sites such as cbs.com have content only available in the US. Youtube also has some videos only available in the US. Now, it seems from the discussion, that most music sites have also turned that way. Our globalized world is getting torn apart again by content providers.
Unmanned means there is nobody on the actual aircraft itself, but that doesn't mean there is no one near the radio controls connected to it, or the monitoring tools back at home. Those people, probably a team of people I am guessing, would, again I am guessing, take shifts to make sure the craft was doing well on its first flight.
You are only off a little bit on those numbers; it is 15.3%, half paid by your employer, half paid for by you. I know because I do consulting work and have to pay both halves, also known as the Self-employment Tax. This on top of living in a foreign country.
You could try putting a plus sign in front of the word. The quotes are for grouping words together, eg. Lord of the Rings vs. "Lord of the Rings". The one in quotes requires the order of the words and would narrow your results quite a bit. If you searched "Lord of the Rings" +Gandolf it requires Gandolf to be in the results, but not necessarily directly following "Lord of the Rings".
On the same note, a minus sign requires the word to NOT be in the results.
There was a problem when I was growing up with the "local" newspaper and public notices. They had to hit a certain number of subscribers in order to count as having put out a public notice, so they gave away their newspaper to the people that lived furthest away, others closer to town paid about $0.35. It was comprised of about 70% public notices. The whole purpose of the paper was for companies to have a small paper that no one reads that meets the requirements for public notice so they can build on protected lands and other such things.
Two cities in Taiwan have already done this, you rent the bicycle from a stand, it uses credit cards to make a deposit, and you take it to wherever you want, you find another stand and return it. It also has an external locking mechanism for when you go somewhere that doesn't have one of their stands to lock the bike in.
You can bike to the mall, park, someone else takes the bright orange bike back to school or near their home, and then you take someone else's. So far they haven't ran into a there are no longer any bicycles here for me to ride home with situation, although it is feasible that this could happen.
That's good for brakes, maybe, but have you tried to buy a piece for the engine? They'll ask for the VIN just to make sure; some cars of the same year have differences in the engine. It is possible that if you know enough about everything in the car that they can find it for you by deduction, but a VIN is much faster.
Some do ask for your VIN because then they can make sure they get the headlight that fits your car. You would probably be pretty mad if they gave you the wrong headlight.
With wanting the warranty number though, that is a little much. If I went to the dealership I just tell them I don't have a warranty anymore and they help me fix it for a tooth and a nail, much like this guy for $150.
Of course when they run the VIN if it comes up as Reported Stolen then they call the police about it.
As someone has pointed out earlier, with cars you transfer the title and there is a clear transfer of ownership, not an implied transfer.

I'm currently in Taiwan and enjoying the TEXTp videos.
I must have missed the announcement also, but just this weekend at my local LUG (KaLUG) this was the topic of a two hour presentation.
Seeing how 66.67% of the time I am either sleeping at home or at work it shouldn't be too hard to fill the other 27% with commute/grocery shopping.
He must be a Verizon employee.
Make sure to do it in multiple rar files that have to be chained together in order to decompress it.
I have modpoints, could you point me to your *cough* my kingdom?

I prefer the use of base 13 myself to find the answer sent by the creators to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.

From the article, I am guessing Verizon, since the guy is signed up for their service already. But hey, maybe he was willing to give Verizon his SSN.

That would be UPS, previously known as United Parcel Service.
