A collegue of mine once measured the EM field generated by various components of an electric car and found that the strongest field comes from the four discs that are rotating in a magnetic field. The mechanical term for one of these discs is "wheel."
I think that by slightly increasing the cost of each other product to offset the cost of providing a free service that not everyone uses is very cost effective.
When you go into a cafe with free WiFi, you never see a notebook in front of every patron. One can suspect that the bandwidth demand is small, so the proprietor of such an establishment would not need to spend extra money on a wider pipeline.
You provide a feature few will use and everybody says, "They've got WiFi." They go there and think, "This place has WiFi, if I ever had a laptop and a need to check my email while drinking my coffee, maybe I'd bring it here."
I've seen 300MHz Celerons with 64-128MB RAM run Word 2000 ok on NT. When upgraded to Win2k, the machine took noticibly longer to do navigate hefty Word documents.
The argument that the decisions are stifling free speech is weak if you RTFA. The court ruled that regulations on political advertising in place on TV radio and print should be applied to the internet in order to prevent organizations from spending far much more money on advertisements than their opponents.
It doesn't prevent ordinary joes from blogging their hearts out about politics.
Alcohol and caffiene do not affect the body in "equal but opposite" ways. Alcohol generally blocks or slows the signals transmitted between neurons in the the brain. Caffiene increases your heart rate and causes you to release adrenaline. The net effect is an increased jitteryness with a decrease in motor skills. Imagine a hyper drunk. Also, both chemicals are notorious for causing dehydration.
Although you know that Asimov's stories explored the flaws in the 3 laws of robotics, many people take the three laws of robotics as if they were actual laws. I've seen movies, television shows and even real people purport those laws to be true. Ironically, when they mention the laws as if they are true, they actually point out that they had never read the aforementioned tales.
The man is not suing because he was forced to work 12 hours a day, that's perfectly legal. The lawsuit contends that he was forced to falsify his timecards to say that he only worked 40 hours in a week. The unhappy part of it was that he wasn't compensated for the additional hours he worked. This may or may not be legal, but what isn't legal is falsifying your timecard. Falsifying timecards is a Federal Offense! If you are being forced to falsify your timecards, I suggest making a few phonecalls.
My take is that outside cases of brainwashing, exposure to any sort of media is unlikely to change one's personal beliefs and/or leanings, and that any argument stating otherwise is pretty much baseless on it's face.
Suppose the son of man with Alzheimer's Disease is strongly against stem cell research. Suppose, then, that by reading a medical journal he learns that stem cell research may lead to a cure for the desease. What is the liklihood that the medical journal has changed his beliefs with regards to stem cell research?
propoganda is political advertising. A message such as 'Serve your country' is propoganda. As are your former examples.
With that said, I doubt that America's Army is promoting joining the military much more than Counterstrike or Battlefield 1942 are. First person shooters have been around for over 10 years and if they inadvertantly promoted enlistment, as the poster to which you replied suggests, the military would probably not be in such a need of soldiers as they currently are.
I'm not in the game industry, but I do test software. It's easy to say that developers need to hire more women, but where are they? In all of my math/engineering classes, the male:female ratio was very high. Most women aren't interested highly technical fields of study. In a field dominated by men, attractive talented female employees has follow educational institutions attractive more female engineers and scientists.
Not only does autocheck work on 2000, you also don't need IE to install any of the updates (except, of course, for IE updates). You can download each update and install it from your machine using Mozilla, albiet, they don't make it easy.
If it is played 40 times a week people are going to hear it and *believe* that it is popular. When it gets artificially vaulted to the top of the charts more people are going to *believe* that it is popular.
When a song is played every hour for days at a time, people tend to think the song is played out. That probably hurts the sales of the song in the long run, IMHO. If I hear the song over and over, I'm not going to buy the album and here it some more. Of course, you could easily optimize via calculas the amount of "advertising" to do to increase the charts if you knew the functional relationship between the amount of times "advertised"/unit time and the record sales/unit time.

Most independent music stores I visit sell cds for about $8 and max out at $14 for hyped up albums. Maybe you should find a better record store.

It was at an ARTCC, and it was using Voice Switch Communication System. DSR does not handle air-traffic control voice communications.
Also, Intel's processor warranty does not cover mission critical usage, and it explicitly uses air traffic control as an example of such activity.
