Your body automatically regulates your metabolism and makes physical exertion more difficult to prevent overheating your core (and brain). So it is possible to exert yourself (exercise) harder when the temperature gradient between your core and the outside is greater (cooler environment) and you can dissipate more heat.
This does not apply to sprinters. They never reach temperature equilibrium during a short event. And the initial body reaction is to restrict blood flow to the extremities upon initial contact with cold to conserve heat. Not what you want for a short dash.
I swim for exercise. Lakes in the summer, pools during the winter. But the local health club pool has been cranking the heat up gradually (about 84F) to accommodate the non-swimmers. As a result, any extended physical exertion is quite uncomfortable. There is some physiological effect that throttles back your metabolism to prevent overheating your core. At about 76F, its a bit chilly jumping in initially. But once you get moving, the heat generated in your muscles equals the rate of loss and the temperature becomes comfortable. And you can exert yourself more, which was the whole point anyway.
They will claim that they lost the opportunity to sell you a more expensive ticket. Of course, they might have to prove that you had the intent to bypass their fare structures. So you could just use the "I got sick in the airport bathroom" excuse and they would be hard pressed to prove you wrong. But the guy running the web site? Intent to assist a passenger with this information is easier to prove.
There is no second leg user. The flight from New York to Lake Tahoe through San Francisco is cheaper than New York to San Francisco. So you just step off the plane in S.F. Your seat on the remaining leg goes empty.
It only ratchets in one direction -- for tightening, but it actually works!
So NASA will have to e-mail them a "lefty-loosey" wrench to disassemble something? Why didn't they design it with a square drive on both sides of the wrench? I'd give them a C+ in Industrial Design 101.
Smart people in NASA would design the ISS (and any other systems needed to be maintained in space) using a limited number of fastener types and sizes. This reduces the tool inventory needed.
But that only gets you as far as most of the failures in the dot com boom. The compnies that burned through their investors' money without turning a good idea (or a bad one) into revenue.
"Business ability" means having the skill set to allocate resources (manpower, capital, etc.) to tasks that move the organization in the direction needed to achieve one's goals.
Pretty much the same way I ended up in computer science. A freshman, on the first day of class in the fall. Not knowing my way around the building, I walked into the wrong classroom.
Sounds like what you are saying is that thhis is a s/w development methodology that is even cheaper than sending out the coding work to a job shop in India.
The next step is a language/compiler that can take chicken-scratches off a whiteboard in a brainstorming session and build production code from it.
Reminds me of the story about the bigshot who was sitting in his office, shooting the bull with a client. Figuring he'd impress this guy, he reached over and hit the button for the intercom to his secretary in he outer office. "Get my broker on the line, hon'." She replied, "Which one is that, sir? Stock or pawn?"
It's more difficult to spoof voicemail than e-mail or text messages. Particularly if you know the sender. And generated spam robo calls aren't very convincing. So I'm going to trust voicemail a bit more than a text based message.
Local OTA programming doesn't have that large an audience. And yet they seem to produce their own content.
broadest of audiences,
That's more a chacteristic of nationally syndicated programming. You can't sustain viewership across the country by doing pieces on the best places to shop in Seattle.
Local broadcasters who are down on their luck financially seem to jettison their own produced programming and replace it with national shows. This leads me to believe that the fees (if any) that the nationals charge OTA broadcasters for content is pretty low. They want the eyeballs for their ads. But repeat the programming on cable and all of a sudden the content owners see another income stream and (thanks to Congress) they want to grab a piece of the pie.

66 F is cool? That's my daytime t'stat setting (when I'm home). 54 F is my night time house temperature (with a nice, thick comforter).
Centigrade, Farenheit or Kelvin?

I was going to say it is effective for defending the owner's virginity. But more or less the same idea.
Check his birth certificate.
Jesus was a Jew. He'd use a TAR-21. Or a Galil.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Our chief weapon is surprise ....
Not a problem. We can send them up with a HAL 9000 that will ensure completion of the mission.
Give him a break. It's only Timo'thy.
Somewhere in the back of a crowded elevator. Tha's why it was so hard to spot.
Which function the Air Force disapproves of on a visceral level.
Solution: Give the mission to th Army Air Corps.
If the air force doesn't want to work with the other services, we'll take their responsibilities and give them to other organizations.

The British invented computers to crack Enigma.
And I'd be pretty insecure if mine had a hole in them.
Not even considering how my image would suffer.
I have a live secretary
