Yeah, but a company is naturally limited by its ability to generate sales. If a department grows so large that it swamps revenue, then eventually either the company will trim the department or the company will dissolve.
The government does not have that check, because they can just raise the price of the product and everyone still has to buy it.
You can cancel your phone service. You don't get to economize on how much "government" you purchase every month, and it's a bitch and a half to change service providers, especially if you want to keep the same house.
What "organization?" Kafka's most famous work is about a guy that wakes up one morning to find he's turning into a cockroach. No reason is ever offered, no "organization" was there to ignore his appeals. The rest of the man's life was so extraordinarily banal that he should have wished for death if something as diverting as turning into an insect hadn't happened to him, and he manages to take that experience and find the boring in it as well.
The unreasonable bit is that the "automatic update button" only affects windows updates. Other software handles the update process on its own, imo improperly, because application updates (except for MS applicatiosn) are not integrated into the auto updates.
Linux is the only one that gets this right, and even there only partially: many proprietary third-party applications simply aren't in the repositories. There really doesn't seem to be a "updates only" repo for any OS, as buy-in would still be difficult to get.
Still, if you stick with what's in the repositories, and there is a lot there, you can get away with a unified update process. You can actually be certain that everything on your machine is as up-to-date as the maintainers can be.
Maybe, but conception is a fairly instantaneous, well-defined event (nth countable cell division might suffice, too). If you can't define a clear, definable and measurable event, then you're relying on "statistical personhood" which means that wherever you draw the line there is a chance that what you terminate isn't not-a-person. That chance goes up when you're performing the procedure a lot of times, until it's almost certain that you'll have murdered at least one person.
A case where the very life of the mother is in danger though is a grey area. Self-defense principles come into play and complicate things, but it wouldn't mean that you're not talking about a person, only that killing a person in self defense of mortal danger is not a murder.
Are you saying that they refuse to consider anything other than MS internally or that in addition to being internally a MS shop, the products are all in MS-only formats and no effort will be made to, say, make sure their outward facing web site is compatible with the top 3 browsers?
One is a design decision which may or may not cost more in the long run, but the latter forces citizens to purchase products from microsoft just to view their output, which is fairly unethical if deliberate.
The problem he may be having is that that works in a concert hall or a quiet room, but if you have any kind of noise floor in the room, then to get to the quiet parts of some songs you will have to put the gain up such that the loud parts are, in fact, too loud.
I blame the playback devices, though. There ought to be a knob so you can set the floor and ceiling, or alternately, gain and offset, of the audio output to deal with environmental noise.
Ahh, but is it better to put your redundancy in inefficient, possibly human "readable" encodings or to compress it and fill the saved space with ECC data?
It's easy to change if you want a shiny and glossy brown & orange theme, or a KDE-inspired brown & orange theme. But if you want to get out of "We're trendy like a café" PaneraBucks land, you have to use some elbow grease. Manually change the individual colors of the screen elements, because the only pre-selected color schemes are variations on brown & orange.
Which is great if you're a graphic artist, but if you don't know art and only "know what you like", if brown & orange isn't it, you're up a creek.
I'm not convinced from the article that that he was in as much danger as they say. How did they rule out the possibility that the drive wasn't on its first trip through?
Uh.. of course it's stolen. The value is stolen. Your {currency unit}'s utility is reduced and the counterfeiter gains {currency unit} with a value roughly equal to the aggregated loss of buying power.
You are deprived of "ability to get stuff" and the counterfeiter has more of the thing you were deprived of. How is that not stealing?
I'm glad to see the mayor can be so jocular and jovial and downright chummy, cracking wise and generally campaigning when a man's freedom is at stake here.
to this day, the official Catholic position is that [IVF] is contrary to natural law
Only if you fail to implant all of the embryos. Because indefinite freezing is tantamount to abortion. It's not our fault that the costs of doing it one-at-a-time are too high to be practical.
how the average lower middle class person is supposed to pay for healthcare in this country
The same way they pay for it now. Out of their salary.*
*the tax structure is currently configured such that many pay for their healthcare out of salary items that they never actually see. Rest assured however that "employer paid" health care has a cost and that cost is factored into the total compensation you were offered.
The 30 million people who don't have health insurance are not "lower middle class" although some of them might fall into that group. Others are "upper middle class" and still others are "rich" but none of those groups have insurmountable difficulty in obtaining health insurance. It's the "poor" who we're concerned about. And only specific groups of the poor, namely the ones that aren't so poor that they qualify for the already existing health-care safety-net, medicare. You won't be doing the "lower middle class" any favors by taking their health care out of their hands and making them pay for, in addition to their own health care, the health care of those who make less as well.
Also, "third world" does not mean "poor." The other two "worlds" are western capitalism and western communism.
Well since "proof" is determined by mixing the liquid with a specific amount of black powder and attempting to set it alight, perhaps "degrees proof" refers to how much that mixture can be further diluted with water before it fails to ignite?
The moon has no atmosphere and low gravity. You don't need propellant to get off it, you just need a railroad. Once your stuff is off the moon, you don't really care what the maneuvering propellant is made of either, as long as it can be vaporized and electrically charged.
If the customers weren't willing to pay their higher prices, they'd have lost money. Therefore the original ticket sellers mistake with regards to pricing was the real problem and would've lead to shortages. Further, by selling the tickets to an arbitrage firm (even accidentally) instead of directly to the customers, they were able to cut out a certain amount of volatility.
The joke's on you though. Sometime before the end of his second term, there's going to be a huge fluff and it's going to come out that he was, in fact, a foreigner all this time. But we're going to have to make a retroactive amendment or everything he'll have signed by then will be nullified, causing huge economic distress as it unwinds more rapidly than a normal repeal.
Assuming he does get a second term. If he doesn't get a second term, then he'll have been an american this whole time and there's no issue.
It still applies. You just have to factor the gain in, which is a multiplicative factor. If the gain is 15db, then a handset 1cm from your face is equivalent to standing 2.1 cm from the base station. Presuming you're in the center of the beam.

Neither does magnetic flux. Magnetic flux is a local property of the static field and not the same thing as EM flux. It was a good pun, though.

It was later made into the film, "The Fly" iirc.

What's illegitimate about ticket arbitrage?
If the customers weren't willing to pay their higher prices, they'd have lost money.

Used use 10*ln(x) for db instead of 10*log(x) for db. The equivalent distance should be 5.6 cm
It still applies. You just have to factor the gain in, which is a multiplicative factor. If the gain is 15db, then a handset 1cm from your face is equivalent to standing 2.1 cm from the base station. Presuming you're in the center of the beam.
