These things end the same every time and rarely have any kind of interesting twist.
In fact, they're composed of smaller units which are similar to the larger. This Menger Sponge of entertainment can claim an average of only 17 minutes of actual action in an event that ostensibly takes one hour yet occupies an entire afternoon to stage.
It's the ultimate in mass-produced manufactured entertainment. I can't understand why it's still so popular.
Multiples from the same uni are actually not that hard to do, since there is a lot of overlap. Some degrees may differ from others by only a few real courses, so for an extra 9 credit hours, you could get another BS. Probably not worth the effort of going through the bookeeping just to have an extra sheepskin on the wall, though.
Still, by making all of those claims there's probably enough information there to actually figure out who that is, or who they're claiming to be, or even whether or not the claim is true. Just get the rolls for each of those institutions and filter out anyone not common to all three lists that is listed fewer than four times.
I dunno, I usually find that the people "not willing to learn the in's and out's" are the same people who aren't willing to consider Mac as an option. They want to eat their cake and have it too: they don't want a machine that is considered "easy to use" as an affront to their egos, but they don't want to spend any effort learning either.
There is also the money thing, but often as not I'll see them drop more bucks on a noisy beige box with too-small screen than they would have spent on the "low end" apple. And although there is much more variety of PC equipment, they will inexplicably end up with slower specs than the low end apple.
Of course it's not helped that the stores put the ram capacity on the sticker, but the ram speed is unmentioned. Or the raw clock rate of the cpu, but not the size of the last level cache.
Anyway, my answer is usually "get the one that feels right for you" and if pressed, tell them I have a apple because of the unix (and milled aluminum case, which although fashionable, is also comfortably rigid giving it a "not a toy" feel.). Also file vault, which windows still offers no equivalent to unless you buy the ultimate extreem mega costly edition.
If they're willing to learn the ins and outs, mac actually has a lot to offer. But if they need excel macros, Windows is the only choice: office mac doesn't have 'em. (or doesn't have vbscript or something. It's not the complete ms office product) and mac's office suite doesn't understand 'em.
It is apparently not cheaper than coal, which is the fuel we fall back to every time a nuclear, or renewable project doesn't happen (which are also apparently not cheaper than coal.) If you're ok with coal then you should oppose all subsidies including "loan guarantee" subsidies.
If you're not ok with coal, though, and your goal is to move US energy infrastructure away from an economic minimax position to another position with non-economic benefits, then you have to pay for the move somehow.
Newegg: $105 I'm still a little confused though as to what, exactly it is that you don't get with the system builder edition that you would get with the full retail version.
Why biased? Well, I'm studying control systems and robotics. It's all about task automation
I don't see why you call that bias. A computer is a machine for performing repetitive tasks. If you find yourself doing the same thing over and over manually, you're doing something wrong.
Those spreadsheet people are silly. Especially since you have been able to link into a spreadsheet from the associated word processor in the same suite so that the changes propagate for over a decade.
I think there's a great possibility they'll outsell kindle on "total devices" but the question of outselling them on books is another matter that depends largely on a market that really hasn't developed enough yet to make accurate predictions about.
Actually both matters depend on new and undeveloped markets, come to think of it...
I think you're making the false assumption that people will find the iPad so hideously unusable as an ebook reader that it will outweigh the other things it can do.
It remains to be seen whether or not that assumption is false, however you've clearly admitted that the devices are not the same by using the word "outweigh" in reference to capabilities that each one has that the other does not, which is the claim I was trying to make.
They are substantively different devices with some overlap. We differ in that I believe the differences are at the moment significant enough to make them largely different markets (of which the iPad market it probably larger overall, though the book-reading iPad market may not be), and you believe them to be similar enough to occupy the same market despite the obvious differences.
I have oft wondered why we haven't seen a MEMS device modeled after squid chromatophores yet, which are full-color and in some cases capable of something like vibrant full motion video.
Regardless, the two devices are not the same *now* (apple could correct this by putting eInk on the bottom of the tablet and using the tilt sensor to determine whether to use "handy-web" mode or "power-saving book-reader" mode.)
More importantly, they are not the "only possible contender" to compete with kindle, so it seems really weird to me that they'd be positioned as such: they don't offer anything close to the same kind of device, at least not yet, and until they do, they're really kind of a different market: people who want portable electronic text, but want other features so badly they they're willing to suffer with the principle deficiency of using a backlit display as your text reader.
Surely the robots were themselves controlled by neural nets which were selected by Genetic Algorithm, rather than using a neural net to control the selection process itself. Perhaps if I RTFA...
You want to use active charcoal, as it has two things that are very important: the carbon itself, and the huge surface area due to the pores. Actual coal has a pretty low surface area for its volume.
I really don't understand why people keep trying to shoehorn epaper and netbooks into the same category. I wish apple luck, and I think i might get iPad if i didn't already have an apple laptop: iPad + iMac would cover more use cases than Macbook + iMac, and cost less as well*, although just a macbook + generic LCD external monitor covers a lot of those cases as well.
*presuming of course, an all-apple home.
But it's not an ebook reader, and the Kindle is not the only e-reader, nor is it the only widely-held e-reader. Sony has a number of mature offerings, and Barnes & Noble's device looks very interesting, although it can't possibly have the numbers to compete with amazon yet, it's only two months old and it's been sold out for one and a half of those months.
I think publishers would be making a mistake if they think they can play apple and amazon against each other in this case, or if they think that trying to do that worked for them in the last case (e-music)
Supporting a hypothesis of "Quantum Immortality" an obvious alternative to the simulation hypothesis, with references to the anthropic principle.
If every possible universe exists in quantum superposition, then I am experiencing this one because it is the one in which I live the longest, or the one in which I never cease to exist.
I think that one thing for-profit corporations would do (presuming someone is buying manned space launches. If there's no market they won't do anything.), is look at the costs and turnaround time and realize that they would need to have more vehicles if they want more frequent launches.
Then they'll realize that it's stupid to spend money on sending stuff to space only to bring it back, so you only bring back the stuff you absolutely need to instead of a whole freakin' rocket. Which would lead them to the conclusion that single-use rockets are both less expensive per launch and inherently parallelizable.
They should be safer, too, although the numbers at the moment still suggest otherwise, and also that "safer" is a relative proposition: in the history of manned space flight, a 1:50 failure rate with loss of crew seems to be the economically acceptable risk factor.
When you create laws that make the douchebag move the rational choice, you can't get upset when rational people choose that course of action. In fact, only irrational people will choose otherwise...
One of the goals of a government and legal system is to align "my best interest" with "our best interest" where they are not aligned.
Is it possible to do the same thing in Windows? OSX? Neither relies primarily on an X server, so I can see how it might make things more difficult. I know I would certainly like to be able to use screen zooming separately on the separate monitors (on OSX, which doesn't handle screen zoom very well if you're using dual: it zooms the combined desktop, and depending on settings, re-centers the screen if you perform an action like clicking a link)
The only downside is that you have to take your five hundred dollar handheld computer into a restaurant where you eat greasy things with your fingers...

You're including, as part of "british history," a French fantasy novel?

Wouldn't it have been easier just to like to the passage: Luke 10:23-37?
Or at least paste it with formatting? \x0a's are one of the least expensive bytes, after all.
To one sig fig, it is. You can't talk about the value of pi without some discussion of representational accuracy.
For example there are some situations where it would be entirely reasonable to cancel (g) and (pi^2) using mks units.
