If you're not paying dividends, and you're not growing, but you ARE profiting... where is all that money going? I'd say the shareholders have a right to be upset if a company neither grows nor pays a steady return....
No, you disprove a theory by finding contradictory evidence. A better theory would supplant an existing theory without disproving it. Even without removing it. Newton's laws, for instance, have been supplanted by Einstein's relativity, but they are still quite useful nevertheless....
Certainly... but you're not stuck transporting all the materials on the very track you're building, either, so you should be able to build parts of it simultaneously. There's no reason why it shouldn't take as long as the longest single element (a tunnel perhaps, or particularly tricky bridge).
Protected by, not defined by. At least in theory. And in the text (See amendment 9). Whether you can get a judge to agree or not is now mostly decided - the 9th amendment was apparently only put in there as a joke....
How is "allow the prices to rise to market-clearing levels" a "planned economy"? The other option was, "Fix the price by legislation and put up with the shortages."
Doesn't windows 7 do filesystems properly now? With a single directory tree, and the ability to mount whatever storage you want wherever on the tree you feel needs it?
I somehow doubt that a hard drive manufacturer is maintaining an industrial dive team on the regular payroll. I'm sure that work is contracted out, hopefully to companies who take the proper precautions, and almost certainly to companies who regular dive in contaminated water...
It's an acronym-ish. It means, "Filesystem Check." Which is a boring, utilitarian thing computers have to do every so often. And if done incorrectly, can cause the very problems it's looking for...
Although the ELPH line doesn't allow full manual control, it does have spot-metering and focusing, and allows you to lock the focus and/or the metering. You can also set exposure compensation values. And there is a mode for taking exposures of more than 1 second.
I own a film Rebel that I no longer use due to the dearth of processing options, but I'd found that I generally just took the camera's metering suggestion for "the other one" of either the shutter or aperture stop. Since a pocket camera doesn't really have a whole lot of aperture stop range anyway (I suspect my SD 790 has only two settings....) I think the metering lock is pretty good for the purpose - if you want darker photos, just point the camera at something in the scene that's bright before locking.
There's a lot you can do to play with even a camera that wasn't really designed for fiddling.
New serves another purpose than just warranty - Accessories. I've found that certain accessories become unavailable pretty quickly after cameras are out. Particularly waterproof enclosures with depth ratings suitable for taking on recreational scuba dives. You don't really want to get a used waterproof enclosure, either....
I would still go with recommending the SLR for anything that involves shooting pictures in low light. Those tiny apertures in the point-and-shoot cameras just don't cut it for anything taken indoors in the evening unless you're willing to put up with only getting the nearest 4' in the shot, or having horrible motion blur.
The two rules not taking awful pictures are 1) don't use the highest iso number all the time, and 2) don't use the flash (*)
*unless you're dealing with shadow, or there just isn't going to be enough light to take a picture at all.
It's not like the SLR isn't going to have a "for dummies" mode. Also, there are some good "prosumer" models with large apertures and fixed lenses that aren't quite as big as an SLR that might be a better fit, but their price approaches the low end of the SLR models.....
And what do you have at the choke point - the connection to the outside world? I'll bet it's less than wireless-N can provide.
Who really cares how fast you can move a really big file from one machine in your house to another machine in your house. How often do you even do that?
I thought this was the real question. I just downloaded the app and it is apparently a half dozen rich text help pages and a simple calculator. The most complicated thing (for me, maybe there's an api that does it easily...) is that it can use the location data to maybe get the current temperature.
So, yeah, they probably shouldn't have bothered, AND they paid way too much for what they got. The iPhone app, at least, did not have any noticeable performance issue on my fourth-gen iPod Touch, and looks a little better than the android app screen cap from the article. Although, apparently if the temperature is too low to calculate a risk factor, it uses the message for the highest risk factor...
There are probably templates for this kind of thing. I'd be surprised if it took a single person more than a few days to put together. Maybe a week, counting the "research" needed to pull in information for the help pages.
You can already get encryption of your link between google and yourself - just use https, or imap with ssl. In fact, I'm pretty sure that https is the default for the web viewer now.

Maybe he's both?

I don't see why... UPS doesn't take boxes off the trucks every day like Fedex, so they can afford to be lazy about finding the party to deliver to...

No, you won't get half because you've only got two antennas. 600 Mb/s needs four....
Eh.. Who cares what it does against the unknown threats? We'll figure those out when we find out about them. The known threats are bad enough....
The answer to your question depends entirely on who's money is being used for the purpose....

Close.. You're only off by 10%...1 USD in CAD. But the US dollar ahead of the Canadian dollar at the moment.

Nope. Maximum bit rate from a blu-ray is 54 Mb/s. 802.11g is 54 Mb/s, and 802.11n tops out at 600 Mb/s.
Most TVs have a mode that expands AND crops, so it minimizes the distortion. This might be an acceptable compromise for you.

Aren't you just repeating the backstory to the TV show, "M.A.N.T.I.S"?

It's making calls to a floating point exponent function for constant powers of 10??
The real question isn't whether they paid too much, but whether they should've made the app in the first place....
Wait.. what?

The article is talking about something different.
