It's a "Haute Cuisine" dessert, I think. They sell it at the local boutique over-priced (e.g. organic, etc) food store by me. It doesn't look very appetizing.. do you spit out the wax, or try to eat around it?
I'm not sure retail is the problem. Retail hours tend to be all over the map, from starting way before 8, to ending way after 9pm. Many places are, in fact, already on the schedule you mention. But retail can only ever represent a fraction of the economic activity in most regions - you gotta make the stuff if you want to sell the stuff...
Also, where are you that retail isn't mostly from 11 to 8-9?
In reality most cars are used at the same time periods and are stationary the rest of the day, so the benefits of sharing aren't really there.
Mass transportation is much more realistic.
Yeah, because no planning is given to traffic management, so every business than can choose its hours starts at 8-9 and ends at 4:30-5:30.
Instead of "daylight savings" where those times are just shifted an hour, we should be encouraging businesses to spread out their work-times to average the load on the transportation system, reducing waste by reducing traffic and/or allowing designs closer to the average, rather than forcing designs to handle extreme peak loads.
Indeed, perhaps they would actually flirt with with AMD, considering it as an actual option. If AMD is hungry enough, they might might go in for razor thin margins, or customizations.
And by locking up AMD stock for a period, they not only strengthen an Intel competitor, but also temporarily give intel a headache in the anti-trust arena - they want AMD to be small, but not so small in their market that regulators come sniffing around....
You've just gotten used to the flavor of bottled water
That would be difficult, as I don't drink much bottled water. I mostly drink filtered tap water at home and at work, and unfiltered tap water everywhere else. The filtering step didn't used to be necessary in most of the towns around me.
I suspect that with filters and bottles, the water companies aren't getting complaints about taste, so they're not doing anything about it.
To be fair, most shows deliberately get explosives wrong (and in a way that, hopefully, can't actually detonate) to reduce liability in the event someone tries it at home and it goes horribly wrong...
The magic dust gps tracking recently bugged me a lot, though. I thought people finally had a small idea about how GPS worked, so shows couldn't just make stuff up willy-nilly any more.
It's worse, because it's completely unnecessary - I fail to see how perimeter cameras couldn't have been used as the plot device to make Michael use a Cat's Paw in that episode. Heaven forbid the main character in a spy show should try to keep his face a secret....
Unfortunately, many municipalities have caught on to the scam, and recognizing that people are no longer drinking tap water, or are filtering it themselves, and are becoming lax in their quality standards.
Not so much in terms of safety, as far as I know, but in the last five years or so, I've yet to visit a municipality where the taste hasn't declined *significantly* since the advent of bottled water.
Got it... If you're going to have a catastrophic failure, a coal plant would be marginally better than a nuclear plant. Now, on the the question of continued, successful operation.....
I think you will find, that under iCloud, if you want to sync your pictures and documents, you will still be sending your stuff through a middleman, and if you want to sync more than 5GB, it'll cost you $2/year for each additional GB (in 10GB minimum increments...)
I guess that's better than $99 per year, but still nowhere near as affordable as "free ip lookup for the lifetime of the device" With Bonjour upgraded to send updates to the central server when your IP changes...
The cost of maintaining such a service could easily be built into the price of any of the stays-on-your-desk-plugged-in-all-the-time products apple sells.
And if you sum up the number of hours wasted in the lines (or with the recommended 3 hours ahead of time, instead of a more reasonable 5 minutes + however long it would take to walk from your car to the gate), in aggregate you're killing the time equivalent of many lifetimes. People don't have to die for your actions to add up to to tremendous losses....
What other services? Services like mobile me, which you used to be able to use to sync your contacts and stuff over the internet, which should've been a built-in utility (mac's already come with rsync....), and at best a dynamic ip lookup service akin to dyndns, but instead was structured as an online service where your data actually passed through apple servers so they could charge $99/ year?
Note also, that the CEO good ol' boys club, which prefers a bad CEO to a new one, still hasn't let Carly take the reins of anything important since HP....
Economists probably think that all jobs are equal. But they are not. Someone who grows wheat makes something people can use. Someone who just pushes numbers around only facilitates the people actually making the stuff. One of the goals of a healthy economy is to get the resources spent maintaining agility to a minimum, in favor of actually producing. Unfortunately, it looks like there are some feedbacks that can result in the financial sector growing beyond its healthy size.
One of those feedbacks is government-backed debt like student loans and FHA loans. Sadly, the occupy movement is not interested in controlling those, indeed they wish to expand on all fronts!
I doubt that there would be real price inflation in a full employment situation if those were real jobs (i.e. people making stuff that other people need), and not make-work projects or financial paper pushing. If 80% of the people are munging numbers for some bank or government office or casino and 16% are building and maintaining things, you're going to be in a worse shape than if those numbers are the other way around...
Inflation happens when the money supply increases but the stuff supply does not...
Do you watch your favorite action movies with the villains removed? You're supposed to hate creepers. Hating creepers is one of the things that people love about the game!
Are you sure it's because you don't like the game, and not because of the constant stream of insults, and epithets ushering forth from your vomitous maw? From what I can see, it seems like you've taken "not playing minecraft" to a whole new level of pastime....
I don't know if it's because of the way Java works or whatever, but from what I've heard, it uses 100% of the resources of whatever machine you put it on. That doesn't mean it won't be fine with much, much less, though.
For instance, I've found it runs much, much better if you limit the RAM available to the JVM it runs in using command line settings. That way it doesn't touch the edge of physical ram and have a few fingers out on the disk causing thrashing.

Filtering doesn't change the flavor. It removes the flavor. There isn't supposed to be a flavor to remove....

Which Apple would've been just fine with...
So.. you're saying that AMD backed out, rather than Apple choosing?
Because most new cars are purchased by grown-ups, not teenagers.

Also, Bruce Campbell might have contractual obligations to the show he's currently working on...
Hmm...
So.. no real difference for many of us....

Well, for one thing, you'd have to go through the machine....
Plus, if you were chuck norris, you wouldn't need the pocketknife. You'd just stare down the plane.

Who would take the other side of that bet?
Plenty of charge, actually. It's ionizing. That means it moves charges around.

That kind of cheap service?
