Your counting seems to be a bit off -- up/down is only one degree of freedom, not two. I would submit that open/close email is also only one degree of freedom.
I haven't RTFA, but by your examples I count only two degrees of freedom.
What the hell are you talking about? The article appears on the website for CANADIAN BUSINESS MAGAZINE. I'm not sure how the author could have an American bias....
I'll be the last one to criticize him for smoking dope
Looks like you're the first in this forum at least. I don't see how his personal habits have anything to do with his credibility as an expert on the music industry.
Why don't you come up with some counter-points to his arguments, rather than just saying "He smokes dope, so he must be hallucinating all this stuff about the music industry..."
Probably more damaging is the fact that the music industry he's most familiar with is that of the 1970s, not that of the contemporary industry. Sure, he's involved, but as a veteran/player, not as an up-and-coming musician.
Quite the opposite, as a veteran he is in a perfect position to comment on how the industry has changed over the last 35 years. See, older people often accumulate, through experience, this thing called "wisdom".
Pretty much all computer stores (except the big chain stores) here in Toronto charge 3% extra for credit card transactions. The competition is too stiff to go adding in a 3% blanket mark-up to everything just to cover credit transactions, so they only charge it for people who insist on using credit.
Nobody cares because everyone has a debit card, and the 3% premium doesn't apply to debit -- the banks charge the card user, not the merchant for debit transactions...
Be careful what you wish for -- the outgoing Conservative government here in Ontario left a nice fat deficit for the new Liberal government to clean up and had lied about the size of it for months before the election.
One thing to keep in mind about the 3 to 4 cup recommended limit -- they mean "cup" as in the liquid measure, ie. 250 mL. One large coffee, depending on where you get it, can easily have more than 2 cups in it...
Don't you find it disconcerting that in Topology the definition for an open set in a metric is a union of open balls, but an open set in a topologcial system is definied simply as that which exists in the topology?
Sorry to nitpick, but no I don't find that disconcerting. Given a metrizable topology, it is a matter of definition that the open balls generate the topology. That is how the metric topology is defined.
All you need to define a topology is a set that has a certain collection of subsets that satisfy certain properties. We call that collection of sets the "open" sets because it's a generalization of the open balls in euclidean metric space.
There is no contradiction between the general notion of a topology and the specific notion of the metric topology.

Don't be so thick -- you're reading the summary wrong. What the poster meant was "motherboards based on the 925 and 915 chipsets".
"12" for example is nice in being dividible by 2,3,4 and 6 where our familiar 10 is only dividible by 2 and 5.
I believe you mean divisible.
Just the fact that you have an infinite set of numbers doesn't mean that anything and everything will be true about those numbers.
The set {2,4,6,...} is infinite, but it only contains one prime.
I found it interesting that they did NOT mention the Internet or P2P file sharing as a cause for poor music sales.
I watched it too. Actually they did mention it. For about 20 seconds. Maybe you were in the bathroom. :-P

Way to preview-check that link. Unfortunately, Grover doesn't run an online grocery service.
despite the fact that all its components are now exposed to the air, the 1988 Macintosh SE which forms the heart of this piece still works just fine.
uh, yeah, i'm sure glad my computer is in a vacuum chamber, that darn air that's everywhere could get inside the components...

Well, at least following the meltdown of housing prices during the real-estate crash of 2009.
An exponentially increasing world population and a finite supply of real estate do not make for a real estate crash.
At least not until we terraform mars...

3ddesktop does something similar to your description using OpenGL animation.
in this case it means 2-for-1.
the live recording of the event that is being produced for prosperity
of course the concert is for prosperity -- prosperity of the band and promoters...
I think you meant posterity.
Probably all that proves is that Redhat users post to message boards asking for help more often.

Did you RTFA?
Straight from the article:
The catch: computer chips would be designed to pass Soviet quality tests and then to fail in operation.
While the main anecdote of the article is about bogus software, computer chips are mentioned.
