And Apple's on track for 30 million this quarter (10/1 through year's end) vs. 5 million Galaxy SIIs its first quarter, so about.8 of an order of magnitude.
For those who don't know, she's an American portrait photographer known for such iconic photographs as the 1980 portrait of John Lennon and Yoko Ono with Yoko laying on the floor and John, nude, against her in a fetal position and as chief photographer for Rolling Stone in the 1970s.
Meaning, for example, benefits contracts negotiated in General Motor's heyday but expected to be fulfilled when GM was all screwed up before the bankruptcy. If GM is having trouble and can't meet it's obligations it doesn't matter one whit if the the rich are richer as a whole if most of those are not GM executives. Based on the number of GM employees from 2004 (last I could find quickly), 324,000, each million dollars of savings works out to about $3.09 for each employee. And that overstates each beneficiary's share, since it doesn't include retirees. Even taking $100 million from executive pay, etc. only gives each beneficiary about $308.64. It doesn't matter to GM that a bunch of people in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street are getting rich when they're trying to pay their obligations from their own revenues.
In the US individual unions are, in some industries, quite powerful. But, overall union membership is pretty low: about 12% of all workers in 2010. Even the state with the highest union membership rate, New York, is only about 24%. Unions are also overrepresented in the public sector, at about 36% versus about 7% for the private sector.
Unions in the US can be quite powerful, but with limited reach: pretty much only to those employers with union contracts.
IMO, it's not that unions are a inherent problem. The problem is short-sightedness which resulted in employers that gave in too readily to union demands based on good-times balance sheets leading to benefits obligations that can't be met in lean times. This biggest issue caused by the unions is an unwillingness to reduce benefits to match the current economic state.
You mean in the universe where he, in his red Ford Explorer, almost ran my girlfriend and me down in the parking lot of a local shopping center? I think the universes almost crossed that day.
There's plenty of evergreens in the Middle East. Ever seen the Lebanese flag with the Lebanon cedar on it? Grows from Turkey down into Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel.
Yep. When attached to the corporate network my company issued laptop takes near 8 minutes to boot to the windows desktop. And about 30 seconds longer than that to shut down.
I find it easy to believe a grand jury delivered an indictment, however -- they are just juries and the prosecution always does its level best to pick the least brilliant people they can find to parrot the prosecution's position.
It's also worth noting the difference between a Grand Jury and a Petit (Trial) Jury. A Grand Jury only hears the prosecutors side and only decides if there's enough evidence to proceed with a trial. It's not until a defendant is before the Petit Jury that he can offer evidence or attack the prosecution's evidence.
I never claimed to be an engineer. I'm, at best, a layman with a little bit of knowledge. AFAIK, dB is perfectly valid when talking about dynamic range, even in audio engineering literature. For example, Eargle, Handbook of Recording Engineering (2003): "Music in a concert hall is normally perceived over a range that doesn't exceed about 80 dB, and speech is normally perceived over and even narrower range of about 40 dB." And, even more importantly, I don't think it affects what I wrote qualitatively all that much.
Effectively the maximum level is set by the format and is generally define as 0 dB. A format also has a dynamic range, which measures how much quieter a sound the format can capture compared to the maximum. For audio CDs this is -96 dB. The loudness wars refer to taking advantage of the fact the volume the human ear perceives is proportional to the mean level and that music would be recorded with the same maximum level but lower levels mapped higher (e.g. a -40 dB sound is compressed to -20 dB) will sound louder.
This proposal, presumably, addresses this by measuring the volume of a track by measuring the something similar to the mean level. It a little more complicated than that, but I think that's the thumbnail.
Not really. A national chain has to keep track of the rates just where their stores are located. An online seller would have to keep track of it for each jurisdiction with a sales tax and match customers to the jurisdictions: a chain with 200 stores would need to keep track of, at most 200 rates, most likely far fewer.

There are at least 117 just for California.
That's not how I read it. Per the article, "After the museum fire and cleanup, garbage trucks were sent in to haul off the remaining debris, and Anderson claims he was combing through it when he discovered the plaque, which was coated with a thick layer of melted materials."
Considering the square is roughly a kilometer from the Nile, I think there's plenty of water. Don't know about the water quality, so misting my not be the answer, but the evaporative towers others have mentioned should have fewer concerns with this.

it wasn't until the 14th amendment in 1868 that the Constitution started specifying what the states can and cannot do.
More accurately, that's when they started specifying what the states can not do. None of the amendments says "you can do this", they're all "you can not do x".
Voting age 18? All it says is a state can not set an age restriction higher than 18. A state can set the lower limit for voting to 16, 14, or even 10 if it decided to. Letting un-naturalized aliens vote in federal elections? The constitution says nothing about this at all and so is constitutional (and, indeed, was allowed in the past by numerous states).
...it happened to me once. I was in Kentucky and the intended recipient was in Iowa. Contacted the guy had a short conversation and discovered he was a first cousin twice removed of mine (son of my great-grandfather's brother) I'd never met.

No. Whoever is doing it.
He says he did it while garbage trucks were there collecting the debris.
