Which is going to happen to that retail store whether or not the devices are bought through them. Why not get a piece of the action while your business is failing anyway?
If your selling enough kindles to make that 10% actually mean something then you have enough walk in traffic to not need that 10% incentive. Not to mention, when you sell a kindle to your bookstore patron you are pushing your patrons to use Amazon instead. You just told your customers to go ahead and make your future purchases with Amazon because it's okay I get a cut.
I think this is really targeted towards book blog sites that provide links to Amazon and not to real brick-and-mortar bookstores.
Skype calls would be similar to sat phone conversations. There will be delays between your question and his reply but the conversation itself should be fine (or at least usable). You can see this demonstrated during news reports when they interview a reporter in a remote wilderness via Skype.
It's only been reported that a higher percentage of people who are homeschooled graduate from college compared to their non-homeschooled counterparts (66.7% home schooled versus 57.5% non-homeschooled)(source: US News and World Report). Of course this only looks at homeschooled people who were accepted into college and does not take into account the entire homeschooled population. The statistics that pro-homeschool sites tout are the ones that have qualifiers in them like the us news statistic that only looked at homeschoolers that attend college. I haven't found the percentage of homeschool students that continue their education after high school equivalency.
It makes sense that homeschool do better than the overall population of public school. After all, only 2.9% (2009) of the school age children were home schooled. Their household tended to have both parents and at least one of them being a professional in a field and more than half of the homeschooled had a household income greater than $50,000/yr (2003). The traditional educational system is "burdened" by students with economic, mental or social disadvantages not found in large numbers in the homeschool population. If I limit the population of non-homeschooled students to similar demographics within the ed fast facts, I get close to the same completion percentages as the homeschooled population.
In other words: Homeschooling in of itself will not magically make you a better student. However if you were homeschooled then the odds are greater that you come from a two parent household that values an education which makes you more likely to succeed at least academically.
Most Americans who care enough to have an opinion actually approve of Edward Snowden.
The Pew Center for the People and the Press found that while 49% of the people believe the release of the information is helpful (versus 44% believing it harms), 54% of all people surveyed believe the US should go forward with a criminal case against Snowden.
I can understand why you feel the way you do since according to the same poll for people under the age of 30, 60% of those surveyed believe the release of the information is helpful. Despite that 60% helpful opinion, people under the age of 30 was evenly divided over the question of the US going forward with its criminal case against Snowden.
"The political environment"? When did that become synonymous to "the people"?
Ever since the US has been a republic and not a direct democracy which would be since the birth of our nation. Each representative acted with their constituents fears and desires in mind. Many of them were reelected.
Immediately after the attack, the support for some retaliation might have been pretty high, but you really think it still is?
It wasn't just the desire for retaliation, there were very loud calls to investigate why the government did little to prevent the attack. People demanded answers from their representatives and the representatives acted accordingly. If public opinion polls are to be believed, it appears the desire for more security at the expense of some civil liberty is still there.
Add in the mess that is ports and the hours you have to spend to get a decent environment for almost any programming language, and it's pretty far off fitting my definition of a UNIX at least. Let's see, on my computer, the time it takes to install python 3, including downloading and me answering "yes, I want to install it":
Seriously? Ports? Well there's your problem right there!
Afterward when you want to install something like Python 3 then all you need to do is type "brew install python3". Another neat feature which is not currently found in apt or yum is if you want to visit the home page of the package you can simply type "brew home python3".
You do realize that in this case, 'potential enemies' refers to the entire population of the US?
You may be surprised to find out that is not actually the case. A vast number of the US population demanded that we should give up some of our civil liberties in exchange for great security.
I argued against the idea but the political environment immediately after the 9/11 attack demanded that the government do everything possible to protect its citizens no matter the cost in money or civil liberties.
To be fair, Python 3 isn't quite mature enough to switch over from Python 2. It is now better with Python 3.3 and the reintroduction of some language features that make it easier to port the Python 2 programs up to Python 3. I wouldn't make much of an argument about Apple not moving to Python 3 by default. In fact, I would have been more concerned if they had.
Python 3 can be downloaded from the webs or even better installed with Homebrew.
I would not make a big deal about the C compiler not being installed by default either. Xcode is a simple and free download from the Mac App Store if you need it. It's true that Linux may have gcc installed by default, but in most distributions you still need to install the "development group" or "build essentials" to install make, autoconf, other build utilities and some kernel headers.
I think the argument over "real" Unix and Linux is pretty silly
Never mind I just found it. You have to right click the event in the calendar itself, but you can't change it within the info/edit box (where you would likely like to make the change).
I'm blessed since I haven't ran into that. I have noticed that I'm no longer able to move events between calendars anymore or at least as easily as before. I've noticed this on Google Calendar for Android too.
I think this has more to do with the Guardian milking the greatest value out of the Snowden file. The longterm placement in the news is just a side effect.
If news about Iraq, Afghanistan, Immigration, or any controversial topic are any indication it won't take long for news fatigue to set in and this will just be one of those "yea yea we know" stories that get pushed onto the back page.
Frequency coordination is already done at the state level to a certain degree. Vermont Public Radio, for example, hired a guy and bought expensive software to perform propagation prediction so they could buy up as many frequencies as possible for low power translaters beating out the other stations (of which there aren't very many this being Vermont).
That is not frequency coordination by any stretch of the imagination. That is just a public radio station using low power transmitters to provide service to most of the state without causing undo interference to other broadcasters. The propagation software was used to plan where and what frequency should be used. The FCC is still involved and provides the license required for FM broadcast.
A close associate of mine is the amateur radio frequency coordinator for the state of Vermont. He's responsible for coordinating repeater frequencies in conjuction with his counterparts in other states (and Candada) as necessary.
Amateur radio frequency coordination has more to do with repeater frequencies and not general communications. While your local repeater committee may provide the necessary frequency coordination that prevents VHF and UHF repeaters from stepping on each other, it is still the FCC's job to provide enforcement of wireless regulations.
When people are unhappy with their choice of computers they make it their life's mission to make other people feel bad about their choice too. Just ignore him.
It does look huge. It only directly caused one death (plant employee) and the second death was from a fire fighter having cardiac arrest at the scene. I would say that this doesn't even come close to justifying the hyperbole of "One LNG storage facility exploding could rival a nuclear weapon detonation". The cleanup cost was only 1.8 million CAD and about a day's worth of inconvenience to the surrounding community.
Actually you can blame Joe Boehner for following the "Hastert Rule" and not allowing the budget bill to come up for a vote even though there was enough support for it to pass in the first place.
Partisan politics aside, you can't rule your house in an undemocratic manner and expect people to take you seriously when you blame the other party for all the trouble.

let me introduce you to homebrew:
To Install just cut and paste The bash command line given on the page

Why the insecurity with Linux? No one is attacking Linux. People are pointing out that OS X Maverick is more than a bug fix release.
I'd thought the fact that Mavericks introduced a couple of new bugs to the mix would be proof enough that it was not a "bug fix" release.
Because I can buy CDs on clearance and I like CDs. Why don't you like the same stuff that I do?
Dude where's my Lenovo?!?!

I don't understand his problem either. I recently upgraded to Mavericks and haven't noticed any issue with iCal or Apple Mail using my GMail account.
Thanks for the image (gag). He said "nudes for nerds" not "nudes of nerds". ;)

I never bought the idea of execution as a deterrence but fully subscribe to the idea of execution as punishment.
It looks like some people never heard of the ModBook Pro.
