Before election: "Republicans are evil! The Democrats will provide the most open and ethical Congress in history! Just you wait, even C-SPAN will be allowed to broadcast live (so that congressman can't edit and revise the record as they already do before it's made public)!"
Can you actually attribute that quote to somebody, or do you just enjoy arguing with strawmen?
Of course, that's 0 economic profits, not 0 accounting profits. The economic measure takes into account opportunity cost, where the accounting measure does not. So even in a market with perfect competition, firms could post what most people think of as profits.
Dean is not actually very far left. He is liberal, to be sure, but not in a bleeding heart, knee-jerk kind of way. He was painted with a far left brush based solely on the fact that he opposed the Iraq war from the beginning.
With VPS you actually do have your own merchant account. But even with that, you need an Internet payment gateway in order to process cards over the Internet; this is what VPS (and authorize.net) is. An Internet payment gateway allows you to use simple TCP/IP protocols (usually a web service) to submit card transactions; it then submits the transactions to the appropriate banks using some non-Internet protocols.
Think of an Internet payment gateway as a card swipe machine for your web site.
While MSN is much nicer to look at and is much more responsive than ICQ, I am amazed that even with this new release, there is *still* no ability to locally rename contacts. You have to view your list by email address or "Display Name", which is something your contact sets and you cannot change. This results in some very unreadable contact lists, as people throw presence information (or other random messages) into their Display Name.
It's nice to know that somebody on my list hates the holidays, but I really wish i didn't have to hover over their display "name" to see their email address, and then figure out who that address belongs to just to see who it is! Really, renaming your contacts is not a feature that should require an add-on.
The problem with Miller trying to say that Kerry is or was against providing supplies for the troops is that Miller, Bush, and Cheney all know that it is simply not true. Matthews was trying to call him on that.
Yes, Kerry voted against the version of the $87 billion dollar spending bill that passed and was signed by the President. However, there was more than one version of this bill. Kerry voted for the version that would have paid for the $87 billion up front instead of borrowing the money (i.e., increasing the deficit and the debt).
To say that Kerry voted against supplying our troops with needed materials is disengenious at best. His vote simply means that we should pay the bill now, and not 20 years from now (us or our kids, depending on your age).
If I recall correctly, Matthews tried to get Miller to clarify his statements in his speech that implied that Kerry would leave the military without adequate supplies. Miller did like this, and ended up saying he wished he could challenge Matthews to a duel. In 2004.
Politicians are very much against being asked real questions and then not being able to get away with talking around a real answer. A interviewer who follows up on a question until he gets an answer is not browbeating or filibustering. He is doing his job.
Verified by Visa does just this. I believe other CC companies will be following suit, so within a few years requiring a password for online credit card transactions will probably be common-place.
It is a good idea to come up with ways to provide incentives for people and companies to produce items which have zero marginal cost. One very successful method has been for the government to grant monopolies (patents and copyrights) on the item created. This allows the creator to charge an economically inefficient price; but now there is incentive. I would be interested in hearing about better ideas that can work on the same scale as monopoly.
It was then they stopped as the band Smashing Pumpkins, to which BC said it wasn't because of issues within the band internally, but that they were tired of competing with "all the Britney Spearses out there" (something like that).
He would later take tha statement back as mostly a joke. He posted on his site:
"Many times I hid things to protect my band mates...for example, its been almost 4 years since I went on my friend tami's radio show and announced that the pumpkins were breaking up...that day, when she asked why we were breaking up, I said something silly like 'I'm tired of fighting britney blah blah'...and it went on to be widely quoted, as if I was breaking up my love, my band, because of some pop star...13 years of my life, and you know, let's pack it in cause their teeth are whiter...by saying that, I was seen as someone who was crying foul, taking his ball, and going home...which was sad cause it wans't true at all...The truth of the matter is is that james iha broke up the smashing pumpkins...not me, not jimmy, but james...did it help that d'arcy was fired for being a mean spirited drug addict, who refused to get help? No, that didn't help keep the band together, not at all...it made it very hard to go on, but we soldier! ed thru it even though our hearts were broken...But d'arcy didn't break up the band, we didn't let her...and jimmy didn't want to break up the band, not at that time...and I would have gone on forever...the smashing pumpkins were essentially my entire life...a dream I still believe in...many friends at that time suggested letting james leave, so jimmy and I could continue on under the name...but I was too loyal to the man I had started the whole thing with, and I protected him until the very end...right up until the last show on dec 2, 2000, when he thanked d'arcy on stage, but not the 2 men standing next to him...and I was loyal until he left the metro without even saying goodbye, or an 'its been great boys!', or a simple 'I love you' to us...no, james iha left the metro that night without saying goodbye to the 2 people he had won and lost and traveled the world with...so I won't be protecting him anymore...and I won't be protecting a whole lot of other people anymore...not because I don't love them (I do!!) but because ! I love myself too...I want to say one more thing, and that is I appreciate you reading this...+I want to remind you that I love you...God has given me the strength to say that to you, and I hope that you don't hide who you are...does it make me sad that I have hid myself all these years? No, it was what I had to do to survive, or at least what I 'thought' I needed to do...but surviving is not enough...we all deserve to flourish, and to know happiness and joy...that is my new dream...the smashing pumpkins gave me that, and I am eternally grateful...especially to those that shared in the dream with me...even if you bought just one cd, or came to a show, you gave us that chance...we thank you for that...even if we don't always know how to show it...be well!!"
This is no joke. Once when I was covering my old boss's office, I thought I would try to play around with the iMac in the corner, see how it was. Literally 30 minutes later, I had the thing booting!
Well, it's quite obviously because a Support Vector Machine is inherently linear, and to make it nonlinear, you must insert a nonlinear kernel which you need to select by hand.
"This invention provides a selection technique, which makes use of a fast Newton method, to produce a reduced set of input features for linear SVM classifiers or a reduced set of kernel functions for non-linear SVM classifiers."

Most likly they conclude that with a status quo, they will continue to literarily print money
Why is it that people insist on using the word "literally" when they mean figuratively?
