Yes, but by that logic, a leap anything added to a year should make that a leap year.. so is this a leap year because we are adding an extra second as other years are leap years because we add a day to it?
Its always bugged me how in a leap year, we have an extra day... but a leap second is an entire extra second... if the terminology were consistent, that would mean a leap yer would equal one extra year.. or that a leap second was some fraction of a second longer than a normal one.
I recall a recent story about NOAA data. How Accuweather had some beef with publicly available weather informaiton, which the tax payers had already paid for, because they were trying to sell it.
I for one do not feel like paying for the same thing twice.
Disregarding send time, consider the read time.
If a person on the receiving end had never seen sms shorthand or m.code before, which do you think would be faster to read? Which would be comprehended faster, again, by a novice to either option.
It really depends on the elasticity of the curve.
Some things you can reduce the price on and gain revenue while others you cannot. The same goes true for raising costs. As the above poster mentioned, its all about the sweet spot.
Instead of mac apple and beatles apple fighting.. why don't they team up and sell a version of the white ipod with an apple graphic on the wheel thats pre-loaded with the beatles' white album.. the marketing writes itself.
As our date system went from 1 BC to 1 AD, the beginning of 1 AD was the beginning of the first AD millennium, century, and decade. There for the beginning of 2001 AD was the beginning of the third millennium and that decades start with the year 1 and end with the year 10. '91 - '00, '01 - '10, '11 - '20
Well, seeing as this decade, century, and millennium all started on Jan 01, 2001, it should be by Dec 31, 2010, as Jan 01, 2011 will be the first day of the next decade.
Next we'll see how people who are used to talking and communicating with others in person in every day life react when they are locked in a well lit room for two weeks with no human contact.
"Of course you can always keep analog POTS (plain old telephone service) around like floppies--just for emergencies--but it'll cost you and tie you down in a number of ways."..I'm not 100% sure if landlines work this way, I would assume so, but I know for cell phones, even a non-activated cell phone can still dial 911. So go ahead and switch to VOIP, even if you don't have a cell phone, keep an old one charged up.. if theres an emergency, you can call 911 on it.

Who the fuck rides around in a car with their hands in their pockets?
the article has a little box of weather information right there with the article of the text wrapped around it.

I submit the alliance challenge of finding Vulcans and starting a Federation of Planets with them.
The idea hasn't already been patented and some company is just waiting for someone else to start producing it so they can sue them.
