It looks nice on the numbers and sounds easily defensible. However we all know this is untrue. When they find 1.000 Rollex watches, this is not a loss of 1.000 Rolex watches. The problem is that it most likely also will not be 0. So it is somewhere between 0 and 1.000. But where.
Obviously the 1.000 sounds nicer, especially when you put a value next to it. The same can be said when drugs are cought in large quantities and the street value is quoted. Well, sorry, but the value is wholesale value, not street value.
So even if I downloaded 100 albums, that does not mean I would have bought them otherwise, because I would not.
It just looks nicer having large numbers. It would be pretty stupid to say: We cought somebody and he did cost us 15USD and that is why we go to court.
That would be my second guess. My first guess would have been ftp://ftp.firefox.com and that one does not work. And I would only guess the ftp part because I have knowledge. Many people have no idea what ftp is.
150 WPM is certainly possible. The world record typist could maintain an average 150 WPM rate for 50 min. She had bursts as high as 212 WPM.
And this is why most often there is no real gain.
The speed is very good for the ancient use of a keyboard where the secretary typed first by reading her steno and later by listening to the dictaphone. However I very seldom see people just typing letters all day long. The closest I have seen is data entry and there you still have a lot of numbers used and not just text.
Most of the time people type, use the mouse, type, click a bit, enter numbers and letters mixed.
re-typing a book is what the keyboard is good for. Coding or current daily use isn't one of its strong points. Even with the thing I wrote here, I wrote a few words, stopped, thought, deleted and re-typed. If I would type twice as fast, the whole would not increase that much. Guessing is that about 25% is actual typing. The rest is re-reading and thinking.
I am looking at downsides of light pollution. 1) You can not see the stars. 2)... I was tempted to add "waste of energy" and there are things to be said for it, yet that is not the downside of light polution, that is the downside of having lights turned on.
And then when they are the correct age, please let them go without any experience. I know of a girl who was brought up like this. She was not allowed to ever have boys over and never was allowed to go to girl friends.
When she was 18, she suddenly was allowed to do all this, because she was old enough. She became the school slut within weeks. Now I feel sorry for her, because she was absolutely not ready for this.
Kids should learn to fall and hit their head (emotionally as well). This is what growing up is about. Learning your boundaries.
of course Best Buy has access to your home address, via your credit card.
This would not be the case in Belgium. In fact it is even illegal to do it that way. If I give only my credit card details, all they will have is the following information: Last 4 numbers of the credit card (We are not allowed to keep the credit card number anywhere) The name of the credit card holder and the expiration date. From the transaction itself the time, amount, item and card. (e.g. visa) Some extra information related to the payment itself an the communication concerning the payment.
No link there with the users address. So unless we link it elsewhere with the address, we would have no idea what that would be. Calling the company will result in nothing but wasted time for both as they are not allowed by law to tell us the address.
As your signature shows, you are aware there are other countries then just the USofA. So there it would be 7. Where it is required to keep for 30 years, it should be 30. Some countries say 5, other perhaps 10.
Just look at how long the hardware copies should be kept and then just do the same for the rest. That way there is no doubt.
I do almost the same. As I use mainly microSD it is a very small box for pills. In it also an SD adapter and a USB adapter. This is how you can keep your stuff. If things still get mixed up, buy some paint and give each of them a different color. You only need to have three colours for 4 people.
For example: pink for the daughter, blue for the son, white for the wife and no colour for the husband. That way marking them is a job of each owner and if they forget, the item becomes automagicaly dads. Mark your stuff or its mine worked in the past and lessons are very fast learned. The kids might hate you for it, but you are not there to become their friend, but to give them valuable lessons for the future.
Keeping their stuff to themselves will learn them ow to organize things on other levels as well.
As a private enterprise, they have the right to restrict what they want.
I restrict my enterprise for the Gay Jewish African-American community. Do you think I should be prosecuted or just be able to say that I am a private enterprise?
except in some states where voting and gun ownership is revoked for felons, but, not in all states
If you can take away part of their rights after a sentence, why not the rest as well? I think it is horrible that basic rights are take away after their punishment.
Wether it was barren or not is unfortunately beside the point. The question is whether they should have been allowed to start prospering it in the first place.
If I buy flooded land in Florida and you drain it and then put some hotels on it, do you think I will say: darn, why did I not do that, or do you think I will go to court and show my papers that prove I am the rightful owner of that part of land? Oh and thanks for the hotel, that will be mine now as well. You can buy it if you want.
Or perhaps a car analogy: Go to the South and you will see a barren car in somebodies yard. Try to take that and Billy-Bob will shoot you. No matter if he is unable to do anything with it or if he wants to do anything with it. Billy-Bob will shoot you and rightfully so.

And whadayaknow, that URL does not work.

I was tempted to add "waste of energy" and there are things to be said for it, yet that is not the downside of light polution, that is the downside of having lights turned on.
So what other downsides are there?

I live in Belgium where the highway is lighted at night, so don't come here.
http://www.learner.org/jnorth/images/graphics/s/songbird_migration_lights01.jpg might help you to tell you where to go.

They should provide it as long as legally required to keep the data. Yes that might be 30 years in some cases.

Of those 12, how many ONLY run openoffice?

Sure, just ignore many keyboard layouts out there.
There is not enough blood in any male to make any decision if there is something sexual involved.
Honestly, I did not know she was three. (Seen on a I believe tshirthell)
If it is not only drawings but text as well, this is child porn and you are now under investigation.
Spelling nazi!
So if he were a historical figure, how could Islam be older then said figure? Somebody else already pointed out when Islam was started.
Also Jezus is NOT just an historical figure, he is a prophet, just like Mozes or Mohammed. It is that Mohammed is the last one, according to Islam.
Clear to explain to the majority in that region who are Muslims?
Finally we know what the Romans did for us. They caused the Middle East Misery.
