The channels that would be affected are: Comedy Central, CMT: Pure
Country, Logo, Palladia, MTV, MTV 2, MTV Hits, MTV Jams, MTV Tr3s,
Nickelodeon, Noggin, Nick 2, Nicktoons, Spike, The N, TV Land, VH1,
VH1 Classic, and VH1 Soul.
Spike and Comedy Central get a good amount of traffic, and for those that have kids there are a number of heavy hitters in that list
fine, then he GAINED the depreciation that would have accrued on the alternate music player that he would have had to buy last year in the absence of the Zune
The author acctually says that the increase in WOW''s share is probally not due to rising useage rather increase in GamerDNA registrations. He also said that GW has a higher than average users with GamerDNA.
it's a she actually, the article is posted by Michael Zenke but it says at the top "Written by the highly talented Sanya Weathers", which perhaps ought to merit a mention that she worked at EA/Mythic for 6 years
mini-vans were the rage before SUVs, and full-size vans and station wagons were pretty popular before that. big vehicles will always be desirable to people, they buy a vehicle big enough to carry their largest expected load. it happens to be SUVs now instead of mini vans or station wagons because that allows people to scratch that same itch while pretending that they're driving something "cooler" than what their parents drove.
that's all news that is true, this article is not actually true:
Said [Trend Micro's] Mr Ferguson: "If users can find an alternative browser, then that's good mitigation against the threat."
But Microsoft counselled against taking such action.
"I cannot recommend people switch due to this one flaw," said John Curran, head of Microsoft UK's Windows group.
He added: "We're trying to get this resolved as soon as possible.
so it's not actually Microsoft that's suggesting that people switch browsers, Microsoft has only "urged people to be vigilant while it investigated and prepared an emergency patch to resolve it."
Why is there no active after-market for diamonds? It is estimated that the public holds about 500 million carats of gem diamonds - if a significant portion of the public begins selling, then the price of diamond would plummet. To prevent this from happening, the diamond industry spent a huge sum in making diamonds "heirloom" properties to be passed down for generations, keeping the price of diamond artificially high (so people wouldn't be tempted to unload them for fear of losing money) and discourage jewelers from buying diamonds from the public.
arguing about apps pricing being too high or too low is pointless, if they really are too cheap than most of the developers will move on to another platform where they can make money and then the people that stick around can start charging more. The free market can't solve everything, but it does a pretty good job of setting prices for non-essential goods.
the parent was accounting for the 3 bosses that make twice as much as the developer who will all take a cut of the money, you have to make more than the 100K that's going to the developer
While this does create a barrier to entry, I've never heard people complaining about paintball or racing as "determined by how much they spend on the game."
I think you need to watch more racing! In the few series where there are only minor limits on equipment (e.g. F1), the top teams absolutely dominate the lower teams and a lot of people don't like that. The other series put all sorts of limits on equipment in order to try to ensure that there is a level playing field
a simple inspection of history will tell you that we can't ever allow there to be a test to determine "who is qualified" to vote. the line has to be drawn fairly concretely into the sand so that there is little chance of a dispute about who can and who can't, otherwise people will abuse that line to marginalize the vote of people who are likely to disagree with them. 18 is as good of a line as any, and if we even tried to make a fair voter test cognitive ability isn't even necessarily a better voting criteria than plain old been-there-seen-that experience
that's not completely different than them selling a non-3G iPhone one year and then selling a 3G iPhone for cheaper the next, why is Apple suddenly the arbiter of consumer value?
with iPhone apps going up and down in price and getting competition from similar apps that release later and cost less, this sort of situation is going to happen all the time. Google just released Google Earth for free on the iPhone supplanting an existing paid competitor, isn't that essentially the same thing?
I don't believe the iPhone yet requires you to apply every latest patch to your phone in order to stay on the network, so it is different because users of your app have the choice to not patch if patching breaks your app. The main theme of the article is that it's not the users' choice whether the cloud gets updated, it will get updated if and when the cloud maintainer is ready to update it (though he doesn't ever mention things like deprecated methods that are frequently used to ensure backwards compatibility) and that maintainer is not you the cloud application developer nor your client the cloud application user.
The author says at the end that this same situation exists with every other cloud computing host though, and that's a part of the article that should have made it into the Slashdot summary
And as for the baby sitter... Virginia's polls close at 7pm, and if/when Obama takes that state, the election is basically over, so you probably won't have to pay her/him much overtime this year.
exactly, I used this same strategy the year that Dewey defeated Truman. I got a great night's sleep while all the suckers stayed up witnessing the inevitable
partisan: 1: a firm adherent to a party, faction, cause, or person; especially: one exhibiting blind, prejudiced, and unreasoning allegiance
IMO the word partisan is almost worthless if it just means that you have a preference in an outcome, because the only subjects about which someone won't have a preferred outcome are things that aren't worth caring about. Being partisan is all about how your preference affects the things that you do. In my mind a media source is partisan if their preference for an outcome colors its reporting of related stories (such as if you bury or spotlight stories based on who they're about), or if they have a special vested interest that is coloring their choice of preferred outcome (their parent company benefiting from the outcome or their viewer niche being dependent on their taking a certain stance).
I don't watch or listen to the BBC enough to know if it meets my definition of partisan, but I don't agree that the fact that they may be pro-Obama means that they're necessarily partisan.
I may be misinformed but how is this any different than a Content Delivery Network (CDN)? I believe these were all the rage years ago (look at the commercial list at the bottom of the article).
Akamai claims that 20% of the internet's traffic flows through their network, so I'd say they're all the rage now
well, he did download the article that he was arrested for distributing from the internet. since "your" would include potential readers in Afghanistan "your rights online" would seem appropriate
all that is true, I'm just saying that it's not true that all languages exist because they fill a performance or ease-of-use niche like the OP suggested
While your skills should certainly be language independent, it is also true that different languages make different things easy. Otherwise, why would we have so many of them?
It seems to me like at least a third of the languages we have exist only because they were fun for someone to make. There are as many reasons to make a new language as there are to make a new Linux distribution, and at least one of those reasons is vanity.

I'm dismayed that they totally overlooked deeper discussions about what a lightsaber can and can't cut. Luckily Yahoo Answers is on the case
what we need is some sort of an all-inclusive list of begats to keep things straight

The BBC isn't a non-partisan source for the USA election. They're very much in the Obama for President camp. (I'm in the UK)
And as for the baby sitter... Virginia's polls close at 7pm, and if/when Obama takes that state, the election is basically over, so you probably won't have to pay her/him much overtime this year.
