I ran the quote through the "Lost in translation" babelfish mangler (http://www.tashian.com/multibabel/) to see if it could offer an clues. It went from this:
It depends. If it's the game that everyone is expecting then, yes. For us it's about making a proper impact on the platform. It has to be something with huge significance, so we won't be rushed.
... to this...
It depends. If it is the game, of that one then examines everything.
For us he we are extreme giving who we formed to a U.S.ABLE effect in
the platform. You must be something with enormous solidity, therefore
we who you are not fallen.
Yeah, it makes about the same amount of sense. The last sentence seems to have a deep philosophy to it.
Your car should have used oil. It should have used between one and two quarts every 3000 miles. Mazda's RX (rotary experiment) cars use oil by design to keep the apex seals lubricated. The RX8 has oil injectors that squirt very small amounts of oil on the intake side (I think it's near the intake side). The older RX7s had them as well.
Right now the only store that has a single XBox 360 within 10 miles of where I live is a Target, and it's the Core system, so no hard drive and component video cables. I know this because I called about 15 stores this afternoon. I've been waiting to find the Premium bundle, but they sell out within hours at every store they arrive at, and then are out of stock for at least a week or two. The core systems are usually gone in a day or two. It's been that way for weeks now. So, yeah, I'd say there are "stocking issues".
While we're on the topic of pennies- I have a whole bunch of steel pennies my dad gave to me that were stamped out during WWII. I guess the government decided that the copper should be used for bullets instead of pennies. Here's a link with some more info: http://www.usmintquarters.com/steelcents.htm
I'm in the same boat, although I buy music to support the artists who create it, not necessarily the industry as a whole. Last weekend I listened to most of the new 'Guero' Beck album in a coffee shop, and liked what I heard. I was going to pick it up this week, but now I'm a little wary of purchasing anything from a Sony partner (in this case, Universal Music Group).
Maybe you'll see this reply.... maybe you won't. Sorry it's late. The filtered images the rovers capture are post processed by the JPL at NASA after they've been received. Basically, each layer is an additive... all done with some fancy image software. It's very much like that Russian who took some great color photos in the early 1900's (yes, early 1900's). Actually, it wasn't until recently that the actual color filter plates were combined to create color photos. Check it out! http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/
Actually, they are MASSIVE 1 megapixel cameras. The reason I said MASSIVE (in CAPS!) is that the CCD on them is.5 inches square, which is HUGE for a 1 megapixel camera. That means it captures a lot of light and there is very little 'bleed' from one pixel to the next, and it cuts down on the noise in the image. Not only that, each pixel is single color and there are ELEVEN (!!) color filters that can be put in front of the CCD to capture different wavelengths and generate amazing true color images. Their cameras are very very cool.
From wikipedia - "In May 2005, scientists urgently call nations to prepare for a global influenza pandemic that could strike as much as 20% of the world's population." The flu the World Health Organization and CDC fear the most right now is bird flu. Specifically one similar to the H5N1 virus that was mentioned in the article. It has "a mortality rate of over 50%". I guess Taiwan is taking them seriously.
Funny, I've never seen that little checkbox in my tax software. I'll look for it next time, though. I did not want that tax cut that I got a few years ago, thanks. I help feed homeless people with a lot of my tax return rather than putting more money towards a war that I didn't think needed to be fought in the first place, thanks. I think the USA on its present path is falling apart. I'm sorry you don't see it that way. I do write my congresspeople, thanks. They just don't seem to listen. On a rare occasion I get the auto-gen'd written reply (real paper snail mail!) that tells me there is at least one computer on the other end that is directing my emails to a place other than/dev/null. You must watch Fox "News" a lot. Have a nice weekend:-)
Wreck everything I care about! NASA, the environment, US image in the world, the value of my paycheck, etc etc etc. Mod me troll, flamebait, offtopic, whatever... but as far as I'm concerned that man has been afflicted with a strage version of the Midas touch- everything he touches turns to shit. Setting lofty goals at NASA and then cutting science missions and the budget is a brilliant idea. Oh, wait, no it isn't.
I never had a vacation because we did not have the same benefits as them but did the same work.
How is that HP's fault? That sounds like the sweatshop contractor company screwing you over. Adecco, Manpower, etc... all have horrible policies like that to squeeze as many pennies as they can out of your contract. You just become a conduit to fill their pockets.
Plus, at home, I don't get scantily-clad babes serving me free drinks
Don't you mean scantily-clad ancient crones serving free water with a hint of color that might be booze (at least, you hope is some kind of booze because water really shouldn't be that color)?
The width of the paper may be of no consequence, but the length is. That's my point. The paper still has to travel the length of A4. 4x the surface area with only two heads and still able to maintain the same print speed? Something doesn't add up. Assuming constant paper path velocity, 150ppm A6 == 75ppm A4.
Check out this wiki article on paper size:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_sizes
Okay, 150ppm for A6. How wet are those pages? And A6 is a very small piece of paper (about 1/4 the surface area of 8.5x11). My guess is that if you wanted a somewhat dry, smear proof 8.5x11 piece of paper, the speed of that Brother printer would be at most 30-40ppm (which is still fast for ink!).
Is your credit card number copyrighted? How about your SSN number? No? Then you have nothing to worry about. This ruling covers copyrighted material, not confidential information. That's a whole other ballgame. I think your private info is still safe (although with all the security leaks lately regarding personal account info, I'd question how safe it actually is).
It doesn't work that way. You'd be uploading. That's different... downloading now costs $5/month for as much as your bandwidth can deliver and your hard drive can hold. So, given your analogy, if we apply the rule that everyone who downloads is worth a season ticket, the people you'd upload your Maverick's games to would each be a season's ticket worth of potential income. Thus you would owe the Mavericks: (season ticket cost) * (number of uploads)... or each person who downloaded would owe the Maverick's some money... either one would work out in the end.
Ummmm... do you know much about how you actually digest food? Coke is less corrosive that what is naturally found inside you. If your stomach can't handle a 12oz Coke or Pepsi you probably have serious problems that require immediate medical attention.
"Sunset Clauses" are common practice when making law. I think it would have been a bigger suprise if there wasn't one on a law change of this magnitude.

Yeah, I think that thing is vapor-wear.

Sure you were... in a free market economy you vote with your hard earned money!
That's the reason they lost my vote, too. I wonder why this isn't a bigger issue in this discussion? Somebody mod the parent up!

I didn't see HP mentioned in the article. Only Texas Instruments.
