"Shareholder value" is a mistake. The profit should be invested in the company, not given to the shareholders. Shareholders have no interest in innovation and company longevity, only in profit. Top companies invest in themselves, mediocre companies in dividend.
I wonder, are the global warming deniers the same that are rushing to get at the resources in Greenland and the Arctic Ocean and the Northern Passage? Then, aren't they expecting the pole to freeze over again soon, making the effort pointless?
I just found some flowers starting to bloom that I didn't expect to do so until early March. Probably just 'chance', like a fair number of years in the last decade...
Ever since I used speech recognition software for a while for entering text, I have worried that it would become popular and take us back to the noisy days of typewriters. Except this time for people talking to their electronic devices all the time.
I recently bought a zoomfloppy to connect a 1571 drive to USB: http://store.go4retro.com/products/ZoomFloppy.html I'm up to about 200 C64/C128 floppies from around 1990 backed up, and about 90% still work.
The Dutch national library has been storing every book and magazine published in Holland since 1974 (and has the majority of works published before that), now about 100km of paperwork. Digitisation is under way. http://kb.nl/index-en.html

So how will the fertility rates decline, according to those models?
The population will peak, and then stabilize or decline. I worry if it will be because of careful planning of fertility and resources, or by running out of resources. Agriculture is fed by energy, mostly oil, and that's ever harder to extract from the ground. But I guess I am a fucktard for even worrying about it.
Why should we expect a worse sun spot maximum than previous maxima? Nowhere in the two linked articles does it say anything about why it would be worse than 2006. They don't even talk about the unusually long sun spot miminum we've had. I was hoping for some science about how that might affect the coming maximum...

The man in the video mentions that, when daylight is insufficient to light up the lines, a tiny bit of electricity is used to make it glow.
More interesting that your content, is who you share it with.
They map out who sends what to whom, to find interest networks and classify people:

At least this way his 'school' got slashdotted.

... because none of us expected it.
Except when you are, like me, Cardinal Ximinez.
Daily I wish people would indeed stop doing this.

€600 ($820) for a basic device, about €1200 ($1640) for a good device, and up to €2500 ($3420) for a superior hearing aid in Holland:

The US price situation looks like a cartel to me then.

I think this book will do well with the young masses of the ADHD persuasion.
I wonder what mental and dental health effects they find now that most people's mouths never stop moving anymore.
