It's hard to tell if it's genetic just by looking at one family. A steady diet of fast food may be more influential than the genes one has, for instance.
That's the big question for me. Will HP just dump the current stock and call it quits? Will they up manufacturing all of a sudden? Will they release the pads in more parts of the world? At first, it appeared that they were just offloading stock to get rid of it, but now all of a sudden, they do a 180 in PR and claim it's a huge success and new batches should be available soon. At US $99 I'd want one, but try getting one in mainland Europe right now....
As it's the activity done for most of the time in bed. I think there's a good chance that masturbating is actually even more popular than intercourse, given "time spent" as the factor to determine popularity. Reading may most likely still beat sex, so I think you're wrong in the factual department. Maybe people wish they'd spend more time in their bed having intercourse, but in reality, they're not doing it.
> How many Android phone were sold to people who wanted an iPhone but couldn't get one?
Probably not so many.
If you really want an iPhone, you can just switch carriers. It's not really that big of a deal. The market simply isn't that limited.
There are more countries on this planet than the US of A. Some of those countries are in fact bigger than the US of A, especially if you combine them. Some of these countries don't have iPhones at all. For an almost accurate map of these countries, please view http://hateusa.narod.ru/ammap.gif After viewing that, remember that only one in thirteen people on this planet is actually living in the US of A. Now tell me again how many people can get an iPhone if they want one and can actually afford it, at over twice the price of an entry level Android phone?
Anyone doing this will never ever be put into a position of trust again. That is, if the potential future employer do a decent check on who's applying for the job. It doesn't matter how mad you are, you will ruin it for yourself if you do anything to harm your former employer.
IANAL, but I'm willing to put a nice cold beer on this law being unconstitutional. The right to gather "news" and freedom of expression, stuff like that. Anyone here knows the details? If it comes to it, I hope groklaw will step in and Streisand this cop all the way to supreme court if he doesn't give.
China, maybe to your surprise, is not part of the USA. They have their own laws. They don't give a rodents rectum about what laws would apply in Alabama when it comes to how they decorate some store in China, since that part of China is not actually in Alabama. If you were able to quote applicable international treaties and maybe even local China law, I'd be all ears. Until then, your argument is not applicable.
Maybe it's your bank that should be losing users. If they don't keep up with browser developments, they most likely will be lacking in their security developments as well? Myself I'd expect chrome, safari and the (almost) latest firefox on the list of supported browsers of any bank that I would take seriously.
When I biked a lot, my tires typically lasted less than 1000 miles. There's quite a footprint in those. Also, those figures on lifetime don't add up to the average bike. They don't make that many miles or live that long, before they get discarded. Even in the Netherlands, where almost everyone owns and rides a bicycle, you don't get over a third or so of these lifetimes or distances traveled.
How about having to admin tux and slowaris from this? You can't even run VMs on it, it's too slow and the VMs freeze because of the full disk encryption plus antivirus.
Sure, you can say "there's your problem", but I don't own it and I refuse the gift, thanks but no thanks. All this stuff is mandatory. I have to stack 2 VPNs on top of each other, just to reach the machines I admin. All of this is mandated by the company that hires me. They really don't give a rat's rectum about the fact that I'll cost them at least twice as much this way, just in lost time. It's company policy and they can't make an exception for the less than 5 percent of workers that have different needs than the worker bees.
To add insult to injury, we now have mandatory laptops, flex workspaces and we have to set up all our stuff every morning and put it in lockers every evening. Try setting up 2 laptops with extra screens every day, including external mice, keyboards and all stands to make it all ergonomically sound. I spend an hour each day just getting my computers to the point where I can start working and putting them safely away when I quit for the day. In the previous situation, that was a total of 0 minutes and 0 seconds. I walked in, logged on and there was my desktop, just like I left it the previous day. All jobs I had still running from my desktop were still there, I didn't even need to open any new apps to see my new e-mails and all that.
Distribution means your virtual machine can be on a number of machines inside a cloud. There's nothing in the definition of a cloud that says it has to be in different locations, or running mirrored copies of your instance. Sure, it's possible, just like it's possible with single machines. When will people stop assuming that "cloud" means "indestructible"? This is exactly what happened before with EC2 and lots were hurt then by the same assumption.
You just take an environment, lock it and make sure you have enough resources for your app to finish in the amount of time required. It's been done all the time. True, it's not a real time OS, but the entire apparatus does the job real time. Most of todays telco stuff is done that way, VOIP, SMS and all those protocols largely run on systems designed this way. True, they're almost never run on Windows, but rather Solaris and Linux, but the principles are the same.
First of all, there are no serious apple servers sold at the moment. Second of all, Oracle is currently stopping support for several of it's competitors hardware platforms. I doubt they will add OSX if they just dumped HP-UX.
I think their smarts are in modeling the environment data such, that they don't have to move gigabytes around for every image. Also, as they claim in TFA, they have a very limited "shade" model. They probably cut a lot of corners when it comes to reflectiveness and secondary light sources and all that.
It would work if the USA government would have any control over the value of the USA dollar. Most of those aren't owned by the USA or any of it's citizens. Most debt and "virtual money" is actually owned by foreign companies and investment funds. If China wants to break the US dollar, they can. If the Arabs or the Japanese want to break the US dollar, they can. They don't want to, because they want to sell goods to the USA and if the US dollar falls, the USA won't be able to afford the products anymore. The dollars are spent, in the USA. More and more of corporate USA is owned by foreign companies. The only way to counter this, is for the USA to stop spending it's money outside it's borders and start producing their own goods again. Sure, the dollar will drop in value, so the foreigners will be able to still sell their products, but that will end once the US starts exporting again. Then the dollar will increase in value again, because the products you can buy are worth it.
You are living 30 years ago. The USA makes corn to feed livestock, turn into sugar and alcohol to fuel cars. They make soy, mostly for export. There is some oil harvesting, but with the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, that's not as much as it was anymore. They make cars, at a loss. They sell some software and ehr... thats it. The most profitable agricultural produce of the USA currently is marijuana. Yes, there's no tax income on that, but both per acre and totaled, this is what's making the most money in agriculture.
You may be laughing at Zimbabwe, but 2/3 of Africa has less debt per person than the USA. over 10% of the citizens of the USA (yes, citizens, not counting the millions of illegal aliens) lives in official, UN certified poverty. The USA is spending more than 20 percent of it's money on wars fought outside of it's own borders. About the same amount of money is spent on spying, black ops and non-directly war related defense costs. All that fighting, black ops and "defense" isn't helping the US economy by producing something you can eat locally, or sell abroad.
The USA economy is shrinking. Maybe the USA should stop spending so much money abroad and on war, paranoia and keeping arms traders rich and powerful. You can't eat weapons. You can't eat your suns and daughters returning home in a body bag. You can't eat DRM, patents and law suits. It won't be long before people in the USA will just be too hungry to care for all these things anymore.
With all due respect, but I wonder where to? Most high quality goods also are manufactured in countries like Japan, Korea and China. Maybe you haven't noticed, but the Chinese themselves know all too well that most of the stuff they export is crap. They generally won't use it themselves, but use something better. The fact is, people from the west ordered this crap. They did that, because they don't want the quality, just the low price. You pay for what you get and you get what you ordered. If you don't like it, call this toll free number and complain to the person speaking Hinglish on the other side of the phone line.
They can't be responsible for everything there. How about making railway management responsible for not taking care of due governance? What do you think they are there, communists?
Why would that be culture? It could be food or any other external influence, including culture. It could be a mix of several influences. Correlation != causation.
Are fake as well. There are very few shows that don't get their products to review directly from the manufacturer. Most only get the products if they give a positive review. Did you ever watch a car show that didn't praise a car? How many shows actually compare products they bought in shops themselves and aren't afraid to fail the lot?

Saying they want their report back. Mindless rehashing of something OKcupid themselves already published 2 years ago is not journalism.

It's the packaging material of the computers to do the mass calculation.

Even the real ones could be selling just ipods and macbooks and such?
