You're making several errors, the first of which is that it's overweight people whining about BMI. It is not, from what I've seen. Fit people talk about BMI. I was one of them, and I was borderline overweight despite being a very thin person.
The second is that one's daily schedule is irrelevant if they are careful about what they eat. A full meal can be very low in calories, and a lack of exercise does not necessarily lead to obesity. There are many, many more factors at work here.
Non-disclosures and non-competes overlap a little, and I think in this case non-competes could apply, because they might be working for the competitor to do this. That said, they wouldn't need to work for them to give out this information, so a non-disclosure would be more appropriate. They might already sign one of these. I don't know.
As I understand it, this is saying that warehouse workers (i.e. the people who do physical labor like moving products from point A to point B, or pack shipments) can't help to develop similar systems for their competitors using what they know about Amazon's practices. This does not seem to stop them from doing manual labor elsewhere.
This doesn't seem all that concerning to me. AFAIK this is the exact kind of thing non-competes are intended for. Perhaps 18 months is a little long. I'd guess 6-12 months is more reasonable.
But other than that, this doesn't seem all that bad.
"Bad press" doesn't necessarily imply a virtuous subject being distorted, it can also imply articles that are generally interpreted as negative. Journalism is supposed to be impartial after all (though it doesn't always end up that way).
And the NSA aren't "bad people with a bad agenda" because "bad" is about as subjective as it gets. They are just not moving toward the same goals that you or others are.
Aside from the chuckle I get from visiting geocities pages once a decade, what reasons are there for helping to preserve it?
Is the preservation of old internet sites anything more than a curiousity that will end up in museums? Is it useful to the human race in some way?
There are a lot of replies about how you don't have to provide your "real" name. However, most people that already play have almost certainly used their real names to create their account(s). And once an account is created, the name on the account cannot be changed. Further, should your account ever be compromised, the only surefire way to recover it is to provide some identifying information, such as a driver's license or birth certificate. If you don't use your own name, you risk losing it to some scammer or javascript exploit, and no way to get it back because your name is not legally "I.P. Freely".
Mod parent up. Putting this under 'Apple' messes with filters. I have Apple stories filtered out, and were it not for my iGoogle RSS feed I would have missed this story because some guy thought he was being funny (maybe it is funny, to some people).
As much as I share your loathing for marketing, I don't believe this is a case of that. There is no company pushing this term, it's a community (or research?) -driven word. I'm not sure there IS a word for it yet except for ensemble. If you know otherwise, please let us know.
The factors that go into determining reliability are objective, but the way you piece them together is not, I don't think.
For example, you would want to consider up-time on a regional basis, but you would also want to consider up-time on a worldwide basis. How do you objectively weight these two measurements, especially when they might vary on a wide basis? Perhaps town A has 10% up-time, but it's the only town with that problem. Perhaps that leaves Verizon with a %99.999999999 world-wide up-time. But, they didn't specify where that up-time existed, just that they have 'the most reliable' network. Well, their statement wouldn't be true in town A. Thus, they can't really say that in the way they want to.
Additionally, how do you prove that your measurements are accurate? You would need a third party to do the assessment, hired by someone other than Verizon. Yeah, I'm sure that's going to happen.

Magnetic field lines are not really like a river. The lines of a magnetic field represent paths around a center rather than paths from high potential to low potential.
It's more like a car. The wheels on a car move around a central point, creating a "circle" which is quite real, while the line of a river is not.
There, now it's a car analogy.
It's pretty obvious, I would say:
- To keep subscribers that might have otherwise stopped playing.
- To perhaps regain previous subscribers.
- To allow people to enjoy the game more than they already do (through various means, such as playing with new real-life friends, or having a better pvp experience on imbalanced realms, etc.).
- To make money doing so.
It doesn't make sense in the game world, but really who gives a crap, it's a video game.

This article uses a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

My favorite one is the most recent:

Here comes the conspiracy theorists...
Take note, RyuuzakiTetsuya is also a disinformation agent funded by the Molemen.
It's attitudes like yours that caused so many silent films or early episodes of Doctor Who to be lost to time.
My attitude of asking a question? I didn't say the answer was "nothing," I just wasn't sure what it was. Thankfully ibwolf gave a pretty good answer.

I don't think anyone has ever thought or suspected that the 'invisibility cloaks' of today are in any way without flaws.
Or maybe you're not explaining it right? Impossible to tell, really.
I don't believe brevity can necessarily make something non-newsworthy.
Nevermind, ignore this comment, I am apparently a hypocrite.
Additionally, it adds the assumption that the second shooter always winning is somehow a widely know 'fact'.
I have no idea why this comment is modded up. If he had read the article his question would have been answered.
Mod parent up, the motorcycle analogy is actually quite awful and implies the opposite of what it should be implying.
Damn you d$avi!!!!!!
Why do people keep referring to a price of $699?

I'll get off your lawn now.
I'm pretty sure that 'subscribing' counts as pulling, since subscribing is an 'opt-in' type behavior.
