Physicists are not looked up to in the United States because society has a backward view of the world. We look up to the shallowest people (collectively) in our society -- actors and athletes. We are more intersted in the outside appearance of peole than what they have inside. Until that attitude changes, there is nothing that is going to improve the image of physicists or any other group that requires hours of study...
"Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter's wedding... on the wedding day of your daughter's wedding... And I hope that their first child is a masculine child."
Obviously, reading the story, you are incorrect. When people's bellies are not full, they don't care about the long term. Witness Hitler. Witness Stalin.
You are so brilliant. The grandparent was simply pointing out that it is not top speed that will define hybrid's success in the market place. This headline is worthless.
The Model I never came with floppies. And the model I was never sold in 1988. By then the Model IV was getting old, and Tandy was starting to go with the 1000 series.
I would not use an e-mail client without robust calendar features built-in. The ability to organize my day revolves around e-mail, and my appointment book. Why would I want to separate the two?
To those who modded the parent down: Please voluntarily stop modding posts. This was not only on topic, but funny as well. It points out how ludicrous the current EULA situation is. I have to agree to things which are not rational if I want to do the most mundane things.
How is this insightful? Digital signing means that the publisher certifies that it is the executable he published. Not that the package is NOT harmful.
I think signing one's work is a very basic protection scheme. How hard would it be for Microsoft to slip a micky into the works, then have a field day with a mutil million dollar ad campaign? Jo average would associate Firefox with an erased hard drive, and no amount of convincing from their computer buddies would convince them otherwise.
No, it is NOT a zero value. Take a look at your Wall Street Journal. People buy and sell options all the time. It is an educated guess about the direction of the company.
Often used to offset the risk of other investments (i.e. I buy Company A stock, but I want to protect against a big drop, so I buy the right to sell the stock at a certain, lower price). This helps you to get to a target risk level and still have a wide variety of stock to pick from.
Often, this is used by pure speculators too:)
For a large company, there is sufficient market information to make a good estimation of the value of a certain option. What is unclear, however, is how you do this for a small company without enough market activity to have an options market. or worse yet, a private company who's value is determined by a third party's valuation.
However, market valuations would take care of the vast majority of the bad accounting deals you ahve heard about on the news...

so do the French
Then explain Jerry Lewis!

I believe the quote you wanted was:
... on the wedding day of your daughter's wedding ... And I hope that their first child is a masculine child."
"Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter's wedding
If you can compress the resulting jpeg by 30% after the fact, then you can rewrite the original jpeg algorithm to incorporate this 30% reduction.
If it is a picture of the inseide of your closet with the lens cover on, the compression will be lossless.
I'm betting parent and grandparent are same person.
There is nothing intrinsically important about North being up. It is amazing how many people assume this must be the case.
Wow, your philosohpy comes from Matrix movies. Brilliant. And if we are an infection, would you please lead the way and off yourself?
And while you are at it, tell them to spit in the air while riding a bicycle.
Obviously, reading the story, you are incorrect. When people's bellies are not full, they don't care about the long term. Witness Hitler. Witness Stalin.
What you forget is that people worry about filling their stomachs before looking fifty years down the road.
Yes, when hundreds of millions of people are living in abject poverty, this important development gets ignored.
Methinks some people need to gain a bit of perspective. In the hierarchy of human needs, I do not remember reading about software patent issues.
You are so brilliant. The grandparent was simply pointing out that it is not top speed that will define hybrid's success in the market place. This headline is worthless.
So instead of having the folks over and subjecting them to a two hour slide show, now we can subject them to our slide show for weeks on end?

Ain't technology grand?

Try looking at subscription prices, not news stand prices. That will be more in the quarter range.
Its a bad sign wher you reute someone's logic with the level of their popularity.

Whoever modded this "flamebait" needs to get over it. This was hilarious!

Not informative... disinformative (if that is indeed a word). He selectively quotes to give the exact opposite meaning.
