At 5x the price you can fly private, first class is less then 2x the cost. To make the math easy will do an 8 hour flight on a Boeing 747, 4,500 miles that will burn 22,000 gallons of fuel. The price of fuel is somewhere between $3-$5 per gallon depending on the location so just the fuel cost is $110,000. A pilot making 20k a year would get paid roughly $10 / hour a 300% wrap rate would cost $240 for the trip with two pilots it's $480, for a total cost of $110,480 for the pilots and fuel. If the pilots made 100k a year the cost of pilots and fuel would be $112,400 a two percent change in cost, I did not account for maintenance, stewardess, baggage handlers, terminal fees or and other administrative cost. Fuel is by far the number one cost in the airline business labor is a distant second.
Just notice that a lot of potential energy is wasted and literally goes down the drain at every household. But it's partly because energy still is too cheap compared to the cost to utilize the energy from waste.
There is very little alcohol that goes down the drain 90% of alcohol it broken down by the liver and only 5% goes down the drain. On top of that there is less then 0.1% alcohol in the urine of an intoxicated person.
Playing devils advocate...
For the same reason the court seemed to side with Sony about being able to remove features (e.g. Linux support), why wouldn't they also be allowed to remove other features (e.g. all of them), by bricking the whole thing, especially if it's out of warranty.
It would be a total dick move to do, but it's Sony. PS3 is 6 years old. PS4 is in development. They can manufacture slim PS3s cheaply now. The games are where they make their money. Just send everyone (who bought a PS3 in the last year) a new slim PS3 with new keys, and nuke the rest. They lose maybe $100 per customer, but they get to secure their machine. and as long as they sell at least 2 new games for each free PS3 they send out, they break even. Presumably anyone who bought a PS3 within the last year, intends to buy games for it. Naive people will be glad to get a new PS3 because it's new.
If I was a corporate douchebag at Sony, I know I'd be pushing to nuke the old PS3s and screw over all my customers (because I would be in character).
Here is the big distinction, Sony did not remove any features from the PS3, the updated firmware did not carry the linux support. What you lost in the ruling is your choice to keep the old firmware and play new games. Sony did not force any updates they simply offered an update with different features one of the differences was that linux was not supported another was newer games are supported. Lets not make mountains out of mole hills and equate bricking every PS3 with losing some features.
Not just interference with neighboring WAPs but also your own, when I dialed down the power on my router I was able to get better transmission further away. I attributed it to the multibounce, I lost a bit of range but my packet loss decreased mid range.
Given that nobody (except Iceland) is at 100% renewable energy, yes it does matter. Say you consume 100 TWh a year. Say 25 TWh of that comes from renewables, the rest from fossil fuels (ignore nuclear to keep this simple). Say petrol (gasoline) accounts for 10 TWh of your energy use. And say this process requires 2x as much energy as it creates in petrol.
Electric companies do not use petrol to generate electricity, they use natural gas, the reason for this is that natural gas can be piped in and it's price is much less volatile then petrol.
If you create all your petrol using renewables to power this process, then you're reducing your fossil fuel consumption by 10 TWh, but increasing your renewable consumption by 20 TWh. However, you only have 25 TWh of installed renewables capacity. So the 20 TWh of renewables this process consumes displaces 20 TWh of other consumption which used to come from renewables. To make up for that shortfall, you have to burn 20 TWh more fossil fuels.
While that is true, if renewable sources are used it will create a greater demand for renewable energy an lead to more sources being developed.
Don't make the mistake of mixing up consumption with production. You cannot pick and choose where your power comes from. If your renewables production is static and less than 100%, then nothing you do on the consumption side matters. Once you exceed that static amount of renewables production capacity, every new power drain you add comes entirely from fossil fuels.
You are only correct on a technically, that the electrons you purchase will not be from the same place you bought them from if you are on the grid. You can however only buy renewable energy thus creating more demand and incentivising renewable energy producing to increase. While this may not be true in all countries there are many places where a person can decide who they buy their power from.
I'll get a little off topic here but who's has a right to the land depends on when you decide that ownership begins Arabs invaded the area in 600AD and did not control it the whole time the Jews have been a part of that land pretty consistently for 3,000 years, even after many invasions in the land. If anyone can claim the land they can make the best case.
That is the dumbest thing I have read in a while. If the US wanted to invade Iran we would have done so all ready,
That's exactly the problem. The U.S. people by and large do not want to invade Iran. This fearmongering by Panetta and his ilk is one part of the establishment's attempt to change that.
the whole building nuclear weapons is more then enough reason to invade
Is it really? Now that is the stupidest thing I've read in this thread. Look at how colored your perception is by the establishment propaganda you absorb. No sane person, or person with expertise on this who doesn't have an agenda to push, thinks Iran is actually building a nuke. Although, if I were in their shoes.....I damn sure would be! The craziest thing is you idea that it's the U.S.'s job to police the world and decides who gets to have a nuke. Israel has 200+ nukes; why are they allowed to have them and Iran isn't? When was the last time Iran ever invaded or attacked a country, or even threatened to?
Ahmadinejad said
Our dear Imam (referring to Ayatollah Khomeini) said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. Is it possible to create a new front in the heart of an old front. This would be a defeat and whoever accepts the legitimacy of this regime has in fact, signed the defeat of the Islamic world. Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime. I have no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world.
I'm glad this article came up on Slashdot cause Lord knows Facebook is tired of my political commentary, and in the middle of the night too so maybe somebody will actually see my comment, and understand when I say this accusation IS COMPLETE HORSESHIT.
Iran did not launch any fucking "cyber attack." This is nothing more than a convenient excuse drummed up by the U.S. to help justify an invasion. They have been searching high and low for a good excuse for some time. Now the stage is set. When some massive cyberattack hits the U.S. (not really causing any real damage of course, at least not to anything seriously critically important) guess who will be blamed? Why, it must have been Iran! Leon Panetta with his far-rearching vision and insight pointed out not 6 months ago this might happen! Quick, to arms!
That is the dumbest thing I have read in a while. If the US wanted to invade Iran we would have done so all ready, the whole building nuclear weapons is more then enough reason to invade but yet we have not. Which is a bigger threat an unstable regime with a nuke or government sponsored script kiddies? The US all ready has guidelines for responses to to cyber attacks and unless infrastructure is destroyed an invasion is off the table.
Did the contract you signed to purchase the car explicitly say you have the right to resell the car and all of its components? I have not read purchase agreement in a long time but if that statement is not in there, then you were not granted the right to resell without permission if the appellate court's ruling is upheld. Unless your car is 50 years old I doubt that 100% of the parts are made in the US and you would fall into the you are boned category.
Yes but what percentage of the coveted 18-24 demographic uses ie? The only stat I have seen puts Firefox at twice the market share for that demographic. In TV 18-24 and 25-34 are the demographics that set the add rate old people don't matter because their buying patters are set.
So showing a picture of two marbles with a two below it then a plus sign and another photo with three marbles and a three below it an equals sign and a photo with 5 marbles and a 5 below it would certainly do the trick. There are only two conclusions that can be drawn from that that the = sign signifies subtraction and the + sign equals or that = signifies equal and + addition. A few more images using other operators and there would be no way that our basic operators could be misinterpreted. If a 10 year old can learn order of operations an intelligent life form that managed to fly across the galaxy should be able to handle the same thing. You could probably define our mathematical notation and order of operation in less then 30 expressions, that includes calculus.
Older people are the only ones that use ie, older people that advertisers do not target as much, largely because their spending habits are set, so this foe outrage seems suspicious. The only reason I can come up with as to why advertisers would publicly criticize Microsoft (please put on your tin foil hats) is that the new ie has a security hole that advertisers can use and are trying to get their target demographic to switch. Otherwise they are giving ie a boat load of good publicity that may steer people towards a product they don't want people to use.
And therein is the lie. Because the FCC hasn't, to the best of my knowledge, allowed a merger in recent history between a major carrier and a smaller one without imposing the requirement that substantial amounts of overlapping spectrum be disposed of.
How does spectrum overlap? AWS is sold in blocks geographically, the companies own specific frequencies in specific locations, there is no overlap.
There are multiple theories, and this is just one.
I do not see you provide any substantiation for why this one in particular would be so obvious as to warrant a "No Shit Sherlock" reply, compared to other theories like lack of accountability or skewed demographics (rude people posting more, or polite people posting less), or...
In particular, I think this theory is not obvious, because the same does not appear to hold true for one-to-one communications, just one-to-many. E-mails, for example are usually pretty free of rudeness, unless they are mailing lists anonymizing its members.
Because of this, I think the lack of accountability is the number one cause here, and that your reply was both a cheap shot and misplaced.
Oh, and before I forget: You goatbotherer, you.
It is that obvious, anonymity has everything to do with it, when there are no consequences for actions people do not censure themselves. Even something as simple as karma curbs this action, how often do you see A.C. posting rude things compared to everyone else? One on one emails are not anonymous and acting rude carries consequences, the person you are corresponding with will get upset and you may not correspond with them any more, it only takes a small deterrent.
Shielded cat 5e STP cable works great in noisy environments it costs about $0.11 a foot and many switches and routers are compatible with STP requirements. Just make sure the cable has foil over each pair and a braid around all the cables with a darin wire for the best protection. You can get fiber spools for $0.20 a foot but you will have to make all the connectors yourself and doing them well is critical. If you are going to go with fiber and have no experience crimping it's probably better to buy precut cables and pay about $1 per foot but you can save a lot if you have fiber experience.
Sam Adams certainly advertizes on TV and they have good beers.
Dogfish head had a TV show a while back on the discovery channel essentially a 20 minute commerical they have very good beers.
Commercialization does not make something bad it typically means they have had success, I know the hipster in you hates when everybody starts liking something you liked first and that there is no way the masses could ever have as sophisticated tastes as you.
So when a company or an individual hits your cap will they keep producing or will they stop. If they are as heartless as you make them out to be they will just stop and everyone working for them will have the rest of the year off.
This is incorrect but only because you forgot that the melting ice will cool the surrounding water, lets say we have 30g of ice at 0 C and 70g of water at 1 C, if that was in a graduated cylinder the volume will be 99.99cm^3. Now when the ice melts the water will get colder 0 C, so now we have a volume of 99.98cm^3.
I hate to nitpick, but sea ice is nearly pure water while seawater is not pure water (it is 2.5% more dense). There is actually a small difference due to this. This is a minor effect compared to land ice melting or the thermal expansion of the oceans due to global warming, but it is measurable. If you melt sea ice, the ocean level will rise slightly.
Ice has a density of 0.9170g/cm^3 at 0 C, when it changes to water it has a density of 0.999841g/cm^3 it reaches a peak density at 4 C of 0.999973g/cm^3 even at 30 C its density is 0.995646g/cm^3. That is a 10% increase in density from melting, ice melting in water lowers the volume.
Also, salt water and fresh water(ice) have different densities, so ice melting on the ocean will cause the ocean to rise. Not much, but we are talking about a lot of ice.
Also when water warms from 0 C to 4 C it's density increases by 0.01%.
Not always the case a while back I had an unlocked GSM phone all I needed was the new APNs, I still had to go through the whole script to get escalated and then be told by the level 2 guy that they don't give out that information, and if my phone was authorized on their network it would automatically get the new address. I later found out that my trouble was because my carrier had 2 APNs one for data and one for text messages.
Funny how our education ranking has dropped considerably once the 'No Child Left Behind' bill went into service.
Enforcing everyone passes education at the detriment of our more intelligent children does us no good.
No child left behind was passed in 2001 our NAEP scores for math and reading were the same throughout the 90's and have increased 5% for 9 year olds since NCLB was passed 2% for 13 yo and no change for 17 yo. It would be nice to kick the trouble makers to the curb so they would stop holding the class back, holding teachers accountable and rewarding the successful ones but it will never happen. Children have a right to education even if they are infringing on others, teaching unions will never stand for teachers being paid and fired on merit. If you want to know why private and charter schools are more effective at teaching kids then there is your answer teachers can be fired and disruptive students are removed.
The unemployment rate for STEM graduates is 2%, twice as good as the college graduate unemployment rate I don't think there is an abundance of STEM graduates.
