In contrast a corporation does not hold a monopoly. If your speech annoys ABC Company and you get fired, you can just move to one of the millions of other companies. [...] Monopoly is the thing you truly need to fear.
Actually, a company is a buyer of labor vis-à-vis employees, so what you need to be afraid of is a monopspony. And I think the case can be made that the labor market is an oligopsony.
The emotional, rhetoric-laden argument style that humanities teaches doesn't hold water in the legal profession, because judges are usually very sharp and aren't going to fall for that shit.
White with iPhones is a way of advertising that you have the more expensive model, as it historically only exists as an option for the top-end model. All of the people who know the difference will be totally impressed when they see it and will respect you and/or want to have sex with you.
It's like wearing a fancy watch or paying for a drink with a hundred dollar bill at the bar. Visible signs of wealth trump personality and good looks.
This only works for men vis-à-vis women. But I would bet my Richard Millle watch that more women percentage-wise will be getting the white one.
Sorry to be so negative but in my opinion the article is horrible. It doesn't explain anything unless you think bad analogies and jovial metaphors help you understand things better. After having read it, I don't know a single qubit more about quantum computers than before.
Why would you need a tron suit? From what I can tell you could pepper your body with these devices and run around naked.... looking like you're in a tron suit.
The blue model. It had that funky "hot line" button and a mic. I was convinced there was a way to make it record, but I was a child then and didn't realize that no record head, no recording.
Good times.

The comparative readability of Arial is not the same on-screen and on paper. Here's the account in the Economist: Learning difficulties. It mentions "tests" that had determined readability, but alas no reference to the specific study.
FTFS:This confirms a similar allegation, made in 2004 by Lt. Col. Robert Patterson, a military aide who frequently carried the 'nuclear football' during the Clinton presidency.
I demand a video review. They refs should have called a fumble.
How can it be cheaper to do stop motion on a computer? Without a computer it is a process of move the model, snap a frame. What is a computer going to do, move the model for you? Snap the frame for you?
In addition to the features cited by MeanMF from TFA, would interpolation be feasible? Ya know, so the animator doesn't have to make such minuscule changes.
You might be tickled to learn that there are some (wild-ish) theories that posit "every mathematical abstraction exists", as in, for every concept you can derive from mathematics, it actually exists "somewhere". Look at "mathematical multiverse" here http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/crazy.html And Tegmark is not actually a crackpot, just fanciful.:)
Paraphrasing ontologist Bill Clinton: "It depends on your definition of 'exists'". For epistemological questions I refer you to Donald Rumsfeld.

If I were the owner, I'd set it to recommend more expensive drinks.
Margin. It's the margin that counts.

FTFS: "alleging that the defendants illegally shared"
Is it just me or does the the phrase "illegal sharing" strike anyone else as odd?
Wow, that's very meta.
Before you posted that, nobody had read it. ;-)
This is just about what Zeno's paradox boils down to: "The Hare never catches the Tortoise until it does."

Explain RIAA math please.

Perhaps they should have used Comic Sans or Bodoni.
The solution to the Traveling Salesman Problem has already been found--it's called a chastity belt.

Exactly!
Now I don't have to take off my Tron suit... EVER

Oops, I meant no erase head no recording.

I agree that a lot of LEOs everywhere take the concept to places it shouldn't be though.
Ya, like Iridium Communications.
The world goes tits up after October 31st 2010. It's just blank after that.
Or I could just turn the page.
Europe "falls back" on 31/10/2010. I've experienced enough mishaps on DST-change days to gain a healthy respect for a baktun rollover.
I'm a chemist. 12 years worth of my research works out to about 2.5gb. Spreadsheets, word docs and NMR results don't take up that much space.
I backup once per week.
Good point. Who knows, he might have another Millennium Trilogy in there.
Ten years of work? What does this guy teach, English Lit?
