Air Travel - CO2 emissions in air travel vary but we are using an average figure of.6393 pounds of CO2 per person per mile flown. This equals.29 kg CO2. per person mile traveled. Take the number of miles divided by 1,000 and multiply by.29 to get metric tons of CO2 per year.
You missed the decimal point. Air travel, by that sites estimates, is actually.065kg per mile better.
any other media format is physically static, which can degrade. raid5 ensures that the files live on after the physical components degrade, as long as new drives are continually added to the system
How is continually adding drives to your system to replace dead ones any different than continually adding CD/DVDs to your system to replace dead ones?
Look at his page on the house website. What would you expect from an old white republican who routinely visit UGA, is avidly pro-life, speaks out against same sex marriages in CA, and a gun toter? If your brain doesn't SCREAM good 'ole boy after looking at that site for about 5 seconds, then I don't know what else to say.
If the person in front is willing to lie to the cops "I saw something and braked" then the person in back can lie as well, "I was traveling down the road and this maniac pulled out, passed me, and slammed on his brakes, causing the crash." If both are liars, then it won't be the "automatic" fault people assert. There is nothing automatic about it, and no place I know of codifies the assumed "the person at the back is at fault" that everyone says. If someone in front brakes to scare or annoy others, then they are at fault, regardless of what lies they tell later to get out of it. Or are you asserting that if the person in front tells the cops "I saw him behind me, slowed a little to bring him in close, then slammed on the brakes so he'd hit me" that they would still find the person in back at fault?
I never asserted that the driver in front was lying, just that he could see something that the d-bag that was tailgating him couldn't see. As much as we would like traffic fault to be assigned appropriately, assuming a he-said-she-said scenario regarding a rear-end, the driver behind will be held liable in almost all situations devoid of any actual evidence that the guy in front wasn't driving legally.
Oh, and the Texas Transportaion Institute (look them up, the TTI is big and internationally known) did a study and it was published stating that 2 seconds was the worst distance to follow. Less than that increased crashes, but significantly decreased fatalities. Have a thought about that, if someone is following you closely, they are less likely to kill you. But facts always get in the way of a good rant. I don't have many regrets in life, but one of them was finding that in the library and not going out and buying my own copy, as I have no idea how to find it again.
Maybe that study is true, but following at a safe following distance decreases both accidents AND fatalities. I would rather people drive safely.
I figure, if you brake suddenly, for no good reason, and I hit you, well, that's what insurance is for. And next time maybe you'll just get out of the way.
Heaven forbid they saw something you didn't while you were doing your asinine maneuvers? It's a good thing that both police and insurance would put you at fault. Maybe one day after you go to jail for involuntary manslaughter you will realize you are just being a giant douche.
If someone wrote an article that was the opposite of this, from a "man's point of view" it would be extremely sexist, and the publisher, writer, and anyone quoted in the article would burn in the ninth layer of hell for being such a terrible person.
Hotmail doesn't loaded remote images, and would even prevent you from clicking on a link if the sender was unknown. They have been doing this for quite a while.
I would never make a decision based on a/. summary either. Read the article, then point to the line that says "Hans will lead authorities to Nina's dead body in exchange for a lighter punishment." You can't, because it's not there. The article is just speculation.
Completely pointless comparisons. So what if it was only downloaded 10k times on itunes + amazon. There is still the meatspace market to consider, and the single hasn't released there yet. Some people still like material goods.
Especially interesting, because what are the pilots going to do if they spot a "terrorist" in flight? Get the flight attendants to tie him up and throw him in cargo storage?
The performing artist never gets paid directly for a recorded performance while under contract to a publishing group. Why would you expect this to be any different?
It isn't, which is why your parent wasn't suggesting not prosecuting, but rather using the "what were they thinking" as a mitigating factor in determining what punishment is appropriate.
I wish I had mod points to push this post up, but for other people browsing lower, this is directly from the Songza "About Us" Section:
Do the artists get paid? Is it legal?
Yes. Songza pays for licenses from all the major performing-rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), who then pay the publishers and writers in proportion to the number of plays they get on Songza.
This seems like a legal alternative to paying for online access to music, but who knows if it will last etc. As an aside, the black / yellow on red combo makes me want to stab my eyes out. This is the UI of a supposed brainchild of UI? The only cool UI thing is the menu that pops up when you click, but otherwise the site is fairly ugly. Elegant UI my ass.
Ignoring the legal questions of getting music for free on youtube, you would sit down and sift through the cruft on youtube to find the proper videos of music that you want to listen to, and then use youtube as a music player? Then you have to deal with a copyright holder filing a DMCA complaint with youtube and getting the content removed, and you have to go back to step one and find the same content again. Repeat ad nauseam.
Or you could support what seems to be a viable push for online music and reasonable costs. Something many people have been wanting for quite some time. If you like the music and the price seems reasonable, pull the trigger. If you like the music and the price doesn't seem reasonable, that doesn't mean you have any right to it at the price point you want, it just means you don't buy.
Why do you think its going to be the same price? Has there been any sort of confirmation on that? In past when apple releases new products with additional features / more storage, the price point is about the same as the initial price point on the previous generation.
Do you mean you actually do not have a security policy for this? Do your employees know that?
Whats so strange about not having a security policy regarding a scenario that they have never had to deal with, and attempting to make an appropriate policy before engaging in said act?
I know this is a bit dead, but all clamshell phones that I have seen are just as impossible to dial the emergency services number as on the razr, and the razr was by far not the first clamshell.
It's not so much that they make cameras that are waterproof, as they put cameras that aren't waterproof inside of a huge chunky case that looks retarded in any other situation outside of you being near vast quantities of water. I'm willing to bet that a majority of people wouldn't buy a phone that was retardedly huge just because it was waterproof. Form over function for most Americans. Look at how many people bought the RAZR, and that thing was a piece of crap, functionality wise.
Thats alright by me. I generally don't give a flip about what critics say, and lets be honest. I hardly think a figure as prominent as Hironobu Sakaguchi will ever be in danger of not being able to produce any more games.
They already have had a Final Fantasy release, it's just not called Final Fantasy, its Lost Odyssey. It's created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the same one who made the original Final Fantasy and every single one since, plus a boatload of other awesome games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hironobu_Sakaguchi). It even has Nobuo Uematsu doing the music as well. Frickin awesome is all I can say.

Who says he used it as an escape? Is there there no possibility that he just enjoying playing the game?
Why not just recreate it from the source? This was a backup, right?

Who says they want to win the cheap / midrange products? Apple seems to be doing quite fine with just its premium markets.

No, it doesn't beg the question. Get it right.
Its a SINGLE PAGE out of one of those shitty Ten that lists. Jesus fucking christ.
