(.993)^3 is less than.993
You're taking less than a whole times less than a whole times less than a whole..993^3 =.979146657
Perhaps what formula you meant was (1 - ((1 -.993)^3) = 0.999999657
Just to give everyone some perspective on how long 150 years actually is, the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776. 232 years ago. Think about how people would have felt had the Declaration been under copyright, with no reproduction allowed until 1925, well after WW1. Does that not strike anyone else as pretty crazy?

Let's not forget those of us who have been burned by having to do driver updates to support the DRM updates, or the fact that certain blu ray disks don't play in my blu ray drive, already beginning to render it obsolete. I won't be buying another one, especially with the problems I've had even after waiting for it to be out for a year.
Careful there. My guess is that you are basing this "fact" solely on grades. Grades are indicators of two things: intelligence and drive. You can be very, very smart and do very, very poorly because you don't apply it. You can also be very dumb and apply yourself and still do poorly. Smartest people may not always make the best grades... Einstein anyone?
Considering the actual gov page refers specifically to cell-phone batteries and laptop batteries, Gov page:
Under the new rules, you can bring batteries with up to 8-gram equivalent lithium content. All lithium ion batteries in cell phones are below 8 gram equivalent lithium content. Nearly all laptop computers also are below this quantity threshold.
My guess is you misinterpreted the quote from AP:
The ban affects shipments of non-rechargeable lithium batteries, such as those made by Energizer Holdings Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co.'s Duracell brand
as saying, "The ban affects ONLY shipments of non-rechargeable lithium battters", which is incorrect.
Apache.
While Google does have the mantra "Do No Evil", you must remember, they are a corporation. Their goal is to make money. While they are good now, down the road, you can't be sure. The heart of the system is always corporate gain.
The heart of Apache is public gain.
I so vehemently wish to disagree with you, but after watching the news steadily deteriorate with foul news of our corrupt government, I just don't have the will anymore.
Truth hurts.
Honestly, I think one of the nicest features in Eclipse is the highlighting of a selected object/class/variable. I never realized how annoying using "find" or "bookmark all" was until I moved to eclipse.
Intel and AMD merging would reinforce the lack of true competition, making your 150$ go quite a bit shorter.
Learn to read some review articles and make an educated decision.
And it is conclusions like these that are slowly allowing our society to become more conducive to crime. If you want to stop crime, give the people committing the crimes enough incentive to not do them again. This woman should have been jail for a damned good amount of time, instead of on probation, and holy shit, given probation again? Please. Give her the Chair. People like this make no contributions to society, and serve no good. Why keep them around? What do they do but drain on everyone else?
I love it when people sound so smart, but can't tell the difference between there and their.

Actually, the simple fact that you pointed out the Wii implies that this marketing tactic has worked. What a cheap way to generate interest than having geeks across the world fighting how to pronounce it if they read it, how to spell it if they hear it, and how dumb of a name it is in general. You may think it is dumb, but I guarantee that was a great choice of a name for the console.
The entire catalogue of information from 1,800 courses at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will be available free online by
the end of the year. Once uploaded, it will represent one of the internet's most important resources.
It might come in handy, but this claim is completely out there. It sounds like someone is tooting their own horn a little too loudly. That's like saying, my new search engine ${name here} will have great impact on how we do searching today.
Just because they are not using it to go after anyone yet, does not mean that they won't in the future. In the end, their legal department funds, matched with this patent, can shut down any small company competitor with a threat of a patent suit./.ites are pissed because we recognize this as a threat to innovation by the little guys.
Lopez-Alegria has already spent more than 61 hours spacewalking during his astronaut career. This spacewalk, his 10th, should add about six more hours to his total - making him the US astronaut with the most spacewalks performed and the most total time spent walking in space. Only Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Solovyov has spent more time outside the hatch, racking up 82 hours of spacewalking time.

The settlement ends the matter in an amicable way.
The article fails to really specify end results, but it sounds like some kind of job deal was worked out where the kids will help improve security.
