Making an online business have to pay to ship their stuff while local businesses can simply hand things to people is damaging to online businesses. Therefore the government should provide free shipping for everyone to make it fair.
I love this idea. Make my Fedex guy, who can't even be bothered to make it all the way to the door and thus leaves everything in front of the garage, responsible for collecting all my taxes.
Many, many years ago, the killfish simply decided to evolve into man and create PCBs, so it could use them as a defense mechanism. Which is a pretty stupid idea, when you think about it. But what do you expect from a fish?
It's always boggled my mind how the greens and the left never play the national security card when it comes to alternative energy. It doesn't even have to make any sense either, it just has to sound good.
The battles aren't turn based so you have to rely mainly on the gambit system for all but your main character. If I wanted to play an MMO I would play an MMO. I liked the freaking turn based battles. I liked being able to play a bit while I'm eating dinner without constantly pausing, because that might be the only time I get to play. With the gambit system the simple battles feel like they are just saying, "yes we are completely wasting your time, your participation can be replaced by 3 lines of script." For the more harder battles, either you read a strategy guide to find out how to beat the boss first, or you go in and die so you can learn how to program your characters for the second try. Wow, that's fun.
As far as it being nonlinear, it really doesn't matter if the linear story lets you stop and wander around the world before continuing with it or not. Nonlinear to me means you get to make actual choices that impact the story.
You can't always control your environment. I've tried to read outside on a nice day and had construction going on nearby make it impossible to enjoy reading. It's hard to supply your own background music that stays appropriate to the book so if done right I could see it being useful for that type of situation.
No, he's saying an anti-pig might be repelled by mud. Given our current level of understanding concerning anti-pigs it might be premature to assume there must be invisible pigs, despite how conveniently invisible bacon explains the obesity problems we are facing.
Considering according to TFA they had a launch dry run back in May and launching in two months I don't think there's too much building going on at this point.
You would think that taking a loss on a thousand controllers per year would be worth a bit of positive press to compete with lots of negative press over things like rootkits and getting hacked. I mean can't you just see the "Sony cares" ads?
It's irrelevant that there might be another reason to lower the speed limit in that area besides the local government being assholes? It's a very common thing around here the minor highways are 40 or 50 mph but when you go through a more densely populated area with more traffic entering that the speed limit goes down to 30 or 35 for a short distance. Parent paints a picture of this being a perfectly straight road with no intersections that lowers the speed limit for no reason. I seriously doubt it.
They did that in a trainer with instructors at the helm. The computer relinquished command (ie the auto pilot kicks off and the auto correction kicks off) and the pilot must fly by himself. It was noted that the instructors had zero problem with this scenario and did NOT do something stupid like immediately fly the plane into a stall.
That's what I don't get about this behavior of the computer. The response of the human pilots in the simulator to the loss of air speed indication was to put the plane into a specific throttle and control setting that is known to produce a safe air speed. So when the computer loses air speed indication why doesn't it just do that?
My sister is a teacher and they do this, but not in the fully interactive type of way people are thinking here. The teachers prepare lessons for the students ahead of time so that when there is a snow day the students already have their lesson with them. The teacher is available online to answer questions, that's the only component where the internet comes into play. It's difficult for the teachers because they have to prepare several standalone lessons that can be done at any time over the winter since of course they don't know when the snow days will be. But after some resistance from both the teachers and the parents after a couple of years it seems that most everyone has gotten on board with it.
"In 2005, the Ontario government announced changes to the secondary school mathematics curriculum that would allow imperial units to be taught along with metric units.[12] This marked a departure from previous governments' efforts to make sure that the curriculum used only the metric system. This was done in light of the refusal or reluctance of much of the private sector to metricate; thus students had been leaving school unprepared for the units used in the workplace. Many other provinces and territories also include the imperial system of measurements as part of their educational curriculum."
From a recent discussion elsewhere:
"Belize still sells gas in real gallons and speed limits are in mph while Guatemala and Panama sell gas in puny gallons. Woodworkers everywhere use pulgadas (inches) and centimetros, and most tape measures I saw in hardware stores had both inches and centimetres. In Cuba, I guy a talked to mentioned needing 2 pulgada nails for the house he was building."
"In Italy, my plumber cousin measures his pipe diameters in inches, but the lengths are in metres and centimetres. In France, where the whole metric thing started, one does not order 500 grams of whaterver food at the butcher or grocer, but "une livre", a pound of whatever. In Canada, our residential construction is still in inches and feet."
It's not a tax, but certainly an expense to act as tax collector for 45 states. As a one man show small business it's really going to rain on my parade if I have to start paying for a service to keep track of tax codes across the country (though no doubt it will still be my ass on the line if its wrong) and keep track of tax due for each state and send off umpteen checks each month. It's going to be easier to ship out of the country than to the next state.
Actually it was very true. The advances in technology may pull you forward but that doesn't change the fact that lower megapixels means that each photosite has the ability to capture more photons improving signal to noise ratio. All other things being equal a lower megapixel sensor has far better noise characteristics than a high megapixels sensor.
Yes, per pixel the noise will be lower. But for the same print size the higher mp count sensor should have approximately the same amount of noise but higher resolution. The amount of the noise isn't the only thing that matters, the character of the noise is important too.
And lets not even get started on a resolving power of a lens that can satisfy 8megapixels on the size of a pinhead.
Yes. Even for larger sensor cameras if you have to shoot from a tripod with mirror lock up using the best lenses at their sharpest aperture setting and print it wall size just to see the difference there's no point to it, and you get penalized having to deal with larger files. But it's nice to be able to crop a landscape orientation shot to portrait and still have enough leftover to get a decent small print.
Take for example the current crop of Sony 16 mp APS sensors found in the Nikon D7000 and Pentax K-5 versus any APS sensor before them, for example the 6 mp sensors that were the high iso darlings of their day.
I understand there isn't enough power to run the turbines, but couldn't they have a secondary smaller turbine designed to run on the power level available in the shutdown state that would just generate enough power to run the cooling systems?

In general, marketing and sales people have a tenuous grasp on reality.

You didn't really think they needed a reason, did you?

Yes, because the only factors considered in determining the speed limit are the straightness and width of the road.

There are far more exceptions than that, read for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Canada
"In 2005, the Ontario government announced changes to the secondary school mathematics curriculum that would allow imperial units to be taught along with metric units.[12] This marked a departure from previous governments' efforts to make sure that the curriculum used only the metric system.

You do not want to be the guy that has to explain to the shark that water damage isn't covered.

The question wasn't why don't they have backups, but why they don't have a self-contained backup in addition to external ones.
