Yes, but bear in mind it is only correlation, the execs might be reducing IT staff on the basis that the company is already in trouble and they need to reduce costs to make the short term profit margin look good.
The wheat because there are less changes of state. With a food crop for humans, you grow a crop and then eat the edible bit.
With a cow, you have to grow a food crop (which in fairness is probably cheaper to grow than a plant crop we would eat directly), the cow eats a small portion of that food crop, it digests it at less than 100% efficiency. We then eat a small portion of the cow and digest that at less than 100% efficiency. etc.
Water is a particular problem with animal farming, take far more water for the same amount of calories to reach the person at the end of the chain.
The only way I can see meat might be better is because it's more energy dense it could be cheaper to transport than a plant crop, but then meat needs to be chilled for it's entire journey while only some food crops need to be so I would assume even that doesn't work out in meats favor.
For me at least, Gawker is completely inaccessible without javascript and they don't offer enough for me to be bothered to turn it on each time I visit, so I just stopped visiting.
The article also said that the snake almost never struck at the flagging tail and if it did it normally misses.
That suggests the tail is being heated up to make it a more inviting target and the movement is there to ensure that the snake never get a chance to actually strike (which presumably would still kill the squirrel unless it can cast off the tail/shutdown all blood flow before the poison makes its way into the core organs). I assume the tail can be moved far more quickly and erratically than the squirrels main body mass.
It sounds to me more like a matador using a cloak as a target for the bull. Something to draw the attention in a way which encourages an attack (or at least preparation for an attack) at the point which has least chance of causing damage.
If a police officer is biased because of a lunch, then we're really fucked.
If I were being investigated for some street scam defrauding tourist out of cash, could I offer to buy the guy investigating me a flight to a beach resort that I'm staying at and put him up in accommodation costing me a couple of £1,000 while I explain my side of the story?
That would clearly call the investigating officers integrity into question. Even if it didn't effect his decisions in any way, it just doesn't look good.
A meal in some 5-Star restaurants inside the City of London could easily come to a similar £ value, especially if you have more than 2 people at the table. So how is the meal any different to the 'investigation trip' when it comes to how it looks?
Is it simply about the cost of the hospitality? Would a meal that cost £100s rather than £1000s be acceptable? and if it was, could a gift of say jewelery valued at the same be given without the air of corruption?
It's far simpler to just not take anything from the people you have a formal relationship with, the alternative is a huge gray area waiting to be exploited.
I work for a medium size technology company, we aren't even allowed to accept a box of chocolates from our suppliers or customers, that in a relationship where both organizations standard to benefit from a cooperative relationship and not an adversarial relationship as in a company being investigated by the police.
Art has no survival value -- and yet it has persisted since before recorded history. Cave paintings and such, jewelry, etc.
Art in the form of cave paintings can be seen as a form of record keeping directly related to major events and hunting rituals, that would seem to have a relevance to survival.
Jewelery can be seen as both a method of making yourself seem more physically attractive increasing the chance of sexual success and as a method of storing and displaying wealth which would also seem to have survival element for a animal which lives in such large, reasonably mobile social groups.
Just use lower power cell access points with shorter ranges and move them closer together so the same frequency can be used by more people in a given area.
Some how society managed to afford to wire up pretty much every building in the country but providing a wireless access point for every 10 homes to share is too expensive to even contemplate?
But that means paying a competent store manager a wage that a competent store manager would deserve, much cheaper to have 1 guy in head office set the prices and then have glorified store clerk pretending to be store manager ensure the price tags on the shelves match up.
it might otherwise go into the street (where solar panels are not practical)
Run a network of narrow tubes just below the surface of the road, pump water through them to draw off the heat absorbed from the sun to a heat pump of some sort to power a generator.
While I agree you might not want to do that on a major road, nothing to stop you laying it into a car park.
If the casinos gave up their statistical advantage, that is foolish and they'll revise those decisions.
I bet those casino's will be filled with suckers for the next year thinking they are going to win as much as this guy did after reading about it online and probably in the press, and as a result will collectively lose more than he won.
'The irony of this? Perhaps those who buy the copyrights could issue DMCA notices to the Review-Journal stopping them from redistributing them?'
I thought that Righthavens undoing was that they acquired the right to sue copyright infringers from the orginal copyright owners but not the right to publish the articles they were suing over.

Wrong company...
The hosting company is not Megauploads and has not been charged with anything.
It's London, how much climate control is actually needed?

Are you sure it's not greed and immortality leading to money?
Or if there were just simple flat rates of tax for income and/or wealth there would be no advantage to create these shells.
We've got a Conservative government at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if they were looking for ways to help Amazon even more.
And every other country would have united against the US.

I feel kind of bad for RockYou, massively over the top fines like that are just to send a message to other companies [/sarcasm]
Wouldn't blackmail be "pay up or I release this information"?
She has already released the information, that is not what she is asking money for.

Q: Whats the difference between absorbing 100kg of CO2 from air and 100kg of CO2 directly from a power station exhaust? A: Nothing
In both cases you've removed the same insignificant amount of CO2 from the pool of CO2 in the atmosphere.
If the process was more efficient with higher concentrations of CO2 then it might make sense.

Or in Sony's case....

Casino's need a big winner once in a while.
Apple controlled the DRM scheme in iTunes, with Ultraviolet, it's the movie companies which own the DRM scheme and Walmart is just a service provider.

Original Slashdot Article
It means that anyone acquiring these rights will have the same problem that Righthaven had, they can't use them for anything.
the format war is more about licensing than it is about implementation, it doesn't matter whether the browser or the plugin decodes the stream.
