So if I observe the volcano, than the cat is dead? Or the cat may be dead, in some universe? Damn it, I don't think I will ever understand this quantum mechanics stuff - every time I look into it I fear I will genocide cats.
Most likely because you are missing the accent. There is an accent above the first e. Also, in my image search on google.fr without the accent there were quite a few nipple-involved pictures interspersed with vacation photos.
It might not be the bank, it might be the electric company. My electric company supports online bill paying, but I have yet to try it out. And at least in my are you don't get a choice in electric companies, either you are on the grid or you aren't.
I'm not an expert, but why would a volunteer army attack its own country? I think if you saw a true revolution in this country (or any country with a volunteer army, and even most with a compulsory army) the army would quickly be either on the civilian side or split into warring factions.
Isn't there already technology that does this with printers? I seem to remember reading that printers put a certain pattern of yellow dots detectable to anyone with a good scanner, and that at least the FBI had access to a database connecting the pattern to the printer.
Back in the US invasion of Cuba good old Teddy Roosevelt had bodies moved from one battle front to the one his Rough Riders were on for photographic purposes. There are also incidents of a famous civil war photographer having multiple pictures of the same corpse in different poses in multiple locations. This isn't anything new and it will probably never go away as long as photography is an effective medium of communication.
My dentists office has been all Macs for quite a while now. It seems medical research articles are posted fairly frequently on the Apple Hot News section of their website.
k can also be thousands, but in that case I believe it is standard to have it be lower case, and almost always is immediately preceded by a number (i.e. 401k).
In Europe there were a few direct democracies (albeit only white, non-Jewish, land owning males could participate). As for wars, it is not having a republic or some democracy that prevents it, but having bureaucracy slows down the process and prevents some wars. There have been many times a majority of the U.S. wanted to go to war with Britain, France, and Spain, but after independence that only really happened with the war of 1812 and our invasion of Cuba (which was a Spanish colony at the time). As for the policies I listed, they may not of hurt the elite in America, but they sure as hell did in South Africa and in many other places. I think ideally a direct democracy would be a great governing system, but only if the entire population is highly educated, interested in long term and enlightened self-interest, and looks out for the minority. In reality I am veimtly against it, for in reality the population isn't highly educated, many are still mercantilist and don't take enlightened self-interest into account, and often screws over minorities (see Native Americans [not only in USA, but all of the Americas], homosexuals, African-Americans, communists, etc.). Just like communism and anarchy, I think it can look great on paper but ends up looking like hell in reality.
At least in America, the representational system was put in place not due to communications, but from fear of the problems with direct democracy. Under this system it is much easier to go to war, as if everyone gets hot tempered about Canada they can accelerate things with pretty much no checks. Also in this system you are unable to enact positive yet possibly unpopular policy (like freeing slaves, desegregating schools, allowing women to vote, etc.) If you've ever seen the amount of minute tax increases to increase local school funds turned down you would also know the government would have a nightmarish time raising funds. More democratic does not mean better, this is why there are pretty much no democracies in the world anymore.
Wouldn't it be the opposite? I think that the correct choice would be to buy stock, at least I hope people would buy new underwear instead of abandoning the idea.
Is this something that may be practical in boats? Get not only trust but also electrical energy from sails? In addition is this something that could be used on the massive sails mentioned here on slashdot before as an addition to tankers to help cut down fuel use? If so this could be pretty freaking sweet when it advances.
No, you went to the Add/Remove Components control panel and clicked a button. (Might have been in the System control panel in Win 95... I can't remember. Point is, you did it with a GUI.)
Umm... no. That is how you isntalled Windows games. DOS games required at the least the "Shut down and Restart in MS-DOS" option, but in most cases restarted with a bootdisk.
The problem is, you really can't expect end users to use a CLI to install anything.
I think anyone who used a computer during the Windows 3.11 days should be more than capable and maybe even expected to use a CLI. People always point to having to use CLI as saying Linux isn't ready for the desktop, but in my experiance it is more ready than Windows 95. Maybe you didn't have to deal with it, but I remember rigging up countless autoexec.bat and config.sys files and boxes of bootdisk to get program X working on Y computer. Anyone who gamed in Windows 95 had at least a couple bootdisks laying around for DOS games, and in the early days those bootdisks didn't write themselves.
I see this all the time, but I still don't get how people would ever forget they're on slashdot. I mean if they look around they are either at work or in the basement, either way there is at least one window with at least one tab opened to slashdot. I guess it is possible someone might wander to other sites on the internet, but if they do that than what is next - wandering out of the basement!?!?
Man, does that bring back memories, I used to have a U.S. Robotics 28.8k modem, and was in such awe when my father came home one day with a new work laptop equipped with a state of the art 56.6k x2 PCMCIA card.
Don't you think Microsoft Windows would be easier to virtualize if you had the source to it? I thought about this before, and I think that Windows might be filled with so much spaghetti code and hacks that it is better not to know the crazy inner workings. Why figure out all the bends and twists of the Gordian Knot when you can just cut it?
And, since the last one I had to sit through was "Appropriate use of company resources during work hours"..... well take a guess as to how effective they were. Your Nintendo DS is a company resource? Dude, where do you work?
While you are pretty close on conspiracy, "intent to" in almost all circumstances a failed attempt. If you are being charge with armed battery with intent to cause grievous bodily harm you likely committed armed battery and were stopped in the act, preventing you from causing as much harm as you intended to. I only use the words almost and likely because I know our legal system can be screwy in addition to there being exceptions for almost every rule.
Just a small nit-pick. The tragedy of the commons applies to resources one can profit off of and are in limited supply, and/or that the population using the resource is big enough to endanger the sustainability of said resource. Overfishing isn't a problem until you have either more people living off the fish than the fish can reproduce at a rate to accommodate or fisherman have a reason to overproduce (commercial vs. substance farming). The idea is if population and/or fishing isn't regulated all the fish will disappear, followed by the population disappearing. The solution isn't to give control of the resource to one person/company, the solution is to make regulations on the resource and punish those who break said regulations.
I could get a lot more money if I worked in Wyoming, but you won't find me doing that anytime soon. The community in question is actually a combination of established content and established links. If you want to get the people already on utube to switch to another site you have to have some sort of mechanism for them to keep their links to friends and subscription to producers, links to their favorite videos, and all of their videos - which isn't nearly as trivial as copying an address book and letting all of your contacts know your new e-mail address.
I live in a college town just East of my state's capital... and the Wii is impossible to find in at least a 40 mile radius. I think your comment applies for 30 miles from a major metropolitan area, such as a Chicago or Seattle. There are definitely none on the shelves around me, I've been trying to get one since launch:(.
At the time of the founding of Israel, while most of the people in the land were Palestinian, most of the owners of the land were Turkish, Egyptian, and of other Arab nations. Most of the people living in that land were regarded as cheap labour, and very few who lived in the region actually owned land. When first wave of Jewish settlers stated pouring in from Russia they bought land from mainly Turkish landowners. While Arabs may have owned the land they weren't the same Arabs that were living there (and if you think all Arabs are the same than you REALLY need to take a better look at the middle east).

It's so great that an unlocked phone works on one provider!
Seriously, what is the point of an unlocked phone if it only works with one provider?
