Is time factored into attach rates? Because if the 360 has twice the total attach rate, and has been out for twice as long, then the Wii has the same attach rate per unit of time.
If you have a lot of domestic flights going to an international gateway for the purposes of connecting onto your international flights, you're naturally going to get people connecting at the hub for domestic flights anyways. Also, the hubs where the problems are worst aren't busy just because they're hubs--they're also the largest cities. NYC is going to have a lot of travel demand whether or not you intentionally hub there, and once you add all those point-to-point flights to NYC, people are going to connect between them. Voila, instant hub.
International flights are operated under treaties which frequently place restrictions on number of weekly flights allowed by all flag carriers. (Not everyone has Open Skies with the USA.) Plus, flying over large bodies of water requires planes that either have more than two engines, or are rated for long distances under a single engine. (Not that they frequently lose an engine any more the way four-engined piston planes used to when the rule was made, but a rule's a rule.) Even in Open Skies cases, some airports (ie. London Heathrow) are heavily slot-constrained. What this all means is that you can't in general fly smaller planes point-to-point on international routes. You often have to fly the biggest plane you can, because you only get one flight a day. (This is what motivated Airbus Industrie to make the A380.) Thus, carriers that have both international and domestic routes are forced into a hub-and-spoke model because they have to get people to the hub to get them on the international flight.
If an audible alarm isn't required, why not vibrate the phone vigorously? If you're holding it you'll feel it but it probably won't be audible, at least to anyone else.
as in the logical fallacy by that name. Here's CNet's basic argument:
Mobile gaming will only get better if Nintendo makes a phone.
Mobile gaming must get better.
Therefore, Nintendo must make a phone.
While the first predicate is debatable, the second is clearly contentious. Why should mobile gaming get better? Why is this necessary? To whom is this necessary?
I've never seen someone get angry about a trademark becoming the generic name. Where were you when people xeroxed their documents? And if I get a physical photo shop to dodge or burn some part of a photo, would that not also be photo shopping?
...and the new natural causes. A lot of people whose cause of death was attributed to one of those probably died of cancer. A big difference is we keep getting better at diagnosing it.
You can use relays to make a switch (basically one bit of SRAM) which is activated by holding a portable Tesla Coil to one of two terminals, right? Now _that_'s science fictiony!
My understanding is that in Japan, there are unions, but they're not industry-wide unions for a class of jobs like they are here. All the Toyota employees are in the Toyota union. This means the union leadership has to care about Toyota staying healthy. If Ford dies, the UAW survives, even if a bunch of its members are out of jobs. If Toyota dies, the Toyota workers' union dies with it. It also means you don't get infighting between unions over whose job it is to do something.
Does it count if we give our farmers corn subsidies, and they sell the corn cheaply to tortilla makers, which reduces the incentive for Mexican farmers to grow corn; then we start making ethanol out of corn, which uses up all the surplus and drives the cost of tortillas up in Mexico to the point where poor families can't afford them any more?
You remind me of a story where you could go to prison in advance (for a lesser term) in exchange for the right to break a law later. Two friends check in to prison intending to commit legal murder on their release. (I think one was having an affair with the other's wife, so the married one was going to use his murder to kill his wife, and the other was going to use his to kill the friend so he could run off with the wife.) After they serve their sentences, they find they're not so interested in the murder, so they use their time served for a life-long spree of petty crimes.

I don't know... was Star Fax 64 bought by a lot of single women? Didn't think so.

It sprung a fuel leak. No number of engines would have kept it in the air.

Well, he was probably going to get SMG anyways. Get him Zack and Wiki instead.
Sadly for him, the the Mayans had not invented the flashlight or the map.

I remember that all River Phoenix wanted for his share of the reward was the phone number of the female NSA agent.
The Westworld poster had the original, which was, "Where nothing can possibly go worng..." with the letters of worng falling out of line.

Wasn't there a more obvious (and more terrible) Cowboy Bebop knock-off called Starhunter? One of those awful syndicated jobs, I think.
If the opening is "The Light Before We Land" by The Delgados I'm totally calling foul.
