I got a paypal phish forwarded to me by another ebayer -- possibly the scammer himself, possibly one who'd been scammed -- more than a year ago. So paypal phishing has been around for a while.
Is the data really gone, or is it simply the reader that can no longer handle the tolerances? Are the dots truly gone, or just harder to read? It could be that archivists and the rest of us need more tolerant, but slower-reading devices for when we have flaky discs.
Really, the big advantage stone tablets have is huge amounts of redundancy, but a very small amount of actual data. DVDs could have multiple repetitions of the data on different parts of the disc for fault tolerance.
It has become more than a merely descriptive phrase, though. It has become a well known term; a trademark if even I may say.
No, not a trademark; the proper description, I think, would be a "term of art."
'As defined in Random House Webster's Dictionary of the Law (James E. Clapp), a term of art is "a word or phrase having a special meaning in a particular field, different from or more precise than its customary meaning."'
BTW, Russ, it's fun to read your Angry Economist, and then use google groups to see what you've said in the past: "I love it when libertarians reveal their innate illiteracy. Pray, tell me, Perry, where is the declaration of the inalienable right to property? Oh, you made it up? Because it was expedient? And it fit in with your precious propertarianism? I thought so."
...and not be so quick to shout "Groundbreaking! Yay! How do they do it? fantastic!" when we know it's a logical extension of an existing market.
Perhaps, but logic doesn't seem to be big business's strong suit. HP/Gateway, for example, has sufficient resources that it could have created a stylish mini-PC, small music players, even a Unix OS with a consumer-friendly UI. Instead, they're trying to hang on selling standard consumer PCs and living off their printer business.
However, in you example I wouldn't mind the guy getting shot/electrocuted/hanged/the needle for the drugs. Mainly cause I had a friend die from ODing.
I know someone who, after getting drunk, nearly choked on their own vomit. Neither of us wanted to murder the folks at Bacardi thereafter. Why do you want to do the equivalent?
I've heard about propaganda that "kids smell bullshit," but how many geniuses did you know from grade school?
My fifth grade son asked me if I knew that there were more than 100 poisons in alcohol (um, son, there's only *alcohol* in alcohol), and that smoking marijuana caused brain damage.
You're missing the whole point of Firefox! Simplicity man! No bloat. Nothing installed that doesn't have to be installed.
So make them options in the installer. They're so small relative to the app that the download time would hardly be affected. Have an option somewhere in the installer to install a short list of extensions, to choose one of a small list of interface settings, etc.
The Mac Mini is NOT the first small machine out there.
No, but it's the smallest I know of with a name manufacturer behind it. Most Shuttles seem to be user-built, which shrinks the potential market massively.
so, in order to stop someone who you perceive as wealthy getting more wealth, you are going to prevent me from increasing my wealth?
No, I want to stop you borrowing money to increase someone else's wealth. You've suddenly borrowed the amount you've gotten.
Or let's say, instead, we implement it without government borrowing, but make it simpler to visualize by making it a specific tax. Since we're already spending all incoming social security money, it would have to be all new taxes. Say, 5% of your AGI, which you can invest in a number of reasonable schemes.
So how is this different from you taking 5% of your AGI and investing it now?
whats wrong with giving people power over their retirement?
Nothing! That's why I have a 401(k), IRAs, and general savings.
But there is no Social Security savings to give people power over. All money currently taken in either gets paid to current retirees, or (effectively) goes into the general fund. To fund these personal accounts, the government would have to borrow trillions of dollars. So what Bush is proposing is that the government borrow these trillions in your name, and then give them to you to invest in specific ways. Now, is it a wise or even helpful strategy to borrow money to invest for retirement? No investment counsellor I've ever met would advise it.
The net effect of Bush's plan would be for us all to borrow lots of money and put it in the stock market, not so coincidentally making lots of money for the people who already own the market.
HR people make hiring decisions? Not in any company I've worked for. They may help get resumes, etc., but the interviewing has always been done by tech people.
so much for "Boeing has no plan for a competing aircraft."
The Dreamliner isn't a competing aircraft. It's only 200 to 250 seats. This isn't the largest fuselage, it's the largest single-piece fuselage all from composite materials, thus reducing weight, maintenance, etc.
There are lots of fossils of discovered species, but there seems to be huge, unfilled gaps between these species in the fossil records.
It's the law of the excluded middle. Assume you have moderately similar fossils A and B, and you find C which seems to be between them. Now the complaint is that there's a gap between A and C, and between B and C.
For example, heard of trilobites? Over 15,000 species have been found.

My employment contract states quite clearly that I do not discuss company policy outside of the company.
Umm, so didn't you just do so?

Can't anybody make an honest dollar anymore.
Amen, brother.

Thank you, I'll be here all week.
I don't think that the loss over that short of an analog link would be something to care about.
It's not cable loss, it's the D/A and A/D converters themselves that are less than perfect, and thus introduce noise.
But the fact that you actually know who "the other guy from Wham!" is, well thats indescribably lame.
So is showing that you know the other guy from Wham! is while flaming someone else for it...
I am using Firefox, but mentioning that would spoil the joke.
I'm not sure I want to follow that link...
Concorde, at least in British Airways service, ran at a profile
Profile? Do you mean profit?

Can't really shed a tear for those people, especially since I despise Peoplesoft apps.
How much of a role do HR, et al have in the quality of a company's apps? I don't ask our accountants what they think of a new feature's UI...
Do you REALLY think salary is the only consideration?
I'd say it is for the garbageman, otherwise he'd stay home.
Not in floating point.
Think of the planet Venus. Covered in clouds, and hotter than Mercury.
