Is it a computer model or a model in actual nature? As a programmer, a computer model by definition has bugs related to the biases of the programmer. For instance, in actual nature, increased CO2 usually results in easier plant growth, automatically neutralizing (much? most? all?) of the CO2. Does the model include or exclude this fact?
Look at their Kinect. Microsoft did everything they could to keep it from becoming a mass-market device. Why? They could have written a PC driver in 1 day and sold thousands overnight, so why not? Makes you wonder. But in a nutshell, this is what happens when you try to drive the market instead of responding to it. It has to be a 2-way street between the consumer and the producer.
Or, you could be the one that's mistaken. That's why the Bible is the best-selling book of all time and every year:
The familiar observation that the Bible is the best-selling book of all time obscures a more startling fact: the Bible is the best-selling book of the year, every year. Calculating how many Bibles are sold in the United States is a virtually impossible task, but a conservative estimate is that in 2005 Americans purchased some twenty-five million Bibles—twice as many as the most recent Harry Potter book. The amount spent annually on Bibles has been put at more than half a billion dollars.
But other research has found that ninety-one per cent of American households own at least one Bible—the average household owns four—which means that Bible publishers manage to sell twenty-five million copies a year of a book that almost everybody already has.
It's OK if you haven't figured out yet what everyone else has, God is patient...
Between those three religions you have tens of millions slaughtered in pointless wars over minor differences in doctrine. This stuff isn't even in the distant past. I can find examples in the last century where each of these religions has committed terrible atrocities.
Well, it's a good thing that atheists like Hitler, Stalin and Mao are so much better, then...
Because Fry's, unlike Best Buy, has low prices and a great layout. Their support is horrible to non-existent, but as long as you know what you want, it's a great place.
Exactly this. It's now pointless to try out some gadgets at Best Buy. I couldn't even try a phone the last time I was there. I knew it ran Android and I liked the physical keyboard, but the screen was a plastic image.
And RT will be the downfall of Microsoft. All of Microsoft's coder base that grew up on.NET will slowly migrate to other technologies... In business, if you make someone choose, they will almost always choose the competitor.
Maybe the timings were in milliseconds instead of seconds (or a new version of the software suddenly thought they were). Now, 30 minutes of fireworks gets done in 1.8 seconds. But since fuses take a couple seconds and some are longer than others, you get a total of 15 seconds.
It is no exaggeration to say that on Sundays in Washington during the administrations of Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) and of James Madison (1809-1817) the state became the church. Within a year of his inauguration, Jefferson began attending church services in the House of Representatives. Madison followed Jefferson's example, although unlike Jefferson, who rode on horseback to church in the Capitol, Madison came in a coach and four. Worship services in the House--a practice that continued until after the Civil War--were acceptable to Jefferson because they were nondiscriminatory and voluntary. Preachers of every Protestant denomination appeared. (Catholic priests began officiating in 1826.) As early as January 1806 a female evangelist, Dorothy Ripley, delivered a camp meeting-style exhortation in the House to Jefferson, Vice President Aaron Burr, and a "crowded audience." Throughout his administration Jefferson permitted church services in executive branch buildings. The Gospel was also preached in the Supreme Court chambers.
Jefferson's actions may seem surprising because his attitude toward the relation between religion and government is usually thought to have been embodied in his recommendation that there exist "a wall of separation between church and state." In that statement, Jefferson was apparently declaring his opposition, as Madison had done in introducing the Bill of Rights, to a "national" religion. In attending church services on public property, Jefferson and Madison consciously and deliberately were offering symbolic support to religion as a prop for republican government.
Notice that during his administration, Jefferson appropriated funds for Christian missionaries to evangelize the heathen, as Justice Rehnquist noted:
As the United States moved from the 18th into the 19th century, Congress appropriated time and again public moneys in support of sectarian Indian education carried on by religious organizations. Typical of these was Jefferson's treaty with the Kaskaskia Indians, which provided annual cash support for the Tribe's Roman Catholic priest and church. The treaty stated in part:
"And whereas, the greater part of said Tribe have been baptized and received into the Catholic church, to which they are much attached, the United States will give annually for seven years one hundred dollars towards the support of a priest of that religion . . . [a]nd . . . three hundred dollars, to assist the said Tribe in the erection of a church." 7 Stat. 79.
Why do I care? The included video app plays every video in my video share already (except TiVo.ty), even weird formats like.3g2. If the included app already plays everything, who cares about VLC?
What's less than stellar about Android? I've had good success on my phone and tablet, and so have my family. In fact, the device that is the worst to use and gets the most complaints is my daughter's iPod with iOS.
But with the axe, you really have to understand the tree, the grains of the particular tree that you are cutting. With the chopper, you can just cut anything. But it's noisy and you can't get in tune with nature...

I used to run around barefoot a lot in Hawaii when I was a boy (I'm not Obama!)
Clearly not! Because you were born in Hawaii...I kid, I kid...

This time I just bought the Samsung Galaxy SII directly from Sprint because it was the highest-rated.

Well THERE's your problem. All my .mp4 and .m4v files work just fine on my original Transformer.

I'm pretty sure John Nash got a Nobel Prize for pointing out exactly this.

I'm pretty sure they made cars that wouldn't stop and then blamed the drivers for driver error while hiding the source code for about 5 years.

Where's my mod points? This is funny.
And yet, in modern cars (even my 9-year-old car), it's literally impossible for a human to outshift the automatic transmisson by any measurement.
