You have to pay the cable/satellite bill if you want to keep them...
Ha Ha! Seriously, though. Rogers has been eliminating channels from their basic cable lineup for the past couple of months. They're switching everything over to digital.
Decent programming? Every time I turn on the TV it's a gamble whether or not the actual channels will still be there. History channel: gone. AMC: gone. Space: gone. Peachtree: gone. BET: gone. Spike: gone.
I find it somewhat distasteful that I have to do that, but I've seen at least 5 stories about Dr. Engelbart's death come and go in the firehose. You'd think that the death of the inventor of the mouse would have rated a front page story on a news-for-nerds website like Slashdot.
"As a crowd sourced information tool, the information about dangerous gun sites comes from users." In other words, if I have a grudge against my neighbor, or just want to mess with somebody, can I just post that they are "dangerous" and their home/location appears in the app??
In other words, this will last until the first politician gets tagged.
Nothing is cheaper, because it comes with the machine. The cost is $0.00. If people don't like it, they will upgrade to Windows 7 that they will either pirate themselves, or get it from a friend who knows this guy.
This is why linux isn't where it should be. Why go through the hassle of linux when Windows is free?
That assumes a premeditative dunking; something you'd do if you were inexplicably taking your phone on a canoe trip. What if your "buddy" pushes you into the pool, or off the dock... or you're walking in the rain and a car splashes you.
Um... no. My buying beer from Company A in response to their ads does not mathematically prevent me from buying my regular beer from company B. It's not like there are only a fixed number of customers, or a fixed number of beer purchases that can be shared between the beer companies.
Many economic situations are not zero-sum, since valuable goods and services can be created, destroyed, or badly allocated in a number of ways, and any of these will create a net gain or loss of utility to numerous stakeholders. Specifically, all trade is by definition positive sum, because when two parties agree to an exchange each party must consider the goods it is receiving to be more valuable than the goods it is delivering. In fact, all economic exchanges must benefit both parties to the point that each party can overcome its transaction costs, or the transaction would simply not take place.
Governments are probably only going to be interested in silencing you when you're speaking out against them. That's primarily what the First Ammendment protection is about. However, you're right. It's not just about being able to speak out against the government, but about being able to speak without government interference.
Less than a quarter of the eligible voters voted for their president, and there are similar numbers for support of their constitution. When you have two lions and ten sheep voting on what to have for dinner, and the answer comes up lamb-chops, you don't have a proper democracy. In a sense, it was the same lack of representation as that which triggered America's revolt against British rule.
Enough energy to vapourize a ship would have enough energy to create particle/anti-particle pairs all along its length. The creation/annihilation of these particles would give off radiation in all directions.
Zero sum game? By what metric? Zero sum means that any gain by one party is matched by a corresponding loss by the other parties. If I buy a beer from company A, it does not mean that company B has less customers. It does not mean that company B has fewer sales. It does not mean that company B has less revenue.
I've seen Song of the South. I didn't really see anything wrong with it. It's not like L'il Rascals, where, on a hot day, Stymie wipes his brow and then flicks the sweat off of his hand, and it leaves black marks on the wall.
Some people might not want to sell their works anymore.
Why should they have that choice? They have contributed to society's cultural mosaic. It should be society's choice whether that contribution is continued or not.
There was always shitty music and shitty books. You find the latter in every honkytonk in north america, and every pub in europe. The books, well you never really saw any of that stuff.
WKRP isn't either - at least not in its original form. The producers of the show only licensed the music for television broadcast, not for VHS or DVD sales. So...

Great, just what we need. Another bunch of kids dreaming of space. Hello, McFly? There's nothing out there but dust, ice and rocks. Meanwhile, 99% of the planet's living space remains unexplored.
Balloons don't provide much radiation protection to the electronics in the payloads they carry. It's somewhere on the order of none at all.
Lightweight stuff, particularly stuff with large cross sections, only last a few months before the orbit decays and it burns up in the atmosphere.

I meant he was a criminal *literally*.
Go look at his record as a corporate CEO.
I don't think "criminal" was the profanity that he had in mind

6.82 - 5.38 gives a delta of 1.44, not 0.3

Right. Never had marketing. None whatsoever.
...what's cheaper than Windows 8?

They'll have to enter the hash into the court records as evidence.
Nothing new. I'm sure hash has been on record as evidence in drug cases before.

Well... it sounded good until someone started clouding the issue with facts. :-)

So I don't have the right to set up a loudspeaker tied to a noise cancelling system right next to the soapbox?
