And even worse, every penny put into advertising is a penny that product costs more.
Not true. If they advertise more, they sell more. In order to sell more, they need to make more. In order to make more, they need to buy more raw materials. The raw materials may cost less (per unit) because they are now being bought in bulk. An increase in sales can result in a decrease in per unit costs of production.
The point being made is that it is the TERRORIST who must stop, not the ones being terrorized. I can not-join the NSA all I want. It won't stop the NSA, nor slow it down in the slightest. I'm fairly confident that the bulk of the people in the World Trade Centre towers were not participating in terrorism. That didn't stop them from getting pancaked by a hundred floors of rubble.
future of 3d is really in oculus type of viewers. for one it's useful for the 3d effect that the screens are tied to your face somehow.
That's the problem. Practically every 3D technology is tied to your face somehow - color anaglyphic glasses, linearly polarized glasses, circularly polarized glasses (Real3D), LCD shutter glasses, VR goggles, and a few others. The ones that are not tied to your face have limitations. True holograms are static, and monochromatic. Rainbow holograms lack vertical parallax, as does that thing with the spinning mirror that reflects images from an overhead screen.
Personally, I think we'll be able to tie directly into the visual cortex long before we get real 3D displays going.
Okay, so 46.4% voted 51.7% in favour. Either way, it's still less than a quarter of the eligible voter support. Or to put it another way, over three quarters of the voters were against the guy.
Don't be naive. It's "We don't really want to get dragged into bringing Peace And Democracy to yet another sandbox hellhole, but there's oil there, so what're you gonna do?"
You write the brake processing system as an interrupt service routine, and set a watchdog timer to trigger the NMI every hundredth or thousandth of a second, or whatever. The GPS and entertainment system runs at the application level. It's not that hard, and nothing the GPS does can interfere with brake processing.
I can understand the desire to air gap the systems, but it isn't really necessary.
Yes, the vibrations are the sound. As an audio technician you know that. Your crappy equipment and the auditory hallucinations are exactly as you describe: detecting something that isn't actually there. The false signals are being *interpreted* as sound, yes, but they are not sound. Consider supersonic jets. If sound is the experience of the listener, how can a jet travel faster than that?
This! I once wrote a calculator program for a microprocessor programming course that employed the fact that multiplication is just repeated addition, and addition is just repeatedly incrementing one number while decrementing the other. It worked, but boy, was it dog slow.
Marrow transplants are dangerous, and there's no obvious way to go about making them safer. The problems are a fundamental result of the procedure itself, not simply a side effect. First, you must kill off the patient's bone marrow, there's simply no way around it since the bone marrow is what is causing the problem you are trying to treat. The only ways we know how to do that are with near fatal doses of chemotherapy or radiation. Actually, the doses are fatal, if they do what they are supposed to do and the patient doesn't receive their transplant they will die (when you donate there is a time period after the patient has had their marrow destroyed but before you actually donate, if you change your mind and decide not to donate during that time period the patient will almost certainly die unless another donor can be found and medically cleared in a matter of days). Then there's a period of not days, but weeks where the patient has no functioning immune system to speak of, not to mention severely limited red blood cell production. Then there's graft vs host disease where the immune system rejects it's new host body, essentially like organ rejection except in this case it affects the entire body. Then there's liver and kidney damage (both from the chemo and/or radiation and as a result of the transplant itself) and increased risk of cancer (not related to the original cancer being treated).
And that's all assuming that a suitable match can be found, which isn't guaranteed. A non-ideal donor increases the risk of complications, especially graft vs host (but can actually reduce the risk of cancer relapse interestingly). Part of the reason a donor can't always be found is that there simply aren't enough people on the registry, largely because people have this notion that donation is an extremely painful process. This was true in the past, but most donors now donate peripheral stem cells, where a drug (filgrastim) is given for a few days and donation is done through vein in the arm.
My brother-in-law is going through this right now, except he is acting as his own donor. They extracted some of his stem cells before the procedure, and have re-implanted them. He's in the immune system rebuild phase now.

At half a gram per cubic metre or 0.0005 kg/m^3, your 10^6 kg would make a cloud of 2 cubic kilometers, or two typical cumulus clouds.

The right to free speech is about the right to not be silenced no matter what you feel like you want to say.
No. The right to free speech is about the right to not be silenced by the government no matter what you feel like you want to say.

Free speech is about being allowed to speak out against the government. It has nothing to do with advertising whatsoever.
Two lions and a sheep vote on whats for dinner...
Mutton, obviously. However, if mutton is still the main course when there are two lions and ten sheep, then you have a problem.

would said hot-self encased meat be kosher?
Considering that human meat is called long pig, I doubt it.
Well, considering that the current tags get wrapped around a handle, they do nothing to prevent your bag being searched.
Except that first class, the front of the plane, gets seated first.

The 33% of the people who showed up for the election voted 64% in favour of electing this guy, yes.

"Aboriginal" can also mean "being the first or earliest known of its kind present in a region", in which case the usage is appropriate.
They also danced better.
Unless they moved too quick, then they fell down like dominoes.

On the other hand, massively parallel computation is what spreadsheets are and what GPU is good at.

The cures for pandemics have never been a product of corporate research... They are always the product of government funded or subsidized research.
... and who do you think the government is funding or subsidizing? Oh! That's right, the corporate research facilities.
No, the ones they are trying to ban come from killing humans while they are in their fetal or embryonic stage.

If blood emits sound waves, but they can't be heard, does it make a sound?
Yes. The existence of sound waves is independent of an active listening agent.
Using different computers for braking and GPS isn't going to make the car any safer, and it's not going to save any lives in a collision.
