"But it may be a case of too little, too late as "a report (PDF) released in August forecasted that U.S. websites will lose US$21.8 billion in ad revenue this year due to ad blockers," writes Jeremy Kirk.".... Really?
That's a very large assumption, just like the RIAA's claims of lost sales due to piracy. With or without ad blockers, I never click on ads. If I want to buy something I seek it out and research it online before buying via online or brick and mortar. If an ad is a popover, auto play video or audio ad, or any other type of ad that gets in the way or slows down my access to viewing a website I wish to visit, I will leave before the page loads. Embedded static ads are the way to go. Why should I have to wait on a slow third party ad sever to decide which irrelevant ad to show me?
I had to laugh when I visited their website, they build a hurricane resistant house on a non-hurricane resistant sandbar(in the rendering). That is one of the problems facing us, the idiotic notion that a sandbar, sometimes called a barrier island, is a good place to build permanent structures. We shouldn't waste private and public money on these areas as well as flood plains along lakes and rivers.
Bob Lutz may be an icon of the automotive industry, but he is also a protector of the Detroit old guard automotive types.
So when Bob says, "And when it comes to actually making cars," Lutz said, "there is no reason to assume that Apple, with no experience, will suddenly do a better job than General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota or Hyundai. So I think this is going to be a gigantic money pit, but then it doesn't matter. I mean Apple has an embarrassment of riches, they don't know where to put the cash anymore. So if they burn 30 or 40 billion dollars in the car business, no one's going to notice.",
I hear: "Apple may force the old guard automotive types to once again step up to the plate and innovate and compete with this newcomer called Apple." And they hate to change unless forced to. Change costs money they hate to spend.
It seems HP has as much concern for it's workers a human waste, they both get jettisoned. So rather than meet cost of living payroll obligations they just shift the work overseas because of course that will create more consumers that can afford to buy their products in the US?
Flash has it's inherent problems , but lately the bigger problem is a webpage freezing until all the Ad's load. They could at least host the Ad's on the same server. I know part of the delay is looking up your special cookie for each Ad so you can be targeted.
Preacher: Are you a sinner? Do you wish to be saved?
Dr. James Xavier: Saved? No. I've come to tell you what I see. There are great darknesses. Farther than time itself. And beyond the darkness... a light that glows, changes... and in the center of the universe... the eye that sees us all.
[Looks up at the sky]
Dr. James Xavier: No!
Preacher: You see sin and the devil! But the lord has told us what to do about it. Said Matthew in Chapter Five, "If thine eye offends thee... pluck it out!"
We so often discuss what the "Big Bang" may be, but we rarely discuss what the... let's call it... Edge of the Universe is like. Would it be a discrete boundary or a diffusion of particles and energy perhaps even a new set of physical laws?
Most "Poor" work part-time due to the trend of employers not wanting to pay benefits as required for full-time employees, therefore they work less hours. This obviously skews this stories observation. Also most higher income jobs are salaried with no overtime pay therefore they like salaried employees to work overtime and employers of part-time or full-time employees try to avoid OT pay whenever possible.
I bet Jack Tramel's death won't get the kind of coverage that Steve Jobs got. His 6502 CPU (plus variants) were used in Atari 2600/5200/7800 consoles, Atari computers, Apple I/II/IIgs computers, Nintendo ES and Super Nintendo consoles. His Commodore and Atari companies popularized music, video, and preemptive tasking when the Macs/PCs were going "beep" and had about 4 colors.
And yet after today we'll probably never hear about him again. And yes the Commodore 64 was and still is the record-holder for most machines sold (peak years: 1983-86). The runner-ups:
Facebook is against users giving potential employers access to their user accounts only because is undermines Facebooks ability to sell that same information those same potential employers?
While the use of contaminated materials is something to be concerned about, let's not forget how much radiation this actually is. It's roughly the equivalent of one chest CT scan per year.
Yeah and Doctors are being told not to order CT scans unless absolutely needed. I know because my doctor was upset when he found out I was given a CT in a visit to the Emergency Room after recently having had 2 CT's. CT's are much higher and longer duration doses of X-rays than a standard X-ray. All this coupled with the fact that my treament later was to require fluoroscopy. It's the accumilation of radiation over time from many sources that can put you in danger.

Well I don't know about these other assholes... But I'm not him. I'm not me either. Maybe I'm you.

i hate these baby steps. they should have gone straight for dilithium crystals.
I was thinking more like Beryllium Spheres.

So the solution for the car thief is to know what the garbage collection day is for your street. Just park it somewhere else.
This study reminds me that 25% to35% of our TV viewing time per hour is taken up with commercials.
See what happens when weak minded people watch Capricorn One.
I wonder if the court has a place on their website to comment on their rulings?
If so then.... open the floodgates of comments!
Back in the '60s I was able to control the image quality on the invention of Philo Taylor Farnsworth just by waving my arms.
So living things will eventually lead to Flat Earth due to erosion. Maybe I should have said flat earth, as in soil under your feet.

In the video, it looked like the booster came in too hot(fast) on final approach. This necessitated more severe corrections just prior to touchdown.

Do this and you'll have an increase of burglaries committed by the vertically challenged.
Maybe it's in the same hands as the missing pallets in Iraq?

I was going to say something along the same lines "that users feel safer" [in the house of their lord].
But I was also going to say "uhm... you think churches DON'T make money?!" They make LOTSA... tax-free money.
