Ask for stock options. Basically, you get an agreement that within a certain period on time you can purchase shares at the price the shares sit at when you make the agreement. Now with a start-up they will likely make the shares available a little at a time (vesting) e.g. The shares are worth a dollar now, and they give you options for 50,000 shares. The shares are 20% vested upfront and vest 20% absolute every year for the following 4 years. That means after 4 years you have the option to buy 50,000 shares for $50,000 no matter the share price, even if they go down. BUT after 2 years you would only be able to buy 20,000 shares at $20,000 and if you leave you only get to carry your vested portion, normally for a period of time. The bottom-line is that with every golden handshake, there's a golden handcuff.
Raging storms on earth, the reappearance of the Jupiter Southern Equatorial belt with more storms than normal and now Saturn. Seriously, what are we missing?
What's a Diablo?
I grew up with Diablo, I enjoyed Diablo II, but cummon! Can you not think of something a little more original? If the game ends up being so different to Diablo I/II that it's not really Diablo call it something else and let it stand on it's own merit. Stop mooching off the name. If the game is a modernized version of I/II then I'm not interested. I'll just go buy me a "been there done that ooooo pretty graphics" t-shirt.
If think first we have to define online news.
'I just got a Prince Albert - PiXieT@P' may not be news that I'm interested in, but his Facebook crowd would likely be thrilled by this nugget of information.
"At Fog Creek (Joel's company), I believe they have catered lunches every day"
That's nice, personally I'd rather see that money go into my O&M budget, or YEGADS! my salary. Glad they have so much that they can just throw it around this way.
Not sure on the wind turbine front, but vehicle-wise The Argonne National Lab. developed the GREET model (http://greet.es.anl.gov/). It's a Life Cycle Cost Analysis model for the evaluation of various vehicles and fuel combinations on a full fuel-cycle/vehicle-cycle basis. You end up with cool conclusions like "According to the GREET model a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) that weighs 2,632 pounds requires 102 million BTU to make, or 38,650 BTU/lb. This small difference in production energy becomes negligible when you factor in the increased fuel efficiency. The Toyota Prius has a curb weight of 3,042 lbs, so its manufacture used roughly 117.6 million BTU (mmbtu)" (http://www.treehugger.com/files/2011/04/ask-pablo-hybrid-cabs.php)
I have no problem paying a State Sales Tax for internet purchases, but I expect to pay the sales tax rate of the business location, not of where I live (unless the business is in my State). They way they can all establish shell addresses in Oregon.
BUT it's an Apple 8MP camera, which means that it doesn't follow the same general rules as other 8 MP cameras and will likely increase sales by 300%. We all know that generic Apple components are better than other generic components. (where is the sarcasm emoticon when you need it?)
I'm not advocating what they're intending, quite the opposite, but I think the anonymous source was meaning more 'If we litigate we can give ourselves more time have a chance to figure out what the hell we can do in response', which would be a thought process that should be occurring. If you're about to be eaten by a bear, do you stand there and get eaten, or run around a bit hoping that you come up with a better idea before the bear finally catches you? (I couldn't think of a car analogy)
The preferred Doctor seems to be the one you grow up with. My elder sister was a Pertwee fan I was a Baker fan. However, in saying this, I would start at Baker. The style of the show (while remaining lovingly cheesy) became more along the lines of what you may be used to in today's age. As mentioned, Hartnell and Troughton led shows more aimed at the younger generation and Hartnell was depicted as a grandfather figure to young Susan, so the episodes can get a little parental preachy. The problem for me with Pertwee was the true embracement of late 60's early 70's culture. The electronic synth that runs constantly through his episodes will drive your brain nuts. However, Terror of the Autons introduced the Master and for that I thank the 3rd Dr. (The Deadly Assassin was the best Master episodes in my opinion). The 'maturing' of the Dr. became apparent in Tom Bakers role with the addition of Leela (The Face of Evil), where the older males started to be attracted to the show due to her skimpy outfits (I still remember my Dads comments). In my opinion this bought in a new mature audience that then started to redefine the approach.
I never really thought that Tom Baker could be surpassed until the second season with Tenet; he really did fit the role around then.The other things that are worth watching are the older movies made in the 60's with Peter Cushing as the Dr (Day of the Daleks and Daleks-Invasion Earth). Different premise somewhat to the series, but Cushing fit the role well and was a mature contrast to Hartnell.
These of course are just my ramblings as a life long fan of DW who hit 40 last year.
I purchased 2 GTX465's for $400 total inc. tax and Sli'd them. The 465's are going cheap as people didn't like the power consumption, but I don't care about power consumption (it's really unnoticeable with an i5 and 750W PS). They give top notch in-game performance (where the test is simply playing the game) for BC2 (60c)/COD:BO (60c)/Crysis 2 (80c) and Deathspank.
Caveat - I am not an astronomer.
Actually, I agree with the original poster the article is confusing. I believe that they swap the point of reference without announcing they did.
While the initial units are in Earth years:
"as Titan takes two weeks to go around Saturn and Saturn takes 29 years to complete one circuit of the Sun."
They then move to either the Saturn or Titan point of reference, as it would make no sense comparing Earths 'time of year' to a warming period for Titan
"McEwan says the atmospheric models predicted that there would be clouds in the equatorial regions at this time of year, as the sun on Titan got warmer. "We saw these clouds suddenly, and then we saw the equatorial area darken," he said."
As the warming period for Titan must be associated to Saturns position relative to the Sun I can only assume that this second seasonal reference is based on Staurns orbital year. Which would then also explain why the article claims the seasons are 'years long' as it is talking about Saturn seasons in Earth years.
I didn't notice any difference, but who am I other than an average person who does average things on smart phones that don't appear to be any faster than each other...to me
I'm torn on this one as I am for one being able to do what one wants with a product if no one else is affected, but I'm also really at my limit with online prickishness. So part of me says that this is clearly overreaching on BioWares part, but the larger part on me says good, perhaps he'll learn some manners and it's sad that BioWare has to be the parent, whether he's 14 or 40, and teach him about being civil in society.
I'm trying to think about it with a slashdot car analogy; someone cut's me off I'm the first to want the car taken away from them, then they couldn't drive their car on a private track. Who's fault is that? - Haven't quite rationalized the punishment yet though.

You also forget that it is used extensively in naval warfare and can kill you if you are exposed to too much at one time.

...because women, generally, don't want them?
Therefore men don't get to have them. Seems to be pretty standard for most guys I know.
