Let's match anecdote for anecdote: I've been in the industry for nearly 25 years, and I've used calculus quite a few times and statistics (beyond just mean/stddev type stuff) fairly regularly. Also a wild FFT and/or DCT has appeared a few times here and there. I'll readily admit my career has been a little different than most, including a near decade long stint at a NASA-funded research lab, but I've also had some of that stuff rear its head in odd places you might not expect, like doing predictive analysis programs for a manufacturing company, or programs to optimize course scheduling for college students. These tasks could not have been completed without at least exposure to more advanced mathematics.
It looks like greencine.com is pretty much in a neglected state now, unfortunately. From the home page: "GreenCine Hot 15 Hottest Titles Jan-Feb '13". If they haven't updated their home page in a year and a half, I wonder...
Let's scan it for Heartbleed. It's still vulnerable to what is arguably the most publicized vulnerability in the history of the internet over three months since the story broke. Whether they still operate or not, I cannot say, but I'm not going to find out by giving them my credit card.:-(
That might be a part of it, but I've received 3 payments from insurance companies of other drivers from their liability and not once was an attorney actually brought in, or was a lawsuit mentioned. Well, I did think about it on one occasion, because the insurance company was dragging their feet and took weeks to schedule a fix (seriously, Farmer's sucks), but in the other two cases I had a check in my hand within 72 hours of the incident.
What mechanism would you provide to ensure people are compensated for loss when another party is at fault?
The only insurance that is required by law in any state I've lived in is liability, i.e. if I fuck up other people's shit or lives, I have some ability to see to it they are compensated. The only time I've been required to carry insurance that compensates for the damage to my car is if I financed it and I still owe money on it, and it's the (private) lender doing that, and understandably so.
Assuming there's not a business process patent on it, in which case you'll have licensing fees to work out first. There is the prior art argument working in your favor though.
The GP should say "publicly traded corporations" not just corporations in general. Being a private corporation, it can be run pretty much by whatever mandate the owner(s) want to, as long as what is done is not otherwise illegal. Newegg is privately held.
Generally if you just say "I'm not interested. Have a nice day." then close the door, that will be the end of it. If you get an especially pesky one, sometimes calling the local JW branch and politely asking to be removed from their list will fix it.
Arguing with them, or telling them you're a devil worshipper is about the worst thing you can do if you want them to leave you alone, as from their perspective you are now a challenge God has put before them.
And if you look carefully at your bill, you will probably find your actual cents per kWh is lower as most electric companies charge just to be attached to the grid. Mine charges $15 a month for that.
The whole prison system in Ohio is massively corrupt, and based on profit. The worst thing you can do for a prisoner in Ohio is buy things for them and take phone calls from them (at $1/minute), because they will get their appeal denied, even if the victims of the crime come to the parole board and say "let him out, he's served enough time."
Well, in the US anyways, we have this concept called "innocent until proven guilty*" and that cuts both ways. Believe me, I'm no fan of the direction of modern "law enforcement" with its increasingly paramilitary outlook, and I don't trust the police** much at all. But on a jury? If there's no evidence they're lying, you shouldn't convict because they might be lying.
* - I know. I've been on enough juries to know this is laughable in the real world. If I'm ever accused of a crime, I will waive my right to jury trial unless I'm going for the hail mary of jury nullification.
** - but I don't trust organizations of any kind. YMMV. I trust in individuals, and there are a couple cops out there who have earned it from me.

What you say! These is much English goodly!

I have an Odyssey, too, and it's pretty good for a mini-van. We got it because dogs, not kids, but many of the use cases are similar.
I do miss my Fusion Hybrid that I traded in for it, though. Pretty car, and I liked paying a lot less for gas.
Quit being dense. He was specifically referring to the person that jacks the car, not bystanders.
Toast, orange juice, 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, and black coffee in a Holiday Inn in Elk City, Oklahoma, on a cross-country road trip.
No, I don't have a memory of all my breakfasts, you just picked a lucky week. :)

Some people mod humor as "insightful" because "funny" didn't/doesn't contribute positive karma to the recipient, whereas "insightful" does.

Well, technically, Apple launched exclusively with Cingular, then they merged with AT&T.
Relax, I was going for funny. I guess that didn't work.
And exclusively with AT&T?! Let me rush right out of here... and start shorting AMZN.
But now you have, so it must be true! :)
I believed it until the IPO. Once a company goes public, all bets are off.
Also, Nixon was never impeached. He resigned before it got that far.
Oh, the horror! I guess not supporting Fox News isn't really that important after all.

I thought it was 59.5. Did they change that?
Oh? I have a SIM card in my Verizon phone. It's required for LTE.

It's progress, but with very different metrics.

Neurons aren't even within several orders of magnitude as fast as transistors: linky1 and linky2.
However, a single typical neuron does a lot more work than a single transistor, computationally speaking.
