The talk about "hyper local" and relate it to the 5 digit zip which can still encompass thousands of people. Hyper local to me would be if the went to the 9 digit zip, which would be basically a city block, or apartment building/complex.

Well said. Seems like I remember a while back (several election cycles) they did a poll not on how reporters voted but on who they donated money to. Where something like 90% of most media organizations reporters/staff/etc donated to liber

Of any single device? I'm not sure, all combined maybe. The B&N nook alone is probably the most common one but probably only a half million units sold. So even all combined probably not.

note, the following is from the curmudgeonly/cynical side of my personality. Gridlock is a feature not a defect. Gridlock is what keeps politicians from running roughshod over the public. Have you really considered how much damage a gover

Don't rule out the nook. Since the nook supports ePub(with DRM) you can probably check out eBooks from your local library. Since the Kindle is a closed ecosystem that does not support ePub that channel is cut off from you.

So if I want to read it on my old Palm TX I can? No of course not because the DRM won't let me convert it into a format any of the eBook readers for the old Palm OS support.

Hmmm.... Just checking prices it's about $10 more to fly round trip from Omaha to Denver vs. going from Omaha to Denver by Amtrak. The plane ride (including travel to/from the airports) would probably cost me about 4 hours of my life each

The only thing I'd add is water quality matters ... a lot. When I moved to a new office building the coffee was really crappy, even my freshly ground beans had a horrible taste. I switched to using the bottled water the company provides a

I can neither confirm or deny that you are a bigot, I'm just surprised that the FOI request forms have a box for religion. Can you send along your dataset?

Perhaps some horticulturists are rabbits? My wife planted about 120 tulip bulbs, which was nice the first year but by the second the rabbits found them, from there on all we ever saw was stems and leaves.

The rovers also had to be designed to withstand the rigors of interplanetary transit and landing on Mars. The driving around bits are less prone to damaging the rovers.

I think real. Although I didn't read all of the article I think the main thrust was that since 2pi appears in so many places in math that a constant based on the ratio of circumference to radius rather than diameter would be more appropria

Yes but if I pay off the card every month then the bank is eating the cost of providing the credit. For example if I spend $500 over the month, by the time I get the statement and pay it by the due date I've probably had the use of the mon

Not all Cardholder issuing banks are also Merchant issuing banks. And when they are often times the Card issuing side is a separate division/department and their bonuses, etc. are based on their division's/department's profitability.

That is a good question. Since I've only just started exploring the possibility of using a Brett strain in a batch of beer (I have ordered a Brettanomyces Claussenii culture) I haven't really explored it's use in other areas. For what it's

I'd venture he is talking about a short buzz like a military cut. I generally put the number 2 comb on the clippers and have at it, leaves about 1/4-3/8 inch. In the winter I let it get a little longer, go to a #4.

What about Brettanomyces which is also used in many beers either by itself, in conjunction with Saccharomyces, or in conjunction with other fermenters like lactobacillus and pediococcus (for sour beer styles like Lambics)?
