I suppose so. It's like that for everything though. If I want to draw a drawing, some part of me is picturing the drawing before it flows out, usually looking much worse than it did in my head. If I'm writing a program, some part of me i

Name recognition/branding. I otherwise would have never heard of this Dr. Rogers. Now I've heard of him and I am probably more likely to think he is "with it". Not that this branding will ever help him much with me, but I think that is w

I think if someone believes what we, as a country, are doing is wrong they should speak out. The sums and future commitments involved in all of this are absolutely enormous and if someone thinks it is being misspent this is the time to say

I am amazed "tax free" isn't anywhere in that article. Being tax free and having what is certainly a more affluent shopping base absolutely can't hurt in tight economic times. I will say Prime is simply amazing. Amazon with it and Amazon

The stuff on teaching was just amazing. His graph on what makes a good teacher was jaw dropping to me. Once he put it out there, it was really hard for me to avoid the question of why we are not focusing more on what makes good teacher pe

The first book I checked to make sure was included in this tread was "Supplying War". There are many standard texts on conflict, but that one somehow misses many lists. I think the examination of conflicts from the point of view of logist

I am not a lawyer, but I believe this doctrine has essentially not been enforced in recent memory. The subsequent paragraph to the one you quoted steadily showed it being rejected by those who attempted to bring it before the court in the

If you look at the board ( http://investor.circuitcity.com/directors.cfm ), there doesn't seem to be much direct retail or electronics experience. Most of the individuals seem to come from finance or service industry backgrounds. Perhap

I gotcha. "When it gets down to it -- talking trade balances here -- once we've brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selli

The photography is so-so, but there is usually always one picture of a dish. Technique, historically, was demonstrated in illustrations but they have moved to video in recent years. Visual depiction is not their strong suit. Their strengt

Is there a better technical description of WebOS around somewhere? It describes the OS is "windows based" on that link. I am curious if it will run regular Windows Mobile applications. Essentially, is WebOS a UI/usability layer on top of
