Most of the scheduled vaccines end around 5 years old other than those you take to go into certain parts of the world. There's a booster every so often but those are infrequent. Most kids just cry for a bit and get a sore arm, a statis

Ultimately unvaccinated people put the whole community at risk by reducing herd immunity. For pertussis the threshold is over 90% for prevention assuming that 100% of the population is immunized. If 10% are not immunized then your already b

You get tethering when you switch to the mobile share plan. If you are grandfathered into the unlimited plan then you don't get tethering.

Flew out and into SJC yesterday on SW and all day wifi was $8 (covered both trips). With roundtrip fair costing anywhere from $200-$300, I'd rather pay for wifi than send some texts to iOS only users for $2. Sounds kind of lame.

Sunspider is not an IPC type benchmark, you have to run the same app on both processors. I would assume the browser has changed substantially since the last update. Perhaps they have improved the JIT as well.

The documentation mentions that prefix searches will be much faster than other searches. Most likely reason is that the index is mapped with some sort of prefix tree, perhaps a case-sensitive prefix tree.

Building over a full text search engine that indexes your db is going to scale much better in the long run. Plus you get stemming and other niceties to boot as long as consistency is not of the highest priority.

That's an absurd report considering that NBA/NHL arenas hold about 18-20k people max while most MLS games are played in Football stadiums that can hold 65k+. The fact that MLS still barely wins in attendance per game is pretty sad.

Only if purchased > 1 year from registration (or first use in California). If purchased within the last year you pay the tax difference between the states. You can work it out in the online calculator.

The more contention and ambiguity (in the patent system), the more work there is for attorneys. It would be in their best interest to keep the status quo.

Doesn't seem too difficult to get a 'free' license and pay the occupancy tax. I've stayed in various beach rentals along the California coast for 2 weeks at a time and have been charged occupancy tax. http://www.co.monterey.ca.us/taxcollec

HBO currently gets around $8 per subscriber, typically you are paying double that to the cable company so unless the overhead is 100% I doubt they would need to charge more than $15 per subscriber. The real problem is distribution and makin

Edit: I think the assumption is that an object itself is relocatable inside a container like vector if it marks itself as such. The document itself doesn't actually explain the inner workings.
