Off topic, but I notice that you spell Amerika the way that it was spelled in an ABC miniseries in 1987 about a United States that had lost a war with Soviet Russia. Is that intentional? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerika_(miniseries)

When I was young, NBC and CBS were viewed as the major leagues and ABC was seen as a wannabee. Many view Nikon and Canon as major leagues, Sony has been really working to change the public's perception of their position in this industry. This looks …

I doubt that you would disagree with these points. As I said, as far as I know they are not controversial. But if you want to make assumptions before considering the material that is your prerogative.

Brick and Mortar and now trucks? Why is Amazon focusing on local markets? They are unlikely to become the next Wal-mart in less than 20 years, why work on a strategy that won't increase their market share until their competition has had time to …

I was not agreeing with those who made those comments. I was repeating the perception (right or wrong) of those who were interviewed. A company's brand is based on the prevalent opinion of its prospective buying public regardless of whether that …

This reminds me of the time period in which I ran a consultancy for small businesses who wanted to develop a presence and an audience on the internet. There were many wrong ideas which small business owners had, especially those who had not been …

If you are interested, I could give non-controversial examples of how ignorance of three categories of information have caused misunderstandings of three Bible passages. None of these examples require a belief in God or in miracles nor are they as …

What you are talking about (multi dimensional interests) is also true in the learning process. A recent book speaks about the problem that exists when an educational strategy focuses only on literacy and math. Those who are previously familiar …

According to Chris, there are some conversations which are not included in the "all" category. https://www.cake.co/conversations/hCR9Pfb/cake-conversation-isolated/mCH9lZg

If you ever get a printer, don't get an inkjet. I replaced my inkjet in 2008. I have only had to change my toner cartridge on my laser printer once. Inkjet cartridges are overpriced, contain only a small amount of ink, and will stop working if you …

@MountainMom In case you had not seen a previous article on this topic. > Permafrost at outposts in the Canadian Arctic is thawing 70 years earlier than predicted, an expedition has discovered, in the latest sign that the global climate crisis …

> The plunge in the average annual extent means Antarctica lost as much sea ice in four years as the Arctic lost in 34 years. The cause of the sharp Antarctic losses is as yet unknown and only time will tell whether the ice recovers or continues …

In my browser, the first seven lines of text are difficult to read due to an overlap with the graphic at the head of the article https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/08/the-wannacry-sinkhole/

@Chris, Saw this today: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/08/huawei-staff-and-chinese-military-have-deep-links-study-claims.html

Yes, binary data is just data but the acquisition of that data begins to take place in the analog world prior to the impact of the light on the sensor. Where the photographer aims the camera, how long the shutter stays open, what the f stop setting …

https://www.cake.co/conversations/9DypzwN/recovering-desert-colors It is often possible to improve the human eye's perception of an image, but there is no real substitute for the quality of the original source material.

In a free society, those who believe that nothing except the physical realm existx and those who believe that something exists outside of the physical realm can exist side by side. As I wrote in a prior posting I did not post the original post as …

In recent usage "drop" has become a contronym. Historically "drop" has been used to indicate cessation. For example dropping a case or an argument. But in recent times "drop" has been used to refer to issuing something such as dropping a song.

Apocryphal, My "reminder" was not directed towards skeptics or critics. My "reminder" was directed towards those people who think that they are being helpful when they imagine "explanations" for those events which the Bible alleges (and which I …

This is intended as humor. It should not be taken seriously.

This reminds me of the joke about the rancher who had seven head of cattle then there was a round up so he had ten. You may hear that the temperature reached 90 degrees at Anchorage on July 4th. Well, that's because they had a round …
