China would have a pretty good claim on the global fireworks and munitions industries over the past thousand years since gunpowder was "invented" there
Just like the Chinese silk industry, the Chinese "fireworks and munitions industries" chose the route of trade secrets, instead of patents. They took on that risk because they didn't want to share and only be granted a temporary monopoly. Where did this short-term business decision land these industries...1000 years in the past.
In Venezuela women are perceived as better in math and sciences.
Being perceived as an intelligent male in a populist country often carries a shorter life expectancy.
is unusable because it's filled with Mark's stuff, regardless of how great a guy he is, or how much mentoring he does.
It still sounds like you are jumping to conclusions; what if he pays a monthly fee for that much space? They have a membership level that provides you with your very own workbench. They also have membership levels that provide you with shared workspaces and lockers (this was before they moved to their larger location; I'm assuming it is the same). If you still think that is unfair then it does not matter, anyways--you are obviously not a Texan (yes, I am fully aware I just made a logical fallacy--it was a joke).
The UK has never had a tradition of putting technically minded people into parliament.
This reminds me of one of our congressmen who thought that overpopulating an island would make it tip over.
As for the bluetooth problems here, I have no idea why people have so much trouble
One problem for me is that most bluetooth devices assume that you only ever pair with one other device. I swear sometimes that bluetooth acts like a jealous ex-girlfriend (e.g. interferes with other connections, refuses to talk, hooks up with past devices, etc)
and it's still not extremely common that their videos are available in high definition.
I find this to be exactly opposite, now. Maybe not for the Top 10 Boobs in Video Games videos or anything relatively old, but I find that every single regularly uploading Youtube Channel now offers at the very least 720p.
I think that mobile devices help them to gain that #1 spot (I would imagine more people watch 4 minute videos on their phones than full length movies and shows). Also think about videos that have gone viral that everybody has to see. Also think about the number of sites that embed Youtube videos into their own content. Think about all of the companies now using Youtube as the CDN of their own marketing materials. Also do not forget the reports of ISPs blocking other providers from doing the same thing as google; possibly because it competes with their OnDemand offerings (Comcast and Netflix).
