They might add another vertical layer on top also ….
   It looks like fixed cost in this institute is really a fixed cost … It does not vary with capacity”

I would even circle the right answers to help you – even then u wont be able to arrive at them …. I can even give you the paper on monday and take it back on next monday.

Busy day for a monkey who saves her cub from being hit by a moped...and then again from becoming a dog's dinner

Even on the dusty and dangerous streets of New Delhi, the bond between a mother monkey and her young is almost unbreakable.

This tiny youngster was struck by a moped while scampering across the road in India's capital, where the animals are a common sight scavenging for food.

Lurking nearby was a wild dog who sensed an easy kill. But just when the baby's fate seem sealed, its mother leapt to the rescue.

Dedicated mother: Monkey cub was first run over by a moped before being attacked by a dog

The mother stepped in to attack the moped driver before gunning for the hungry dog too

In an act of ferocious devotion she grappled with the dog, biting it on its back to drive it away before picking up her little one.

In the animal kingdom the bond between a mother and her young is unbreakable.

And as this young Indian monkey discovered that natural instinct is always evident, even away from their natural surroundings.

The small golden haired monkey was left momentarily dazed after being struck by a moped rider while scampering across the road.

Monkey see monkey do: The mother attacking the dog after it has started on her cub

Lurking nearby was a wild dog who, sensing an easy kill, moved in to try and snatch his prey as he lay stunned on the ground.

But just when the young monkey’s fate seem sealed its mother leapt to the rescue.

Using her powerful arms she jumped on to the back of the street predator in a desperate act of protection.

Amazed onlookers in the streets of New Delhi, India, watched as the monkey and the dog tussled together.

Mother scares the dog off and tends to her cub who cowers beneath her in fear after the ordeal

Eventually the dog realised he was not going to win and wandered away leaving the injured baby monkey to cling to its mother.

The scenes were captured by a photographer who happened to be passing at the time of the incident and posted the pictures to an internet photo site.

The species of primate, known as the Common Indian monkey, are a common sight in the streets of New Delhi where they scavenge for food.

Like other animals forced into an urban environment they run the risk of being hit in the traffic choked streets.

McAfee bought by Intel .. some fun posts on slashdot

Given that McAfee "Oopsie" actually shutdown Intel operations for a day, maybe they do want to take it out back, and put it out of its misery?

==
McAfee is finally in the hands of someone qualified to figure out how to completely uninstall it.

==
They intend on replacing the software with a looping .gif that pretends to scan your computer when you click on the icon in the systray. Thus they will continue to provide the same core functionality* at a fraction of the processor capability

*core functionality may consist of, and won't exceed convincing idiots that their computer is secure
==
Intel plans to release a final update to all Mcafee users that will force uninstall the software from their machines, increasing the performance of Intel systems by 300%.
==
Or, they plan to make it even slower, and encourage users to upgrade their processors!
==
A list of better things you could do with $7b:

1. Fill a swimming pool with $100 bills and go nuts.

2. Buy several sky scrappers and blow em up, just for shits and giggles.

3. Buy Kaspersky. (Kaspersky is one of the best anti-virus softwares in the market today)

4. Nothing. Absoluetly nothing. Ever again.

Any other suggestions?

How some expressions were derived

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either
>sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him
>standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed
>both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how
>many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted.
>Arms and legs are "limbs," therefore painting them would cost the buyer
>more.
>Hence the expression, "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg."
>
>**************************************************************
>As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year (May
>and October)! Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads
>(because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good
>wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs, so to clean them they
>would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for
>30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term "big
>wig."
>Today we often use the term "here comes the Big Wig" because someone
>appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.
>
>**************************************************************
>In the late 1700s, many houses consisted of a large room with only one
>chair. Commonly, a long wide board folded down from the wall, and was used
>for dining. The "head of the household" always sat in the chair while
>everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Occasionally a guest, who was
>usually a man, would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal. To sit
>in the chair meant you were important and in charge. They called the one
>sitting in the chair the "chair man."
>Today in business, we use the expression or title "Chairman" or "Chairman
>of the Board."
>
>**************************************************************
>Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many women
>and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's
>wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were
>speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face
>she was told, "mind your own bee's wax." Should the woman smile, the wax
>would crack, hence the term "crack a smile." In addition, when they sat too
>close to the fire, the wax would melt therefore, the expression "losing
>face."
>
>**************************************************************
>Ladies wore corsets, which would lace up in the front. A proper and
>dignified woman . as in "straight laced" wore a tightly tied lace.
>
>**************************************************************
>Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax
>levied when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to the "Ace of
>Spades." To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards instead.
>Yet, since most games require 52 cards, these people were thought to be
>stupid or dumb because they weren't "playing with a full deck."
>
>**************************************************************
>Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what the
>people considered important. Since there were no telephones, TV's or
>radios, the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and
>bars. They were told to "go sip some ale" and listen to people's
>conversations and political concerns. Many assistants were dispatched at
>different times. "You go sip here" and "You go sip there." The two words
>"go sip" were eventually combined when referring to the local opinion and,
>thus we have the term "gossip."
>
>**************************************************************
>At local taverns, pubs, and bars, people drank from pint and quart-sized
>containers. A bar maid's job was to keep an eye on the customers and keep
>the drinks coming. She had to pay close attention and remember who was
>drinking in "pints" and who was drinking in "quarts," hence the term
>"minding your "P's and Q's."
>
>**************************************************************
>One more: bet you didn't know this! In the heyday of sailing ships, all war
>ships and many freighters carried iron cannons. Those cannons fired round
>iron cannon balls. It was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon.
>However, how to prevent them from rolling about the deck? The best storage
>method devised was a square-based pyramid with one ball on top, resting on
>four resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. Thus, a supply of 30 cannon
>balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon. There was
>only one problem...how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding or rolling
>from under the others. The solution was a metal plate called a "Monkey"
>with 16 round indentations. However, if this plate were made of iron, the
>iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem
>was to make "Brass Monkeys." Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts
>much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently, when the
>temperature dropped too far, the brass indentations would shrink so much
>that the iron cannonballs would come right off the monkey. Thus, it was
>quite literally, "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey."
>
>(All this time, you thought that was an improper expression, didn't you.)
