I didn't like Ribbon first either, but after getting used to it I like it much more than the previous Office UI's. It does take some adjustment if you've used the old ones, but that's true for every kind of change. And people don't like changes, but the truth is, Ribbon is much better interface.
Ahh, the ole "you just don't like change" argument. It's an immediate win button isn't it?
I've been using it since it came out....and I still don't like it.
The bombing people part involves paying big corporations for the bombs (and the vehicles used to deliver them) with lots of tax payer money anyway, so that's sort of a bail out too.
I don't think there's an accepted definition to where the edge of the solar system is. I've seen articles with this exact same headline published every few years for the past 15 years.
Who are these people you're talking about? I didn't vote for my CEO. Seems to me, it's the people who put the CEO in charge that keeping making the same "mistake".
Or maybe the big companies are interested in avoiding the bad publicity involved with developing a new field, so they fund the small companies that take the heat, and then take over after the dirty work is done.
That's halfway insightful. The instinct to breed is way stronger than anything you can accomplish with education though. If not for abortion and birth control, we'd have out of control population growth.
They put up with it because they have to if they want to fly anywhere. Period. But it's not inconvenient enough for them to actually do more than do a little complaining. Therefore...nothing will change.
I don't think most people have an issue with taking down child porn sites. It's the way that the issue is pursued, or the definitions of child porn that tend to cross the lines of all rationality. Putting someone on a list meant to shame pedophiles because he urinated in public, or forwarded a picture of his 15 yo girlfriend when he himself was a teenager is not rational. It's just fucking stupid and people can't seem to understand this.
Seconded! Seriously, how many fucking intelligence and law enforcement agencies does the federal government need? SS, NSA, ATF, CIA, FBI, DHS, etc. I'm sure there are probably dozens more as well.
But a space mission staffed by people recruited in the parking lot of a dead show? The explanation for that group is simply nonsensical.
He has a tendency to write liberal characters, but I was unaware of any explanation offered or even acknowledgement of that fact in the books.
I can suspend disbelief regarding time travel, warp drive...... Technology unworkable or trivial.
Technology that was unworkable....like say...oh.... time travel and warp drive? And what tech do thing was trivial? I dunno. You seem to by trying too hard to find flaws because you don't like the authors politics.
Some policemen enforce the law. And others enforce the law and get a kick out of it. The ones who get a kick out of it are very annoying. I once had a state trooper approach me (as if I was a hardened criminal) at a country convenience store and try to publicly humiliate me for illegal parking. The guy was about 3 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier than me and he laid the physical intimidation and invasion of personal space crap on me really thick. Okay...I'm a lanky underweight computer nerd with mannerisms like a bunny rabbit. Give me a break. Totally unnecessary.
The post apocalypse genre falls firmly in with science fiction. And the metaphysical aspects sort of fit in with fantasy (which is not High Fantasy, btw).
You didn't like the Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars books? What's wrong with those? I consider them good hard science fiction. It's not everybody's cup of tea, but it's certainly not unworthy of such high praise.
I think the point is, you don't get into positions of great power like that without stepping on a lot of people and totally throwing out your innate sense of right and wrong...which you probably didn't have in the first place. That goes for both Bush and Gore.

No, the crafting/resource system was the best thing. And they didn't import that either.

Turn on a TV. 60fps baby. Enjoy.

. I had a "graphite" tattoo where the lead entered me- faded over a few years- but it remained for a while.
I still have mine... from 1985.
Seriously.
Nothing else seems to work.

Is anyone else besides me annoyed that Fukushima keeps on overshadowing this incredibly catastrophic tsunami?
that is uses human motion properties and no electrical power to stay in motion.
Oh? What happens if you take away the power to the treadmill?

And then you'll blame the hardware when something's too slow
Or the guy who quit last week.
DEA has to be pretty high on Paul's list too.

Why does that puzzle you? It's just a work of fiction. Not a manifesto.
