I live in New England, but my roof is slanted enough that the snow does not stay on it yet I spend far more on heating my house than I do on cooling it. Plus there are plenty of places where much of the year they are heating and yet there is very little snow. Maybe this problem is more complicated than we are making it out to be by applying what we are familiar with in our own houses and climates.
I hate to break this to you, but if you do own your house, you will end up putting a new roof on it sooner or later. My guess, given your tone, is that it will be sooner than you think it will.
Now would be a good time to bring this up with your home owners association so you can make the best choice when that time finally comes.
Anti-psychotics are a class of drug that get used to treat several different problems
Some anti-psychotics are used to supplement anti-depressants. The ones that are are not generic at this time. As a result, a prescription for a few mg of something like abilify, which helps to boost the effectiveness of prozac and other anti-depressants can cost well over a thousand dollars a month. At that kind of price, its easy to understand how so much money can be spent on these even when they are not being prescribed to people who are psychotic.
You cant go by cost, that results in the newest meds being the biggest because they are sold at such an unbelievable price. Number of prescriptions might be more interesting, but still misleading for off label and even alternative on label uses.
The reason this is relevant is that it showed that they may have knowingly violated the patents. If the patent is found to be valid and they are found to be infringing it is far worse for Google if it can be shown that they did it knowingly instead of simply by accident.
An extra step every time you post something you want to share with a larger group is easier than a single one time step to set up the group you want to use?
I guess if the app broke but users could still access the web site (specifically on their iPads), that is really not so terrible. Some kind of refund might be appropriate but this reaction seems a bit over the top.
I guess its just that once you get used to something better, taking a step back to a lesser interface is pretty difficult.
Didn't they block the Safari on iPad from accessing their website, instead telling users they had to download the app and pay a subscription?
I have no problem with the idea of subscription news (though I'm not sure I would pay it) but once you start offering it you had damn well better make sure your updates don't break it. I'm sure they would have received even more grief if they just stopped delivering the physical version to paying customers.
I just wish they could do something about the ones over/under highways here in New England. I live very close to one and the people coming off the highway don't seem to have any idea that they don't have the right of way despite many signs. They blow into rotaries like crazy. The smaller ones on regular roads seem to work pretty well though.
All mac's come with install media which can bring the machine up from a bare drive, unless this changes when machines start shipping with lion you would use that and then install any OS upgrades from your recovery DVDs or download them from the apple store.
Id be surprised if your recovery DVDs weren't bootable themselves, but I cannot confirm this as I haven't tested Lion at all yet.
Actually most of Apples lawsuits are over look and feel, trade dress and trademarks. They spend their time protecting their brand, which is their most valuable asset. I'm sure you can find examples of they suing over patents, but if you exclude defensive suits where they are responding to someone else's patent suit (like nokia for instance) then there really aren't that many examples left. If you compared them to other companies you might be surprised.
This is shocking. I had no idea that advertisers were that upset with Facebook. I thought the bent over backwards to provide advertisers with everything they could possibly want. It could be a big problem for them.
Of course, this is based on the assumption that he actually used the source from Fruit, which is pretty hard to actually verify when his source code is not available.
That's just it, Wave wasn't really about social networking, it was about social collaboration. Now I'm not honestly sure if it was good for that, because nobody ever used it but what it comes down to is, people do the social networking thing but aren't generally that interested in collaborating to create anything.

Except that Army of Darkness was the last movie.
"Lady I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store."
Brilliant!
Still, I'll watch anything with Bruce in it at least once. I even watched Moon Trap.

valid for fairly small values of "a lot."

Waxed, but close enough
Never mind that you would have to use visual studio to compile it and we all know that secretly inserts backdoors in all software made with it.
Whats worse... fit and finish on Dells is pretty lousy.
Gotcha.

That will be 20 bucks a month. There is an app you can download.
Never mind the unbelievable amount they apparently spent developing the paywall.

Apple is suing samsung because they lifted the UI design for the iPhone and put it on their phone.
you know that is exactly what people your fathers age said about their parents generation.

The expert panel is comprised of his competition. They are the very people he wants to keep from seeing his code.
The only way this could be done is with an impartial third party audit... but who pays for it?

He can't be mad at Google, he is a die hard Google fan, he has to lash out at whatever he perceives to be the threat to his favorite company.
