Well, that is one way to look at it, but I think not the only way.
No marketing campaign is going to connect with 100% of the population. So, you have different campaigns to target different demographics. I would assume Dell would also realize that not all women (or men, for that matter), are the same. Perhaps the target audience of this campaign isn't all women, but rather women that are interested in cooking and fashion, are fitness minded, etc.
They seem to really be trying to sell ways in which Dell computers can fit into and benefit that type of lifestyle.
Well, sure we learned it in school. We didn't go too in depth in ethics because our professional societies have in depth ethics exams that one must pass before becoming a professional engineer. This exam is administered by the professional society and not by the universities.
Well, as somebody with an engineering degree, I know that we were taught that we were responsible for designs produced using software products. So, for example, if one used structural design software to design a building, and that software gave erroneous results, you are to blame, and not the software.
Well, if you had read the summary, you would notice that it is binary and source compatible. I would assume that they would stay relatively close except in cases where glib is being uncooperative.
I would say it isn't just child support that he is talking about. Not all women like the pill, because of the side effects, and it sometimes causes dryness which makes things less enjoyable for them. The next best option in most cases is the condom.
With an injection for men, there is another option that men can bear.
Women's rights are generally favoured in these circumstances because pregnancy and labour generally have a far greater effect on a woman's body than on a man's, and babies are naturally wired to rely on the mother in terms of feeding, whereas men are usually not able to produce milk (understatement - though maybe that is next before enabling male pregnancy).
This basically makes it possible to have sex without a condom and not have to worry about pregnancy, and it being left to the woman to worry about contraception.
This isn't about devices, this is about an App Store. If I understand correctly, you can install whatever you want on MS devices, you just can't get everything from the app store. From Apple, you can't install anything on the device you purchase from them without their permission.
Never had any issue with rebates from TigerDirect actually. Sure, you have to follow the directions, but they are pretty clearly laid out and I have always gotten my money.
Overall, I'm happy with them. I've purchased a number of things from them, and no major complaints. Then again, I always shop in person and not online, as there are three stores within a forty-five minute drive of my house.
I did the update yesterday. Apart from the fact that downloading all of the packages was really slow (probably due to the fact that it was on release day), the upgrade went flawlessly. Only slightly more complicated than a regular installation of critical release updates. Very impressive, IMO. Not a single hiccup... just kept using my machine like normal.
One new feature that I haven't seen mentioned is the Janitor. I didn't try it, but it is supposed to clean up your machine to make it closer to a new machine. What this actually entails, I don't know, but I assume getting rid of cruft, obsolete packages, and maybe it allows you to restore some of your config files to the default state in case you were messing with them and you botched them up.
In my experience, it isn't even so much that the proprietary solution is better, but that if you are the one getting them to change, then it is your fault of something doesn't work right, because you are choosing something different for them. If MS Office breaks or doesn't work, it is MS's fault, but if OpenOffice is hard to use in some way, you are to blame because it was your idea. Getting people to think it is their idea or something they found is generally an easier route.
In some cases, I would agree. However this is an issue of a police force saving money, not just spending money differently. They could easily use local support agencies for their Linux and it would still help drive the economy.
I'd rather they save money and redistribute it as needed rather than going for the more expensive option for the sake of it.
The other problem with the car thing, is what cars are actually made in Canada? Each of the big 3 only make about 6 different vehicles in Canada, and none of them compare in luxury to an MB. Not only that, but the MB is apparently made from Canadian steel anyway, so...
How about children? It is legal (at least here, and I assume the US), to give your baby or child up for adoption. It is *not* legal to sell them. I would argue this is the way it *should* be.
Not from the U.S., but I suppose I would assume that the US Government would have some pull to get some of that stuff customized and to develop their own solution on top of Google's infrastructure.
Wasn't saying it was a service that *I* would opt for, but rather that it would be the route that many would go (thinking about it, they'd probably just buy the service from the ISP, who can see all their traffic anyhow), because let's face it - most people don't care what they have to do as long as they get their facebook or whatever it is.
Consider it a stimulus package designed to get people to spend money - I'm sure that some online service will take on the task of helping people setup their logs and maintaining their backups, all for one low price of $15 a month.
Just research the different routers available, devise instructions for people telling people how to setup their routers to enable remote admin so that the remote servers can login and capture the logs on a regular basis (if the router doesn't have push capability), and bob's your uncle.
No, I've heard lots about Global Warming. As you can see by the threading, I was replying to parent (comment 26915303) - now GGP - which stated 'Looking at the new graph it's still pretty obvious that the trend is "downwards", there was about 2 million square kilometers less ice in September 2007 than in September 2003.'
There is evidence to back up global warming. Of course there is. But saying that there is less ice in 2007 than there was in 2003 constitutes a downward trend is like saying climate has had a downward temperature trend here because we've had a colder winter this year here than in the last five years. It just isn't enough to constitute a 'trend'.
However you feel about this issue, I think it is a bit weak to try and claim a change over 4 years constitutes a 'trend' when it comes to global climate data.

The parent poster did ask the question:
Why did ODF not specify a spreadsheet formula language?
So, no, I don't think he is saying that.
Well, this seems to differ at least slightly from Greenlight in that Greenlight was a government effort, and this seems to be a coop type effort.

Seems like it increases the Apple tax (if it does exist), if you have to purchase a Windows license above and beyond.

That doesn't work though, since here in Canada we are metric but we use Letter size paper.
Hmmm... I have the opposite problem... for some reason paper size keeps defaulting to A4 and we don't have a sheet of it anywhere, only letter.
I think the key word that he used is you can't **make** others learn without them making the same mistake themselves.
Sure, an addict can tell their child drugs are bad. Will they really learn? Sometimes. Sometimes not.
Well, except the code released doesn't get more restricted. There are only changes on future code, which is different.

yeah... move on and call them handbooks or something...

Really? Very interesting. What is the model number? Where did you get it? Are you happy with the sound quality? Are you happy with it in general?
