Bullshit. My "made in China" Sony headphone (V??600), beat up in so many ways for so many years yet still working fine, was way more durable than Sennheiser (HD280), which needed replacing after first week because the thin wire inside the cup was bent sharply (by design) and was not conducting properly.
I like Senn's fine, though - I do like its sound better than Sony's.
No kidding. I want whatever amount of federal grant money that go into this sorta "study" switch to digging ditch and filling it back in. Now that's an honest, pointless job creation program.
I had their service, and it was a superior offering to Netflix because you could swap out movies at their stores also. Their service was fine, and their online selection was decent. The tracking system was not perfect, but nothing that didn't get sorted out easily. But they keep changing their terms, first the price increase, second the limit on in-store exchanges. The slimy nickel-and-dime tactic put me off and I stopped the service.
Their large network of physical stores can give them an edge over Netflix, but they make me wonder if they actually want to stay in the business.
Despite the bewildering complexity and variety of Chinese characters, there are actually a very limited set of ways to pronounce them. This results in tons and tons of words sounding exactly the same, and the only way to know them apart is by context.
It's a "tonal" language - different words sound the same except for the "tones".
Pack the rubbish in the garbage dumps to allow air to flow through them. It will expedite, no, actually allow, biodegradation (sp?) by allowing the bacteria to live and do its work - biodegradable materials will actually mean something then.
I don't know who modded you insightful, but recording stuff in computer devices vs. your long-term memory, is like, I apologize for the analogy, data in main memory vs. data backed up in tape stored in the next room.
What good is all the brilliant algorithms when you must spend so much time, relatively speaking, retrieving the data? Life requires brains with real-time performance.
Your conception of math is rather different than mathematicians I've encountered. Physics is a physical science, but math is another thing altogether - it need not relate to this universe at all.
Hm... you have a feminine-sounding handle, but I sense awful high level of testosterone...;-)
The Permanent Fund was set up long ago, but the rebate bill imposed so-called windfall tax on oil industry and distributes the money as extra dividend from the Fund.
What many object to was the "spread the wealth around" statement, because they see it as tantamount to simple "here's your check" redistributionism. It's one thing to run a jobs program where those in it are actually contributing something to society--building infrastructure, cleaning things up, etc.--but quite another to give out money simply for drawing breath. And whether or not that's what Obama's plans truly are, it's what many fear.
Obama denies he'll do so, but who knows. But you know Palin HAS done it for Alaskans. But I doubt such facts will make a difference with you.

Whoever modded me troll, maybe I was being "quirky". Did you ever think of that? Bloody illiterate.
The dude's an ass, like Taco pulling this troll, not "quirky" - look up the bloody dictionary sometime.

You won't have that problem for long. The kids graduating this year will be thankful they have a job at all.
I remember seniors in '92 shitting brick about looking for job, and I'd think this year is way, way worse.

A rat that rats on pigs.
Hey, that sorting using DBMS temp table sounds like a novel solution when external sorting is called for.
If you run your own shop, you'd already have some hints as to why things are the way they are. If you're salaried, ask your boss.
This coffee tastes funny.

Gotta love American politics.
This means Palin won't get the Senate seat (Senate would have kicked Stevens out if he won) as a staging post for her national ambition.
"...a new CEO who can take the company to the next level"
So they're not even trying...

Not to mention the risk of non-explosion...
Once again, eggheads and their muddled brains. Ask yourself: Is that a good thing?
Did any of you see the TV ad featuring Olympic athletes? Good idea, but something went wrong. Kobe never looked so stupid.
Ah, the dedication of /. reader, creating a new handle just to make a point.

Or is this whole election thingy is a giant subsidy to corn farmers and bailout for Orville Redenbacher...?

Of course we would. She's hot. Biden's not. Unless you're into that sorta thing. Not that there's anything wrong it...
Hm... it's not getting through. Maybe I'll try OpenBSD dev style, then:
4.4, as in 4.4BSD, you fucking morons!
Ok, did that work?
