I don't believe it. Next you'll be telling me that smoking a cigarette doesn't actually calm me down, it just reverses the effects of nicotine withdraw!
Just go crazy. Sip your coffee through your still smoldering cigarette. Put some vodka in your coffee for the best effect of all 3 worlds.
For some weird reason, I have never met someone outside of the US that even had the slightest conception of "caffeine withdrawal". All the usually described effects - headaches, sleepiness - on caffeine withdrawal, just don't seem to happen for people outside of the US. Now that would be a topic for some serious psych dissertation...
That would be a lame topic. It's either you've never been outside of the U.S., or the people you've met never stopped consuming caffeine products, or never consumed enough to form a dependence. Withdrawal doesn't happen until you stop consuming it. Serious psych dissertation...you just need to get your head checked. =D
As a former caffeine addict, I would *love* to see some serious studies come out describing the long term consequences to long term caffeine use. Of course, we'll never see that because there's more money behind caffeine than alcohol and tobacco, combined.
That argument wouldn't be so offensive if Apple didn't have a monopoly on portable mp3 music players. Or a monopoly on sales to their monopoly.
It's not like you can simply take your program to another app store to offer your product to the millions of iPhone/iPod touch users. It's not simply Apple's store. It's that Apple is the only gateway to these millions of customers.
When you invest time and money into an application to reach those customers, being rejected because of unwritten, or even unestablished rules, is a serious issue.
The problem isn't subjectivity amongst the reviewers, but rather that the rules are a secret.
Maybe the problem isn't that the rules are a secret, but rather that there are no rules...and judgments are made up on the fly to deal with what they perceive as threats to either the market share or their intention of how the iphone is intended to be operated.
The fact that there are people who think we should teach ID in schools is what made me realize there's no god.
I'm assuming that that's what you meant. Regardless of the choice or ID or not, it's the fervent debate from parents of both sides that bring about this realization: Parents expect schools to teach their children everything, so parents won't have to teach them anything.
I'm thinking a bully beating you so hard that he breaks your bones is probably going to be quite emotionally scarring.
Whoever said that you had to fight fair? I was made to carry enough crap in my backpack in school that it was a pretty effective ball and chain. I didn't go around picking fights, but I sure wasn't going to get beat up. It wasn't long before the bullies went elsewhere.
Wovel couldn't even get that right! It's like, in your head, you know you're right. And then you find out you were just dead wrong. Such is the life of an apple fanboi.
OSX is the most open platform any commercial software companies are writing consumer applications for.
Choosing to do a free release of an old game on alternate platform as an experiment is not quite the same thing
How about a new release of new software on an alternate platform AND providing support with it. From Microsoft no less. Too free for you? How about Sybase? They sell linux versions of thier database management software for linux on PPC and x86 platforms.
How about VMware? They sell virtualization solutions for...you guessed it, linux! Oh, and that brings us to another of your "points":
OSX is the most open platform that runs Microsoft Windows.
WRONG. Either you're running windows in a virtual app, or you're not running OSX. OSX itself does not run windows.

Debt-related suicide in Taiwan has been going up for some time and it's likely to just become worse.
Just to clarify, are you talking about debt in terms of owed money, or are you talking about the debt owed to the common good for bringing more apple products into the world?
The algorithm can then identify sarcastic sentences that are nothing like the examples.
Place it in my office. If it still responds at the end of the week, it's not working correctly. If it's overloaded and partially melted, we've got a winner.

So will this be the next weight loss method? If I am powering electronics it must come from burning calories correct?
This is the anti-social transistor. It's powered by burning bridges.

I'd rather see them pump the sticky rice down an oil well to find out if it works better than duct tape.
Maybe that's who BP needs to hire?

A Symantec blog post reports that the company recently stumbled upon a server hosting the stolen credentials for 44 million game accounts.
Symantec has reportedly bought up all the beer in the area and is planning raids into the deep mines.
Just as long as my computer can't get the clap, I'm ok.

2000 was amazing, but couldn't run games.
It *could* run games, but every time you went to update something, you ran the risk of the update hosing the whole system. Fun times!
