I bet she was making a break for the beer store... She left the house to get beer, then started drowning, then got saved, then ran back into the water supposedly for the moped (according to her mom, who wasn't there). My money was that she was running after the booze.
It would take me N times that long to DL and run any of the bigger Windows updates. On a new machine that was imaged with a base rev of the OS, there are several of those, interspersed with dozens if not hundreds of smaller ones.
You are doing it wrong... Start the update, watch TV, reboot, update, tv, reboot, done. It takes like 5 minutes of actual clicking. You'll spend more time tweaking your browser.
I don't think anyone would want that flying over their house, but think UAV for airborne freight. I don't know if you would be able to convince people that they should fly on it themselves, but for cargo it seems like a pretty good idea. Aircraft mostly fly themselves anyways...
1) 250,000 test tubes could easily fit into a 10m X 10m room (square root of 250,000 is 500). If the tubes have a diameter of 1.5 cm, then you are looking at a 7.5m x 7.5 meter room. 2) We effectively do this with vaccanations. 3) If the wrong test tube is open, I'd bet you would spend trillions trying to put the cat back in the bag. 4) Your car analogy sucks. If you want to show stats like that, you don't need any assumptions. 115 people per day die in car related fatalities every day in the USofA. There are 305 million people in the USA, so your daily chance of dying in a car is 1 in 2.65 million. A long way from your 1/146,000 stat.
Whoah there... Tobogganing at a skiing facility? I have never seen this. Are there actually places that you can ski/toboggan on the same hill? Can you take the toboggan up the lift? Ever since I was little, I have liked toboganning, but hate walking up steep hills in the winter... This could change everything.
About the brown/black snow... Yes, snow that has been removed from streets is gross and should be left alone, but once you leave the sides of the road, even by 5 feet, the snow is nice and white again. Personally, I love snow. I have a good foot covering my backyard, and that is much better than brown grass and dead (hibernating) plants. Plus when it melts the snow slowly seeps into the grass/gardens and adds a ton of water to the soil.
Well, you could impress a client if you were a security contractor. For $35, that's a bargain! You could also screw with your neighbor... if they so deserve it.
1) "This channel/show is no longer profitable, cancel it"
2) "We are not getting as much per slot as we expect, so lets just make more slots. Just double the commercial breaks and cut the length of the commercial breaks by one third."
3) "let's increase cable rates. Er, more than we originally planned"
I'm not saying what they did was wrong, just that morale suffered. I know it needed to be done. My company was actually quite responsible with everything.
Then the recession happened. They cut extra spending, so no more free lunches. No more employee outings. Morale went down. Next came raises. Oooh, we can't afford to give you a cost of living increase. The people accepted it, but morale went down. After the lunches and the raises were gone, we were told to that about 1/8 of the people in the building would be laid off. Morale went down. Then the layoffs happened. Morale went down. Then after they laid people off, they told us that there may be more layoffs coming. Morale went down. Then they told us that we would be micro-managed. Morale went down.
My employer is still better than most, and things around here are still gloomy...
The US was really Attacking Burger King. The "Terrorists" were actually Burger King workers. America has a grudge because Buger King stopped selling the Angery Whopper. Those Bastards!
I played this mission. All the hype was saying you have to kill dozens of civiilans, but in truth, you didn't have to kill any. You were just along for the ride. If you chose to kill some, that was up to you, but it was not required. I am sick about all the misinformaiton about this game.
The only interesting use case they presented was if you are concerned about health issues of keeping phones near your head.
I overheard a conversation on Monday of this week. Some guy (who I would concider rather intelligent) was talking about cell phone waves. He was saying that (wet) grass would reflect cell phone transmissions. He then made the leap that if you were to make a call from a grassy field, you were essentially being bombarded by cell phone waves because "each blade of grass is like a tiny antenna". The amount of misinformation about cell phones is extremely misleading. It makes me mad...
Sure, they can refuse to sell me the product if I walk into a store, however, what if I but a legal copy from eBay? Can they prevent me from using that copy? It's not about refusing service.
2) Someone buying a copy of OS X for their PC is not an Apple customer as far as Apple is concerned, just like if you go to the grocery store and buy a gallon of milk, and steal a loaf of bread, they still have their rights. Buying one thing doesn't let you steal something else, regardless of what you think in your twisted little mind.
I'm pretty sure that someone buying OS X is the definition of 'customer'. I realize that this is not what Apple wants though. Let's say you go to the hardware store; you are looking for a shed. You make your selection, but there is a notice posted that the materials provided to make this shed, can only be made into a shed. This wood is not to be used for any other purposes (Including burning, or making a fence). Obviously, that would never happen. If someone tried to take the shed kit to make a fence, there would probably be a few problems along the way, likewise with an OS X install on non-supported hardware. If that's the case, buy something that supports your hardware (a fence kit), but don't cry when you find out that a shed kit makes a shitty fence.
3) If Apples' license isn't valid, neither is GPL, and I can take any GPL app and distribute binaries with proprietary code without any source. - You don't get to pick and choose when copyright is valid. Its either valid for everyone or it isn't. You don't get special rules.
I'm not all knowledgeable about GPL, but as I see it, GPL's rules are for the intention of generating more code. "Take this, do something different with it, let us see it." It can be viewed as a noble intention. Apple is trying to prevent this for other reasons (not known to me).
In my opinion, OS X is not a service. It is a product, just like MS Windows. Once you pay the piper, you get to choose the song. If Apple was charging $x/month for 'computing services' where they would provide the hardware, keep it modern, properly patched and virus free, while guaranteeing it, that would be a different story.
Could you imagine what would happen if you told all the business people that they had to either put thier (soon to be broken) laptop in checked luggage or couldn't board the plane.
It's one thing to get felt up by security, but you will never pry a laptop or blackberry from a business person unless thier hands are cold and dead.
I disagree. I find watching E-Daily, or Entertainment Tonight, or any other celebrity show physically nauseating. It's literally an assault on my brain.

I thought it was a play on words: Radioactive = Radio(s) Active.

Seriously? Well, on the moon, without any atmosphere, you could use a scale. Otherwise you could use the Idea Gas Law
Really? I can't remember the last time I blue screened. Maybe you should check your ram or update your video driver.
Think again. I propose:
1) "This channel/show is no longer profitable, cancel it"
2) "We are not getting as much per slot as we expect, so lets just make more slots. Just double the commercial breaks and cut the length of the commercial breaks by one third."
3) "let's increase cable rates. Er, more than we originally planned"

I used to be very logal to my employer.

Well, the next step up from 'dozens' would be 'hundreds' ,which I would not consider accurate. I stand by my choice of wording.

I wasn't aware that images on your TV inside your private residence was considered 'public' in Germany.

Fuck! The price of stamps is going up?!?!
Two bucks? That's not that bad... Telus (in Canada) charges an outrageous $8/MB.
When you use GPL code, your payment is the source code. When you buy OS X it's good 'ol fashioned greenbacks.
