Image of a pulse of light that is 2.5 billionths of a millionth of a second long 2.5 billionth of a millionth of a second? So... is that 2.5 femtoseconds, anyone want to check my math?
billionths of a billionth of a second I'm going out on a limb and saying a gazillionth second?
Are you trying to say the circle photographs they took aren't high res enough? I thought I could tell plenty about the virus. It's circular and its composed of mostly 1 color...
Did they fix the bug where Safari installs as an iTunes update? I'd say that that is a fairly severe bug right there. More importantly, did they fix the ipod software itself? Every update cripples me even further without fixing what the previous broke (80GB gen 5).
IPOD plays all songs
IPOD needs to be restarted after adding songs
IPOD cannot have more than ~30,000 songs in a genre
IPOD cannot have more than 30,000 songs in TOTAL (otherwise no songs display)
I'm afraid of the next update, where I can only have 1 song total on it.
Believe me, the support is sub-par to say the least. The online help is very confusing: screenshot 1screenshot 2 (notice the 1st pic with the red circles) and hardly addresses the topic, and their solution is ALWAYS "bring it in to apple store" as a cure all.
I am not a fanboy of anything particular, and I couldn't care about bashing Apple, I've just been very unhappy with this product as of lately.
Please... as bad as this sounds, but could we PLEASE stop making laws? Every week I feel like there's 1 more thing I can't do, and 1 more thing that I don't want to do but have to.
Could we please just stop making laws? I'm happy with my already limited lifestyle. I'm tired of having to keep up with the list of new obscure laws. We have no more need for lawmakers, everything that we needed for laws has been pretty well ironed out long ago, and any gray areas that have been solved through courts have been good enough.
Why is it that I can list more bad laws than good laws?
Most of these don't seem like effects of weightlessness. It seems more like a tightly controlled germ-free environment where one doesn't exercise. These same effects can be achieved in a small chamber WITH gravity as well. This is why they recommend a "regimen of exercise". It would be interesting if there was a control group on effects of no exercise w/o germs and (effects of weightlessness - exercise control group effects).
(OT but related; why is it legal for me to fuck my congressman's wife, but illegal for me to pay her for it?) I believe you may already know but, because if you pay for it: then pimps step in and abuse girls to do it. Same thought process of "thinkofthechildren", only difference is that it took a different route where no one pays the child regardless. Porn isn't illegal yet because no one is abusing the actors apparently. Seems like if you do 1 bad thing, then they outlaw anything near the subject eventually.
But on the other hand, things like factory labor in foreign countries/blood diamonds/etc, they won't outlaw those goods even though there are cases of much worse abuse when making them. Guess it all depends on who defines the word abuse and where the profits go?
only thing my computer is able to do is browse the web (slowly, I might add)
"Could" I snoop? Sure. "Would" I? Never. That's one of the reasons why I have this job. Aren't you technically "snooping" through the "tubes"?
Bad joking aside. I too think that snooping is pointless in IT. So far in the past few positions I've been in, I've had access to a lot of private information (SSN's for one thing). Do I ever feel a need to snoop through them and look at them? Not really, I guess I don't do it because I see no point, and even if I did I would probably fear the ramifications of the law because anything I do with it is illegal I'm sure.
Can you afford cable TV? I was once on cable TV until I realized I was paying $60 a month ($2 a day). Figuring I would have to watch a lot of TV everday (I only watched a couple shows), I realized I could just switch to netflix for far less, with movie quality and not tv show quality viewing.
So that's how I made the trade-off to netflix and am currently happy with it. I may stop putting 3 DVDs in 1 envelope to prevent them saving money on postage though if they do this, just to offset their gains. I don't know how bulk postage works, but I assume its based on ACTUAL letters sent?
I am using XP Pro SP 2, was upgrading from FF3 RC 1 (maybe 2) and had the browser open during install. It told me to close the browser before continuing install. Then wouldn't let me start firefox.exe until after I restarted the entire PC.
Apparently this can be a rare case, but modding down because other people all upgraded with different setups and did not get the issue is wrong. Seeing how there were was only one person who upgraded from RC and they were apparently on SP3, and quite possibly an admin account. Making a statement of personal experience shouldn't be down "moddable".
...if you like working 50-60 weeks standard (70-80 at crunch time), I'm pretty good at working 52 weeks standard. Sometimes I will take a week off though. Don't think its possible to get more than 52 in though...
Given the locations were: 6 cities, it guesses within 200km of the correct city? I think some extra info is missing. Otherwise anyone can guess that Tokyo is within 200km of Tokyo, and more than 200km than London.
Warning to windows users (yes, people can read/. and have windows). After you install, you cannot start the browser until AFTER you restart your computer.
I still never understood why some programs/apps would request a user to restart after installation, but it's even worse when the program isn't requesting but refuses to start UNTIL you reboot. All the Firefox betas/RCs never forced you restart after install until the final release? For shame...
Angry? Or how about the fact that the color red is more irritating to the eyes (try looking at a red screen all day, vs a blue one)? This was based on JUST Unreal Tournament? Where reflexes are the only thing you need? How about a game that involves a little more stealth? Where maps have the background of the teams color (and not just some brown/semi-close red color). Personally I prefer the blue team because it's easier to get lost in a blue background than a red one (assuming the map is correctly colored).
I think the map is the biggest problem in the end, among a few other minor things.
He has been on my friends list for over a month now (I've been randomly following his articles on and off). Your post appears friend as a friend (green + green) already as well. If it doesn't show that way for me for you as well, and it still doesn't in this post, try submitting a bug report. Unless you meant to hit replytothis on someone else's post.
Uhh? Thanks for the opinion, sports commentator Bishop, now for the traffic report?
Please point out what makes it arrogant, and back up your opinion with a little more than a statement if you're going to post. I actually agree with GP (to some extent) that educational professionals wanted to voice some opinion in the development that it was THEIR product in some way. You tend to back up a product at a company if you work on it in some way and make a contribution, it gives pride (otherwise you wouldn't touch it for a good reason and bash it). People are always proud of their work, even though they may have very negative feelings of who they work for.
No kidding, I am thankful that we have people like NYCL out there keeping track of these events and posting the news. Being a lawyer who stands up for morals are hard to come by traits found in a single person, and deserves plenty of respect and admiration.
So for all those who haven't, or forgotten to say it, THANK YOU NYCL.
I agree, how could they be so oblivious to color blind people? In fact, how could they be oblivious to BLIND people by making those lockers with combinations not written in braille and selling those? How could they be oblivious to AMPUTEES who can't use their hands to even move the locks? This can go on forever.
Just because someone isn't catering to every single minority, doesn't mean they do it on purpose to make you mad. Sometimes you can't account for every minority (like proven above), and sometimes its designed not to (maybe if no Asians have color blindness, then they don't want Anglo males to use their products?) For whatever reason, if they needed your business, then they would plan for it.
I am not colorblind, and I prefer this "wow" factory for it's BEAUTY. Don't ruin things for the rest of us...I would hate living in a gray world of braille.
The cost is $40 for the first year The rapture (as an agnostic I had to look this up.) So yes.. you are correct, its a big scam against those who have blind faith that Jesus will return. Can't tell whether its a good scam or a bad one though...
Any of this "be saved by being religious" stuff just makes me sick to my stomach (physically) for some reason...
irony? No... research. How do you expect him to judge what bestiality really is and how harmful it is if he never views any of it himself? That goes with half the judges/lawyers/lawmakers/etc. out there. Pushing laws for things they've never seen or done. To be honest... I'm happy about this. This is like the semi recent (month?) story here about the lawmakers getting prosecuted for child pornography after they voted FOR laws BANNING it (because voting AGAINST it would've made them look bad right?) There's your real ironic "news".
I believe this is a *wooosh* moment... GP was sarcasm, we all know close minded people are never going to admit they are close minded. They stick to insults when confronted with truth.

Would his reason being he want's more results on Google therefor making him "look like" a popular candidate?
