How many could you shred if you were carrying a single card meeting the federal standard?
Zero, it would be another unnecessary card. I already carry a card to prove to the state that I can drive (that doubles as an identifaction card), a card to prove to the ATM I may withdraw money, cards to prove to merchants they can bill me later, and (currently one) card from a private company to prove I can access their workplace. So, I carry zero federal cards that would get replaced. And I don't want the federal government to assume any of those functions.
First, some, I dare say most, stereotypes have at least a germ of truth. My point was that it's a stupid thing to try to prove, like all exagerations.
Secondly, they are conjecturing why what I percieve to be false (such as men like blondes, which is false in my case) is true, and are using facts that are demonstrably false to do so. The first randomly found fact: polygyny (the marriage of one man to many women) is widely practiced in human societies, even though Judeo-Christian traditions hold that monogamy is the only natural form of marriage. That's demonstrably false because Jewish traditions do not hold that it is the only natural form of marrage. The freakin' Bible is full of Jewish people in polygamous relationships. (Yes, now Jewish people practice monogamy, but it is a relatively recent invention given the lifespan of the tradition.)
Thirdly, I daresay most of these explainations are neither new nor news, since I have heard them for the better part of a decade.
This article is just bad in every conceivable way. It's a bunch of psuedo-scientific explaination to justify stereotypes. That, and the 'facts' they use to back up their psuedo-science are wrong.
I don't know about the full article, they won't let you read the article unless you pay money. In fact, the link is worthless as all the free content is duplicated in the summary.
Diet Coke is so different from regular Coke because they are very different products. The same reason that Coke and Diet Coke taste different and people prefer the taste of one or the other. Diet Coke was formulated to taste like New Coke (sweeter, etc.). Comparing Coke to Coke Zero is a more realistic comparision.
You miss grandparents point. The Feds will not issue a Federal ID, your alternative. Rather, they will refuse to accept NH ID's until they comply with the Real ID act. So, they just screw over NH citizens while they elect a government that refuses to comply.
I do wish New Hampshire luck. If anyone is stubborn enough, it's them.
I use visual studio, have a rotating monitor, and have tried both. I like more columns so I can look at two files side by side. Still use 80-column width per file though.
On my screen at work (widescreen 27"). And I find that the 80 column width guidline still helps. (It is our office's standard). I can have two code windows side by side, which is far more valuable than longer column width on just one window. And there is some whitespace so it does not all run together (and when people invariablely violate the column guidelines, I don't get nuts.
Typically, you tell a credit card when the card went missing and what the first fraudulent charge was. You have to sign an affidavit to attesting to those facts under penalty of perjury. Somehow, I don't think the niceness of giving less than $10 to charity is worth a possible 20-year prision term.
IANAL, just a guy whose credit card was once stolen.
Microsoft Office actually did a good job on removing the bloat. OO on the other hand is slow to load and consumes too many resources. Although it is smaller on the hard drive.
Its been a little while, but I don't remember their spreadsheet or presentation software being close to Office. And the text editing software was missing some polish, but not horrid.
Activation is not a feature, it is copy protection to keep people from stealing it. And your link just says "It's annoying because sometimes you have to reactivate it when you change your mobo or somesuch."
Microsoft Office was more modular at the binary level.
Limited time on this earth keeps me from writing modules. Why should I reinvent the wheel?
Ok, I blame Microsoft's Internal Development Team's documentation. Hmmm, But when I read their public documentation it aint that hot either (IMHO). It might lose something in translation, maybe the "Kunnucks" (god bless them) can help them out some. I can read canadian.:)
But apparently not English. The only problem is if Microsoft uses its knowledge of undocumented APIs to gain an advantage on Google. If the documentation is piss-poor (and it is, I've had to rewrite parts so that it was usable), that doesn't matter. It only matters if their internal developers get a better version.
P.S. very clever of you to once more reference Microsoft's opening of an R+D center in Canada because of laxer immigration requirements. I'm sure you see it as a condemnation of Microsoft and not a horribly broken immigration system in the United States.
What? Since when is Microsoft supposed to guarantee apps work OS to OS. OSX killed OS9 apps... in fact Microsoft typically has better support for dropping an old binary on a new version than any other OS (in major version cycles).
And as for undocumented APIs, use them at your own risk.
The only legal problem is if Microsoft's internal development team gets better documentation/advance notice of the "undocumented" API.
That way, scientists will be able to patent valuable genes in our half-squid/half-octopus brethern, as opposed to killing them to protect their trade secrets
Wow, that's amazing logic. Many economists argue X causes Y. You contend Y, therefore you must prove X.
I actually would also contend that all industries are natural monopolies: due to economies of scale for the production of almost everything, and the value of brand recognition, almost everything is a natural monopoly. Further, because businesses prie future profits as well, that monopoly will continue to operate even if that price point is where perfect competion would place it. Lastly, I would contend that competitors will always merge/be aquired, as, where would the downside be?
Microsoft's monopoly is not illegal. Using their monopoly to gain an advantage in different industries/fields/whatever is illegal. So Microsoft is free to use their OS monopoly to progate itself, but not to force you to buy Microsoft Money and destroy Quicken.
That said, this seems like a legitimite OS feature, as opposed to, say HTML rendering or spreadsheet manipulation.
They cannot be. What they are saying is that they have no intention to use GPL3 code, or adopt the "or any later version" language in GPL2. Probably this is in case an employee accidentally (or purposefully with malicious intent), includes GPL3 code, they can disavow his behavior.

That's two conversions required to work with any system, be it American or SI.
Rather, it's one conversion to work in either system. And it's the imperial, not the American system.

Vault Zero has 75mg/12 oz. Starbucks coffee has 200mg/12oz. Various non-soda caffeine amounts here.
... but I just filled out some financial forms, and my fingers were still in "money, money, money" mode.
The robots file can tell spiders to ignore it -or- to index it just not to cashe it. Google's spiders respect the "don't cashe" option.

Does it run Linux?
If I tie two ends of the rope together, does it enter an infinite loop?
If it gets a buffer overflow, would you say it's at the end of its rope?
And lastly... gives a whole new meaning to "your computer is infested with worms."
There is no part of your post that I agree with.
About the only reason to stick with a Windows only app is because it uses a proprietary file format, looking you AutoCAD.
You could want an office suite that actually works (looking at you Open Office). That is, isn't bloated and lacking in features that you need.
