Has anyone here had a better experience upgrading an MS product? I always learned to simply install fresh, so an upgrade seems like a potentially Bad Idea.
I thought for years that I'd cheated on an ex of mine. When someone asked me to recount everything that had happened, I came to that part and realized I'd simply been guilted, shamed, and abused into thinking I'd done something terribly wrong, when I was really just the victim of a person who was being horrible and vicious.
Movie was juvenile, but I actually found it pretty hilarious. Not high-brow funny, and a little stunted sometimes, but I laughed. I'm not sure I need to see the movie again (ok ok, it was pretty low-brow yuks, for sure) but it was a good enough time (I didn't pay to see it, so....)
SPOILERTH: it could have had a much better ending, with Kim Jong-un faking his death and moving to a different country, or abdicating and becoming a disco dancing star, or something happier than getting blown up, but that's just my 2 cents.
Try telling this to my boss. I work in finance and have a CFP. My boss is *crazy* ambitious. Absolutely bonkers. She grew up poor and now she is so nuts about being #1 that she works our asses into the ground triple/quadrupel checking work sometimes just to be sure we get a few more dollars of business. There is NO WAY to have more downtime. We could close the office a day per week... that;d be nice.
I say we cap how much money people can make, or severely limit it after a certain point. Once someone hits that cap there's no reason to amass more personal wealth, only work on personal accolades and hiring more quality people who can also come up in the world.
I know it's a hamfisted approach, just throwing this out there if anyone's still reading.
It hasn't. There are all sorts of obscure tv shows and movies that will never see the light of day which one was able to find on TPB. Paid is fine, but there's lots of cool content that will be lost if TPB goes down permanently.
I know someone who works on this kind of stuff. He works on theme parks, recently getting hired (within his company) to fix mistakes and problems with them, in Dubai and the surrounding area. His take is repeatedly that they don't know how to do quality-control there. Their projects SOUND amazing, but they skimp on the essentials and end up with disastrous results much of the time. He believes this is a mess waiting to happen, given the area's track record, but isn't involved in the project.
No, really, what the heck is their deal? If I get only 7 hours of sleep for more than 2-3 days, I start turning into an ornery, unfocused, weak, idiot zombie who's as likely to pour a cup of coffee into his lap as into the mug!
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom hasn't come up yet?
Coming to terms with what it might be to actually be human... printing ourselves and transferring a back-up to that body... what does that mean? will consciousness go with it?
To me, consciousness is probably just an electronic current that holds us to our memory. The terrifying moment, even if I could replicate myself elsewhere, is,"What happens when I sever that connection and transfer over/" will I just die and a perfect copy keeps living on just as I was a moment ago, or do I go with it? *could anyone tell*? It is the stuff not just of the fear of death, but no one ever knowing that makes it a nightmare.
Really? ARE people voting for tax cuts for the rich?
Please, show me where they are doing this. Evidence.
Yes, it's kind of rhetorical. People are not voting for this. It is not the People's fault, that is the point of the article. The point is that the rich are voting for tax cuts on the rich.
Also, they aren't. Here in California the rich just got shit-smacked with a nice extra tax if they make over 250K a year (fairly common here).
This is going to be the downfall of netflix. Now that comcast knows they can extract money from Netflix they're going to keep squeezing them harder and harder.
I'll say it one more time, and probably get modded as "-1 doesn't know when to stop" but the above comments support this:
Augmented vs virtual reality are very different, yes, and FB should NOT compete with glass imo.
Facebook would be best served in buying (or if they're actualyl smart are already considering buying) Valve. Shell out obscene amounts of money. Sign contracts. Whatever it takes. Fold the user base of PC Gaming As We Popularly Know it into the Oculus user base, let it organically grow into the Facebook ecology (I know this is idealistic, FB is much too hungry for revenue, methinks).
I don't care much for Steam's friend system, but if I coudl push a button on FB, ro get updates that all my friends are playing something on Steam right now, pop on those goggles and go? I'd pay for a service like that, or I at least interact with it if it doesn't try to plaster ads all over my eyeballs...
If I were CEO for one day, this is what I'd maneuver for. Any thoughts, slashdot?

For the love of god, please just give us a half-way decent internet connection. Please?
Hell offer it to Glendale or some other "city" in Los Angeles. I'll bet they'll find a way...

I had this happen to me, kind of...

people are pretty pliable.
I saw it!

all this money floating around had to start making interesting headlines like this eventually.
See headlines from 2008, 1999 also.
It hasn't. There are all sorts of obscure tv shows and movies that will never see the light of day which one was able to find on TPB.

Meditate. even 5-10 minutes a day is a good start.
Notch getting pissed about Facebook buying Oculus?
Mr. Pot, white courtesy phone from a Ms. Kettle
Yeah, my girlfriend used to suffer from CFS. She Couldn't Forget Shit, and I was ALWAYS to blame for it.
In colIege, I knew a girl who had TWO of these! Woo, mama! She helped me with my Calculus, alright....

Crowd-fund it.

I don't understand how people do it.
I knew Sting concert tickets had gotten expensive, but this?
So they want to turn all social media into an even more passive-aggressive wasteland than much of it already is?

Sorry to post so dark... nice weather, huh?
yeah, but this is the internet. how much that you actually read really happens?
people are anonymous, they tend to exaggerate.
For what reasons will it fail, then, would you say?
Let's stop calling them that long, euphemistic word: Super rich.
Let's call them what they are: Nobility.
Frame the language, frame the debate.

Or ants and cricket, or plants, or politicians...
It's a lost word in our language, basically, but they call the rebound "contrecoup"
