Yeah, that makes sense, until you look at reality. The European drive to colonize paid a lot of lip service to religion, but in the end it was the almighty gold piece that drove the conquest. How do we justify the cost of putting a person on the moon? By the economic benefits of the scientific discoveries and the resulting technology created.
Economics drives our pushes forward, not religion. Scarcity is the underlying force.
To clarify: Judge: "They both were lying asshats. Assume Samsung is guilty and unable to make an adequate defense against the charges. Assume Apple's claims are overblown. Feel free to be as impartial as you see fit. I'm done with this." Jury:"Awesome. "We'll be back in a few hours after we figure out what charges Samsung can't defend against and which ones Apple is going overboard on."
Jury: "We'll just disregard all this prior art hubbub because our foreman has determined that it doesn't matter, on account of that they used different processors. Although this conflicts directly with what the instructions they gave us say, he's an unbiased engineer right? Good enough."
A lot of those people didn't just disappear. They were taken in full view of the entire community to never return. Many did re-appear in mass graves that were never hidden. Sometimes there was no grave at all and the bodies were left in the street. These were not isolated incidences. The OP was about a community with two people, one who dide and one who mysteriously moved away. This is quite a different situation from what happened in El Salvador, Chile, and Nicaragua. Mass dissappearances/murders are fairly explicit message, not unlike lynching.
Simply because the US spends more money on war industries does not mean that France is not getting a free ride. The reason for the tremendous spending doesn't negate the fact that the US and France are tied together in NATO and that France does benefit from the US excessive spending.

Oh sure, everybody loves maps turn by turn directions. Especially my friends wife Lisa, a non-technical sort, who was told to turn the wrong way down a one way street in downtown Beaverton, OR last Friday night. Oh, but I'm sure her ire stems from her slavish devotion to tech blogs, and not the reality that Maps sucks.
Or perhaps my friend Casey is reading too many blogs and that's why she's angry that Maps doesn't include street view, a feature she used a great deal delivering goods around Portland? She doesn't even own a computer. But you're right, it's only the tech blogs that are making a big deal out of this.
You need to be realistic about Apples failures. Encouraging them by rushing to their defense when they screw up isn't going to make things better.
Anecdotally, I don't know of anyone who was affected by this reorganization of Apple's stores to even bother to mention it. On the other hand, EVERYONE I know who has updated to iOS 6 or purchased an iPhone 5 has commented on how fucked the new Maps application is.
This would imply, in my world, that the first issue is a fluff piece, posted to garner this false aura of fairness, and the latter is a huge fuckup that he's apologizing for like a good lap dog eagerly waiting his tickets to the next great thing unveil.
If I have a hammer I have to use it for every single task I have, otherwise what's the point of owning a hammer?
I'm a little confused. Can you restate that with a car analogy?
If I have a car that hammers nails into wood I have to use for every single task I have, otherwise what's the point of owning a car that hammers nails into wood?
Not for use at all times. When you're crusing on the freeway and driving is uneventful, turn it on. When you're on a windy dirt road with a sheer cliff on one side and a rock wall on the other, turn it off. This ain't rocket science.
I'm going to say that sedentary jobs have far more to do with that for adults than angry birds.
This. Oddly, the obesity epidemic started up when we the Job Creators purged us of the soul-killing manual labor that was the scourge of previous generations. Praise be to the Job Creators!
Ya but mobile phones make Slashdot topic responses fill up even faster now. I only have a few minutes after a new topic before it becomes so clogged I can no longer get +1 funnies because I'm lost in the woodwork.
On noes! This topic has 128 responses already! More first-rate humor wasted >:-(
There comes a time when one must realize that the issue may not the number of the posts, but rather the quality of the funny...
You have access to what you want to see, and read the things you want to read, and people you want to talk to. When you read a random magazine, or talk to a random person, or have random thoughts, something new and interesting might happen in your life or you might learn something new. Change! Avoid! Step outside your closed little box and take the chance to experience something different.
I agree that you should put down the cell phone if the only source for new experiences in your life is random interaction with strangers and old magazines.
I extremely skeptical of the productive value of talking to completely random people who just happen to be at the same office as you. Talking to people can certainly be extremely productive, but it's the right people, not just anyone.
Particularly people who are infirm. When I'm at the doctor's for anything other than a routine checkup (and even then a lot of times), I'd rather not be bothered by someone trying to stike up an awkward conversation to pass the time. It's stressful enough without having to babysit a manchild who can't sit and contemplate their own mortality in silence...

I'd never vote for someone in the Horde. I hope her opponent is Alliance, otherwise I'll have to write in, yet again.
In my experience it hasn't been nearly as cut and dried as this. There are jerks of every ilk.
Have you seen that study that suggests that tinfoil hats actually attenuate radio signals? I'll just leave this out here.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about when France left NATO.

Them Englishmen really don't like their accused pedophiles.
Fixed that for you. Why don't they just burn accused pedophiles and be done with this pretense?

No, about a dozen friends and relatives who have iPhones.
You really should work harder on your ad hominem attacks. This one isn't even worth the mod point to bury.
Criticizing Apple over something they didn't do is most definitely a fluff piece.

Yes, because the French Revolution in 1789 inspired the American war of Independence in 1776. Math not your stong point?

Yeah, because if you nit pick the small stuff you can claim to be fair when you apologize for the big stuff.
I'm not a huge fan of iOS, but to Apple's credit, at least they confine their tablet interface to tablets.
...as OSX creeps closer and closer to iOS UI.
Shouldn't the title read: SOME Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7?
Doesn't have the same impact when you tell the truth, eh?
