I stand corrected. I've only seen the kiosks or mini-bars that are affiliated with another business (Albertson's, Safeway, etc), not a full stand alone store that is independent. I didn't think they were allowing that.
And somehow mercury when used as a vaccine preservative and directly injected into the human body is safe?
Show evidence otherwise. That's what science is about. It's not about making unsubstantiated claims on the internet, that's for damn sure. Prove that mercury when introduced into the human body in these amounts is a real danger. Cite your sources, please, you've already spouted plenty enough garbage for one day, thanks.
Actually, they've found a very high rate of autism coming from the children in silicon valley
Autism rates are up all over North America. Lots of research points to the ridiculous amount of cocktail vaccines that are now given to children. The drugs are approved in isolation but handed out mixed together and no one knows what happens when you combine them.
Vaccines are fine, and there's nothing wrong in telling your doctor you'd rather have then in single doses, spread out over time. This allows the body to absorb and adapt to them without having to deal with the vaccine soup all at once.
I'm sorry, I think you meant to post this mind-numbing drivel in the Scientific Hoaxes story, not this one.
And the license is what's being challenged here. Does Apple have the right to sell an OS, and then state that it can only be used if you already have another version of the OS installed? Personally, I don't see how a company can sell me something then tell me I can only use it in these certain circumstances. If they want to offer rebates to people who already own a prior version of the OS, that's fine, but don't sell me something then say I can't use it myself, or I can't sell it to someone else. The licenses need to be blow out of the water by someone challenging them, and that's what Psystar is doing.
They're paying for the OS. Does Apple not make money selling their OS? If they're not charging enough that's a separate issue. Psystar isn't stealing anything from anyone. They pay all their suppliers, AFAIK. No one's hauled them up for fraud or theft. Apple gets paid the same way as their case and mobo manufacturers get paid.
The major gripe for ordinary users is the loss of Target Disk Mode. I can't count the number of times my ass has been saved by being able to boot my powerbook/ibook/macbook as a firewire drive.
That's weird. I thought Apples never ever broke. Maybe you've got bad ones?
And no all the other stuff does not work as well under USB.
Oh, OK. We'll just take your word for it. USB doesn't work as well for all the other stuff. You're right. Apple was wrong because you said that USB doesn't work as well. You've won the argument. Congratulations!
It's useful when you buy a new Mac - you can use it to easily populate one from the other's hard drive.
Wow. So it's useful once. For a purpose that there are many other more cost effective solutions. Oh, I suppose you'd use it twice, once when to transfer stuff to the new machine, and again to transfer stuff out of the machine when you're done with it. I'm underwhelmed, completely.
Technologies get dropped because they aren't used, not because they weren't good or weren't useful to the people that liked them. Firewire is a niche technology. It's being moved to a niche machine (the Macbook Pro). It's a waste of money on a lot of machines (including machine I've ever owned). Good bye and good riddance.
IMHO, letting an interviewer think that you have to learn anything in order to do the job is the kiss of death for any interview.
Nobody knows everything. If you come to an interview and lie about what you know, we're going to figure it out pretty darn quick. If you don't know a subject well, admit it. Don't waste everyone's time.
When I hire programmers, I'm not particularly interested in the specifics of what they know and what they don't know. I want to know if they understand basic design concepts, security issues, database design concepts, etc. The specifics are not difficult for someone who's already gone through the trouble to learn two or three different programming languages. I'll take someone with design skills over someone with language skills every time.
If you don't know design, well, you're up shits creek.
His argument makes perfect sense. The proof is that you understood what he was saying in it's entirety despite your arrogant, childish, semantics attack. Thanks for the lecture on how the world should be. Welcome back to the world that is: PC means windows. You knew it, so his comment made perfect sense.
Next time you want to be wise ass, try not to shoot yourself in the foot so obviously. It makes you look like a stupid dick.
I know it seems unlikely Google would just drop a service like that. Except that, well, they already have.
Yeah. All those services that Google already has dropped are exactly like GMail. I remember the outcry when all those people lost all that data when Google Keyboard Shortcuts was taken off line. And who can forget the data armageddon that was the ending of Google Slideshow? It was like Y2K II. Yeah, Google shuts down services and leaves all your data high and dry all the time. Very insightful.
Gmail allows you to download your email via pop3 and imap. You can also set it to automatically all email to another account. There is no excuse not to have a backup of all your Gmail mail. This "it might suddenly vanish" argument is a strawman.
Yeah, but what if a meteor hits your other account's server farm at the same time? Will you still be whistling Dixie then? I think not. Cloudbusters FTW.
My Dell M170 video card and mobo choked after about a year and a half due to heat. Fortunately, I had a two year warranty. After that mess was cleared up, I extended the warranty out another 3 years, the max I could buy for that machine.
Only if you don't understand how the quota system works. Once you fill your quota, you can lease quota from less successful fishing boats. That's why they do the crab count. It's not a mad dash like it was in the first season but it's still a race. Once the quotas are leased to another vessel they're theirs to harvest, but it's not as cut and dried as you think. In fact I believe one of the vessels was doing so poorly this year they ended up leasing their quota out and cutting their season short this last season.
I've gotten more work that way. These cheap bastards spend $10K on their data stores but won't spring for a $1K-$2K redundant cooling system. Here's a news flash: Your cooling system is just as important to keep your business running as your $5K switch is. Don't nickle and dime yourself out of business. Your insurance claim will be denied when they find out you didn't cool your RAID properly, brainiac.
No one has witnessed anything that would have involved children, if you assume that "animation depicting" means drawings, and not movies. The word "depicting" suggests that it is not real.
If you assume these observations are correct, then you must be a Slashdot lawyer. Instead of assuming something, why don't you see what the legal definition of "depicting" is. Why don't you look at the transcript of the actual testimony, instead of paraphrasing a Slashdot blurb, and declaring this guy innocent?
This is just another episode of the Hans Reiser Slashdot Law forum deciding from web articles the injustices meted out on some hapless victim of our so-called corrupt judicial system.
I fucking hate cops. They all believe that if you're in jail that you're guilty, they're only interested in processing cases not justice, and a good majority of cops are just psycho-bullies from grade school who want to shoot a gun.
Yo, dumbass, if you ever read the constitution, you'd know that it's not their place to dispense justice. That's the job of the courts.
Just because you got caught breaking into your high school doesn't mean that cops are crooked. You've had such a hard life. Wah.
Whether reasonably measurable or not, they are, without my express authorization or compensation, using energy from my vehicle and causing additional wear and tear on my vehicle. This could be construed as theft of service (transportation fees).
This is exactly why I'm suing the DOT for not cleaning the roads. I have to carry around all their dust, which is causing additional wear and tear on my vehicle. They're stealing my cars utility from me!

YMMV if it is independently operated.
There are no independently operated Starbucks stores.
Youth: Umm, excuse me sir, but your fly is open, so I stuck my hand in there and grabbed your wee-wee.

Yes and no. In the financial industry, for example, COBOL mainframes hang on primarily because their reliable.
BS. In the financial industry COBOL mainframes hang on because they're PAID FOR.
If you so smart, how come you ain't rich?
And they really, really, really help during the "electrocute" phase.
