done! i don't buy anything from them anymore, not since p2p! j/k but yeah, i've pretty much boycotted them already, there's nothing i want from them these days.
then why isn't she suing the photographer who submitted the image to the photograph and through negligence selected the license that allowed this to happen?
why is she only suing the involved parties who are corporations, including the only party in this whole debacle that has shit loads of cash?
the invasion of privacy happened when the image was submitted to flickr, not when it was used according to its license in an ad campaign.
how is the slogan 'virgin to virgin' derogatory to a faithful churchgoing 16 year old? aren't girls like that supposed to be proud to be virgins?
the only party i can see that has any fault is the party who put the image on flickr, the only party too poor to get any cash out of
no, the point is that 'good' engineers are the ones who will stay all night becasue they get involved in a problem and dont keep track of the time, they stay solving a problem not because they are unable to solve it more quickly but because they just keep right on tinkering until they are about to drop without regard for the passage of time.
and those people ARE better engineers, they value the understanding of the problem and the path to the solution over and above all else, sometimes even familial obligations. so these people can be crappy fathers/husbands too.
however, with age and experience usually comes to any good engineer or geek that the problem will still exist tomorrow and he can still mull it over while playing with his kids (or wife!).
this is also why it's funny. if geekdom were in such a state that all 'good' geeks could not balance out their lives with work and also could never learn to, this would not be funny, it would be a sad total truth.
however it is not a total truth, it's a truth most of the best, or even 'good' grow out of. do you think linus neglects his wife so severely she would believe he was working late instead of having an affair in a situation similar to that joke?
all of the best learn to balance their lives i would think.

the original plan for the eiffel tower was to use as a framework to cover with dirt, creating a large and very steep manmade hill on that meridian, adding 0.278 miles to the length of the meridian through paris.
well, they are french after all.
we need to have a 'pendantic olympics'. the top prize would be a kick in the teeth.
here goes my performance:
water itself is not pure H2O, since the term water predates the knowledge of the chemical formula, however even the empirical formula for water comes out to H2O (assuming the only ions present are H3O+ {there's never really any naked protons in solution, top that!} and OH-, no sodium ions or chloride or anything like that).
scores:
4.7, 4.6, 4.1, 1.6 (french judge), 4.4, 4.6
totaling: 24.0, er...23.99999999 if we're going by the metric standard.
of course not, well not in the metric system. the kilogram still weighs the same number of newtons...but it's weighing less in pounds.
i wonder what this will do to the famed columbian/english cocaine cartels?
the 'terms and conditions' at a car dealer ship only apply until the car is fully paid off. if you walk into the dealership (or the factory) with a briefcase full of cash, you have no obligation to insure your car with comprehensive coverage nor are you bound by any terms they may wish to impose.
the 'terms and conditions' are bound to the financing and are only applicable because the car isn't really yours yet.
doing things that make old products that no longer generate revenue harder to use is good business, if the result is to cause your new product to start generating revenue.

it's not nice to swear like that outside of a screenplay.
you are also not an average user.
raise hell in front of other customers, make sure other customers can tell what the issue is, that's when they play nice to shut you up.

it would likely be the best way to study budget overruns.
the issue with walmart is that they undercut any local retail competition until said competition is out of business and then they raise their prices.
also they try to keep turnover rates high to prevent anyone from working long enough to get too many raises.
walmart is a pox on local american economies.
