Dude, you really need to shut up. You are almost full retard right now. "making music on an iPad" ? WTF!! Please point us to a link demonstrating iPad generated music so I can restart my laughter.
No, we are not. As soon as you are without a PC/laptop you will be missing it. If you do not have it you are limited in what you can do--nope can't play WoW with you guys, all I have is a tablet. This isn't some religion consumers have adopted for god's sake. It is not like a PC or laptop is some crazy expensive device that they have to do without in order to own a tablet. Get real. When was the last time you downloaded a torrent or ripped a DVD on a tablet. Every non-technical person I know is downloading torrents and ripping DVDs and now BluRays. This argument is retarded--thoroughly retarded and bankrupt of reason. Maybe teenagers are not glued to a PC 24/7 but my wife is, and ALL her friends are. I know you can "do" Facebook on a tablet or phone but it is an incidental thing. To get serious about it they sit in front of a fucking PC.
Years ago when I was a young lad back on the toad farm (4000 head) I recall the sensitivity the toads had to various climatic and environmental changes. I would go into the barn where about 1000 of our toads where housed at any one time, it could be a sunny day with a clear blue sky, and the toads would be twitching, bumping into each other and whatnot. Sometimes it would get really scary as I feared for my safety from their bucking and random jaunting. But anyway, it seemed they would start reacting to storms way before any human could even sense them. After a while you learned to read the toads and know what was coming.
wow.....on so many levels. "Here we see the north american fleetfooted flannel shod redneck about to make an attempt on this particular female........she's not having it, oh oh, oooohhhh, no one saw that coming!"
I own one TV but only use it for watching movies via DVD. I have no cable or reception since I opted out of the digital receiver conversion thingy. I haven't had TV since. It is actually like breaking a drug addiction. You always think about it and wish you could tun on the news, but I know I'm better off without it. I only watched PBS before ditching it anyway, which is OK. The real issue isn't the recession OR streaming, it is a lack of notable or appropriate content. Seriously, all the network stuff was trash. When I did switch off PBS to another channel it wasn't for long.
I vote for a desktop distro. I take back everything I've said about LibreOffice, I shouldn't have judged it by its stupid name. I discovered that it can use.docx the other day, I was somewhat shocked since that was the only reason I was hanging onto MS Orifice, which, as pretty as it is, is getting quite annoying these days. I would definitely try an Android desktop distro! I've been using Mint 12 for a couple of days and I'm still experiencing quirky behavior. It was pretty bad with Gnome 3, and MATE is not much better, oh well, back to Gnome Classic (No Effects). Installing an Android desktop would be like Christmas morn. It would be oh so sweet to see laptops available "like your phone" for consumers....with free Microsoft compatible office software!!
A brokerage also buys ALL of the stock being put up by the company at a lower "wholesale" price and come IPO day you buy it from them at the "market" price.
The are giving up on performance and going after the low end market. They are relying on clock speed (although not at this release) to maintain performance. It will work, for the low end. AMD gives me that Cyrix icky feeling now.
I concur, those things are kind of....I don't want to say junky, but they could have used a different design guess. I boogered my first two heat sinks pretty good. You have to be very deliberate when installing these things. It is rather unfortunate that you have to lapse into deep concentration to mount them. Definitely not to be preformed by a non-professional. It may have been that I was used to mounting heat sink units without studying a set of directions.
The Bulldozer release showed AMD's commitment to low-end computers. I opted for Phenom II over Bulldozer because of the architecture changes. My next setup, if not another Phenom II, will be Intel.
"these records have been written in cursive which unlike block is a screaming nightmare to handle automatically."
Bull, the post office has been processing chicken scratch (in milliseconds) since the 80's. IBM has hand writing recognition solutions that would blow your little mind.
Cancer certainly is an industry. A well paying industry. I'm not impressed by making people live long WITH cancer. The ADA has a monopoly on medical practice in America, I prefer choices. There has been solid research on regeneration (magnetic fields, electricity, etc..) as it applies to healing that has wide application when the results are analyzed in relation to cancer and other disease mitigation. These methods have the potential to destroy the ADA monopoly and eventually render drug "treatments" for certain ailments, if not all of them, unnecessary. Chemical reactions are electrical interactions after all. Some of this research is still being carried out, but it seems to be rather muted as I should assume there is advancement. There is a book one might examine called The Body Electric to start researching this subject--I believe it was published in 1984.
"That you're allowed to collect money from gullible morons if you can convince them of your quackery is not questioned, that you can try to hold the scientific community at bay through litigious behavior is.".....I think you just described the modern drug industry.
"If you like having no creative input, if you enjoy toiling in obscurity, if you enjoy petty bosses who poo-poo your ideas only to bring them up as their own 6 months later, work for the government."...wow...couldn't have said it better myself. I've been studying organizational structures and leadership, and I discovered that I work in the exact opposite of the environment I thrive or wish to be in.

Hi groupon shill!
THEY DON"T CARE! Everyone involved with Poupon already made their fortune.
Dividends? Who pay dividends?

You have never worked in government have you?

My guess, they will all end up in different formats none of which are text based, which is what it should be.
What is the up front cost to convert?
How long will it take the up front cost to be absorbed by the savings?
Irrelevant accounting speak, it has to be done, so just do it.

Offices were invented for a reason. Screaming kids is but one of those reasons.

No, I think it is effective lobbying.
