OK, now let's run with that analogy, it's close enough for illustrative purposes.
So, 1/3 of all cars are exposed to this radiation which weakens seatbelts anyway.
Now, a small proportion of all cars, we could go by model but let's go by circumstance instead... Maybe let's say 98% cars used for off-roading are exposed to this radiation.
So now, instead of 33%, it's what, 34%, 35%? If this is an issue, then the 33% is also an issue and we should be doing what we an to eliminate that. Sure, it's not ideal if you're a farm worker or an off-roader (in the car analogy case) but many jobs and activities have negative aspects.
I just think that statistics are being used here to generate a story when there isn't one. "Farm workers have increased risk of infection" just doesn't have the same ring for pulling in the $$$
Disclaimer: I am no fan of mega-scale industrial farming but if 1/3 of us are carrying this crap around anyway and we aren't dropping in the street or fighting off the zombie apocalypse, I have to wonder how much of a problem it actually is.
A Libertarian society would have *NO* schools? What are you smoking? I don't think even the statiest of statiests would say that if they are in the least bit intellectually honest. That statement doesn't even deserve a sincere rebuttal. I'll just chuckle and shake my head.
You didn't think the reality distortion field was just a figure of speech, did you? It's been the primary subject of research for Apple to try and reform the Beatles since their revenues fell so heavily when they split up. (The whole Apple suing Apple thing was just a smokescreen, man).
Sounds like they need to tweak that then. Or possibly, they just couldn't get many of their drivers out that night (perhaps they were all at the concert? ):)
Social actions are by-the-by. Reasons that people might object to U2 are their own, just as others may not object to this Tyler dude. Personal choice should be respected. I believe U2 are somewhat partisan in their views on the Northern Ireland situation. Some loyalists might find that offensive.
And it's not about the deletion, the album shows against your account as "purchased" implying that you have made a choice. Offering for free is one thing, this is quite another.
Not that those in thrall to Apple shouldn't know better anyway but some people just need their eyes opening, I guess. I'm sure Google won't be much better though.
They are not trying to be cost competitive to taxi services, they are trying to be *better*. It doesn't matter if taxis are cheaper if you can't get a taxi in a reasonable amount of time. If prices are allowed to rise with demand, that will encourage *more* drivers to be on the road to meet that demand. If you want cheaper, you can still wait around an hour for a regular taxi to become available. If you want to be on your way to your next adventure of the night, perhaps you're willing to spend a little more.
Ideally, if one were truly archiving, you'd keep the original media around but the truth of the matter is that one is probably digitizing in order to be able to throw out what are basically big and bulky items that truthfully have little value but you just can't throw away without feeling a little guilty.
I have a big stack of negatives I inherited from my grandparents. The truth is that probably no one who knows anyone in those pictures is still alive. We have left the era when that kind of thing was rare and interesting and we're now into the "irrelevant info dump" era where every minutae of a persons life is available to the world and in 50 years nobody will care unless you become noteworthy or famous or happen to have descendents who are into all that genealogy stuff..
Time will tell. I don't need to calm down. I'm perfectly calm but I can see what's happening and huge amounts of money with nowhere else to go are flowing into the stock market currently.

In that case, they should probably just increase the size of the Apple logo by 20%
Yeah, those grapes were probably sour anyway, amiright?
Exactly my thoughts. And I'm into 3d printing and taking 3d pictures. This just makes no sense for everyday use for the mass market.
too, too
You're either five years to late or 5 years to early for the last and next 3D fads respectively.
What for?

Statists gonna State

You'd end up in a shit hole of a society in which things like roads and schools don't work and don't get funded.
So about the same but with less taxes then?
Everything old is new again.

Combine it with the Doom mod for killing processes and you could make killing print jobs a fun option.
For real fun, rogue DHCP server.
This is the truth.

After hoodies, welding glasses.
It's Canter and Siegel for the new millennium. Expect to see more of this (and not just from Apple).
We need a proper open-source phone. Maybe it's time to look into that Pi-phone again. http://www.raspberrypi.org/pip...
So how would you feel if his album suddenly showed up as "Purchased" on your phone?
Where you can pay the regular bill but you can't afford to pay the penalty and reconnection fees? I believe that's called the A.S.S. hole.
I'm planning on the lines that anything to do with the $ is risky in the medium term. Check out what BRIC is getting up to and you'll see why.
