It was a mistake to allow apps to declare which access rights they want and then present users with a take-it-or-leave-it choice. While this part in itself is not a bad thing, it should be possible for users to fine-tune the settings once an app is installed and the apps then cope with that. I know there are apps out there that let you do this or similar but it should have been built in from the start. This is the activeX of the 2010s
You could use it without being aware the CLI existed
Until, in the middle of editing your 500 row spreadheet and spell-checking your 5000 word document and componsing the funniest Usenet message ever written, you're suddenly faced with a black screen and a C:\> prompt...
Unless you got in in the last 10 days or so, you're probably still looking good. Though it remains to be seen what happens when MtGox reopens in a couple of hours.
I have some older drives that have been spinning for a long time I also have quite a few newer drives that don't seem to be able to last 24 months. Reliability is through the floor these days.
But this is somewhat by design. More hashing power means a healthier Bitcoin network. The point of the mining reward is not to be egalitarian in distributing new bitcoins but rather to encourage the networking effects that are needed.
I've caught myself doing this a couple of times recently. My arm was in the way of the light and couldn't hear the click with the top down. Or maybe I'm just getting old. Now where's my cloth cap?
Ok, I see I was a little ambiguous. My watch has each timezone which makes it really easy to switch. Heading to England? Dial up LON, hit both buttons and watch in amusement as the hands spin around. It has at least 12 different timezones however and no way to know which is supposed to be in daylight savings (or whatever the local equivalent is called). Typically I only bother to set them correctly if I know I'll be needing them. What would be nice would be to plug in the watch once a year and have it programmed for all the upcoming changes. It's not quite that level of technology though (I still like it a lot).
+2 or 3 on this one. There is a cop who works the drug enforcement area near Dickson on I40 in TN (Though I hesitate to call it drug enforcement as they hang out on the money side). I see him sometimes heading down to the interstate in his SUV, speeding, swerving in and out of traffic and tailgating. I really should get a dashcam.
Then again, there is the "move over" law which is badly signed, not indicating that it is supposed to be "if it is safe to do so". I've seen a couple of cars nearly taken out by other trucks and cars because of that one. Here's a hint, if it's that dangerous to be pulling people over, how about you don't do it unless they are actually endangering others? 2-3mph over prevailing speed on an empty stretch of road? It's just not worth it.
First is the blatant unfairness: why do Google employees get tax-free lunches when, someone else (say, for example, me) has to pay for my lunch with post-tax income.
Jeez, take it up with your employer. Why do people feel that if they can't get ahead themselves, they need to try to take others down?

Watch out for the later BtGH books which were not written by HH at all and are a pile of poo.

Transaction fees.

Cause it was dirt cheap? I think it was around $10 per 4Gigs when I was buying and there was a deal if you bought two also.
Oh yeah? Then how did the glass cut his feet?

What was the price three weeks ago? Three months?
Alternatively, making the platform open to competition keeps app prices down. This, in turn makes the platform more attractive.

30 in a 20 is speeding yet is slower than your 50. You statements do not compute.
Yes, I should be looking at the speedometer, not at the road.

What other 72%? Your chance is 28% higher. There is no 72% of anything in it.
Bonus is that with all the junctions automated, even traveling more slowly, you would more than likely still arrive earlier.

Consider a world where cash salaries weren't taxable.

No, you misread. It's "Zombies eat brains". Not "Brians".
Moses laughs in your face. The 10 commandments weren't carved, they were from an RSS feed.

That’s a good analogy, but then why do I pay taxes for my benefits, like my pension plan?
Simple answer, you shouldn't. Just cause government's scummy in one area, let's not invite it into others.
