the database of the Windows software was not as easy to migrate
No shit, Sherlock. Microsoft Access fires up quicker and runs more smoothly on Microsoft operating systems?
Switzerland is known for its neutrality, but perhaps their brains are just shifted into neutral because they don't really know that the fuck is going on. They want comfort.
Except: you fuckers are in for a rude surprise when you access multiple generations of, um, Access databases. Enjoy your intermittent back-and-forth involuntary installs, you cock-smoking teabaggers!
(Because I work in a shop where Access '97 and Office 2K databases have to play nice with each other on a regular basis)
Which is why the world superpowers need to get together and wipe the Arab states(and Israel) off the face of the map, then split the profits from the resources.
Do you get misty envisioning at least 50 more years of driving comfortable climate-controlled SUV's with DVD players in 'em to distract your 5 kids during the grueling 1/4-mile trip to Whole Foods(tm)?
Do you get misty envisioning the Arab women in your countries finally empowering themselves and flinging the rags off their faces to share their beauty and companionship with cultured, large-dicked white men who bathe on a regular basis and know how to treat women with the respect they deserve?
Those damn shin-kickers have been toying with us and trolling us for too long. It's high time we bring in the Orkin men to take those vermin out.
Nothing is more annoying than sites like CNN.com (in before sheeple), in which compelling-looking links to stories direct the viewer to just a video(usually along with a mandatory ad that can do tricky stuff like pause automatically when the window loses focus).
Yeah, I know they started putting the "TV" icon next to the links. It's still infuriating that the text versions are not offered or are so hidden that you might as well just google it and go somewhere else.
Gadgets and the internet are all about instant gratification. Many of us can read much faster than we can sit through a video and an ad.
Like all advertising, it will first earn your trust and make you believe that you are in control. It will then begin to subvert you, changing your behavior, subtly at first, based on the psychological profile that the mothership has compiled. Your trust in your gizmo will cause you to believe that the decisions it suggests are your own, as it begins to influence your decision-making and even your personality.
Once upon a time there was paperwork involved in being part of experimental studies. In the age of google, the "search/Yes/I agree" button is your consent.
It makes perfect sense when you think about it: Kentucky was a slave state, and nobody enjoys fried chicken more than black people do. A real authentic black man from Chicago even told me,
"Man, white dudes say some wack shit about black people, but we do love our fried chicken. That ain't no lie."
There is also a popular urban legand that Kentucky Fried Chicken had to change their name to KFC because they had found a way to grow birds with four legs and six wings to maximize yield, but the FDA would no longer allow them to be called "chickens."
Funny thing is, back in the day they would have preferred "high fructose corn syrup" over "corn sugar" because the stigma carried by the word "sugar."
The stigma was so bad that the famous cereal Sugar Pops dropped the word from its name and was renamed to the Corn Pops that we enjoyed with our Thundercats and G.I. Joe. Another example is Sugar Smacks, which was renamed to Honey Smacks.
Also: Kentucky Fried Chicken successfully pushed to be known as just "KFC" because of the stigma surrounding the word "fried."
Ignoring gravity works when you run off the edge of a canyon or your ACME rocket runs out of propellant. You don't fall until you actually look down and remember gravity.
I have mixed feelings, having repaired laptops for a day job and battering plenty of my own.
The idea looks good at first glance, because tablets use something known cutely as The Achilles Hinge. The dell mechanism that swivels the screen does not depend on friction, but probably a latch.
But, there are a good number of hinge-related problems, namely cracked cases around the hinge supports. In this case the top clamshell dosen't have the weight and the sturdiness of a fully integrated LCD and, even with a latch, we may be left with a flimsy outer "picture frame" that may be prone to bending and even breaking. You know what I'm talking about if you've ever opened (carefully) a laptop clamshell without the LCD attached. Any hinges which depend on friction will render your gadget useless if they go limp.
It's all Apple's fault, of course. They had the change to make something more than a glorified, overpriced, locked-down "phone-without-the-phone."
The question is, why the fuck would he want to become a U.S. citizen? Does he really want to belong to the bloated, idiotic, beligerent natinon of greedy, obese, voyeuristic thug schweinhunds?
Shit, I'm a lifelong American and I'm trying to move to Finland!
People would be more likely to submit to the quicker and less invasive iris scans as part of a centralized tracking program in the name of, wait for it, "National Security."
For example, it will start with mandatory scans for passports and airports, then all border crossings, then even bus and train stations and amusement parks, and where can they take it from there?
Have you played marble madness? I think it was from the same company that did Snake Rattle and Roll. Both games had that kinda 3-d thing, and both were tough as hell.
I obviously dislike modern religion as much as you do, but "god" is less of an abnormality and more of a transference of a parental figure which gave us life.
Sucking on our momma's titties kept us alive. To this day we love sucking on titties. The sun has kept us alive. We mature as adults, but we never forget the attention and even pleasures of being coddled and even disciplined for acting out. We are the sum of our experience, and that includes the need for those stimuli. For some people, being religious continues to fill the void created by weening(not just in the breast-feeding sense, but in the sent-off-into-the-world sense).
Problem is, that it's so prevalent that it can be used to control the multitudes of morons who cannot disentangle that romantic concept from their working lives. That's why well-meaning modern religious people are often used as tools: they were never fully "weaned" enough to really think for themselves.
Your kids are going to thank you for all of your Lysol-spraying when they're allergic to peanuts and chocolate. I hope they enjoy living life in plastic bubbles.
Go out into the woods and drink some spring water.
Much rather drink the delicious organic water from the Cascade brooks than the crap that flows out of metropolitan taps. Would you rather drink a few drops of deer piss, or do you enjoy putting pharmaceutical waste, fluoride, heavy metals, and who knows what else into your body?

It wouldn't be nearly as bad if it were, say, Canada or Brazil.
Venezuela is known for it's anti-American leader Hugo Chavez, who loves to troll us. From what I hear, though, his people are sick of his bullshit.
Obvious American intelligence tool. Why is it in North American plants? So they can cause accidents for fearmongering and to further their agenda.

This Yahoo press release is contradictory and will undoubtably anger many a Slashdot reader.
Anyway, sorry. Regardless of what you say, there is still no god, and religion still sucks.
Amen. So who likes Slayer?
