The Article states that it will be a crash landing instead of actually "bombing" the moon in the classical sense. But still, seems kind of reckless considering how important the moon is to our own ecosystem.
I used to go to the quicklube places as well as the dealership, both of which are horrible places to take a car. (any car)
Take it to your local independent mechanic, shop around a little bit going from place to place until you find one you like. Chances are they will be cheaper and will actually do a better job than the dealer or the drive through oil places. And on the plus side, once your car is out of warranty, you will have built up a positive relationship with an already trusted mechanic and wont be up shit creek when something breaks.
But I don't know anything about cars or computers.
This happened originally with the telephone lines, competing companies all ran lines along the same path which created a mishmash of lines crisscrossing all over the place. the consequence of this was unsightly and dangerous.
I don't want to see 30+ telephone lines when I look outside my window, so I guess I take the opposite approach as you, instead of half-assing it, create a quasi-governmental non-profit agency that owns and leases the lines to whoever wants a piece?
2. Monopolies are created by government regulations. In an open market free of most regulations, competition can come and go as the market allows for it.
You are an idiot, please go back to Econ 101 and reread the part about the difference between a free market and a fair market. Additionally, reading up on the history of laissez-faire economics, and how companies act when they are allowed manipulate market forces for their own gain (AT&T + Standard Oil are good starts) would be helpful. Thanks!
I don't think this is exactly the same thing, when a bookstore returns the cover only it is assumed that the book has been destroyed or otherwise disposed of as that is industry standard practice when returning paperback books.
The coverless book is not considered a gift because they received compensation for return of the cover. If they were to go out and resell the coverless book, it would probably amount to copy write infringement because they should have destroyed the book when they returned the cover. Kind of like making copies of a CD and then selling them.
With that said, I have quite the collection of coverless books from my time working at a bookstore.:)
But it doesn't cook dinner for me! COME ON APPLE, why won't you put in the Features I Want!?!
UGG and I have to have a Cell Phone Provider to use a Cell Phone, how unfair is that? It should just magically work right out of the box! How dare a cell phone company lock down the iPhone like they do with every other phone in existence.
[serious] I have an iPhone, I know other people who have iPhones, not one of them has ever complained about the AT&T service to me, nor have I ever had a problem with AT&T. However, people I know who have T-Mobile & Verizon complain all the time. [/serious]
Anybody have any idea why Microsoft would want to limit the amount of HDD space on a machine?
They probably assume people will go for the most hard-drive space when they purchase their computer. So it is probably a ploy to get these people to buy a copy of XP separately and raise sales.
his departure raises questions about the company's ability to retain Web 2.0 talent.
No, you guys have it all wrong. White was "let go" so that Microsoft could bring in "fresher" Web 3.0 talent. God only knows what the next "Catch All" web term will be, and Microsoft has to be ready for it.
I can only hope in the future my glasses/contacts act as a Heads Up Display.
Hopefully it will interface wirelessly with my entire life, not only will it put a little green marker over the place I last left my keys (or whatever else I am looking for), but it will place an objective marker on the "Google Mini-Map(Beta)" when I have an appointment scheduled in my calendar. It will also place a giant red exclamation point over my Boss' head when he is alerted to my presence and give me a warning chime so I can run and hide.
Hell if the future is really bright, the thing will pop up and tell me when my girlfriend/wife is mad at me, and it will automatically direct me to the nearest flower shop.
I'm a 24 year old White Male from texas, I will be voting for Obama, I am not an idiot because I can see through the shallow racism inherent in the people crying foul (would these things be "OK" if it was a white preacher saying them?)
Its simply a stab at smearing a man who can't be smeared directly.
But in other news, I'd rather vote for someone who doesn't turn his back on where he comes from for a few extra votes than someone who blatantly "Misspeaks" (i.e. Lies) to the American people over and over again.
"Doesn't the fact America is massively more violent than Europe and social attidues like this somehow link? Obviously, there's massive disparity of income too that drives the violence, but that in itself is also maintained by 'I'm alright Jack' attitudes like this."
Say what you want, but we don't have roving bands of youngsters destroying property and kicking people to death here in Texas.
You can have your warning signs and ultrasonic devices, I'll take my Riot Shield and Shotgun.
You are comparing apples to oranges here.
Saying that any computer connected to the internet is fair game for snooping is akin to saying that it is ok to enter any house with a door. Rather with a Social Networking website (or any website for that matter), you give your information to a third party, once that happens then the information you gave is no longer under your direct control. So to give an example, it would be like filling out a survey that asks you for some personal information, once you give them the data it is theirs to give away as they see fit.
The moral of the story is that if you don't want the world to know, don't post it on the internet, and ask your friends to do the same.
Actually, this is true. If the NSA is really monitoring all of our communications then they should have a backup.
That would be irony/coincidence if their own wiretapping law was used against them.
Because of people like you, You can call everything a conspiracy theory and denounce it as crazy, but I'd rather have checks in place to make sure anyway.
There isn't any reason to go crying over spilled milk, but at the same time we should be working to make sure it won't spill again. This is one of the ways to make sure our next election is fair.
"There is a significant risk these systems could be hacked or discredited," Denker said.
I pretty much think that this is the point; and it is an important point, because without the ability to call "bullshit" then you lose the legitimacy of the votes. Any corporation wouldn't trust an accountant to maintain the books without auditing them periodically, this is basically the same thing.
also, the systems can already be hacked (quite easily I believe)

I still play Full Throttle every once in a while, just for nostalgia.
Bit Torrent?

Am I the only one who read the title and thought that MSI had made a wind powered laptop?
But did you implement the three laws?
Then there are those who handle product fulfillment for spammers
Wait, those spam messages are actually selling something? I always just thought that it was a ruse to get your CC info.
