Google financed/bought/developed Android to give people an option that didn't require them to live with Apple's restrictions. They gave it away for free because they knew it would ultimately increase their advertising revenue by getting more people to spend more time on the internet.
Except you don't get it all for free, you (phone/tablet makers) have to pay for some of the parts actual real world people want.
Do you mean something like a HOA? If so, that is a kind of government, even if they don't necessarily have the rule of law behind them. (But since those under the HOA rules signed contracts, the HOA does have rule of the _external_ government.)
So, taking him on his own words ("I don't think you want someone as the candidate for president who pays more taxes than he owes"), I didn't vote for him. (Among other reasons, even though on a checklist, I probably come closer to his side on many issues.)
Since there is no evidence to show that there is a god, the default supposition is that there is no god. So someone needs to provide evidence that there is one.
If you aren't paying sales tax you are committing tax evasion. I know of know [sic] state that doesn't require tax on online purchases if the retailer doesn't collect it.
Actually, they're evading taxes by not paying *use* taxes on their online purchases. Which is identical in the rate of, but not the same thing as, sales tax.
Though I'm guessing it was one of the later Apple II versions that I saw first, though maybe I'm mixing up the gun from Sabotage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabotage_(computer_game)) in my mind for a cannon in one of the Artillery games. (I do see also that the Atari 2600 Artillery Duel has visual cannons, but I never owned that, but may have played it elsewhere.)
Lack of belief is NOT agnosticism. Agnosticism is the belief that we don't know(*) whether there is a god or not. If there is an invisible man that floats in the sky that controls the universe, he could make the world exactly as it is now. So I am an agnostic.
I also believe that there is no god, because there is no evidence whatsoever to prove it. So I am an atheist.
(*) or more strongly, that it is impossible to know.
Hulu Plus has commercials, so it is not competition (IMHO).
I am a Netflix DVD only customer, but signed up for Amazon Prime when I got a deal for $20 off the regular Prime rate.. Largely to use the streaming (but I haven't used it yet, will likely use it over my extra long Xmas vacation).
BTW, I'm generally against fracking, but it seems *less bad* than huge oil pipelines and/or buying tons of oil from countries that hate us. That is, to use the (natural) gas in the meantime while building out infrastructure for renewable energy (more people using solar, electric car charging infrastructure).
Plus, we're never going to actually run out of water. It may become very expensive, but there's always the ocean water to desalinate.
That is an incredibly confusing summary, since upon first read, it sounds like Linus REMOVED a patch to remove 386 support (i.e. he reenabled support).
True, but there were some news articles about the Pearl Harbor Day ceremonies this year that had several 90+ year old survivors that attended.
(Unfortunately, in my googling, I can't find reference to the articles I read the other day, and it's not in my history. I did find the one about the guy identifying the dead.)
Only about 1.5 million of the 16 million soldiers who served in World War II are still alive, with nearly 700 of them dying per day, according to the National World War II Museum.
Wow.. You need to replace your keyboard once or twice a year? What pieces of crap! (I sure hope you at least put the old ones in electronics recycling.)
I'm typing this on a Mac Pro on an "Apple Keyboard" (the one that came with the Mac SE, with the control key in the right place), with an ADBUSB converter. (And no, the "Happy Hacker" keyboard is similar, but not as good, and of course, I already have this keyboard.)
Can you link me to it? I think it is now $35/month.
As I said, it's $30 with autopay. Virgin Mobile saves you $5/month on various (maybe all) plans if you set up credit card autopay. I was doing that when I had a prepaid mobile phone, and was down to $5/month overall cost (it charged $15 every 3 months).
Though here's the link I have posted before about even cheaper prepaid plans. I have no idea which if any can be used with an unlocked iPhone. http://www.cellguru.net/prepaid_compare.htm
There was a time, not too long ago, that anybody who graduated high school had all the requisite knowledge and skill to actually do almost any job, even start and run their own business, like Microsoft.
Well, Gates dropped out of college, so he did have some college education.
Plus, do you actually think that Gates or other people who have started businesses without a (completed) college education DID NOT LEARN TONS OF STUFF THEMSELVES?
I think you are implying that people had "all the requisite knowledge and skill to actually do almost any job" directly FROM their high school education.

Yes, but those living there signed contracts to follow the HOA rules, so it IS a form of government, just not the one we typically think of.
"the governing body of a nation, state, or community:"
The community is the set of condos/townhomes covered. The HOA can levy fines or force changes for those who don't follow the rules.
So how is that not a government?

How do you know that the "measurement scale" is accurate?
That's why they are UNANNOUNCED inspections. DUH.
How about "realistically impossible"?
Actually, Mitt Romney did.

You cannot prove a negative.
Since there is no evidence to show that there is a god, the default supposition is that there is no god. So someone needs to provide evidence that there is one.
No they don't, they add up the estimated dates between a bunch of stories in the fairy tales, to come up with the number.

No, I didn't mean Scorched Earth, I'd never heard of it before. I meant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery_game

I was going to *seriously* mention Lunar Lander. And/or one of the zillion cannon games to teach trajectory.

That's all I've got to say..

Nitpicky. ADB (introduced with the Apple IIGS, in late 1986) predates the NeXT Computer by ~2 years (NeXT Computer was introduced in 1988).
NeXT (the company), predates ADB, as the company was founded in 1985.
So then why don't you complain to the author and/or Google (this was downloaded from Google's program store, right?)?

$30/month (with autopay), unlimited messaging & data on Virgin Mobile. That seems to beat it to me.

Irony alert! WOOP WOOP.
I was thinking you said 1995, you didn't. But it's still closer to 11 years than 15.
