That statement is also grammatically incorrect. Again you are denoting possession, but this time you left out the object instead of simply misplacing an apostrophe.
You really ought to have stayed in school.
That denotes a joke. Lighten up, coward, and you'll see that much of life will serve to make you laugh, which is very good for the soul.
Sounds like a classic case of thecooling system needing cleaned.
Or it just plain overheated. A lot of Macs simply can't run at 100% CPU for extended periods of time because the inadequate cooling system just can't handle it.
But it's soooo quiet, thin, and shiny!
I have one of the mid-2011 macs that runs hot. Unless the fanholes get clogged, it functions just fine while hot. It is part of the reason why I'm upgrading soon, as while it's no issue in the winter, in the summer I have to run the office AC harder.
I've had more Windows PC's shut down because of heat - especially HP and Dell.
This post comes to you from my bathroom, where I sit on the toilet....which I've done a lot of this week, thanks to some bad food (Jack Ass tour's in Toronto, thanks).
to bad that data does not show in real time to the meter. When will the clock stop and start and will they look at time that the data was used or the time it hit's the billing system?
This whole thing is hilarious. What it is - is "if you pay us this much, we won't run your data usage against your cap for X amount of time."
Calling it unlimited is just bullshit, and as you note, what happens if you aren't quite finished with a big cownload or upload. Oopsies! You get a tex telling you you blew your data cap.
Instead of human contact, I much prefer removing the lid on my septic tank, and diving in to wallow about in the sludge.
There is something to be said for that - at least the finding of other things besides human interaction that is - I'm no fan of septic swimming.
But although I have huge amounts of interaction with other people every day, I find that it has become increasingly important to get the hell away all by myself in order to recharge my batteries and to just let my mind think. As a person who is all about working problems, too much human interaction becomes mental static.
When the wit gets too acerbic, it's time, and my better half kicks me out of the house for the day, then I come back my old sweet self.
Tim Cook is a either a moron who doesn't know what words mean, or he is trying to spin his company's product direction (or lack thereof) in relation to its competitors with gibberish evasion so ridiculous it would make Donald Trump and Baghdad Bob embarrassed.
Torture them! torture! death! prison! Freedom! America! Nation! I am a progressive liberal. VOTE GREEN FOR MORE WAR! Or vote any other bourgeois party! BUT GREEN IS THE BEST IF YOU WANT GREAT WARS!!!!! You will be at peace with it.
No, as I've said, I haven't read any studies about it.
Well, monchichi, I have. And I have participated in the activities to try to remedy "teh" situation, and I have provided "teh" links with other universities who have had "teh" exact same situation.
I cannot tell you that "all of teh universities" are wrong.
"Teh" is such an effective and clever argument invalidation mechanism, isn't it? I'll make certain to use teh with you since you fixate on it. And teh reason you cannot tell me that all of "teh" Universities are wrong is because it is pretty darn hard to. Teh Universities have experienced teh brunt of teh problem. This is because at one time, 18 year old adults acted like what society defined as adults - with a measure of independence. They do not at this time. The parental units are called in multiple times daily to make those decisions for them. This has led to great difficulties, manifested in an inability for teh young adults to make decisions as young adults should. Beyond eating an all ramen diet so there is enough money for the Natty Light, most actual adult stuff is handled by the parents.
I can't tell if you got really drunk and lost the ability to reason and type, or are just attempting to patronize me by acting like a moron.
Am I drunk? Not hardly. Let's spare the accusations, eh? I'll take the high road for the moment by not making any nasty accusations against you. For teh record, no I wasn't drunk, and my total alcohol consumption per annum is around teh equivalent of a six pack of beer.
Perhaps I am just inherently a moron, its obvious that I am an asshole. But that really is trying to change the argument. I asked for a refutation, you respond with you can't refute it, and that I am probably drunk.
Good work teech! I hope you don't teach logic or debate.
So all of teh Universities are completely wrong? Can you give me the cites that this is so? I can give them to the data so they will know that they have wasted money on a problem that simply does not exist. This is shocking to me, but if you have the research, I can do well by sving a lot of money.
...And you just said, in the post they were replying to, "Does anyone note that the original post I replied to was by mile, so I replied by mile?".
So what do you think the metric is asshole? Furlongs? Day length on Eurpoa? Size of your penis? Everyone who uses th e Airtrall is the safest form of travel uses, miles, just like the cites I gave.
My newest PC is a 5 year old laptop. All run Linux, so there's no need to buy new ones unless I want to edit 1080P video (they do 720 fine). Once you age them to shake out the bad components, they'll last a long time (bottom of the bathtub curve). And I run up to date OSes.
I use Linux on a number of laptops I and my wife have. And they mesh right in with OS X, I can use terminal on each just fine. I'm hoping that Apple brings out a new iMac that will have a little more horsepower, but if not, I'm okay with the slimmer design and less heat generation of the skinny iMacs.
I have one program that I have to run Windows on, as it's a good program, but the producers believe that there is only one operating system, Windows, and get really pissy if you suggest that there is anything else.
Where will the $50 trillion dollars necessary to build it come from?
See, there's actually a difference between saying you're going to do something and actually doing it.
This is nothing new. I've worked with a lot of PhDs.
And you don't read articles either.
Most, if not all, are completely bonkers socially and totally out of touch with reality. They spend so much time in the 'academia' fantasy land hyper-focused on their specialty, that even "stuper-doofus" names like dumb Ass-gardia sounds good to them. What a laugh riot.
Um, interesting. You don't read the article, and fixate on a jeramiad. I've worked mostly with Ph.D's (note spelling) my entire career, and you know what? The pretty much fit a cross section of all people, with the exception of there aren't many stupid ones, and they rend away from activities that stupid people engage in.
And there are a few doofuses, just like regular folk.
The real irony is they indulge in infantilization of those around them, or anyone who disagrees with them, so as not to have to actually deal with their loony tendencies. Assgardia is a (heavily smoked) pipe dream.
Yarbles! A large part of my work with these folk was analysis of their ideas. They were universally grateful when I pointed out fatal flaws.
The only caveat I'd note was that my work tended toward the scientific end of the spectrum, but still worked with a lot of disciiplines. Any assholes got dropped pretty quickly. And asshole distribution isn't any higher among Ph.D's than among the general public.
ahh, the troll, the last resort of the defeated. better luck next time.
Now lets drop the snark for a second, because I want to ask you a serious question.
Immediately after I gave you webpage citations, several of them, and then said "I can give you hundreds more", and the challenge to tell Universities that they are trolling the world with a problem, that you actually thought that I was talking about individual students, and not the Universities that are experiencing the problem that I was giving the links to?
And lest we forget, I answered you in the same vein as you replied, which to the trained eye, looks kinda snarky, but if you declare that trolling, then you were as well. P
So since I've cleared that, is it your opinion that the problem does not exist, and that the Universities are making this up?
In some ways, this is like the remedial classes that are taught at Universities for Algebra, or other ares that placement tests show that a student is deficient in.
The big difference is that the deficiency is held by the parents of the students, who have not learned the final courtesy of parenting - letting your child become an adult. In my University, as the problem presented itself and would not go away, they eventually separated the parents from the students for special parental orientation. And it was much more traumatic for the parents by far. And only partially successful, as 18 years of overprotection doesn't go away just because someone tells you you are interfereing in your adult child's emotional growth.
Another part of the disservice we have done to them is the self esteem movement, a cornerstone of the millenial's education and socialization, has failed and failed badly.
Regardless, the millennials were badly let down, by their parents inability to parent, and by societies belief that if you constantly tell someone they are special and the best, that they will grow up to be special and the best. Neither idea actually worked very well.
Self esteem, that cornerstone of the millenial's upbringing, as it turns out, is earned, not conferred by praising every tiny thing a person does. A young person should not have either high or low self esteem. It is something developed, not inculcated. They should be encouraged and told about what they might be, but not told they have achieved greatness for sharpening a pencil.
And another corrosive element often shared by sports people is that if a person puts their mind to it, they can be anything at all that they want. Nope, nope nope. I can never be a female supermodel, and although athletic, I will never set a record in a marathon. Just won't. Wrong body style. I can wish and try as hard as I can, but I will fail.
And yet, I have very high esteem. It's built on what I have done in life, and my many achievements. All of them earned, and earned well.
Commendable, but rare. Sadly, many people who grow up today come out into reality (after living with helicopter parents for most of their life and "safe space" colleges for the rest) and think the world owes them something for their mere existence.
I'm not saying that this is the normal case (yet... I have that feeling that they get more the older I get), but I do get some applicants that really think the world revolves around them and that I should feel blessed for them to even show up for the interview.
As an example, I allowed my son to play street hockey on the road in front of our house. I suspect I just caused the whiners and helicopters to shit their panties.
I or my wife kept a discrete eye on them, but we let them do their thing, only planning to intervene if afight broke out - which never happened.
Much silly squabbling such as children can do. Usually about "the rules". Much yelling of "car!", whenever a car turned onto the street.
But the squabbles? Kids learning to work out problems and set precedents and play by the rules as set up. And if a rule was dumb, more squabbles to ditch it. They were learning to deal with each others as equals, not dealing with each other as children supervised by adults who would step in at any time to "correct" some imagined inequity.
The cars? Learning to stay alert, with people nowing their duty when a car came. The closest person to the net skated with it off the road since the goalies were too loaded up with equipment to quickly do that.
Learning to act as part of a team without adults constantly getting in teh way, and learning how to accomplish something without an adult praising them because they tied their shoes or something.
And? So let us asume I am wrong, even though we've heard for years that it is th safest form of transportation. Since you took the effort to try to point out something to me, tell me what arameter airline travell is safest by.
Slashdot Mirror
Although illegal, tips are frequently unreported income.
That means effectively 40% more of the value goes to the servicer. When the company does it, it's all reported and taxed.
(And also the thing about tipping for good service, versus tipping across the board.)
Go to a restaurant, and ask the manager about their waitstaff's unreported income.
The do keep track of the tips, and how does a tip not be tracked on a credit card payment?
Been a long time since those 47% freeloaders who wait on us got away with robbing the guvmint of billions to pay for their yachts under the table.
Now its just cigar boats, and vacation homes in MArtha's Vineyard for the perennial takers.
