Apple has been patenting things for a long time. If they look really hard, I suspect they will find hundreds of patents that Nokia is using without compensation.
Now all the local hacker has to do is get a shirt with the same stupid embroidery on it and they have proof the belong to the help desk and can carry large desktop computers out the door.!
If they don't buy polyester crap shirts (cotton is nice), they look half-way decent, only have a little embroidery on them, not some big corporate logo on the back, pay for the damn things and provide either a laundry service or a laundry allowance to cover care of the uniform, it wouldn't completely suck. Saves you from having to shop for clothes to wear. If they are talking about buying little electric black and white VW beetles for you to ride from cubicle to cubicle, scream bloody murder!
Get together with the other programmers and plan with them to send emails to your boss each time anyone is particularly loud and distracting. Something along the lines of: "x is being loud and is distracting me from my work. Please ask them to keep the volume down. Thanks" If he gets 30 or 40 emails a day for a month, maybe he will reconsider.
So, how exactly to you OPT-OUT? I've been searching the google settings for my account and can't find anything that allows me to opt out of customized search results.
You would think that, having been born in this country and living here for 53 years I would get a football reference, but noooooo. Baseball maybe, but I've never paid much attention to football. Go figure.:)
Although I haven't done the research, it seems unlikely that the power supply would be maxed out by running the process. Usually there is some excess capacity engineered in and the video system will have shut down and disk access should be low, so it is really just processor and memory power with a little disk and network activity.
Also it seems unlikely that all of the computers are left turned on 24 hrs a day 365 days a year. If they are, that is responsibility of the school system management. Most people I know turn off their PCs at when they are done using them for the day.
Only 5000 machines and they want to pay $1000000 to uninstall the software. Good grief, I'll do it for 3/4ths of that, maybe even a half! Hell, I'll even pay my on airfare!
Even purchased in quantity from Chinese manufacturers using prison labor, a 9 or 10 inch display panel would be more than $10 by itself. I'd guess over 20. I mean, you have to pay off the local officials and the prison officials, provide some profit to the corporation, there's the overhead for the factory, proper disposal of toxic waste, no wait, forget the last one. Oh there are the actual materials, can't forget those. If OLPC couldn't keep their costs down below $100, I don't see a netbook coming in under that. Maybe closer to $150 with shipping and everything.
Maybe if Google would simply remove all references to anything Murdoch from the search engine, then all of the Murdoch sites would simply dry up and blow away.
Not seeing a relationship between your remarks and the news item in question, but I feel compelled to ask the questions: If your debt is in US $, aren't you also earning US $ to pay this debt off? How then are you ahead when the US $ is weak?
I'm sorry, but this screws in the end plate are not wood screws. I work with wood on a regular basis and spent over a decade as a manufacturing engineer in electronics manufacturing. These screws are common assembly screws in electronics, not furniture. It is also common to leave off components on proto, demo or even production PCAs. Many circuits are designed to be partially populated using a single board with various levels of features. As far as "First Silicon" is concerned, if a chip is working to spec, there is no reason not to use it. While this may not be a production board (I have no way of knowing), it could be a working prototype. I'm beginning to think the writer is a bit of a drama queen.
Barring complete enclosure of the crops, there is no chance that cross pollination will not take place. Since the modified plant is the interloper it should be incumbent on the farmer planting the modified plants to contain the pollination in such a way that the pollinating insects are not allowed to carry pollen to adjacent fields from the modified plants.
You just have to stop every 1000 meters and install a repeater. Probably require some form of solar or wind power system with storage where a local power outlet is not available.
I use a heart monitor strap when at the gym to use on treadmills and elliptical machines to maximize the workout. All it does is transmit the heart rate to machine. They are not bright enough to capture anomalies in the heart beat unless the have advanced a great deal in the last year.
I don't know why you would be rude to me when I was agreeing that they were annoying in a bold and italicized way. You didn't provide a similar response to the person who actually disagreed with the point. What gives. Are you a different Anonymous Coward who _actually_ likes emphasizing words by inserting preceding and trailing underscores and not the Anonymous Coward who posted the original statement about their displeasure at seeing the leading and trailing underscores used for emphasis? Maybe you were the annoying person who was using leading and trailing underscores for emphasis in the first place, now pretending to be an Anonymous Coward to confuse the issue.
Could you please include a "Quote" from the original post or at lease make the full statement (something like: in 20 years 100% of private commuter vehicles will be electric).
I had to scroll up something like 30 posts to find the parent because I thought it would only be a post or two, but it wasn't and the "parent" button was already off screen when I realized my mistake, so if you had just included a little extra text it would have been great.

The description of the payouts sounds so much like Amway, I almost ran screaming from the room and torched my computer.

I'm sorry, I'm not getting the reference. Right over my head. Completely clueless! Some context to the comment maybe? Three what?
Just tried to connect and get a timeout error

I very much want a copy of that cook book! Oh, and the kitchen to go with it.

As long as they grow them in sealed greenhouses that do not allow for cross pollination with the plants I want to actually eat!
I had a Dr. Strangelove moment reading this headline as well. Very scary. Time to get the DVD out again.
Oops, It's been a few years since I had to deal with that.

Always ready to find a proper use for a Caravan, the folks at Top Gear posted this.
