Two anecdotes (youtube videos) spring to mind: - One lady, taking matters into her own hands, went to the airport dressed only in a bikini. She was waved through with no scan, no patdown. - One gentleman was stopped by security and patted down. During the patdown, the actions of the agent caused his trousers to fall so his underwear was exposed. He was arrested for indecent exposure.
So a woman wearing what is practically underwear is waved through, but a man in a jumper and trousers who has the latter pulled down by an agent is arrested for indecent exposure, despite being far more clothed than the woman.
Large scale is very dumb. Make 25KW units and put thousands of them across the city. Cheaper, easier, and reliability of the grid goes up dramatically.
"Ye wanna put a nuculer bomb in my back yard?!" says the city-dweller. Good luck explaining the difference to a lay man.
You obviously don't use a word processor often enough. All of those functions have keyboard shortcuts; Reaching up to the menu bar to make a bold, centre-aligned title and then saving it is *far* faster on the keyboard (Ctrl+ Shift + Arrows to highlight, Ctrl + B, Ctrl + E, Ctrl + Shift + S). Or, stop being a luddite and set up Styles.
IMO the menu bar is for seldom used functions. I don't often have to insert a table, or change the background colour, so those go on the menu bar. For everything else there's Mastercard^Wkeyboard shortcuts
I can see your point, but I must disagree. I've worked in a bar too, and while it was my place of work, I was expected to be sociable. Fixing printers, however, I was expected to FIX IT NOW YOU'RE COSTING ME MONEY I HAVE IMPORTANT WORK TO DO.
I should have pointed out that these weren't desktop laser or inkjets, these were professional wide-format plotters, where a failure cost more per minute than I made per hour.
In my opinion the biggest issue with those type of jobs (Fixing other people's stuff) is that it is utterly lonely. I worked as a printer engineer for 6 months, and during that time had nobody to talk to all day long. All you get is "This is broken. Fix it." or if you're lucky you'll get offered a coffee. Worse is that everyone around you has workplace banter, water-cooler chat, even talking about work over the cubicle wall, any human interaction, while you're there with your face in a printer / washing machine / A/C unit, looked upon like a Health and Safety hazard at best.
It takes a special kind of personality to work by yourself day in, day out, with never a familiar face to greet you. I can't do it.
No, that doesn't, but acting like the issue is settled and done with does. Pick something less controversial and more agreed on next time. There are plenty of examples you could have used to support your point which are not politically charged topics.
In other words, play it safe - use gay marriage as your example next time.
What's wrong with euthanasia, eugenics, or stem cell research?
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In the coming years, we should find more content available to more people in massive libraries like both of these services for *very affordable* subscriptions.
FTFY; You highlighted the wrong word. I have no interest in *renting* the media I pay for; I either own it, and can play it whenever, wherever I want, or their business model can DIAF. They are not taking my money and running when they decide the service isn't profitable enough.
I can *buy* books, games, music for pennies, just not from big media, and that's what I do, and a bigger chunk of it goes to the author / artist per purchase. Fuck big media. Fuck it until it dies.
I moved my OS partition from spinning platter to SSD about 2 months ago, and without a word of a lie, it takes longer to POST than boot the OS. It's gone from "Hit power, go make coffee" to "Hit power, move mail off mouse pad, log in and work." Anyone who comes to me asking for a recommended upgrade gets "Buy an SSD." and none have been disappointed, even those who bought the cheapest one they could get.
Does it cover data loss? Will it pay your medical bills if you get a brain tumour?
I don't understand why you would insure a disposable commodity. It's like insuring your toaster, or your shoes. Embrace your inner klutz and buy a cheaper phone.
IBS / celiacs disease is difficult to confirm clinically. Submit "evidence" if they think you're faking. Watch them backflip when you suggest they are dismissing an employee for having a disability.
Ha! Piracy is the biggest problem for the games industry... Try indie titles offering genuinely novel game play and replayability for 1/5 the price of AAA-list shooters-on-rails with SUPERDX9001EXPLOSIO-CENTRIC-ALIASOTROPICFILTERINGx2!!!11 graphics. Furthermore, these run on even basic current hardware (i3 with Intel HD 2000 graphics? No problem on your 1440x900 laptop screen!)
When the gaming industry starts publishing something new and interesting, I'll pay attention. Until then, my money will go to indie companies. That's triple-digits per year that big publishers are losing out on from just one gamer, and I know I'm not the only one. Even if I only play an indie title for a couple of hours, that's £3 per hour. Other than books and sex, I can't think of anything else which costs less and can entertain you for that length of time.
If there was such a thing as a black, female superhero then we could have had the entire set, but given that female superheros must show 90% skin then it is obvious why there are no black ones. They would use up too much ink!
Ororo Monroe (Storm) from the X-Men comics was a black woman.

To be fair to the authorities, they did mandate that cockpit doors be reinforced and locked from the inside.
That was all that was needed to prevent the WTC attack.

Your country is all kinds of messed up.

You can just fly on up to the sun and pick up some fusion material in a scoop. You won't get burned, because it's night time!
Why does that cartoon have such an emotive effect on us?
Because, in our childhood, we saw this. And wept.
Don't forget the cabin boy called Roger.

You've obviously not read Snow Crash.

The correct adjective is "twit". HTH.
