Well they are proposing that the collisions DON'T actually happen, and as there is no way of measuring them, we don't know. All we know is that the conditions EXIST for these collisions to happen all over the universe, or atmosphere, or wherever.
1. So you use the 'Guest' account to surf Pr0n.
2. Panic and hold down the power because your mom is knocking at the door (I would have used girlfirend but that wouldn't really happen here).
3. Then you power on, and log into your Admin account. Claiming you need to do some computer work.
4. Then you lose all your data! While also sexually frustrated.
5. ???
6. Profit
You can PROVE that there will be EXACTLY THE SAME NUMBER of Mac+Win households as Win+Mac households. And given a 90/10 or marketshare that the precentage of Mac+Win will be EXACTLY 9 times greater than the percentage of Win+Mac households!
Now the second computer thing. That is probably more to economic demographics. You would probably see that the number of computers per household where one Computer cost >$1000 to be really similar.
Pretty much. Consumers do not want 'targeted ads'; consumers are more likely to buy productst in targeted ads. The targeted is for the advertizer not the consumer.
Yes and I actually did this. I am so ANTI-COMCAST that I went 2 years with crappy ATT DSL, and NO cable TV.
And in a month I will be living on a street with 2 competing Cable providers!!!!! So I can hopefully haggle one down to about 50% normal rates and pay an acceptable amount.
And I will spout my discount as PROOF of monopolistic, and price fixing tactics on NO COMPETITION cable providers.
Yeah but you can put up a dish no matter what your apartment manager says. You can put up the biggest most unsightly satelite dish (on TV antenna) despite the most aggressive HOA. You are protected by the FEDS!
+1 for Atlanta having idiots driving. But you also don't have do deal with the 30mph Town Car of Doom that everyone in Florida has to deal with.The only time I have almost been at fault in a serious accident (over 5mph) was when driving 80 (in a 70) on I75 from Tampa to Sarasota, mid day on a weekday, empty interstate and almost rear ended some 90 year olds going ~35mph in the left (of 3) lanes. I saw them way out in front, and took a bite or changed the radio or something. Next thing i knew I was panic swerving into the middle lane to avoid a rear end collision.
But that was off topic. Really why does 'holding' a phone cause accidents? It doesn't your blue tooth is probably more dangerous because the sound quality goes to crap and you have to focus harder to decphier what the other person has said.
Don't talk and Drive! Don't text and drive! Don't read the newspaper and drive! You should DRIVE!
NO. That locked propritary box is MINE. Not Microsoft's, not Googles, MINE. I don't have to trust Microsoft one bit, unless Microsoft puts spyware into its product.
Google's 'robots' look at my data. Google's robots designed for specific advertizers look at my data. And I am sure that Google sends its 'partners' "anonymous" information based on my documents. And there is no way I can even really say Google doesn't look at my stuff, IT IS WHAT THEY DO! Someone looks at what the 'robots' pick up eventually.
I'll give you the seen by advertisements doesn't really make sense. I mean Google's 'partners' get to see 'anonomized' data coming from my documents, and you have no idea how much that is.
Google makes money by reading peoples stuff. To compensate you for that they hold it for free. Why would you trust them not to? At least Microsoft makes it money by raping you on software prices. You can trust them MORE to not read your stuff, as they can still make money other ways.
I highly doubt Google deletes your stuff when you remove it. I bet they keep it around till they have a chance to look it over. And there is no way to know if they ever get rid of your/their data.
And well I am not talking super duper trade secrets. But stuff you don't want people finding out. Like how much you wasted on x project that never got going. Stuff that ends up in email, but you would rather not have people see.
Well your data may be liberated, but it is also scanned over by google and their servers. I would probably rather have my data in a propritery locked box, than seen by random people and advertisments sent to me.
Or you can do all of those things, and have a single reboot.
And I do use Ubuntu, but installing that is way harder. Install -- Video is all fucked up -- use windows computer to find information on installing a 3DFX Voodoo3 card -- and changing VESA drivers. Because my installed display is competly UNUSABLE. I also had problems getting 1920x1200 display working when I first got my monitor. I think this works out of the box for Ubuntu now though.
That shit is so much easier than installing windows!
OK so installing Ubuntu is actually pretty easy, but I almost ALWAYS have display problems (for whatever reason). Granted I have also had a problem putting WinServer2003 on my old P4 Dell, with NIC drivers. Which soluton was -- use Ubuntu computer to find Dell driver -- install and reboot. But that was a bit quicker than my display problems.
But really who the fuck cares it takes a few reboots during an OS install. You do that at MOST twice a YEAR.
Yes it carries freight. Just not as much as... oh you didn't specify how much.
Just because it normally carries peopel and luggage, why can it not carry freight??
TGV rail currently allows for the carrying of freight, but not currently at passenger speeds. This is only because it isn't really worth the energy to move freight that fast. It is NOT because it can't be done.
There is a reason we already use ships to move freight. Even when it could be done via Airplane!
I am in the same boat. I have never really used any of the features in Word until 2007 and the ribbions. I now use many more formatting features and things tend to be faster. Sure there is a learning curve but it really isn't that bad as long as your attitude isn't I HATE THIS RIBBON.
No Excel is 100% different. I was extreemly good, and used a large number of the features already. 2007 slows me down a bit because I don't know where everything is. And well I am not finding any new features. But I only really get irritated when formatting cell borders. As it seems to me to take much longer (2-3 extra clicks) to get it done, and one of the few thirgs I do with the mouse.
Sorry for typos I wrote half of each paragraph blind as slashdot is lagging like a bitch.

Yeah if you paid FL income tax you sure were being ripped off.
FL, TX, AK, NH, TN, SD, WA, NV, WY, all have NO STATE INCOME TAX.

That is why I shop at Publix!

I wondered this too. I would imagine the America's Cup boats would have this already, as cost seems to not be a concern.
Yeah but google gets to read it after you extract it. I would rather have my company trade secrets in my company.
