That's why you should never argue with a scientologist (and some of the more evangelical charismatic christians). They are so afraid of being made to appear foolish that winning arguments is part of their training and they are _very_ good at it. You can only have a logical discussion with someone if they understand and abide by the rules of logic and philosophy.
And then you get the bands who decide think that "Loud" is the best way to hear their music - Displaying nothing of the musical dynamics that you may hear on their studio recordings.
Cost and convenience. The “proper gear” with expensive cutter heads that suffer from limited use wear and tear - for what, to me, would ultimately be a novelty. . .
The trial and error alone in getting the right "sound" would see many coasters and placemats quickly created.
From the Catholic Encyclopaedia, A wordy, if not insightful resource for understanding many Catholic Positions. Shows us that to the Catholic teaching, ALL sexual conduct outside of marriage is immoral. The church also teaches that those who are homosexual should be encouraged to live chaste lives.
The Church, obedient to the Lord who founded her and gave to her the sacramental life, celebrates the divine plan of the loving and live-giving union of men and women in the sacrament of marriage. It is only in the marital relationship that the use of the sexual faculty can be morally good. A person engaging in homosexual behaviour therefore acts immorally.
It is, in effect, none other than the teaching of Paul the Apostle to the Galatians when he says that the Spirit produces in the lives of the faithful "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control" (5:22) and further (5:24), "You cannot belong to Christ unless you crucify all self-indulgent passions and desires."
....The characteristic concern and good will exhibited by many clergy and religious in their pastoral care for homosexual persons is admirable, and, we hope, will not diminish. Such devoted ministers should have the confidence that they are faithfully following the will of the Lord by encouraging the homosexual person to lead a chaste life and by affirming that person's God-given dignity and worth....
...From this multi-faceted approach there are numerous advantages to be gained, not the least of which is the realization that a homosexual person, as every human being, deeply needs to be nourished at many different levels simultaneously
...The human person, made in the image and likeness of God, can hardly be adequately described by a reductionist reference to his or her sexual orientation. Every one living on the face of the earth has personal problems and difficulties, but challenges to growth, strengths, talents and gifts as well. Today, the Church provides a badly needed context for the care of the human person when she refuses to consider the person as a "heterosexual" or a "homosexual" and insists that every person has a fundamental Identity: the creature of God, and by grace, his child and heir to eternal life
10.4 reminds him slightly more of his old Atari ST (and I quote: "fuck you Amigoids, yuor all going to hell 4ever!!!11")
Your spiel was almost believable up until this. 10.4 may remind him of his ST, but that reminiscence would stir up the envy he had over his neighbours A500+
The market is a big smorgasbord. But if all they're serving is overpriced shit and the service is abusive and degrading, why do you feel the need to remain in your seat and complain about the selection and the help?
Agreed.
I bought a PS3 5 years ago and can see that being my last console purchase unless the "industry" (the Console makers and the Content providers) change and start moving in more positive directions.
The highest intelligence indicator were the users who ignored everything, revealed very little and never "liked" anything - knowing that anything they did on facebook would be mined and used for metrics and marketing.
I am sure that ISPs are purposely throttling their Dial Up to force those remaining onto Broadband. This with the added bloat of many sites (banking included) makes much causal web-browsing more of an exercise in futility than a viable alternative.
I challenge people here to disconnect and dial in, just so that they can reply to this message without ripping their modem out of the wall!
Backwards compatibility I would have thought, helped repeat business. I am sure that removing it from the PS3 created a few Xbox purchases.
PS1 Own a few games PS2 Comes out, backwards Compatible, Buy, Continue to enjoy games and add to library. Remove PS1 console from living roon. PS3 By the time I can afford one, No longer sold with Backwards compaitibility,(although can play PS1 games) Now I need to keep two machines in the living room to continue to play my favourites and the new stuff. . Perhaps I should buy an X-box or Wii. . .
I think that the tablet space is the same as the home computing space in the 80's. You had your C64s, your Amigas, Ataris, Apples, IBMs, Acorns and various other vendors machines. People's choices were not made about the OS, but if the machine met their needs by having the right games, the correct applications, compatibility with work, friends and family etc. People also expected that if they bought a different vendors machine, that they would have a different experience.
If I am half right, then there is room for other vendors to come in with products and be quite successful. . Of course, we didn't have the litigation and patent trolling so bad back then (although I do admit it exsisted)
No more will we be going through people's garbage to find out about them. We will pint out pictures of their faces, wear them as masks and see what they like watching when they are alone.
Hmm its 6 o'clock, I wonder what Natalie Portman would like to watch?

Oh, I had totally forgotten that Kylie Minogue song...
So had I until now! - and no, I am not thanking you.
the recording industries will simply stick their fingers in their ears whilst singing "nanananananana"
I say this like one day it will be cheap. ...As I said, dreams getting closer, not actually realised

Oh we are getting closer to being able to cheaply print vinyl records!
My deam of custom 45s in a classic home jukebox inches closer and closer.

I usually spend my mod points when /. award them to me.
I have no issue with this. If I had to pay for Mods, there is no way I would have ever spent 1.

I would mod you up if I could.. Well said. . .

And I thought Brazil and the United States belonged to the same continent...
Yea, that can happen when you sleep through geography.
Or take Geography at a U.S. school.

How "Off the shelf" are the components going to be, and how long before the clones start being made in mothers basements?
In summary, bad parenting contributes to bad kids. .

So to get full protection, patents should become more vague and theoretical?
In some countries, this stipulation would be against consumer laws I'm sure
Since when did that ever stop them trying to get away with it?
(maybe the EU, also NZ is quite possible)
<political rant> However, in New Zealand, they can probably just get a law change in their favour - Look to Warner Brothers </political rant>
This open us up to a whole new way of stalking!

If you want, I am sure I can make worse. . Although I think it is just safer for everyone reading this that I just shut up now
