Why not have a candidate that belongs to a red party and a green party? For president and governor, sure. Much below that, there are just too many elected positions to keep track of individual people's views.
I'd rather go the opposite direction and eliminate specific candidates for some things; you vote for one party for senate, that party gets a proportionally larger vote, and the person who actually shows up is just an employee of the party.
Is there some reason why large companies can't resist the temptation to acquire AOL? First Time Warner's notoriously ill-fated merger
AOL bought Time Warner. AOL has just become a steadily smaller part of the merged company as its subscribers have left.
As others have pointed out, this was a brilliant move on AOL's part, as they got something of real value for their stockholders right before they went into an inevitible decline themselves.
"Far more" is overstating it, but it's one more thing to suppose.
Anyway, *something* just *is*, with no cause that we'll ever discover. Stating that doesn't give us any hints on whether it's God, the universe (with pure change, gravity and natural selection), the universe with a consciousness (pantheism), infinite causation, or time that runs in a loop from big bang to big crunch and back around again.
But this particular analysis is not mentioning the fact that Intel can give you a system, head to toe. That will allow Apple to move the R&D cost of mobo desing to something else, like SW engineering, or industrial design.... go figure...
Ah, the First Cause argument. The obvious rebuttal is to ask where God came from. And, of course, people take that too far, as well, and think that disproves God, when it's really just an unprofitable line of reasoning.
Yes, I think that's fine, too. For one thing, businesses with a pre-existing relationship with you generally have an interest in not annoying you too much.
The charity exemption is what bugs me. They were always the worst telemarketers, even before the Do Not Call list.
The article is gone, but if the businesses that are exempted are those with a pre-existing relationship with you, that would be the same as the American Do Not Call list.
They thought they could fix a 500' levee of MOVING water in 24 hours. I saw a report late Tuesday or early Wednesday that they were going to try to sink a barge into the hole. That might have worked, but I guess it didn't pan out.
Sometime Wednesday, the water level in New Orleans reached that of the lake, but there were still reports of helicopters dropping 15,000 pound sandbags into the break (Chinooks; I guess they only had Blackhawks, earlier). At that point it was too late, and it really was stupid that they were wasting energy on that rather than bringing in food, water, medicine and probably some various medical professionals.
The Post Office could sell envelopes with RFIDs embedded, and then let people sending the mail register the envelope as it was filled, specifying the address. Probably not everyone would use this, but electronic printing and mailing facilities could.
On the other hand, complete PostNet information already specifies the address well enough that it can be processed automatically until it gets to the specific mail carrier's truck. There may not be any room for improvement.
It would be nice, though, if the jobs being cut weren't the ones that can only be done in this country. I'm all for improving efficiency, but this will also raise the proportion of exported work.
I don't think that means it shouldn't be done, but it's an unfortunate side-effect.
I was impressed that the AC actually managed to take that quote and use it topically. And then I was appalled that none of the other commenters recognized it.

There's a joke in here somewhere about bisexuality being cross-platform...
Having the Windows keu bindings on by default for Windows binaries would be a big help, too.
I would think nVidia would be Asus's concern.

Apple could always just hire Asus, too.
Did you read any of the comments above you? Nearly all of the Slashdotters commenting seem to agree that the article is dumb.
Unless you're on DirecTivo, where the monthly fee is only $5, you're paying that bil, anyway, and there's no lifetime subscription, anyway.
The optical cable should have a higher bandwidth, but CD audio is only about 1.4 Mbps, so I doubt the electrical connection's bandwidth is a factor.

Florida voted republican.
Maybe...
Yes, it's funny. I think what you're parodying is Franklin, though.

You get that option when you install Acrobat (not the reader).

RFID is 96 bits, so the ID number tracks the specific item, not just the type.

India's pretty big. If they have three time zones, covering 12 hours on 9-6 shifts would be feasible.

If Japan were to Annex the Pacific Ocean
They tried that once. It didn't work out.
That's too slow. You wouldn't even know it was the apple surprise that did it.
