as has been mentioned, micro-usb is rated for 10,000 cycles.
if the product had the usb standard logo and the tab breaks within, say, 10 years, you were sold defective crap and should return it and/or get it fixed for free.
racists actually taught me a lot. the more coherent racists generally take a political stance about "white solidarity" (or black, jewish, &c.).
now, bear with me a second: part of what makes politics confusing, is that there are sophisticated ideologies trying to make sense of the unknown (i.e. predict effects of policy). on the other hand, politics is also about group identity and community.
racists are an interesting case, since they have very strong views which are almost exclusively about group identity. they're like drosophila for studying ideology. now, having studied racists fairly thoroughly, i can look at political discussions and say, for example, "oh, this looks a lot like a forum on stormfront, just replace [communist] with [jew]." this tells me something about the discussants and suggests maybe i shouldn't take what they're saying too seriously, and i should look for other discussions.
also, by the way, i've met some racists, although admittedly very few, who are quite intelligent and successful.
yeah, a leatherman might be very confused indeed...:)
also, it just occurred to me that outside of a liberal sex-positive culture, that the victim was wearing a "flirt with me" hankie might be used as an excuse/defense for a harasser/rapist, a la the "she was dressed provocatively" tactic.
the article says that the remote wipe is reversible with a four-digit pin made up at the time of deletion.
which leads me to wonder why apple couldn't just reverse it for the guy once he apprised a real human being of the situation. given the lack of sophistication everywhere else in this scheme, i seriously doubt that the four-digit pin is really used to encrypt your data. it must just be for authentication, so why couldn't this guy get apple to unwipe his drive?
but these now-immobilized people might vote for public transit. that would be catastrophic. we'd better revoke their voter registration at the same time.
you've forgotten the unspoken second rule of american libertarianism: for anyone other than the Heroic Job Creators, anything other than passive consumption is tantamount to coercion.
this particular thing you can learn just by using a bicycle pump (and if you're still not convinced, compare it to rubbing a piece of rubber against an aluminum pipe).
neither; we're talking about fluoride and fluorine. i dunno how you ionized milled wheat.
back on topic: you can overdose on fluoride which causes all sorts of bad things. the therapeutic dose is close to the fluorosis dose, so the recommended levels of fluoride have been reduced over the past few decades. i wouldn't really be surprised if there were some serious problems with the original dosage in some areas, from whence all of these conspiracy theories...
no, this guy was old-school and didn't give much of a crap what anyone thought of him. he just sold what he thought was interesting or useful to artists.
after a long while, i've come to agree. small stores that are worth going to for whatever reason (friendliness; reliability; or even just an interesting gimmick) tend to make it, though not always. the reason so few do, is that they really have nothing going for them.
on the other hand, i went to an art and art supply store and after i complained about the price of his poster hooks, he showed me the books; he was paying more, wholesale, than wal*mart was charging retail. that was an amazing insight into economies of scale. he still made it by reputation and selling a diverse array of weird stuff (e.g. tubs of dmso; essential oils; and vintage softcore pornography).

x over ssh sucks. i don't care if it's more elegant in principle; the latency is horrible. vnc at least runs in real time.
(sigh)
no. that's not what i meant.

seems like this would be a pretty straight-forward solution and cut down on everyone's confusion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handkerchief_code
admittedly you'd need to adapt it a bit; take out the fetishes and replace them with levels of acceptable social contact.
as long as there is real liability on the militia, and no bullshit corporate veil, this isn't entirely unreasonable.
as for the treaties, some folks would disagree about their relevance: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig11/swann1.1.1.html
oh, you're so wrong.
about the latter part, i mean: it definitely could have appeared anyway.
and his translator(s?) certainly deserve a supporting credit. i'm sure they're not perfect, but i'm also sure it was a heroic struggle.
yeah, but being over-the-top about it was the only original part of her work, and definitely the source of her popularity, so what would you expect?
i would think that shockwave rider would be popular among slashdot-types, despite being a bit cheesy and dated.
well, that's still no excuse to not use time machine.

well, i'm sold. thanks!
sure... but the neutrino will still take at least ~40ms to cross the earth.
it's not a difference between 0.3ms and ~0ms, it's the difference between 40 and 40.3.
so 100km of fiber optic and then bridge over to neutrino.

my friend worked at a mini-golf course which unofficially offered occasional free games for friends of employees.
my second time, i showed up to claim it without shoes and played my round. my friend was promptly fired the next day for my bare feet.
this was at a fucking mini-golf course in hick-ville. i would be extremely cautious about being barefoot at work for any reason.

well, yeah, since you live in an extremely affluent area of chicago, that's all you're going to see. ;-)
now, he very well might! he didn't even know wal*mart sold them until i complained about it.
