yeah, i wanted android, and i guess that's what i got. hmm. the paylo plan has its advantages, but the high-end plan costs about as much as my standard plan except with more minutes (which i don't need), and the low-end plans charge per mb, which is something i don't want to bother worrying about.
strongly agree. i have the $35/mo. virgin mobile plan and i certainly can't complain for the price. here's a hint though: for the love of god, don't buy the motorola triumph like i did. although its features are strong on paper, the software is a pile of shit, even for android. foremost: the media volume occasionally attenuates for no apparent reason, and the android soft buttons will frequently stop working until you lock/unlock the screen. i won't even bother listing the bugs here; it would take too long. just google for "motorola triumph flaws" or similar. get the lg instead.
to put this into perspective, an entire inhaler of this stuff (300 mg) contains less caffeine than a 20 oz. ("venti") drip coffee from starbucks (~400 mg). this proves both that it is safe, and a rip-off.
not to mention it's incredibly expensive. i computed it once, iirc it's about 100x as expensive as no-name caffeine pills, and 200x more expensive than bulk anhydrous powder. about its only upside would be that it's maybe harder to overdose, if the effects are actually immediate (which i'm not sure about).
i can only imagine that this is due to some drug war-stigma against pills. maybe it's for women; studies have shown that women prefer to insufflate their drugs.
also, there's a big trend toward more computer literacy in journalism. believe me, they've gotten the memo. more power to them, it can only improve things.
well, yes, it does. the popular sentiment evoked by this story is opposed to government, not bureaucracies in general. libertarianism won't fix the latter and could easily make it worse.
so that non-programmers can script up their concept without even the cognitive overhead of java. processing is intended for use by journalists, biologists, &c... and it is, to great effect.
yeah, unless it autodetects multiple displays (which it ought to, like keynote does, but i doubt it), i think you're fucked. keep the old installer around.
you must have never used the playlist. it used to be a separate window, which was annoying. now it comes up over the video if you click the icon (bottom left) or press shift-cmd-p.
unfortunately it doesn't get keyboard focus automatically. i hope they fix that. it's almost there.
is that how you do it? i've been modding up flamebaits, trolls, goatses, and racists for a while now (i find this much more entertaining), to no avail. ah well. i'll keep on truckin', and slashdot will reap what it sows.
we offer a full line of consumer and professional electronics, athletic apparel, and soy products, all officially certified by the retchdog institute for unicorns and sunshine to be completely free of whatever it is you find objectionable. our modest markup of 1200% is necessary to ensure that only the finest managers, assistant managers, and assistants to assistant managers are hired from a competitive field of my friends and extended family.
what would "the equilibrium price" be defined as anyway, and how would it differ from monopolistic pricing? i say this because in practice, there is an equilibrium already; piracy is an option, and similar artists/single tracks/whatever are a lower-value option.
it's also not clear where Amnesia: The Dark Descent would end up. you can ignore the storyline completely and still have a very good game (especially good when you consider that, mechanically, it's actually just a bunch of fetch quests and easy puzzles). the storyline, nonetheless, is quite compelling if you bother with it, and it is actually pretty hard to ignore completely.

i thought rosebud was a brand of frozen peas.

they don't drop the price automatically. some people are grandfathered into the $25/mo. plan, but i don't think you can get there anymore.

well, eventually you have to come down from amphetamine. it's not pleasant...
now, modafinil/provigil, that's a different story, but good luck buying that at a trailer park.

no one is going to die from this.
well, no, not from a dispenser. i think the point is that you have plausible cover that it's an asthma inhaler or something.
or they could crush caffeine pills, which is even easier and hasn't been a problem.

you know, i considered putting economists in that list too, and decided against it for that very reason. ;-)
really? based on those requirements, i think origami would be a bit much for him.

if it really does deliver a bunch of base pairs in a row, can't you just match on the flanking sequences on dbSNP or whatever?
lol wut?

it's basically the same except the icon is a bit to the left. i really don't know what Kenja is talking about.

good. that means you have a soul.

is he one of those commies like fdr? every president prior to the fortieth was a fucking commie... and most of them after!
