no, he is saying that all consumer grade electronic gadgets probably have the same level of radiation resistance, regardless of build quality, software, etc.
get a proper job, then. nobody is forcing you and your band to live on music alone. for example, let us say i set up a business of selling high quality buggy whips. but for some reason, nobody is buying. instead of signing a stupid contract with a distributor i have the option of getting into another business: like selling nuts and screws.
a cell phone purchase is something very insignificant compared to a car purchase, or a house purchase, or a fucking contract about your job. if somebody does not give me time to read the contract which states what i'll get paid for my work, to hell with that contract. if musicians are that stupid, they deserve what's happening to them.
Perhaps, but many times these bands are just so ready to sign to a major label, they'll sign whatever heaps of fine print the label puts in front of them. Do you always read through everything you sign?
you don't? you must. i read every page letter-by-letter when i sign on something. if someone gets fucked due to not reading the fucking contract they sign, i'm glad.
actually, historically all sorts of artists (musicians, dancers, painters, actors) have live in penury. for some time, they got supported by a king or lord, but most of the time it was a life of poverty. when i think about it, i cannot find any reason for michael bay, lady gaga, etc to have the kind of money they have. its a nice thing they're doing but you don't deserve to be rolling in millions. i welcome this trend of a music career becoming 'practically impossible', if it exists.
why is any computer holding the voting db even online? why do you need internet access? what is the problem with using an offline db and syncing the voting machines or something?
i am an indian, i live here and still i hesitate before calling tech support. the problem is that support people assume that i'm completely clueless. another reason is that some companies' call center people (eg, vodafone) speak only scripted lines, the conversation is never natural and gets awkward when i ask a question that is not on their database. however, some companies do it properly and their support is really helpful. for eg, when i call up the telephone/adsl help center, they give me a choice 'press 1 for issues related to your telephone line' and 'press 2 for issues related to adsl'. if you choose adsl, you directly get to a person who actually knows something about how adsl modems work and can figure out problems. even if the guy is not able to solve my problem on the phone, he sends a person to my home within 1-2 hrs who WILL solve the problem. so, imo the problem is that most companies choose their call centers based only on cost, disregarding quality.
True, everyone who uses drugs ends up whoring themselves out. For instance, our last three presidents were all admitted drug users. We can't let that happen to our kids!
clinton- had sex in the white house and lied about it. bush- started meaningless wars and brought on the global economic recession. obama- is adamant on shutting down nasa and all other scientific endeavors.
yes, i have tried ghostery. and it works very efficiently, blocks almost all tracking elements. but it is a pain to use. ie9's thingie does not need any user input at all.
i think it might have to do something with those ugly little '+1' buttons sprouting up all over the place. interestingly, ie9's tracking protection feature automatically blocks +1 buttons and fb like buttons too. i would like to see this feature built-in in a future firefox so that i can actually use it.
The other issue is that when kids are young they don't think/realize that when they post pictures of them and their friends drinking under age, smoking pot or other illegal activities it's out there and anyone can find it. All it takes is for them to just be caught/tagged in a picture with others doing it and they're up the creek.
if your kids are doing illegal activities, they deserve to get caught. how can you defend a kid smoking pot? i'll be happy if google runs their image analysis on every photo posted and automatically reports it to the police if it sees someone smoking illegal drugs, or drinking underage, along with gps info so cops can teach them a lesson. seriously, however cool it is to do drugs, it is still very harmful to you. and we should be trying to prevent kids from falling into the vicious cycle of drugs>poverty>prostitution>drugs and so on.
the us is behaving like a person who is running a wildly successful scam on everyone and just wants to grab as much much money as they can before the whole thing collapses, future long-term benefit be dammed.

in the video, the guy actually says, "i thought i invented this but then i found out that this tech is >100 yrs old".
you don't get INTO it.
thinkpads have been used in the space shuttle for years, iirc. they didn't need to be hardened or anything. phones should be fine, too.

then they should keep music as a hobby and do something else for their living. nobody's forcing you to give up everything for a career in music.
The problem is that - as a robber today - you can't make money out of what you love. And you should.

no, it is not easily solved. you are forgetting the ONE reason for outsourcing: cost.

this is just plain bullshit!
google stood up to the chinese government, and left the chinese market rather than censor their search results.
except one: google search. almost everything else has a decent alternative.
