The problem is that 'they' don't care about anything beyond next quarter's results.
'They' certainly don't care about your "faggy pinko" (words I'm inserting into 'their' mouths, not mine) concerns like the environment. Someone else will figure it out.
I figured, given the kind of language and methodology they teach the worker drones at the Apple stores per that leaked document that came out a while ago, that it was just a matter of making iPhones look bad, so they disallowed it.
Heh. That's not radiation! Those are "Genius Waves" being broadcasted directly to you from God-Emperor Jobs interred in Holy Cupertino on the golden throne!
My first level Calc class in college was with a professor whose long "o"s sounded like "u"s, and as a result, he loved to tell us to "fuckus" on particular things.
In retrospect, the fact that I remember that, but suck at Calculus, is probably an indicator that I should have considered a different professor for it.
The nice (and originally intended) function of the case is that it is also a case, and so when I accidentally spike my tablet into the ground, there's a reasonable chance it survives.
Even your stand is more of a hack than those presented in the arti... uh, blog post.
Low tech hack (in my mind) is splicing a cable to change pinout for an AC adaptor or something. This is a strange blend of the least appealing aspects of consumer gadgetism and Steal this Book aesthetics.
I got sick of scooping dog food for my puppy out of the bag with my hand, so I grabbed a plastic cup and started using that instead. I call it the "puppy food cup".
Sorry to "cool story bro" you, but that stuff is kind of weak. "Buying a new battery", "overcomplicated solution to replicate this. (note the standing function. Works great for me while in bed.)", and "I just bought college dorm room furniture" don't really qualify as hacks. Unless the slippers I bought this weekend qualify as a "temperature hack for keeping my feet warm."
I don't know about that (though it could just be my gag reflex talking).
I follow this because I'm interested in the service and would like to see it actually survive, and also because it feels a lot like the plot to Cryptonomicon in real-life, minus constantly talking about how awesome one time pads are. The fact that Dotcom's name is attached to it is coincidental, at least, for me.
Oh, another difference: Psychotic lawyers are yet to appear in the real life version, though there has been some heavy foreshadowing in that direction.
That's fine too. I have karma to burn and I'm still too angry about this to care.
I mean, seriously, the guy had promise and vision. I don't consider myself a depressed person, but I'd probably off myself too if JSTOR fucked me in a federal court and then rubbed salt in the wound by giving away for free everything they fucked me over for.
You... you realize you didn't actually "go off" on any of those people, right?. You just itemized them and then said that you could go off on them (again). Heroin addicts were the only ones you actually expounded upon.
Frankly, I would not be surprised if you have not encountered a single person who has used (let alone been addicted) to any of the drugs you mention.
School is not optional, but state-run school is (or at least used to be). I know it's not for a lot of people for various reasons, but is home-schooling a legal option in Texas?
That's another technical solution to the societal problem they're generating by trying to create a technical solution to the perceived societal solution that children need better monitoring and control placed upon them.
In other words, it won't fix the underlying issue that when you won't scan they just issue you another badge. You'll only be able to trash so many of them before something starts getting huffy.

Christ, that's beautiful. I am forwarding that on to all my Star Wars fanboy friends.
Approximately 48% continually votes for a douchbag with a moneypoisoning for president. It's the one issue the political parties come together upon.

Second edge case: Buckyballs.
I'll let someone else provide the third.

Yeah, but then you're reading Warhammer 40k books. There were a couple gems, but for the most part, prime-time sitcoms have deeper plot.
Can't speak for the Forgotten Realms stuff. I was never in to that.
You mean "fat chicks", or the "right people"?

Oh, other reason to care: Free 50gb storage.

Not anymore.

Fantastic fucking idea. You know what would have made it better? If it never was a felony to begin with.
Don't mod this up. Common sense doesn't need moderation points. I'm venting.
DHS does remind me of the mother from The Wall..
Presumption on the last part was based upon the fact that he had nothing of value to say beyond "deez guise: lol".

That kind of cheapens Apartheid, doesn't it?
Also, Old Republic is still around?

I prefer "toots", "hun", or "sugartits". That way you're not, like, objectifying me, or something.
