My guess is some of them are worried about being caught in a lie, some of them are having their pride hurt (not sure why), and some of them just don't have the time to waste on taking a test for a job they might not even get.
That's not the argument, just a counterexample to the idiotic notion that the US is the modern inventor of greed. It's the way people from other countries smugly feel free to overlook their own faults. What country are you in anyway?
in the US the basic rule seems to be Gordon Gekko's slogan "Greed is good", anything goes as long as you're being greedy.
While in the rest of the world people get by with love and sharing? Greed is not a US problem. In fact, as badly as corporations do here they tend to be a lot worse elsewhere. Look at the China milk scandal.
But the use of a duck call to advertise them is not really that generic; I don't think I would have thought of it. It's not a surprising "that is brilliant" idea, but it doesn't just spring to mind when you're thinking of operating duck tours. It's a trademark, it's not supposed to protect some new, non-obvious innovation, it's just supposed to let people protect some aspect of their image that they've developed value in through the course of their business.
The statistics are in the number of base pairs and the amount of time since common ancestor, not the number of people. So we know that in that lineage, mutations occur at a given rate which I'm too lazy to calculate.
But it's restricted to two people, or not even that, it could be just one different ancestor. Maybe one's grandfather was exposed to radiation, or mutagenic chemicals.
I would argue that the duck quack is a generic sound, used by hunters for hundreds of years.
But I would argue that using one to make 'a quacking noise made by tour guides and tour participants by use of duck call devices throughout various portions of [guided amphibious vehicle] tours" is about as non-generic as you can get.
In Microsoft's defense (dangerous here I know) the vast majority of Vista problems HAVE been resolved months if not years ago. Further, most of those were hardware issues (nVidia..) and sloppy programming of other programs and thus NOT Microsofts fault. The single biggest obstacle it faces now are uninformed customers who heard "their computer guy" tell them two years ago that vista = evil and now refuse to listen to anything otherwise.
The single biggest obstacle with Vista is the same as it was when Vista came out: the ludicrously horrible performance. It hasn't been fixed. Wish it was. It would be nice to not have a 5 second lag between clicking on start and seeing the menu pop up (on a computer that is Vista certified). Or double click on an icon and wait 15 seconds for a program to start. If that happened all the time, I could at least say "alright, obviously something is wrong with that computer," but it happens sporadically, and it happens on every Vista installation on every computer I've tried. There is something fundamentally incompetent with how MS OSes handle memory management and CPU usage, and it's been that way since the first Windows. Each time it takes years of patches before they get to the point where they're halfway usable; for example, XP at this point is actually a decent OS.
Marvel used to have a good universe, but it has just been mined and re-mined and used up. It is nothing that Marvel did wrong, just eventually fictional universes run out of steam. When you have to "reboot" or "reimagine" your titles every few years you know you're pretty much done.
I'm not American, so forgive me if I get the state wrong, but wasn't it Pennsylvania where several judges jailed innocent kids to get $2m in kickbacks?
It was just two Pennsylvania county judges, who were caught and sentenced (by another Pennsylvania judges) for it. Yes, corrupt, but they do not represent US judges as a whole.
What kind of high school is THIS? We were lucky to have basic computer classes when i was in high school. Sewing and piano? Spoiled bastards.
My high school had sewing and piano, those classes were held on Thursdays (aka "foie gras and caviar day" at the cafeteria, between yachting class and equestrianism.
Ha, actually I am a proud product of the New York City public school system, where we counted ourselves lucky if the history books were published late enough to let us know when WW2 ended.
It's likely it's not the obesity itself, but rather the non-obese were probably somewhat more likely to exercise, which has positive neurological effects.
I don't understand how someone could expect a financial transaction service to be free.
With enough people depositing money, it is theoretically possible for a financial transaction service to be free, because they could just invest a portion of those deposits. But you're right, in this case it's unfair to expect them to be free.
Well you're speaking more of a philosophical construction, or way of looking at bodily experiences; however, traditionally Qi has referred to an actual, allegedly physical manifestation of something. It's this more common interpretation that I reject.

No matter how badly Take-Two screwed up, the fact is, the game had to be hacked to get it to work!
Exactly the point though; how incompetent do you have to be to get the company in this much trouble over something as stupid as that?

You think games for the Sony PS3 have a higher rate of bugs than computer software?

A console is a computer, just with annoying restrictions tacked on.
But much cheaper, and with far less software glitches.
Read the blog article, and I think that a better title for this slashdot article would be "minor design failure."

Are there any realb benifits to tranfering to it.
Nostalgia. That was my first distro, back around in 94 or so.
Yes, now go put your ipod headphones on, and dance in such a way that we just see your silhouette against a brightly colored background.

True. But people here are convinced the business plan you just mentioned will work.
But if it was US judges, then oh yes, you can count on it.
Huh? What are you saying here?
It's likely it's not the obesity itself, but rather the non-obese were probably somewhat more likely to exercise, which has positive neurological effects.
Perhaps the linux developers need to write more efficient code?
In other words, Linux is derivative, but not A derivative.

I am 33.
