It's kind of like a recent news story in which the Ku Klux Klan was protesting the Westborugh 'Baptist' 'church' (quotes included because I don't believe they qualify as either.) There is sinply no way to pick a 'lesser' evil.
Also be careful when trying people's door handles on their home. Despite some of them possibly being unprotected by any locking mechanism, for example, if the owner is inside, if the door opens be careful what you take from the building since you may still be a criminal.
if I take my 19 volt 4 amp power supply into one laptop that draws 2 amps, it still draws 2 amps
No, it draws something like 2.01 amps. Some environmentalists think the additional.01 amp draw is a big deal, despite that more polution would come from the design and manufacture of multiple power supplies each of which is ever so slightly more efficient.
I've seen it happen. Fortunately it wasn't too important of a web site. When we found out what had happened my reaction was "I know better than to do that and I've never coded a line of Flash in my life!" A dirty little secret of Enterprise application development (both internally and externally) is a lot of it is done by novice developers. It seems that they hand them a copy of "language For Dummies" and let them loose on the code base. Because of this you never know what kind of bizarre shortcut some developer might have used could cause who knows what kind of issues when the slightest thing changes...
The job of IT is to keep the environment running. Unless there is a major virus update the risk of a patch causing an outage is usually greater than the (short term) risk of malware. I've experienced both mad scrambles to get a patch deployed and also mad scrambles to roll back a patch that caused a production outage. Trust me, a production outage ALWAYS a bigger deal than a virus outbreak.
Spoken like someone who has never been responsible for keeping thousands of computers running mission critical applications. When money is involved (lost business, idle workers, etc.) the risk of deploying patches without going through proper testing cycles can be much greater than the risk posed by malware. If you have ever had a thousand workers idle because a patch caused a mission critical app to fail you would understand.

And who wins here????? You guessed it, the LAWYERS!!!!
A lawyer is someone you hire to protect you from others in the same profession. The only other profession I can think of like that is extortionist.
Because you don't see stray fish picking through garbage outside restaurants
Now THAT would be funny.
I'm sure it's fairly common in areas that are flooded.
Who would've known back in 1997 that Axl Rose would deliver Chinese Democracy before 3DR finished Duke Nukem Forever.
Or that both would royally suck ass...
And uninstalling the crapware that is included on a recovery disk is equally a PITA...
Sure it only lets you make the recovery disk once. But there is nothing keeping you from copying the recovery disk.
So your response to flooding is to rebuild in the desert?
You make the assumption that flooding never occurs in the desert.
You sent us Celiene Dion and Justin Beiber. You owe us.
Next thread: The debate over stacks versus queues continues. Which will win?
I'm working on a 'First In-Random Out' queuestack. That should settle that argument...
it's been 800,000 years! Isn't that gradual enough?
Can't they just be happy with what they've already won and go home?
They appear to be students of the Larry Ellison school of thought: "You don't really win unless everyone else looses."

End result: Lawyers will get big $$$ in a settlement, you'll get a free month of PSN and a chance of identity theft after the next breach.
Good, I'll still be able to get to ThePirateBay

how does this increase consumption?

It's about presenting a plate of crap as an expensive Surf & Turf meal.
I hear they're working on that.
Mm, mm! Gotta get me one of them unko baagaa specials! Probably taste better than most corporate bullshit, anyway...
Cheers,
Still tastes like sh*t to me...
So from "quite good" to "stunning" is a 0.3 rating on a 1 to 5 scale? That's quite a non-linear scale.
Maybe its like the video game review website scale, where they call it 1 to 10 but oddly enough everything scores 8 to 10.

Because anything under an 8 rating means you wont get that publishers next title for review.
when my iPhone friends play with my phone they are pretty much always impressed.
When your iPhone friends play with a block of wood, they're pretty much always impressed too. Don't give that too much weight.
Only if it has an Apple logo on it. Otherwise the fanbois will say that Apple could make superior wood blocks.
Of course tornadoes never attack airports... (Other than the one that hit Lambert Field in St. Louis a month or so ago.)
Tornadoes kill and injure children! And leave them homeless. We have to be able to predict tornadoes to protect children! Think of the children!
Oh yes! Him and George Bush Jr trained together for the space missions back in '82.
I misread as Ham (the first chimp in space) and Bush trained for space missions...

It's a big government if it taxes or regulates you. It's a small govenment if it doesn't suffucuently tax or regulate your competitors.
