I hate the stupid magic-mice, well maybe its me that's stupid, I could never figure it out. I use one of those super trackballs but it's on it's last legs. I ordered the new track pad from Apple with the stupid name. I mean I like auto-magic as much as the next tech-junkie but I know its just computer stuff.
I would like to think (I know it to NOT be true) but if you pay "full" price it's yours, if you pay contract price, the carrier owns part of your phone until your contract is over. It is a contract after all. They pay for part of your phone, you agree to use their service. Ah, to live in a perfect world!
I was building a website and left a legally incorrect line as to the corporate status of the company the site was for. I thought I had saved the changes as I was working but did not. It was a low priority project and did not plan to resume work for a few months (I also thought it was not a publicly available beta). So not only am I a lazy designer sometimes, now I got cease and desist letters from the AG's of two states with threats of $25,000 fines for each instance of "X" that resulted from my error. There were no "X's" and one state has dropped it, I am still waiting to officially hear that state number 2 has dropped it. There are somethings you need to be on top of!
"reflex" definition clearly needs to be updated. "Lens" is not an actual reference to the number of lenses. If you take apart an "lens" you will find up in the hundreds of smaller lenses.
At this point is seems to be an argument over semantics and SLR definition.
Even though I got moded underrated, I win; as I have have photographs taken with and SLR published in national publications and work as a professional photographer.
Clearly this is the work of Apple. On the heals of their worst product and following press release. Steve Jobs used his mind control over Motorola. End. Of. Story. Don't believe me? Just ask yourself "why now?". Jobs shouldn't even work at Apple, he was born in Kenya.
It's very cool, quite neat and probably a huge time sink. I would almost like one. BUT it IS a Single Lens Reflex camera. The image you see comes from/through the lens.
Think there is a fundamental difference between Libertarianism and Capitalism. The USA is a Capitalist country as most markets are regulated feds, it may be based on libertarian ideas, but it is regulated (some would argue in many markets "over-regulated") Somalia is a true Libertarian state.
Regulated markets are good for a society as long as they are not over regulated.
We could probably discuss all day what the social definition of "libertarian" is and if that definition should apply to the US or not. More then likely we could have an endless debate on the merits of market regulation and programs like social security, but I don't have the desiree to type that much.
I do want to clarify "communism "should" work"; I meant only in theory. Human's have intelligence, ego's and art. With those three things communism fails since they are not equal in all people and with those in place communism always fails.
I don't understand libertarians in anyway. I have never seen a market correct it's self. To me libertarianism is just like "social darwinism" but applied to businesses, and that shit never worked out. Before you mark me "troll" you should probably know I am not to heavily vested in political opinion and tend to vote issues, one at a time and they don't fall on party lines. I also think libertarian systems "should" work, just like communism "should" work (but both seem to fail in the real world for totally different reasons). If I would have to pick a system that has worked the best I would be hard pressed to choose anything other then a tribal/feudal.
Hack the ISP, go to a sporting goods store, get a Mossburg 550 and a box of 2 1/2" 000 buck, go to the address of the account logging on (or traced where ever). Two options here depending on the variables. Recover your property on your own or call the police and tell them you are recovering your property. Before you jump on me suggesting you call the police. I have lived in several places in the US where this is approved by the police even if you employ a weapon to do so.
Who are these people that click on passive ads, I don't care if web browsing, facebook, playing a game or using utility software on your phone. I SO DO NOT get it. I get pay for click on search engines, I even use those when I am looking for something. But random (even if they track and compile my habits, the ads look random to me). So who are these consumers who click on banner advertising where ever it rears it's head? We have been hearing about location based pop ups and maybe it's in some markets, but that will be down right invasive and not the same as this passive banner ads. I am not going to click on an ad while I am playing chess on my phone, and then what? Go though a check out process using my phones input? I just don't see that paying off. It's not just the who, but also the end payoff for the advertiser. I just don't see it as a good choice. Maybe for large business that are interested in name recognition, but for the small advertiser.... Eh, I have lost my train of thought, what were we talking about?
Will this be like my bank blocking my debit card "for unusually activity"? Because that has never worked. The government's most secret known agency putting sensors with the ability to shut down a network, what could possibly go wrong?
After living a year in the jungle I returned to Anchorage, Alaska in October just as the ground was starting to freeze. I was feeling a little down and the feeling didn't go away as the snow came, the temps dropped and the daylight waned. In February I looked up sometime around midday and proclaimed "I miss dirt". I know I need to be out there. I feel so much better when I am in the field and afterwards as well.
Of course I may be a geek, tech savvy or whatnot, but I am no city boy. I grew up in the redwoods, even lived in a teepee when I was a kid (my dad never owned a computer in his life) and I am more comfortable sitting in the bush then I am sitting at my computer. Life forced my hand so I am forced to do the tech work for my company, but I still get to do the field work too and I swear it gets me a little high (not just the work, the being outside), it lasts for weeks. Sometimes if there is no field work to be done I will drive south until I get to the ocean and find a place with no snow and go lay in the woods on the dirt. Just to be clear, I am no hippy-dippy freak.
It's much cheaper to build with conxes and there are multiple plans across the internet. Even better weather permitting you can build an blueprinted framed, wired, plumed, hardwood floors Safari style tent. I have two and am working on a B&B based on the concept. I have some friends that own a place named Safariwest.com they run year round and are just north of Santa Rosa, CA. My place (concept is up here paliuli.com, but we are closed until I have a few more built) however is in a bit warmer climate zone far south of California.
I don't give out information over the phone. PERIOD. Even companies I pay, if I forget to mail out a check and they ask I make a payment over the phone, I ask them if a bill has been emailed of USPS'ed. If they say yes, I say thank you, I will pay it when I get it. If they ask me to "verify" my account details, I ask them to go first. Like asking for the 3rd set of numbers on my card in question or my first 3 SS numbers. They always tell me they have to verify my identity first and I simply tell them that they called me. Then I point out that I have no way to verify who they say they are, the response is almost always "but we are Bank of America, why would I say I am if I am not, I really am!". Rarely do they understand my point: They called me and are asking for money over the phone.
They (Ticketmaster) will impose a fee to transfer the ticket. Then they will be the scalper and middleman. I would like to point out that these are not like e-airline tickets as you can buy those for someone else and have multiple options when picking up the boarding pass (like using the conformation code, last name OR credit card). Then there is Miley Cyrus, I know kids are getting credit cards young, but other then some pervs aren't most of her fans 8 year old girls?
I was thinking about this a few days ago. At what point can you copyright your speech. Not political, I mean the words that come out of your mouth. I was thinking of the queen of Alaska (where I am currently living), Sarah Palin. She is constantly contradicting herself with no apology. I was thinking at some point it would be within her public persona to file a copyright suite when someone when does not like quotes her. I am guessing that somewhere in America someone has tried this, but it's all about the judge...
To really put to the test you need a really good sketch artist and a photographer. Send out the artist and when he is just about done sketching the area call over the photography to photograph the same scene. It he is arrested for any reason you put it to the court test with the artist.

I think real life has had this since gravity. Maybe cyanide came first, hard to tell.
And if you travel outside of your light-cone? (other then math breaking down)
FTFA: It's a pound for a 24 hour pass, that is insane! Subscribe for 2 pounds a week, or 104 a year, thats the same as the insurance on my Jeep.

I have been out geeked, good thing I have two working days of this week left to work on my game.
Not to out geek anyone but wasn't this the plot of the "premier" Futurerama on Comedy central last week?

Well Prince would know when something is over.
It's a feature not a bug, my 1st gen iPhone did this.
To really put to the test you need a really good sketch artist and a photographer. Send out the artist and when he is just about done sketching the area call over the photography to photograph the same scene. It he is arrested for any reason you put it to the court test with the artist.
