They'll probably argue that the lowercase i makes it seperable somehow. Perhaps you need to say "IOS" like "eye-oss" and iOS like "Eye-Oh-Ess" to distinguish in regular language.
I don't see why not. I mean unless you are against the idea of Tattoos in general? Most people who get a full sleeve generally like to think of a Tattoo as a way to express themself, and not just the "man what a cool tattoo".
I mean, when I see most people with a Tattoo, its usually a tramp stamp or some cheesy shoulder tattoo of a japanese character, and yes - those are the kinds of tattoos you may regret in the future. Also, I'm sure something like your girlfriend of 1 month's name in a giant heart on your back might also be a bad idea.
But there are those people who you see, who have tattoos of stuff that's really cool. They are comfortable with it because it's really a part of them. This is why I don't really discourage this guy's behavior. Is he out of high school? Enough that he can make some rational (relatively speaking) decisions? If you like Tattoos, go for it. If he thinks math and science equations express to the world the geek that he is, in his own clever funny way, so be it. I'm not one to stop him, and I'm not saying you are either, I mean thinking twice is always important, but we don't need to discourage the idea.
I mean you only live once, right? Would it be better to get a Tattoo, and regret it - or to have wanted to get one for years, but never did because you feared it would embarass you? That's really up to him to decide. I personally have wanted a Tattoo for a while, but like you warn, I don't know if I'll want one forever. I've come to the decision that I wouldn't get one unless I was sure that it was me, you know? Something that really expressed a part of me that has been constant throughout. So, if he thinks he has found that part of him, I say go for it, because that's not something the rest of us have found yet. If he just wants to get it because he thinks it'll be cool, or good for a laugh at parties, I would probably say the same thing you do, a Tattoo for the sake of the Tattoo is never a good idea.
People too cowardly to tear every Communist Party member's head off deserve the kind of rule the Party gives them.
What a brutish approach to politics."So a few million die" - so why haven't you resorted to violence against anything your government does that you don't like? I'm sure you could drum up enough of a local militia to send a message. I mean you clearly don't fear death or arrest or abuse.
When the strong oppress the weak, saying the weak deserve it because they are weak makes you sound like the biggest bigot ever and is incredibly short-sighted. That's the kind of attitude that promotes slavery and abuse of women. If you don't want to be grouped with those people, you better find a way to defend that claim or retract it.
But, it's cheaper to eat McD's that actual fresh food from a grocery store -- both in terms of $$, and time.
Definately NOT in money. At least not here in Canada.
Spaghetti noodles: $3 Extra Lean Hamburger meat: $5.50 2 Cans of Tomato Paste: $3 Stock of Celery: 89 cents 2L juice: $1.50 Grand Total: about 15 dollars after Tax.
This will easily get you 5 full meals, more than any meal you can buy at McDonalds with any combo.
There are TONS of easy meals you can spend 20 minutes cooking and have microwavable leftovers for the rest of the week. Chicken and Rice with any veggies you want is another great combo.
Just most people would prefer going through a drive thru 5 times a week as opposed to spending 20 minutes cooking 2 nights a week. It baffles me.
How long till slashdot.xxx is registered and what will it link me to?
In all seriousness though, Will this cause a massive surge of porn hosts buying domain names that exist in.com or.net for.xxx (like google.xxx) so that people curious if it exists will stumble upon their porn site?
His USB is read only, not the system. He wants to RUN an antivirus without installing it on the computer. Which is possible, the most common around are boot CD's (or live CD's), where you boot up an antivirus operating system instead of the windows on your hard drive, from a CD-Rom you insert. His problem was that the computers don't have CD Rom's, so he's looking for the equivalent with a USB stick, which there are still quite a few of.
The problem he'll likely run across is an out of date BIOS that doesn't support booting from USB.
They couldn't have built their own network and emulated phones to test this protocol, they had to go live with their phone provider? Some University. I bet MIT is laughing out loud.
Well yes, when you put it in the literal sense like that, but perhaps we have different ideas of the words "Accounts", because I imagine someone who has an "account" on it has some evidence to support their claim. I mean, by the logic you're implying I could say "You are not by all accounts innocent of raping and murdering a 14 year old girl." Perhaps you've heard that line before and see where I'm going with it, you can say it right back and thus we've completed invalidated any use of the word account.
Basically what I'm boiling down to is I'd need to see the evidence of the charges before really taking them into consideration on whether they have any grounds at all. I've dealt with few enough police officers to know that they don't all interpret/enforce the law the same way.
"By all accounts" may not be quite right; the charges against Sonne, exaggerated or not, involve weapons, explosives and intimidation.
Can't you be charged with just about anything a police officer deems necessary to bring you into the station, but you aren't guilty of any of them until proven so? I thought that's how it worked but clearly I'm mistaken.
Though, I mean, the question of Malicious intent does bring up some good points. If I fire a weapon to shoot an Apple off someones head and I miss and end up murdering them, despite how un-malicious my intent is, do I still have to pay for the crime?
Perhaps the goal, and always has since the beginning of Intel, is to sell more devices with Intel hardware, and they think Android on top of Meego will help get them to that goal? Perhaps they don't have ports for everything is because they don't QUITE have the manpower to pull that off.
Didn't that guy bring this up with Supersize me like years ago? Haven't they already had to face lawsuits because "Eating McDonalds makes you fat"?
I swear, is no one responsible for their own actions anymore? Don't get me wrong, I don't think what McDonald's does is right, but if you play the "I'm not in control of what I eat" card, you deserve to become obese.
I'm not sure I see the problem though. I know very little how the stock markets really work and how they influence the economy really, but whats the difference between someone buying a lot of stock at low times and selling it at high times as opposed to buying hundreds of fractions at any time and selling it the next for a tiny profit?
I'm guessing you enjoy some form of the fantasy genre? Does it's complete lack of historical, and scientific, accuracy keep you from reading/watching/playing it?
Absolutely not, but its not trying to be. When a movie forces one of its plot points to revolve around physics and theories that are accepted, I expect it to follow those rules we've laid out.
So I mean, you take Lord of the Rings, or you take Star Wars. One would be considered Fantasy and the other one would be considered Science Fiction. Though really, I'd consider Star Wars to be science fantasy because it revolves around laws that defy the laws of physics (the Force, light sabers, etc). They both are upfront about the "magic" involved in them.
And don't get me wrong, a plot hole or two is fun to point out, and there are things that just don't work that have become kind of pop culture (like in westerns, shooting a cowboy hat off. Mythbusters, they couldn't pull it off).
But from what I gather from Sunshine, it takes something that wouldn't happen according to physics, which I would be fine with as a story plot, but then it tries to explain the solution to the problem in the form of physics, and then there is a scientific solution. Then every weird thing that happens, has to have some weird scientific explanation behind it.
It's like they took something that would be acceptable and tried to educate you on why it could be plausible, but in actuality it's bad science and not plausible.

The mouse or the MacBook?
Am I the only one who wanted to line all of his clothes with these things and program them to fold themselves when they're out of the wash?
Wait - is circuitry any better at withstanding water and detergent yet?
Well if the topic were MONEY I'd suggest the 69cent instant noodles you can get from any supermarket. A meal for under $2
Or even just a box of Rice, will last you for like 2 weeks.
I was trying to show that if you are willing to spend as much money on groceries as you are on fast food, you can actually eat Healthy.
However, if you are trying to eat cheap, home cooking is DEFINATELY cheaper than fast food, I guarantee.
You including a beverage? Because I am.

Works for me, 60% of the time, every time.
(The other 40% are when we come across old Bios versions that don't allow you to boot from the USB).
All of them.
They couldn't have built their own network and emulated phones to test this protocol, they had to go live with their phone provider? Some University. I bet MIT is laughing out loud.
Also, how's the coverage out there?
So what makes it a telescope then?
It's actually quite a simple concept to grasp.
Well yes, when you put it in the literal sense like that, but perhaps we have different ideas of the words "Accounts", because I imagine someone who has an "account" on it has some evidence to support their claim.

So what makes it a telescope more than say a bunch of eyeballs?
It's pretty ridiculous, I know.
"By all accounts" may not be quite right; the charges against Sonne, exaggerated or not, involve weapons, explosives and intimidation.

Aren't they both leeching money from the system?
It is a telescope, just one that doesn't "see" photons
Okay, I thinkI got it.
and that you don't have to point at a target to see it.
Now you're just screwing with me.
