One of my smart-aleck co-workers was always remarking loudly as I passed his desk on the way back from the ladies room "If you shake it more than twice you're playing with it!" So finally I replied "What else would I possibly want one for if not to play with it?" He never said it again.
True. But then, that's often how a conversation goes; starts on one point and segues to something else. The iPad story is legitimate, and receives its share of conversation. Every post has interesting side channels to the conversation.
Yeah... like how that iconic picture of the 12-year-old Mohammad al-Dura screaming in terror moments before he was brutally murdered was finally proven to be a staged "Pallywood" production. Or driving the Palestinians out of their homes in Jerusalem. Oh, you mean those Jewish homes purchased over 100 years ago, whose owners the Jordanians drove out, renting the homes to Arabs and holding the rent in "escrow" for the legal Jewish owners? Until the Arabs stopped paying the rent and tried to claim the homes as theirs? And finally got evicted for not paying rent for years? Wish I could live in a rental house and then decide to just stop paying the rent and get to claim title to the house.
Or how about building some apartment buildings in a Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem that in no way expands the borders of said Jewish neighborhood? Well, I guess facts really aren't all that much fun, are they? After all, "thousands of illegal settlements driving the Palestinians off their land" sounds a lot more exciting than "Jews legally building apartments in their own neighborhoods".
Add to that the usually ignored fact that it was Israeli land that was occupied by Jordan and Egypt for 19 years before the Jordanian and Egyptian occupation was lifted.
Funny how during those 19 years of Jordanian occupation of the West Bank and Egyptian occupation of Gaza that nobody ever suggested a Palestinian state in those occupied territories. And that during those 19 years (and the 40 years since then) the 400,000 or so refugees from the 1948 war were kept blocked up in the "camps" and not allowed to disperse among their Muslim brethren, nor those from the West Bank area and Gaza allowed to return to their homes in the West Bank and Gaza, as all other refugees from all other wars all over the world do.

That is not grime, nor is that a dirty T-shirt. It's s very common type of dyed t-shirt, they come with that streaky look in any color, and the guy happens to have dark skin. I learned at a very young age that black and brown people weren't dirty; the color really doesn't rub or wash off. I have an Indian (as in Calcutta Indian) friend whose skin color and sheen is very much like that.
When I worked where there were a number of smokers who took their regular smoking breaks, I took a break with them; except that I took a brisk 5-minute walk around a nearby park while they were busy poisoning themselves (and yes, nicotine is a very potent poison, makes a fine anti-tick dip for sheep). Did a great job of clearing my head and letting me get back into the groove for another couple of hours.
What I was suggesting was that maybe separating the adults from the children the way it is done is not a good idea. With teachers eating in the same lunchroom and using the same bathrooms, there would be a much different atmosphere. As it is, the only teachers the kids interact with outside of the classroom are those assigned to "monitor", and all they can think about is when their assignment of trying to keep the little monsters from killing each other is over and they can go back to their friends, coffee and cigarettes in the teacher's lounge. Teachers are no longer friends and role models; they have become little more than school policemen with no real authority.
When I was in grade school, I went to a small four-room schoolhouse with two bathrooms at the end of the hall. The seven adults at the school also used the same bathrooms. All was quiet. Then they added an extension, with a teacher's lounge and bathroom. Immediately there were serious problems with smoking, drugs and sexual harassment and even a couple of cases of rape in those same two bathrooms at the end of the hall. After I caught two girls and a boy spying on me in the stall (the girls started giggling when the boy looked), I ended up with a severe kidney infection from refusing to use the bathroom at school.
In a few hundred years, we can only pray that the "religion" will only be a small bloody chapter in the history of humanity.
And to whom (or what) will we be praying?
In any case, since humanity has been slaughtering one another over religion (or at least using religion as the excuse) throughout its entire history, it will hardly ever be a "small" chapter. The body count of the Muslim sectarian violence going on right now with no end in sight has already approached if not exceeded that of most of history's religiously-inspired wars.
You have bigger problems, or you are not describing this one accurately. I read this, and on my G4 iBook copied a 27Mb file from one folder to another, and it didn't even have time to open the process dialog.
The director of the Estonian company has been convicted for credit card fraud but he was still able to build a network of companies in Europe and in the United States
For instance, a Web developer who joined the company in 2008 proudly published a portfolio containing sites that he developed during his employ. This is a natural thing to do for a Web developer. In this case, however, his portfolio consisted not only of corporate websites but also of websites that have been used to lure Internet users to install Trojans that posed as helpful software such as video codecs and file compression software.
The whitepaper is totally different than you tried to portray, even in the first page. Your post is obviously an attempt at a coverup, presuming most people won't read the PDF.
Reminds me of when I did some freelance perl coding for a wannabe ISP startup, back in the days when you could do that with a dozen modems. The boss showed me his pride-and-joy; the auto-sign up program he was personally writing - about 20 lines of C code and an absolutely enormous macro. I just nodded and made ooh-aah noises and went back to my perl coding.
According to TFA Verizon told the guy that it wouldn't be necessary for a tech to come into his house. So he wasn't expecting anybody.

After my divorce, I discovered that the wife inherits any bad credit from the marriage, but does not inherit a good credit rating. I kept my married name since I had also had a small business as well as an online presence in that name. I had a valid driver's license, and took the joint Sears store card with me, since I had a laptop under warranty from Sears, as well as a car which was registered in both our names. We had purchased several cars, a house, and had numerous store and bank credit cards for more than 20 years with never so much as a late payment; I had no credit rating at all after the divorce. I could not open a bank account even though I had a steady job at a local university, I could not get a phone. The university was very unhappy about cutting a check for my pay, they normally used direct deposit. I had to deposit my check in a trusted friend's account, or else use a store front check cashing service for a horrendous fee. I also paid my friend's phone bill by check for six months, then was able to transfer the friend's phone into my name while the friend got a new one. The friend and I were able to get a "bad-credit" secured credit card from the friend's bank in both our names, eventually transferred into my name alone and upgraded to a more normal low-limit unsecured card. I made a point of using it at least once a month, and only making the minimum payments. It took nearly a year before I finally showed up on the "credit rating" radar.
My lesson from this is for wives to get a credit card in their own name, a bank account in their own name, buy a car in their own name. Don't presume that just because you as a couple pay your debts regularly and have a sterling credit rating that this will be applied to you as an individual after a divorce, although the husband certainly keeps his rating. But, as I mentioned, any bad credit from the marriage will be applied to you.
Why not just plant more trees around buildings made of concrete? That seems to me to be a more useful, long-term "incentive" program than some we've seen lately.

Plenty of cheeseburgers. You just have to find the non-Kosher McDonalds. There's one at the central bus station in Netanya.

er...Jew is a race. "Real" Jews can in fact be identified by DNA.

I'm really bad at math, but even I can figure 1978 + 35 = 2013.
I was just thinking they should tweet if they break!

Having a white iBook myself, I spotted that right away; the ports on the side certainly look like an exact match to me.

That doesn't change the fact that there are outright false statements here.
