if Apple actually had stellar hardware. Oh, it looks nice, but under the hood it is less than quality stuff. If it had been quality, they would never have had to cook the results when they release the G5, for example.
The thing you were really paying for is getting something that did not say Microsoft on it. Anything else simply borders on a religous preference.
The way the technology current sits on "safe" handguns are that the firearms is more likely to fail in use than to protect the user from illicit use.
It is far from bullet proof, pun intended.
Firearms technology needs to be kept simple to reliably fill it's intended usage. The more complicated you make it, the greater the chance of failure when needed most.
With all the jobs being shipped out of the United States and reports of massive lay offs in the IT sector. The recent announcment by HP is a perfect example of this.
Why invest in a career where you have little confidence of supporting yourself?
That's the point, it is not a "new" issue. It is a preexisting one. One that preexists even the Constitution. Which is why the 2nd Amendment, for example, does not establish a right but protects a right that was already established.
And kissing someone's ass is only possible, never mind useful when they are living. I simply respect that they sacrificed a great deal to make sure my rights were protected. And it is incumbent upon me to make sure that I continue to protect them.
It does not require interpretation per se. It was designed to be simple and easily understood by the common man. And it was done that way on purpose so that the common man would not need lawyers.
At the time the 2nd Amendment was written, there was no great distinction between military and civilian arms. But the intent was for the final political power to reside in the citizens and for them to be able to take it back by force if necessary.
But then again, if you actually find the Federalist Papers inspiring instead of simply inspiring sleep, you already know that.
Most "right wingers" tend to be constructionists, by definition. The problem tends to be views on what liberals (general term used for purposes of communication) think the amendments mean.
Does the 2nd protect an individual right? Is there such thing as a separation of church and state in the Constitution? If you have two views on that, you will have two views on what the decisions should be.
That being said, in my experience, most who label themselves as liberals have never read the Constitution or even heard of things like the Federalist Papers. I would consider reading the Federalist Papers the minimum level of education before you can form an intelligent opinion about your rights (these days) and the Constitution.
If you want a external USB floppy, it is about $30 unless you go for their "fashionable" marked up line. If you want an internal, it is $14.99 through CompUSA.
Apple still sells floppy drives for current model computers. Are there any PC motherboards out there that don't have a connector for a floppy? Mainstream, not specialized form factor boards.?
Four months is not that long. All the new stuff I have looked at coming in the door still has the option of updating the BIOS by floppy. We are talking mostly Dells here. Even checked the servers in the closet. They do as well.
still the most universal form of storage. Everything still supports it.
I don't see why it would be a big deal to have multiple forms of updates. I can imagine being able to update from a USB flash drive, for example, would be great for an enterprise.
You might want to provide a link that can actually be read. Either way, there is a lot of evidence the other way.
Common sense dictates that it would have an affect. One of the recent comparisons made was the NASA satelite data sets comparing city lights, UHIs, and the Jones/IPCC data collectors. Funny how those locations all match up with UHIs.
Incorrect. While there has been a major increase in greenhouse gases, mankind and mankind's activities are only responsible for between 2% to 5% of the increase (depending on who you talk to on which day).
The earth has never been a stable, unchanging environment to begin with. To lay the responsibility for the climate changes entirely at mankind's door is a deliberately fallacious argument. In truth, it goes on very well despite us.
We don't have a way yet of measuring "global average temperature", never mind looking at it historically. We have a lot of guesses. What they have done in recent history is measure specific points on the globe. Those places have become heat islands due to increasing population. Greenwich is a perfect example of this.
What is obvious is that the methods for measuring global temperature are seriously flawed and now they are claiming the sky is falling based on those flaws.
Let's focus on what we can control versus what is outside of our control. We can not hope to control the global temperature; mankind's actions simply have too little effect. We can't change the rising temperature globally. We might as well try and stop the tide. All we can control is how we react to it.
In other words we need to stop wasting energy on the useless and work on adapting intelligently.
You do realize that we are in the tail end of an ice age right?
There is a reason that Leif Erikson called what is currently an ice heavy area "Greenland." If you compare the conditions there to what we have today, it is obvious that the global temp was a lot higher not that long ago.

Yes, but OS X is being run on other hardware now, isn't it? So the OS issue is a null point.
Did you read the OP?

How about posting on a bulletin board at a local college or university?

She likes Windoze enough to get certified in it *AND* she is writing poetry about Bill's life.
How twisted is that??
I tend to like Gorilla Racks a lot. They are solidly built and should last forever. Might clash with the living room decor though.

And wasn't WoW's economy silver based? I have never heard of friends talk of gold in the game, only silver.

we will replace her with someone who will protect the Constitution instead of creating whole, new laws from scratch on the bench.
Good riddance to the woman.

Whether or not you had a floppy included, I am willing to bet there is still a connector on the motherboard for one. In other words still supported.
Where the hell do you buy floppy drives for 50? Floppys are about $8 for a generic to $12 if you go for a name brand like Teac.

You are referring to one theory, which is at odds with other theories. The theory based on palynology, for example.
Funny how all of these theories don't seem to find much common ground.

We adapted then, we will do so again.
....... since they are still dealing with SCO over IP issues? We want that to be pretty public and well known.
And if IBM so enjoys identifying with LINUX, then their deep pockets can be used to establish some things legally.
Everyone wins here, as far as I can see.
