That was my reason for buying one too. I never want to take my $1200 laptop anywhere because it might get scratched or worse. But I don't mind getting a bit rough with my netbook, as I don't need it to retain its value.
Actually, even a gay man might have fun on that date, since they're usually paid for.
I mean, as a straight male if you told me I'd get paid to go somewhere nice with 2 guys, I'd be fine with it. "date" doesn't mean you have to get naked.
This sounds like a very stable environment. In free-fall you can move this way and that and your internal organs will sort of eventually catch up. Other than rotating, which the article does discuss, they can't really push off and fly across the room, coming to an abrupt halt at some point. Things like that.
When they film a blurb on-location, do they have permission from every individual who may be heard on the mike? Even those a block away? That could be hundreds of people.
You can flag a document to open with any application, regardless of the default. You can also change the default for any document type, including newly-created ones. Finally, you can right click and choose the app you want to open your doc with right there.
I think the complaint is that apps in 10.6 are not flagging their own documents to open with themselves. It should be easy to patch this in for any app that is currently being supported, but I suspect most won't care, because it's just not a huge deal.
We have fascism here in the U.S. too. But here's the thing, life is too good to do anything about it. People, well most people, will happily put up with fascism if they still eat well and mostly do what they want. Why? Because the cost of stopping fascism (revolution) is deemed not worth it. Even a mini-revolution, say, the public execution of 10 or 15 "officials", is too risky or costly for anyone involved, no matter how much it is warranted.
Or, you can buy a $300 Dell and put OSX on it. Yes, Apple frowns upon this, but it's perfectly viable, and EULAs that tie hardware to software are questionably ethical, let alone legal.
My initial reaction was that this might happen on jailbreak phones which are no longer properly controlling the CPU, or something else internal that is then overheating.
I currently run many shooter games at around 60-80 FPS at 1280x1024, and my GPU is hardly at the top end. So in 6 years, I can run a 12,800x10,240 resolution screen (if such a thing exists) at over 300 FPS. Um, sure.
Suicide may also be advantageous. If your death will help other members of your village survive, say, because there's one less mouth to feed and a short food supply, it could be seen as a possible form of altruism (admittedly, weakly).
Depression is the end product of low self-esteem, which also has possible social advantages. Forcing a change in behavior, for example, that can get you to pursue low-status pathways to reproductive success that are more likely to succeed if you are a low-status individual.
The classic example of this is an ugly woman, who can't get a husband, and has low self-esteem as a result. This causes her to just "sleep around" and not care who it's with. For someone with real prospects, this is a bad idea, because since she can get a quality man, she should, to better provide for her children. But for a woman that can't, she may as well have kids alone than not at all.
Keep in mind, this isn't advice on what people "ought to do", it's just a pathway for genes that cause this kind of behavior to flourish.
In the end, I think a lot of psychological wisdom has it backward. When experiencing low self-esteem, most people try to change the self-perception, as if that is the cure. Instead, they should be using that low self-esteem to change other things in their life. A bad job, a bad relationship, etc.
The fun part is - that as a non-US citizen, I look at something like this and think "What the hell is the US Government wanting to know what people have on their computer as they visit the US?"
They don't want to know what's on your laptop - not really. There's 3 factors here. First, they enjoy intimidating people. It makes them feel important. Not because they're assholes, but because they're human. Part of the reason for the bill of rights is to protect us from ourselves. We are all capable of terrible things.
Second, on the off chance they get lucky and find some questionable porn, raises all around.
Third, they probably honestly believe they're protecting the border by making sure you didn't store your terrorist plans in a folder called "terrorist plans" right on your desktop.
The force needed to move the water in a loop will increase as the length increases. I'm not sure by how much. But an excessive length of pipe may mean your existing water pump for your PC is no longer strong enough to be effective.
OK - take that argument into some other industries:
Do you really think that the postal service should be immune if they carry a package containing methamphetamine? Even if they deliver it to a 13-year-old child?
Yes. Are you suggesting that the post office be held liable for something that could not have known about unless they opened and inspected EVERY package? Are you suggesting that the post office in fact DOES inspect every package?
Do you really think that a bus-line should be immune if they give a ride to a terrorist with a bomb in his back-pack on his way to blow up a kindergarten?
Yes, they should be immune. Or again, should they inspect every backpack of every bus rider? Should every bus driver be an expert on detecting bombs?
The rest of your examples are equally invasive. You seem to want people to be responsible for things they can't possibly be responsible for without violating your rights and spending a lot to do it (which will increase your costs by a lot), lowering service, and treating every customer like a criminal. And in this case, for something that is difficult to put a value on, or know if it's even harmful to anyone.
Whether or not there has been some human-caused or non-human-caused climate change is less of an issue than what is going to happen because of it, and in that respect, there is NO agreement, and any predictions so far have always been very, very wrong.
So even if we all agree on a small amount of global warming over the last 300 years, no one can say what it means, or what things will be like in 20, 100, 500 years. The problem is that people keep trying to say these things to scare you into supporting some foundation or new law.
So yes, the "GW is crap" people have something to gain by having you ignore them, but the "GW will kill you TOMORROW" people also have something to gain and are equally bat-shit crazy.
Indeed, I have most of my DVDs ripped to an external drive in h264 format, but for netbook watching when I'm on the road, I go a step further and convert them to xvid at a lower bitrate and sometimes smaller screen size. It's still very nice looking on a netbook screen and the processor isn't at 100% trying to decode h264.
Also, the re-encode process takes very little time compared to the original encode. My desktop Mac does the original encode in like 90 minutes for a 2 hour movie, but the re-encode for netbook viewing takes about 8 minutes.

Maybe, maybe not. My netbook stutters a bit on high res youtube videos, and it stutters a good deal on HD h264 videos.
By that logic, saving any life is just delaying the inevitable since you don't actually make them immortal.
Everything that makes life better for more people is only delaying the inevitable, that doesn't mean it isn't good or isn't worthy of recognition.

So, punish Chinese people because of the actions of their government? Many of them stay here and work anyway.

Do you think it entirely impossible that one country may look to what another country has done and imitate it?
As long as pirating any media of any kind EVER is fully supported by the law.
ALL parties want bigger government.

I sure hope not. Immediately getting a hard-on in the company of a woman could be a source of perpetual embarrassment.
Then again, it certainly sends the correct message.
Did you just solve the unemployment problem? After all, they are the ones who won't get treated for the virus until it's too late.
I'll stop short of the conspiracy theories.

Why keep buying games you're not satisfied with?
Yes, China executes more, but in Iran they rape child girls the night before the execution so they'll spend an eternity in hell.
