Mine is just to be dumped somewhere to be food for something. The ocean unless that is too messy. I am done with the meat so some other creature might as well benefit from it. (organs were already to be donated.)
I only worry this will catch on and we will have more bodies than the algae/brine/etc can handle. o.O

"simply because of his selfishness" shows what a complete lack of understanding of nicotine addiction you have.
Shows what a complete lack of compassion for anyone else other than you that you have. I was a smoker for 20 years and I tried my damned hardest to not smoke near anyone. It was my addiction and I dealt with it alone. I was so happy when I finally quit a few years ago but now I think I might start back up just to blow it in your face.
as OS X users do the same via/etc/rc.d. i.e. NOT F*CKING MANY.
Only a few percent at top would probably be aware of the existence thereof.
I am familiar with rc.d on linux but this comment made me look on my OSX box and there is no rc.d. So I think you can change that comment from NOT F*CKING MANY to NONE.
(I was honestly curious if OSX had rc.d. There is something similar but not at all like the *nix version. Just leftovers from BSD I imagine.)
Thanks for the heads up on the speed of the airships. Something else I was thinking about that would technically increase their average voyage speed is that they can travel (mostly) as the crow flies. Cars are bound by the surface roads and trains are locked to their tracks.
Something you brought up made me think of one way this can be a success or failure for Microsoft.
There is one thing Apple has that few other consumer level companies give, and that is service. Apple Numbers has glitches? Call Apple or hit a Genius bar, and it doesn't matter if it is the hardware, the app, or the OS, they will at least try to fix it. They may not be perfect, but this is better for the nontechnical home user than the usual "call the hardware/OS/app/software guy, don't bother us" that is common in the PC world.
If Microsoft decides that if something is wrong with your computer and it was not caused by their own software tough shit then this will be a failure. It would be even worse if anything goes wrong with your hardware you are told to "contact the manufacturer".
Microsoft has always been able to deflect some of the blame for their bad consumer perception by blaming third parties. It will be interesting to see how they deal with this when confronted by Joe Public with his malware infested or faulty memory machine.
From around 4th through 6th grade, my teachers told the class that we'd have to write all our papers in high school in cursive, so we might as well do it now. By 8th grade, they almost always mandated everything be typed, which continued through high school. Instead of lieing to us, could we have spent that time in earlier grades learning touch typing instead?
I doubt they lied to you and actually thought that everyone was going to be using cursive just as they did. I got doubly screwed growing up. In the 4th to 6th grade the small town school I went to couldn't decide what type of handwriting to teach us. Right in the middle of teaching us cursive they decided that was dead and everyone would be using italics. Sorry, that was the only link I could find to really describe it.
Needless to say I really got lost in the mix of all three writing styles. My handwriting to this day is awful. So instead I decided to learn typing on old mechanical typewriters the school had (early 80s). So I may not be able to handwrite anything legible but I just happened to teach myself a very valuable skill at exactly the right time. Should give my misguided teachers credit for indirectly pushing me on the right path.:D
I like to listen to analog cassette tape of live performances myself. Occasionally, in the middle of the performance the roller will slip and the tape will be eaten alive. It's just like if the lead singer threw a tantrum and walked off stage! Now that is realism!
Your point about the fact that they make agreements with each other not to sue should be a glaring example of why patent reform is needed. Corporations find them so bad they need to sign peace treaties with each other just to do business.
E.g. the moment you click 'disassociate', the device actually becomes bricked until the device password is entered.
Not to be a pedantic dick but locked out is NOTbricked. People really need to stop using bricked just because they can't use a device. bricked means the device is worthless (at least it used to). Like if someone put a hammer to a kindle. That would brick it
We do have the right but God help you if you actually try to exercize it. Fairly certain you will find out how less lethal these tasers are unfortunately.
Not only that but they were (are) terribly weak. I still have a DC that I play on occasion but I have gone through over 8 controllers. The trigger buttons on the bottom of the controller are really fragile. I repaired them as many times as I could before purchasing new ones but I was just amazed how often they broke.
Maybe it is just me and I am hard on triggers but this is the only controller that I have ever broken from any system. Luckily, there are stockpiles of unsold controllers easily found via eBay.
What i don't get is the "Windows is safer than Linux" statement. Now this is being a little pedantic but Linux is only the kernel. Its like saying "A Honda is faster than a V8"
(good enough car analogy?)

Shit is constantly broken in Lynx! Images still don't show up right without hacks! WTF is up with that!? And forget about Flash. Adobe hates Lynx.

Nah let him have his moment. I am just glad all those guys are gone so I can breathe again.
Should they start taxing pedophilia then? They could rake it in!
... an innocent user in, say, Germany would loose his email...
So it would be in the wild?
That story took some real digging btw. For a minute I thought I had dreamed it up.

How do you know? Those hackers are crafty terrorists!
Well, its either a skinny little turtleneck wearing guy screaming at you or a huge balding bastard throwing chairs. Take your pick.
They should hire away Geek Squad employees! They would be cheaper too!

This the the Mac Plus with the formula for Transparent Aluminum on it!
I bet it has enough power to control a nuclear wessel also!
Get out of jail free card instead? What a sweet deal that would be!
