Why would you have your WoW character name on your slashdot page? Why would you boss know your non-work e-mail address? Especially if he's the kind of douche to suggest your performance review can be affected by whether or not HE gauges you're getting "enough sleep."
As you can see, it unfortunately looks like some uptight gentleman wanted rid of all his points and has already ransacked this whole thread with troll mods.
Actually, I'd argue that Kodak has some of the most popular digital photography devices (taking AND printing) in the more casual (read: Less researched) side of the market, but I don't have the numbers to back that up; I'm operating exclusively on my experience in the field of selling and operating such equipment.
I'd say the Chinese government is responsible for the actions of Chinese government computers regardless of whether or not it's deliberate or due to their neglectful use of said computers.
I suspected as much, but thought I would express my concerns in the form of...well, concern, rather than trolling you and suggesting you were covering it up.
Anyway, thanks for clarifying.
Go ahead and rattle off some of his perceived issues, then. It's offtopic, but you did little to invalidate his claims in a rational and meaningful way.
Alternately, they could donate the DVDs to the devestated people of Haiti, skipping the middlemen entirely!
What good are DVDs in a ravaged country without food, water, electricity, houses, and DVD players/TV sets to view them? To decorate their new makeshift shanty towns with those funny little shiny silver discs?
I'm pleased to have to explain this to you: it was a joke. Donating DVDs of a mediocre movie as an incentive to give money to a charity organization, where, presumably, those DVDs cost someone money to make that would've better been spent on the charity itself. The joke was one that suggested such, except still in the form of DVDs, rather than the money used to create them.
And it was all for the sake of getting a rise out of people anyway.
The article certainly makes it sound like they offered service there prior. What with the part about their, "State Department medal for their previous work in Haiti," which is in the SUMMARY, even.
How did meteorites from Mars end up on Earth? I'm not trying to suggest it's not true, but how does that happen? What causes portions of mars to both erupt out of the planet AND escape Mars' gravity/orbit and wind up on Earth? Aren't those immensely small odds? And we have 3 such meteorites?
The way you claim that it's all done out of necessity and so matter-of-factly really makes me dread the idea of getting married (or old).
I don't do it if I don't feel like doing it, or can't derive any pleasure from it. Why do you? Sperm will be reabsorbed or ejected with or without your manipulations.
Yeah, you know there's a boatload of engineers and genuinely smart people supporting those goons from the background, right? They don't show the parts where that Asian dude is sitting around doing the rocket science required for half their inane projectiles, but you can rest assured it's going on.
I didn't work at Best Buy specifically, but if it's anything like most other electronics/office stores, it isn't a matter of practices at the store at all. I never touched a PC that was a sold to a customer, they come in boxes from the manufacturer. I'm guessing no one at Best Buy is "setting them up," or "sabotaging" anything in any sense of the word. If the Manufacturer's Windows image is somehow FUBAR and has defaults set differently that you don't like (I somehow doubt this), then wipe it with a clean install of Windows, using the license that almost all computers come with now.
That said, I'm pretty sure that installing and leaving Windows alone is all most PC manufacturer's do as well, before they pile on their crapware, anyway.

Unobtanium was a much less stupid, useful metaphor before Avatar was released.
If by "other words," you mean pretty much exactly the same words, then yes.

They mean different things, for starters. Are you complaining that words exist outside your vocabulary? Really?

I must have misread. I thought the story stated that the museum in question possessed 3 such meteorites.
Yeah, we're talking about Haiti here, not Hatia.
Maybe you should read the Bible less, and some science books more.
Wow.

Too soon?

Hello, this is Killian. Give me the Justice Department, Entertainment Division.
Twelve inches? You flatter me!

Whoosh. I would think, "Jumpy Swingy Stabby," would've clued you in.
Classic example of -1 Disagree.

I have a pretty good idea what he just said, and it makes pretty good sense.
70,000 versus 6,000,000,000?
Pretty minor.
Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451) would probably be more apt than Orwell though.
I think he's referring to the 1984 e-book fiasco.
