This is what I would do. If they think this is on par with the Macintosh, go with another apple. Good names include Cortland, Pippin, Fugi, Lodi, Ginger Gold, Braeburn, and of course, Ms. Boyd's Special.
This is correct. Sam Smith of the Progressive Review says we shouldn't talk about "global warming" at all. That way of phrasing it sounds quite benevolent. After all, who wouldn't mind it if their town was a degree or two warmer?
Rather, we should talk of "climatic instability." Winters are as likely to be colder as warmer, storms will be more frequent and more powerful, floods will hit one region while drought hits another. Even if there are regions that are affected less than others, they can expect an influx of refugees (think Katrina).
including the females from Raiders & Temple of Doom, which could be cool.
I'd love to see Marion Ravenwood come back. As for whatshername from Temple of Doom, I'd rather see the return of the ONLY OTHER WOMAN* to appear in the series: Sallah's wife, who had two whole lines in Raiders.
*Yes, there was obviously the Nazi woman in Last Crusade, but as she died in the Temple, there's not much hope of her appearing in 4.
You can't just invoke the word philosophy and expect everyone to stop thinking.
I don't see that happening. I see just the opposite.
There's nothing unethical about getting locked in to a single vendor if it makes sense for your business.
If you can think of a situation where choosing to reduce your options and increase your overhead makes sense for your business, then you get an A+ for Creative Writing.
WTF? A comment poo-pooing considerations of vendor lock-in gets modded to 4, and replies pointing out the importance controlling your own data get modded to 2 and 1, respectively?
Anyone who sneers as philosophy as being disconnected from real life (including "the bottom line") deserves to be modded into the ground. Exactly what do such people think philosophy is?
Even on Christmas Eve, I figured someone would have mentioned this by now.
Jeff Goldblum['s character] is able to plant a virus in the computer designed by AN ALIEN SPECIES. This assumes he has a good working knowledge of not only their user interface, but their hardware, software APIs, programming language, and arguably their natural language as well. Oh, and he learned all this in, like, a day. Granted, he had a Mac, but still.
The technological aspect pales in comparison to the message that "The biggest reason to use us is that you don't have to," and its corollary, "People who use our services do so because they want to, not because we have them locked in."
Follow-up question: Since life evolved long before 300 million years ago, we are left to assume that it somehow survived in the oceans... on the sunlight that made it through a kilometer of ice. Or have I missed something?
I, for one, feel greatly assured knowing that having the entire Earth, including the oceans, covered by a kilometer of ice is a completely natural phenomenon.
As an aside, with the entire planet covered by a kilometer of ice, how much water does that leave to constitute the oceans?
I lived in Nicaragua for five years. The people are wonderful there - engaged, genuine, passionate, warm. They're also dirt poor, and many (not all) treat you more as a resource than a person.
The government is a rag doll for the US to play with, and petty corruption is rampant among cops and bureaucrats.
Would I go back there to live? Definitely maybe. For now, I'm going to throw myself into undoing the damage done by the W regime, but it remains a fallback option. You know, when things get really bad, and they start doing things like repealing habeas corpus or something.
That's what I've been trying to explain to people for a long time. Terrorism is a tactic, not a government or ideology. How do you declare war on a tactic? Especially one that's not well-defined.
Basically what this amounts to is a War on ______________. Ask too many questions, and it might be your name that fills in the blank.

OK, that one wasn't very Merry.

After all, it's as much a data device as phone.
Other possibilities: uPhone, iCall, eCall, iTech, iWay, iRez, yKnot, oBoy, eGad!get, uThant, oSay, eNuff.
But if they really want to thumb their nose at Cisco, they'll go with the obvious one: iCell.

Also, all three may have been shot in the eighties, but they took place in the forties,

I'm glad this was modded Informative. I now know that you just walked out of your statistical thermodynamics final.
...and it's going to pay off.

NASA would be more leery of computer dating. I mean, really.
Thanks.

I'd like to see that!
Oh... wait.
Or as Stephen Colbert would say, it has "searchiness."
If you can get 1GeV in 3cm and 10GeV in a few meters, the LHC is redundant before it got completed.
Yes, exactly! Because... it was... I mean, uh... wait.
Er. Nope. Sorry. Didn't understand a word of that.
Would someone care to translate?

Better buy it now. I hear in the Extended Version, the Mouth of Sauron shoots first.
