You left out one overwhelming benefit. If your rafting party is ever raped by crazed , inbred rednecks, you can use a damn lake to cover up the evidence.
Suburban law enforcement is a whole different creature from urban law enforcement. A friend threw a party in the Burbs years ago and a neighbor complained about the noise. Three cop cars showed up.
My GF managed a downtown chain store and cops could hardly be bothered to come pick up the shoplifters they caught. And, even if they did show up for them, they'd often be right back on the street and sometimes come BACK to the store within days to shoplift AGAIN!
They're more likely to get more bang out of 2nd hand hardware. Additionally, there's always a need to upgrade hardware. Note, make sure you contact an administrator rather than a student employee in their IT departments. Odds are better the hardware will get put to use inside university machines rather than repurposed to supe up some undergrads private servers.
Completely second this. I love MS Office and some of their other apps like Visio and Visual Studio, but I'd kick Windows to the curb in a second if I could run games optimally on Linux. I just wish the Linux community would standardize the desktop to provide a unified API for app developers, then let the hobbyists and admins play around with all the fringe distros.
I don't see much about it that fits in with this site. I make exceptions for Presidential election coverage because the stakes are so far-reaching, but this?
I guess Samsung must own the patents on round-corners on a ship? Good luck selling that monstrosity. I don't think I've ever seen an ugly luxury yacht before. Consider this another pioneering achievement by Jobs. Blech!
Tons of forum posts on techie sites, but also a lot of first page links to a guy with my same name who live<s|d> about 20 miles from my home town with a prison record. Luckily, his picture is posted in all the links, but imagine the problems that would cause otherwise.
Agreed. The only legitimate reasons I can think of for googling an acquaintance is if you're about to enter a business relationship or you're a woman going on a date with a man you don't know well. I'd never google a friend's name unless they told me to to look at a link (and that has happened before).
"Intentionally"? Why do you keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means. I've found out by googling my name that Google indexed all of my Picasa photo albums with my REAL NAME attached online. I use it for all kinds of joke images I create for online forums, quick pic linking etc. Luckily there was nothing bad there, but lots of people do what I did not knowing the unforeseen consequences of the total information awareness era.
Just from all the "fuck politics, I'm going back to being a libertarian" pouting I'm seeing here. Just like right after the 2008 election.
As for the actual DEBATE, anyone catch Romney's comment about Syria important to Iran as their only shipping route to the ocean? Or, how about how he went from "the Arab spring sucked, we shouldn't have done it" to "I agree with deposing Mubarak." He also went back to defending the $5/$2 trillion tax-cut/defense spending hike he DENIED in the 1st debate.
Also notable was Romney getting called out on his Big Flashy Numbers approach to military spending which works fantastic when you're cheerleading for your base, but really poorly when there's someone to challenge you. OMG did you know our Air Force is smaller than it was in 1947???? When we had tens of thousands of prop jobs and 1st generation jets as opposed to a mere hundreds of supersonic modern fighters with state-of-the-art electronics???? Oh noes!!!
They've always said, gun ownership is about responsibility. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. OK, so Zimmerman took a gun and started a conflict. HOWEVER it went down, Zimmerman escalated a nothing-doing situation to a murder. So, as someone who doesn't own a gun, do you think I'm OK with this? You think my response is, "oh well, that sucks but we'll never know if Trayvon lunged at him."
Hell no, my response is if gun owners don't see a problem with this kind of a situation, then strike these stand-your-ground laws from the books. Obviously, the line for gun owner responsibility has been rolled back and I'm not letting that line get rolled over onto my corpse one day.
I had an old guy basically try to start a fight with me once absolutely out of the blue. I had a very strong inclination that he was armed. Had we met in a dark alley and he felt more empowered to shoot me out of witness sight, he would've had a hell of an argument for self defense with me being 250 and him being a tiny old man.

Lighten up Francis! Not on Mars of course, we don't want our probes exploding.
If this breeding program works, we can feed them the toads.

A phone and a PDA. The year 2002 called; it wants it's inconvenient tech model back.
...just hook me up with some of them Colombian hookers the Secret Service has been recruiting for their Randy Reserves.
Holy crap! I thought that was a joke! I clicked for the punchline image lol
When I see "battery breakthrough" in the headline, I don't even bother with the summary. [sigh]
The moment she starts crying, any bullshit she's been putting you through instantly goes out the window.

Welcome to the United States. If it inconveniences Corporate America, it's bad for America.

You need to move out of your gated community if you think that.

They're dilithium fusion struts. They're used to reverse the polarity of the tachyon inducer field. Seemed pretty obvious to me.
Yeah, but don't astronauts have to be in shape?
Their debates get more coverage than the Dem/Rep debates.

I see the problem; zeroes. You data is littered with zeroes.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Good News! We've got the firepower to make that happen since we haven't been wasting money on satellites!
