It's a plug for a newspaper app (I forget which one) where the family is having breakfast...the dad is reading the paper on his iPad and then a fly starts buzzing around him...
In the end, he tries swatting it...and the iPad cover glass shatters. IIRC they mention that their app *almost* replaces the newspaper.
It probably didn't help that Shatner kept saying stuff like "I'm... sorry... that you.... *perceived*... me......... as being selfish........... or hostile.... to you..... back... then."
I've always wondered why UPS's don't come with PSU output to replace the pwr supply in the computers. Is it just an economy of scale thing? I figure that if a home user wants a UPS to protect and power the computer during power outage, why not also get rid of that noisy PSU fan?
Nah. Settling conflict with guns is for the low rung of the ladder. I think organized crime has found it to be much more profitable and safer to influence the political system, just like the businessmen---but I repeat myself.
Suppose you were an idiot.
And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

only in America is working over 40 hours a badge of honor. The Germans seem to be doing pretty well with their 30 hour work weeks and their 2 months paid vacation every year. We Americans often confuse competence with numbers of hours worked.
Agree wholeheartedly. Somehow managers (MBA's) have sold workers on the idea that they are just another commodity/expense, rather than human beings. Therefore, for a worker to advance or seem valuable, they should work for less, or work extra for free, etc.
I'ts as if the workers believe they are owners, but without the ownership.
... Our universe now contains more information than it did before ....Was information created and subsequently destroyed?
If these particles move through time, what does it actually mean for them to be in our universe at time t? As for the information, I didn't read anything about how the sending/receiving information from these time traveling particles affects the current amount of information in our universe. Perhaps there is only an exchange of information between the two different times using this hypothetical particle as the conduit.
As others have noted, I personally don't see how sending information vs. sending a person avoids any paradoxes. Any solution for one would seem to be a solution for explaining paradoxes of the other.
Selective enforcement of laws is a major vector for corruption.
But suing isn't about enforcement of laws. Selectively defending ownership, perhaps. And there is nothing requiring them to sue everyone they intend to sue all in one lawsuit.
Wait...I'm defending the MPAA? Forget what I said!
... In all your 1984 dystopian scenarios, there's an elite segment that isn't subject to the same rules as the masses---arguably, there exists an elite segment in today's society that isn't subject to the same rules as the masses
And unfortunately, they seem to be the ones making the rules. <Sigh>SSDD
Maybe we should give it a try. After all: Freedom is slavery.
... what would happen if they had to deal with an emergency in the US ? And what if in the middle of this emergency, someone wanted to see a video on Youtube containing info that he needs?
If the US military has to rely on access to Youtube, they have bigger problems.
OTOH, if an information source is using Youtube, I'm sure the military can manage to repost it to their own network.
To me, drinking beer is about getting shit faced, usually with friends. I don't give a crap if it tastes less hoppy or has carmel undertones.
And do you also only eat to get full so any cheap ass dogfood will do? Some people actually enjoy drinks and aren't just drinking to get shit faced. It's not about being snobs. And I don't think you are trolling. Maybe a bit off-topic, but
then many of the discussions here went astray. (Including mine.)
But perhaps you weren't speaking of the discussions here.
Now if Joe Hipster is giving you crap...I'll agree he does sound like a snob...so he can buy the next round.

For the same reason that I don't let any company I deal with have access to my checking account so they can directly take money. I will decide when I give you money
Me too. Quite some time ago was my first experience with an automatic deduction from my account. My bank even required a form indicating who was authorized and for what amount.
Sounded good to me. Until the price increased and my bank automatically paid the higher than authorized amount. That's when I realized it was nothing more that you have authorized them to debit your account. Stopped that and have never trusted that mechanism again.
I meant the sig to be a joke about batshit-crazy people, but after posting I realized it probably looks like an anti-gun comment about your sig, which I did not intend it to be.

I hadn't heard of them before. It looks like just the ticket! I'll certainly make use of the site.
To me, they're very different devices, and used very differently.
Yes, and although iPads can be used to read news, they still don't replace newspapers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeVyOKq-KXU

not only will the LHC destroy the earch, it will have done it before any of you ever existed.
That's why I arranged for the genetic soup I descended from to be sent to earth instead! :>

Without super fast motion set to Yakety Sax how else can they do all those upgrades in less than 10 minutes?
Oooh! Can they set up a web interface and charge money for us to shoot them!!!?

Does the axis shift if it can't be measured? We can know fair or balanced, but not both. :)

Okay, so I'm not very good at these.
Should I buy different tables for my HTC Android, for the PSP and the iPod?
I can't imagine Apple or Sony using a proprietary technology or connector when a standard exists.
Apple's devices only charge on the iTablette.
