You don't "own" the content on an LP or 8-Track either. You have a limited, non-commercial license that's tied to the physical media the music sits on. 'twas ever thus.
At this point, I've pretty much given up on buying DVDs. I haven't watched any "extras" in a few years, and don't find myself re-watching them very often.
That's what I did when I worked from home full time. Walked up the street to grab a coffee to go, came back home and started my work day. It got me out of the house and into "work mode" when I got back. That job, our entire team was spread across the continent, the only person even in my city was one of the writers.
I went to my local Starbucks a year or two ago, and my order came out to $3.66 after tax. I gave the cashier $5.16
She looked at it. Added it up. Said to me with a bit of hesitation "You gave me..." I said "$5.16" She asked me if that was right? I said yes.
She punched the $5.16 into the register, it calculated the change, and she gave it to me, still with a bit of a puzzled look on her face.
She was in her 40s I'd say, so certainly not some recently graduated teenager.
I think she was trying to figure it out in her head but just couldn't do the subtraction, which made me wonder: if she wasn't all that great at math, why not just let the machine do all the work?
Toronto's transit system bought a bunch of natural gas-powered buses a decade or so ago, and they were great until the price of NG skyrocketed. Those are gone, and we now have hybrid electric ones, which seem to work just fine. NG is not a mass-market vehicle fuel.
Steve Jobs parked in the handicapped spots in his company-owned, ie. privately-owned, parking lots. The tow trucks don't get called unless the owners call, and why would they tow the CEO's car?

I used to get those all the time on my Mac and just laugh. Then they made a special OS X-looking one.

They'll be here soon enough :) Now if only Apple could do something about the dreadful state of the video cards available...
You and this "Eric" are 2 cunts in a pod.
I heard people doing that at my last job, too. Mostly they sounded like they were talking to their wives.
Like a ninja?
He stopped, collaborated, and listened!

Heh, "Trust Nature." The same one that fills Australia with loads of really poisonous creatures? :)
The "spoonful of sugar" was to help the medicine go down, it wasn't the medicine itself.
Remember: if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate!
No, use the iPad to read things. Just turn on Airplane mode so the notifications don't pop-up. Or turn them off. Or get an attention span.
Because a lot of it was wrong to begin with.
Agreed. I had his "Art of Empire Strikes Back" portfolio pics up on my wall when I was a kid :)

Sure. Who'll support an entire district's load of cheap, crappy machines?
They're clearly not going to buy Airs for kids.
It was 49.7 days: http://news.cnet.com/Windows-may-crash-after-49.7-days/2100-1040_3-222391.html
And still inexcusable.
Goes down, enormous blow job.
Only on the way back up, though!
Most of European's petrol price is taxes. That's not the case in the US.
Canadian Tire is switching to a loyalty card/rewards system. They'll still take the funny money, but you'll get a better return with the card: http://www.vancouversun.com/story_print.html?id=6156461
You can, silly. They generally have an ID number behind a foil seal that you can use to the balance online.
We have top men working on this.
Top. Men.
