But we're not talking about violence or a nipple or booby: we're talking about cartoons that would appear in your Sunday paper. Satire of public figures is nothing that the anti violence or anti-sex crowd would have a problem with - just which community standard is against satire and making fun of public figures?
How would they get sued? If someone were to sue them then they'd have to sue the papers and everywhere else this man's cartoons appear. That would be a daunting task.
I just see Apple being a bit too control freaky here.
The last eruption was in 1821 and lasted 2 years... you better get yourself some train tickets if you want to travel in Europe!
Actually, volcano or no volcano, traveling Europe by train is the way to go.
Back when times were good for me, I went to Switzerland, left my luggage in the room, bought a rail pass, left really early, picked a train route, and stopped at every little town the train stopped - and had a beer when I could. Saw some beautiful scenery, pissed off a conductor (I couldn't tell the difference between first and second class! He knew to speak English to me too right off the bat- go figure.), and had the best time.
I just wish Amtrack wasn't the joke that it is. We could do the same here in the US.
The only difference between the Reps and Dems are the bones they throw to us little people to get elected and then when in office, they serve their true masters.
It's not the $20! It's the baby! Getting a baby to hang the motion tracking device on will be an issue.
I mean, do you rent it? Adopt it? Make your own? - which means getting a woman...
It's the chicken and egg problem*. If you are pushing a baby in a stroller in a supermarket, women will come up and talk to you. I remember thinking when my kids were babies and I took them to the store "damn, why didn't I have one of these when I was single?"
* the egg came first.
And then what? Ask them, "Do you want to help me make another one?"
Apple can essentially treat the CPU as a commodity—and this will enable them to continually adjust 'make vs buy' strategies, wield incredible power over suppliers, and build a long-term halo around their platform.
I found that to be very interesting. Instead of the old strategy of having multiple kernels for each processor out there and having the customer choose which version they want, Apple is doing the choosing; which puts them in the driver's seat.
The Micro kernel type of software design never really seemed to take off - Intel killed off or sidelined the other CPU suppliers and it made the Micro kernel a moot point and made Intel the dominant CPU maker out there. AMD still has to follow Intel's lead, btw.
What Apple is doing.....Intel should be very afraid of the future. Apple also needs to be careful because many of their innovations are going to be copied - they will have to protect that brand vehemently.
The Workplace Shell was built on SOM - System Object Model. You would need the runtimes ported to Linux to support all of that.
SOM programming was a pain in the ass: code an IDL, precompile and get C header file from Hell (it was akin to the first C++ precomilers that would implement everything in C), link, and then there was a binding operation - IIRC. For the WPS, you'd create a dll that would extend it - your application was really a dll that was run by the desktop. It did allow multi threading BUT it was all in the same address space meaning, a bad app took out the whole desktop.
In a nutshell, GNOME and KDE is better than what IBM had invented 18 years ago.
Oh God! You sound like you have one of those managers that gets off on acting like a manager. Meaning, he likes the self important BS like meetings to pump up his pathetic ego. So instead of being a manager and clearing the way for you guys to actually do your jobs, he's wasting your time so that he appears to be a manager.
I had one like that years ago. He was a new supervisor on track to management - suit pants, button down shirt - no tie, tasseled shoes, drank whatever Kool-Aid that was offered by upper management, took every "leadership" and "time management" class offered, etc....
To succeed in the long term and at scale, stream-of-consciousness management must be supplemented in the following ways:
All of you using IRC and email now have experience in "stream-of-consciousness management". Don't forget or otherwise the resume scanners will pass you over and when you're in the first interview, the HR drone will say you don't have up to date skills and chuck your resume away.
We also need to study other planets and their atmospheres and their geology to help understand ours. With global climate change, any and all data we can get will help. After all, some of the other planets show the extremes of where a planet can go.
Building spaceships and sending folks around the solar system is a nice engineering goal, but it's not the right time or for the right reasons. Proving one's prowess as a country to send folks to other planets just for the sake of sending people to other planets isn't a worthy goal. And if we really need to bring back samples, robots are the way to go.
here is no way that a) Downey is going to agree to doing an ensemble picture as a bit player after headlining 2+ Iron Man movies, or b) That the studio is going to spring for the big money it would take to hire him, just for an ensemble role in a risky new franchise.
Don't be too sure about that.
We don't know what kind of deal he has going with the studios. Nor do we know what his intentions are. I've seen big name actors take bit parts due to: favors, desire to work, or wanting to work with someone that they've always wanted to work with.
Eddie Murphy did Bowfinger because he is a fan of Steve Martin. Tom Cruise worked for scale on Rainman to work with Hoffman. Sean Bean shows up in weird places with different sized parts all the time. And Downey did do a cameo in Hulk - granted it was part of a grander plan for some future super hero movies, but never the less, he did it.
There are countless times where you see a big name in credited and uncredited appearances in movies doing small parts.
I'm very very confused. Your link is to a Lady Gaga video - "Telephone". Not that I'm against seeing hot chicks dancing and Gaga's music is pretty damn good (she's actually a very gifted classical musician), but what's your point?
And I think Apple should go all Harley Davidson: create a line of branded attire so even you can't afford the underlying product, you can be a poser - actually the "Harley Bikers" are posers, but that's another post.
Apple should come out with a Steve Jobs Signature clothing line: black faux turtle necks, pre-wornout jeans, rimlesss glasses, anti-Rogain to give pattern baldness, etc...
They'll make more money on that than on the computers!
I don't see a problem with that. But now you get into the whole monopoly thing and past court decisions and that's a whole different ball of wax than Apple.
There's more accidents in Metro Atlanta too - it was reported in the AJC a few years ago.
I'm torn about the red light cameras. I've seen too many times zipperheads blowing through the light when oncoming traffic is moving and in the intersection. Just what are those people thinking! I have had people behind me go around me to run a red light after I stopped for it.
My brother was t-boned by a moron who ran a red light.
And even then the red light cameras don't seem to do much! Windy Hill Rd there's a big sign that says "Red Light Camera" and I've seen people still run it!
"When you start getting into a heavier crew transfer vehicle and a dedicated launch facility, it's over a billion dollars, but less than two," Mr. Gass said. Those improvements "should be funded by the U.S. government" without additional investment from Boeing and Lockheed, he said.
Here's one of those times where I find it hard to tell if he's not thinking "outside the box" or if he understands the business better than the upstarts. In other words, does he know something from experience that the upstarts don't or do the upstarts know something that this guy never considered?
After deciding that it was hopeless dealing with my neighbor, I went to call city hall. I left something like five different messages with the department that I presumed was responsible. At some point, while waiting on hold and getting different answers about what I could do,...

After that, make sure someone is receiving an alert. If you go to your neighborhood or city, you can click the "Who's Watching" tab and you can see if your mayor or your public works department is already receiving alerts. And if not, you can sign them up. The last step is just reporting issues.

Anyone else hear the Indiana Jones Theme after reading the parent?
I don't know dude. I didn't see any picture.
Chairman Jobs? Ooooo, I like that! Too bad he wasn't also Chairman of the Board! Then the title would have a double meaning.
How would they get sued? If someone were to sue them then they'd have to sue the papers and everywhere else this man's cartoons appear. That would be a daunting task.

Nah, this is just waaaayyy too difficult!
They're probably sitting there wondering why they don't receive anything either.
Because we're sitting around playing video games?
(Spent some years of my life working on IBMs C++ compiler for OS/2.)
I apologize for all the horrible things I said about your team and product while I was there: WPS FVT Boca. ;-)
