...Ireland has shamefully voted Yes with reservations... No, if you read further, you'll see that Ireland voted No with comments. For some reason, the NSAI somehow interprets this to mean qualified approval.
"After months of intensive review, analysis and discussion, NSAI has voted Disapproval - with Technical Comments, in respect of the OOXML submission. This effectively is a qualified yes, whereby Ireland has some technical issues with the submission. If the Technical Comments are satisfactorily resolved and incorporated into a new draft, the vote is subsequently amended to Approval."
...I have done a bit of research into all of the "documented objections to process and procedure" which have ever been initiated by interns... I think you've neglected to include the objection from Monica Lewinsky
Why don't you just call people what they want to be called? Well, I'd like my race to be called "super-amazing people from East of the ocean". There are a million and a half other residents just in the city where I live, you might like to consult them all.
The primary purpose of verbal communication is to convey information. It is for the benefit of the speaker and the listeners, not for the subject of the conversation. It is polite to make an attempt not to insult the subjects of a conversation, but let's not be incomprehensible in the attempt to be politically correct.
My buddies probably understand what I mean when I say "It's besside the asian guy". If that upsets somebody, it's their problem. Any term to describe more than on person is going to insult somebody.
It may be important to realize that non-US citizens dont actually have rights granted to them by the United States constitution. Actually, although I'm not a lawyer, I think you're wrong here. For example, my country's constitution grants rights to people such as asylum seekers. I imagine the US is similar.
Certain articles of the US constitution are specific to US citizens, for example Article XIX:
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
However, other articles would seem to grant rights to all people, regardless of whether they are US citizens or not. Thsi pops up in the Bill of Rights:
"No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."
This would seem to apply to me, a non-US citizen, if I was resident in the US. More generally, I would guess that it also refers to citizens of foreign countries in which there is a US military presence.
Sure iTunes isn't the absolute cheapest way to get it, but the tradeoff of price/convenience seems reasonable to me. I would have thought that until recently, but now I appreciate having:
1) lossless sound encoding on my good audio equipment 2) a physical backup, also lossless 3) an asset that can be re-sold when I no longer want it.
The way I look at it, with a CD I get all three of the above, and it costs no more than a lossy data file from iTunes that can't be re-sold.
I'm not at all enthusiastic about Vista either. But I'm resigned to the fact that at some point, I will be installing it, and I probably will like it.
For me, it's been the same all the way back to Windows 95. When I bought a machine with Windows 95, the first thing I did was reformat it and put on DOS and Windows 3.1 (partly because I needed 16-bit windows for a specific project, but also because I didn't like Win95). Guess what - at the time, everybody was grumbling about Win95 being too heavy, slow for gaming, basically DOS with a flashier GUI.
I felt the same about Win98, WinME, and WinXP (not Win2000, I thought that was actually worth installing). However, I did end up installing each one, and I eventually liked them.
So here we go, another heavy, slow operating system that I don't like, will eventually install, and will eventually like.

If this webapp. survives a lot of geeks messing and hacking about in that virtual machine I'd be very tempted to label this as a very interesting experience when it comes to the Java robustness factor. There's no danger to the virtual machine. The emulator and disc images are all run within the browser. So each browser receives its own emulated memory space and fresh disc images. No processing occurs on the server (except for serving the application code and disc images to the browser).
Your interrogators will just keep pushing you, and you can give them as many passwords as you want, even as many as you can remember or as exist, and they will keep on torturing you until you die Are they the lyrics for a Morrissey song?
Well, as you're implying, Forbes aren't surprised. It's all economics. Forbes must think they can sell more issues by writing about high game prices than by writing about the price of trout in Belgium.
I know this is not a reasonable comparison, as Windows can't open 15 apps at a time And the Mac doesn't have 15 apps. Unless you mean 15 instances of Photoshop?
If you run closed-source software on your machine, then you deserve everything you get support that isn't limited to that old open-source favourite advice, "RTFM"?
I've often wondered about advertised prices in the US. Why is it the pre-tax price that is shown to the consumer? Surely the consumer needs to know the total amount of cash they have to hand over, rather than the amount the vendor will have after passing the tax portion on the the government.
when you have to connect it to something, it's not wireless. quit wasting my time. Wifi is termed "wireless" - even though your 802.11-enabled router is plugged into the wall, and is probably externally connected via an ethernet cable. Your reply might be "Yes, but I can receive a signal on my laptop without the laptop requiring a cable". Well, the same applies here. Your phone can charge without needing a cable plugged into it.
What's the deal with you people? I have seen engineers take apart the most difficult situations. You have the format in your hands. It's ugly and crappy, go figure. Just get it done and stop bitching. Why is everyone so lazy? Jeff, is that you? Haven't seen you much since you became a project manager. Congrats on getting the MBA!
Stay home, too many foreigners here anyway, most of them here ILLEGALLY. We don't want you or your money. Go somewhere else. Who is the "We" you mention? When I visit the U.S.A. I find almost everybody to be extremely polite and welcoming.
Here in Finland we bought old C-model F18 Hornets.
Hah! If you want to take that approach, have the common sense to go the whole way, like Ireland did. Buy aircraft that don't have any software at all. Also, features like "guns" are much overrated. Cessna, anybody?;)
Fortunately, at the end of the clip, he said he'd put the recording on his blog, and the representative said that was fine.
The likely outcome of all this is that Verison's representatives will be told not to allow recordings of conversations to be made. If there was no recording of this conversation, we'd have no story, and there'd be no proof for any small-claims court.
Or you can alert management to the cell phone offender that's bothering you so much.
By then, the self-important asshat has already bothered the rest of the audience.
If you really need to be tied to your phone 24/7, then you already avoid the wilderness, underground carparks, hospital surgeries, airplanes, the subway (not sure about that one?) and probably a host of other locations. Surely it would be mannerly to add theaters and cinemas to that list, to avoid annoying large groups of people?

Shame really, radio hardware can be tony, and costs almost nothing.

Yep, except it takes a *lot* of exercise to produce a dollar worth of energy.

Is there some reasoning I'm missing?
1. Being well educated and having your health cared for, but having to think hard about whether or not to buy an expensive games console.
2. Stores having games consoles at cheaper prices, but many citizens being unable to afford either good education or health care
