Nothing is getting through email filters in the same quantity as in the past.
It's getting pointless to send anything from an account that isn't Gmail. And if filters aren't bad enough, most people I know out in meatspace don't respond to anything that isn't sent through Facebook. I feel like email is already dead except for the corporate world.
Just look at the amount of lint in the dryer lint filter. And just as much comes out of the washing machine if you put a lint trap on the discharge hose.
I bought a cheap Blu-Ray player at Best Buy that does streaming Netflix, Pandora, Blockbuster, and Youtube(?), for like $50. Also Blu-ray, DVD, CD, MP3 CD, or anything on a USB drive.
And my wife has no problems using it, unlike the Linux based media player that it replaced. I know I'm drinking the cool aid with a name brand proprietary device that supports HDCP, MPAA, RIAA, and WTF, but when she pushes the play button, it starts working. When she's happy, I'm happy.
Bullshit. I was writing and printing my homework assignments from a Mac before Windows 3.1 even came out (I was 8 at the time). Later on I also bought a cheap printer for my Amiga...
Geeks like us would have written papers using punched cards if that what it took. Normal average people would not be using computers for every day tasks without Windows.
... and I don't have to constantly justify to you my legit copy of Windows as legit... Could you please refund me the cost of MS-DOS 5, MS-DOS 5.1, Windows 3.0, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98SE, Windows XP.
Then again, there's not too much to admire about Bill Gates if you consider that the damage he's done with Windows may outstrip the philanthropic work he's done. I wonder how many homework assignments/theses etc have been lost to BSODs, and how much money people have lost to malware and zombie-assisted spam scams, etc.
Most normal people would probably have written their homework assignments and thesis on typewriters if it wasn't for Bill Gates. Dislike him and his product all you want, but computers would not be a mainstream household appliance today if it wasn't for Microsoft Windows.
Seriously. Gates is the only one on the list that isn't a political or religious figure. The drop off in percentages is striking as well. Here's the list:
I've got news for you, but Glen Beck is not a political figure. He holds no public office. Nobody's voted for him. He is a talk show host. And he's not nearly as popular as he seems to think he is. I'm a crazy right wing nut job and I can't stand him.
We all kinda hoped he would do something about the, you know, TORTURE. But not only did he not go after the torturers in the previous regime, HE KEPT ON DOING IT. It was at that point that all the hardcore lefties went, "Oh. Whoopsie
Obama was very clear during his campaign that he would step up the war in Afghanistan. Why is anyone surprised?
We don't live in a nation with Napoleonic Law you dickwads! One is innocent until proven guilty.
Go back to Fox News and eat your pablum like a good village idiot.
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
That's the Constitution of the United States. Not that it's followed much anymore, but I'm really disappointed that he's not being tried for the crime of treason. Instead of a couple of years in Club Fed with three meals a day, he should be convicted and hanged.
I hope if that man ends up on American soil that the citizens of this country (US) riot and raise fucking hell. What our government plans to do is wrong, it's illegal, and they know it. So does every citizen and every member of the press.
Not all citizens of this country (US) share your opinion.
four months into the two-year contracts, they pull that unlimited rug out from under and substitute a paper placemat with puzzles on the back.
They can't hold you to a contract if they've substantially changed the terms. If they did eliminate unlimited plans, they'd have to release your obligation or grandfather your unlimited service. That's basic contract law.
Read the Rendezvous With Rama series books from Arthur C. Clarke. In one of the later books, people of the Earth are asked to volunteer for a large one-way mission. Not enough people volunteer so they tap prisons to make up the difference. It doesn't end well.
China's power is there is no individual, there is only the state. Need a new bridge? Seize houses. New factory? Take land. We need to realize what we are up against and adjust our outdated ideals about business.
How long can China realistically keep that up? Manufacturing in the U.S. is so damned expensive because you can't just dump your industrial waste into the nearby stream. China is enjoying a 1st world economy with 3rd world living conditions. It'll catch up with them eventually.

I always wanted to do that during one of W's speeches. Every time he says "Nu-kyoo-ler", everybody drinks. Preferably something potent.

Oh, forgot to mention, the whole site is NSFW.
Go to rotten.com and read the article on W. Might change your mind.
Nice. That's probably better than whatever they come up with.
Not enough, damned expert's exchange! I had to download a grease monkey script and everything, seriously screw those guys.

A 3/4" bit on a hammer drill will pretty much take care of it.

How many of those did you pay for?

An employer needs to secure their network, and that includes all devices connected to the network. ALL OF THEM.
I hear this all the time, but if the network is so delicate that a random machine can cause a problem, then there is a problem with the network.
That's just what I want, to support 30 or 40 different models, brands, or hell even architectures.
The less "support" I get, the better. The developers' cubicles should be off-limits to corporate IT.
No, we decided that if we were going to be oppressed, we could at least bask in the small luxury of complete sentences.
Still think it was Obama vs. Bush in 2008, huh?
Oh, and have a listen to Obama in the rare occasion he's not reading from a teleprompter. Not much better than Bush.
But at least he can pronounce "Nuclear".
We all kinda hoped he would do something about the, you know, TORTURE. But not only did he not go after the torturers in the previous regime, HE KEPT ON DOING IT. It was at that point that all the hardcore lefties went, "Oh. Whoopsie

I think the hepatitis vacinne is the most dangerous of the common vaccines now, and it just gives you joint-pain for a few days if you are unlucky.
Joint pain?!? I had that vaccine when I went back to college in my twenties, and a few years later my hair started falling out!!!1
That's clbuttic.
