No, because remember this has nothing to do with keeping anyone safe. It's all about the theatrics. Security theatre is our policy, not actual safety. Besides, what do we really have to protect ourselves from? The threat of terrorism is as marginal and idiotic as the threat of getting cancer from a hair dye. It's merely a scare tactic to keep people jumping through as many pointless hoops as possible.
I feel the need to point out the HUGE difference between industrial patent technologies and a simple programming algorithm patented as IP. Actually I don't. If you don't understand the difference then I don't have the time, willingness, or patience to explain it to you.
This. I can't even begin to think of an equivocal thing that has happened throughout history. Perhaps union busting might come close, but for sweet jesus sake, the way these patent lawyers are working is just sickening. It's funny how you hear so much about tort reform and other such garbage from politicians but you don't hear a peep about patent trolling or the abuse of IP rights which is more of a hampering force on our economy than all of the malpractice lawsuits in the history of forever ever have been or will be.
It's funny to see how many tech companies are being sunk by the MBA bloat. Dell, HP, Microsoft, Micron, it's really kind of sickening. One of the single dumbest human beings I've ever met had an MBA and I don't think he was an aberration.
Man you don't need to go to New York or Chicago to get some top notch Pizza, you could go This place in Boise for some of the best pizza you'll ever put in your fat mouth.
it had horrible anti-tons of shit tacked onto it targeting tons of shit. It's not like the gun provision alone is what made or broke it. I'm not sad to see it die at any rate.
He is banned from practicing law in Spain but can still practice anywhere else in Europe. The reason he was unseated in Spain was for issuing illegal wiretaps on member of the government that were suspected of corruption. Kind of like if you pointed out some serious flaws in your supervisor's business plan and were then fired for it.
I more referring to the fact that should these actually be manufactured using fossil fuels that it would kind of obviate them as a replacement for them since the simple construction of them would be counterproductive to the whole "not using fossil fuels" line of solar power. Thanks for ruining it Professor Killjoke.
I'm in the same boat. There just have not been any huge leaps forward on the PC front to justify and overhaul. It's not like they've introduced a new form of hyper threading or multi-core processing and over all the industry trend seems to be leaning more towards leaner processing. which will only push the longevity of my current system even further. More than anything it's the general lack of major innovation that has kept me at my current level, and despite what the fanboys will say, Mac's haven't innovated anything truly useful lately either.

You need to put on your sunglasses first.

There will always be a market for premium hardware. This is just abjectly idiotic.

Compaq was acquired by HP some time ago.

I wish dell would have built something as durable as a Nokia in their time though...
**Spoiler Alert**
Not a fucking chance.
AMEN. They are also some of the largest organized criminal organizations on the planet as well.
If you give a man a gun he can rob a bank, if you give a man a bank, he can rob the world.
This. Is. Brilliant.

They should just call it Fox Newsing.

Seconded.

The really sad part about these is that they are made entirely out of fossil fuels. Not really.
YOU ARE MOM?
Not just tough on crime, but really against anything that would help anyone that isn't a "job creator".
No, he went back to your mom.
Dell Laptops are top of the line for sure, but the desktops are $hit.
