>>>As a kid, my favorite thing, was those plates that had compartments..so that one food didn't touch the other food.
I used to be like that, but once I get to college they just dumped the food on my plate haphazardly. I still don't want peas IN my mashed potatoes, but I no longer care if they touch one another...... or if a pea rolls into the turkey and gets gravy on it.
BTW spaghetti with a side of fries sounds okay to me. Both have the same thing in common: Seasoned with ketchup.;-)
I tried Domino's today and their tomato sauce did NOT "pair" well with the cheese (too spicy/strong). Next time I'll try marinara sauce or goback to Pizza Hut.
I also don't like the so-called Sweet & Sour chicken my asian friends sometimes feed me. Just straight sweet is my preference.
Frankly I could care less if they are recording me in a public venue. I'll just carry my camera and record them right back. (The iPhone 4 has a 720p camera right? Maybe it's time to invest in one.)
I didn't start reading science fiction until 9th grade so that's what..... 14? A friend told me to read Foundation's Edge. Prior to that point I mostly *watched* science fiction like Star Trek and Buck Rogers.
Back at age 8 I was more interesting in REAL science rather than fiction. Here's what I used to read back then:
>>>It worked very well for desktop Windows - Microsoft writes the minimum requirements in order to force hardware manufacturers/OEMs to actually make powerful devices,
And this is what we call "spin". Also known as "false". With every WinOS released (except 7) Microsoft wrote the requirements to make it EASY for manufacturers to qualify with older hardware. Like when they claimed XP could run on 64 meg (but it ran like a snail). Or that Vista could run on 512 meg, but instead made my brother's new P4 PC randomly freeze for 2-3 minutes (while vista thrashed the HD swapfile). Microsoft has always *under* specced their OSes to try and boost sales for older computers that barely run the poorly-coded memory hog.
Vice-versa Apple sells hardware, so they tend to over spec their OS requirements, in order to make older machines obsolete and force an upgrade if you want the new OS (or the latest Safari or latest iTunes). Example: When I tried to upgrade to 10.4 and discovered my 400 MHz Mac was blocked by Apple ("does not meet minimum specs"). I found an online hack to override Apple's block (an illegal act under DMCA) and discovered 10.4 worked just fine on my machine. Apple was just trying to force me and others to buy new machines.
QUOTE: "Microsoft tirelessly pushed the idea that its saving grace, the Nokia Lumia 900, was the next big thing in smartphones. However, the fact that the Lumia 900..... won't be able to update will undoubtedly leave some owners of these devices feeling hung out..... Without the software update, potential customers will basically have no reason to snag a Lumia 900, a Titan II, or any other Windows Phone device for that matter, until Windows Phone 8 is available."
This move reminds me of when Apple stopped supporting PPC devices. The article says WinPh8 won't support single-core devices. I wonder why? That would be equivalent to them releasing Windows 7 and saying, "Won't support Pentium 4 or other single-cores."
I spy sarcasm with my little eye. - I didn't know Wikileaks launched a social network. So too did Alex Jones with PlanetInfowars. And of course google started one a few months ago. "Launching social websites" must be the new fad.
You people with your name-calling and missing the target. Two days ago I was called a "Sky father believer". Yesterday a "homophobic racist". Now a Fox News viewer. (1) I'm agnostic. (2) I have multiple friends who are gay or lesbian, plus all the various colors of humanity. (3) I don't waste my money on cable, and therefore never watch Fox News or DNCNBC.
Stop with the name-calling. You keep missing the mark.
"From time to time the Tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson. Also I note your example is about KENYA, so why is the U.S. trying to get ahold of Assange? He didn't kill any U.S. soldiers.... all he did was reveal that the military had executed several reporters (by accident), and they were lying to the families and saying they don't know what happened to the corpses. The families Deserved to know why their fathers/sons disappeared. (The American people deserved to know as well... that war is hell and innocents get slaughtered.)
>>>women in liberal arts, history, biology, and languages, as well as architecture
They marry the engineers, and then stay home (or work parttime) while the husband struggles to earn enough money to keep the house afloat. I have an ex who studied biology, went all the way to a Masters Degree, and now teaches 2 classes per week. Basically her parents spent ~$150,000 for 7 years of schooling, so she could get a ~$10,000 a year parttime job.:-o. The husband makes all the real money to support the house & kids & wife. (She'd have made more lifetime income just working at Walmart with a high school diploma.)
>>>the ownership of capital, especially the means of production, by private interests.
Yes that too. Are you saying I should Not have a mini-factory in my basement where I produce R/C model airplanes & sell them to interested customers? How communist of you. LOL. I guess I'll just have to go black market then.
Non-relevant. You said "The Top 100 since about 1990 has been nothing but pop singles and one-hit wonders (for the most part)." and that is clearly Not true. Goto wikipedia and look through the Year-End Hot 100 of recent years.... there's lots of urban, R&B, rap, country, rock, alternative. Not just pop.:-)
As for 1-hit wonders, they are becoming rarer as more singers are racking-up 2 or more hit songs. OH and the 70s... I've listened to almost all of the 1970-79 year-end charts and found it mostly boring. Music that I would listen to if I wanted to sleep. "Yooooou liiiight up my life...." Really?
>>>I can't wait for the day when the person's sex doesn't matter in what they do.
Yeah well I'll stop looking at women and saying "cute", when THEY stop looking at posterior and saying, "Nice butt." It's not just the ladies who get judged by appearance.
+1. I was aboout to post the same thing. This is a BLOG that is filled with nothing but speculation to induce fear, uncertainty, and doubt about what Microsoft MIGHT do to lock-out devices. It was a waste of my time to read. 1/10 stars.
The final paragraph should have been the/. summary: "Free software won't completely go away, of course. There's too much back-end functionality in too many IT sectors for that to ever happen. But with the rise of thin clients and the app store gateways, end users may have a harder time finding and installing free software for their personal or business use."
>>>The Top 100 since about 1990 has been nothing but pop singles and one-hit wonders (for the most part).
Actually the Top 100 has had MORE variety since the 90s (when Top40 radio split into various genres). The 70s Year-end 100 is dominated by disco and love/pop songs with very little rock. 80s is a mix or rock and pop . The 90s charts have dance, alternative, rock, and country. The 2000s have become even more varied with dance, alternative, rock, country, rap, and urban.
>>>Spotfiy, Slacker radio, Rhapsody, etc. pretty much all cost $10 per month.
I didn't think you could pick some random song and play it though? Not like I can do with my personal bought collection. And yeah the cost would be $11,000 on iTunes but if you buy a Greatest Hits CD it's closer to 70 cents per song acquired.
Plus it seems kinda strange to buy that many songs. I doubt anybody listens to all those! My collection would have cost ~$2000 on iTunes... cheaper than a lifetime rental... and a lot of the songs I don't play due to lack of time.
>>>You bitch on slashdot about how people should not be permitted to post anonymously
I bitch about *registered* users posting anonymously. The only reason they do that is so they can post Attacks or trolls and not harm their UserID. (As for guests, I could care less.)
Not really. Capitalism is based upon the selfish desire to make money. I have an iPhone I don't want... my goal is to sell it for as much money as I can get. Viceversa you want an iPhone but want it as cheaply as possible. We are both being selfish in our desires, but that's how capitalism works. Ironically it is through this selfishness that progress happens (you get your iPhone, and I get ~$300 to buy myself a shiny new android linux.... which gives some Chinese assembler a job).
When I see him on Russia Today or Alex Jones, he comes across as if he is. (shrug). I'm glad he's on the libertarian side of the diamond. All his articles are spot on: http://mises.org/daily/author/205/Jeffrey-A-Tucker
I propose alternative idea, and it's the same reason why we see more male Ph.Ds than female Ph.Ds in the sciences:
- Women recognize a deadend, inherently unsocial job when they see one.
I know if I could turn-back time I'd choose a different career. Ph.D is extremely low-paying relative to the amount of work to get it (assuming you don't just flunk out as many do). And programming is high-paying but is basically a dead end career with long hours & little social interaction (except with your computer). And after age 40, the companies start discriminating against you, so all the effort of learning is for nought when you get laid off & can't find another job.
>>>He is in trouble for obtaining a sex act that the other partner did not consent to
Som she claims. Several days later. AFTER she found-out the Assange was two-timing her. If you believe this woman you're really gullible, and I have a 6 GHZ laptop you might be interested in.
