It's been a while since I've used a WYSIWYG editor, I had to go back through and clean out a lot of unnecessary garbage from the HTML and make a few modifications. For some complex designs, it worked better than doing it all in a text editor but those were more the exception than the rule.
Same goes for college exit interviews. Completely pointless. They wouldn't to me when I was going to school there, why should I care if they will or won't listen to me once I'm done.
Other notable inventions that have been misattributed: - Ogg invented the automobile (well, he used a roundish rock to move heavy stuff) - Alexander Graham Bell invented dial-up Internet - Hammurabi wrote the US Constitution - Pythagoras invented calculus - Newton invented the outhouse (let's face it, outhouses would suck without gravity)
Except JD isn't using its size to bully around the author... so no, not this time. Whether or not JD won doesn't much matter (especially since the author made out too).
It could be mistaken as being an official JD product. I assume JD sells merchandise (including books of some sort) in addition to the drinks themselves.
I would like to propose new legislation in which every time you file a lawsuit for patent, copyright or trademark infringement, you must send a bottle of a nice bourbon to the defendant.
When I was in college, I remember scientist in Japan announcing they had found a way to store data in bacterial DNA - every time the bacteria underwent mitosis, the data was also duplicated so when you want to read it again, you have billions of copies in case some are corrupted/mutated. The expected lifespan before the entire colony had corrupted data was extremely long - thousands or millions of years.
I see internal connectors (IDE/SATA) being easier to come up with than external connectors (USB/firewire) after that much time. There's still plenty of motherboards with a single IDE connector on them, but eventually they may start breaking compatibility with older versions of USB. By 2037, we might be on USB 8.0 that's only backwards compatible with 5.0 and later and you won't be able to find anything that will connect with 3.0. However, they still might stick a single SATA-II compatible connector on some motherboards for backwards compatibility. Of course, this is just assuming current trends for providing older interfaces holds up - hard to say where computers will be in 25 years. We might be standardized on some totally new technology not yet on the drawing boards or we might just have thin clients with no extra ports at all and do everything in the cloud.
A ten year old laptop with a CD drive (or a five year old one with DVD) is pretty cheap to include. I still have one computer with a 5.25"/3.5" combo drive and two more with just a 5.25" drive (no HDD). They last in storage excellent - I only use them a few times a year.
I had a tiny tupperware container (about 1/4 cup) that I had brought milk to school for some science thing (circa 4th grade). I never took it home and never cleaned it out, but it came in handy for giving people a big olfactory surprise. Kept it in my school bag for about two years, by which time the odor had faded quite a bit.
This wasn't his entire bonus, just a boost to his bonus for having Lenovo's best fiscal year yet. Still a good deed.
"Yang had earned $5.2 million in bonuses for the fiscal year ending in March. His total earnings, including salary, incentives and other benefits, amounted to $14 million, according to the company's annual report."
As I recall, there's a lot of American CEOs with a $1/yr salary. I think Lee Iacocca may have started that trend when he went to work for Chrysler (or at least he popularized it). Granted, these guys are already filthy rich and can live off their assets/investments alone but it's still a nice show of generosity.
The modern Swiss Guard is primarily the ceremonial guard for the Vatican, but they are soldiers from Switzerland (also single, male, between age 19 and 30, and Catholic). Although their regular uniforms are fairly normal (if a bit antiquated looking), their ceremonial uniforms make them look like they work at a vaguely Renaissance themed amusement park. I suppose it's sort of like the big burly biker with the heart tattoo with 'Mom' in it. Giggle at them from afar, but you wouldn't say anything to their face.
Never said slide-out keyboards were for everyone, was just wondering why the previous poster said they were stupid. It's like saying the Hyundai Accent is a stupid car because there's not enough leg room for me to fit in it. Sure, I'll never get one because it's not a good match for me, but it's not stupid.
What's stupid about slide-out keyboards? That was the #1 reason I got the phone I did. I can use a slide-out keyboard on my 3.2" screen phone with tactile feedback, or I can get some behemoth that no longer fits in my pocket and type at half the speed on the on-screen keyboard.
I got the LG Optimus Slider (3.2" screen) because it has the largest physical (sliderout) keyboard possible while still fitting comfortably in my pocket along with my keys and other stuff I carry all the time. I wouldn't mind a slightly taller phone (I have deep pockets), but I wouldn't want it to be any wider and certainly no thicker. My primary reason for a smartphone was email and some very light web browsing/GPS. Angry Birds works ok on it, but I'd be just as happy playing Tetris on my old Tracfone to pass the time. If I want to watch Netflix or use most apps, I'd be much more comfortable with my Nook Color (which still fits in my pocket, but only if you remove the cover and don't put anything else in the pocket).

I thought the G-Prize was being offered up by women to find a certain mythical place...
No, this is a new system called Trickle Up Poverty. They found it reaches the middle class faster if it goes up.
What about other JD merchandise? I could see someone thinking it was an official JD book.

I love CM7 on my Nook Color but it's not the most stable Android. If I didn't already have the NC, I'd jump on this.

But it uses the word "nano" so it must work.
Wait, there's a kind of silica gel that you should eat? Does it taste like soylent green? I love that stuff

So throw in a petri dish.
