I have a similar problem. Countless items (generally larger items) can't be shipped to my location. Apparently, Amazon treats Alaska the same as Canada.
And if someone pulls a gun and starts shooting civilians, you probably think the cops shouldn't shoot back because that's punishment reserved for the courts. Sometimes you need to respond to force with force.
This is unrelated to the Rodney King beating, those guys were a bunch of assholes.
Dear AC,
I don't give a damn about what's better for the economy. I am not going to advocate for killing retired people, or turn a blind eye to issues that cause them to die.
Can we stop all this amps and voltage nonsense? They are proportional to each other. Higher voltage gives higher current. The only way high voltage is safe is if the power source can't support the large current draw. Then you don't get the current because the battery dies. If you don't believe me, feel free to go grab some 110 kV power lines.
You're source is some dude on a forum listing his idea of slang terms for Marijuana?
"Hashish, often known as 'hash', is a cannabis preparation composed of compressed and/or purified preparations of stalked resin glands, called trichomes, collected from the unfertilized buds of the cannabis plant. It contains the same active ingredients—such as THC and other cannabinoids—but in higher concentrations than unsifted buds or leaves." source
You will not find a seller willing to offer hash for the same cost per weight as marijuana. This is because it is not the same thing, but it is a related item.
This line of thought leads to only being able to drive at your peak of functioning. for example, if people aren't as alert a driver if they haven't slept in a long time, too bad, so sad, they can't drive. Then people won't be able to drive for an hour after they wake up. Then some study says people that don't eat enough vegetables aren't as alert and capable of driving. Then we can't drive unless we eat our veggies! What kind of nanny state is that you are suggesting?
The point you're missing is that I personally don't want a charms bar. I want the ability to display multiple windows, running multiple tasks, on my multicore desktop machine. I don't want bells. I don't want whilstles. I just want an OS.
The desktop is there for this. Although, isn't the entire concept of a GUI "bells & whistles".
You can access search with one click or a keyboard shortcut (win+q)
Where as in previous version, you just needed to press the windows key and start typing. I could have done that with one click too, but I'd much prefer to have a single keyboard shortcut.
This still works, hit Windows key and type to search
Any new user of Windows 8 is instructed where this charm bar is the first time they sign on to Windows 8, so it's hardly a mystery as to where it is and how to access it.
Great and all that, but you know what? I've been using MS products since the early 90's. I don't need an OS that decides to change the layout of everything, just so it can try to treat me like an idiot. Jesus, even my 70 year old mother has had enough experience of windows to not need hand holding anymore. Who exactly have they made this for? It's not easier to use. It's not practical. It's just a crap design, and nothing more.
I'd say describing finding search in a classic desktop application as a scavenger hunt is more apt. Is it on the toolbar? help menu? file menu? edit menu? is it called search or find?
Maybe they could have just left it in the same fucking place it's been for over a decade?
The charms are kind of dumb, but it's the way they implemented the functionality of a windows menu bar in a full screen app.
This is going too far. Any pro MS comment is labelled a shill by nut jobs around here. It seems clear to me that you are a paid shill to bad mouth MS in favor of alternatives. Oh wait, maybe that's just normal disagreements and discussion among people around the world.
You don't have to use or even like Windows 8. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them a shill. I personally have no issues with Win8, it works. If there're technical reasons that make it inferior, I am not aware of them (besides UI design choices)
My question was, for people that have been storing lots of images on Facebook, how easy is it to get those images back out to migrate to a different system? If you need your audience to follow the move that is a concern too.
Why are you giving the students the final photoshop file with all the layers? Just give them a jpg with all the layers compressed, and put a big fat watermark on it so they can't use it for anything.
Modern humans don't have to figure out and prove all the science, engineering, math, etc. that has already been done. We definitely have more knowledge and can apply that knowledge to do amazing things humans couldn't think of thousands of years ago, but is our inherent intelligence higher? or is it lower as TFA suggests?
How easy or difficult would it be to copy your pictures out of Facebook? (I'd say move instead of copy, but Facebook will undoubtedly keep copies of them)
I have to agree with Mr. Cuban then. What good is posting any information on Facebook if only a random subset of your friends will see it? You can post things, doing what you can to share with other people, but Facebook will determine if they get to see it?

Or you could run XP with a non-administrator account. Helps prevent infections. Even if you do get one, you can just blow away the infected profile.

Thanks for this. I always wondered why Fry's electronics was using the Outpost.com domain.

It also wouldn't be fair to take a sample that can show a positive result when at the time of driving there was no impairment.

cannabis is not known as hash. Hash is a product produced from cannabis flowers.
That's true, but then you don't have to do as the GP says and factor the OS cost into the price.
Isn't the $40 for an upgrade version. That won't work unless you get an older version of Windows running first.
And someone has to turn the robot on. That isn't a fine enough distinction to separate cruise missiles from robots.
Where have you been? I've been seeing IE ads for months. They've also had some heavy media pushes at times. Win 95 and XP, I believe, had big pushes.
Your list is good, but I think it would be rather trivial to find an enterprise level alternative to SQL Server.

I don't think this is a woosh. Unless bfandreas posts back saying he did indeed know the Mavs are a basketball team.

Yeah, I have an idea. They would not let the state secede. That is the precedent set by previous administrations.
