Let's see.. answering "yes" gets them in the doghouse, pronto... answering "bo" gets then a federal contempt charge... Yup.. Doghouse, as any husband will tell you, anyday;-)
And Isaac Asimov led the pack. He didn't believe in the Orwellian idea, but rather the view in the foundation trilogy. With c3pO style robots. And A great planetary foundation, plus we've been going all over in ships. er.... Not.
If Unix were a religion then AT&T would surely be Satan! For rebelling and abandoning unix.... Honestly, somebody really had WAY too much time on their hands.. Somebody give Charlie Stross a job please;-)
That's a joke right? I couldn't tell if you were trying to be serious.. OK, have to 'fess up that until recently (the last 2 or so years), I was a huge OSX and Apple supporter... for 16 years, in fact.
Shades of "look! BeOS dual booting with Windows! Ain't Microsoft gonna be happy! OK.. I know it's not dual booting, but after M$' efforts to run signed apps only on their OS , I think they're going to fight this tooth and claw.. Certainly when they went after BeOS, we know what happened to that company. Shame. I REALLY liked that OS...
Whaat? What does the OP mean, "have we reached a point at which online retailers are expected to just swallow such costs for PR purposes, as part of doing web business ?" is an inflammatory comment.. typical/.. We never "reached" that point. We were alwayts there. It is standard practice , and may even be legislated where I live, to offer an item for the advertised rice, Once a transacion is finalised asnyways, the store can't magically just "change their minds". Are their online divisions somehow "special"?
Fact is, in the recent past, any other time the gov't wanted to change consumer behavior, they would have aeducational campaigns to "encourage" changes in behavior, rather than legislating the behavior, knowing that the latter causes real consumer backlash. This time however, they've chosen that (latter) path.. could a consortium of PACs, or worse, covert (although profitable) persuasion, have been applied instead? Smells funny to me....
Wow that sounds like poradise. Of course I always loved having to bundle up and hang together in the one warm room with fire, so I've been there before. Except WC time;-(
Doesn't burn out for years?? Actually, that's not my experience at all. The flourescent ones just crap out at about twice the rate of incandescant, and the new LED ones, bnever mind their awful light profile, also just die soon. They shouldn't, really, but they do. And they also get real hot, more than flourescent.
This next year, short of good writing and good actors, a young adult can easily get enough gear and money together to make a movie that will rival even Michael Bay explosion fests.
Er.. "short of good writing and good actors"..that sounds suspiciously like 90% of network programming out there ATM..
That's what is so great about the Church of Warminetics, and what distinguishes it from the dull "science" that preceded it. A scientific hypothesis is falsifiable, meaning that there is some set of data inputs that if observed in the field would render the hypothesis false. Now that unusually cold weather or unusually rainy weather is as valid a proof of warming as heat and drought, none may question the Maoist priesthood that threatens to yank the credentials of any researcher who threatens the apocalyptic Warmist message.
Indeed. Since all with opposing viewpoints are liars, our set of beliefs *must* be true
I for got to sday that iut also *proves* ours true.. It's kinds like I believe trees cause clobal warming. There. I've just proved it.
Isn't pseudoscience fun, children?;-)
Again sorry about the terrible typos. As I age everything stops working

I know what you mean, only 10 Celsius today in Canada, at least where I live, and now it has cooled down to 5C. Once again a green Christmas and warm winter, this after the extra dry warm autumn and record breaking dry late summer though temperatures never peaked like they do some years. Probably be another wet cool spring so we can laugh at the idea of global warming as 10% of the year was cooler and wetter then usual.
Vancouver Island isn't the center of the universe either, although it sho 'nuff feels like it to me;-)
But no commensurate disasters.. Oh we've had bad weather.. but it's been more like the us being the frog being boiled alive. We've adapted to these record tornados, floods etc, where they don't faze us enough...
Are you saying the government shouldn't have spent hundreds of thousand (or more) of dollars in legislators time and hundreds of thousands also in advertisi
ng to force financially strapped people to spend less on electrical power?
Speaking as an unemployed instrumental musician, I'd have to say.. er.. hell yes.. Instrumental music nowadays is all solely patched together loops, and prearranged samples, and more of the same.
If vitamins were any good for you they'd be occuring naturally in food. Much better to go with well researched substances like Valium and Levomethorphan.. enough of those darned "natural health" nuts...
If he could have been sure they could be trusted..He *might* have gone to those "inspectors generals or ocersight commitees" But the very info he had showed that nobody in the administration could be.. so that statement didn't wash.. and,, 60 people? Gimme a break!
Anybody who doesn't store their media on hard copy is getting what the asked for in a slight increase in convenience now (nothaving to bother burning it), for less later. There's plenty of programs that burn streaming mediia to backup, and they require little more than the push of a button.
No, but you can bet there are people sitting on exploits waiting for the security updates to stop.
Once that happens, their exploits will never be fixed and they've got free reign.
Yeah.. so for all intents and purposes it means they *do* self destruct
MAN, who cares what "label" you purt on it.. Fascism, Capitalism Communism.. Anyone who earns several hundred timers over what they need to maintain a very good lifestyle, and then invests their profits, as well as their main account, out of country, is a traitor who has no interest in the survival of the country they've just made their fortune in... and should be tried as such...

Interesting thought, and I have some on my electric scooter for the headlamps, and in fact they seem to be brighter in the cold..
