I smoked when I was a teenager, quit in my twenties and went back to it a few years ago. I hung out with a few people that smoked cigars and thought I would never go back to cigarettes. After a few weeks my brain said "HELLO OLD FRIEND" to the nicotine.
I just quit 5 weeks ago and I can tell you it isn't just nicotine that keeps you smoking. I used nicotine lozenges to quit this time, but there was still a lot of willpower needed. I ate those lozenges like they were candy but I still felt a lot of withdrawal symptoms. Something besides nicotine keeps you smoking cigarettes.
I feel vaping, while a stupid fad, might get people to stop smoking. I don't trust the vape product people but if you need some cool new thing to quit maybe it's OK. You might go from vaping to smoking, but you might also keep using the gum or lozenges. I doubt it. I only know one person who used nicotine gum to quit and kept chewing the gum.
Netscape, the company, was destroyed by Microsoft's antics.
If being bought by AOL for 4.5 billion dollars is being destroyed then sign me up! AOL on the other hand, did nothing with Netscape. They could have rolled it into the AOL software giving it a big boost in market share. They could have made the Netscape home page the most valuable page in the world.
This is the kind of environment that the gun-control nuts want to create for the rest of us ?
I hear the NRA thinks we should be investigating video games and movie. Last I heard there were such things as movie and game ratings, but the NRA hates gun control... ANY gun control. That's what the NRA wants: No bounds on any weaponry but Tom and Jerry can be blamed for the violence in the country.
The CONSERVATIVES RULE the airwaves for non-PC talk. Even Springer and Stern are "Right" shows because they treat their subjects as "freak of the week" while shouting "look how offensive I am!"
You clearly haven't been listening to Stern. Howard Stern is PRO abortion (not pro choice) and PRO gay. He treats his guests with respect even if he thinks they're bat shit crazy.
Wait... aren't we talking about the same iOS that gets jailbroken like clockwork still?
Do you understand that they need to have physical access to jailbreak a phone. It's not a jailbreak from a phone call or an email. Do you understand how computers work?
Since when is a teacher solely responsible for students grades. Can teachers kick unruly students out of class if they choose? Can teachers turn the TV or video games off until children have done their homework? Is there a report card for parents? Can any of you say that you've always tried your best in school? When you didn't, did you blame your teacher?
Judging teachers solely by students grades is unfair.
Why buy a Mustang when you can buy a Fiesta from the same company? Because they're different!
Please don't insult us by saying that Win7 is just as good as OSX. The hardware is better and the software is better. I drive a Accord but won't begrudge you if you like something less plain.
A $350 netbook can't run AutoCAD or Photoshop just as well as a i7.
Remember they bought Netscape for 4 BILLION! Then they did nothing with it... nothing! They could have rebuilt AOL to work in the Netscape browser. The way all of Google works today. Overnight Netscape would have gained 40% market share. Even just the Netscape homepage could have brought in some money.
... approved software... on an iPhone without violating the DMCA?
The DMCA involves copyright protection. It doesn't stop people from unlocking their phone.
why the hell would most people want to spend an extra 300 bucks or so to have an extra video card at only 25% or less extra benefit in framerate?
SLI will give you better than 25% improved performance. I hear the cards can double performance. Still most games will stick to one video card. The Valve hardware survey has SLI users at 2% of valve customers. That's 2% of gamers not everyday PC users.
You don't need to spend 300 bucks on any video card. Most 100 dollar video card give you all the performance most people need. People are even playing video games on the Intel 965 embedded chipsets. Usually you see people using SLI if they've already pushed the upper limit on video cards. These are the people spending over 300 on each card and can't increase performance with a better card. They've hit the ceiling and SLI does deliver the performance.
Actually, child pornography is such a witchhunt that even animated child pornography is illegal.
Actually, It's not. Here's a quote from Wikipedia's listing under Child pornography.
Child pornography may be simulated by the use of computers[13] or adults made to look like children.[14] For simulated child pornography that is produced without the involvement of children, there is some controversy regarding whether or not such simulated child pornography is abusive to children. The legal status of simulated or "virtual" child pornography varies around the world; for example, it is legal in the United States, it is illegal in the European Union, and in Australia its legal status is unclear and so far untested in the courts.
Artie Lange from the Howard Stern show just relieved he recieved 30 grand for an hour and a half of voice acting for the new Leisure Suit Larry. Is that not enough? This guy received 100k for maybe a weeks worth of work.

This is traditionally referred to as the "Extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
Yea.. but this time they're competing with someone who is as fast and as nimble as they are.
Google will say
"Hey! Thanks for the suggestion" it'll be in the next update for chrome.
Where is the Reddit post?

If you watch the video on that page you'll see that the developers will have an Android Go configuration for every new version of Android.
She's pretty, talented, and rich.
But F^@& her if she doesn't want us stealing her music!!!!

"AOL decided to create the open-source Mozilla project in 1998"
I don't think AOL would have created an open source browser. AOL never did anything with Netscape.
If a woman is treating you differently, because you are a woman, then it is sexism.
But Supertrain is funny for other reasons.
A nuclear powered bus built for cross country trips. The Big Bus
The Big Bus is great. But Supertrain is funny for other reasons.
Yes 2% share in a few weeks VS a gigantic company that has thrown billions into advertising.
Probably that whole "shall not be infringed" thing
as the AC said you forgot the whole "Well Regulated" part.

But that doesn't mean that it is appropriate for a President of a school to make a judgement that she should therefor not be allowed to communicate
Mr. McShane didn't block Ms. Coulter's speech,
He didn't block her. He said you can do better. They evidently agreed with you and looked for another speaker.

Greediest Villain? They're selling OS Lion for 29.99!
Windows 7 is 150 bucks and there's 6 versions of it.
And you need their approval to buy and sell your product in this one.
Doesn't Microsoft do the same for the Xbox 360? You can't release a game without Microsoft's approval.
