Obviously. I'm sure they never accounted and corrected for that possibility. After all, it's not like these people are the type who would know anything about basic experimental science or anything.
That's weird, I've never heard of controlled access wifi that's Windows only. Unless they were using some sort of weird ActiveX control, I don't know why such a thing would be necessary.
When I was doing controlled access WiFi systems like that, it was basically a web page based login. Upon successful login, it just adds a firewall rule for your MAC address so you can get around the Internet. If it's timed, after a certain amount of time the firewall rule is removed. You'd have to jump through some hoops to make such a thing Windows-only.
Man, you weren't kidding. Compare Panera Bread sandwiches (page 4 of the PDF), with McDonald's sandwiches (select sandwiches from the drop down). The highest calorie sandwich from McDonald's is 740 calories. The highest calorie Panera Bread sandwich is the Full Chipotle Chicken on Artisan French at 1070 calories. Panera Bread has no fewer than 16 sandwiches that exceed the calories of the Double Quarter Pounder.
I thought McDonald's food was unhealthy, but damn Panera Bread's stuff is even worse! Panera Bread's stuff is also loaded with sodium, even more so in many cases than the notoriously sodium-heavy McDonald's fare. In fact, their highest sodium sandwich has more than twice the sodium as McDonald's highest sodium sandwich! Trying to pass off Panera Bread as a "healthier alternative" seems like a pretty irresponsible thing to do.
Panera Bread has 1,230 locations in 40 states. McDonald's has more than 31,000 in all 50 states and tons of other countries. Panera Bread sells high quality but overpriced food, while McDonald's sells low to middling quality food super cheap. They are not competing in the same segment at all.
So do you work for Panera Bread or are you a franchisee?
But they could buy Yahoo for the change in Bill Gates' couch cushions. If they wait 6 months, they could buy Yahoo from the change in Steve Ballmer's couch cushions. Maybe they're planning on buying the Justice Department outright to avoid any future "misunderstandings".
I don't see how that's going to help...from what I hear, it's damn near impossible to get a WiFi signal in prison. Seems like kind of a step backward, really.
Scheduling a meeting for 40 minutes is useless, because the meeting will just end up going overtime by 20 minutes most of the time. The secret to a quick yet productive meeting is to have a well-prepared, well-organized moderator who is able to get to the pertinent facts quickly and cut down on extraneous chatter.
Unfortunately, those people tend to be rare, at least in my experience. I can have a meeting that runs 20 minutes, and another that runs 90 minutes, and the 20 minute one will be more productive because the leader of that meeting is able to stay organized and keep control over the conversation.
If you schedule a lot of meetings back to back that are each 40 minutes, they may all end at 40 minutes as people start to leave to get to the next meeting, but without the aforementioned leadership, they'll just be 20 minutes less effective than the hour-long meetings you used to have were.
So what, you thought MS was a bunch of open source hippies all this time who were only being stopped from releasing the source of the entire OS for free by the tyrannical Bill Gates?
I don't know about anyone else, but the only reason I ever subscribed to the WSJ was because when I was going to school for business it was "highly recommended" that all business majors subscribe, and there were a couple of classes that required it.
Twitter is hugely popular and has no earthly idea how to capitalize on that popularity without killing itself. It's like every other Web fad, before long it's going to fade away and be replaced by something at least as inane as it is.
The only hope for the Twitter founders is to sell to someone with deep pockets and few brains as quickly as possible. I don't know why Apple would want it, but maybe some old media company with more money than brains would.
I don't know what's taking them so long...my idea to replace inefficient jet-fuel-burning airliners with giant gliders and slingshots was so clearly superior to any other ideas they could have received, I don't understand why I haven't received my check yet.
Subscribers don't just see them for a few seconds, they see them sometimes for hours. The issue with non-subscribers seeing them for a few seconds or minutes appears to be a bug.
That's because you can't post comments to articles that are "in the future". One of the "benefits" of being a subscriber is being able to see the articles early, but you can't post to them until they go live (green) on the whole site.
I think you're being harsh. I look forward to seeing how they relate being raped by a giant tentacle monster to enforcing referential integrity. It seems like a fairly obvious analogue to me, but to others it might provide some insight.
Sure, but the active campaigning was usually reserved for the campaign season, meaning the several months before an election. The rest of the time was spent governing, albeit doing so in a way that would play well with the electorate come campaign time.
Now, it's all about "managing the message" and staying in campaign mode all the time. It's not about doing things that will "play well in Peoria", it's about constantly reinforcing the message that whatever it is you're doing is good for the people. It's the difference between doing the people's work and making sure the people think whatever it is you're doing is the people's work.
There have been free ad-supported newspapers out there for decades. None of them make the kind of money the subscription-based ones do even today, so why would you think a free model would work better?
For the reasons noted by the other reply to your post, advertisers will pay a much lower rate for ads in a free paper than in a paper people have to pay for. This means that in a free newspaper you'll have to have a much higher advertisement-to-content ratio, and even then you're not likely to make enough money to sustain any more than a few reporters, which means the quality of your content will suffer.
The free newspaper market is crowded and low margin, even more so than the subscriber-based newspaper market. Going that route will only accelerate the decline.

Contamination.
'Nuff said.

Is that like an epileptic version of a lazy susan? I don't even know how you make a typo like that without having some sort of seizure.
Look everyone, a tech news aggregator! What an original idea...this will be revolutionary. Can the year of Linux on the desktop be far behind now?

Exactly, which is why he would have a lot less change in there than Bill Gates does.

Indeed, I've also heard that it is Apple's store and they are free to do whatever they want with it.
I've heard this from two different sources now, so I think it's fair to say it's probably true. Off to update Wikipedia!
Is the "aholic" suffix really any worse than "-gate" for any scandal?
Yes. I propose declaring a war on it.
Agreed. I'll get the President to appoint a Czar immediately.
fuck the children.

Since she was going by MS-DOS rather than MRS-DOS, their relationship was probably on the rocks anyway.
I heard she left him after she found him in bed with a pre-op tranny by the name of MS-Bob.
The world is full of retards (ATM you're modded -1 Troll). apparently it is possible to be a complete retard and even use the tubes!
Of course it is, how else do you explain the level of discourse on every Internet message board and chat site ever?

Working out little details like that will happen after we get the funding.
I'm glad to see you've been following my work. You don't happen to be a venture capitalist, do you?

It's always so sad to see 12 year old girls become alcoholics.
