Five star safety rating across the board. Excellent! Now if only it didn't come with a five star price tag
Laughable - this Five Star rating is going to make it even more desirable to people to whom that price tag isn't in the fiddly minor expense classification, like leaving a tip to well mannered server.
If you like - strive to attain, it's the only way you're going to get one now.
but the media cartel has extended copyright to ridiculous lengths of time to prevent music from becoming part of tradition or belonging to the people. the original reasonable limits had exactly that in mind.
Like with absolute power corrupting absolutely, the RIAA and MPAA have assumed their ability to sucker and/or buy the US Congress into extending copyrights to extreme lengths, has encouraged the to behave in an absolutely corrupt manner.
Yep and anything which has fallen into the public domain due to the death of the one or all composing parties. Anyone in the present day who releases their work to the public domain is a saint. Alas, we keep listening to the sinners. Amazing what a load of obnoxious and lawyer summoning lot they can be, too.
They start making up figures on a market that has not started yet? Seems like a real great (and useful) idea to me...
Because by then nobody will remember it. The volume of media these days will take something approximating Big Data mining just to find ordinary headlines, never mind piddly stuff like a weather or technology prediction
I predict over 150 million Veeblefetzers will be in private hands by then end of 2015.
And nearly 25 million homes will have at least one Potrzebie
I'm not seeing an advantage here. If I wake up in an age with a lobster, cyclops, rastafarian bureaucrat and obnoxious robot, I might be inclined to exclaim, "Excellent news everyone!"
Are they idiots, or do they think we are idiots? If a law can be abused, it will be abused. No exceptions.
See, this is the point most people miss - you only know when a law, any law, is abused when someone who cares whether it has been abused knows about it. Until that point you could detain, beat, torture anyone you want. That this doesn't happen more often speaks well of a society and those who are in place to serve and protect it.
"Oh, officer, we haven't seen him for days and we're so worried about him. We don't know were he could be."
"OK, please try to calm down and think. Did you have a fight or was he upset about anything?"
"No. Well... the last thing I remember, the neighbor boy, Dennis Mitchell and his dog Ruff, came over. Dennis was asking George why he was so old and such little boy questions. George stated he wanted to go to the store to pick up some more pipe tobacco. The last thing I remember, as he was getting into the car George said to Dennis 'Get lost!'"
A very good quote I heard somewhere, and though I can't get it verbatim, I'll try to at least do it justice:
"There are people who will immediately dismiss out of hand the opinions of well educated experts in the field, but without a moment's hesitation take for word of fact the writings of someone they have never met and know nothing about.
All the WaPo writers are doing is further cementing the opinions of conspiracy theorists (as if any actually would deign to read the WaPo) that there really is at least one secret weather control program.
The Washington Post has no credibility, but I guess they are right this time.
You're confusing Washington Post with Washington Times, which is some kind of right wing scandal rag (suitable city to have one, though, never a shortage of scandals, just be kinda nice if they were to report equally on the idiocy of either side of the aisle, but I guess the WaPo is for reporting on the Right Side of the aisle).
Seriously though, Weather Control Conspiracy is the domain of Weekly World News if you're going to discuss print media.
Most shocking thing to me is that 4 cups of coffee a day is considered "a lot of coffee". Of course I live in Seattle so my view may be a bit skewed.
There are Cups and there are Cups. Starbucks coffee, even just the straight stuff I baffle people with (when I endeavour to slum) is far more potent than the stuff I make when at the office or camping. I thin it out pretty good (you can actually see through it) and sip it, rather than wrap my mouth around the cup and tilt my head back with a sound like a toilet bowl draining.
Perhaps there's something like a Caffeine Molarity to be considered.
Starbucks stock didnt move on the news. Any other advice?
Either coffee drinkers are more bound to their daily dose or quicker on the uptake of rationalization than Krispy Kreme fans, when the word got out that donuts can make you fat.
Or people are more conscious of how they appear than how they feel about early onset of bucket kickin'
I'd wonder as well how much of it is because of the distinct lack of demos, shareware, and trials.
Sometimes a lemon is a lemon, no matter how much decoration you put on it and a winner gets around like wildfire. There are only so many gullible n00bs each year, coming into their early learning years (or sufficiently practiced at wheedling to get mum or dad to pay for it) and once or twice burned on a sub-standard game and they're into the jaded majority.
Small wonder gaming company stocks are such a risky investment. Winners like Tetris or Angry Birds come along every now and then, but generally from completely unexpected directions.
Possible correlation to people who drink a lot of coffee and people who work crazy hours/lots of stress/not much sleep/eat poorly/etc..
My excessive coffee drinking is a symptom of my shitty lifestyle.
I was a serious caffeine addict for the better part of a year, while putting in 14-16 hour days - yeah, I think the lack of sleep alone, plus the spice of stress, was doing quite a bit of damage. Now I only have a little now and then, preferring tea. Life is better.
if you are the kind of person who drinks that much coffee...
anyway it's not clear that coffee is the problem
Doesn't matter in the market, though, expect Starbucks stock to dip on the news. Wait for it to go to a sufficient low and buy, because caffeine addicts will rationalize their fear away (the way smokers are real pros at) and be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

so you’ll get more contextually relevant suggestions at the right time. ...
Generally I don't want suggestions and ask straight away how I can disable such features.
Well, you know what they say: A dumb-as-shit, desperate, gullible millionaire and his money are soon parted.
If not for his ruthless business acumen (or dumb luck or inheritance) he/she would not have the money to begin with.
By golly, the ends do justify the means!

It's called "Traditional" or "folk music".

Look up what transpired over only a fragment of Kookaburra in the song A Land Down Under. 60%?!? For a flute riff?

Okay, I had to say it.

I regret their idiocy, too.
How about you?
GOP still lashing out - voting against debates on networks making Hillary Clinton movies.
Madness? I don't know what to think, but it seems to be cutting nose off to spite face.

Car, I'm bored, take me to somewhere interesting. I'll take a nap while you drive.
NSA: Who, us? Nevar!
Stop considering taking stock tips from random slashdotters. Not even as a joke.
That's almost worse than trolling "Ask Slashdot" for career advice.
Yeah, us random slashdotters haven't learned a thing about the stock market over the years.

Even Community Colleges are boosting tuition and adding dubious fees.
Could also be pesticides. Gotta keep those Peruvian Coffee Weevils at bay.
We keep the 16 M coffee under the hood. Be sure to wear gloves and goggles when handling.
