Well, that's just about the only thing he could do that would ever make people remotely consider Staples as their tablet dealer. I didn't even know they had them, lol.
I think that's called the switch to US Cellular scam lol. They're the only company to do unlimited incoming anything from anywhere at any time. I hopped on that like Oprah on cheese and was wondering what exactly was mentally wrong with people over at the Verizon and AT&T stores. Anyone anywhere being able to cost you any amount of money with no way to stop it seems like a LITTLE bit of a vulnerability in the logic of their plans.
Why is it that when a brand new product has millions spent on its advertising and hype then they accidentally underdeliver the supply by underestimating the demand that the company celebrates like it's some accomplishment? I would have someone head on a freaking pole for having customers lined up, saying "shut up and take my money!" and someone screwing up and not being able to get products into their hands. That's the #1 worst thing a company can ever do to shoot itself in the foot when it comes to sales numbers.
That's classy.
Why can't more companies act this way towards one another?
Yeeeah, and then Friday night rolls around and I bet they'll be reported throwing whiskey bottles at the company's HQ windows and evading police. This is a fucking alcohol company, not some butler service or fashion boutique.
Need I remind you that the last 3.5 years, a democrat was in charge. Democrats typically give money out to a mix of deserving and seriously undeserving poor people indiscriminately and Obama wasn't exactly a major exception so don't go blaming republicans.
Their name is Uniloc. There's another nationwide company called Unilock that makes bricks for high end custom brick and paving jobs...and Minecraft is all bricks. What a coincidence lol.
Sounds like my guild chest on my guild ship in DDO. Nobody ever touches the crap in there lol. My suggestions for an "IRL" one would be lots of shotguns and shells...for the zombie apocalypse (or hyper-intelligent monkeys).
Damn right! Do that in Texas and he'd have had some serious return fire to deal with. I'm from Wisconsin btw:-P They just passed the concealed weapons permit and idiots now think everyone's going to go on shooting sprees or some dumb BS like that. This is a shining example of why just about everyone needs a gun on them at almost all times. I add those exceptions because at the average Packer game, there's about 20 fights leading to arrests. The would all be gunfights:-P Guns + alcohol and/or stupid people = bad idea. Other than that, well let's just say even before the law passed I was carrying significant less than lethal and semi-lethal weaponry pretty much everywhere for this exact reason.
It's like some sort of race to see which pays off more; me not joining facebook or me not investing in facebook. Anyone else in the same boat as me? I put up a fake profile for a week to see who from high school got fat and ugly but I was one of the thousand or so "Rusty Shackleford" accounts (very fitting if you know the reference btw). Image search him. I don't think they'll be finding that in a crowd lol.
not being able to order cheap hard drives from Thailand is more than a nuisance! Florida sinking into the ocean is a nuisance but don't touch my hard drives, damn it.
Since everything we do destroys something on the planet, I'm gonna go ahead and call this one right now. Algea blocks sunlight below, kills seabed plants in shallow areas and kills...I dunno, Nemo or something in deep water by lowering the temperature, making automatic frozen fishsticks.
This did sound like one of the better theories for fixing the problem extremely quickly and cheaply when I heard about it on TV though.
They connected the wrong dots. Different political affiliations typically means different age groups which means one has seen more decades of weather which contained other floods and droughts and heat waves so they are less inclined to think there's a change going on.
He should have protested the lack of available jury trial by stripping naked in court. Then they'd have to hand him new charges for the same thing and deny him a jury trial for that. Just think, it would cause an endless loop that would cause the court system to blue screen lol.
They wrote off a TON of money in "good will" valuation of their company because some stupid bullshit I've never heard of from 2007 didn't pan out. You can't lose customer good will over something they've never heard of. But, as far as I know, they never wrote off any good will during the Vista catastrophe. I don't think any company has had any single, short period loss of good will in human history equal to what Vista did (pending Windows 8's release lol).
Oh yes, because as everyone knows, passing a law in Australia causes other countries to follow it. Seriously? They think they can pass a bill in their country that forces an American company like Hulu to obey it and start streaming to Australia? Apparently they don't know how the world works. Now if they meant it would only effect things the opposite direction, well Australia doesn't really sell anything significant to outside countries that's geoblocked so it'd be pretty darn pointless.
Hmmm, AT&T and Time Warner say it's too expensive to upgrade their networks so Google builds fiber and leases it to them for lots of $$$, obviously more than it cost to put it in. Sounds like a solution to me lol I assume that's what they're doing because of federal laws about line sharing and the fact that Google probably doesn't want to bother with being an ISP.
There's a slight problem here though. Everyone thinks it's some magical, virtually unlimited speed connection but their wireless could cut it to 54Mbps or 150 or 300 depending on their router model. Then their ipad probably can't process data at a rate exceeding the internal storage device's pathetic write rates. Then there's the fact that downloading a file off a server can only be done by 1 server with FTP so you're limited by the drive/RAID array's I/O speeds. You're not going to be the only person downloading from that individual server either then there's all the overhead so you're never going to see the speeds they advertise.
If that's all they used as a comparison, I'd say warm blooded vs cold blooded just miiiiight have had a little, tiny, 100% bit to do with it.
For intra-mammal comparison, once their brains get large enough, they destroy the entire planet:-P The theory kinda falls apart then.
Your version seems most reasonable. Whether they articulated it so well is another question.
Also I'd say it was more a case of "It's weird and it's making me [the manager] uncomfortable".
The law also say that things being called food have to be made out of food. That doesn't stop them either. By the way, I also think that crap about random sudden physical damage to their chassis results in taking a photo is complete and utter BS. He probably just started snapping photos like crazy to piss them off and post about later in a 1-sided, misleading blog post or whatever. By the way, it looks like he counted 2 "possible witnesses" however my estimates off the photo come up with more like 20-30 so I think the truth will come out pretty darn soon.
I also agree with Microsoft's drive to do everything they can to invalidate and kill Vista.

C4 shaped like glasses frame with wires sticking out of it and a power supply could blow a hole in a plane, just FYI. Dunno if you cyborg freedom hippies considered that or not.
The glasses either are damaged or they are not. The end. This is not hard.
The company still hasn't explained why Mann was removed from the restaurant, but Mann has speculated that it has a policy against recording.
Now that's where his credibility falls off a cliff. Let me reinact his version that would reach that end result: "Sir, we're asking you to leave but we're not telling you specifically why. Try to speculate on why it may be while you're in the parking lot."
Here's my version: "So...this paper says it can take pictures? GTFO, perv! You can't covertly snap photos of people with a camera hidden in your glasses, it's making our customers uncomfortable."
Um...no you won't. They kill basically all sales of Windows 7 the next day. All partners have to return their OEM copies of 7. They're going to reach into your wallet with one hand while shoving Windows 8 down your throat with the other. If I had the money, I'd stockpile more copies of 7 (since I'm not a Microsoft partner)

So anyone with a point can strip naked as long as it's related? Anti-sheep wool use as clothing? Nude time! Completely ridiculous.

And when you have to put in your shipping and billing address...?
