Now maybe it's because I'm old and have a life and don't need to be up on the latest trends to talk about them, but for the last five years or so (in other words, when movie tickets hit $10 and I started a Netflix subscription) all films I want to see get classified as:
would_benefit_from_big_screen_experience (explosions) or get_added_toNetflix_queue_to_be_seen_eventually (people sit around talking about their feeeeeelings)
Now I only go to the movies about once a year. I can't say that I really miss the experience.
If the problem with development of alternative sources of energy is a competitive price, I'm surprised that some hardcore environmentalists haven't blown up an oil refinery or two. That would have forced the price of oil up and suddenly the alternatives would have started looking pretty good.
I've done this for years. I also use a separate email address for the domain registrar so I know when someone is referencing it.
Yes, I'm a "bad person" and violating all sorts of policies, but the policies are flawed. Requiring people to have accurate information should have also includes a requirement for registrars to hide this information from the public for free. Until that change is made, I'm going to continue to violate these terms of agreement. It's like having to pay extra to have an unlisted number--I could an idiot and pay the phone company or could simply get the account in a different name.
The funny thing is, it's not like I do anything criminal or "subversive" with my domain--in fact it's a tourism site that has won awards--but I've actually been telephoned by spammers who scraped the info from the registrar and I see no reason to continue to be a target of opportunity.
There is ZERO reason why a Prof should have the expectation that they can be Paid to work for a school and on that school's money/time work and produce a book in which the Prof can sell for self gain.
That seems logical initially, but you've failed to take into account that being a professor is not a 9-5 job. When you're a professor it's impossible to get away from the job: thinking about the next publication, new ideas for research, ways to solve problems for committees, how to deal with a troublesome student, how to improve a lecture, etc. The life of the mind doesn't stop when one walks away from a desk or a lab.
You could tell from the pilots voice he was shaken, he said "my God, what have I done". My first thought was how could he not feel the same way when attacking Iraqui troops too.
My first thought was that he was a big Talking Heads fan.
It's reminiscent of a recent post at IncGamers where the author tallied up how much he'd spent on World of Warcraft over the past several years, and was astonished to realize it numbered in the thousands of dollars.
Don't forget to include the cost of Cheetos and HoHos.
But seriously, it's entertainment, and, compared to a lot of other things one could be doing (going to the movies, fly fishing, buying new hardcover books, restoring classic cars, etc.) it's relatively inexpensive. Yeah, sure, the cost adds up, but it does on everything. How much have you spent on rent, mortgage interest, food, shoes, or transportation? You want dumb? Consider how much people spend on cars between the device itself, maintenance, fuel, and insurance versus what percentage of their time they actually spend in it.
Indeed. I'd rather see a hundred major corporations go bankrupt than see one of them control the food supply and there's nothing "anti-capitalist" about saying so.
Absolutely not. In fact, some might argue that it's the fiduciary responsibility of the board to blackmail the world.
So why is it again that I would want an iPod or to run iTunes becaues any of that marketing jibber jabber?
I don't know why you would want to use it. I like my iPod and iTunes because it lets me listen to music, or organize my ID3 tags, without having to make a whole hobby of it. I know other tools do similar things, often for less money, but I'm lucky enough to have some disposable income and I'd rather spend a few extra bucks for a pleasant experience.
The only remotely interesting bit sounded like a bit of a rehash of Pandora.
That option was available in the last version. It is a bit like Pandora, but I think it uses a better matching algorithm. I use Pandora at work for discovering new music, since it's something I can do in the background, but I use iTunes for making playlists of songs that I already have.
I had a typing as an elective about 30 years ago. I never did particularly well, in part because I had a manual typewriter at home and had already adopted the two-finger pound as my style of choice. To this day I type with three of four fingers on each hand. I also look at the keys.
However, despite all that, I type 55-60 words per minute so it's not worth it to me to retrain myself. In addition, since my hands are never trapped in the home position and take turns visiting alternate sides of the keyboard, I can type all day long without ever getting RSI symptoms.
Whenever I rip a CD to MP3 I spend some time *adding* art and crap like that (genre, year, etc...) so it feels more like an album than just a file.
I do that as well. I don't worry about iPod space*, but if I did, there's an option in iTunes to not include the image data on the iPod.
*I don't care about carrying around every song I own. I have a few standard playlists, a couple of movies that I don't mind watching again, as well as a couple of "smart" playlists that pull up stuff I haven't listened to in more than two years.
Do you have sources, or are you just making assumptions based on the fact it's using a laser. It seems to me with mirrors existing as part of any car on the road, they just/might/ have thought of this one.
Of course they did. It's part of the nefarious plot to make people blind so they can sell more cars.
Palm is capitalizing on the media hype maelstrom that is lavished on Apple, keeping the name "Pre" on the lips of people who would normally only ever talk about the iPhone
Yeah, as in "Look at those Pre bitches. Their whole ad campaign is about not being the iPhone, but they need iTunes to work."
Federal judges are appointed for life, not elected.
Depends on the level of federal judge. Bankruptcy judges are appointed to a 14-year term. It's a trivial matter to re-up for another 14 years, but paperwork is required.
There's a girlfriend wondering why he won't annnnnsweeeeer any of the phone calls, voice mails, text messages, emails, or she's sent in the last ten minutes.
Their uniform will consist of brown shirts, perhaps with pantlegs tucked into their boots.
I was told that this time it would be business casual. Focus groups have shown that there's much less resistance when smiling groups of multi-racial "associates" wearing Dockers and polo shirts kick in your door at four in the morning.

your knows will tell you that something is up and you better watch out.
It always nose.
Boiling water and rocks have also been used.
Hey, the courts found that to be a legitimate stone soup accident.
That sounds about right to me.

Oh rats.
Bet you'd have rockin' shoulders though, from holding your arms up all day.
Really? Didn't seem to do much for the French.
The free Xboxes are an investment, too, Olin said. "We also get some of our technology on campuses in the hands of thought leaders.
An obvious and worthwhile investment. However, anyone who uses the term "thought leader" needs a serious beat down.

Usually, it's not for the dead, it's for the living. It's a last laugh you can give them, a last memory, a last reminder of who you were.
Or, as the funeral industry calls it, Goatse from the Grave.
Don't take a road trip with guys who yell "LoudCloud" every time they let one rip?
He has credibility with investors because he called Facebook and Twitter (among others) as a buy pretty early in their lifecycles.
And how much money are they making now?
Andreessen was interesting and lucky. Then he got fat. Now he's just bored.

They need someone to put the ribbon on the presents.
Unfortunately, the presents no longer open the way that they always have.

Palm hasn't been "brilliant" since 1997.
