But where on Earth can they possibly find enough sperm?
I know! The task seems overwhelming. Every time I ejaculate, it's just a drop in the bucket.
Maybe we could start farming male horses, cows and elephants. Does anybody here have any experience in dealing with whales? I hear that they make quite a splash.
I'm no Luddite, but I really oppose this technology. Why has nobody bothered to ask, "We know that we can do it, but should we do it?". Here are my reasons.
This is a crazy idea. I just can't swallow this.
I want a better choice. Sorry, but I don't like having somebody shove sperm down my throat.
Guys have been using crazy ideas like this to get women to...well, you know. So, you don't honestly expect us to be fooled by it, do you?
I agree with you about discoverability. I noticed that a lot of buttons on RCA remotes become unusable during certain situations, which means that they go to waste.
Another thing that I would suggest is using the stop button as a universal cancel button, and the play button as a universal submit/okay button. This would lower the learning curve, and save a lot of heart ache.
Another idea is to just give 2 remotes. 1 would be for configuring the player, and 1 would be for using the player. The configuring remote would have most/all features laid out, while the other would ergonomic and only have enough buttons for basic usage, such as play back.
Why is that the question? Maybe the tree is produced in an area where there is "surplus" renewable energy, and it allows other areas to get some sustainable energy instead of building another dam, coal power plant or nuclear power plant. If the power had to be brought in from another community, then there are costs in installing cables and what have you.
I think that every power source uses a lot of energy, renewable or not.
I don't recall ever hearing about Frys, but I bet the good employees left, because they were tired of memorizing the illogical location of everything.
I work at a Canadian department store, and there is no rhyme or reason to what price has or has not been updated into the computer. So out of hundreds of items some won't be on sale. Out of those on sale, some sales prices won't be in the computer. Out of those not in the computer, the cashier has to wander around to figure out whether or not it is on sale--even when there is a long line up. It is impossible to memorize. On top of that, the sale signs are confusing. It makes a simple job quite painful. A lot of fairly decent employees would want to leave.
Based on the discussion, I assume that that's probably what the Frys employees are like. It's the job of the managers and shelf stockers to get the products organized, but the floor staff end up being criticized.
In fact, if he was going to say that, then the least that he could have done was misspell it: "Your new hear, ain't you?", or "Your knew hear, aren't you?".
A swift roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris will usually kill any thread.
Once he was going to reply to a discussion, and the web site tried to make him login or get an account. After the kick, the entire site disappeared. There aren't even any squatters anymore.
I guess when Chuck Norris says that his internet is down, then that means he roundhouse kicked the entire internet, because the internet never showed up?
On an unrelated note, Chuck Norris is the only person who can legitmately say, "...my internet...".
I'm really surprised that you even asked. You ought to be crapping your pants by now, but you haven't even the slightest clue of what's about to happen, right?
For crying out loud, stop reading this post, and run!
To some degree it's culturally normal for the North American to bond with his abuser, to tolerate abuse, to see those who reject abuse as weak and those who organise to collecitvely challenge abuse as "troublemakers". The puzzle, is that this flies directly against their stated values of freedom and democracy.
Yep. I was spoken down on, when I tried to raise concerns about being forced to work overtime for free. I'm in the military, and it makes sense when there is war or emergencies, because the job isn't about getting rich. In war, we are always on duty, even when we sleep, so we would always be on overtime. However, there are military people with day jobs, and it makes no sense to over work us, when we could do the work tomorrow.
This really upsets me, because when I work overtime, my salary goes down below minimum wage. I find that very offensive.
Yes, I'm "bitter". My supervisor worked me overtime for free today, and didn't want to call me in to work tomorrow, because he couldn't justify the cost of paying me to work tomorrow, even though there are many projects that need to be completed.
That being said, I oppose the concept of striking, because I don't think that you have a right to prevent me from working at a lower price.
I think that the problem is that people believe in this superstician about working overtime for free is okay. I can never understand that. The only time free overtime is okay is when it is used to bank hours. 1 bandage solution to this, is to force everybody to work on an hourly wage, and start overtime at triple or double the wage, instead of time and a half. Another solution is to let the employee bank hours, not be allowed to be paid for it, if you know what I mean. I mean that if the employee worked an hour overtime, then the employee should be forced to take an hour off, as opposed to being paid an extra hour, and having no banked hours. This could be a way of saving up hours for a holiday or a dental appointment, etc.
When I signed on to work for them, they were so impressed by me, that the even allowed me to divulge the secrets of Clippy, but I said, "Nah, I'll pass on that, but I'll still work for you.".;^)
Even if we all used only hydro, then we can still waste energy and impact the environment. We'd still have to build more dams and what-have-you to create that wasted energy. Imagine what would happen if every stream and river were dammed.
The developer did this for the same reason that any developer added a private garage to the home: it's easier to use the car that way. When you can just drive into your home, then you'll be happier, regardless of the environmental consequences.
Thanks for clarifying. I think that you are saying that it's a market approach, where the others aren't less bloated or aren't much less bloated, so there isn't anything to worry about. I suppose that that is true. I just don't want to upgrade my computer. That's all.
If we are talking about upgrading to whatever features are latest on the market, then perhaps you have a point, but I think that when innovators make that comparison, they fall into the trap of, "Well, we are the same size as the competition, so our users will only want to upgrade because of our new features, not our design improvements. Perhaps they only need a single simple design improvement, but they won't mind adding 100MB to the install.".
I think that the post that everybody is talking about is the top post.
To say that he likes Office because of the integration, implies that OOo isn't integrated. He doesn't go about proving anything. I don't think that anybody does. In a sense, we don't really have to, because we should be able to verify it on our own. Regarding integration and whatever, that's subjective. It's not factual information. It's an explanation, though. I said that an explanation was given, and an explanation was given.
I wasn't really comparing OOo to MS Office. I was comparing it to itself. It is so monolithic, in my opinion [and probably many others], that it takes an updated computer just to make it work at a decent pace to do basic stuff. I don't want features. There is enough.
It could reduce the bloat, by removing the autopilots and using macros for the exact same thing. In fact, using macros to provide the same features would prove to the users that the system is capable of handling complex tasks.
If I haven't answered you properly, then let me know.
Actually, I was really just comparing it to itself. I honestly can't understand why it takes so much code to make it work the way that it does. Maybe they need to start making macros, instead. It would increase the install size on the disk, but it would also require less RAM overall, I suspect. It would be nice to be able to have less features. I probably need to look for another word processor.
Slashdot Mirror
I agree. I don't understand why more of it isn't used. Solar cells would provide shade, and probably cool the land.
Does anybody know whether there are sand storms there that could damage the cells?
Also, heat exchangers would be useful for shower water, and so on.

That's a very good point. Maybe there needs to be legislation that requires the powering down of lights after hours.

Yeah, 1 of his TV show episodes, if not the entire series, had a real stong anti-gang message to it.

I heard that in Canada, you are allowed to find another job, while you are on strike. Can somebody verify this, with a good example?
You think that it went over my head?
...and the bartender says, "We don't serve your kind here.".
Oedipus says, "Why not?".
The bartender says, "No, not you. You're okay. We tolerate your sexual lifestyle in this neighbourhood. As for you 2, you both are just plain nuts.".

I'd like to add to what you say.
