later, a bear eats fish and takes a dump in the woods. Story at 10
What kind of bear? What kind of fish? How was the fish caught? How big was the dump and what are the coords (for geocachers)? 10 PM or AM? Which timezone?
Come on manz, this is Slashdot and we expect details!
'Expensive' can be a relative term. I used to know someone who owned a small movie theater, and they often run on a razor-thin margin. The links you provided for comparison discuss organizations where the cost of an upgrade would be a relatively small portion of their budget, even though the absolute cost would be far greater than movie projection equipment. For small businesses, a cost of even a few thousand could be significant.
Question- Do you use a clothes dryer? They typically heat clothes to about 180 F or higher. Hot water heaters are usually set to 120 - 130 F, so unless the clothes washer has a booster heater that is the hottest the clothes in the washer will get. Why will the clothes dryer not kill bed bugs?
My take on this- Lenovo equipment is probably squeaky clean- they would be idiots to put anything in them when they know they're under such extreme suspicion. This is probably being driven by Dell or one of the other large government vendors.
I also think that as soon as Lenovo equipment is accepted for high security networks, and the suspicion abates, their equipment will be as bug ridden as a casu marzu left in an alley.
Agreed, but the proper course of action if the brakes fail is to put the car in Neutral and slowly apply the parking brake. This maintains power for steering. This is also recommended if the accelerator sticks.
Given this story, I think the safest course of action overall is to not pick up hitchhiking hackers.
This conjures up an image of dozens of rednecks tying armed drones to deerstands high up in trees, then going back to their pickup trucks to drink beer and shoot deer remotely.
I thought that elements heavier than iron were created in supernova explosions- have they been ruled out as a source? It seems like they are more common than "Two dead stars smashing into each other" would be. They're not even mentioned in TFA.
I also predict that for the first time ever, the awards ceremony will be held on U.S. soil, and they will be enforcing the 'winners must be present to claim prize' clause.
Maybe they're taken an idea from their Energy conservation efforts, and are now Net Zero Evil? Do a little good when the light is shining on them, and then spread a little evil when it's dark?
You are committing the logical fallacy of false equivalence. You list those disparate groups together, making them seem equivalent, when they are not. Some are seeking to expand freedom, or to support a political system, while others have a goal of removing freedom from others. Some groups spread oppression and hate- why should they deserve tolerance? I'm ignoring the 'crazy' modifier you've attached to each group, including the groups where it's not redundant.
Also, a boycott is not a form of an ad hominem attack. An ad hominem attack is more like "You're wrong because you're a jerk!" A boycott is not part of a logical argument, although they may result from one.
If it was voluntary there would be no issue. The problem is that this program is not voluntary, and is not disclosed. If the NSA were to offer such a (voluntary) service, I would even consider using it for a subset of my data (next mission- to see how many pictures of cats holding grenade launchers I can photoshop per week).
They could even serve ads to make the yanks feel at home
Do you know how many species of beattles there are
There are actually only four species of Beatles: Beatlus Johnus, Beatlus Paulus, Beatlus Ringus, and Beatlus Georgus. Two of them are unfortunately extinct.
Among other reasons, because it's counterbalanced by the right to privacy. Cars have no such expectation. License plates have other purposes too, such as proving that the car is registered and licensed (not applicable to people), and to help identify it if it gets stolen (in addition to VIN numbers). Most people do carry a photo ID in case it is needed, instead of a license plate.

Six wives and a half-dozen girlfriends?
No, he just has polydactyly.
You must be tired!
He probably is, but TMI.

Don't worry, it will be ok as long as they keep the reactor away from the ocean.
But it was duped ultra-fast keeping in the spirit of the story.

Time to watch Dr. Strangelove again and take copious notes...
Maybe they should make a Bollywood version.

...could suddenly find itself a bunch of empty buildings if Washington wished it.
This is not a threat against the lives of the inhabitants- it's far worse.
Deer Trail will be empty because every single citizen will be in D.C. getting audited by the I.R.S.

As long as it all evens out, they're ok with it.

People will voluntarily subscribe.

Adblock. NSA -> No Such Advertisement
and generate some income
This is clearly not the interest of the NSA or any other branch of the U.S. government.

I heard that the rocket was also carrying Edward Snowdens political asylum request.
you see, they are working on a shielding system which when activated in flight...
They will probably call it 'Airplane mode', to reduce confusion.
... deploying the protection shield
What would a Windows phone use as a protection shield? A fake Android start-up screen?
The researchers created a low-power background service for iPhones and Android handsets
I guess they had to drop the Windows phone variant, as the moods only varied between 'disappointed' and 'highly annoyed'.
why don't we apply that same logic to people?

Did I just make a people analogy about cars?
One of the symptoms of the disease is that time passes more slowly for her.
That, and maybe die your hair.
I hope you mean he should dye his hair. Don't want him misunderstanding and doing anything rash...
Yeah about as serious as running out of ding dongs.
Don't worry, Slashdot has an endless supply...
And don't get us started on those 'TiVo Buying Hulu' or 'Apple/Google buying TiVo' rumors... that's a different story for a different day."
Do you mean we should keep the rumors in our Now Playing list? Or should they get a red thumbs down?
