It does exactly what it says on the tin" was originally an advertising slogan in the United Kingdom, which then became a common idiomatic phrase.[1][2] It colloquially means anything that is as it appears or claims to be without further explanation needed.
It originated in a series of television advertisements by the woodstain and wood-dye manufacturer Ronseal, initiated in 1994 and still being broadcast as of 2013.[3] The phrase originated from a winning entry to a competition run by Polycell. The winner Mrs Ailsie Allen coined the phrase " it does what it says". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D...
If you knew what I know about what happens when orange juice is shipped in bulk container ships before it's packaged for sale, you would never drink OJ again.
Radio Shack remained stuck in the '80s and '90s as cooler, cheaper options like Best Buy and Amazon took center stage. The store failed to keep up with fast and furious technological advances, and didn't adapt to consumers' ever-changing needs. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
Jimmy Fallon: Radio Shack’s entire inventory has been put up for auction. When asked if the auction would be on the internet, a spokesman for Radio Shack said ‘The what now?'”
"How do you sell something nobody actually needs?" That's where advertising comes in. The whole point of dvertising is to get people to buy things that they don't really need, and to "sell happiness". To convince us that if we bought and owned (insert Product here), we'd feel happy about ourselves.
...Nobody buys this OS because of the App Store. but there are a lot of other good reasons to use it.
To be fair, the app store does have a kickass free pinball game.:-)
With Classic Shell 8.1 works fine for me. A much stabler OS, updates install with no issues. I can't see myself needing Cortana, if 10 doesn't allow Classic Shell, free upgrade or not, I'll stick with what I know works for me.
A solid gold casing would be too soft to be practical.
Apple claim to somehow have found a way around that. From the product page: "Each has a watch case crafted from 18-karat gold that our metallurgists have developed to be up to twice as hard as standard gold."
Screw it, let's go make a new Amish colony. We'll have conversations in person where we can actually see that we're not talking to robots, and mirror neurons will actually mean something. We'll be human again. Who's with me?
When going up the concrete stairs, the front left paw attempts to grip onto the higher step, then quickly opts for the lower step. a quite natural looking action.
The Falcon 9 is made up of two parts: a 138-foot-tall first stage, which burns for the first few minutes of flight, lifting the craft up to an altitude of about 50 miles before separating and falling back to Earth, and a smaller, 49-foot-tall second stage, which burns for another five minutes or so, carrying the spacecraft into orbit before disconnecting and falling back down to earth as well.
Normally, both of these stages — as well as the stages that make up other rockets in general — break up into pieces as they plummet downward, eventually sinking in the ocean and becoming unusable. But on Sunday, as the first stage falls back to earth, SpaceX will fire its engines in order to stabilize and guide it in for a controlled landing.
The plan is to land it on an autonomous uncrewed barge, which is being stationed about 370 miles east of Cape Canaveral. As the rocket descends, steerable fins affixed to its outside will help guide it and slow it down. As it nears the barge, a set of legs will unfold from the bottom of the rocket, and if all goes to plan, it'll slow down to a speed of about 4.5 miles per hour before gently landing on them, fully upright.
To solve the problem from the last attempt, the rocket will be carrying more hydraulic fluid.
Well, to be fair, a telemarketer did just help save a woman who was undergoing a severe beating. He stayed on the line so the cops could track the call and arrest the beast. Info and call here...
From your link: "We haven't found some miracle cure," Goulão says. Still, taking stock after nearly 12 years, his conclusion is, "Decriminalization hasn't made the problem worse."
So let's be daring and take a chance and at least decriminalize possession and stop making criminals out of our kids. (And remember, alcohol is the most destructive drug on the planet.)

Ceramics are blended in with the gold.
