I know the last time I had to buy any was about eight years ago. The narrow carriage models for 8.5x11 were still being sold by Okidata. Our wide carriage for greenbar were still kicking along. I had one saved for a while that we no longer needed, but I think it got tossed following a divorce:(
So the secret sauce I need to become a multibillion dollar multinational corporation is spend a lot on advertising, give my projects fabulous color names, hang up a fight club poster... Thats all it takes?
Possibly the worst headline ever. I notice nowhere in the summary or the linked article where Mr. Schiller specifically avoided commenting on the new iPhone due this fall. Don't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of back and forth between fanboys and fandroids. Slashdot will get pageviews, and my karma will end up in the terlet.
Same problem for the last century: Hollywood accounting. Find a big property, dump all of the corporate overhead onto those books, claim it had a loss.
When they grow mature, they will surely use drones and missiles to kill the guntoting hillbillies of North Dakota. They will call it a "counter-terrorist operation".
Ya know, could you at least pick the right targets? The gun toting hillbillies are in North Carolina. I should know, I'm descended from them.
Bombing the wrong targets just turns you into the thing you claim to hate.
If you think we are getting to uppity by asking for Julian Assange to be extradited, say 'no'. If you think Apple's lawsuits are ridiculous, say 'no'. If you think you shouldn't help our military activities, say 'no'. If you think McDonald's is a blight on your local cuisine, say 'no'. If you think Bud is pisswater that shouldn't be allowed in your country, say 'no'.
The USA is like a vampire. We only have power in your home when you invite us in. Close the door on us. Send us home.
This seems to be based on the principle that if you want the strength of a tank, the performance of a sports car, and the economy of a hybrid you just lash a tank, a Ferrari and a Prius together and driving it will get you all three. I somehow doubt that the reality will live up to the promise.
You are apparently unfamiliar with the awesome power of the triple changers. Astrotrain FTW!
Where was his MacBook backed up? Oh, it wasn't? Tough shit. If he had it backed up with a Time Machine backup (whether to a Time Capsule, an external hard drive, a stack of floppies, or whatever), you merely restore the laptop from that backup, and then restore the iOS devices from the Mac.
Much better answer than the first, terse one. I expected the former (your number 1) and they use your number 2, but I was rather hoping I was missing some 'item 3'.
Slashdot Mirror
I've been hating bands when they become popular since before it became popular.
eBay.

Don't worry, I only used a couple of GOTO statements.

It's so easy, a caveman could do it.
This a slow day samzenpus? This article is bad, and you should feel bad.

The latter part of your comment would make you unique in just about any corporate boardroom in the US, and, for certain industries, the world.
Sadly.
Sean Bean was the closest to an A-Lister, and we all know what happened to his character. DUMBLEDORE DIES!

Unfortunately.
Funny, but that's why I mentioned a Time Machine backup, a method that can use several different backup destinations.

Let me guess... you are not from the USA?
So stop us.

It would make more sense to name them after characters from the Flintstones.

Companies hire ethicists when they want to do something unethical, and people call in futurists, to come up with ideas that have no future.
You're hurting Ray Kurzweil's feelings.
PS - size is everything. In this case, smaller lobster = sweeter and more tender.
Mmm, lobster version of veal.
PS, your 'PS' above is not, as it does not come after your signature.
Wait...

I may not be one of the editors, but I find myself making some of the same mistakes the editor made.
Which is fine, since your job title probably doesn't include the word 'editor'.

No problem Mr Shimomura.
WHAT... is the airspeed velocity of an unladen sparrow?
If my first pet was a goat, I think 'George W. Bush' would be the perfect name for it.
Oh, the AC read it. Copy pastaed it in fact. The first two 'graphs. Right up until continuing would have appeared even dumber than what he did copy.
ummm, actually trade really is pretty much a zero sum game. you might want to take an intro to international econ class or something...
Only in the long run. And you know what Keynes had to say about the 'long run'...
I once used the wrong lubricant. My wife still hasn't let me live that one down.
Weird. She's so excited to see me that I've never had to use any lubricant on her.
