"We'll have the installers right out."
"What installers?"
"The installers have to remove your carpet and re-lay it with our special layer underneath which tracks your footsteps. It's for your safety, and to ensure you're only using your vacuum on approved parts of the floor."
"But......"
"As a disclaimer, some customers have reported getting locked out of their houses because they weigh too much, or walk into an unapproved room."
The bill itself, sponsored by a Democrat, specifically forbids companies from forcing employees to allow access to their social media accounts. The amendment created an exception. An earlier commenter mentioned that the amendment was proposed by somebody with a big (R) next to his name...
I had a hard time finding the entertainment value in this until somebody mentioned Bill Cosby in another post somewhere. Now all I can hear is "Va uvf glcvpny snfuvba Jello Puddin Paaps!" It has made today fairly more tolerable.
That's actually a perfect example. When the power goes out, the rooftop generators kick on and everything continues.
When your business relies entirely on services provided by other parties, you're just asking to be marginalized. If something in some remote datacenter causes your virtual host to completely disappear, you don't have a guy to jog down the hall and see what's up. All you have is a phone call to customer support.
Pascal's Wager doesn't work. If you believe in something because you're hedging your bets, that isn't true belief, and is therefore not faith, and you will go to hell. I would rather not define my life and morals by directly contradicting my own observations.
But more importantly, it responds properly to a well placed and timed pitch-nudge applied via middle and index fingers, or a gentle drag on the platter in transition.
However, I too have been looking for a solution now that Apple is moving in the iOS-y direction for OS X, in terms of a system that lets me keep the awesome BSD power of Mac OS without being confined to Apple's walled garden of App Store restrictions etc.
And it is a tribute to the success of the DOE's Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program (ATVM), a program which was chartered by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush, to accelerate the market for a broad range of promising automotive efficiency technologies
So clearly you should be clad in armor, riding a horse through cities, slicing non-christian heathens to the ground with your broadsword while on the search for the holy grail of Christ.
Interpretations of scripture change. Compassion as a basis for morality does not. Your religion is no better than his.
1) There's no such thing as global warming. (profit)
2) There's global warming, but the scientists are exaggerating. It's not significant. (profit)
3) There's significant global warming, but man doesn't cause it. (profit)
4) Man does cause it, but it's not a net negative. (profit)
5) It is a net negative, but it's not economically possible to tackle it. (profit)
6) We need to tackle global warming, so make the poor pay for it. (profit)
7) Global warming is bad for business. Why did the Democrats not tackle it earlier? (profit)
8) ????
9) Profit.
The speed of sound at sea level is around 1125 ft/sec. There are 5280 ft in a mile. At a distance of 30 miles, that's a little under 141 seconds. Two minutes and twenty one seconds.
If you've ever worked in the private sector for a business that is subject to HIPAA and/or PCI regulations, you'll know that sending it back for repairs is a problem. With laptops that have issues, you're often required to remove the hard drive before shipping it to the manufacturer. This cannot be reasonably done on a surface pro. The very people that have the biggest problem with a sealed device such as the surface pro are the exact same people that Microsoft is primarily relying on selling the surface pro to.

So who sponsored the amendment?
The bill itself, sponsored by a Democrat, specifically forbids companies from forcing employees to allow access to their social media accounts. The amendment created an exception. An earlier commenter mentioned that the amendment was proposed by somebody with a big (R) next to his name...
Admittedly, halfway through, I went from Morgan Freeman to Anthony Hopkins. "Thpthpthpthpthpthpthpthpthpthp."
When the device and its software are subject to central managment, YOU don't manage the device, THEY do. That's the point!
Exactly! So they should go get an iPad!
....Wait. Shit!

I took it as a nostalgia piece, and actually found it to be a welcome relief from all of the other April Fools things.

The Vita at least has Sony backing.
This is exactly why I would prefer this device over a Vita.
I already don't steal music.

Sounds like what you're looking for is... BSD.

Can you read, or were you being sarcastic?
As long as he phrases it well, this concept is referred to as 'comp-time'.
You hadn't heard this term in the Lord of the Rings series?

Common interests. They both produce the same thing.

Mod parent Informative. I wish he were joking.
Nope .. not at all .. I have paid for every bit of music that I own,
You don't own any music. You never have. Read the fine print.
This post should be modded up an additional forty, with a side note that it applies to mobile OSes as well.
