I have to say, I'm pretty dang happy with the stability of my XP computer. And it does a LOT of different things...well.
No reason to fight through that morass again. Yet still, I know...when it does go down...I'll have little choice but to pay the Microsoft tax, one way or another.
Unfortunately your definition predates modern politics.
State's right haven't been an issue since the "right" lost the civil war.
Since then, most everyone on the national level is for a strong central government (kind of a self-selecting kind of thing), and 'state's rights' are a topic by topic thing (i.e. if federal laws are in your favor, you like them. If they aren't, you don't).
I can't really afford a full child at the moment. Is there some type of installment/incubation plan that I might be able to participate in? Perhaps something where I could deposit a little bit at a time and eventually have an entire child to use toward the purchase of a laptop?
no doubt. The latest "upgrade" installed the yahoo toolbar and if your miss the "please don't fuck me" button, it resets your homepage and takes over all "default" searches.
But just imagine, it wasnt made by Apple - say it was a Motorola, or Erikson, or billy magoo. It's the exact same design, exact same features, exact same software. Would we be talking about it right now?
If you turn off the radio, your treo will last about as last as the Sandisk. This is the downside to convergence. Yes, you can have all your needs serviced by a single device...but then it is a single point of failure.
It's a tricky line to walk, but Apple could hit it right, if they do it.
IMHO, the screen won't be very good for typing and it will take another version before the BAD bugs get worked out. I know Apple is good at launching producent and manufacturing, but it took Treo/Palm about 3-4 versions before getting a working product...and it still has issues. I can't imagine Apple is going to solve all those problems, manufacturer a ton of a very high tech device, and make everyone happy with one product.
We'll see, but I'm predicting something of a wash on this version of the iP.

Death, taxes and music....sounds like a fair deal to me.
For one thing, Google's results are much too noisy. For another, it relies on keywords occurring on pages, and that's rather primitive
No it doesn't. The genius of google was that it relies on people linking to pages talking about keywords. And uses various tools to identify and promote good linkers.
But the most important reason is that it would be much cooler to have a web where you could say "give me a list of all the goals scored by Romario" and have it list them for me.
That's a curious thing to ask for, since the first google result is a story about how there is a good bit of controversy surrounding Romario's "1,000" goals. The problem is your request is to vague and doesn't define all the words within itself (i.e. does a goal scored as teenager in a different league count?).
This goal is quite a bit higher than many realize, as you could get 10 people (5 of them experts) in a room and they wouldn't necessarily be able to agree on the "right" answer.
To ask, or even demand, that computers do the same task as a background function is ludicrious, IMHO (at least when applied to a universal context).
Funny how we're so happy to go-it-alone on some issues [WAR FOR OIL], yet perfectly content to bemoan the lack of international cooperation on others [CONSERVATION OF OIL], no?
Funny indeed. It's almost like we're being led by a couple people who have slightly different prerogatives than the rest of the country.
I'm an accountant. You don't understand deferred compensation.
I'm a forensic accountant, one step away from my CFE. You don't understand how people do a lot of shady stuff to make a lot of money.
When you have someone who is going to be paid with, and have a significant role in spending, tax money, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for him (from a moral standpoint) to use tricks and loopholes to avoid paying taxes.
I've also done a good bit of FCPA work and my main function is bankruptcy. That's all I'll say about that, other than my original post was completely accurate. Cheney was paid both by the U.S. gov't and Halliburton concurrently through FY2005.
The fact that his deferred payment was set up to avoid paying taxes and he funneled a tremendous amount of tax money back to the company that was still paying him speaks volumes about the man. It would be enough to set off alarm bells on darn near all our analysis software.
Why not? It's obvious from the way he structured his payment that avoiding taxes and maximizing his personal profits was the goal,how can you flatly state his past behaviour is no indicator of future behaviour? Also, the company gave him over $30,000,000. Would that not influence you a bit?
Unlike most RTS games that would come later, rather than commanding the action with a disembodied mouse arrow, Herzog Zwei put the player in direct control of a carrier aircraft that they would fly around the battlefield. While capable of transforming into a robot and engaging the enemy on the ground, its greatest strength lay in its ability to transport units. This one element more than anything betrayed the game's console roots, and probably resulted in the game being frequently misjudged as an action title.
It was more of a transitional title than something that would be considered RTS nowadays, kinda link a Dipnoi.
Large black holes are located at the center of galaxies, and their mass can be determined by examining rotation curves, etc. They are not dark matter candidates.
My general understanding is that these large black holes act as something of a "drain" on the galaxy, i.e. sucking everything it can into it leading to that spiral shape.
So what happens when the galaxy is empty and only the hole remains?
That's what I'm asking. -- We can only observe what's in our past light cone, and it is *that* universe which suffers from a budget shortfall of matter/energy.
Gotcha. I had wondered for a while how they were calculating "Big E" without being able to see the universe that got big banged the other direction.
Deferred compensation that was paid AFTER he left, the article makes it seem like he was paid as CEO and as VP AT THE SAME TIME.
The "article" as you call it, is on the homepage for the White House. It makes it "seem" like he was paid as CEO and as VP AT THE SAME TIME, because he WAS PAID AS CEO AND VP AT THE SAME TIME.

Compare the processing and sensor quality of the late '90s with the 2010's.
Moore's law alone gives 128-fold increase. Something that is 128 times better is 128 times better.
Can you really compare a powerglove to a wiimote? Isn't 128 times better? Now add a few more years and we get into the thousands quickly.
Remember, we are still on target for singularity by 2020 or so.
You should see "Flying High II", it's pretty funny. They have the whole cast from the first Flying High, and it stars that guy from "Star Warp".

What the Democrats need to do, consistently, is actually make them fillibuster.
Reid should force them to stay overnight, EVERY TIME. Make the motherfuckers move in until they can pass something, or fall over dead.
Note: This is why Texans and Hawai'ans tends to look a bit down at the other states.
It's just a a way some people found of making money under the guise of world unity.
Imagine that...peace and sharing of culture being profitable....perish the thought.
no doubt. The latest "upgrade" installed the yahoo toolbar and if your miss the "please don't fuck me" button, it resets your homepage and takes over all "default" searches.
Obviously not
/not the same exact software, design, and features...but closer than anything else.

Such as forgetting the HUGHE difference between proper time and what he calls t.
I remember him. Theodore Hughe and his research regarding the quantitative difference between theory and reality, right?
Great stuff. The Hughe Difference is a concept all budding scientists should take to heart.
your analogy sucks...unless you think that it is a myth that BMW's are more expensive than Chevy's.
You have, in fact, illustrated exactly *why* people are correct to assume that Macs cost more than PCs (which they literrally do).

FTFY.
There's also the possibility that some human action is unknowingly mimicking a nasty natural one.
Possibly...but not likely. Seems more likely it's something along these lines.
If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.`
It's not talking about the solar max of 107,993 BC.
