you are suspicious until proven harmless... THIS TIME. so you need to get on www.tsa.gov and find out what raises their neck hairs before you pack. anything you bring is subject to search.
could be worse. for over 30 years, you fly on El Al, it's a total hand search of everything, in the line. of course, the Israleis have reason to be that paranoid.
yes, the workers bought the last Polariod one-step film plant in Holland, days before the machinery was to be junked, and are trying to reinvent the material.
seems Polaroid used up all the critical chemicals before dumping the product, the process is basically lost.
that won't happen for Kodachrome. initially only Kodak processed the film, nobody else, they had at one time 28 labs nationwide. then they outsourced the processing lab at Kansas city to Duane's, and closed the rest.
bet the last film batch was made a couple years ago, and when that's out, that's it.
hint: like the faces of image orthicons, film kept in a freezer does not deteriorate if left in the dehydrated factory package. you could conceivably freeze up all the K-chrome you can find.
but it's a 38 step process requiring, again, specialized chemicals made for the purpose and precise machinery to process K-chrome, so when Duane's folds its lab in 2010, all you have is filmsicles. they'd just be ornaments.
the first article there, of course, is to allow customers of licensed entertainment to use the material as the copyright law allows. and that is reflected in "fair use."
you have to buy something sometime. once you have done so, as long as you own the original licensed copy, you can replicate it on other gadgets for more convenient use. as long as you only use ONE at a time, and don't give any of it away to non-licensed users.
seriously, that's how MBAs see it. what it comes down to is this: if you talk, use no name. if you don't talk, you could use your name, if you could have talked.
or you can post using library computers requiring no check-in procedure, and under the CEO's name.
very bad tragic mistake, leaving many tons of spent and deadly fuel rods in the back yards of reactors everywhere. in little concrete sheds. hundreds or thousands of little dirty bombs waiting for a Wacko bin Looney to park a pickup full of dynamite by.
ought to put a bucket of cracked fuel rods under the desk of every bureaucrat in Washington who came up with this awful decision.
or have you forgotten how fast the net used to be before browsers were configured to verify websites as not being evil, and checking every little link and ad with some cybercop someplace.
but no retail sales. ideally at every level of the distribution chain, you would like to get at least 50% to be able to maintain and grow the business.
if you're not keeping your margin, you are cutting either the future out, or starving the present.
so the Kindle is good ROI and that's why Amazon likes it and is lining up all the product they can to read with it.
if you sell a $30,000 product for $5000 less than the cost of making it, you are GM. this is not supposed to be a good thing.
we can rectify the issue by sending one of our defense contractors over to China. run their economy straight into the ground with cost overruns, under-deliveries, and little failures that go bump in the flight.
long haul comms always run on laser IR light. can't look for it with a broom handle (the smoking part is where the light is) because it's not THAT powerful. doesn't have to be for an eye toaster, though. even visible red multimode fibers should be hack-tested with a dull white paper if you don't have your power meter with you, that's too bright for ya, too.
it's a Federal offense to tamper with regulated communications infrastructure, five years in the slammer and (pitifully inadequate) $5000 fine. they need to catch these weasels, and for once, put them away like the Wacko bin Loonies they are. a garden variety thug in Fargo took that town down for almost a week with a hacksaw a few years ago, and only sat for a year to think about it.

they have a cross-licensing agreement with toyota on hybrid patents.
truly a pearl of great price, I'm sure.

uh, inspector, we have a problem here.... everything seems to have gone dead.

your next general release of SCO Unix will run on the Mattel Aquarius and Coleco Adam only. please to transfer your databases to cassette tape.
and won't, either.
if the disk is jangling like a janitor's key ring, it won't work. if the chips are fried, it won't work.
under any other conditions, SpinRite is just freakin' amazing in what it can do.
still working sporadically on a 1920s Kellogg oak wall phone, which still needs a network. got some working 00A, 01A, and D5A tubes, too.
no really fusty computer hardware left, except a core board from an old posting/billing workstation by NCR from about 1964. 2K, no expansion possible.
skip the three steps, Vatican, and buy this man a gold chair and cape!

it is much more likely that a pig frolicking with chicks came up with this flu strain.
oh, wait, nobody here would understand.....

it's like working dialup again.
that's what the Chinese are up to, ya sure ya betcha then. Sven.
doesn't NYPD patrol the docks? sounds like China wants their lead and mercury exports to look like baby toys and prime beef.
bwa-ha-haaa! the first hack documented

sorry, Mr. President, but you're building another nest of evil, just like Bushie did, in hiring RIAA weasels.

this is entirely believable that "Chairs" Ballmer would try this.
and it defines the upper limit of "too big to fail" by creating a "oh, no, you ain't" point.
