Umm, the downside of using GM crops isn't that the crops are bad for us or anything, it's that keeping back seed to plant for next year is illegal per the EULA that comes on the seed bag.
What this does is keep indigenous farmers (all those starving people) permanently in debt to the big AgroCorps, because they have to buy seed (and the specialty fertilizers, oh yeah, and the specialty insecticides) every year to maintain those high yields.
Worse, because the fucking plants hybridize in the wild (even though on planet Monsanto they don't), farmers who DON'T use the GM crops have been sued, even jailed (in Mexico) because their natural crop hybridized with the GM crops on the next farm over. The genes are present, so they must be stealing Monsanto's IP.
While some moonbats bitch because 'it's like frankenfood, man', the larger principle of 'DRM'ed' food crops is what drives much of the debate.
Trying to move database tables from one server to another is also a major pain in the ass
Hmmm:
exp and imp aren't all that hard to use. You do have to answer horribly difficult questions like "Export table data? y/n" and you can move the entire tablespace in on swell foop.
"After all, you are responsible for your actions."
Oh, and the online actions of every other person on the web with the same name as yours....
According to google I'm a sculptor, a SOAP programmer, the Lieutenant Governor of Ohio....and no ACTUAL reference to me turns up in 6 pages of Googling other than a long-gone website reference.
So, are you SURE you're googling the right person?
Who were just *bleeping* lucky that they were a little company when they started, because the Xerox of 1978 couldn't have figured out that selling water to a thirsty man is good business.
The sheer amount of stuff Xerox invented, then pissed away, is staggering.
The inventor of the laser printer nearly got fired for even suggesting the idea. He was kicked out of the company's prestigious NY R&D facilities, exiled to Palo Alto with all those damned hippies at PARC, and given virtually no support.
In the end they let HP go on to dominate the printer industry.
They gave away the GUI to Apple for a song (all the stock Xerox got in return for the GUI was sold a month or so before Apple's stock price doubled.)
Bob Metcalfe invented ethernet there, they let him have the invention, and so begat 3Com.
They damned near gave away the copier business to various other competitors though sheer incompetence.
The Outbound was not an unauthorized clone, it was simply a remanufactured Mac Pls or SE. They bought Macs, ripped out the motherboards, and put them in a more portable form factor.
The Freeplay radio (most likely the provider of the power source of these things) subsidizes it's radio giveaways to the Third World by selling their product to wealthy consumers in the rest of the world. http://www.freeplayenergy.com/index.php?section=ho me
That's because people don't properly dismount them before yanking them out. 49 times out of 50, nothing happens; all you get is the warning about properly removing a device. That one time in 50, thoiugh, your directory structure turns into confetti.
Learned that the hard way, a 256 MB stick nearly full of files turned into a pile of 4K file stubs. A reformat fixed it and it's still going strong; I've had it for quite a while now, it's one of the first gen Sandisk Cruzers.
Actually, the OS X 'port' simply doesn't run at all.
It starts, spits some error about fonts to the console, and quits:
No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org/ bash: no job control in this shell Quitting XDarwin...
OTHER X11 apps run just fine, this is 10.4 with Apple's X11.
actually it wasn't AOL, ironically, that did this, it was GE-Compuserve.
AOL actually learned from Compuserve's error (just dumping all its users into that thar intarnet with no preparation) and did a fair bit of netiqutte education ("Don't do this, it'll get you YELLED AT")...which minimized their impact somewhat.
Of course, anyone who'd been on the net before that had survived the shock the advent of Eternal September.
And I STILL hold a grudge against those damn Green Card lawyerturds.
No; all the court has to do is sign a document with it's private key, (so you know it's an authentic court document) then sign it with your public key.
Only the person who possesses their private key can decrypt something encrypted with their public key.
You NEVER need to give away your private key to anyone to prove you have your private key.

for that matter, neither is an RPG, at least none in the field today.
RPG's are only effective against more lightly armored vehicles, such as trucks, Humvees and some parts of an APC.

perhaps Unix is supposed to support multiple users. I'd wager 99% of the OSX Macs on the net have only one, or perhaps one for each family member.
Random strangers do not get accounts.
Hardly. I saw it and loved it as an adult when it first came out. Saw it numerous times then and over the years...it holds up quite well.
You merely need to be able to accept the film on it's merits, not it's technique.
If you go into it expecting hyper-realistic SFX, you're going to be disappointed.
If you go in with no preconceptions, that's a different story.

A decade? try two decades. Appletalk was introduced with the Mac itself in 1984.

It's stunning Xerox is still around as a company.
One study, on a very narrow subject scope.

No, iTunes sales have only gone down in ONE WEEK of this quarter compared to the AVERAGE of the last quarter.
And that one week included Thanksgiving...how many people buy music sitting in an airport or on the road in a snowstorm?
Ahhh, a Lucas Water Heater...
That's just stupid.

That was because both of those upgrades were new versions of the program. A lot of that thundering rush was Windows users upgrading Photoshop, too.
I suspect that companies whose product runs acceptably under rosetta will wait until the next point rev to roll in intel native-ness
Also don't forget, it's not like theres going to be a huge number of those machines out there at first.
Intel macs are going to be in the minority of the installed base for *years* to come.

No it won't. Microsoft dropped all IE development for the Mac when Safari came out.
