Nn this decade owning AAPL would have been a *much* better move. There's also this amazing (to me, anyway) tidbit: Apple's retails stores have higher sales per square foot than Tiffany's.
We call that chopped sirloin in this restaurant, buddy.
You seem to have triggered some long-dead brain cells, as you've caused me to recall this song from a zillion years ago:
(to the tune of Downtown)
When you eat meat, but hate the meat that you're eating then you've surely got...ground round.
It's so unnerving when they're constantly serving in an eating spot - ground round.
It may be called a chopped steak a salisbury or beef patty,
no matter what it's called it's always overcooked and fatty...what can you do?
Sound off to your waiter there, and loudly pound on your table, stand up on your chair and shout...
Ground round! Why must it always be...Ground Round! Constantly serving me....Ground round, why must it always we be ground round, ground round, ground round.....................
I think it was a Mad Magazine parody. Why in the world I can remember all the lyrics is beyond me.
So you either have to blindly trust companies or live like a hermit?
Yes, if your only reason for not trusting is that they are motivated by profit. Pretty much anybody who needs to put food on the table is motivated by profit.
If the security agencies want to know, then they've already looked in the firehose section. Therefore, you can assume they know.
That's not the point. Now any average knucklehead googling his name will find this discussion. There was no reason to post his name other than to be a "look how smart I am" dick.
You're comparing your solo living to a large house with many people in it. I have two servers running full time, I use two computers for my work, and I have a few employees who come in five days a week. But all that is beside the point. He was saying that it isn't possible to even draw that much. So the "afghanistan" comment was not about usage, but rather capacity.
The point isn't that a native Spanish speaker can't tell the difference. It's that one would also notice the "pun." I live in a Spanish speaking country, so I'm entirely unfamiliar with it. I'm hardly claiming that people actually believed the car wouldn't go.
is akin to assuming that English speakers woud spurn a dinette set sold under the name Notable because nobody wants a dinette set that doesn't include a table
They might if notable were pronounced like no table. Nova, when spoken, sounds a lot like no va.
Your experience could be the norm but there might be 10% that have those other side effects and maybe those effect show up more if you're young and can already pound nails with it.
I just think it's short-sighted for younger people, especially in their 20's, to use it when they could potentially risk screwing things up later in life.
Sure, my post is just anecdotal. Of all the people i know who use it (and talk about it), the various complaints I've heard are: Headaches, bluish vision, sleepiness, and one guy said he feels like he has a hangover the next morning. But then he drinks a lot, too;-) But they all still use it. It's amazingly reliable. Of all the pills and medicines I've ever taken, it is the one most certain to do what it's supposed to do. It's like magic. If it didn't exist and some guy claimed he had a pill that could perform like it does I'd say he was a crackpot. Man has been searching for it for thousands of years, and now he can buy it for a dollar.
I can tell you my experience with it. In the last five years I've used it often. (I'm 51.) I can get along without it, but with it I'm like a teenager again. I could pound nails with the thing. Other than the natural decreasing of interest with age I've not lost interest. And as for shrinkage, there certainly has been none, and because of the stronger erection, during sex it's larger than it would be without it. There are only two downsides that I've experienced: My face gets a bit flushed, and if I take more than about 30mg it gets so rigid that I lose feeling.
But it's not even close - the advantages *far* outweigh the downside.
And almost everyone I know who's my age uses it. To some it's like Mastercard - they don't leave home without it.
I seriously doubt that many Americas have that many computers, refrigs, AC units, and all that other stuff in their homes.
Well, five days a week I have a couple of employees in here. I have two servers running, and my two computers are running pretty much all the time. Everything else is pretty normal. I did make one concession - I quit running the heater in the pool just because it cost so much.
Similarly, if pubs and bars wanted to cater to smokers, I think they should have been allowed to.
I used to own a bar in California. The way that the smoking ban got passed there was through the argument that the environment was bad for the employees. FWIW, I quickly went broke and had to go back to work as a programmer. In hindsight, I'm a much better programmer than I ever was at being bar owner. And I don't reek of smoke and booze, so that's a plus right there.
The day will come when everyone has a camera attached to them, recording every moment of their lives.
The ramifications will be both amazing and frightening. Fewer disagreements about what was said or what happened. Your life's memories available for replay. Less crime. More overlords.
Not that I back Hasbro, but purchasing the alleged "illegal copy" of their game would have sent the message "Copy our game and do a better job than us, and we will pay you for it rather than prosecuting you"
Except that it would have worked out better for everybody, including Hasbro. And it's not like Hasbro already had one running. By buying this they would have, making it all the more obvious that they would now defend it.
By maintaining higher prices they can cleverly claim greater damages from piracy, giving them more leverage in attempting to influence politicians. They don't need to do that so much in the U.S., where they've already laid so much political groundwork.
Didn't Argentina also recently massively devalue its currency, while at the same time severely limiting bank account withdrawals? That would shake my confidence a bit....
Slashdot Mirror
Where'd you get that fancy cable with the auto-submit-upon-disconnect feature? I'll bet that wasn't cheap.
So you're saying that it would be in Microsoft's interest for companies like Dell to be able to make computers running OS X? A cunning strategy.
It's amusing that Apple now has just about enough cash on hand to be able to cut a check for a controlling interest in Dell.

Reading a bit more carefully, I now realize your comment is tongue in cheek. My apologies.
That's not the point. Now any average knucklehead googling his name will find this discussion. There was no reason to post his name other than to be a "look how smart I am" dick.
And you cannot practice simple human courtesy. WTF compels you to post that?
Good point. Not to mention the people trying to move in.

Good thing you provide that link, or else nobody would have gotten the joke.

They could put a miniature display in it, so you'd have a contextual touch-screen.
See my reply to him. Don't be so quick to question a person's character, as it often says more about yours than his.
