Hah. I do. Unmarried couple, she's a childhood friend of my wife and was on welfare and her "roommate" (read: babydaddy) had a job. They bought an absolutely huge TV for approx $5000 back when they cost that much.
You know, rather than buying food for the baby and staying off welfare.
and no need to "install" any Windows-only "Verizon High Speed Internet CD" to use Verizon DSL.
You sure about that? That is the only way my ISP provides to configure the DSL modem. They don't ever tell you a user name and password or give instructions to configure the modem manually.
The tag "bushcrimesyndicate" is inaccurate. For those of you who haven't read the Constitution, Congress is responsible for setting up all Federal courts, including the FISA court (surely nobody believes that Bush created FISA...).
Separation of church and state, don't forget that "under god" was added to the anthem and constitution in the 1950's unlawfully. This shit is getting out of fucking hand. Those mother fuckers.
Which amendment to the constitution added "under god"?
Aspirin, for example, comes from willow bark originally.
No, it does not.
The active ingredient in willow bark is salicylic acid. The active ingredient in Aspirin is, and always has been acetylsalicylic acid. It is a related chemical that was originally produced by a chemist from reactions with salicylic acid. They are not the same and you cannot simply state that Aspirin simply "comes from willow bark originally." It's like saying sucralose comes from sugar cane originally.
The reason pkill uses -v to negate the match is because it is a variation on the pgrep command, which is used to grep for processes. So, its options are much more like grep.
So, what option does grep use to negate the match?
Developers who are excluded from the thing for bullshit reasons, can.
Anybody can sue anybody else for anything. Doesn't mean it will get far.
The same developers agreed to let Apple review every app.
people have 2 year contracts and payed a lot for this thing before Apple decided to take this captive market and abuse their position to favor their own potential future business models
Thing is... the first version of the iPhone didn't have an app store at all. Everyone who chose to upgrade to the new software did so for no additional charge *after* they'd signed the contract (clever move on Apple's part). Everyone else signed up after the new app store was in place, surely having read the fine print in the contract, right? So who is being damaged here?
They absolutely should not be allowed to exclude applications from the thing simply because it might threaten their business model, EVEN IF they have used to SDK license to exclude those things. It's ridiculous and i hope they get sued.
Why not? Nobody held a gun to your head and made you buy one or write any software for it.
Should I sue my local grocery store for not carrying Lawry's Beef Stroganoff seasoning mix, even though I have asked them to? No. I simply shop somewhere else.
Now go buy a Windows Mobile or PalmOS-based device (or wait for Android), and you won't have to worry about what Apple does and does not let people do. Simple.
Vote with your money, people. If you don't like something, why the f*** would you pay for it? We're not talking about a monopoly here.
1. American workers are less educated than others. 2. American companies are very hierarchial, making adaptations to new circumstances slow. 3. Patents and gigantic auxilliary legal costs. 4. Poor IT infrastructure. 5. The fact that driving people to work 60h/week with no sick leave and minimal vacations is worse for efficiency than having your staff working regular 40h/week schedules.
Nice list of generalizations. I'm a systems administrator at a big hierarchical American company and we seem to be doing fine at adapting to the market. Our IT infrastructure is also fine. Topping it all, I get almost 4 weeks vacation and sick leave, paid parental leave, etc.
It is pretty damn close. Comply or have it taken away.
The money involved will be used by the government and healthy majority who are bearing the costs to regulate the choices and behavior of those dependent on the government income.
For example, willow bark can be sold as a supplement. It's active components are backed by long term clinical studies and it has been used in medicine for thousands of years and thus qualifies for exemption from FDA evaluation. You might be more familiar with the extract form that has been evaluated by the FDA, known as Asprin.
Incorrect. Aspirin is not an extract of willow bark. The extract from willow bark that you refer to is salicylic acid. Asprin is acetosalicylic acid and was first produced by chemical alteration of salicylic acid. (Aspirin is metabolized by the body into salicylic acid).
It sucks. As do all the things that open up on the side of the page like the history (ctrl-h) and bookmarks (ctrl-b) in FireFox.
I really don't like things to open or display on the side in most cases, except in file browsers that have the directory tree on the left and files on the right. (Just so you know: when I put post-it tabs on dead tree books, I put them at the top).
I've got a really neat and revolutionary idea, though: Why not let the user decide where the tabs go? Then they can go on the top, the bottom, the left, the right, or even maybe a floating window!!! I should file for a patent.

As someone who lives in a country with a National Health Service, it tickles me to see it sandwiched between two "impossible ideals".
You still pay to go to the doctor. You just don't think about it when you pay your taxes.
The funny thing is that you pay to go to the doctor whether you go to the doctor or not.
Does it matter? Congress created this mess whem they created a secret court. I don't see them stepping up to do anything about it.
They are all at fault.

"politiciancrimesyndicate" is much more accurate.
For the record, in this case it is "he"...

So, would anyone like to buy my new T-shirt, it says "There is no place like 2130706433."
Yeah, well, real admins learned to type on their own and never use the right-shift key.

Fixed that for you.
Stopped reading your reply after that.
To be fair, during DST many people get more daylight where they are not trapped in a windowless office in a concrete and steel building.
Light does not penetrate solid objects!
Really?
I can give a multitude of counterexamples to this statement. I think you meant "opaque objects" here.

"mono e mono"
Mano a mano.
What's really funny is that "mono e mono" in Spanish means something like "monkey and monkey."

What good is a few more years of life if you are totally and completely dependent on your government?
I'd rather die young and (relatively) free than old and enslaved.
Awesome! Then we can have the great customer service and dedication that the government is most known for!

Try it for a day. Then comment.

But what about those of us who absolutely hate tabs at the side? For me, width of the page is more important.
