Agreed. We bought a new PC back around '95 which came with Encarta. While we did have internet, I have fond memories of browsing through Encarta just looking through the articles. The one that most stands out in my mind was the moon landing page which had the actual video footage of Armstrong first stepping down. Brittanica couldn't compete with that.
And what are you to do when everything is fine, you already have a kid and then things go to shit? You can't have a 15th trimester abortion. Or are you advocating for the couple from "Idiocracy" whom wait until everything is just perfect to have a child only to realize that it never will be except for a tiny fraction of the population.
Shit happens, you deal with it. I am a middle class single father and yes it is hard but you make it work because you have to. You try your best, be a good parent, give your children an understanding of why you don't spoil the crap out of them and make the best out of life. The only thing I regret is that when things are so hectic and haphazard it is very difficult to put in the effort to make them less so in the future. Essentially, you have to focus on the present so a future exists, which can be short sighted.
They did abandon tools that didn't help them grow their crops as efficiently. Hence why it is currently rare to find horse drawn plows instead of Gas/Electric.
Sorry but nobody outside of Canada is going to convert the currency of South Africa to the currency of Canada to clarify the amount of money stolen. It is quite obvious that the use of $ meant USD, just like it does 95% of the time on the internet. If you want to have hurt feelings, go right on ahead.
Contextually speaking how many of those other currencies would realistically be the intent of the $ in front of this figure? I am aware other countries use the $ symbol however it is completely pointless to create an article where you convert the South Africa currency to Canadian. It is very obvious, even to the worst pedantic, that they were talking USD.
No to mention that the first life had an advantage in there currently being no existing life to compete with. Any new life would immediately have to compete with heavily evolved organisms that do not see the new life as special... just as a new snack.
The Neolithic life expectancy at birth was 20. Granted that had a lot to do with the fact that living past 5 was extremely difficult.
So the point? Your health gains from eating nuts, berries and wild rabbit while roaming the plains will be outweighed by the lack of medicine, basic hygiene and your ability to not being eaten, impaled, stomped, infected or worse by something. To your point... by how much? How long would cavemen have lived with modern medicine and hygiene while still roaming around the woods wearing rugs and hitting tigers with sticks?

Yes, I am sure someone once told him that they didn't like the iPhone because everyone had one but Android was confusing because it didn't look like the iPhone. They probably then said "This sucks, I wish there was a phone that wasn't lame" which obviously Nokia is delivering.
Yes, because the numbers suggest that a large number of young people still prefer Android and the iPhone.
Yes, obviously. That is corporate speak where you can be right, wrong and a pimp at the same time. Remember, you can spin facts and statistics anyway you want.
As someone posted above this was the worst possible excuse they could have used. First as you pointed out, it would be incredibly difficult to torrent large files over a spoofed IP address without them noticing. Second by making a claim that it is easy to spoof they just threw out the MPAA/RIAA case about IP address = Person. So either way... an employee did it or they invalidate the big enforcement tool against the public.
Unless they want to say "Its really hard to spoof and 99.99% of the time the IP is the person, but... umm... not us." I get the feeling this is the most likely response.
I find the opposite now. I used to be able to push the power button and go take care of something for 5 minutes. Now I push the power button and have at most 30 seconds which is just enough time to not really be able to get something done but just long enough to be annoying to sit through.
The style of writing is a tool. Typing will always be faster and more readable than cursive. I see no point in teaching cursive as anything but a form of art and even then eh. It no longer serves a functional purpose.
and the western media seems not to care all that much about the situation.
Hmm... lets check.
CNN.com... first 5 stories on front page are about Iran. MSNBC.com... multiple stories including a video of protesters on front page. FoxNews.com... multiple articles again on front page. Most seem to be about the shutdown of media. ABCnews.go.com... again multiple articles on front page. BBC.co.uk... I do not see anything on front page.
What this proves, I have no clue... but western media is definitely covering it.

I find your use of "old fashioned" interesting here.

If that is the case, you didn't drink enough.
All it was doing is telling the local ladies to sleep with the local peoples of Jewish or African decent!

Motorola didn't license the Lucasfilm trademark for Droid. Verizon did. Motorola actually calls the phone Milestone.
This is part of why the word Droid doesn't physically show up on the phone as Motorola doesn't have the right to put it there.

Yo wombatmobile I know you just posted and all and I'm gonna let you finish... but South Park made the best human fish love this year.

The funny part is as long as someone video tapes it or takes photos during, it is legal as pornography.
That always seemed like a loophole to me that could be exploited if a brothel just called itself a "Porn Studio" instead.
