That's my unfortunate trauma of suddenly only being able to speak in lithuanian.
This accidental trauma might occur again with the two other languages I know.
It's my failsafe for a lifetime non-compete. I was supposed to let the company know every job change I have had since I left. I told a friend of mine at the former workplace where I worked that I was working for my dad's consulting business - In lithuanian, which he didn't understand - and since the non compete never mentioned second jobs to the one you told them - well, that's their fault right?
I've never changed from working for my dad, I don't get paid mind you, and I don't actually do anything - but I am employed as a consultant.
Keep the paperwork and just be a dick. The law lets you find a bigger companies rules and will use that documentation if the business decides to come after you.
When I see a pierced nose, I wonder if it squirts when you have a cold. When I see some guy with stretched earlobes, I just envision using the lobes as places to hang clothing. Or maybe hams.
I think the only body enhancement that I do see that evokes anything but wondering why someone would be so stupid is breast implants. For them I feel sorry for them that they didn't think they were good enough without them.
I wonder why people feel the need to cut themselves off from excellent careers by doing that crap to themselves. I had long hair when growing up. Went to a crew cut after I finished college.
And if I programmed the machines to not destroy the cells during the upload - what would happen?
Nice concept, but there's a big gaping hole in practice.
Granted, you won't care (as a replica) when the meat suit dies and takes the actual conscious with it.
And when a meatsuit replicates your hard drive 20 times and you meet 20 different versions of "yourself" I'll hope that the software can keep you from panicking.
Dead is dead. All you can hope for is an afterlife. PC based will never count.
If you die and Broadhead's wife uploads you to be able to talk to the dead heechee - you never got to talk to the heechee - cause you died.
The ONLY way YOU can be uploaded and still be YOU is you believe you have a conscious soul that accompanies the upload.
That being said, if you don't die during the upload, are you still having that soul? Do you hear the upload in your mind? Or like a book I can't remember, do you have to be vaporized when a copy of you is made?
I hope the loss in revenue from high cost countries will be beneficial to them as low cost countries will be the only one buying HP.
I've certainly decided to never buy HP again.
It's amazing to think about the stupidity of killing off rich markets in order to gain an initial profit before you're forced to sell your product to more poorer markets.
It'll be interesting to see how much they end up selling printer ink for in Somalia.
Yep - people who aren't printing photos all the time need to stop buying inkjets. They dry up, they are expensive, and the cheap cost of the printer is following the razor model of give away the expensive part and overcharge for the refillable.
I have two printers, one a BW brother laser that I use for quantity printing, and a HP m177 laser that does the color printing. I can not have to print anything for two months, and then have a non ink dried copy pop out on demand.
The brother cost me 60 bucks, the m177 cost me 144 bucks. I couldn't be happier.
The a-10 is my favorite weapons platform. The AC 130 is my second favorite.
My favorite jet is the SR-71.
I'm hoping that we haven't learned yet what replaced the SR-71 , cause if it's just satellites and the x-37b - my childhood awe of a jet traveling over 2000 mph will be crushed.
My fingers are crossed that the aurora is really an asset. That would make my inner child very happy.
Above is the poo pickup cost which punishes all owners - but seriously - you pay the cop to forensically get poo. then pay the lab to DNA type the poo, then Search for poo matches.
Is that cheaper than just paying a few people to walk around and pick up garbage, clean up bird shit, scrape gum, and get rid of dog poo?
I took the shuttle to the moonbase yesterday - It's a good thing that in 1999 the nuclear dump didn't blow up and send the moon hurtling off into deep space like the tv showed me in the 70's.
I think we're a bit behind on terraforming tho. I just wish the cost of plutonium fuel for my Underwater home reactor would drop, cause wow, it's still unobtanium.
Now, where's my food pills that contain everything I need to survive without having to actually eat - they have to be around here somewhere.... Damned old age...

Hungarian (miming matches) My hovercraft is full of eels. Tobacconist Matches, matches? (showing some) Hungarian Yah, yah. (he takes cigarettes and matches and pulls out loose change; he consults his book) Er, do you want... do you want to come back to my place, bouncy bouncy? Tobacconist I don't think you're using that right. Hungarian You great pouf. Tobacconist That'll be six and six, please. Hungarian If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? I am no longer infected. Tobacconist (miming that he wants to see the book; he takes the book) It costs six and six...(mumbling as he searches) Costs six and six... Here we are...

Hungarian hits him between the eyes. Policeman walking along the street suddenly stops and puts his hand to his ear. He starts running down the street, round corner and down another street, round yet another corner and down another street into the shop Policeman What's going on here then? Hungarian (opening book and pointing at tobacconist) You have beautiful thighs. Policeman What? Tobacconist He hit me. Hungarian Drop your panties, Sir William, I cannot wait till lunchtime. Policeman Right! (grabs him and drags him out) Hungarian My nipples explode with delight.
The Gunmen briefly reappeared several months later, as ghosts with whom Mulder seemed to be able to communicate. The trio appeared to him alone, at the side of a road on the Texas-New Mexico border at approximately 5:07 a.m., while Mulder was urinating, having stopped off on the way to New Mexico. Apparently, the apparitions of the Lone Gunmen tried to dissuade Mulder from proceeding to New Mexico with Scully and continuing to search for the truth of colonization once there, but Mulder ignored their warnings and continued on his way. (TXF: "The Truth")
In the comic book adaptation of the series The X-Files Season 10â"which takes place after the events of The X-Files: I Want to Believeâ"it is revealed that the Lone Gunmen are alive and well, having faked their deaths during the events of "Jump the Shark". The group was aided by the FBI and have since been working underground, aiding the US government; for instance, Langly mentions that he was responsible for the Stuxnet virus in 2010. However, this retcon wouldn't make any sense at all since The Lone Gunmen showed themselves to Mulder as a ghost in the Truth.
It pissed me off when they killed the the lone gunmen off since it was a series I enjoyed. Having them show up as ghosts confirmed the deaths.
It's going to have to be an amazing explanation to explain the whole ghost bit.
I'll enjoy watching x-files again - but I'm flipping my middle finger at the idiots that think that this kind of retcon will relaunch the series.

Not according to the article posted.
I'm not a thief, and I won't load adobe on my system.
Unlike other stupid people.
I'm not stupid enough to pay for commercials - so I can't.
How much will it cost to change the rules about sonic booms, and what's going to be the window replacement cost for people under the flight?
The easiest way to improve efficiency for the younger IT crowd is to take their smartphone away.
That way their thumbs can be used on a keyboard instead of in IM's.
Smartphones waste more time than smoke breaks do. I smile every time a tapatalker gets walked out.

p.s. - on a side note, if you search google shopping for the "n" word (spelled out like it's used in rap) they have tons of stuff you can buy....
I searched google shopping for a confederate flag.
No results.
I'll stick with duck duck go.
Star Trek was pitched as a copy of "Wagon Train" only to other stars. Not Gulliver's travels.
And I wonder if they ever let that NBC executive out from when he got locked in the closet over cancelling what turned out to be a massive franchise.
My bets is He's still there and mummified.

In 85 years we'll have flying cars, submersible habitats, colonies on the moon, we'll be terraforming Mars and flying around in spaceships.
Course, all that was supposed to have happened - well, now According to the "experts".

The reason it "smells funny" is because they are going the facebook route.
You had to give an email that you had to verify, and everyone that has verified that goes into your contacts list will be matched and mapped.
Your calender and other info will helpfully be uploaded as well as your pictures. Adobe Flash is also included into the system, but can't be removed.
If you try to remove groove music you'll get blocked. etc etc.
