I think that's a worthy investment. Aerospace industry need money as gas prices also affected their sales, hookers need to feed their little brothers and sisters. Where would you rather have them spend all that money? On Mexican workers crossing the border illegaly to work here and build their cars for cheap?
You sound like quite a heartless person. Goverment should tax you more.
They don't lie, they just express their own, corporate, nonobjective, exaggerated and skewed point of view and expect us to believe it. Apple didn't invent it but for fear of being sued by shareholders, they have to perpetuate it. Sad. Ok, time for me to tune-in to the shopping channel and get some facts.
I think we already saved thousands if not millions of trees since on-line media came about. Give yourself a nice tap in the back if you didn't print this. We don't have paper-less offices but offices with a lot less paper. I think this is just inevitable industry displacement.
In Canada although it is not illegal for merchands to ask for your Social Insurance Number you are not legally required to give it. If they refuse the sale, you can make a complaint to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Wish it was all so. Unfortunately, it's often not the case. Having been laid off before, it's has usually been as a result of a merger or being bought off. Not that the company did badly where we were, the entire operation shut down (us included), about a year after the purchase.
Loyalty to the company hasn't helped anyone I know. If share holders are near sighted idiots and management unable to lead, it's game over.
I don't know about these details but I know that the reason why we have outstanding video cards today is because of the fierce competition between ATI and NVIDIA. If ATI/AMD fails then we as consumers will only see high priced cards with lower performance and less features. I can see this happening now with CPUs. Intel has sat on their P4 for so long that it allowed AMD to push ahead with the Athlon. Now Intel woke-up and invested more in R&D to release the Core Duos, Core II Duos and so on. AMD hasn't yet been able to push ahead and it might not have the backbone to do so any longer. Shame.
As an ex-Nissan and current owner of two Toyota I would disagree. I would say both are equally well designed and engineered. Never had a problem with a knob in either case. Nissan's had serious problems with turbos back in the late 80s so you might have been lucky. Toyota has been out of the high performance market now focusing on value, hybrids and reliability. Either is a great choice. I base my choice on the quality of the local dealer. (This is in North America so things might be different where you live.)
Personally, I prefer the recent ATI cards over NVIDIAs. It would be a shame if the move made would deny consumers of a choice. Maybe they can make the point that this move from NVIDIA is anti-competitive and will cause harm to consumers.
Of course, because flies feed on the refuse left behind after the destruction, death, and resultant decay.
Yeah but Gary, if there is total and complete destruction as you seem to imply, flies will die soon after as flies need loads and loads of crap to survive. No life, no crap. Which logically means that Obama's decisions will generate at least sufficient crap for flies to maintain their place in the circle of life.
I bet you thought he'd care only about the big issues.
That's true but I'm unsure if it was done as an act of self preservation (if I don't do it someone else will) or with the intent to use them to sue everyone and make the legal department a profit center. According to their track record (I didn't check it but I've not heard of them in the news much as patent predators), I would tend to believe it is likely for self preservation.
A burn is a burn, cold coffee is cold coffee. You be the judge. I always order my latte with milk at 150F otherwise I can't drink it for several minutes.
Sure. You're 100% correct. Why can't I snoop your bank account's user name and password? All that encryption is getting in the way. Oh wait, I got it now. Thanks to the new law from the Minister of Public Safety.
I'm a man, I know exactly where I'm going and how to get there. If I get lost, I don't need a GPS nor anyone else to get back on track. If I don't get back on track, at least I've discovered new lands and people which is all part of the journey. My moto: delivery in more than 30 minutes or its free.
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom. Dwight D. Eisenhower
Exposing wrong doing doesn't require someone to be identifiable but rather a trigger that might launch an investigation to confirm if there is in fact wrong doing and take corrective actions if necessary. For example, as a public servant your discover irregularities in the paperwork, you take it to you boss who says "everything is fine, don't worry about it." You feel obliged to do something but are afraid of losing your job and maybe your career, so you expose this scheme anonymously in a blog about government wrong doings. Unless there is a law that protects whistle blowers, you will likely be in trouble.
On top of that, your local laws may overrule the MS license agreement and permit you all kinds of things. Like downgrading to DOS 3.1 if you wish. Don't believe that your rights are delivered in a shrink wrapped package with a hologram on it. In fact, you can simply strike out any part of the agreement you don't agree with, send it by mail to MS and ask them that you made changes to their agreement because you didn't agree with it.
some day I'm going to try to explain to my grandkids about how we carried around computers that needed their own bags, that weighed 'pounds!' and they'll laugh at something so absurd.
You should tell them about the time when you had to go inside the computer to repair it.
It is also said that this strain causes much more severe reactions that the regular flu. I've heard of very high fever, vomiting, severe diarrhoea, fluid in the lungs, etc. which typically urges a visit to a health professional, hence the relatively accurate count of infected people. Although it is not lethal in most cases, a combination of a predisposition to illness probably increase morbidity of H1N1.
All we can do is get better at making vaccines quickly and all this will no longer be newsworthy.
In my opinion, all volcanoes are all "super." Monsters like Mt. Etna and Vesuvius would be typical in size. Super would be what? The size of Cuba, Iceland, Tasmania - that would be super. How about exovolcanoes (or is it exoplanetary volcanoes)? Do you use the same scale?
I suppose that since the Mt. St-Helens is in the USA, it must be a super something.

Loan my ass.
That money is fucking gone.
Spent on hookers and blow in private jets.

If it is found out that his liver came from a PC user will he then say that "I'm also a PC?"
Good luck Steve.

A people that values its safety above its freedom soon loses both. (a twist from a D.D. Eisenhower's quote)
It's called industry displacement. Trust me, you want to stay ahead of it. Next up, automobiles which run on fossil fuels.
They also allow it on the BB storm.
Real iPhone users don't need copy and paste. So the feature is irrelevant.

but more importantly, terrorists will not target prisons.
