    It depends on the city. Many cities in the US are calling their buses 'metro buses'.

    Actually, you're not right....
    It's mixing/morphing of the opposite sexes dress and character style into your own without actually taking the sexual nature of that gender.

    It's an idea, there's nothing more than that.

    the name "minutemen" is used for unofficial "posse" style people who create vigilante groups and go into the desert with guns. They use that name to make themselves feel like they're holding the fort for the country, at the border.

    Now, I'm sure you can extrapolate.

    . In the current political climate, as an immigrant, I am avoiding Arizona entirely unless it's absolutely required.

    Believe me, you're safe as long as you're not ILLEGAL.

    There are lots of immigrants there, Arizona just doesn't like those that are there illegally. That's all.

    You realize that Joe Arpaio is the SHERIFF in the MARICOPA COUNTY.
    Not Arizona.
    If you only knew wtf was happening, you wouldn't say it's an embarrassment, you'd be patting him on the back. There's nothing wrong with sending illegal immigrants back to their country, no matter how much you want them here. They're "Illegal". That word means something, no matter how cool you think they are.

    The thing to remember is that the universe is by no means one constant motion.

    The earth has an eccentric orbit, and the planet itself wobbles on it's spinning axis. (think of a top)
    Add in other gravitational pulls from objects around Earth (and other objects in space), and it's all chaos theory in it's truest form.

    It's not like one thing happens on this planet at a time. In fact, it's possible for two things to happen!

    The only thing invented in the last decade was Active Directory (LDAP with extensions & encryption over a Windows protocol) and Volumes on the harddrive(s).

    Other than that, it's been surface dressing of what already exists.

    It's not about money, it's about clout and about capital.

    Once you have your placeholder in the business and keep it up, your money is the reward. The money isn't the goal, it's the mechanisms to get the money.

    The state of the competition is good, not sure what you're talking about.

    Playstation 3 is phenomenal, and Wii is hitting it's next incarnation. The thing is, the people doing Wii would never do XBox. Playstation 3 is the main competition.

    Personally I think Microsoft had the keys to the castle in their hands, with Windows. Even I loved the concept, when it came about! It was the bees knees!
    The issue was, they didn't enhance it fast enough to really be anything more than a "bug fix" kinda thing. I mean, any advancements were fought tooth and nail. The OS/2 battles were the only thing I could see that made them move away from their little island of 16-bit Windows with 32-bit dll extensions and an 8-bit OS holding it.

    It was the reason I jumped on Linux when it was invented, like the only hot girl in school.

  21. Time Machine (or some equivalent) on Can a Regular Person Repair a Damaged Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    The easy way to fix it is to use Time Machine (or some equivalent), then when the drive dies you replace it.
    Really, it's the easiest fix since putting a drive into your system only takes 15 mins - 1 hour (depending on the system... generic PC case Vs iMac/Macbook Pro), installing the OS only takes about 30 mins - 1 hour, and restoring from Time Machine (or it's equivalent) is probably the longest part.

    Or just go RAID.

    Be sure to chamfer the whole edges first. Sometimes, the sharp edges cause a bit of a flow issue.

    Of course the person doing it will have to have discretion, since most of us are used to companies who have at least one guy who reimages systems. If this is not the case, resist blitzing the contents. It's honestly that simple...
