Any fungible good is salable for cheap "secondhand". Or are these batteries supposed to be proprietary, like cell phone batteries? I thought the whole point was interchangability, i.e. fungibility, the property of being able to change a gallon of gas for another gallon of gas and they're the same.
OH! I see now. The problem wasn't that he was harrassing people, it was that he was harrassing *other lawyers*. No wonder he got disbarred. I was about to say how could that be a disbarring offense, as it's nothing new and a lot of lawyers wouldn't keep their license more than a few years.
As someone who's been riding an electric moped for the last few years, I know quite well that electric batteries decrease in capacity over time. This sounds like a great way to use the hell out of my batteries, and then swap them for a brand new set.
The next item is battery theft. You might laugh and say they're too bulky, but battery theft has become a serious problem here. The race between locks and thieves was altered by the presence of a widely adopted new design, so thieves just started pulling batteries out of electric bikes and taking those instead (about a third of the bike's cost to replace). Now, there's a new cage add-on thing that you can buy to enclose your battery in a protective shell. Crazy. Point is, I've been riding around on the same battery for a while, it's time to change, and I wish there was a replacement depot I could dump my old battery on and get a fresh new one for free.
Ah, the "I am a unique snowflake" theory. Forget things like "a well-rounded education". Hey if the kids won't open up their heads, let's just stop teaching them!
PS education is different from vocational training, I think you have the two confused.
Drop that deity worship now, Christian-boy. No wonder you're in a shitty place in life, playing too many video games and talking to an invisible man - not enough education and READING BOOKS.
Haha, good one. How about this? Leftist terrorists were discovered - their plot was to dress as police and then open fire, but they spelled police wrong on their motorbikes, and were arrested when real cops spotted the mistake.
Surely you realize the difference between a civilian nuclear power program and a crash nuclear weapons development project? IIRC, every nation which has developed nukes has similar stories of abuse and malfeasance by top officials.
I just gave a briefing to one of the engineers at this power plant a few weeks ago. Interesting place! It's sort of out in the middle of nowhere, at least as a far as coastal China goes. It's about an hour and a half from here, and the place would never have been built anywhere in the West. There is a Western psuedo-religion that automatically opposes anything with the word "atoms" in the name...it really retards progress. It's the sort of thing that really stands out in relief after you've been out of America for a while and gotten used to the sanity of daily Chinese life. It's really cool when you have a relationship with the guy who grows your vegetables, AND he's just a regular guy, not some psuedo-religious neogardener.
So hold on - Murdoch has biased the news, and Walter Cronkite and his ilk were paragons of truth and virtue? Oh come on - Cronkite was the very template for the biased journalist. He very famously declared the Tet Offensive (a decisive victory) as a defeat. And it was, for no other reason than it was on the news every night.
Seriously, enable by Control Panel, Power, and on one of the tabs there's an "enable hibernation" check mark. Afterwards, just press Shift during shutdown, and you'll see the new "hibernate" choice, or just press "H" at the shutdown screen. Works like a charm, you don't lose any of your windows, and startup takes about a minute (mostly caused by a bunch of apps realizing 8 hours have gone missing and they fall all over each other to update).
A remake...of a 21-year-old game? Come on. Get some new ideas, for chrissake. The current crop of game-playing kids wasn't even born then, how could there be any demand for a remake? Oh, but I know - there are no new ideas, and instead it's all rewarmed crap from an earlier era. What's next, Bionic Commando: Electric Boogaloo?
Living in China as I do, the Chinese think the exact same thing. Although it's pretty telling that you only thought to criticize Americans: the worst, stupidest people in the world. Heck, I'm sure you could find people from Bangladesh who think that their country is the best...but no that would be racist, instead let's single the Americans out for criticism once again.
Bicycles discriminate against everyone but the physically fit. You're not making a taxi that's suitable for everyone, you're making a taxi that you would like to have. Please stop trying to design things for yourself and then say they're suitable for everyone.
That "secondary America" you're talking about is the sort of place that produced Sarah Palin. I'd be very careful about romanticizing it - it's a quite dangerous place, and not suitable for decent people.
Ignorance is bliss. You're not happy because Nebraska is the best state (a laughable proposition at best) but rather becuase you don't know any better. You're a bunch of ignorant country people who wouldn't know culture if it went up to you and slapped you in the face. To say that Nebraska is better than California or New York or even a place like New Mexico is just flyover territory arrogance at its worst. Enjoy working dull hours answering my phone calls, hicks.
I started running my own email list, with about 2500 subscribers initially. It's interesting that anyone who uses gmail or hotmail can really put the hurt on me by clicking "this is spam", abuse complaints very quickly result in your email ending up tagged as junk. Those two domains are over half my list, and anyone else who clicks "this is spam"...well, it doesn't really do anything to affect my other subscribers.
"Hospitality" is that which is extended to guests. As you're not a guest any more, you get what Southerners call "family treatment". This means no special dispensations at dinner, the couch upstairs to sleep on, etc. You'd think a sophisticated urban resident could use his superior intellect to discern the difference, but I guess not!
Yes, actually. It's part of transnationalism. Obama is a transnationalist. Here's a brief review of one of his appointees. The basic idea is to destroy the structures of the nation-state and replace them with a global government, Star Trek style. Of course, just like Star Trek, the council of the wise will run the world, and archaic concepts like democracy and self-rule will be relegated to the dustbin of history.
I'm actually in the market for similar software, and I almost clicked on your link. But as soon as you said "GPL Software", I immediately made the connection that it's not ready for prime time, installs out of a.ZIP file, requires registry tweaks, hand-editing of configuration files, etc. The usual crap. Yaknow, I'm sorry if I'm unfairly bashing Citadel, for all I know it doesn't have any of these issues. But that's definitely the thought process I just went through as current businessman and former Solaris "the command line is God" midlevel sysadmin.
Bzzt...wrong, buddy. He's using the terms correctly. Take your cultural blinders off and try to see things from a perspective other than your own, for once.

Please stop with the "god" shit, there's no connection between a nonexistent deity and stem cell research.

Wow, a regular TV watcher calling others "stupid". If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black!

That would be interesting, if you had bothered to say what DP, Armonk, or Amdahl is.
