Unless they are in the store at an affordable price it doesn't matter to me.
Seriously if a battery that is lighter than air and can go on for 12 months straight without recharge but cost 1 billion dollar do you think you will have one in your ipod tomorrow?
These promises of great technologies are nice and all... but it's just R&D until it's feasible in the market.
I was a druid and many of the things I complained about made it to the game after I quit (reduction of aggro in feral cat, strength to healing ability conversion, etc...).
The one thing I cannot ask from the game is that it takes so damn fucking long to do the things I wanted to do and *most* end-game guilds are full of dysfunctional sociopaths I care not to associate with.
Now I play volleyball, go out with real friends and do contract work on my free time. Life is so much better!
What's disrespectful about his point of view? Does he make fun of religious people?
Pointing out that their beliefs are ludicrous is one thing. He's not calling them stupid or retarded when doing so.
I offend smokers when I tell them they are smoking in a spot they aren't allowed to. Is it my intention to offend them? No. It's their fault for smoking there in the first place.
Anti-abortionist take an unreasonable approach to limit abortion. They feel as though a bunch of cells that cannot possibly have a consciousness yet have the same human value as a late term fetus. I'm pro-choice up until the point where the fetus develops a conscious brain.
When anti-abortionists put up pictures of late term abortions they build a straw man and misrepresent me. It's disingenuous and offends me.
Pretty sure that inside that ball the hamster doesn't know where the fuck he is and walks in random ways.
That being said humans do the same as other mammals in regards to what's safe. We even step on exactly the same spot as the person in front of us when walking single file.
I partake in blind wine tasting nights quite often. Sometimes I organize, sometimes my brother does. There is a correlation with better wine being better more often. That being said you should know that an old Chateau with a good reputation will be able to charge more just because of their name and a newcomer won't.
So expensive doesn't necessarily mean good but it allows you, if you know your way around a bit might help you out in determining which wine to drink and which not to in a restaurant.
I drove both the insight and then the prius.
The insight started with gas motor by default so it made noise when you started unless you did more than 3 starts and stops in a short period. The electrical motor only kicked in at higher speeds (most of the time).
The Prius did things the other way around. When you start it's electric only unless you push the pedal to the metal.
Because of the way the insight started you never could hear the silence that makes driving the Prius so much fun. That and the insight had poor visibility behind.
If domains were expensive enough we wouldn't have squatters. Say you would have to pay 250$ to purchase a domain name. How many would a squatter be willing to buy?
- the IT field is one of the hardest hit in case of a recession; this means that when things go bad they go really bad - if it isn't a passion of your you will not enjoy it; it's long hours and crunch time exists almost always - most programmers I've seen in my 12 years of programming have burned out and done other stuff instead. They would have been better off studying in a field they liked because now it's too late for them to tackle their true career of choice - money isn't all it's cracked up to be in the IT field but it varies more than with many other jobs. For example someone passionate with great talent can get paid twice what another senior gets. In some parts of North America the salary is as low as 35k/year. - if you want to hit the higher salaries you have to specialize into something and become a well known expert. This means blogging about your skill and doing presentations at conferences. - your brain deteriorates with time and you can't code as fast as you could when you were 10 years younger. Getting old in our field is worse than it is in others. Even venture capitalists expect to invest in young talent. This means your window of opportunity is small.
You must answer a resounding yes to the following questions:
Do you code one week ends? Do you write software for fun? Do you enjoy sitting down and thinking really hard for long periods of time?

To be clear, I do not think that Apple is in any way trying to purposely "cripple" non-Apple software.

I can't believe this guy is coming out now to tell us that we should stop "embryonic stem cell research" because it "shattered" human dignity. If you want to bring back some form of dignity how about letting those suffering a glimmer of hope based on sound science rather than false promise?
Also I'd really like it if someone would send him the memo. We don't need to hurt embryos anymore so the pope's latest message comes too late proving how irrelevant the church is to this discussion.
I don't think anyone cares if Windows uses a browser internally. It would be nice however if the system would be nice enough to listen to us if we told it what our favorite browser was, a thing it fails to do.

Druids and paladins had the same disadvantage. In PVE they were both expected to be healbots but that build was useless while grinding or PVP.

Show me the product now or don't mention it. Call me when it's on the market and I can buy it.

In europe some universities do without textbooks. The teacher teaches and guess what? The students have to write everything the teacher says.

Securing your router means putting an admin password on it. After that your network can be either open or not.

If that suits you then take the blue pill.

In Soviet Russia the government limits what you can talk about. In contemporary America you are sheltered for your own good.
