With its 230 horsepower (170 kW)@ 4,400-4,600 5-speed manual straight-5 turbo-Diesel, the C111 broke nine diesel and gas speed records. With more aerodynamic bodywork that gave it an air drag coefficient of an incredible.191, the C111 eventually hit 200 mph (322 km/h) at Nardà in 1978, and averaged 14.7mpg@ 316 km/h (195.4 mph) over a 12 hour cruise.
Apple typically doesn't just set its prices according to exchange rates, it sets them what it thinks would be best from a marketing and business perspective.
Good thing that this is a third party app, then. I guess TomTom would never set the price from a marketing and business perspective.
Obviously the dictionary he's using has a rather different definition of reasonable people than mine does.
Mine says reasonable people aren't upset by words, especially the ones they write themselves. Reasonable people also have no expectation of going through life without encountering something they might find offensive, as they know that that idea itself is offensive to some people.
Apple isn't worried about reasonable people - are you going to pay the bills when the unreasonable people sue Apple? No? The shut the fuck up.
You forgot to mention the Greek translation of the OT (the Septuagint). But that's missing GGP's point, because the ordinary European in the Middle Ages didn't read Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or Coptic.
Mostly because they couldn't read or write any language.
How old is the youngest IPhone user you've seen? For me its 15. No elementary school kid needs to be running around with a $100/mo bill and an expensive phone.
Exactly, they are supposed to run up their $200/mo Jamster bill with a cheap and most of all open phone!
Two links to add infested mass-media blurbs both quoting the same blog entry by John Gruber, but no fucking direct link to that story. Boo to Apple, Hurray to Slashdot for sticking it to Corporate America?
The iPod was dropped because there was smoke coming out of it!
Nope.
Ken Stanborough, 47, from Liverpool, dropped his 11-year-old daughter Ellieâ(TM)s iPod Touch last month. âoeIt made a hissing noise,â he said. âoeI could feel it getting hotter in my hand, and I thought I could see vapourâ. Mr Stanborough said he threw the device out of his back door, where âoewithin 30 seconds there was a pop, a big puff of smoke and it went 10ft in the airâ.
It makes no sense to assume that "dropped" and "threw the device out of his back door" (unless you have an agenda).
For the period that looks to be around 1900 through 2000 something else should stand out to you. The proxy data marches lock step together, with virtually no deviation from one data set to another. They are in fact so tight they overlap and appear nearly as one thick rainbow colored line. From 1000-1800 those same data set vary wildly from each other. That is NOT an artifact of the industrial revolution beginning in 1900, it is an artifact of the methods for building the reconstructions. The common practice, as used by Mann et al. is to calibrate the proxy data against the measured record, which runs fro 1900-2000. That method is creating the hockey stick tail out of raw proxy data that simply does NOT have that distinctive pattern in it.
Think I'm just crazy?
Quite frankly? A little paranoid and quite lazy. Of course the calibrated it to the instrumental temperature record (from 1850â"1995 actually) - that is the only actual data there is, the rest is just a proxy. But then, you didn't even bother to look at S11 where they show results for different smaller (as in only a century) calibration periods, and guess what, the reconstruction calibrated to the record from the earlier period 1850-1949 still shows the hockey stick. Not only that, but the the later calibraion period 1896-1995 actually produces a much "warmer" reconstruction. But still with the hockey stick - because it is getting warmer.
Gee, there the old "we don't know what happened then, so it can't be humans now" defense. Yeah, "The bank has already been robbed several times before I was born, this proves I couldn't have done it last month" sure is a great defense.

Congratulations on discovering that there's an entire world outside your country's borders!
And now there even is an app to show him how to get there!

Moderators: go ahead, and prove me right.
Not only did the developer censor himself all in the name of the almighty Dollar, he also sells a $2 app that does nothing but query Wiktionary.
It seems easy enough that even a parent can do it: http://www.ehow.com/how_4527941_iphone-tips-parental-controls-restrictions.html

>But, again, Apple did not require the app to be censored, that was a completely voluntary choice of the developer.
Yes, by that standard.
Oh, by the standard that saying "You are too tall to do this, but an alternative will soon be there" actually forces someone to chop off their legs.
IOW you are complaining that some of Apple's app reviewers don't check if an app can be made to display the word "fuck".
YES but you need a credit card to buy on the iTunes store.
NO, you don't. You don't even need one to get an iTunes Store account. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731

i'm running vista on a gaming machine i built last year. no reinstalls, no bluescreens.
your fud though, could use some updating..
Exactly: Everybody should know by now that the default is to just reboot, not show a BSOD.
Quoting Cicero
Is there anything new in the article not copy-pasted from Daring Fireball? Apart from the adds, I mean.
What are the battery times for you?
Apple has dozens if not hundreds of people working in the app approval department - and some of them are pricks.

The $3000 one is the only one with an expresscard slot.
That makes it even more puzzling that he didn't even look at the refurbished Macs, but bought the Dell refurbished. BTW, which "$3000 one"?
You know Apple spent 10 times more than the cost of the iPod writing and delivering the legal papers that they were asked to sign.
How do you know? That's probably a standard form they send out.

The laptops still have only one button
And the Control-key is less than a pinky away from that button, and doesn't move much from there, if at all.
Not to mention the two-finger-click on the last couple of generations of MacBooks
BIOS passwords are rather effective, actually.
Not so much if somebody put a keylogger in your keyboard.
That's what happens when software isn't open - it gets abandoned and the users are screwed. Free Conficker now! Turn it over to the EFF!
