Or that the Corvair of "Unsafe at any Speed" fame wasn't any more dangerous than a VW Beetle? Gee, wouldn't you expect a little more from a car designed more than 20 years later and not to be ultra-cheap to build?
Yeah, because if he is racist/personality challenged, he can't be any good in engineering either.
This isn't Shockley we're talking about, it's someone who was fired for cause, who didn't raise these issues before he was fired. If his former colleagues refuse to get on that plane, then I might give some credence to his claims, but until and unless that happens, I think he's full of shit.

Which could simply mean he was fired because he wanted to bring the issue to the public. Which is exactly what he claims. What makes you think Boeing is beyond those tactics?
The Otto Hahn, for example, was an inefficient design (carried less freight than other ships its size, despite not needing fuel bunkers). Which had more to do with it being also used for Science instead of being purely a freight ship. And what killed it was the fact that it wasn't allowed into most harbours.
Why shouldn't they? They seem to care about another 2% of the market, don't they? Those two percent that can't afford to build their own PC because they would lose too much valuable time and thus money doing so.
And for the hundredth time, I will ask for 5 people who did not buy a non-iPod because they had bought something from the iTS - and I predict I will again not get an answer (unless you count insults instead of the people as answers)
well, at least don't compare it with _4th_ gen ipods. If anything, they were in market prior to your _3rd gen_ ipods which were bigger bricks then _1st_ gen irivers. The first iRiver players where CD based. There was never an iPod as big as a CD drive.
Or do you want to point out that flash-based players often are smaller than HD based players?
Are you actually claiming 9/11 happened because different agencies weren't allowed to talk to each other, and not because the Bush administration ignored them?
When exactly did you give up the "ownership" of your conversation by using a phone? Do you give up ownership of your car if you drive on a public (or if you want to be nit-picky: private) street?
It's just funny, and no, it is not correct. The russian word for that thing is "otechestvo", it has neutral gender and can be loosely translated as "land of our fathers", so the best English match is "fatherland", just like in German. It all comes down to Patria.
...unless it turns out that it's actually NOT a US spy satellite, and in fact belongs to China. At which point your career prospects become veeery dubious. But why would the US suddenly not list "secret" Chinese satellites in their ephemeris data? Because they couldn't find it, but the French could? Or because the US government was bought by the Chinese?
These guys do it all the time. http://www.satobs.org/ It requires a telescope... a knowledge of mathematics and orbital mechanics or a computer built after 1992 or so and an open source sat tracking package, and of course copious free time and lots of coffee. Yeah, finding sats when you know where to find them is easy, but finding them where the US says there aren't any is a bit harder.
did anyone ask how did they identify them as US? was it a big tag that said "Made in USA"?
there are several states that do this... china, russia, the US... how can they tell? The fact that the US says where you can find secret French, Chinese and Russian (but not US) satellites, but that there are absolutely no satellites or space-junk where the French found satellites. Now either the French are simply better than the Americans at finding satellites/space-junk, or they are secret US sats - take a pick.
Except that it didn't sink, one of the missiles failed to work properly, and it was still Iraq who launched the attack anyway.
The point isn't who the French sells their weapons to (which is every thug and terrorist with a pocketbook), it's whether or not they have the capability to use them for themselves. Yes, they're real good at machine gunning groups of unarmed protestors, but militaries tend to fight back... Yeah, how dare they sell weapons to the same thug you sold weapons to at the same time. Hint: the incident was in 1987, when the US still cheered what a nice guy Saddam was.
The meters are there to reduce the number of parked cars, not for revenue. Apple is offering money, not a solution to overcrowded streets.
I don't know what planet you live on, but most cities in the world where there are cars use parking meters to fill up their coffers. Cities that want to discourage car usage downtown either reduce the number of parking spaces, improve public transportation, use some kind of fee system to drive downtown (e.g London) or close off some street to cars, purely and simply. Exactly - if you want to get the cars off your street, you don't want to do anything that forces them to drive around endlessly trying to find a parking spot.
Safari for Windows is aimed at those developing iPhone applications. If anyone expected Safari to take marketshare from either IE or Firefox, then they were Mac Fanboys who shouldn't have even been listening. Gee, I knew Mozilla COO John Lilly was a Mac Fanboy.

I sound like a shill, but it's the truth. The truth is you pay for the privilege that someone knows where you bought what.
DUMP TEA IN THE HARBOUR?!
The meer sugestion of making tea with cold, salty water, in a harbour in preferance to a teapot is, well, words fail me sir!
Well, that's what Americans think of as having a "party".This isn't Shockley we're talking about, it's someone who was fired for cause, who didn't raise these issues before he was fired. If his former colleagues refuse to get on that plane, then I might give some credence to his claims, but until and unless that happens, I think he's full of shit.

What makes Apple's offering any better than anyone else's?
I don't get it at all. Well, neither do the makers of "iPod killers".
How about buying a mac mini for work and multimedia and the game system of your choice for gaming?
Because consoles have never been good replacements for the types of games that PC gamers usually like to play, I'd imagine.
Like Minesweeper and Solitair?Or isn't it? Do we have any confirmation but the one and only entry in a recently created blog?

So the US intelligence is run by crazy, pissed-off Muslims. Thanks for the confirmation.

The only "recent" weapons are the AK47s you wanted to give to the Iraqi security forces but "lost" on the way.

"auto-update" doesn't work with some firewalls - e.g. the one at my workplace. The 400 million number does include some of my non-auto-updates.
