So in the end it is worse than 10x the cost given you want to pay these babies off in 5 years. Why exactly do you want to pay them off in 5 years - do you expect to not need light in 5 years? Going with 2012 for the end of the world?
During install, my MBP restarted an additional time or two. I thought for a minute there that I was gonna have to restore from a week old super dupe. Alas, on the third startup, it actually started. Well, the update was 420mb; it's understandable that you'd need to wait a little for the smoke to clear:P
Kidding aside, this is semi-common with OS X updates. Usually if it doesn't require an extra reboot, the reboot it does do takes a few extra minutes. I'm guessing that since this update is

I think it's safe to assume that the mysterious substance used to train dogs to smell for cocaine... is............
cocaine. Just a second...****snnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooort*****....Yep, it's cocaine.
I clicked those all the time when I was 17. After a year of doing this, I started actually believe I was 18. Even fooled my parents into thinking so!
I'm always amazed at what people can accomplish with the power of the mind. Were you able to keep them fooled for long, or did they stop believing you were 18 after a few season changes?
I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps and become a teacher until teaching became professional babysitting. As someone who works for a school district and is actually in different classrooms hearing different teachers (K-12) teach all day long teaching is one thing and one thing only: what you make of it. It's like Project Mayhem - you determine your own level of involvement - and it's blisteringly obvious to any observer which category any given teacher is in. Those that want to make a difference in children's lives do so.
Oooo, thanks for the information! I live in Madison and wasn't aware of that meeting in the slightest. This is exactly the type of thing I'd be interested in going to, but just don't seem to know how to find out about their existence. How did you find out about it, out of curiosity? Was I mailed something (that maybe my roommates threw out) or is there a website that lists upcoming meetings like that?
Each of my little sisters (one is 12 other is 14) sends over 7,000 messages a month, minimum. That's 233 per day from each. They live in a small town of roughly 1,200 people - there's only 30 kids in their class. I can only imagine how large that number would be if they went to a larger school. Unlimited text messaging keeps my parents out of the poor house.
someone who will strip out the communications core, and put a completely redesigned front end on it. Frankly, Pidgin ought to be two closely related projects - one which provides IM libraries, and one which provides a front end to those libraries. You're aware that it already is separated like that, right?
Purple is the communication library used by Pidgin (the GTK client), Finch (a text mode client), Adium (Mac OS X client), and others.
If I am unable to interact with reality - in what sense to I have any "power of acting"? Presumably any power of acting worth having occurs in reality - if the only power of acting I have is to act in a fictional dream world, then I don't have free will in THIS world, only in the dream world.
But if we're all in the matrix (or all dreaming) then we have no control over the world anyway (the machine does, or the part of our brain that creates our reality but isn't the active object in question). I have trouble picturing a scenario where I'm in control of my actions "freely" (the active me, doing this wondering - not a subconscious dream world controlling part me) and the world as I see it is a deception.
It makes perfect sense if you realize that the PS3 is the only really future-proof Blu-ray player on the market right now. That, and the fact that it's almost the same price as a stand-alone player, plus you can play games, media, and install Linux on it. Couldn't have put it better myself, so I'm just quoting you:P
I have a 360. I have the HD-DVD drive for my 360 because I want to play HD content (Microsoft clearly recognizes this market segment exists, why else create the HD DVD drive in the first place). Now instead of buying a Microsoft brand 360 Blu-ray Player, I will be buying a Playstation 3. Seems like a brilliant plan on Microsoft's part - if they wanted me to buy a competing product.
how codependent opposite gender traits evolved simultaneously Think of it like this: At first there was a single organisms that performed the roles of both sexes itself (think sexually reproducing hermaphrodites, like an earthworm) - it can function as either gender. It has all the genetic information for both the male and the female gender traits. At some point in the DNA there was a change which caused there to be only one of the set to be active in any individual - the creature (or at least of them) still has both gender traits present in the DNA - similar to how males still have an X chromosome, but only one chunk of the information is ever used. To make a computer analogy, Mac OS X applications now have both PPC and Intel code it them, only set of the information is ever used on a given computer, but the information is still there and is still "passed on through the versions".
Is there some reason why I'm automatically browsing at 0 instead of my preferred setting of -1?
I checked my preferences and apparently I'm still set to -1, so what gives? I don't know this for a fact, but I believe there is a comment threshold and you automatically browse at 0 if there aren't very many comments yet.
I'll sign up as soon as I can forgo the DVD delivery option. I used to use Zip.Ca (Basically netflix for Canada), but cancelled after too many movies got lost in the mail. Why don't you ask your neighbor if they want some mail DVDs and then split the cost with them?
But that's just it. There wasn't any visible beer, just a can. A can looks nothing like beer. FTA: "One photo shows him holding a can of Coors beer, another a shot of rum" - a can looks nothing like beer, but a can labeled Coors is definitely a "lookalike" to an alcohol product. If he had been using one of those foam cup insulators it might be a different story. A shot glass is also an item typically not used except when drinking alcohol, and a reasonable suspicion is warranted. The entire point of the code is that athletes will behave in a certain way - while acting like you're drinking and using "drinking paraphernalia" is not illegal, it is against the code of conduct to act and/or portray yourself as if you are violating it. If I saw a student in my school with a Coors can you'd be damned sure I'd be taking investigative/disciplinary action - I may find out that it was not filled with beer, but that's not going to stop me from assuming it is what it's labeled. The article doesn't mention this, but what usually happens in these circumstances is something like this is presented, then students are interrogated - if even ONE confesses, then everyone is held accountable as they were at a party where even one person was consuming alcohol illegally.
But again, there was no proof that these kids did anything illegal. The pictures showed a kid holding a beer can. Now, we both know there is about a 99% chance that he was also drinking the beer that the can came with, but there's no proof of that and he could probably argue that it was an empty prop.
Even if it's a prop, according to most codes specifically for this reason - this is taken from our school district's athletic code.

if you're still on beta two, try beta four - it's noticably faster!
