" You chose whether you buy this kind of monitor,"
when it becomes standard, your choice will be computer or no computer.
Not really much of a choice.
Apple hasn't even released a product based on this yet, so currently you can't even get a monitor with this technology and already you are worried about not being able to buy one without this technology.
My advice is that you buy a whole lot of Apple Cinema Displays before apple comes out with this. Then, when they do you will have the market cornered for those people who don't want the new monitors. It will be like when they stopped making Cocoa Cola and the people who had a stockpile were able to sell all they had at a fat profit.
Don't blame me if you don't take advantage of this unique business opportunity.
Immagine that what you thought was an innocuous display serving ads in the dressing area was really a camera for some perv to look through?
As opposed to the current situation where you only have to worry about tiny cameras that can be hidden in the wall, too small to see, or disguised as anything (clock radio, teddy bear, whatever).
As someone who grew up in Oklahoma and escaped, I can tell you that this kind of law is why when large companies think of moving to Oklahoma and they poll their key people about moving there, they tell them "no way in hell would I move to Oklahoma".
YOu have no more right to shove video games with violence and sexual content down my throat
Oh, I didn't realize that the game companies were forcing your to buy the games at gunpoint and play them. They should really stop doing that and simply make them available for purchase by those people who actually wish to play them.
Oh, they don't point a gun at you? Then WTF are you complaining about?
I lived in Oklahoma as a child. So I feel safe saying that the people therre are ALL a backward bunch of idiots.
Obviously you did not pay attention in history class or you would know that neither the declaration of war in WWI or WWII was unanimous. Also, it is not required to be unanimous.
As long as the republicans keep the white house they can. As soon as there is another democrat president, then you can expect the DOJ to start going after them again. Especially if they are dumping XBoxes for half the cost.
But mark my words, this stupid policy will create an opening for a creative criminal enterprise. One day, a person will return from vacation, press the clicker to raise the garage door, and find that some outlaws have stuffed your parking space full of busted microwaves.
Because the mesh screen would cut down on how much wind actually gets to the turbine - to the point where most of the energy that you are trying to harvest with the turbine is lost.
Floor fans are not trying to catch wind - they are generating it. So, it is not a fair comparison.
I think we all agree, the past is over. This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked Is our children learning? Will the highways of the Internet become more few? How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me. I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity. I know that the human being and the fish can coexist. Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.

Yes.

How about being fired from a trebuchet?
but there are state laws that make it illegal for minors to buy smoke & drink, should those laws be repealed?
It depends. If you want to live in a free society, then yes these laws should be repealed.
If you want to live in a police state, then you are probably thrilled with the way things are.
As someone who grew up in Oklahoma and escaped, I can tell you that this kind of law is why when large companies think of moving to Oklahoma and they poll their key people about moving there, they tell them "no way in hell would I move to Oklahoma".
I agree. There's no good reason to allow children to buy or own anything.
So, when your 16 year old wants to borrow the car, they will now have an excuse for not putting any gas into it.
If you want to go to a star that bad, maybe we can fire you into the sun.
when the only things kids wanted fake IDs for were beer, cigarettes, and pornography.
You forgot voting.
Oh, that was just me?

As soon as they start putting tracking chips into kids, I'm gonna make a fucking mint selling tracking child equipment to pedophiles.
I live in Wisconsin, ... We smoke and we drink at very high levels.
So, the things I've heard about Wisconsin (i.e. you are all idiots) are true.

400 dollars is a small price compared to the pains that brats will cause you by fouling up your machine.
Buy your kids a Mac and stop whining.

I was partial to Comrade Thumb from Ballyoo.
I bought a couple of CYOA books for my daughter and she did like them very much.
I have an older PowerBook G4 (last of generation TiBook) that I've kept in such nice looking shape some people ask me if is a MacBook Pro.
Serious gaming is an oxymoron.
If you want to game, get a PlayStation. If you need a computer to get work done, get a Mac.
If you want to run the latest virus, get Windows.
Soviet MIGs were made of ALUMINUM and PLYWOOD
Most airplanes are built out of aluminum. So what?

Hey! That's a great idea!

You can say what you want about Bush, but not that he hasn't got a sense of humour.
Sure. He's been having a good laugh at the country's expense for about 6 years now.
