Apple doesn't need to Open Source the iPhone. What they need to do is make it available to multiple carriers (something most think will happen eventually anyway) and ease up on the app restrictions. Let's face it, everyone wants an iPhone. They may not all have one or even get one but they WANT one.
Your tax dollars at work. And you know why this happens? Because we let it happen. A well-placed bat to the head at an early age would mitigate stupidity like this. Better yet, take those plastic covers off the wall outlets and let nature weed out the morons like it used to.
I'd heard the figure at about 70%. The genital figure is about 20%. We like to make jokes about genital herpes but the truth is it is symptomatically the same as oral. The only difference is that the HSV2 virus prefers the genital area. Keep in mind, however, that some people have HSV1 (oral) on their genitals and visa-versa. We stigmatize genital herpes as an STD and oral herpes as a "cold sore" to make it more palatable (pardon the pun) but the truth is those with herpes outnumber those without.
Some research shows that the virus may help combat other viruses.
The problem is a lone observer in a single locale can muster up a climate scare like this and apparently get attention. Here in my area we too saw a large crop of at least the large variety of acorns. These are the kinds of things that we'll find Al Gore referencing if we're not careful.
It really takes a side-by-side for me. When HD first came out I'd goto Best Buy and frankly spent more time trying to deduce if there was enough difference to warrant $2k - $3k for an HD TV. I determined the difference simply didn't compel me. It still doesn't but as prices drop I'll be more likely to get an HD TV. I don't watch much TV and I certainly could care less if the chick getting banged in my pr0n has a mole on her vulva or not. Hell, I'm only in for 3 minutes then I'm taking asleep!
Actually, no. I've said nothing about Muslims or Communists. Interesting that you'd make such a leap, thus dismissing me outright. The fact of the matter is there is some bias in the way the image was presented. What would appear to be youths coming together in protest is in fact an orchestrated protest. It's misleading. You don't have to believe it and you can explain it away. My comments have been restricted to the photo and the bias and I've said nothing about Muslims or communists. But hey I must be a right-wing kook because I'm not embracing it? Bias, racism, and dishonesty is wrong no matter who's doing it. Black, white, conservative, liberal.
Hmm. I'd say zooming in on a small portion of a photo to present it in one view is the equivalent to taking something out of context. Wait, it actually IS taking something out of context. Context matters. It's like taking a shot of 200 people in such a way to make it appear it's many more or that a street is crowded with protesters. It's misleading regardless of whether you agree with the politics or not.
Actually it would be almost the opposite. The old guys are likely to remember solutions or means to an end from experience but less likely to remember where they put that script the other day.
I recall several years ago when I had a young SA pushing Service Packs out remotely. Our old IBM server wouldn't boot because he had answered Yes to overwriting the proprietary SCSI driver with Microsoft's "newer" driver. (Newer is better, no!?) This, of course, prevented the server from finding the array controller. An oldie but a goody!:>
Because if there's going to be any altering of photos for impact, it damn well is going to be done by the media themselves! Wouldn't want to subvert their authority to alter perception now would we?

Thank Nixon. Letting China nurse off our teat has done nothing but show them how to build they're own teat. Are they greatful? No. Now they're stealing the "Mother's Milk" we're loading the teat with. Fuck China!
So ants and other insects who engage in warfare do so because of humans? What? Are they watching us on the History Channel and mimmicking our moves? If you loath your humanity that much, kill yourself.
Or stick to things they're actually good at. This whole chasing every thing that comes down the pipe is abject stupidity. It has nothing to do with good business and everything to do with corporate ego.
I think the Anonymous Coward is painting with a broad brush, his points aren't totally without merit (well, except his odd plea to encourage racist voting). Obama did, in fact, benefit from a large black turnout and a large chunk of those votes were cast based on the fact that this was a historic moment for blacks. As such, they were cast based on race and therefore racist. No doubt there were a number of whites who voted to prevent a black president. While blacks usually vote Democrat they don't usually do so in the percentages we're seeing now. John McCain cannot lay the blame at the feet of racists, of course not. Had he run a more solid campaign he would have done better. But the idea that anti-white racism and pro-black racism played little or no role is simply naive. Even Obama promised to deliver the black vote not because he felt they would rally around his policies per se' but because he is black and on a major ticket. Thus, differentiating himself from past black candidates who had very little chance of winning the nomination.
Don't forget that this is all what Obama collectively called the "Civil Security Force." I was ridiculed for pointing this out and told that it was merely an expansion of the Peace Corp and other organizations. But "Civil Security Force" are Obama's words and to my knowledge the Peace Corp doesn't "secure" anything. Like most agendas like this these things sound great on paper (who can argue with "serving" your country?) but there's a creepiness to it as well not to mention ominous possibilities. What happens if one wishes to exercise the freedom to abstain? Shouldn't such a freedom exist in a "free" society?

Actually, no it's not ironic. At least one other person in the thread noticed a large acorn crop and it apparently has been observed elsewhere.

Yeah, let's give them money to stay afloat so that someone can buy their IP and sell it back to us.

"Rude" is subjective.
Besides if I'm waiting for my food it's not my dinner time. I'm not sure that restaurants implicate some sort of collective "dinner" either.
Movie theaters I get. But restaurants? As long as you keep your voice down I could give a rat's ass if you talk on the phone.

If a fix gets written it should be named the Tom Shane fix because he eliminates the middle man.

Shoot the messenger, take the piano on the head. What are the odds he could be right? Ass!
The sad part being that the old SCO and its UNIX had to be affiliated with the litigation hound that SCO is today...or was yesterday.

So they're the last hold out? Okay, if nothing else they get kudo's for that. We can still be pissed at them for not sticking it to the man.

No shit. Turn on your favorite pop radio station and you have your thesis. Collect grant, profit.
Just doing it's job!
