huh, that's interesting, ill need to re-watch the video (didnt read, just watched), pardon my english, i was sure i had understood she (the victim) sent the laptop to the techie who himself sent it to some dudette he was dating online.
Well, the dell employee should be hanged upside down, that said, she certainly lowers the bar for dumb!
its already dumb enough to call tech support to recover your own nude pics, its even dumber she got convinced to send a laptop to the guy to help her with her nakedness problem., that's be-yond ridiculous.
well i dont know what will be the actual key factor on the pc tablet market.
do you think weight will really tip the balance when pitted against the ability to have a complete os that lets you do whatever you want ?
battery doesnt worry me, in my own mind, its pretty much an accepted fact that you should recharge your toy every day once your done using it. do i really need it to give 1 week of use ? perhaps, im not sure.
but the one thing that it is not is vaporware, its coming.
in other news, you have the coolest name, that was one cool comic book.
try not to see it as you paying for NiN, but more like, paying to get all the music available and choosing from that pool.
im sure that in time, we'll know who gets downloaded the most and that the authors will receive a share of the money in ratio with how much money the pool receives.
Its similar to Aeron as i understand it, even if i never actually saw a real Aeron.
But a Leap chair is what i have and it works good.
I think the important point about the chair is that it needs to be able to adjust to the specifics of your husband's body.
for instance, i have long legs, so whatever chair i got needed to lift me high enough so that knees would form a square angle.
and like its been told before, dont go right away for the most expensive chair. Not all expensive chairs might work for your husband and also some cheaper chair might do the work for the ergo needs of your husband.
as long as the chair lets adjust whatever is important, then its a good chair.
Try to deal for a 30 day trial period too, you dont want to buy a chair that feels only good for a week but fails the true test of time.
Why not take that picture off ? I am not muslim and i can see how this annoys them.
If wikipedia is concerned about keeping the facts straight, they should be concerned by the fact that muslims like to keep mohamet as somekind of ideology, he represents every single muslim out there but is no one at the same time. He is what every muslim should be, but its not a person.
That's the way i understand it anyway. But even if im wrong, why not take it off ?
A representative group from the muslim religion thinks that picture does not reflect well what their religion is, so why not take it off ? If what is important are facts, then it should be important to be known that mahomet should not have a face. its really that simple.
Finally, in this day and age where religious topic are more dangerous than political one, why not just avoid the war and take that picture off. There really is nothing to be gained by refusing.
Angry General: Son, what do you mean you've blown my multi-billion dollar shuttle ?
Pissing-in-his-pants Soldier: Well, there was this small gouge you see, we had experts analyze it and they said it was not urgent.
Angry General: you mean you wouldn't spend a few tens of thousand bucks to keep a multi-billion shuttle in good health ? I'll tell you what, why don't you and your experts go clean the toilets with your tongue while you think things through...
Of course, it is well known that if you force my browser to display a 1280x1024 popup ad on my screen that ill kindly respond by rushing to the store and buy the product.
Its like those men forcing women to love them - aka rapists.
in my opinion, teens living in a more difficult environment are less likely to have elevated morals about sex. and in the same pattern, teens from richer and more educated grounds are more likely to have been taught better.
but im really not sure it has anything to do with IQ at all, or if that's the case, i wonder if living in a poor environment, filled with drugs, sex and alcohol just doesnt stimulate the brain and ends up in low IQ people.
i would think its a mix of both situation. but i always find funny to see studies like that being made public about associating early sex with low IQ and trying to play on our influencable teens by telling them they're dumb to have early sex. not quite what i call education.
i really dont think they're regretting it. They still beat sony to the punch and stole most of the (high def) videogame market. made quite some nice $$$ in the process.
They knew full well of the heating problem and all that prior to releasing. but its like the motto : better ask forgiveness than permission.
Whats important is catching the user base and that they did. The $1b expense is not gonna hit them so hard in the long run.
At least ill be a man about it and ill say that i responded too quickly, you were absolutely right.
I read the whole thing diagonally and miss the part that sais prior registration was required but membership not required for registration.
So, there you go, im sorry. i just happen to sort of sensitive about all the net neutrality stuff and government trying to regulate the internet. when i first read the thing, it didnt feel right.
Of course the FA says documents will be public and the results and all that, but the point of the FA and the point of this discussion for that matter is why go through the trouble of making all that public if you're going to keep the public out of it.
We're gonna be passed the results without having to say our word on it.
its as if the GPL wasn't really open source, sure its open, here's the pseudo code and the graph depicting how it works but we're gonna keep the actual one so we can model it the way we want. That's making it public, no ?
and that's Weitzner's whole point.
there's more than meet the eye here, clouded by political dust imo
ive always told myself that all it takes to make a dream come true is one person that really believes in it and starts working toward its realization, then, sooner or later, that person would find a way.
However, in this case, i have to admit that it does make me wonder about whether more like a fantasy rather than a dream. but then again, what do i know about space time continuum and all that star trek back to the future crap.
Haha, ok, point well taken, linux and whinedows users aren't meant to understand each other no matter the budget.
But i dont agree with everything you said. We know that humans are territorials by definition, that why we keep wanting to invade other country or try to protect our own.
But the inhabitants of the various country exhibit very unique behaviour, unique to their country, so it proves that humans are fashionable / manipulable. If that werent the case then everyone would be the same.
We cannot expect people to start loving each other just like that but that doesn't mean we have to promote the act of hating our differences for that matter.
In the past years, we've become increasingly aware of our privacy rights and suddenly, something that we didnt really cared about before has become a top priority. People have changed.
Same goes with open source. Back when it started, just the very thought of open source would make people say it impossible, not lucrative, blah blah blah, and look where we are now, just because people wanted it to happen we've found a way to make it happen.
If the government would start spending money on teaching people that tolerance and peace is now the "in" thing (like those damn sashimis and sushis) then we'd start seeing more and more people going down the streets to stop the war, putting pressure on government and ultimately at least reduce the frequency of the bloodsheds.
How comforting to know that the robot will be able to pick up my limbs or whatever is left of me carefully....but id rather see that budget spent promoting world peace

if you'd stop trying to re-invent the wheel you'd see there's plenty of upcoming windows 7 tablets on their way
such as this splendid exo pc tablet
http://www.exopc.com/en/index.php
had i tried, i couldnt have put it better.
Slashdot / Slapshot ... there's why
But if i save 350$ buying a Ubuntu Dell box, im gonna have to spend 350$ buying vista because i can't make sense out anything on that ubuntu thing.
then ill be stuck having to install windows myself, which is just as bad.
am i not better off just paying 350 for windows on my dell and be done with it ?
hehe.
try not to see it as you paying for NiN, but more like, paying to get all the music available and choosing from that pool.

Sony CEO Howard Stringer, is that you ?
how about that it be less power hungry and not force me to upgrade all my stuff to windows-7 compatible ?
last but not least, be stable ? that's a feature they never were really able to address properly from the beginning
you might wanna check the Leap Chair

Its similar to Aeron as i understand it, even if i never actually saw a real Aeron.

as long as the chair lets adjust whatever is important, then its a good chair.
Try to deal for a 30 day trial period too, you dont want to buy a chair that feels only good for a week but fails the true test of time.
although it is pointless, i cant resist the urge to mention this would make a perfect death ray machine in a james bond movie.
I'm also pretty sure it would make a cooler death ray than a linear accelerator, which, when you look at it, serves no purpose in world domination.
lastly but not least, the controls looks like the computers salvaged from the "2001 - a space odyssey" mission.
ok, here's my 2 cents.
Why not take that picture off ? I am not muslim and i can see how this annoys them.

You know, i would be pretty happy if all the gaming would be windows territory, because we know its the only thing its real good at.
Whenever it comes to doing work and business, there's no question who that territory belongs to.
the same day a joke required it.
