I love redbox. I stop by every week or so and pick up two or three bluray movies in the middle of the week. I take them home, rip them and take them back then watch the movies on my WD HD TVlive box (which runs linux btw) in glorious 1080p on my big TV whenever I feel like it. It's so easy and effortless that I have just about stopped downloading stuff from The Pirate Bay.
True. I often find hardware for free or nearly free though that is capable of doing what he needs. It's not perfect condition cosmetically often but I've gotten perfectly good core2duo windows boxes that are so choked with malware that people throw them out and buy another one since Best Buy charges a ton to clean them up and most people are helpless to do it themselves. It's amazing what lands on the curb, I know I made about 2 grand one year cleaning up those things by reinstalling windows and selling them off.
Sometimes it's easier. I have several windows apps that operate under wine. They act like they are native, if I didn't know the difference I wouldn't be able to tell.
I don't blame you. It most likely is not going to cause a crash but a fire on board like that is never anything to instill trust. I can't believe they didn't catch this long before the release to service of this aircraft. Some people need to be fired, from the top down.
I'm usually terrified until we reach cruising altitude. Your best chance of dying is on takeoff as that is when the aircraft is most vulnerable to a failure.
No one has a perfect record but generally American workers have a better record. One thing that helps is that if you screw something up then 7 or 8 years down the road it causes a problem it will come back on you. They keep records of work done that is stamped by journeymen mechanics and that record stays for the life of the aircraft. Generally with overseas contractors your chance of actually putting the mechanic responsible in jail is nil. I do depot level work and I know that I and my fellow mechanics obsess over safety to the point that it often causes clashes with supervisors who push for speed. I've seen multiple times that a mechanic refused to stamp something because he didn't feel comfortable with it and no amount of pressure would persuade them to do it. Many is the time is that I've heard "It's my fucking stamp and I'm not going to jail for your ass!"
Well actually that only applies to modifications to the GPL software. If they use their own proprietary top layer like OS X does with Darwin then that would be legal. Any changes to the kernel would be required to give back but not to anything that was their own from the start.
I did say almost all. My Dad's a member and he hasn't bought a weapon in about 10 years or so but he bought one about every 4 or 5 years on average until he got too old to hunt anymore. I work with people that have dozens of guns and sell, buy and trade weapons frequently. I haven't bought a gun in about 15 years but I don't hunt anymore although I do skeet shoot some. It varies but there is a lot of money spent on personal firearms.
I think it's a symbiotic relationship. You have somewhere around 4 million people in the NRA and it's certain that these corporations see these people as customers. They want their loyalty. You do realize that these people buy tons of their stuff don't you? You really think they're interested in pissing off NRA membership? The tail is not wagging the dog here, both sides like each other. NRA members have a positive view of companies like Ruger and Colt.
You know they should have taken a page out of their own success story. When IBM came knocking they bought an operating system and created MS-DOS out of it. They should have bought Nokia and gotten behind Maemo and put their own spin on it. Maybe a linux kernel with a MS proprietary system on top would have worked for them like Darwin under OS X did for Apple. No, they had to try to reinvent the wheel and it had a flat spot on it.
I saw a zune the other day. One guy I work with has one and he listens to music on it. I was amazed and asked him why he bought it. His wife gave it to him for Christmas one year.
I've been using linux since 1999. Before that I ran a heavily modded Amiga 3000D. I had some problems with linux when I started and it did occasionally crash requiring a hard boot. This was in the same era as Windows ME which we used at work and it was rare to keep a machine up over an hour there with a massive IT department supporting us. In the last 7 or 8 years I can count the number of times I've had to hard boot on 1 finger. It's been years since I had to kill X. A year or more since I used X kill to force kill an application that refused to die. The last remaining bastion of hardware problems, fucking spastic wifi adapters, fell a while back too. To install a linux desktop has become childishly easy and yet I keep hearing this bullshit about how buggy it is. I don't know, maybe you are telling the truth but I can honestly say I haven't seen these kinds of problems for almost a decade. I use Macs for video work and they aren't any more stable than my linux boxes but I will admit the system is smoother. Using Macs on a regular basis will make you stupid because you hardly notice there is an operating system at all. Unfortunately you have to do things Apple's way, they put the P in Proprietary.

I didn't even know France had a military.
roku2 is only about 60 dollars.

Nah. I've seen people run solitaire for hours and never win. I don't think they're up to playing Minesweeper.
He just listens to music on it and it works well enough for that. The damn thing is butt ugly though.

Heh, a typo. Or maybe my Freudian slip is showing.

I wonder if they counted all the droids that Microsoft is getting a cut of?
You sir are a fucking coward. Eat shit.

Add Solitaire. It's responsible for more lost productivity in American work places than any other item.
Sadly the Republican party is no longer the party of small government or fiscal responsibility.
It pisses me off too. The purpose of the second amendment is to furnish the means to guarantee the first amendment.
How about their parents? They had them, they raised them or failed to raise them. They are responsible.
Truly. Considering that CA is the land of Pelosi who makes Feinstein appear to be a conservative.
