Aspargus hunting (poaching) actually happens. My parents' old house had some growing in the ditch, but it was always stolen when it was ready to be eaten. Hopefully, asparagus poachers will be confused by the name change and start poaching tigers.

Just what kind of army specifies that they need a corkscrew?
Apparently if a country is neutral... they have an army with a lot of time to drink wine.
Funny, I don't hear you using this justification when discussing the psychotic and aimless reaction to Terrorism. I mean, was it _only_ [idrewthis.org] 3000 people who died in 9/11? Death is death, and whether it was 10 000 or 100 000 Iraqis who're dead for some bad judgement [idrewthis.org], it still sucks.
I use a similar argument all the time - in 2001 there were 30,622 suicides in the US. So even in the year with the most terrorism in the US ever - you were 10 times more likely to kill yourself than be killed by a terrorist!
...except that most of the features on a lot of TV's sold today are only accessible through the remote. Blocking the IR port may mean that you are limited to Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down, and Power.
My thoughts exactly, plus the biggest advantage of the remote is that it can be used remotely. A lot of TVs in public places can not even be reached without a ladder.
If this comes into widespread use, TVs and remotes will start to feature some sort of method to only allow authorized remotes to work.
the experience still won't be that of OSX on an Apple built machine
There were Mac clones in the 90s, and for me the experience was no different than an Apple Mac. I actually liked my clone better than any Apple desktop I've ever owned.
Memo to self: Don't live anywhere near an active volcano.
Just go to Volcano, Hawaii. Nice little town, at the top of the most active volcano in the world. I'd live there if I could. I would recommend the Volcano House to anyone - a hotel at the edge of the crater.
I'm not sure, but I think when they refer to a "9 second car", the 1/4 mile time is less than 10 seconds. So 9.99 seconds would qualify as a 9 second car. The average acceleration is at least 4.02 m/s/s, but not necessarily as high as 4.96711.
So, why would I want a notebook on a stand? Why wouldn't I want a regular notebook?
Most people don't want to go anywhere with they're computer. I'm not one of those people, I've got a notebook - but I wouldn't mind being able to hang it on a stand.
I'm just wondering when they'll put a battery inside and move the power supply outside like the notebooks so you could use this thing completely wirelessly and haul it wherever you want Include a touch/stylus screen..
Have any Starbucks locations gone out of business? Or will the overcaffeination of America continue its march into the future unhindered?
His site says he has been to 39 stores which have since closed.
In searching his site I discovered that the Starbucks I took a picture of in Seattle on the wild guess that it was the first Starbucks ever... was indeed the first Starbucks.
I knew Arlo when he was working on Kaleidoscope; I don't feel sorry for him. He had a great idea, and Apple took it. He used to work for Apple; I'm sure if he had left on good terms they would have tried to work with him.
is it really so hard to get to work, turn the PC on, get something to eat/drink/whatver and then go to your PC to check Emails after it finished booting?
It's also a worker's rights issue. The employees in these private establishments have to breath the air as well. You could argue that it's their choice to work there, but sometimes it's the only option.
There is one restaurant in town that doesn't allow smoking. They can't compete with the restaurants that do.
Personally, I think I'm addicted to second hand smoke, but I've never smoked a cigaratte in my life. I don't care if they do or not, but I think it is within the government's power to restrict smoking in public places.
About this smoking thing: I don't smoke. I just believe that a private establishment ought to be allowed to make their own decisions on whether or not to allow smoking. If so many people want smoke free bars/restaurants, then it would be to a business' benefit to go no smoking. Fact is, if a city requires it's bars and restaurants to go no smoking, they lose heavy business to neighboring cities. It's a perfect example of something that the market will work out for itself. And as far as mr. i don't like second hand smoke: neither do i! But you don't have a right to demand that others not smoke. If you don't like it, seek out non smoking establishments! Write a letter to your fav restaurant and tell them you'd like them to go smoke free. But for god's sake don't make it a law.
It's a public health issue. Public laws are being enacted to fix it.
They don't have to be desperate for computer repair even, just desperate for sex. I've had a girl invite me over to fix their computer, and looking back she invited me over for sex. But being a geek and knowing she had a boyfriend (1000 miles away) I never figured it out. She played for the university's women's hockey team and lived with her teammates.. she even skipped practice so we were there alone. The roommates get back from practice as I'm walking out the door... "what are you doing here" "I fixed her computer" "yeah, right" I think that's what got her kicked off the team. If I hadn't been there, her "I'm sick" excuse would have held up.
Do I keep my eyes open to make sure no one's parking moving trucks in strange locations or wearing heavy winter coats in the middle of Texas in summertime. Sure I do.
How many terrorists have you caught with this method?
Cargill might be that big (I'd guess more like $20 billion, outside of farmers no one really hears about them because they dont really care to have you know about them much less how big they are. Some of the bigger law firms and other partnerships in the country might be that big. Think along the lines of specialized business services, since to be that big you have to be national, and we would know about them if the sold goods to average folk.
I'm sure there are plenty of huge companies that most people have never heard of. To get that big, you've obviously got some customers, so some people with have to have heard about you.
Cargill was the wrong example to give to me. I had a couple employees from Cargill using my pulp lab (at a paper mill) a couple weeks ago. They left a mess. Also, I think a girl I went to school with (elementary-high school) is married to a Cargill.
Also as long as the state doesn't have to pay for hospital stays, rehabilitation, or long term care for those who injure themselves. Even Jessie Ventura discovered that the seatbelt law in his state was good because it saved the state a lot of money, just like motorcycle helmet laws. The law's not just protecting others, but protecting the taxpayers from having to deal with people's stupidity.
Jesse didn't have anything to do with the seatbelt law in Minnesota, it was in effect long before he became governor. The helmet law in MN only covers minors and riders with learner's permits. Jesse's contribution to transportation was the light rail in Minneapolis - which will hopefully reduce traffic in the long term.
I guess the alternative would be that if a person wasn't protecting themselves and hurt themselves, then the state would not in any way pay for a person's recovery and insurance companies wouldn't be required either. Then a person who hurts themself would either die (since a hospital wouldn't be required to treat them in the emergency room), fend for themselves, or be a burdon on their family and friends.
I think the emergency room is required to treat any emergency that shows up. If the state doesn't pay, the insurance company doesn't pay, and the person doesn't pay they'll either make up the loss by raising prices or if it happens enough they'd close the hospital.
Sigh....I always hated going to the University book store and spending 20 minutes going through the used pile to find one that hadn't been highlighted to death and defaced with illegible ramblings of someone who can't read and think at the same time.
Figure out your classes a semester early... find someone currently taking the class who bought a new book... offer to buy the book for a fair price if they don't mark it up. I would have sold you my books. Hell, I've still got most of them - what do you need?
If that is not a "troll" I do not know what is. What if they do come back with pictures, does that automatically make them liars?
Darn right. If they come back with the pictures, they're liars - the pictures were made before they left. If the come back with film and take it to Walmart to get it developed, they might have something.

Since when? 128KB = 1Mb if you know that "B" is byte and "b" is bit.
1 "B" = 8 "b"
128KB = 1024Kb = 1Mb
Google for "128KB in Mb"

That's portageability. Most types of conveyence are portable, only the canoe needs to be portaged.
Brilliant! Anything they'd show to anyone else would be digital anyway - either from a digital camera or the scanned Polaroids. Those can't be faked.
Darn right. If they come back with the pictures, they're liars - the pictures were made before they left. If the come back with film and take it to Walmart to get it developed, they might have something.
