retaining religious symbols in aid organizations perpetuates the misconception that religions have something to do with altruism. So, you're saying that major religions, such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, do not promote charity? Seriously, you need to do some minimal research, as it is a central theme throughout them.
We're not talking about groups like Scientologists here, we're talking about groups whose symbols are people who gave up or eshewed lives of gluttony and lived to help those around them. Whether or not leaders of these groups today are 100% representations of this mission is moot; they're just people, not the religions themselves.
That presumes that putting CO2 into the atmosphere does something bad. Which it does not. (Rises in temperature CAUSE a rise in CO2. CO2 is dissolved in the oceans. When the temperature rises, water evaporates, and CO2 is released. Graphs show CO2 actually rises directly after an increase in temperature not before.) Riiiight, and the water levels for the oceans isn't rising due to things like the polar ice caps melting.....
Maybe your theory would make sense if there were less liquid water in the oceans as the temperature of the world increases. However, what we are experiencing is the opposite.
I don't know anyone who actually bought Vista unbundled, but I know plenty of people who got it pre-installed and kept using it.
They experience Vista's problems and huge system requirements, but they keep using it anyway. Maybe it's because they don't want to admit to themselves that they indirectly bought garbage. Um, they probably don't realize how much it slows their computers down because their new laptop they bought in 2008 is significantly faster than their computer they bought in 2003. So, from their perspective, their computer is either just as fast, or maybe a little faster than their old one. What they don't realize is that it's supposed to be A LOT faster than what they bought 5 years ago.
But hey, if the customer is happy, why is anyone to complain?

A: No, because companies are already so deep with old.xls files and macros built for said files that they will still be unwilling to transition from Microsoft Office to StarOffice.
That, and StarOffice just doesn't feel polished compared to MSOffice.
I seriously think that the macros built around companies' documents & spreadsheets are what's keeping them locked in to MSOffice, not the file format, per se
And for all you OO.o fans out there, don't even bother getting started; StarOffice is essentially OO.o, but with better support for MSOffice formatted documents, plus it has better tools like its thesaurus. OO.o may be nice for you, but there's a reason why Sun can sell StarOffice, and it's not because Sun's evil, and it's not *just* about tech support.
Seriously, if Notepad was all you were using before, and that was good enough, give Wordpad a shot. I've had to use Wordpad to open multi-megabyte.txt's when Notepad failed me.
and this is applicable to a family with children, how... exactly?
It's not really that the *children* need toys, insomuch as the parents need toys for their children so said children don't cause the parents to explode.
FutureMap: This program hoped to use a kind of terrorism futures market to predict key developments and even attacks. It was thought market valuations of possible future events could reflect the probability of their occurring. However, FutureMap was scrapped in 2003 after the notion of betting on terrorist atrocities was called "ridiculous and grotesque" by US politicians. $50 says that this project still exists, albeit underground
Nokia has almost no cdmaOne/CDMA2000 phones. They're a GSM/UMTS shop. Then look for Nokia's other countries that use CDMA. I know that Japan uses/used CDMA (don't know if they completely got rid of it now that they're 3G.) Hong Kong uses CDMA as well, and their Nokia site is in both Chinese (I'm guessing Mandarin, but I really have no clue) and English. Just go to http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/index.asp and check out what other countries use CDMA, and then check out those countries' pages for Nokia or any other large company like SonyEricsson
I'd love to see cell phones become like cell phone numbers: you can them whereever you go. Hardware should be carrier independent. It's not like my ISP makes me buy a computer which only works with their network. My TV works with any cable provider. But my cell phone?
Um, you can, more or less. It's called GSM. You can use any GSM phone that supports 850/1900 with any GSM carrier in the US. Most GSM phones sold in the US are 850/1800/1900, which means that you can even use those in other places like Europe. Just pop out the SIM card, put in a new one that you buy once you get to your destination, and viola, no roaming/international charges.
This is the sole reason why I'm sticking with T-Mobile. I get a Verizon discount at work, but for the value of the discount, it only brings the phone bill down to what I'm paying with T-Mobile. I'll use the discount on FiOS and a landline, maybe TV as well, but Verizon is staying hella far away from my mobile.
Just sell them on eBay and have the buyer pay for S&H. S&H should be no more than $20, and with laptops that old, people don't expect the batteries to be too good. Hell, just sell them w/out the batteries and S&H will be even less.
For a while I was looking for 1Ghz T23's, just to have something to bring to class to take notes with. Prices for those hovered around $200+, I believe.
The ridiculous Anakan character didn't help. I could never figure out if the Anakin character was supposed to be that emotionless, or if the actor was just that bad.... I'm banking on the actor being that bad, since nobody can be emotionless wrt Natalie....
Umm, America's Army is produced by the US Army, not the USAF. Hell, the US Army logo is everywhere in that game. Two very separate branches of the US armed forces.
Many universities and other publically-spirited sites mirror several distros. Different release cycles spread out the load on these servers. Having multiple distros being updated at once will result in more people updating at the same time. The result would be servers sitting almost idle for periods of time, with short periods of "server not available".
This is not a joke. I remember, years ago, when Redhat was *THE* major end-user distro. When a new version came out, regular users would have to wait a week or so before they could download it. But that's why RedHat also posted.torrents, so if their servers were slow you could use the community.
Probably wont be a popular thing to say but back in the VCR days the stakes were a lot lower than they are today. It didn't matter so much back then because the tape of the show inherently couldn't travel very far and there was inherent pain in stripping out or fast forwarding through the commercials, to they were mostly for fair use. Not to mention that there were considerably LESS COMMERCIALS back then. That is, unless you consider a show or hour being sponsored by a single company or two an hour-long commercial....
Apologizing to Galileo, Hell is a metaphor, evolution is real, now aliens could exist. The Vatican is really taking their modernization seriously, aren't they?
Next week they'll be approving a new brand of condoms. They're open at both ends...
I'd rather suggest that it's a selection bias. Among young people, TV is a lot less common than among older people, who often use it instead of social contacts (who are either dead or old and not very mobile themselves). I think you have a different perspective of what the summary considers "old people." I'm guessing they are referring to baby-boomers, not the boomers' parents. So this would include people in their 50's.
Then again, I havn't RTFA, so I probably shouldn't even be talking.
Well, they do, but it tends to be once they hit 23 or so, stop running, stop eating healthily, and have already been in a relationship for at least 6mo, so the image of their body's shape is less obvious to whoever they convinced to be their boyfriend. Once they subvertly persuade you to propose to them and you both say your "I do's," it only gets more downhill....
The Inspiron isn't comparable to the Mac Book Pro, though. The Inspiron is more along the lines of the Mac Book. I always thought that the Latitude was closer in line with the MBP, but I don't really know of any Dell products that come with the same quality as a MBP.
If you want to get closer to an apples-apples comparison, you really have to move towards laptops like thinkpads.
There is NOTHING on the Internet that can't be had offline (tomes of dead trees, video stores, record stores, the local adult empornium, mostly the last one). Care to tell my company how I can remotely log in to their network and work over the weekend without having physical access to their campus? I'd *love* to hear your recommendation for a company with over 5,000 employees to provide access to all pertinent data on each employee's laptop, and a way to keep that data sync'ed with the other employees.
