Less than ideal, but the most recent release included a dvd transfer of the old laserdisk masters. it's letterbox, not anamorphic, but at least it's the original move before old man Lucas vomited all of that CGI all over it.
Seconded. Since the company I work for is now international, most of our existing customers we only speak with when they're having problems. I get a huge amount of good material and inspiration from the existing customers I speak with at the show. Sales leads are great too and are the main reason for attending, but the face to face with existing customers is a very nice side perk.
So far, all i've heard is here but you've got a point about Texas being resistant to change. Ironically, Austin (the people who live there, not the government) seems to be one of the more flexible parts of the state, that may be why they chose there first.
You forgot that he does allow for 1 uni-tasker. The fire extinguisher. Then the anniversary special came around and he created an alternate use for that as well....
Not actually trying to troll, I realize there will be people who claim to have listened to it 'by accident', but I have to wonder how many people actually did listen to it accidentally by hitting 'shuffle all' on their music collection?
Lot of good points there, but I do have a question, because the fan that I was of TNG and TOS doesn't remember a ban on warp 9. I remember Picard and the Enterprise D travelling at greater than warp 9 on occasion (though only a few times under their own power)
I know there was a 'theoritcal limit' that warp 10 was "Impossible" but then, VOY had to go and break that too....
That's where content filters on the smartphone/smartphone browser come in. Hell, Google has a 'safesearch' feature that was designed to prevent accidentally finding porn.
there's a difference between the client being protected (your crossing guard and school zone speed limit analogy) and protecting all clients who aren't invited. To stay with the car analogy, we're talking about a private racetrack in the middle of nowhere with no way to get the word out to people who might be interested but don't know it exists.
cool idea, but the no checks thing could be a killer... my landlord has this strange refusal to take any kind of card for the rent, they accept check, money order, or cashier's check only. Which means if my bank account is card only, I'm stuck paying the fees for money order or cashier's check every month, and dealing with the hassle of actually having to go somewhere to get one.
Still, this is a personal experience thing. I couldn't get by with no checks, but someone who has a more reasonable landlord can.
Only if you can meet their account 'requirements', which in my experience usually include either an extremly high minimum balance or regular monthly direct deposits from your employer.
it's a pain in the backside to get an employer to split direct deposits among multiple accounts, and maintaining the high balance kind of defeats the point of trying to keep someone from cleaning you out.
Sure, some small banks and credit unions have lower requirements, but then you run in to issues like lack of atm/branch access, no 24 hour telephone support, etc.
I'm sorry, what? You're the one that made the equivalency between gun owners and strippers putting their neighbors at risk. My counter argument was that the gun is dangerous to the neighbors even if nobody knows it is there. It can still be found by a kid, an intruder, go off by accident, intentionally because someone has a mental break, etc. Even without any neighbors knowing it is there. Sure, the stripper is still there too, but If she has a mental break and 'goes off by accident' then you might have a few kids who saw some boobs early in life. Though I admit some would argue that could be pretty damaging too I suppose. I should note that I'm still assuming in both cases we aren't dealing with 'lowlifes' showing up specifically because of the knowledge of what is in the house.
If we DO assume someone finds out what is in the house, I still see the following scenarios: 1- Lowlife shows up to steal gun. Low life either steals gun and uses it to kill someone, or gets shot by gun owner. 2-Lowlife shows up to accost/molest/stalk the stripper. There is danger to the neighbors, though mostly on the piece of mind front. The DANGER to the neighbors is greater in the first situation. Not that I'm advocating that the stripper should be sacrificed because of their profession, they don't deserve that even though it is a risk of the job. The gun owner could also be a target, but the mind set of most of the gun owners I know is that owning the gun gives them a way to protect themselves.
tldr; I never once said that the licensing was the problem, I've been arguing against the public release of those records. It's the public release of that information that needs to be discussed and more than a little bit of sense applied to when/where/how it is used.
And finally, back to the alcohol problem. If bars are forced to stop serving at 2, and strip clubs are allowed to serve until 5, it sounds like to me the local laws about serving alcohol need to be addressed to get rid of the loophole. Again, it's not the strippers that are the problem, but the fact that their establishment is getting preferential treatment.
Still not buying that the fact that some people are allowed to dance naked in front of other people being the reason that she died. She died because some shithead got drunk and killed her. Just because he was able to go to the strip club and 'keep on chugging' doesn't mean that he wouldn't have stopped had the strip club not been there.
Unless you're saying that the strip club served him the alcohol after normal bars are forced to stop. If that's the case, it STILL sounds like the problem isn't the dancers but the fact that the clubs are allowed to bend the rules on alcohol sales.
I'm not trying to say what happened here isn't a tragedy, but pointing a finger at the dancers and saying it's their fault seems to be looking for a scapegoat instead of really looking for the problem.
Getting drunk at a strip club is the same as getting drunk at a bar, or getting drunk at a friends house. If you drive home after, you're still a drunk driver. Hell, in the part of the country where I grew up, the strip clubs seldom, if ever, even sold alcohol.
Also, your equivalency isn't. People KNOW where the strip clubs are, they have signs. People do not know where guns are stored. There are no signs. Just because someone works in a strip club doesn't mean that they take their work home with them. Their neighbors are not at risk, unless some 'well meaning' individual releases the dancer's home address. THEN their neighbors have the issues with the lowlifes you mentioned.

As a matter of fact, they did come up with a fix to it's web browsing. It's called "ANY other mobile browser than Silk."

Spelljammer already happened. It was called Treasure Planet,
Samsung already calls their tables the Galaxy Tab. Maybe Samsung Galaxy S Table?

Considering that the book depository that you're thinking of is about 200 miles away, and in Dallas, I think they're safe.....
We could. They will just have to run around wearing hats with 'Wizzard' emblazoned in sequins.
Any chance for a link to the video?

This is why I shouldn't read the comments section at work...
And you think that they auto makers aren't doing that deliberately?

Don't think that matters, if the wrong head looks like a dick, the other one isn't getting any attention....
True, but it doesn't allow them to see your search terms, which tfa specifically says they will be logging.
you can sue anyone for anything. And when their business model is specifically designed to undermine yours.......

less than a day old at the time I'm writing this....
Particularly since you're talking about Mint and not one of the more solid and robust distros like Ubuntu or Red Hat.
