"Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company."
What IS it with the radical anti-government types CAPITALIZING random words all OVER the PLACE? Seems to be part of a general style for a certain type of commenter, wonder where it originates from.
How, exactly, does any of this affect his credibility as a researcher? If the report checks out as reproducible, that should only make his research more credible. His job is research, not Apple customer service.
You can pay off a credit card at any time, though, at which point you don't have to give them another cent. With this arrangement, on the other hand, you'll have to pay indefinitely, no matter how much you've already paid.
To be fair, this sounds more like serfdom, where the villeins owe a fraction of their labor to their lords, than slavery, where the slaves owe 100% of their labor to their masters.
I have no objections to the telcos making it easier for bounty hunters to track down fugitive criminals. The faster those get caught, the better off the rest of society is. The fact that there are no controls in place to keep this data from getting in the hands of stalkers, burglars, jealous spouses, and nosy neighbors is the far bigger concern.
The only information communicated by the unironic use of the term "late capitalism" is that the speaker has nothing of substance to say and is not worthy of one's attention.
You don't owe 2 weeks' notice to your boss, you owe it to the rest of your team, who are going to be left holding the bag when you're gone. If you're the sort of person who'd screw over your former co-workers like that, I would not want to be your current co-worker.
Whether or not they're out to ruin my life, all telemarketers are out to waste my time and disrupt my routine. I have no issues with wasting their time right back, hopefully making the business model that employs them a little less profitable and thus a little less viable. I'd love to see all the world's telemarketers lose their jobs and be forced to find productive employment.
A clump of cells is not an infant and represents a trivial investment of resources on society's and the mother's part. Definitions are important, otherwise you could easily pay off the national debt if you defined "paying off" as "sucking" and "the national debt" as "my dick".
If the quantity being defined can be expressed as a function of lower level fundamental units, why shouldn't it be expressed as such? Why introduce new axioms to express concepts that can be derived as theorems?
While both A and B may be perfectly valid ways of going forward, it's important to pick a single valid way and stick with it. Constant friction and politicking between factions advocating for A and B is liable to doom a project that could have succeeded following either path.
It's definitely a factor when deciding whom to vote for in various local elections. I'm more likely to vote for bob@bob4dogcatcher2018.com or bob@gmail.com than I am for bob@aol.com or doghumper420@hotmail.com.
I've never worked at a tech company that had a dress code. I've seen jeans, shorts, band t-shirts, and trucker hats at meetings, and not a single eyebrow was raised.
And that is fine! Today's luxury housing will be middle-class housing in a couple of decades and low income housing in a few more. The rich who move into the new luxury housing vacate older housing, making it more affordable.
The USSR had a pretty severe housing shortage for most of its existence and had an active black market in real estate, so that option doesn't particularly help either.
SSDs are clearly the storage technology of the future, no doubt about that. My 80GB X25-M is the best $300 I spent on on my computer.
Right now, though, while they are still an order of magnitude more expensive per terabyte than traditional enterprise drives, addressing vibration sounds like an ingenious and cost-effective way for companies to squeeze out more performance out of available technology.

Let's hope this works out better than the last time an ISP bought Time Warner.

What can I say? Al's a funny-looking guy.
I don't know. This _is_ the CIA we're talking about.
Not as mind numbing as your misspelling of "your".
The failure was between the seat and the brake pedal.
The real solution is getting the government out of the business of granting monopoly privileges over math.
