Not nearly as annoyed as the Phone-monkey at the Teleco who has to pull the user records for the pending court date. Wait...
...the Teleco, being annoyed, takes the police to court...and finding themselves annoyed, takes the teleco to court....the court, finding this all annoying, takes the federal government to court...Who finds this highly annoying as they're busy already with the upcoming election cycle...and the entire system implodes.
Dear god! Someone stop Hob42 from calling the cops!
I went into a Best Buy just last week. My wireless mouse was acting up and tired of replacing batteries, I wanted a good old fashioned wired mouse. After searching for an employee to show me where they were (because I couldn't seem to locate them myself) I was shown to a small corner of the showroom behind the Ipad 2 displays.
23 mice. Thats it. Every last one of them was Wireless. When I asked about this I was shown some package deals they had of Keyboard and Mouse (which I didn't need) that had a wired mouse. Aside from being horribly cheap looking, I didn't need the keyboard.
When I got home, I went on Amazon.com, read a few reviews, and ordered excatly what I wanted. Its on its way as I type this, sure I didn't have it same day...but when you can no longer even FIND what you're looking for in a big box store, what the hell is the point?
Pretty much, I own a PS3, and I got one rather late so it didn't come with PS2 supported games, which I never got around to owning.
So this new system will come out, render all my hardware for the PS3 useless, render all my games unplayable, and wont let me buy games used anymore. Why, excatly, would I buy this thing?
I PC game more than I play around on the PS3, this would just nail the door shut on anything future from myself and my family. Really sorta sad, watching these companies eat themsevles. Lets hope its all lies and slander, but I think we all know better than that.
Have a source, or are you going to continue to make stuff up?
And before you tell me to do my own research, you brought it up, you defend it.
I dont even know if you're right, or wrong. But your claiming we cant trust all major news sites about a story that could impact every human on the face of the planet is a major red flag.
Not to mention Neonicotinoid being sprayed on seeds is not 'GMO'. Its standard pesticide. So...yeah, balls in your court champ.
So as long as you're legally allowed to walk away from the job, whatever they do to you is OK in your book?
Congratulations, you're now a young female irish immigrant in new york in 1911. To prevent you from taking breaks your boss has locked the fire exits of the building, and there's no real fire codes being enforced because nobody knows better. A fire breaks out on the 8th floor of the building you're working on, but you work on the 9th and since there's no audio fire-alarm you dont realize there's a fire untill well after all the exits that are NOT locked are either full of impossibly thick smoke, dead bodies, and/or flames.
But hey! Legally, you could have organized a union and prevented this stuff, even if it meant your job; before this horrible event that killed more people than any other event in NY City history up to the 9/11 event. So its all good.
There are situations where Herd immunity is very important.
People can be in situations where they cannot take vaccines for various health reasons, and in these cases these people rely on the effects of Herd Immunity to keep from getting sick.
When some idiot refuses to get vaccines without an actual, good, reason, they hurt people who dont have that choice.
If taking the vaccine will kill you because of allergic reaction, for example, you dont have much choice if the vaccine that exsists ONLY exists in that way. Sometimes there are other options, but not always, it depends on the vaccine and why they cant take it.
Unless they invited said people to look in said window or read said journal, as is happening here.
Its not like they're saying "We're doing this, and you cant stop us!" They're saying "If you're willing, we'll give this in exchange." Weather you find that exchange fair is one thing to debate, but dont try to drive the discussion to "spying" when they asked first, and give you something in return for the information.
This isn't really true any longer of a modern (say within the last few years) Gaming PC. Sure, the other guy with the 4 thousand dollar top of the line Gaming PC can run everything at Max settings and still be smooth..so I have to play BF3 at low settings..its still smooth, and in the end its still a game of skill at that point.
But earlier on a lower end gaming rig really would hang up on these games...10's of FPS difference with the same lowest settings. Machines have gotten so increadibly powerful it takes a lot to kill them to the "unplayable" range anymore.
This is excluding bugs that drive framerates into the ground of course. But even the high end rigs get stuck dealing with those, so it all evens out.
The only thing either of you have proven is that you're more than willing to bash the other party, but are completly blind to what the party you seem to support is doing.
Are the republicans a bunch of thugs out for their own? Yup.
Are the democrats a bunch of thugs out for their own? Yup.
This is why I vote for a third party, even though im 'throwing away' my vote, im not part of this mess. For all I know, they'd do the same, but i'll reserve that judgement for if that ever actually happends.
Man, we're a bunch of idiots. Why deport all of those illegal immigrants when we can just arrest 'em and have 'em work real cheap!
The ironic part of that, is in general people are upset because they're 'taking american jobs!'. They take them because we either A) dont want them or B) wont do them for the wage being offered.
What if you strongly ionized the neon prior to pump excitation?
If you shred off the outer valences, and simultaneously expose the gain medium to a very strong positive static potential, the neon ions would be much easier to excite.
...then reverse the polarity of the deflector dish. Right? I like to think im an intelligent person, but some of you people make me feel like im still in pre-school.
I'd be fine with this point of view if we were activly paying other companies to then compete with AT&T with similar tax subsidized plans.
Instead we have companies like AT&T activly sueing competition from even getting started, and doing everything in their power to maintain that power. Power they have because we granted them a monopoly to get things going.
Long as they want to be the only game in town, they damn well better be beholden to the tax payer that put them there in the first place. To claim otherwise is Ludicrous!
No standing? If I was looking to make a new phone, and saw MS pulling this garbage, i'd think twice about using Android untill it was settled. How is that not damaging to Google?
Im not claiming its EASY to say how much, but there must be SOME grounds for damage to the name of the product currently being threatened to be sued by a multi-billion dollar company, isn't there?
...and so you'd run to the store to get more flat soda. After a few thousand runs of this you begin to lose weight, solving the obesity epidemic.
Meanwhile, the grocery store is making several hundred thousand dollars an hour selling bottles of now flat soda nobody drinks, but everyone keeps buying, thus they need to start hiring more cashiers and stockpeople to keep up with demand, fixing the economic crisis.
China cant keep up with the sudden demand in pastic bottle consumpsion and the only solution is to start building giant factories in the US, cranking out tens of billions of flat-soda enducing soda bottles, again helping with unemployment and the economic crisis.
The resulting boom to the economy renders most other non-soda based industrys defunct, remvoving any insentive to patent anything but new soda bottle designs (who cares about the flavors, nobody drinks it anyway) solving our patent issues.
Political talking heads can now only convince people to buy (but not drink) either Coca-Rebublica or Demoepsi, and all political grandstanding is non-important postering to look good for the camera...so no real changes here.
Of course not, you're running for your life, all else doesn't matter so you wont lose that information.
What you will lose, is which way you ran. Did you duck left, or right? Did I jump over that hole or dive into it? How the heck do I get back to where I was?
Once you're safe, you'll suddenly find yourself lost. Oddly enough, this doesn't make you safe, but you're still alive, so atleast you have a chance. Just watch out for the grue.
Right up untill the release of all this CO2 and other crap from coal renders the entire surface of our planet unfit for human living conditions. And that doesn't even require an accident; just time.
Lets hope not, the heat death of the universe isn't supposed to be for another
99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,986,250,000,000 years or so, give or take a few...hundred billion or so.
Its not so much that someone's gotta do it, its that only one person needs to, and suddenly (thanks to services like Bit Torrent) it's now available to everyone.
This is why the entire concept is broken from the start. Even if the only way to record the video involves recording each and every pixel on the LCD Monitor its decrpyted to, frame for frame, you can bet someone, somewhere, will figure out how to do that. As long as its actually watchable, it's able to be pirated. So only people who actually legitly pay for the service get hurt, as eventually to be effective, it cant be watched.
Some would argue we're virtually already to that point.
While I understand what you mean, i'd point out that most soap operas are actually no longer on the air. May be some reruns on some stations, but they've virtually vanished compared to their hayday.
Oddly, the AMD fanboys were making the opposite argument back in the days when you could cook your breakfast on your Pentium-4 while checking your email.
This is why I was always sad nobody invented a teflon topped computer case.
I'd like to read my morning email while cooking bacon, eggs, and pancakes.
Bonus points if you can get a waffle iron in there somehow. ,

The other day I got a 1951 Canadian Penny as change. Im in Wisconsin, USA.

You're an idiot.
Only if you launch it into ocean water atleast 2,500 feet deep.

Yeah..except for the fact that they state, rather specifically, that the clumping is NOT a result of flocculation.
