What would a day at the footy be without a meat pie? A true Aussie icon, quality-assured by the Food Standards Code.
Well, if you want to call it quality. The Code actually doesn't ask for very much when it comes to meat content for meat pies: 25% is all that's required. And the definition of 'meat' is currently quite liberal at that -- snouts, ears, tendons and blood vessels from a surprisingly large range of animals all qualify.
So we think it's deceit if a treat cheats on even that little meat. The BLACK AND GOLD had only 17% of the good stuff, which is not only shonky -- it's unAustralian.
A) What the hell is a "footy"?
B) Is it just me or do "meat pies" seem obscenely disgusting?
Wonderful idea for the manufacturers, flash drives only get so many [wikipedia.org] read/write cycles before they go T.U. Not so good for the consumers.
What would be neat is if you could swap out flash drives in the event of a failure. Or upgrade the flash drive capacity. I'd be more interested in that than a permanently integrated flash drive. You're correct to be skeptical of its lifespan.
On another note I can think of one beverage that is zero calories and makes you feel great. Just plain old water. I started drinking a couple liters of it a day about 2 years ago and I've never felt better. No more dehydration to make me feel sluggish and tired. That's way better than any caffiene buzz (which just exacerbates dehydration by the way). I love caffiene, but I think it's overused.
Could allofmp3.com route such purchases through paypal?
I realize it probably would not work but it is a posibility.
At a point in the past they did accept PayPal funds. Their site doesn't even mention Paypal anymore. Paypal probably wouldn't allow transfers to allofmp3 for similar reasons that Visa won't allow it now.
What's amazing is that Visa ever allowed it in the first place.
How's that amazing? Visa makes money off of every transaction. I'd say that they only quit because someone put pressure on them, not because they want to stop making money on those transactions.
They want money just like every other corporation. I'm sure that they don't entirely care where the money came from. I'm pretty sure that you can still use Visa to pay for pornographic content that may be illegal in your particular region of the country (sodomy anyone?).
There was that incident a while back of a [b]North Korean[/b] scientist faking his results in a cloning experiment. That scientist then came clean and blamed the enormous pressure on scientists in that society/government. Perhaps the GP was making an assumtion based on similar political structures as opposed to racial background. I admit being extra sceptical about press releases coming out of the PRC.
It was a South Korean scientist who admitted to faking his results.
You may not know, but South Koreans are not Communists.
However, I am a scientist. And, guess what, my wife is from South Korea. We've had a number of discussions about Hwang Woo-suk (the scientist in question).
I can state, as a scientist, that there's a lot of pressure to get certain results. If you don't get some kind of results you don't get grants. You don't get grants, you can't continue your research.
My wife states, as a South Korean, that there can be a lot of cultural pressure to succeed and that it can be quite overwhelming at times.
I think that the GP (my GGP) was saying that due to all the cultural pressures it may be too tempting for Chinese scientists to fake results.
I'd love to have one unified, well-designed, attractive and ergonomic handheld game unit preloaded with a lightweight, unlocked, extendable OS and emulators for every system ever made.
I'd pay a lot of money for that.
But that won't happen in my lifetime, because of the approach the game companies take to copyright law and the razor-and-blades marketing approach.
Oh yeah? How about a portable gaming system that runs Linux and is homebrew friendly (unlike PSP and GB)? Maybe you should give this little guy a try.
It already has a nice homebrew community behind it.
And cheap? How about $180? Is that cheap enough?
From the "About" page: "It can play games. It can play your Movies. It can play your music. It can view photos. It can read Ebooks. It runs on just 2 AA batteries - And it can do all this in the palm of your hand or on your TV screen."
And...
"It runs the free Linux operating system. This means a whole world of Games, Utilities and Emulators are at your disposal. Quake, Doom, SNES, Megadrive, MAME, Media players and Applications to name just a few."
And...
"It's open. You want to develop your own games for the GP2X? Go right ahead. The SDK is included with the system free. Not since the days of the Amiga has a system been so easy to develop for, commercially and for fun."
Verizon has, unfortunately, coupled its FiOS service with its telephone service.
As a Verizon FIOS subscriber (have been for the past 4 months or so), I can attest that you don't need to have phone service through Verizon to get FIOS. In fact, I did have phone service through them and the day after my FIOS was connected I shut off my phone service and went with Vonage.
Does this guy do his research?
Also the article states that the speeds are 5, 10 and 15 MBps. That's wrong. It's Mbps.
...but that even after the split you'd have a chimp breed with a human, producing a mule that, while it could not breed with other mules, could breed with either a human (in which case the human children have one chimp grandparent) or a chimp (in which case the chimp children have one human grandparent).
