If you apple people where smart, a few of you would take some shovels out there and dig up that piano crate Jobs was buried in. Thus release Zombie Jobs to go forth and clean some shit up.
(I do miss the days when you could accidentally drop your phone from a moving car, find the battery and cover, reassemble, and it still just worked.)
Those where they days. I liked how I could go to disney world for a week, forget my charger at home, and still have a half full battery when I got home.
administration inherited a strong recovery economy and went on a two-year cocaine binge. It's been a house of cards for a while now, and it's coming down. Of course we're going into recession.
You are mostly correct but here let me help you. What you meant to say is.
This administration created a strong recovery economy by removing barriers set up by the previous that was on a 8 year cocaine binge. This remains in place despite left wing attempt to sabotage or the previous administrations attempts to falsely clam it. Since they can't do ether they are now running around in circles with their hands over their heads screaming "recession" even despite evidence to the contrary.
There we go. All fixed for you. You should use the preview button to make sure your statements are correct in the future.
I'm sure your just trolling now, ether that or you really don't know what your doing. You could just have crappy hardware. Which leads back to you not knowing what you are doing.
But then just in case you are not trolling and are really this much of a linux zealot, I would suggest you get rid of your linux system and get a Mac. You are exactly the kind of person we don't need or want in the linux community. You and people like you are the reason linux has a image problems that it does. You're part of the problem, hell you are the problem.
Well denial isn't just a river in Egypt. Yeah, you can keep on telling yourself that all you want too. Doesn't make it true but if It helps you sleep at night. Enjoy your fantasy.
I believe the ads he is talking about are what windows calls "suggestions." They appeared to me as "suggestions" on the windows menu. But lets be honest, they are ads and not suggestions. They where also successfully eviscerated with a few clicks.
Unfortunately, windows 10 includes crap ware like Groove, Cortana, Ads that cannot be uninstalled
All of which can be turned off, uninstalled, or other wise neutered in the windows 10 pro version. I know this because I have done it. Well I did turn cortana back on after awhile. She is kind of useful when you take the time to figure her out. Even the "spy wear" those of you of the tin foil cap like to grouse about can be turned off.
At least in the pro version of windows 10. I think if you get the home version certain things cant be turned off because that is the trade off for getting a cheaper version.
Well if the Microsoft "dirty trick" was to have a better and more coherent disktop than linux then you might be on to something. Sorry people, but Microsoft has always had a better and more thought out desktop than linux. It has not always been the prettiest but when it comes to getting work done it is better.
When it comes to terrorism, backpacks are a far bigger risk than drones
What was he using the drone for? What if he was using the drone to scout out soft targets to shoot at? Granted, he probably wasn't but you can't be sure. Again, this isn't about the drone. It's about the idiot flying the drone. The drone just just small part of a bigger issue.
A few years ago this wouldn't have been a problem. Police would have just waited him out and arrested him for being stupid. But with the increasing body count from the followers of a certain religion you can't be that way any more. They police where not acting on the drone, they where acting on the fool flying the drone.
Wouldn't this be the truth. I like the concept of Edge. A small little browser with out all the crud. Unfortunately, there are still to many little annoying bugs.
A lot of those "benefits" and "hard work" you think the older generations owe you came about because of war. To create the post war economy that you millennials think you are "entitled" to came about because millions of people died.
Millennials are living in a relative age of peace. You may not think you are, but you are. You know nothing of the hard times earlier generations had. None of you have faced conscription into the armed forces. None of you have faced war time shortages or rationing.
My generation was also grew up in a age of relative peace but where close enough to know of people that died in Vietnam. Even though that war was a generation before my time.
Every generation has been handed down what came before. Problem with millennials is they seem to like to bitch and whine about it more than any generation before. At least the hippies that I like to bitch so much about knew what they where about and made something of themselves. I don't agree with them on everything but at least they where honest in their bitch'n.
At one point it seems like it did. Although "need" would be a generous term for it. What I find interesting is today we conciser ads being stuck to things to be something new. Its nice to know that 100 years ago people had the same problem with it that we have today.
Since we are well in the territory of useless trivia I learned one more thing about advertising through out the ages. Did you know that Roman gladiators would give product endorsements? They cashed in on their fame just like modern athletes. They don't show this in the movies because it wouldn't fit in with the image we have of the period. So Disney's Hercules was more to life than the movie Gladiator.
The explanation given elsewhere that thin paper = cheaper postage seems a lot more feasible.
You are probably correct and this is the original reason. But as to what could be gained from doing that? Well it was well known that a number of the Sears catalogs where used as toilet paper. Good cheap paper was hard to come by on the prairie. It would make good business sense to embrace this use.
Think about it. What would have happened to the catalog after the family got through ordering from it? It probably would have been thrown out if it couldn't be repurposed. If it finds its way in to the out house, where you have a captive audience reading it, it might mean more sales.
To me this would only seem logical. It's going to be used as toilet paper eventually, so why not embrace that? Turn it to your advantage.
Well it is kind of hard to improve on toilet paper, even after a hundred years. That is if they got it right in "The Puritan." One of the biggest issues with toilet paper, it took them awhile to come up with a perfect way to get all the splinters out.
I wonder if the "The Puritan" is guaranteed to be free of that issue too?
This is a very possible. I'm fully embracing the urban myth part of the Sears catalog here. More of that urban myth is the catalog stopped being used for this purpose some time after they switch to glossy paper. This could have been because by then most houses had access to purpose made cheap toilet paper. But I prefer to believe that it was because shit would simply no longer stick to the glossy pages.
Since, for some reason, we are talking about the Sears and the catalog here on/., I figured I would toss in some trivia that is just as relevant.
The original Sears catalog was printed on outhouse friendly paper. It was done so because the main place the Sears catalog would end up was in the outhouse. Where a it would be the primary reading material while one was taking a shit. Then when you where done you would just rip a page out of the catalog and wipe your ass with it.
Sears knew this was what the primary purpose of the catalog was being used and designed it to act accordingly.
An yet here we have a great example of the problem. You think just because YOU find these jobs boring that other people do too. YOU think that everyone has the same values as you do. That is far from the truth.
Odds are you have never done any of these jobs so you really know only what you have been taught about them. I have cousin that is welder. He loves his job. One month he is working on a job in New Orleans, a few months later he is welding high steel in Chicago. His job takes him all around the country.
I have another cousin who is diesel mechanic. He drives a truck around repairing broken down 18 wheelers. He rarely travels 30 miles from his home. He loves his job. He says he wouldn't be doing anything else.
A job, ether blue collar or white is what you make out of it. Some people just like working with their hands and wouldn't have it any other way.
Does this really surprise anyone? You have a bunch of self entitled millennials that have lied sheltered life and been fed a bunch of bullshit by these professors about how life should be. The come out of this indoctrination not having a clue how the real world actually works and with some bullshit degree in liberal arts. Where they think they are entitled to a job in whatever bullshit degree they got.
Then when reality sets in and its ether get a job waiting tables or starve they start bitch'n about some mythical fantasy about being entitled to something called a "living wage." Not realizing at the same time they have brought in low skilled undocumented workers that take the jobs that they think are beneath them and do turn them in to a "living wage." The undocumented do this by not living beyond the means the job provides.
Fairly static? They do not change. They are static, statistically speaking..
Actually a social security number can be changed. For all intents and purposes it requires a act of god but it can be done. I don't know all the instances where it can be done but I have heard of a new one being issued due to a massive case of identity fraud.
Names, Addresses, Social Security Numbers, phone numbers, etc etc etc. Any of this information is useful to identity thieves. It really doesn't mater how old it is as long as it can be used to link someone to something at some time. Some things like social security numbers and names never change. Things like past addresses and phone numbers can be used to link someones identity over time.
I'm kind of surprised a school hasn't been hit yet. I would imagine compared to banks and credit unions they would be soft targets security wise.

You say this now, but what happens when some evil hacker turns one of these up to say 5MW?
Actually that would be kind of cool if it was possible.

What if they just skipped the blackjack? Would that be enough to interest you?
