Both my Sandisk and Lexar drives have lasted for some time with no problems. It may be because I never put them in my pocket. I only hang them around my neck or place them in my laptop bag.
How do we expect our soldiers to gather evidence for the prosecution while they're being shot at? Because you need evidence when you're being forced to bring POWs to trial.
Expect a lot less mercy by our armed forces in the future.
Lenski's experiment is also yet another poke in the eye for anti-evolutionists, notes Jerry Coyne, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Chicago. "The thing I like most is it says you can get these complex traits evolving by a combination of unlikely events," he says. "That's just what creationists say can't happen."
Rather smug, immature behavior for a professional. Besides, creationists don't really debate changes like this, which they consider "microevolution". Microevolution isn't a legitimate concept, but attacks on creationists like this are still straw men. Jerry, let me know when you see a bacterium become multicellular.
Clearly, pedophilia and homosexuality are different things. However, regardless of what you "identify" with, if you engage in sexual behavior with someone of the same sex it's homosexual behavior. So is a person who says he's straight, but touches a 14 year old boy, "straight" or "gay"? Maybe he's neither, and we should stop using labels on people and just call perversions perversions because they're not the norm?
You're proud of them because they believe in "girl power" and gun control, and oppose religion and loyalty? I was hoping to find an article about charitable work and personal accomplishment. Instead, I read about 1970s radicalism and fundamental ignorance about the US Constitution.
Coincidentally, the Girl Scouts are a useless group that teaches young women and girls nothing except how to waste time and sell cookies. The Boy Scouts, on the other hand, teach men life lessons and all manner of pursuits.
Of course, don't let that stop you from destroying a great organization just because you disagree with them on your own agendas. Reasonable people would start an organization that openly welcomes gays and atheists and set an example through their success.
Funny how few people trumpet the cause of allowing girls into the Boy Scouts of America (proper) anymore. I guess it's just not fashionable.
Penn and Teller's show on the Boy Scouts was fascinating - turns out a huge chunk of the Boy Scouts is financed by the Mormon church.
And Mormons, as we all know, are EVIL. Congrats; you too are a bigot.
Or do you think that you should be able to retire on a single good idea which was probably a fluke?
Straw man. It only seems that musicians and Disney Corp. believe that nowadays.
(Because if it weren't a fluke, you'd probably be able to come up with another good idea).
Kind of a circular argument. It reserves invention for Mozart-like prodigies who can crank out and implement ideas before others can steal them. It also makes it impossible for the little guys to succeed, because the established firms will have no trouble reverse-engineering and ramping up the production of a clone.
Or, you could sell a higher-quality version, and see who would be willing to pay for it. You could sell an equally low quality version with a 'made in the USA' sticker on it and flog it to the patriotic. You could improve the product and have enough initially that you more-or-less saturate the market before it can be reverse-engineered and cloned. You could offer a longer guarantee. You could get a marketing gimmick. You could sell it as 'the original'.
All useless if you're interested in new ideas, not manufacturing. Many people have new ideas and can create prototypes, but bringing things to production is beyond their skill set or interests.
If you thought that was a risk in the first place, you could have sold your idea to someone else - made a guaranteed sum and got out whilst you were ahead, leaving them to bear the risk of the product being knocked off.
Who would pay for an idea when he could just read the abstract for free and then rip it off? Or are you supposed to buy people's ideas without reading about them first?
That's incorrect. The compression is part of totally separate protocols (v.42bis, MNP, v.44). 56K modems have a theoretical limit of 56Kbps down, 33.6 KBps up. This is done through the use of PCM conversion from the CO to the premises. Analog modulation is limited to 33.6. V.92 allows 48Kbps uploads via the use of PCM from the premises to the CO, but this reduces the download speed.
However, logically, the Bible is a big pile of inconsistent crap written by goat herders 2000 years ago. Really not worth my time and a shame that so many people model their life after it. I have never(*), and will never, study the Bible.
That's too bad, because even if you only looked at it from a purely historical viewpint, you'd realize that it wasn't written by goat herders; nor was it all written a mere 2000 years ago. The New testament was (approximately), but the OT is clearly much older. Just the extant manuscripts go back to ~250 BC, and there are citations from other texts going back much further.
(*) Oddly enough, I don't think I ever studied the Bible. Mostly my Catholicism teacher told the story and we got the interpretation for free. No need to think about it. I can't call that "study".
Matthew 10:37-38 clarifies the point that one is not necessarily to hate one's family, but not to place them above God. "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me."
Also, if you understand Matthew 5:29, you will understand his response to the rich man. "If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell." Obviously, Jesus doesn't really want people to maim themselves; but this is serious business. A Bible passage familiar to most people warns that "love of mammon is the root of all evil," and this rich man had fallen right into that trap.
Ten years from now, I'm sure GTA IV will seem quite quaint. You will probably be able to beat up holographic hookers; experiencing realistic tactile feedback as your Louisville Slugger cracks into their skulls, and hearing the ripe-melon splats in true 3D positional audio piped directly into your brain. On the other hand, you still won't be able to get a decent cup of hot coffee.
The problem is that tree-hugging is not directly related to civil rights, and in fact a bunch of stodgy Republicans pushed the Civil Rights Act through Congress.
NAV corporate was great (Symantec bought the Intel Landesk VP and greatly improved it) until version 10, when it turned into a do-it-all bloatfest just like the consumer version.
But, I would have to say, when you actions lead to someone being beaten, jailed, and forced to use the same dish to eat and shit, then you can be sure your action was evil.
I disagree. Many people have done good things, only to see their friends and family be jailed and beaten in retaliation.

What does the flat global mean temp over the last 10 years indicate? After all, we're burning more fossil fuels than ever.
Too bad it was before the days of frickin' laser beams.

Obviously, your experience with lesbians is limited to adult films.

The C64 had 64KB of RAM: hence the name. That being said, it did have only 38K free for BASIC and 42 for ML.

That should buy a lot of toothpaste and mouthwash.
He should have deployed wave after wave of needle snakes. Gorillas love snake meat, and in the winter they freeze to death.
