Sometimes they can't get into the registers without the electronics. That would be a somewhat valid reason, even if you had all the tax tables and such at the register.
Of course, it would be an even better reason for a decent UPS running at least one of the registers, but I don't own one of those stores;)
Same reason FPSs suck on consoles. The input is crap for the game style, and they want a completely controlled environment so everyone is reduced to the same lowest common denominator.
They'd see a severe reduction in business from me. I do buy things in stores as long as they give me a reason to. Remove those reasons, and I'm not gonna shop there.
Just remember that you're not buying books on your Kindle, you're only renting them indefinitely and Amazon reserves the right to take it back whenever it wants to.
Doesn't matter. That just delays the problem by a few months, it doesn't solve it. There's not enough IP space for all the devices being hooked up, period. No matter how we divvy it up. NAT is not a solution.
The problem is that most of those people overestimate their abilities, and I have a vested interest in eating. So they'll go in and fuck something up, and I am the one on the hook to fix it. And if they haven't approved the budget to do appropriate backups and such (why would they? They have no connection to reality given their overestimation of their abilities), then I get fired for letting things break. It may be expensive for the owner, it may even put him out of business. BUT I AM FUCKED AS WELL. Just because there are more of us sharing it doesn't make it better. Seeing that issue coming and saying "no" to password requests is just doing prudent risk management.
A good compromise may be to just say "Let's put the passwords in an escrow of some sort" so that the boss won't have access until you need to leave (or get hit by a bus), but he'll still have access if he needs it and it's most critical.
Depends on the car. If it's one of the newer models with a plastic bumper, even from a salvage yard you're talking $200+ for the bumper, hopefully getting one that matches your car.
China is not immune, either. The problem is that you're a nationalist, and not a patriot. A patriot would look at these leaks as places to improve America, as information that the voters NEED to know in order to make informed decisions. I sure as shit want to know if they State Department is engaging in political maneuvering at the behest of Visa and Mastercard. That's pretty fucking important in a free, democratic society.
The government does need secrets. But it should not be given ultimate authority of censorship, either. Even if it doesn't like some of the things being leaked. Because the alternative is China, just as you suggest.
The birther crap ignored the facts because it didn't fit the agenda. Given what facts are out there that we know about, the US/CIA tie to Assange's accuser isn't ruled out. That's the difference.
Except for the fact that this development is absolutely nothing like what you describe. But hey, who let anything like logic stand in the way of a "I used to do X back in the day" post?
That's exactly it. It's a way to have two layers of silicon stacked and still connected through each other. Because right now all the connections for a memory chip are around the edges and the back, and you can't really double that up with just more wires.
Not really. Genetics don't change that quickly. We've been eating meat for millions of years, and those dietary needs won't change. Most of the western world does eat a lot more meat than they need, but a healthy vegan needs supplements to make up for missing nutrients easily available in meat. Even more so for children.
That still doesn't mean they didn't just rescind their common carrier protections by doing this. I say they are legally culpable for everything illegal that is on EC2.
I'm just wondering how someone who supposedly has been using the Internet for so long can think that it's even possible to close wikileaks for good. Jail Assange, take away the domain, sure. But you can't close it.
I don't see how her Constitutional support is an issue. I mean, it's just like her (and most of the Republican party's) support of the Bible, cherry-picking what she wants to adhere to. At least she's consistently inconsistent.
A 2TB spec is plenty for the next 10-15 years. If you need more, you're not talking about a consumer-level spec, and you may as well develop your own system.

Breathe through your nose. It helps.
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
And then it's just fun.

It's not an American phenomenon. It's a phenomenon that happens when people have a lot of disposable income.
I'm tired of this "Americans suck" bullshit. People suck, it doesn't matter where you come from.

What, you think you were conceived immaculately? ;)

Look at the bolded text in the post you replied to.
He was wondering on what planet summers were 25 weeks long. Not on what planet you could do 55 knots with a 25 knot wind.

I don't hate America
Nothing "solid", but there's a lot more validity to it than the birther idiocy: http://my.firedoglake.com/kirkmurphy/2010/12/04/assanges-chief-accuser-has-her-own-history-with-us-funded-anti-castro-groups-one-of-which-has-cia-ties/

There's a reason Joss Whedon chose a mix of Chinese and English as the evolution of language in Firefly...
This needs to be modded +6

The average resolution of the household TV didn't increase for over 50 years until now. And even that is too much for many people to notice, as many people are running SD content on their HDTVs.

Closed for good? You aren't really familiar with this "Internet" thing, are you?
