You've had AC's disabled for a while, eh? I only ever see a few frosty pisses or goatse's or whatever per discussion, and a lot more useless shit from people who've actually signed in.
You do realize that range of temperatures is from the low point at night to the high point during the day, right? I see nothing "impressive" about the range of temps. It looks like a perfectly normal forecast. Perhaps you're just not acquainted with how weather is predicted and reported?
I see you haven't used Android much. I've been able to dictate text in any app that used the keyboard since Android 2.1 released. So for almost 2 years now. As well as having the voice commands. Yes, the control of the phone is more simplistic with the voice commands on Android, but being able to dictate an email and such has been great on Android for a long time now.
I'm a professional software developer, but I can also manage clients, build things, grow food, play sports, and even bag groceries.
I will call anyone an idiot that has an opinion on something without taking at least a bit of work to get to actually understand what they're asking. Good users are a joy to work with, they listen to you when you speak about what you're an expert about. The idiot users are the ones that say shit like "It's just a button, it can't be that hard to add 'Search' to the app"
The iPhone locks you into Apple and only Apple... iTunes to do anything with your device, expensive proprietary cables, random removal of applications that don't meet their nebulous "standards"... not seeing how your inequivalence is valid.
Shouldn't it be the other way around...? Isn't that why Apple brought out the patent guns in the first place, because they thought Samsung was too much like them and they couldn't compete?
That's the weird thing... on Starcraft 2 (from the article), the jitter was more pronounced on the single chips than in the multi-GPU configurations. It's not that simple;)
There are certain markets where there's just no feasible way to compete with the entrenched players. If some company wanted to compete in GSM, they'd have to buy spectrum (oh, AT&T and various other providers own it all? And AT&T specifically owns all the world-standard GSM spectrum? And they don't want to sell? Too bad). On top of that, they'd be fighting against a company that could just drop their prices until the new rival runs out of cash, and then raise them back up. That's basically what monopolies do, and why we make monopolistic practices illegal.
You CANNOT go to other providers to GSM except in name only. They only "compete" as long as AT&T allows them to, and their calls will always have second-class status on AT&T's networks. That means if it gets busy, your phone is the first one to be cut off.
I'm guessing it's your ignorance coupled with your misplaced sense of superiority that makes you come across so stupid. Something like the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Logical arguments don't work against people like that. You need both emotional AND logical arguments. They both have their place. Very few people are androids, distancing emotion completely from logic.
That's not entirely true, though. Young children aren't vaccinated straight out of the gate... 9 infants below the age of vaccination died last year in California from Pertussis. Their parents may be completely responsible and were planning on getting their children vaccinated, but now they'll never have the chance.
The scientific method doesn't and cannot disprove anything. There's only the preponderance of evidence, or proof of a connection. That's it.
The classic example is the orbiting teapot... there's no way you can prove that there's not a teapot orbiting the sun between the orbits of mars and the earth. But you can be pretty damn sure there isn't one there by the preponderance of evidence and indicators. That is science in a nutshell.
There's the individual doctor, and there's the medical community. An individual doctor is just that... they're human, just like everyone else. They make mistakes. They have affairs. They don't recognize things.
Then there's the medical community, that is a science and evidence driven approach to medicine in the broad recommendations... the CDC recommends vaccines because they work, they work well, and there's virtually no risk when you look at the scale of a population.
Humans are not built to be able to understand risk like that. They only see immediate risk to themselves.
Poe's Law. I'm pretty sure he's joking, though... hit too many hot-button topics all in such a short space. Usually the space cadets that really believe that shit ramble on a lot more;)
Toxins are the best. Because it's some vague boogeyman that you can't "disprove". I mean, you're putting some parts of a disease into a person... of COURSE it's toxic! Hell, that's basically the point... introduce the immune system to a disease in a controlled manner. But people are stupid, selfish and unable to properly assess risk.
Seems that's a prevalent life philosophy any more... lots of people that are against health care and welfare, typically they've already got theirs. I'm not saying this current administration is doing even close to everything right, but most of the arguments against a lot of the public-health initiatives end up being "I've got mine, so screw everyone else"

Pretty sure you're violating the license by doing that... the extension pack is only free for personal use. Not business use.

Not really. The only ripping I've had that is pretty solid is AnyDVDHD, and that's Windows-only AFAIK.
Yes, let's get rid of the last vestiges of our "ownership" of any kind of media.

Because it's cheap and easy!

I wish I could mod this up ;)
Whoosh
Used to be. A couple years back they changed all that, it's actually halfway decent for non-specialty pizza any more.

See, that's a personal choice and significant personal risk issue, not a crowd incitement or communication problem. False analogy man is false.
So someone who shouts "fire!" in a crowded theater is completely absolved of any responsibility in the ensuing stampede, injuries and possible deaths?
Because that's what Jenny McCarthy is doing.

It's a bit dated. He lost his license: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8700611.stm
Except for the cases of whooping cough that kill infants too young to be vaccinated...
