Many cats will also eat some grass if given the chance. Eating too much will make them sick, but it seems that cats need a small amount of vegetation in their diets.
I'm surprised there aren't more people importing old Hyluxes once they hit the 25-year mark which makes it legal. I mean, for a Hylux, that's barely broken in.
Why is it always coal with you people? It's a 45% coal, 23% natural gas, 20% nuclear, and 7% hydro powered car. And as cleaner sources of power come online the "fuel" that the electric car uses will change with it, with absolutely no change to the vehicle itself as it doesn't care where the electricity comes from. Meanwhile, your gas powered car will be burning the same petroleum products from the day it leaves the factory to the day it hits the scrap pile.
You still generally have to disassemble the whole thing to get to the drive, a process that can involve dozens of screws. And that's assuming it's not one of the SSDI models where the flash chips are soldered directly to the mainboard. Whereas on most PC laptops, you can remove the drive with 1-2 screws in under a minute.
Maybe you are blissfully unaware that iOS is not UNIX(tm)? And given the lack of attention that Apple has been giving its computer business, OS X is going to be on the decline real soon.
There's no technical reason why not, but it's unlikely the studios would allow it. Part of the reason for the switch to digital distribution is DRM which they think will reduce the piracy of new films. I seriously doubt it, but that's what they believe.
At the very least, I would think they would make some 35mm prints of films that have been out for a few months to distribute to the second-run theatres so they can hold off upgrading, but then again those theatres probably don't make the MPAA much money so I doubt they care too much about them.
The vast majority of automatics put the shifter in the center console nowadays, so you still have the same problem even if the car isn't a manual. It's really ridiculous because the transmission in modern cars is electronically controlled so they could easily replace the shifter with a set of buttons or a small lever on the dash. That would get rid of the need for the center console, which has actually been growing in size the past few years and invading the space where I'd normally place my shin/knee.
Incidentally, you could still order a Chevy Impala with front bench ("seating for six") and column shift transmission through the 2013 model year. That went away with the 2014 redesign, and with it the passing of an era as far as I'm aware no other car is available with a front bench seat (trucks excluded).
It would pay us back with clean electricity and not having snow and ice on the freeways that have to be plowed during the winter. Better than paying us paid back by looting our retirement accounts I suppose.
Actually, you can't on most of them. Windows 8 requires that the CPU supports the NX bit, which excludes most P4's except some of the later models that are on LGA775. This was actually a change Microsoft made pretty late so you could install the Betas on an old Socket 478 P4 but the release won't run. You could, however, install Windows 7 on your old P4 and still enjoy updates from Microsoft for the next 7 years.
That stopped being true a few years back, at least as far as hard drives are concerned. They've managed about a 4x increase in size of the largest drives available in the past 5 years, going from 1TB in 2008 to the 4TB drives dribbling out to the market now. I'm back to replacing drives now simply because they are too old (5-7+ years), not because they are too small.
That's what the manufacturers claim. Well, you should also see the claims they put on their hard drives versus reality.
Experience has shown that SSDs seem to have more problems. Oftentimes, it's not the flash media itself but the controller and the drive's firmware that causes all the problems.
The manufacturers are required by law to support vehicles they sell for at least 10 years, so a 2006 model should have no problems getting service. And in practice you can usually still get a car serviced by the dealer well after 10 years.
I dunno, some of those systems set up in the 60's and 70's must have been pretty well done. Considering that many of them have been running for decades, continuing to doing their jobs with little fuss, while attempts to replace them have pretty much turned into expensive debacles.
Most are designed so you'll pretty end up destroying the case while trying to prying it apart while attempting to get to the battery. They are also designed so that they always run off the battery while shaving, even if they are plugged into the wall (the power adapter only charges the battery while not in use) so the battery will still wear out and force you to buy a new one even if you never unplug it. And pretty much all of them they sell, even the cheapest of the cheap models, now have a battery. It's really a sham, worse than Apple when it comes to planned obsolesce.
DVI can drive 2560x1600 just fine. But why do I have to buy a massive 30" screen to get that kind of resolution? It'd much rather have that in a 20" panel that actually fits on my desk. And 1920x1080 would be just fine... in a 13" screen.

Well here's the possible results of the fallout from 500+ nuke tests on your health:
1. Good for you.
2. No effect.
3. Bad for you.
It may be bad for you, or it may very well have no effect. But I'm pretty damn sure it's not good for you.

So if 7% is "HUGE", then what words do you use to describe Windows' marketshare?
That's why I gave up on Time when Osama Bin Laden *wasn't* person of the year in 2001.

Not a bad idea, but if you're going to play games with words that way, I would first read the employee handbook VERY carefully.

If your goal is to run Windows and/or Linux, you'd save a lot of money by not buying a Mac.

That can be a bit tougher to do with a laptop, thought with some like my Thinkpad, you can replace the optical drive with a second 2.5" drive bay.

Unless they are older models, in which case you'll find Windows 98 on them.
Does Blockbuster not stock DVD releases of television shows?

Yes, they'll tell you to buy a cable package that includes HBO. This is Corncast you're dealing with here.
You mean like Whonix?
