When I felt the shaking, I glared at my coworker in the next cube, thinking he was stomping the floor. But he looked perplexed and the shaking was still going. Everyone was saying "Earthquake" so I went to Twitter and searched for "earthquake". Sure enough, there were tons of tweets on the topic.
All you got out of that review is the fact that they decided to use Mac OS X to do the RAID?
I fail to see how it can be classified as zealotry, at any rate. It's not like they said that Linux sucks or anything. Here. Let me click my jolly, candy-like button and see how fast my knee can jerk to your bait.
Whoa, there fella. Why not take a deep breath and count to 10? It's only spam if you didn't ask for it. If Yahoo! has sent an e-mail to your military e-mail account, the most likely reason is that you've listed that address as an alternate e-mail address in your Yahoo! preferences. Take that out, and they won't have an excuse. Yahoo! itself can send whatever it likes to your Yahoo! account, though. Just like my company sends out all-employee bulletins for planned system outages, policy changes, and company events. And just like my users at work, I'd much rather Yahoo! send me notices about changes before they happen than not send me anything at all.
Product placement doesn't bother me as long as it integrates well into the story. Look around you. The majority of us buy brand-name items. Why shouldn't our fictional characters enjoy the same luxuries?
So go hop in your Ford Focus, drive down to the 7-11 and pick up a case of Coca-cola. Then go back home, pop some Orville Reddenbacher popcorn, turn on your Zenith 32" TV and set your Tivo to record your favorite show.
I'm going to go down to Blockbuster to rent Return of the Killer Tomatoes.
"Now I'm going to have to buy a fleet of these, to replace our executives' Blackberries, so they won't get pissed off for losing the digital dick-sizing contest at the country club."
And since the Sidekick has a camera on it, they'll have pictures so they can prove who's got the biggest digital dick.
If you want to ever run for Congress, you need to start locally. Get into it on the ground level. Attend Town Hall meetings. Volunteer for local campaign offices - find a candidate that fit you best, but it doesn't have to be perfect. Just get involved. After a little while, run for some small local offices yourself. By the time you're old enough for Congress you'll have gained experience and a network of friends and political contacts. As for the money, you don't raise the money yourself; you convince other people to raise it for you.
The executives of my company donate a fair amount to charity. So do many of the employees. The executives tend to donate more because they have more to donate. That makes sense. Bill Gates may be ruthless when it comes to his company, but that doesn't mean he can't be charitable outside of Microsoft.
However, this is not a matter of charity. This involves Microsoft. They will give away copies of thier software for much the same reason that they didn't try to stop people from pirating Microsoft products early on. They need to establish a strong presence in the market.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that just because its executive donate to charity Microsoft as a company won't play hardball when it needs to.
Where exactly did you hear that? I've not heard anyone say that Apple's AAC files are set to expire. What would that accomplish, other than pissing people off?
Really, though, if you're so worried that your music will expire, at least you have the option to burn it onto a CD. As far as I know, CD audio has no time limit.
Lastly, there's no reason to be all gloom and doom about it. You said "when Apple's model fails" like it was a foregone conclusion. You shouldn't go through life being so negative all the time. Cheer up. You're bringing me down, man!
I think that's what he/she/it meant. The "Ala IE" was meant to denote Internet Explorer as an example of an "everything browser".
At first, though, I thought that Ala IE was the new Iraqi Information Minister, but then I figured it out.
Hate to break it to you, but Disney slapped its name on Spirited Away, thus making it a "Disney" film in the eyes of the critics and the Academy. I guess animated films can't get any Hollywood cred without the Disney seal of approval.
I saw Daredevil yesterday, and the LXG trailer was there. I'm a little put off by the "X". Last I checked, Extraordinary started with an "E". I don't expect this movie to to do all that well, but I'll probably see it simply because it's got Sean Connery. When I was in college, my friends in I came up with a scale of whoop-ass for actors. It involved how many cans, cases, or kegs of whoop-ass an actor could open. Sean Connery earned the top spot as the Epitome of all Whoop-ass.

Mordac isn't going to like this.
If we want to have password security, it would help to have password sanity.
