Yes, the fundamentals of global warming are pretty simple, which is why the computer models were able to so accurately predict the warming we've experienced for the last decade.
Politicians/ Talking Heads/ Mainstream Media traffic in lies, propaganda and demagoguery. to point lies, propaganda, and demagoguery back at the crap flingers is to merely use their own tactics against them
i am not aware of "a person to which I have a favorable bias" engaging in smears and vindictive hysterical FUD against people this person dislikes. but of course, that doesn't stop the likes of Politicians/ Talking Heads/ Mainstream Media from pointing smears and propaganda at people they dislike for ideological reasons having nothing whatsoever to do with the accusations they throw at people
that someone should point the same bullshit at them: exactly where is the hypocritical rule written that people who fling mud can't have mud flung at them?
Apple is locking this processor out because it is a market that by their own intention represents 0% of their business. They know that any installation that is running on these processors, is not a legitimate install, so why not block a processor to cut down on pirating? Now if the hackers who want the OS on this processor paid a license out of good faith, I wonder if Apple would be so quick to shut them down?
or so the expression goes. And it is absolutely 100% true. It basically comes down to this: those with excellent social skills will have far more opportunities in life than those with weak social skills. Jockdom tends to develop the social skills, Geekdom, not so much. This is why jocks seem to always be doing well for themselves, even when they're not the smartest, or even not smart at all.
Exactly my point. Instead of calling a spade a spade, ie a prison a prison, they now call it a "correctional facility". A correctional facility that features a death row, incidentally. But you didn't actually answer my question. Who decided, and when, that prisons weren't for incarceration, but instead were meant to reform criminals?
having been warned twice already that failure to abide by the law will result in a lengthy prison sentence, stealing bubble gum as the third offense would reveal a complete lack of any wisdom. This person has no risk assessment skills whatsoever, and is obviously a threat to his fellow citizens simply by the damage that he could do out of sheer stupidity. Lock him up for his own as well as everyone else's good.
don't care if long prison terms create nicely-behaved perfect citizens. Long prison terms keep poorly-behaved flawed citizens from F*ing with the nicely behaved perfect citizens. Where the hell did people get the notion that prison is meant to reform criminals? It's meant to keep them away from society for a set period of time. After that, they're given another chance to be a normal citizen. If they screw up again, they go back again, this time for longer. Human lifespan is finite. If they choose to spend most of theirs in a prison because they don't like the laws society has made, then so be it.
If you haven't learned to be a law abiding citizen after being punished twice already for breaking the law, then you should be spending a long time in prison for a third offense. Punishment for a fourth offense should be exile.
of the 6 netbooks we've sold with SSD's, two have been back in with failed drives. Both happened in less than a year, and were covered under warranty. One was an Asus netbook, the other an Acer.
maybe you didn't get the poster's point. They're wasting so much fish in the form of bycatch because they are FORCED to by stupid legislation that was originally designed to PROTECT fish livestocks.
yes, deleting the filters will get your drive working again, but it breaks the built-in burning feature in iTunes. A better solution is to track down the poorly implemented/unsigned driver hack that another program has installed and resolve it instead. If it can break iTunes, it can break other programs' signed drivers, as well as mess up future Windows upgrades and/or repairs. Direct CD is a perfect example, and many of the free burning utilities too. There's nothing more annoying than starting a repair install of XP only to have the optical drive disappear on reboot because of a poorly implemented optical driver hack.
It's not iTunes that does this. iTunes licensed Gear's ASPI drivers for burning support within Windows. The Gear drivers are Microsoft XP and Vista signed drivers that strictly adhere to Microsoft's rules. On a clean install of XP or Vista, iTunes and the Gear ASPI drivers work 100% of the time. However, many other programs that implement CD-burning without signed drivers can cause the Gear ASPI drivers to break.
You quoted $400-$500 as the price of the touchscreen feature. I pointed out they could be had for $100. If Apple wanted to integrate a touchscreen, it wouldn't cost $500 more. Therefore, the comparison is perfectly valid. Your price quotes are inaccurate. Since when do you compare a tower with a $150 monitor to a 24" all-in-one system? It's not a valid comparison. Please see my reply regarding the Dell XPS One 24" model for a head to head comparison.

a handful of emails? I take it you haven't actually studied any of the content that was released, have you?
Get your facts straight before you start preaching. Not all glaciers are melting.
"there used to be a glacier on Ngaurahoe* in the 50's, now there isn't"
Perhaps you were out of town when Ngaurahoe ERUPTED?

It's only obvious to those not drinking the kool-aid

yeah, California experiencing budget problems are proof that three strikes laws won't work.

cutting a politician off from the internet is like banning blind people from driving.

I think you meant "Microsoft follows their secret API's and unpublished guidelines", didn't you?

Well, they don't really need more than 640KB, it's just that ASCII Crysis isn't nearly as entertaining...

It's because John Hodgman is responsible for Microsoft's site.
