Microsoft cannot stop the exodus. And it is only going to speed up once smart phone docking stations become ubiquitous.
My smart phone has almost as much horsepower as my PC. There's no reason in the world why I should not be able to hook up my IBM Model M, a mouse, and a couple of large monitors to it for the purposes of media creation. Once this happens commonly, it's all over for Microsoft.
She's not a permanent resident. You must get your green card before becoming a US citizen. The stuff they told you in citizenship class about living in the US for five years before coming a US citizen was a lie.
Folks outside of major metropolitan areas make a little less. She wanted to live in a rural environment for her health and took a trade-off.
Heh. When she was in China, she was dying. Literally dying from the pollution / environment. About 82 pounds when she came over and losing weight every year. Came to the United States to a rural university, living as a grad student without two cents to rub together, and still put on weight.
Pulled herself up by her bootstraps. And now she's likely to get kicked out.
My sister-in-law has been living in the United States for the past six years. She has a pair of masters in Mathematics and Economics and after graduation 2 years ago a good job, making about 50k a year. Yet she stands a decent chance of deportation because she is now in a lotto for the H1B. Why exactly are we kicking out people with masters degrees and good jobs?
This is insanity. She had a good portion of her schooling supplemented by the US Government. She is now paying taxes and is a law-abiding citizen. So they kick her out. Insanity.
How about we start by giving every masters' degree candidate an H1B and go from there? Rather than the inane 20000 then 65000 pool that exists today. Utterly inane.
I'm pleased that the Boston PD have a good, solid mission ahead of them. After all, you can only blow up so many Moonites before it just doesn't feel right any more.
I find the word petrol is the easiest way of creating a strong distinction between gasoline (a word some Americans simply associate with fuel) and diesel for conversation purposes.
Also, there is a growing tendency for convergence of the English dialect and the American dialect. I imagine it will only be another decade or three before there's virtually no difference between a London and New York accent.
There was a time in this country when if a thing was not illegal, then it was legal. It's amazing, I know, but it is true.
That is no longer the case. And we are all the worse for it.
We can start by ceasing to make guns illegal, repealing the prohibition on marijuana, and removing of some of the more onerous parts of the various ADAs and EPAs.
I am an American. I've got a diesel VW Jetta Sportwagen with about 50,000 miles. I'm getting about 44 MPG (combined city highway) during the summer, about 39 during the winter. I do not have large batteries that will need to be recycled or tossed into a landfill next year. My pollutants spewed per mile are lower than a petrol engine.
I previously had a Hyundai Elantra (a petrol car that is not bad on fuel consumption). When I bought the new diesel, my fuel bill dropped almost in half.
The pickup on my diesel is good. Very nice torque. I did make sure to put a nice bright yellow sticker on the outside of my gas tank cover stating Diesel Only. There's another provided by VW on the inside.
I would strongly recommend anyone to buy a diesel. They are great cars.
Oh, AC is absolutely correct. GLBA, which eliminated Glass Steigel, was the main contributor to the financial meltdown catastrophe. The banks that supported other banks now could engage in risky activity that previously they could not. Worse, the firms rating the various financial products were the same ones producing the financial products. It was and is a complete recipe for disaster. The sooner we bring Glass Steigel back, the safer all of us will be.
It wasn't ever about the amount of money in the various accounts. It was about the services these banks performed for other banks. If those large banks failed, then the credit card processing they did for other banks would fail. The check clearing they did for other banks would fail. The funds clearing they did for other banks would fail. The cash transport they did for other banks would fail.
Basically, it was not the customer business that was the issue. We let the Lehman Brothers and the Bears Stearns fail. But the banks that provided services to other banks were retained.
Is this regional, or nationwide? There's a lack of understanding in the western media about the Great Firewall. They treat it like a monolithic linksys router with which daddy can turn services on and off.
Control / censorship of the Internet in China is at the very least city by city, and probably ISP by ISP. The conversation we are having here is stupid bordering on moronic.
Those fuckers in Chicago pretty much fuck up everything they see. I had the misfortune of living in Cook County. The entirety of the county officials should all be put up against the wall and shot.
They've polluted the Illinois River enough. Now it's going into Lake Michigan.
I've got a 2011 diesel TDI stationwagen. In a combined city/highway/leadfoot, I average 40 mpg. On the Interstate, at about 55 MPG, I'm near 50mpg.
Plain and simple: petrol is dumb. Fossil fuels may not be great, but there's no reason to keep using petrol in the face of the superior MPG we get from diesel.

Them Englishmen aren't so big on justice either. For the country that really made the enlightenment a reality, the English have very strange notions about what constitutes a free society. Look at the atrocious mess they routinely make out of free speech cases. And then the anti-cosmopolitan mess that is English "justice". As an obvious example, the vile job done to Luis Suarez for using a word in a foreign language that happens to sound like a naughty English word. And even worse, look at the John Terry suspension (4 games for using obvious racially abusive language) in comparison to the Suarez suspension (8 games for speaking in a foreign language using a word that sounds like nigger). In England, the real, systematic, government and media supported racism is against immigrants. The FA and English newspapers make all good men ill.

For a sister or brother, the waiting period is about ten years.
But certainly, yes, marriage is the easy route. She's not an easy route kind of girl though. She wants to make her own way without relying on a man.
whoosh. A law-abiding student visa holder. Heh. You know what I meant.
Folks outside of major metropolitan areas make a little less. She wanted to live in a rural environment for her health and took a trade-off.

And here I thought it was because he was a shitty general bucking for political office who was rude to the sitting POTUS.
And that's why we have a constitutional republic.

More importantly, they are getting Dell tech support.
My condolences.

Uh... This goes in your mouth. This one goes in your ear. And this one goes in your butt.
Shit. Hang on a second.

In a story like this, pics or it didn't happen. This is difficult to believe but easily verified.
Because if we looked at patents, we would shortly thereafter look at copywrite. And that would offend the Mouse.

Ah. But what if it were called Hurricane Ditka?
Well, I suppose it's good that I intend to name my children Lemuel and Nephi.
