When christianity was around 1500 years old you had the spainish inquisition, Slavery was considered good, Witch trials that killed by with toture and the christians brought a whole continent into slavery (South America).
Guess How old Islam is right now?
It is only two data points, but religions that demand you must believe and all others are to be killed is the problem. All three religions based on the teachings of Moses have this problem.
Oh you forgot, we need to be the first so screw fact checking by calling the police dept to see if they actually arrested any one and just run the story that they did arrest someone based on unconfirmed rumor.
I live on the east coast and routinely drive 5 hours at a stretch. My parents are 5 hours and just under 300 miles away. I can do it in one tank of gas easy.
I have gone as long 6 hours before stopping to stretch. After that the car usually needs gas anyways.
Um have you ever even touched a real gun let alone shoot one?
Hitting a moving target 400' with a slug(rifle, pistol shotgun) is very difficult. Shooting 400' UP is damn near impossible. Hitting a smaller target is far harder than a large one. That bird is 20-30% smaller than a human(Hitting it in the wing once won't bring it down unless your lucky. Only going through the electronics or battery pack will cause a lethal hit.
Now bird shot which can take down birds(and these planes) has an effective range of less than 100'
Sure guns can range hundreds of yards accurately. but the shooter the man hold the gun is normally only good for 1-2 hundred yards at man sized targets.
I don't know about you but even most drug dealers don't carry around portable radar units, Portable radio tracking units, etc. that can cover all bands.
The Military uses fixed location or large airplanes to do that. If you have a man or even car portable unit the Military is interested in funding further development.
At 400' shooting down a bird flying with anything but a missile is damn near impossible.
The best portable way would be modified version of something like the XM-25 delayed explosive, grenade launcher. that would be as close to a portable flax cannon as you can get.
Also at 400' you have to be able to spot the thing. Drones that size are all but a small dot in a very big sky. Made of wood, fiberglass, and carbon they have next to nothing for radar return.
No Itunes 11 is the best itunes since itunes 3 or 4.
Itunes is three distinct products trying to be merged. Itunes Store, iTunes Media player, and Idevice Sync. If the the idevice Sync, and Itunes store where separate from the media player it would be a far better product.
MSFT is still worth billions. that adds 5 years by itself. Just look at Dell. Just trying to go private(smart move long term) has the investor sharks circling to get a piece of the pie, This is going to extend dell going Private by at least a year, and if they manage to stop it the sharks will bleed Dell dry.
No MSFT going down won't be quiet or quick. It will be a mob of investors trying to force all the cash and other holdings to be sold and/or given to them while things get even worse. Personally I expect Ballmer to try and save the sinking ship not realizing all the other rats have left him behind.
You are quite correct. The problem is that those loans were granted to the very group of people who think those who get any help from the government are a leach on society. The people who accepted those loans are the same group that would cut Social security , food stamps, medicare, and every environmental law right out so they could save money for themselves.
relatively speaking all boats are slow moving in comparison to even the slowest of planes. Remember a plane flying a a sedate 130mph is twice as fast as some of the faster boats.
I know people in cities who can't get stable connections because of rain, old lines etc.
Even cable blocks out. It doesn't take much to screw up an always on requirement. It is one of the reasons why i don't play those games. My internet is fine for most of the time but a small stutter will force a webpage to reload but will kick you out of a game.
Exactly, this issue was a bad battery design, a design not even done by boeing. If they replaced it with a standard lead acid it would have been flying already. The problem is the extra weight by multiple larger heavier batteries. So they fixed this version. Being the design it is it wull probably have future issues but the plane itself is safe. You dont think your laptop or tablet is going to catch fire do you. But that has happened too.
It isn't losing it for days at. A time but for an hour here and 20 minutes there.
At my previous job we required an always on connection to the database server in one city. There where 7 client locations that had to maintain connection to that server during business hours or that location couldn't do anything.
At least once a week one of the seven locations failed for more than 30 minutes. Time Warner business class reliability.
Now I am talking about cities in NY state. Not farm county but areas with over 100,000 people. Dropping Internet regularly.
Well google came out with android and that is eating windows RT's breakfast lunch and dinner.
Tablets have a place between laptops and phones. Windows RT was MSFT's answer to the high power high battery drain of intel chips. It is failing because it has all the headaches of windows and none of the usefulness(Windows RT can't run standard windows applications.)
As for chasing the masses, it is exactly that allows companies to do things like sell it for less.
Take an android tablet or an ipad and compare it in price to Windows RT machines. The difference is mass market. One has it and one really doesn't.
I don't blame MSFT for trying. I blame MSFT for failing to change enough to actually be able to compete.
Instead of chromebooks why not run a Android gain a touch screen screen and add a bluetooth keyboard and be done with it.
when chromebook concept first came out it was good. it just took 3 years longer to get to the market than it should have and android tablet can beat it in every way.
1:) if the authorities waited until after you commit a crime then people complain that they should have stopped it. if the USA had definite proof of the September 11th attacks and knew who want where and when but the perpetrators hadn't committed an actual crime until they hijacked the planes, at what point should they have been stopped? after hijacking the planes? how about after they flew them into the buildings?
2:)Organizations that protest the government are generally the ones that might shift into violence and actually try it. You can't watch everyone all the time so you watch the ones that are most likely to do something. It is a relatively short jump from peaceful protest to full on riot. you already have the people in place, and have them angry about something. all you need is the right spark to set them off.
It wont be a quick slide but it will be a slow steady slide down steve jobs made the whole package. No other company can do that and be competitive. Just look at RIM, Palm, etc.
but once a year I fire up a current email client and download everything archived. I also purge the archive every couple of years of truly useless emails.
If company A in State A sells something to person, or company B in State B there is no sales tax charged or collected.
As long as your shipping product to the distant state and it isn't picked up locally the transaction has occurred in between states and no sales tax is charged.
The exception is when Company A has physical holdings in State B then they must charge That area of state B's tax rate.
Every county, Every City and the State itself at least as far as NY goes has a different sales tax rate. You can save money by driving across the county border and doing your shopping.

I would like to make a partial counter.

The only thing to really say is.
"And nothing of value was lost."
EA is worth billions. The answer is yes.
If your worth billions then your too big to ever fail and deserve free government money so you can pay out contracted bonuses to your managers.

the real question is which could shoot better Storm troopers or Mousketeers?

Two points.
1 :) if the authorities waited until after you commit a crime then people complain that they should have stopped it. if the USA had definite proof of the September 11th attacks and knew who want where and when but the perpetrators hadn't committed an actual crime until they hijacked the planes, at what point should they have been stopped? after hijacking the planes? how about after they flew them into the buildings?

Apple will end up like them.
That's why I do both.
for every day I use gmail
but once a year I fire up a current email client and download everything archived. I also purge the archive every couple of years of truly useless emails.
I keep a a copy for safety and away I go.
Yea but you get a free dishwasher, and clothes washer too.
My expereince with USPS is that it can lose anything all the time.
My grandmother and mother once sent me birthday cards on the same day from the same post office.
One arrived 2 days later as it should have, the other took 3 weeks. They used the same labels for the address.
the USPS sucks period. try using their tracking system. it only provides updates after the package has been delivered.
whose sales tax do you collect?
If company A in State A sells something to person, or company B in State B there is no sales tax charged or collected.
As long as your shipping product to the distant state and it isn't picked up locally the transaction has occurred in between states and no sales tax is charged.
