Now, depending on exactly how "compatible" the stuff being sold is, it could be that the seller is either committing fraud by claiming even compatibility, or committing some flavor of copyright infringement against Cisco...
It might be even extremely compatible, in that it might come from the same factory that just makes a few more units after fulfilling Cisco's order...
Now when it comes time to replace a head light, it will become a major spending decision!
Not really, you will still be able to have it done at a backyard shop or at home with unlicensed "just for off road use"-parts. Burning off parts of other people's retina is just a risk one has to take.
At least someone will come up with a great money saver like that. Probably the same people who let their 10 year old kids run around with 200mW lasers.
If we can get the Adult Industry to sell their.COMs and go to.XXX it would make an easier to manage Internet. Especially if you are searching for name of an old XWindows software you were looking for.
Not just old software, I have this problem constantly:
So you mean if I sell someone an axe, knowing that they will kill someone with it, I am somehow responsible?
Legally? It would be hard to prove, that you knew that they will kill someone with it. But if that could be established, in most countries you would be held responsible.
While many conclusions can be drawn from these two assertions, the obvious one is that observatories should actively recruit young, naive, nubile women to do all the night time work of taking the first look at all visual data.
Leela?
Fits your description (except the naive) and is genetically uniquely qualified for astronomy.
In terms of success, people skills are more useful than programming skills.
I completely agree with you. It's nice to see someone contribute to this discussion who is so clever and intelligent.
Clever, intelligent, and handsome -if I might say so.
What better way to get one train totally stopped, while startup up another? The solution to this problem is obvious, simply let an incoming train hit a parked one. [...] All you need to make it work is some very good bumpers and perhaps strengthening the hand-straps.
With old one-way WiFi, you had to send a packet, then eject the card, turn it around, and insert it the other way around to receive the reply.
Now before anyone tries this at home: You forgot to mention that this won't work unless you punch out a hole on the side of the sd card to change it from r/o to rw!
This is cancer treatment, but I agree: The ability to incorporate "logical" switches that react to markers in the DNA makes it suddenly possible to develop biological agents that are targeted towards specific subgroups of the human population.

If a truck comes over from Mexico, the TSA might want to check the container for counterfeit ice cubes, and doing so they might discover -much to their surprise- that the anonymous tip was wrong but that there are people hiding inside.
How could they have known? So sorry. But none of the irradiated people is pressing charges anyhow.
If I google "Rick Parry" the first two hits are correctly about Colbert. If I google with bing (hehe), Microsoft's not-too-much-information-engine, the first Colbert result is a third of the page down. Instead they talk about a guy I never heard about "Rick Perry"with an e. But someone else who is friends with that Perry guy might find that result to be the better one.
If I type in "cups" I probably look for the web-page of my printing system, and not for sippy cups. But with the +1 button all the young moms will ruin my search. This is "correcting results" by majority opinion. If you are looking for something specific, you won't find it anymore. If everyone is interested in Homer Simpson, the two people looking for the other Homer won't find anything. If there is a popular consumer item with the same name as some scientific term, good luck. Worse, sometimes I look for something technical and very specific, and the next day for a completely different item with the same name. What should I give +1?
It would help if the advanced search had a topic field: Cups, software vs Cups, kitchen vs Cups, sport
And paddling upstream on this underground river it will lead us to the lost underground city, a city filled with gold, a city called ElDorado.
No? Can we then have at least a movie about it? Or better yet: any investors willing to pay me, so I can go looking for it? (And then do a book, a documentary, and an action movie.) -I must admit "underground river" invokes more interesting connotations than "slow flowing aquifier"
They have probably figured out by now what web pages are the most popular according to time, demographic group, previous searches. Add a few shows from hulu and you can pretty much pre-seed the cache. Heck, give them a couple years and they'll send you the content a second before you click on it.
If the airline uses Android tablets, that means the airline is not doing well financially, which means they're probably cutting back on safety and comfort as
From now on, I will only fly with airlines that value their pilots high enough to buy them iPads. I also would not want to have my money at a bank that isn't all marble, oak, and crystal chandeliers. Banks that can't afford luxury interiors might not have the resources to invest my money responsibly.
Also make sure the pilot smells like Gin, so you can be sure you are with someone who is sophisticated and enjoys life .
Except this isn't about the benefits of banding together for the common good.
But that was all I was referring to by quoting the linked article. And the quote somehow insinuated that any kind of common good or selflessness that isn't directed to your own kin is linked to religion and doesn't make sense.
So, how does religion influence the behavior? According to the article:
An extreme example of this is when someone tends to the sick, risking infection and, at least in earlier times, death as a result—a behavior that doesn't make much sense from an evolutionary perspective, particularly if the sick person is not kin.
Behavior "that doesn't make much sense from an evolutionary perspective" What a bunch of hog-wash! It's as bad as the "Evolution did that so that.."- or "Nature wants us to.."-sentences. Nature doesn't want anything. Evolution is a theory of environmental adjustments by selection of favorable random mutations, not a replacement-religion or, worse, a replacement for social theory.
Unbeknown to some scientists, being expert in one field doesn't make you an expert in all related fields. This is like these arguments for the genetic programming of gender roles based on early cave society, where it later turned out that there is no archaeological evidence, but just backwards projected patriarchal bias.
With or without religion, I would much rather live in a community where I can rely on others and others can rely on me. Long term that might even be the favorable form of society.
A study looking at fake phone calls found that it is more than twice as likely that one of these 18- to 29-year-olds will be lying to you than a normal hardworking American, who still believes in God and the values that made this country great. Members of the Greatest Generation were found to be more than 15 times more honest than those ungrateful kids: "Only 2% of the oldest (65 and older) respondents reported using cell phones to avoid dealing with others." (Study also included some immigrants)
Besides refusing to get off the lawn, those 18- to 29-year-olds also seem to be the worst liars in generations. Unfortunately, the study did not look at any of the reasons, that caused the massive decline in values we all experience with those 18- to 29-year-olds.
On the other hand, bad product placement can ruin character development, for example, showing what is supposed to be a poor family having a top-of-the line Mac in their kitchen.

Are Ubuntu and Mac OSX "trash OSes" too because they have app stores?.
No, Ubuntu is a Trash OS because it forces a tablet GUI and similar misfit features on your desktop.
Ubuntu 11 that is, I am using 10.4

Yes, asshole

Now I know why the evangelists waited 70 years before writing it down.

It isn't broken.

Of course not, tilting the iPAd controls the aircraft's pitch and roll.

Can you spot a irony marker in my post? (Extra points for finding a movie quote and cookie-cutter racism).
And that goes double for the idiot who marked it troll. Mod points should not be given to people who can't pass a reading test!

Yep. That one ruined the Grapes of Wrath for me.
