Maybe google is blocked by microsoft's corporate firewall, an "eat your own dogfood" policy, and as such none of the QA testers (I'm sure they have one or two) would have noticed the problem anyway.
Back when I still bought microsoft software, if you wanted to upgrade you'd buy the upgrade version, format your HD and install the full version you borrowed from a friend. It was the only way to get a working product. Win 3.1 to win 95(b or c because a was the suck), 95 to 98(SE because 98 plain also sucked), and from 98 to XP(pro because, well, you know).
OK, it wasn't the only way to get a working product: 1) you could buy the full version every time, but you already had the prerequisite license, so why buy full when an upgrade SHOULD have given you a working product. 2) it wasn't the year of Linux on the desktop yet, and it was before OS X 10.2 was released.
now THAT would be cool. probably prohibitively expensive, though. I don't mean an actual OLED HDTV the size of your wall (yet) I just mean ambient lighting via OLED. I'd do all my ceilings with soft white, and use spot lighting or individual lamps for reading or accents.
IANAD but I believe allergies involve a different immune response mechanism involving mast cells and histamines. But you do raise a good point, would this approach be useful in treating other autoimmune diseases like lupus or MS?
in Czech the standard verb for "to work" is "pracovat, or more generically, "delat"...which is the same as in Russian."
I wonder, is this the origin of the invocation "prikazyvat" in Larry Niven's "Integral Trees" where users signal the voice-activated computer that the next phrase is a command or query? The word is supposedly of Russian origin
With all the resources at Microsoft's disposal, you'd have thought that they'd have come up with a specific fix. Yes, I'm aware that regularly-patched machines are better protected, but the evidence is clear that many people don't do that; (and not just the pirates, either).
How about if Microsoft would mod the "malicious software removal tool" to patch only the vulnerabilities that any removed malware exploited?
benefit 1: that installation will no longer be vulnerable to that particular infection, in spite of the fact that the user disabled automatic updates.
benefit 2a: the user will not be able to scream "ZOMG M$ forcing software on MY computar! That is MY BOX, I choose teh softwareZ!" (I'm not fluid in tard-speak, obviously. Also, it is apparently OK for malware writers to put software on tards' computers automagically, but not Microsoft.)
benefit 2b: unpatched vulnerabilities will NOT be patched (until next attack) in case the patch actually breaks something, or more likely the user fears the patch will break something (yes I know first round patches sometimes DO break stuff. I use OS X after all--never patch the first week). See benefit 2a for tard reactions.
I don't see the downside to this scenario. Anyone?
blank achievements count as 1; integer score achievements count at face value; exponential score achievements count as the exponent+1, because those begin at 2^0.
As you surmised, C.Taco pads his out by stuffing as many points as needed in "the cheater." He'd still be 38 to your 25 (and my 13) without cheating.
The MG was something I *could* fix. Not so, my current 2007 Marshmallow!
My 2000 VW diesel is something I *can* fix. Your Marshmallow is probably as fixable, but you need to do the cost-benefit analysis on the tools needed (on a per-repair basis) vs. how much it costs to pay someone else. "But everything is computerized now" I hear people complain. That is true, but that computer is something that will not need to be replaced or 'tuned up' (except for the ricers out there) for the life of the car, and a tool or software to interact with that computer costs less than $500. Everything else is as mechanical as you remember it, it's just crammed in there more tightly.
Consider what finally drove me over the edge: $200 for the tools and $80 for parts to replace a wheel bearing, vs. $300 to have it done when it fails once (sometimes twice) a year. $300 for the tools and $100 in parts to replace the timing belt vs. $500+ to have it done every 80K miles (I have 250K on this car). $600 for a new clutch vs. $1300 to have it replaced for me. Use the savings to get _good_ tools. And something pretty for the little woman.

If anyone could drag a Shakespearian plot out for 17 plays, Hamlet could do it. Or at least think about doing it or not doing it for 17 plays before being forced into action when the Globe burns down.
Fire the busboys and have the unused servers bus tables. The bottom line is that you ultimately have to increase patron traffic if you want your business to thrive. Have you considered businessman's lunch specials? Really hot hostesses? Maybe your cook sucks? Change your menu.

I'm as surprised as he. I still can't believe it. It won't be real for me until Taco posts the dupe here on /.
Note that I'm not exaggerating: it takes a good half hour to drive around the antenna.
I had a car like that once.

I was studying a broad last year and got slapped with a restraining order. I narrowly avoided an indictment for stalking. Be careful, my friend.
I used to give a guy a lift to work, but he never once gave me a penny towards it, even though I asked. So I stopped doing it.
So how is your son getting to work now? Did he ever get that camero in your front yard working? Or did he just quit his job?
