If my donations to Goodwill were destined only to line someone's pockets, I would quit donating used articles and instead destroy and discard them.
A better idea would be to scan your used stuff yourself, sell it online, and donate the proceeds to charity. This makes more money for the charity than donating the actual item would have anyway. The only downside is you don't get to scam the IRS by claiming that your old busted coffee table is worth $100.
How many apple stores are there? And how many of them have been robbed? The probability of this happening is far less than 25%, so... if you think spending that money is a good idea, you're welcome to play in my home poker game anytime.
And I'm not even considering the marketing loss associated with filling an apple store with a bunch of ugly-ass Kensington locks.
You know, if the RIAA had just used this approach from the beginning, instead of suing people at random, they could have avoided a ton of bad PR. Just another reason why Apple is smarter than other companies.
I agree in principle -- if I get $x an hour for 8 hours of my time, who cares if the employer's internal system considers this to be $x+whatever for 7.5 hours? Two possible problems though:
1. Minimum wage. The pay needs to be high enough so this doesn't turn into a way to pay people below minimum wage.
2. Overtime. With this system, it takes 2.5 more hours to start making time and a half. Unless everyone works at most 40 (real) hours a week, this will be a problem.
Saturday night at midnight, they're going to be re-releasing the original Battletoads (ie THE greatest NES game of all time) on the Wii. They signed an exclusivity deal with Gamestop, so be sure and call to reserve your copy before you go since they'll run out fast.
Fine, I'll just lie differently. As far as Nielsen is concerned, all I do after work is watch cool shows for 10 hours straight. And if anyone comes over and wants to watch Survivor, Nielsen will never hear about it.
I prefer a big screen to surf the web too (and single purpose devices in general) -- but I prefer even more strongly not to lug a 23 inch monitor, huge bulky camera, heavy duty flashlight, road atlas, PSP, golf club, deck of cards, and GPS receiver everywhere I go.
If I told you how I wrote that, it would prove I didn't post from an iphone. Speaking of phones, anyone tried the recorded headline service I'm blatantly advertising? It's actually kind of cool:-)
It's no wonder they tried so hard to keep this code hidden. I'm not even sure what this is supposed to do.

My natural reaction is to turn the radio off so it's easier to find the emergency vehicle.
AT&T needs to fix this wide, gaping hole that has been stretched open on their website before more iPad email addresses are exposed.

If people read things before commenting, then it wouldn't be Slashdot.

The people driving the bargain cars don't have extra money to waste on whatever they're selling in the spam.
Perhaps there was no way a Microsoft Assistant or a Microsoft Bob could be executed properly.
May I suggest the electric chair? Hanging? Lethal injection? Hard to imagine anything that wouldn't qualify as proper.

Back to the Future 2 & 3 for NES. Best game ever.
Excellent idea, that is, until it's your grandma or grandpa being hauled off to jail after being duped by a spammer.
RTFA, it uses premium unleaded gas.
If the world were really ending, why would you waste time calling your boss?
The warehouse must have a good union.

Just for this, if Nielsen ever asks to track my household television viewing, I'm going to feed them a pack of lies!
I guess this means they signed up their 16,777,216th subscriber.
"By contrast, the Moon is as old as it gets.""
So true. Even when John McCain was a kid, he could look up in the night sky and see the moon.

Finally some games coming out for the quantum computers. I can't wait to see what Alexey Pajitnov would have done with this hardware.
This post looks like someone dropped a physics textbook and all the words spilled out.
