I had a type I error. It was an offer of employment from a company I was negotiating with. They were quite annoyed that it took me a week to check my spam box and reply. Google almost cost me a 6 digit contract... grrr
A group of friends and I went in on dedicated satellite bandwidth in Asia for a few years. It cost us around 4k/month USD for a T1-bandwidth connection, but it was well worth it for a group of 15 guys.
I wouldn't call most people in acadamia "brilliant" or "dedicated." I also wouldn't call firefighters, police, or servicemembers "unskilled," "unspecialized," or "society's lowest class."
Get out of here with your elitist bullshit, professor.
Why is it okay to raise the mile run time for women? Why not raise it for men as well? Obviously things like physical fitness are not important anymore.
Yes, but women aren't TRYING to get into science. It's a completely different problem. The military was actively discriminating against gays, but these institutions just aren't getting many applications from women at all.
The Mac Mini does not allow for user upgrades. Quoting the user manual:
"Your Mac mini doesn't have any user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open your Mac mini. If your Mac mini needs service, consult the service and support information that came with your computer for instructions about how to contact an Apple
Authorized Service Provider or Apple for service."
"If you open your Mac mini or install items, you risk damaging your equipment, and such damage isnâ(TM)t covered by the limited warranty on your Mac mini. "
For components on machines that are user-upgradable, any damage which could be even remotely attributed to the part or process during a consumer upgrade voids your warranty. That means if you upgrade your RAM, and the technician that touches your fried motherboard sees that RAM, you could lose your warranty even if the RAM isn't truly the cause. I'd link to the appropriate KB article for this, except Apple's site seems to be having issues at the moment.
Replacing your RAM with "Apple Certified" parts isn't the issue, and the method for doing that is on Apple's KB. Of course, we're obviously not talking about Apple Certified RAM if it's only $100.
EULAs are not carved in stone as the absolute law of the land. There have been an abundance of cases about them recently because they're controversial and not completely defined in terms of legality or enforceability.
Apple: I'm not going to sell you this software unless you agree to only run it on Genuine Apple hardware.
Customer: okay, I agree.
I think you got that out of order.
Salesperson: Here you go!
Customer: Thanks! (opens shrink wrap, starts install, reads EULA)
Customer: I want to return this opened product because I do not agree to the terms of the EULA.
Salesperson: fsck you.
I don't know, at that point it can be considered a case of cognitive dissonance rearing its head. "I spent a month's salary on this computer, and I'm not an idiot, so I must have made a good purchase decision!"
Your anecdote does not prove a thing other than "it sometimes works," which I concede. Mine directly contradicts your statement, severely diminishing your argument.
I didn't provide any dichotomy, making it quite challenging to pinpoint a false one. I said that Apple is a hardware company, and I said that because that is their primary revenue source. I didn't exclusively define "Hardware OR Software" as the only available choices. I just called it as I see it.
Really now? Because I've heard of and witnessed numerous incidents where Apple refused to honor the warranty on one of their products when a 3rd-party HDD or RAM (e.g., the $100 ones spoken of) is present.
Yes, but isn't that a case of the tail wagging the dog?
They make the vast majority of their profits from hardware sales, with a growing share attributed to iTunes royalties.

What does that matter? Ad hominem arguments are pretty meaningless.
Choices are what you don't get to make when your angry children choose your nursing home. Helloooo bedsores!
I'd say Mandarin, Hindi, English, Spanish, and Arabic, just to cover the big 5. Might want to throw Latin and Klingon in as well, just in case.

This post's parent is devoid of a clue.
Not central and southwest Asia.
The latency though... the latency is DEADLY!

Feminist: "I want to join the military! I'm just as good as you!"
Sergeant: "Okay, here you go, take this M16 and get in the foxhole."
Feminist: "Oh, NO! I'm a WOMAN! I can't fight in a foxhole! Give me a cushy desk job, you chauvinistic prick!"
So the answer is to set quotas which must be met by forcing unwilling women to fill the slots? I think not.
Yes, but women aren't TRYING to get into science. It's a completely different problem. The military was actively discriminating against gays, but these institutions just aren't getting many applications from women at all.
That's interesting, I didn't know that Apple was making such headway in business environments. Something new everyday, huh?

Like how that works?

Learn your fallacies.

You're the moron, fanboi.

And completely void your warranty! Awesome!
I love having a common name.
The problem arises when you don't WANT the proverbial all-leather interior with solid wood trim.
I would have bought a Mac years ago to at least familiarize myself with, if I could buy one for about the same price as an entry-level PC.
