I call horseshit. I only care about the differences *I* can hear with the speakers/headphones *I* have. Isn't that the whole point? The shortcuts I can take without noticing a difference...
Probably not. But what are you going to do about it? After enough stink, there will likely be a class action suit. No one that has been wronged will get real resolution (maybe a coupon for a new D-link model router for their trouble!). The amount paid out by D-Link will be less than the profit they get from these things. Business as usual.
The only solution is to burn the place down or kill a few key people, then let them all know why. But no one is going to throw their life away on a bad router purchase.
Looking at the long-winded list of crap in this bottle of Centrum... there it is! "Less than.1% High Fructose Corn Syrup". Imagine what is in those flintstone vitamins. And the pudding? I am looking at Publix brand Double Chocolate pudding snack in my lunch. 2 Tablespoons, 4 servings.
The real trickery, just like the "fat free" label, companies DO NOT have to list ingredients below a certain percentage PER SERVING. Your loaf of bread likely has 16-24 servings in it. What do you honestly think the chances are that there is HFCS in there? Pretty bloody good (I can pretty much guarantee it). Especially since you probably don't see sugar listed on the ingredients in there, and one of those IS in there.
I am happy you lost that much weight, but that is by no means proof of your argument. At all. Especially when evidence to the contrary is right in front of my face, and everyone elses. I can always provide images of my proof... where is yours?
Yes and No. If it was ONLY behavioral, then the fatness of the general public would have been what it is today, 30 years ago... but it wasn't. We have a problem with High-Fructose corn syrup in EVERYTHING, including your vitamins. We have high fat foods able to claim they are "fat free" by making a two tablespoon cup of pudding "4 servings".
Now don't get me wrong. Most people can manage their weight fine by a little self control and a bit of exercise. But the eating habits we grew up with are all of a sudden inappropriate because of what food has become.
I don't think the resolution belongs as part of a health care plan. I do, however, believe that going back to using sugar, stopping misleading food labeling, and teaching better eating habits (not just the food pyramid) to the youngins can go quite far.
Think of the Govt. as akin to prison. There aren't just bad guys in prison, but whatever your story, you have to play the game to survive. You do favors. You get favors. You don't go into the shower alone. Don't piss off the wrong group, else you'll get raped and shanked.
Cutting federal spending will almost ALWAYS rock the boat of some large, buff, angry man in a cell very close to yours. Instead, the objective becomes to take advantage of the prison guards, instead of pissing off your fellow convicts.
Which in and of itself is not special, because there are oodles of people who had windows 3.1 floppies, so the inherent chances of said floppies existing somewhere are better than... say... Windows NT 4.0 Embedded. Try and find a copy of that. You won't. You can't. Because no one cared about it. No one bought it. No one remembers it. And now no one can.
Every time someone claims ANYTHING about water on mars, it always trails with "There could have been/should/would been life!". Find me a fossil and then we'll talk.
I realize English is hard for you, but you can usually use verbs as nouns, and nouns as verbs.
Sure, you are right, but that has nothing to do with the softness of my toilet paper. "Assembly" is a proper noun, specifying a specific language. "Assembler" is a generic noun, indicating any number of tools that can convert "Assembly" source code into compiled machine code. Both are nouns, regardless.
Look people. Quit equating "piracy" as in "Arrrgh, matey. Ye be walkin the plank!" with "piracy" as in "I downloaded the latest Adobe Photoshop without paying for it!". They are spelled the same, but they aren't the same word (you know, a homonym). Just like the "spam" you get in your email inbox is not a Hormel meat product. You are getting pissed off at your own misapprehension.
I know you think you are being some sort of wise ass, but I DO pay for it. What is your explanation now?
Also, one thing I forgot to mention in my original post. The time it takes to access an email is proportional to the number of messages in the current folder. And I have found that the search function doesn't include any new emails that arent at least a day old.
I've used Yahoo mail since pretty much day one since they have offered it. Needless to say, I get close to 50k spam messages a day. If my primary inbox (after sorting and spam filtering) gets over about 20k messages, the whole systems dies. I get error message after error message "An error has occurred. A technician will be notified.". Then maybe a day later I can actually log back into my mail and use it. But the problem comes back... and it has been this way for as long as I can remember.
I also have mail in my archives that goes back to 1997. If I access any of these, same problem as above. Be wary.
I'll add to this. No doubt the people reading this who have worked/are working tech support will likely balk at what we are saying, but just like the original poster, they are on the other side of the bridge and are angry because they think they shouldn't be there.
Fact of the matter is, this guy settled. Imagine someone who went to school and got a masters in some sort of engineering/drafting for bridges, but instead started his first job drawing caricatures at at a carnival. Imagine a PhD is psychology who decided out of school to "Watch my neighbors son on weeknights". Think about the PhD in some sort of super brain/heart/whatever surgery who took a job as a school nurse right out of school.
Sure. MAYBE these people CAN do what they went to school for, but taking such jobs right out of the gate tells me and others that you are incapable.

Not when you account for how many Monster cables you'd need
Nobody argues that creationism shouldn't be taught... just not taught in science class. Unlike evolution, creationism has no proof to show.
Just saying "wrong" gives you NO creditability.

Life isn't fair... but that is the game.
Patches are always welcome wertigon ;)
Yeah. You are welcome to write a patch. That doesn't mean Taco will even use it. Don't let his comment mislead you.

"assembler" is the tool, not the language.

Seriously... is your desk made of cardboard? My 24" CRT weights more than that.
You do realize that is the same twisted logic that caused a lot of the internet to be IE only?
99% of our your users already have IE so why make this work with Mozilla
Same trap. Just a different beast.

I was sure Rule #1 was "There are no women on the internet"
You can't just demand that something meet some arbitrary ideal.
Tell that to my wife.
humans should have the 'right' to switch it off
Unless you are going to pay my electric bill, you better not tell me I can't turn of JoJo the humungoid file server because he started dreaming.
Well, it's rather brutal here. Right now we are advising all our clients to put everything they've got into canned food and shotguns.
Solder? More like Duct Tape or it ain't worth saving.
