Wal Mart has online photo "editing" if the changes you want to make are small. Similarly, most every other online photo printing service has something like this as well.
"What makes you think the authority to run an aimbot belongs in the hands of anyone except the owner of the computer? What makes you think that a trusted authority will behave any more responsibly than I would?"
It's not necessarily overselling. It could be oversimplification.
They may have enough total bandwidth for everyone to download 3GB/month, but set up so the "burst rate" is much higher a mere 10 kbps. Their customers could download an Ubuntu iso in a couple of hours, but only a few times over the course of a month. (but then again, how many times do you really need to download that iso during the month?)
So for typical usage it is indistinguishable from unlimited, a word itself that has come into the ISP world as a synonym for always-on. i.e. unlimited hours of operation.
Anyway, the whole situation is far too complicated to put on a billboard and expect people to read it and not die in a horrible 21 car pileup.
But there haven't been ten major versions of OSX at all. There have been 4 post-OS9 major versions. Which by any reasonable reckoning should put Macs at OSXIV or some other weird combination of "arabic" and roman numerals. The 10 clearly at one point was the iterator, and is what the 'X' stands for. Otherwise, it'd be pronounced "Oh ess ex." For some reason they've chosen to freeze it and use minor version numbers instead.
Mac version numbering is, at least, piecewise logical, which while inferior to linux kernel numbering, is certainly superior to pretty much everyone elses.
If it doesn't make a difference why did he try to stipulate it, then? It's up to him to be the reasonable one (if there really is no difference), the state is a mechanical entity.
Then you've missed the point of a hybrid. You could just buy a tiny car with poor acceleration and a low max speed and have great mileage. You won't even pay a lot for it.
But a lot of people want a heaver car for real or perceived safety reasons, good acceleration, and a price-tag they can brag about. Hybrids deliver on all counts.
Essentially, they electric part isn't good enough to run the car, but it is good enough to provide a performance boost to an otherwise underpowered engine. In some cases, that performance boost is superior to muscle cars of similar weight or expense.
As an added bonus, the extra complexity means that they will necessarily cost at least a little bit more than non-hybrid cars of their class, so they give people with too much money a way to lord it over their poorer friends, while feeling smug about it the whole time.
Just shut your carbon hole and buy your credits from Gore's company, then you can continue to pollute with impunity.
Or you can buy credits from me. I'm still working out a pricing schedule, and I won't actually do anything, but if you pay me enough money, I'll take responsibility for your carbon sinning. If everyone does that, then the world will be nearly pollution free, except for me, the most polluting person of all time, of course!
L1 is really far away (which means your mirror must be all that much larger), and is "unstable." A much better use of it is to leave it as clear as possible for spacecraft using the "interplanetary superhighway."
If you must build a giant mirror, a ribbon in any orbit small enough not to be rapidly perturbed by the moon would be more than sufficient, and much smaller in total surface area than a giant L1 disk.
The electricity that runs your PC is part of your cost to run the pc. If your PC was a little more efficient, you could spend that money on other PC-related projects, like more frequent upgrades or what not.
You assume that if the company did not have expenses that you don't see that they would just keep that money instead of increasing your real pay. This might be true if they were the only company to avoid those expenses, but in the real world, they are competing with other companies for your effort and your total cost of employment is the number they look at: no matter what your take-home pay, they cannot afford to spend more on you than the value you provide to the company under any circumstances.
Why? Does your company pay you just enough for you to eat? I you get a bonus, do they demand you to prove your cost of food went up or that you had a kid or something increasing your expenses?
If you are paid 22/hr, that does not mean it costs the company only 22/hr. Keep in mind the taxes they must pay, benefits, and the portion of social security 'they' pay for you. That is all also part of your compensation, and it is significant.
How many spreadsheets are in the basic Ubuntu repository? (not universe, non-free, multiverse, or whatever)
Ok, now how many are in the base repositories of the other major distros? I bet you'll find a few common faces...
And how many people use spreadsheets that aren't in the repositories?
What about compilers? What's that? not even intel's free compiler is in the repositories?
The repository system is like a two party political system: It enhances the front-runners and penalizes the trailers. If we're not careful, we'll end up with an even worse problem than Microsoft.
Yes, In the public experience, most fancy sports predictions have a history of being inaccurate. This is unlike the experience with climate models, which historically have also given us some predictions.
How does, "she probably has insurance" make it any less of a crime? It seems you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how insurance works. I'll give you a hint: It's not "free money from the sky," and the rates are not arbitrary.
You don't need to heat up an entire oven just for leftovers. A covered, non-stick pan on the range top will do fine for most things. A toaster-oven will work for most everything else.

So.. they made this decision right about the same time they decided to accounts and loans to illegal immigrants? Interesting...
"What makes you think the authority to run an aimbot belongs in the hands of anyone except the owner of the computer? What makes you think that a trusted authority will behave any more responsibly than I would?"
Counterstrike.
I'd rather they needed only a little software to boot.
That seems to be inline with my claim of piecewise logical. Unless you want to make the claim that the OSX revisions have been only minor changes.
Then you've never heard of APRS.

Didn't he use those cannons and marines to subjugate the Caribbean?
"I use both Macs and PCs and it seems like I buy and upgrade PCs a lot more often"
Well duh, for similarly spec'd equipment on identical budgets, I would estimate roughly 2x as often...

If enterprise isn't a warship, why does it have torpedoes, ray-guns, and a contingent of marines?
