I volunteer any member of Congress to go mano a mano with the virus. Friggin bunch of disorganized slime that they are, it might find some valid targets.
First off all, most of the people who hate Apple are right here on your favorite website. Not exactly Ferrari / Volvo / Mercedes big customers.
Second of all, lots of people like (or at least tolerate) the Apple brand. Makes more sense than Ford attaching themselves to Microsoft.....
I think it's a dumb idea (and I have a lot of Apple hardware and software). I like my cars like I like my women - simple, easy to fix and not associated with a lot of proprietary add on junk that will out date in a couple of years. Upgrades are hell.
They're supposed to just pop out of nowhere, break at least two physical laws and otherwise be incredibly unlikely. If they didn't do that, the other side would just make whole armies of them. RTFM.
What nobody seems to be pointing out is that having a program to build rockets that can boost payloads into low earth orbit and beyond is exactly the kind of technology one needs to develop ICBMs and tends to be a bit more politically correct.
The TFA had an answer for that - you would raise them with a flock of regular pigeons and move the aviaries around until they presumably figured out their 'natural' route, then release a few, capture the ones that figured it out and breed those.
Sounded pretty insane but a good way to get grant funding.
No, no you've got it all backwards. By the time they can make a whole bunch of hairy elephants (which is what they are doing, not making 'real' mammoths) Costa Rica will be a desert island, suitable for unhairy elephants but not denziens of the Northern Steppes.
Grow a beard and use the hoods. They're much more comfortable (and more expensive). If you are of the female persuasion either start injecting testosterone or tell the Mask Person that you're claustrophobic.
As nimblesquirrel has pointed out above, it's not all that hard to fit N95 type masks. It is hard to keep them at high efficiency, especially for particulates. A five o'clock shadow won't kill it, but stubble will.
N95 masks are not designed for critical exposures - they are a big compromise between fit, effectiveness and cost. You're supposed to toss them every shift, sooner for heavy dust / particular environments. Again, as nimblesquirrel states, there are different N95 masks and there are certainly different manufacturing quality levels.
Who knows where the average Chinese citizen is sourcing their masks. Probably from Golden Lucky Industries who gets the filter material from recycled fish head sludge.
No, it's not rocket science, but many people can't figure out how to size the mask by themselves. The typical error is to get one that is too large. You also can't use them if you have a beard so you have to use another type of mask (in the US where we have OSHA running around). At my hospital, we have one nurse who is the mask fitter. She went to some classes and has to do an occasional webinar but it's not like she has a degree in 'maskology'.

Whatever they do, make them take at least two semesters of non remedial English (assuming you are in the US).
Please.

But that's just me.
I've got a Mac with Windows 7, XP, KDE and OS X on it. No problemo.
Gets a little confusing at times but it's very useful.
Realistic boobs?
If you're an A-cup aficionado.
You don't understand secret weapons, do you?

You keep doing this and we're not going to have anything to complain about. Then what are we supposed to do?
Anyone expecting printed materials to survive environments typically found inside jet or rocket engines needs to be awfully patient.
G-spot? That's crazy talk.

This is how Anonymous Cowards think ....

Screw that. I want an excuse to buy an M60.
What? You think that herds of bad tempered hairy elephants can be stopped with tasers?
No, no you've got it all backwards. By the time they can make a whole bunch of hairy elephants (which is what they are doing, not making 'real' mammoths) Costa Rica will be a desert island, suitable for unhairy elephants but not denziens of the Northern Steppes.
Well my 14 year old niece thinks she knows everything.
That's true of almost anyone who screwed themselves up recently. So?
Slashdot is an inclusive community. If you are a fuck up, if you know of a fuck up and if technology is involved.
We'll be there.
Eventually, anyway.
wow, 5 years out, still blaming bush? You need to move on.
Blame Bush?
Hell, I still blame Reagan.
Not true. Water only causes rust if there's oxygen present. If there's no oxygen dissolved in the water, then you don't get rust.
Explain fish gills if you would, please.
Clean out your keyboard chucko. Those Dorito bits are messing things up again.
And the Red Bull; that stuff is dissolving your brain. Take it from someone experienced in these matters - switch to Dr. Pepper.

Nah, too proletariat - notice the companies that Apple has targeted. Ferrari, Volvo, Mercedes. Owners who are not terribly price sensitive.
No free lunch.
You must be a blast at parties....
