Prerequisite: the team must be equipped with powertools to cut through the red tape.
Ladies and Gentleman: May I suggest this little beauty? I'd suggest a pack of 'demolition blades' to go along with it. Qualifies for free shipping! What's not to like?
What did you do this morning? Spill some Reality Distortion Shield in your coffee? Apple (which may or may not use 'small teams of excellent designers and programmers) pushes out stuff that is buggy as hell. Anybody with half a brain and a reasonable grip on reality doesn't buy any Apple product until version 2 or, better yet 3. What Apple does it that it concentrates it's folks on just a few items compared with the thousands of SKUs that Microsoft has to deal with. They don't have to cover the breadth of support issues that Microsoft does. Deprecating technologies really does work for them. They do seem to be better at limiting feature creep when compared to MS and clearly they have a smaller administrative chain to deal with.
But they're perfectly capable of coming out with impressively buggy products. I should know, I own a bunch of them.
Since this plant sits on the edge of the Japanese Current, Any thoughts on what 200,000 gals of this stuff per day will do to the Northern Pacific and Bering Sea fisheries?
Not much. It's a big, big, big (mindboggling big) ocean.
Perhaps. We just don't know how bad it was in those early hours. From what I've seen it was pretty freaking bad. Hard to fault people for not being able to McGuyver something under those conditions. Obviously, they will be faulted for letting those disastrous conditions happen in the first place but it had to be pretty much like a war zone.
Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
A bunch of naked guys running around with swords. Sounds like a great way to take over the world.
We're not talking about the little Honda generator sitting in your garage. These are big industrial diesels. And it wasn't just your typical bad day, it was right after the entire region was wiped out by an earthquake and tsunami. If they could indeed have found the proper generators, then they would have had to find a helicopter or two to carry them over there, then rig it up, then fuel it up. All on top of an enormous amount of local damage and confusion.
Really? Slashdot talks about 'important stuff' only? Hell, most of the submissions here are about things along one tiny edge or another of human endeavors. Linux? EFF? What Microsoft did or did not do last century?
While I agree in general that whether or not anyone ever gets another iPad pales in significance to issues around the tsunami, we've already beat that one up today. Don't take everything so seriously. You won't make it out alive.
So they put in in a menu item. I think the MacStore or whatever was linked to some software they were selling was there. So instead of a regular web page it shows up as an app. Evil, nasty. Might even cause Herpes.
You do realize that it's just an app. You can delete it, send it back to Steve or bury it in your backyard. I'm running 10.6.6 and I can't even recall what I did with it. Better ask the dog if he's seen it.
the transmitter may have high voltage amplifiers that may catch fire if left unattended.
TRANSMITTER: "Is it me or is it getting warm in here/"
ENGINEER: "Cut that out! Don't try that stunt again!"
TRANSMITTER: (Lights dim slightly) "OK, but just you wait!"
Good, and while all those NIMBYs are spouting off their uninformed opinions, I will be looking into burying a small reactor from toshiba in my back yard.
I do so want to see you go up to your Homeowner's Association with that plan. Could you post it on YouTube? Please?

No worse than others but not markedly better.
Oh and forgot the important part:

Nitwit. That would be like trying to 'mine' a junk yard with clorox.

Not such a trivial job.
To all of you gentleman (except, I think geekoid got it):
Whoosh (apparently the same meaning in Latin and English).

Don't be so limiting. Politicians also take credit cards, bullion, golf trips, Interns, chickens.... I guess I'll just stop here.
Hell, the bar is even lower than that.
Now, if only I could find where I put the answer booklet for members of congress...
It's in your wallet.

Take it to a Microsoft Store nearby and they will install a clean copy of Windows as long as your machine has the license code that it shipped with
A Microsoft Store? Son, you're just a tad confused.

Could happen, I suppose.
Nah, it's just him again.
Oh stop. This is very easy. No coding required:
Your gonna die.
Could do this in Visual Basic!
Too late. Everybody that's read "A Canticle for Leibowitz" is probably in the nursing home by now.

Ahh, this particular sarcophagus? Or did you have a better one in mind?
Ooh! Boiling radioactive water mixed with limestone particles and various dust!
