How can we tell that revenue is diverted from the genuine producer?
I want a Bugatti Veyron, but as i am a peasant, I have a fifteen year old ford escort 1100. What if Bugatti come after me for the revenue diverted from them? will they demand the £350 that I paid for the ford, or the £1,000,000 that i would have paid for the veyron?
As a clueless user, I can see and measure a programme's 'snappiness' and 'crashitude', what i cannot see and measure is the difference between mediocre and super-gorgeous font _choices_ ( emphasis on choices, i see the differences between fonts but not what makes one so much more amazingly appropriate than the other ) let alone the swirly-swoopy-stylised logo versus a slightly different swirly-swoopy-stylised logo.
I have never looked at a company's banner/logo/header/whatever and felt a pang of discomfort or a warm swell of reassurance, I usually just think 'why have they wasted all that space around it instead of putting in useful information?
..they can design visuals that direct the eye to the right place, evoke the right emotions, and have lasting impact. Most people cannot consciously distinguish between visuals that have those properties and those that do not
Maybe it is my inbuilt distaste for duhsigners, but that sounds very similar to The Emperor's New Clothes.
For what it's worth, although not used often, I have heard (and read) it used here in the U.K. I never associated it with the term 'nigger', like when I hear 'catalyst', I don't think of felines. It doesn't seem to make sense that the word derives from 'nigger', unless 'niggard' is a word used often somewhere.
According to the back of this envelope, a.20 gauge shotgun would have a bore of 3.7 inches in order to fire its 5 pounds of lead. Definitely shoulder damage!
The stupid pirate party and the stupid Swedish government have just handed a huge propaganda victory to the RIAA. Within a week the entire swedish economy will have ground to a halt and terrorists will be overrunning sweden and building WMDs! Then the RIAA will say "We told you so! Look what happens when ordinary people are allowed freedom!"
You know how Teh Eevil Terrarists were going to crash every aircraft in the world into New York, but the gov spent $90 gazillion on Homeland Security and prevented it?
And how Evil Sadam Husane was going to obliterate the west with his Nucular warheads, but the gov spent $90 gazillion on some wars and prevented it?
Maybe, just maybe, if Teh CybarWar Dept was to pay its warriors at a higher rate than bankers and lawyers get, smart people would be clamouring to demonstrate their skillz ( in cybercombat against the existing warriors for control of mock-up systems ) and get a job. And it might cost less than $90 gazillion.
Yeah, I believe that your instructions allow one to choose from a list of refresh rates. The problem was more how to alter that list to remove the highest values. The game in question tries to use the highest available refresh rate that windows reports, one needs to alter the values windows reports if those higher refresh rates are not actually supported by the monitor.
If the hit list has been removed, how can I check if i or an area i may plan to visit are on it? If the IED handy-dandy guide is gone, how do i know what to look out for while i am out paying taxes and abiding laws?
Thanks, faceless secret police goons, for making me less safe while wasting my tax money.
This should be a non-issue. All slashdotters will, by appropriate forming of the brim and crown, simply ensure the aerial's gain is enhanced when the phone touches their tinfoil-clad heads.

Just press the Turbo button. Duh!
One wit(l/n)ess said "The chute was a pretty shade of rogue, and it slowed down like a sports car hitting the breaks!"
Truth?
Justice?

Where are these dumpsters? I haven't got anything good out of a skip for literally years, despite rummaging through every one i find.

Duh! Rich people can afford lawyers who will get photoshopped or suspected photoshopped pictures thrown out of court. Fuck poor people.
I am all for more focused ads. I dream of the day i will get an advert for something i will actually buy.

Guys, our porches and fancy holidays are in danger! Some hack company has figured out a cheaper way to supply the emperor with his new clothes!

Being an old git, fifty caliber, 303 caliber and 22 caliber make sense to me and I just imply the decimal point. :-)
What happens when the sensors break? The lack of readings will send every test subject straight to PHB school.

Regarding .22 ( ie 5.56mm )rifles, I thought they were standard for many countries? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.56x45mm_NATO
Would one airplane be enough to carry the coconut?

So, because I don't trust Apple, I should trust Apple's app to shut off the gps in Apple's hardware?
Oooo-kay!

I, for one,...
Thanks, I had not heard that one. They always call 0.001 inch a thou round here (UK). Not that they get used much any more.
Holy crap! That is some heavy-duty tape you have there!
