It seems hardly a day goes by without seeing yet another example of Microsoft's utter disregard for the needs and desires of virtually every market -- consumer, enterprise, and OEM
What amazes me is that there isn't more of an awareness of (and outcry about) Vista's crap factor on the consumer level, or that business isn't more forceful with Microsoft about the issue. People just seem to accept it.
Recently, studiVZ was criticized for the provocative contents of a campaign of viral videos. Reportedly, one of three particular videos, for example, shows a gang that murders a vegetarian and feeds him to pigs.
This is all interesting. But what are the net benefits to mankind from the expansion of billions of dollars in Mar exploration? Was there water? Is there water? So what? Does any of this help address any of the many serious problems facing us here on Earth? Will we ever colonize Mars? Will a manned visit to Mars help societies problems in any way? Nope...
According to a local story he was discharged without conviction because he didn't show criminal intent, rather he was he motivated by proving his abilities
So it's OK to break the law as long as it's only to see if I can get away with it?
I figured they arranged for something like this years ago.
They didn't need it until recently because until recently very few people were allowed to even have Internet (or cell phones or many types of things that allow people to communicate with the outside world).
Remember this is Cuba we're talking about, not some free Socialist utopia...
The 1700 foot number comes from a point across Gilbert Inlet, facing the slide. The rest of the depth (height?) measurements are in the 200 foot and less range. Very misleading "write=up", but quite in keeping with Slashdot "editing" standards.
So the big question should be: Why are they sending it commands that could damage it? It's all good and well that it has some safty stops, but most machines do.
Nonsense. I scanned and edited (and destroyed the original image in accordance with Treasury rules that allow this) a $100 bill in Photoshop for a project I was working on, worked quite fine.
Yes, but this is all the signs of a *very good* AstroTurf, so good, you don't even realise that this is what's going on. It's "positive" Microsoft PR, and that's what couts. Oh, and it's *even better* that they used Python. But in the end, it's still MS PR babble, and you all swallowed it HOOK LINE AND SINKER.
Microsoft is learning... And learning good, they have the jaded Slashdot crowd SNOWED!
Oh, come off it... there was no reasonable doubt. Doubt that isn't reasonable isn't sufficient to let him walk, and the *jury* - not the prosecutor - got it right.
What's interesting is comparing the comments in this thread with pre-body, both pre and post conviction. The vast majority here felt that the murderer Reiser was being "railroaded" and there was reasonable explanations for everything and that it was perfectly believable that his wife had fled to Russia, and so on... Now it seems the majority have always thought he was guilty as Hell? Good grief!
Also, I keep hearing he made a deal for 15 years? Not so. It's 15 years to life . What this means is that MAYBE he gets out in 15, but he'll spend AT LEAST 15.
As for Radio Shack - I'm pretty sure that the government is propping them up...
CIA front. Didn't you know that's where all the terrorists buy their bomb parts? Why do you think they insist on such detailed contact info for a $1.50 purchase?
You have a point. Have a lookie-see at the Google Earth or Microsloth Bird's Eye, most of the buildings around the original Stately Home are dull government boxes. Save the main building, yes. The crap-shacks can go.

I was looking at alternatives to AVG because of this. Good to know I don't have to keep looking.
Maybe you should keep looking. A company in the business that AVG is in should have seen this coming, what makes you think more of the same "quality" is not in the future? It shows a serious lack of foresight for a company that should have top-drawer management and programmers considering their business. Frankly, this kind of crap reflects badly on what consumers should assume for the quality of their product.

Yes, American politician and TV pundits, there is an excess of them...
What about a helium shortage?
Aperently, Elements doesn't have it. I've done it in Photoshop 6 as well as Elements.

If they like being laughingstocks, that's no skin off my nose.Dude, it's Louisiana.

If meetings where more interesting and actually valuable, people would not be so inclined to >i>playing solitaire during them.

Doesn't Microsoft employ "bloggers" to seed pro MS babble to Web sites like Slashdot? Just sayin' ...
Nina got in the way of Hans' incredibly HUGE ego. It's that simple, very little "pop" psychology needed.
