Calm down Zippy. In 2009, a federal appeals court in Washington ruled that the Office of Administration was not subject to the FOIA. So there's nothing to get your panties in a bind over.
"In 2009, a federal appeals court in Washington ruled that the Office of Administration was not subject to the FOIA, "because it performs only operational and administrative tasks in support of the president and his staff and therefore, under our precedent, lacks substantial independent authority."
The appeals court ruled that the White House was required to archive the e-mails, but not release them under the FOIA. Instead, White House e-mails must be released under the Presidential Records Act — but not until at least five years after the end of the administration."
You fail to remember that Microsoft *WAS* #1 in the mobile market. Apple and Google have moved beyond Microsoft, they best Microsoft could hope for was #3 by buying Nokia and eliminating the competition through acquisition.
Cortana blows and Android and iOS users are not going to switch.
That's the sad thing. Sadly politicians don't understand that. So the GOP wants to cut Social Security over some potential threat by Baby Boomers but Global Warming - which has far more dire consequences - they're willing to kick the can down the road. Nice.
"A key stumbling block in the effort to combat global warming has been the intimate link between greenhouse gas emissions and economic growth."
"The IEA suggested that decreasing use of coal in China — and upticks in renewable electricity generation there using solar, wind and hydropower — could have contributed to the reversal."
Hours of operation. People need to pay attention to that, not "this bulb will last x number of years." The life span of a bulb is measure in hours of operation, not years. From my own use - CFLs last longer than incandescent. I'm looking at LEDs and like some that I have seen. Warmer look to them.
Same here. Have a CFL in the garage, you know out in the cold, and it's going on 6 1/2 years. Might I suggest two things: the quality of the bulb and the light fixture; not all are equal in quality. I've had Philips incandescent crap out on me quickly but Sylvania last the typical life span. So quality of bulb is an consideration; that and your wiring. Lots of reasons why bulbs die quickly regardless of technology. All things being equal CFL or LED will last longer.
You mean Wagner. Tolkien ripped off Wagner's opera "The Ring of the Nibelung" which in turn was loosely based on characters from the Norse sagas and the Nibelungenlied.
LMOL, the world is not coming to an end Potsy. If you lived through the 80s/90s - when SAMPLING was in vogue - this was a common occurrence. As long as you give proper credit/royalties, there won't be an issue. The only time when it was a problem is when the artist refused to allow their work to be used. This was the case with the KLF when they heavily sampled Abba's Dancing Queen and when Apotheosis did a techno version of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana; both estates refused to allow the artists to use their works and thus they had to destroy them. The KLF reissued their album with the sample bits removes and instructions on how to add them back in:)
LMOL, umm yes Potsy they would pay Microsoft. Court battles can be lengthy and costly. So it's cheaper to pay than to litigate. Not too mention, Samsung carries Windows line of phones. So if they decided to fight Microsoft in court, they could lose Microsoft's business. Again, better to pay the hush money. Now Google on other hand.....
Did not violate any rules regarding email retention - rules were created after. Did what every other Secretary of State did in regards to email. Bush was president - so no, Hillary is not a bad choice.

Considering Republicans fought him at every turn - what did you expect.
Yes Bush's election was.
Nobody reads anymore:

Nothing to see her folks.

Doing a stellar job at journalism.
Umm, no you don't. They possess no more mercury that is found in a can of tuna fish. Look it up.

LMOL - yeah keep thinking that Zippy. Incandescent bulbs do not have the same life span.
Because an incandescent bulb is natural? I didn't know they grew on trees *eye roll*
LMOL - like the First Amendment regulates free speech.
Not for Google. I guess AT&T needs a new CEO who's not afraid to run a business.

You mean like Cheney.

Sadly self centered morons, don't get this.
What a douche bag excuse.
The art museum can does whatever the heck they want. You don't like it - tough titties.
Not when it interferes with people's enjoyment.
Only in your tiny little mind.
