religion is something people came up with to explain the unexplained. once we can explain stuff we're much better off (or at least feel more comfortable about it). think about the weird shit that's happened in the past.. all because we just "didn't know"
we don't have witch hunts any more - because we can explain a lot of things which were construed as witchcraft at one time. we don't sacrifice humans anymore because that's not really going to appease the gods and grant us a bountiful harvest the next season. we don't name constellations anymore because we figured out.. they're just stars....discovering things using science is awesome, but as you said, religion will always be around because science can't explain things what really happens to our consciousness after we die.
tea: "A supply of tea with milk and sugar would be nice. If it is tea I really like, I like it without milk and sugar. With milk and sugar, any kind of tea is fine. I always bring tea bags with me, so if we use my tea bags, I will certainly like that tea without milk or sugar....if he brings his own tea all the time, WTF milk and sugar? if he brings his tea with him, why even mention this?
audio: It is best to provide audio recordings in the original recorded sample rate, up to 44100Hz. Monophonic is generally adequate for speech recordings and saves a lot of space over stereo.
HOW to pay for his tickets? you're getting a free ticket why do you care HOW i pay for it? If you buy bus or train tickets for me, do not give my name! Big Brother has no right to know where I travel, or where you travel, or where anyone travels. If they arbitrarily demand a name, give a name that does not belong to any person you know of. If they will check my ID before I board the bus or train, then let's look for another way for me to travel. (In the US I never use long-distance trains because of their ID policy.)
Don't give them your name either: please pay for the ticket in cash.
hates breakfast: I do not eat breakfast. Please do not ask me any questions about what I will do breakfast. Please just do not bring it up.
don't be polite: So please don't ask me "Where do you want to eat?" or "What kind of restaurant do you want to go to?" I can't make an intelligent decision without knowing the facts, and unless I am already familiar with the city we're in, I can only get those facts from you...i can see him storming out of a room because someone asked him a friendly question.
coke vs. pepsi - sure state your preference.. but I don't give a shit WHY If I am quite sleepy, I would like two cans or small bottles of non-diet Pepsi. (I dislike the taste of coke, and of all diet soda; also, there is an international boycott of the Coca Cola company for killing union organizers in Colombia and Guatemala; see killercoke.org.) However, if I am not very sleepy, I won't want Pepsi, because it is better if I don't drink so much sugar.
it's MY EVENT. STFU: If you plan to restrict admission to my speech, or charge a fee for admission, please discuss this with me *personally in advance* to get my approval for the plan. If you have imposed charges without my direct personal approval, I may refuse to do the speech.
I'm not categorically against limiting admission or fees, but excluding people means the speech does less good, so I want to make sure that the limitations are as small as necessary. For instance, you can allow students and low-paid people and political activists to get in free, even if professionals have to pay. We will discuss what to do.
Another method, which works very well in some places, is to allow people to attend gratis but charge for a certificate of attendance. If the certificate is given by an educational institution, many will find it useful for career advancement, while the others could enter gratis. Whether this would be effective in your country is something you would need to judge.
can I have your couch? are you kidding me? - I do not have the ability to maintain a sleeping environment temperature +/- 2 degrees But please DON'T make a hotel reservation until we have fully explored other options. If there is anyone who wants to offer a spare couch, I would much rather stay there than in a hotel (provided I have a door I can close, in order to have some privacy). Staying with someone is more fun for me than a hotel, and it would also save you money.
REALLY? would YOU stay in a place that doesn't card people? Please call the hotel and ask whether they will demand to see my passport, and whether they report all their guests to the police. If it has thi
"That's the borderline insane part. " i don't think it's insanity.. is a simple failure to recognize social norms. think about what you do in your car (dig for gold) at a stoplight. you forget you are in a little glass box where everyone can see you.

"Above 72 fahrenheit (22 centigrade) I find sleeping quite difficult. (If the air is dry, I can stand 23 degrees.) A little above that temperature, a strong electric fan blowing on me enables me to sleep. More than 3 degrees above that temperature, I need air conditioning to sleep."

While Apple scored a significant victory in the U.S., there are a number of legal clashes going on around the world, all with varying levels of success so far for either side."
but asks to see the terms of the HTC settlement? Why?
Apple won't settle? but the head honcho said on the Q2 earnings call - a PUBLIC forum (if you're a shareholder)
we lock down from about mid december to mid jan.. partially because of staffing, but mostly because our enviornment needs to be stable for year end processing (I work for a bank). no elective changes are allowed during this time.. only fixes if something breaks.
we don't run our shit in thrid party datacenters, so it's not exactly the same scenario, but it's understandable that no changes are allowed. what if your stuff breaks and you don't have staff due to the holidays? if we fuck up, we only fuck up our shit... if a hosting outfit fucks up, they fuck up a lot of other people's shit..
maybe they host a lot of retail outfits who need to be up for the holiday shopping season.

I think you have it a little backwards. I'd say the manufacturers are the ones who WANT to produce for Apple.. how else do you explain settling for such small margins and demanding timelines.. you don't sign up to be abused unless there's something in it for you. I think Apple is the "feather in the cap" for anyone making components.. looks good on a resume - "look - we met Apple's notoriously demanding timelines, surely we can make widgets for you too"
Samsung sounds a bit disappointed.. having to settle for amazon and.. Samsung Electronics. "Although we are losing Apple business, Samsung looks safe as we found the right alternatives — Amazon and Samsung Electronics’ handset division," the Samsung Display source said.
Additional sources have confirmed that both Amazon and Samsung Electronics have increased their orders for displays, making up a portion of the losses caused by Apple's decline. The report suggested that Samsung would cease in providing Apple with displays by next year, but the company will still continue to do business in other areas with Apple including manufacturing the A6 SoC on the 32-nm process."
but then the article goes on to say "Shortly after the Korea Times article went live, Samsung stated that the report was 100-percent false. "Samsung Display has never tried to cut the supply for LCD panels to Apple," a spokesperson told CNET. The company is asking the Korea Times to revise its story. Still, is there some truth to the story, or was it 100-percent fabrication? We'll find out next year."
