Ummm sorry to burst your bubble but e-ink IS THE REASON that people use this and why tablets will never compete with them...ever. E-Ink saves your eyes, requires practically no power, and allows for a much thinner display.
There are many many many people out there who want the single use device and these will be here for decades to come. If you dont understand then consider this, why would people use an ipod or phone when they could use a laptop for about the same price? Laptops have been around for a long time and they dont seem to be detering PDAs and phones at all...
I am in the security industry and from our standpoint we have to look at his history. Now, if I saw he worked in the gambling industry I would spend time asking questions about his involvement and if he has any gambling addictions and what kinds of ties he has. I know it is stereotyping but in my industry stats matter and we have to check any case where someone might have leverage and be a candidate for espionage.
So if you see that as a black mark then I would say be careful. Any industry that carries with it a stereotype is going to cause issues on a resume, don't think what should happen, think about what people's biases really are and whether or not you can overcome them, or even want to try.
That would be great, but just selecting easy, medium, hard isnt good enough. I think what you are alluding to would be great, if I dont like a certain adaptation then I can turn it off. However, I find some of the most rewarding parts in a game are when I have been pounding on a scenario and am absolutely positive it is rigged and I figure it out...not sure if my willpower would be strong enough in those situations to overcome the desire to uncheck the box.
But sadly, there's no arguing rationally with people like you.
Thank you for proving my point. Some day when you grow up and learn more about yourself you will recognize your biases and stop letting them control you.
Religious: scrupulously faithful; conscientious.
at some point everyone follows some faith, either that self is correct, or that a god is correct. To believe anything else is blind. Faith is rational, faith is necessary, yes there are some people who blindly follow, but while they give us a bad name they are no different from the individuals that blindly condemn them.
ya I was just wondering what worked and what didnt since I will be moving to Win7 here in the next 6 months or so. My media PC acts as a print server, the NIC died on the HP4 but the parallel has been kicking for a while.
Sticking to verified facts is impossible as not everything is verified or verifiable. At some point you have to lean on biases and personal experience. Which is why I quantify opinions with, "in my experience", unless I have citations available.
I didn't say for everyone, I just said in my experience with the people I know this is the case. I could care less what you believe, what is true is all that matters. If you think my life experiences are nonsense that is your problem not mine.
Ya I found that his complaints in the article were mostly personal ones. But that is where we want to be. We want to be the problem is the human not the software. Wave allows us way more control and options so you can customize your experience. With Pop and IMap you are stuck with severe limitations. If Wave's biggest complaint is that it gives you too much information...I will take that over too little.
I have had difficulty with the 1300 series in general. While a great printer they just arent sturdy and I have deployed 50 or so of em and a reasonably high rate of failure after 3 years...15 or so out of the 50. Laserjet 4 or 4+ for that matter, you can count on to work for decades, mine is going on 15 years or so and isnt showing any signs of slowing down. Sure it only prints 12ppm and has to warm up but for my needs and future needs it is fantastic, you can pick them up for pennies at local auctions.
I wonder what the correlation is there. Was your school a larger one? Of course there is always that guy who is riding the line staying in school for the sports, but usually those guys are rare, the rest of the team is doing fine. Do you have any reason for believing that the jocks were largely underachievers? Eg lack of honor mention, or did you have access to their GPA?
I think maybe then I misrepresented my opinion, Porn has a questionable effect on the individual viewing it. This is debatable because proving causation would be very difficult, however correlation is there, thus the debate. But saying that there is no negative effect would be ignorant.
The studies are out there, they are accessable, we have a large amount of data to show the effects of the sex drive on humans. I have yet to meet someone who hasn't noticed a trend in their porn tasts that hasn't shifted as they get bored of X, Y, or Z. I have also yet to meet individuals (or they hide it very well), who have a healthy porn habit supported by their partner, and the relationship lasts more than a couple years. Successfull partnerships (gay or straight), in the world that I live in never include porn. Be it that porn is an indicator of another issue or not, but the correlation is a very very strong one. Causation would be next to impossible to prove.
Given this is/. so many people here are probably vitims of jocks, there will be bias against us. However, student athletes are very successful, in fact when I was doing College sports, most of my peers had 3.5+ GPAs. In HS (smaller HS) the majority of top athletes in my school were honor roll. Not because of the coach putting pressure on teachers but because the coach puts pressure on the athletes. You GPA drops you don't play. Same in college. But there are extremes on both sides, the meathead jock, and the lazy non-athlete that give bad names to both. But I would contend that the majority of student athletes are academically sound.
It exists, they are called private schools. You can choose which one to go to and which ones to support. I am very AGAINST state sponsored segregation.
Actually they are talking about lengthening the school day by 3 hours. They just gave an example of lengthened school years in other countries, but the locations that have lengthened the day rather than year have seen more improvement.
Sorry was supposed to be physiological as well as psychological. Physiological in the effect of hormones on the body, psychological in the effect it has on sexual presumptions. But I am not a PPP grad so what do I know.
Wow I left for an hour or so and come back to a troll and a lot of flames...guess I deserved that for insulting the closest thing most/.ers will come to having sex...
But yes the studies exist, look into divorce rates regarding infidelity, abuse, molestation cases....almost every time there is a massive porn trail. Be that because the spouse in question wasnt attending to their significant other's needs or whatever, the numbers are still there. Check Pedophile cases in particular.

Yes, and proud of it. Everyone is religious, some are just in denial.

A used laserjet 4. Suckers last friggin forever and anyone can write a driver for one...

No whitepapers offhand sorry.

You have to be vague to make it through the web filter here :)
