Clever!! I do wonder what good use they could be put too, though:-)
Broken in half (after removing the filter) and inserted in the nostrils, they're pretty effective at filtering out (or maybe masking) odors that would otherwise make you nauseous.
I don't know why this got modded "Troll". The mis-naming of those tablets is not necessarily a good thing for Apple. When your brand name becomes commonly used as a generic name for a class of products, it dilutes the value of the trademark; IP attorneys refer to it as "genericide". Kleenex, Q-Tips, Band-Aids and Aspirin are great examples of this. Now excuse me, I have to go google how to photoshop some pictures.
Where do you think the casing stones of the Great Pyramid ended up? They used them to build the mosques of Cairo.
Sort of like pilfering the outer layer of marble from the Colloseum to build St. Peter's. The difference here AFAIK is that contemporary Christians aren't calling for the destruction of ancient pagan monuments in Rome.
But there's a god bigger than "allah", "Christ", "zarathustra" and any other one you want to name, it's called moneey, and the pyramids bring a lot of money to them, so, I don't think they are going to destroy them
Yes, Islamic fundamentalists are quite the promoters of foreign tourism. That's why so many sightseers are queuing up to view the ancient wonders of Afghanistan.
Ultimately, your property "rights" are granted rights, not inalienable or natural rights.
You mean, just like all so-called "rights"?
By inalienable rights, no doubt he's referring to those rights that according to the Constitution, the government cannot take from you. The Constitution does not grant those rights; it prohibits the Federal government from interfering with them.
Now, feel free to rant about the obvious overstepping that's been going on since the Civil War.
Unless I missed something (possible), that is an unsupported supposition. Nothing in the article or the spec sheet it links to says anything at all about BIOS.
If I am one of the 50 million Americans who are uninsured... and I need a million-dollar heart transplant, for $250 I can get a complete medical record including insurance company details.
It would be less painful to just kill yourself than to receive an organ transplant based on someone else's medical record and then wait for rejection to set in.
For some reason people like to equate "ignorance" with the lack of access to information --- which I think is patently false
Perhaps the "some reason" you're searching for is the fact that they are right and you are wrong with regard to the definition of ignorance:
ignorant
adjective 1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned
2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact
3. uninformed; unaware
4. due to or showing a lack of knowledge or training
In Florida, the utilities have successfully sued people over installing solar power, but that is beginning to change as the laws were altered to stop them from doing this.
It is about slander and libel. You can, in fact, sue people for making untrue statements that negatively effect you.
In general, you can sue anybody for pretty much anything. Winning a lawsuit is another matter. And neither slander nor libel is applicable in this particular instance.
Slander is the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation. Libel is the action of publishing a false statement damaging to a person's reputation. Whose reputation was damaged in this case?
A lot of companies require drug testing as a condition of employment, but I don't think it's because they think people looking for work tend to be users.
Even something as basic as the difference between To: and Cc:, I've seen people assume "first goes in To:, rest goes in Cc:, and that's not how it works.
Personally, I like the people who don't understand the difference between Reply and Reply All. When HR sends a company picnic invitation to Everybody, the invitation is immediately followed by a Reply All flood of RSVPs from that crowd. Lately, though, HR seems to have discovered the Bcc: field as a solution to that issue.
Not all popular idea's will go out or should go out, just because the majority wills it.
Or, as Edmund Burke put it back in the late 18th century, "Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgement; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion."
But then you have to pay hundreds of USD for an iPhone (or maybe one hundred for a compatible Android phone) and hundreds of USD per year to upgrade from voice-only cellular service to smartphone service. Or what am I missing?
That most people already have a smartphone.
The data plan issue is a bigger one, I think.
According to this survey, 56% of all US adults have smartphones (61% of cell-phone users). So yeah, "most", but not exactly an overwhelming majority. Note also that smart phone ownership is heavily skewed toward the upper income brackets, especially among older age groups.

That's nothing. The world is about to end. Or will end someday. Or already has ended.
"threat to the western way of life" != "wipe out the human race"
It's waxy yellow dll buildup.
I was being serious, but if you want to think I'm clever, that's OK too.

Actually, it isn't. The Play Store comments against the latest version are replete with complaints about this.
Or you could just change the Facebook settings without downloading additional crap.
Not with the latest Android app, you can't. The "Video Auto-play" option was removed.

Therefore ISIS contains 0.006% of the world's Muslims fighting for it.
In other words, they won't be missed.

Correlation does not imply causation!
Well, maybe.

Why wouldn't it, with an AMD A4?

Perhaps the "some reason" you're searching for is the fact that they are right and you are wrong with regard to the definition of ignorance:
you can work, shit, eat (I have a mini fridge within reaching distance), watch tv (I also have a tv mounted on the wall)
Didn't anyone ever tell you not to shit where you eat?

People who can't move? Do you have any idea how many dirt-poor people moved out of the dust bowl during the Great Depression?
