Plus I'd wager that, unless you have a pocketful of cash, your chances of getting a loan for the condo are slightly higher than your ability to get a loan for the Darth Vader costume.
...Acronis. You can use it to image a machine, so that you can easily restore it to a known working state again later, even on different hardware. I'm a big fan of trayless disk caddies too, so you could have something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817994076 that would let you swap disks in and out easily. I like it because not only can I upgrade my machine on a new disk with no chance of thrashing my currently working machine, but I can also use the additional tray slots for imaging my machine as well.
That said, I've used an older version of photoshop in a virtual machine running under ubuntu with VMPlayer and it worked great. Virtualbox is an apt-get away and so far has been working great running Windows 7, but I haven't tried running Photoshop on it.
A little of my dies inside by saying this, but it seems like allowing for more choice (even among fart apps) is a good thing. Does the app store not allow people to sort by reviews/downloads/etc, to weed out the less useful (ouch, more dying inside) apps?
I wonder how hard it would be to make a device that blocks or otherwise interferes with all cellphones in a small (say, one-two meter) area? Make people who are caught texting pay a fine and have a device like this installed in their car. Or, force those caught texting while driving to have warning signs plastered all over their car with a "If you see me texting, call 1-800-555-5555 and report me for a reward" (sort of the modern equivalent of the pillory; speaking of which, bringing back the pillory might be the way to go). Luckily when someone is accused of texting while driving it is fairly easy to prove if the person was texting by looking at cellphone records, right?
I'd bet money Netflix would love to be a streaming only company; dealing with dvds in the mail must be a nightmare. I can't wait until I can stream every movie ever made via Netflix.
Neither Netflix nor Amazon should even exist, but for the stupidity of Blockbuster and Barnes and Noble. I can see the clueless management of both companies now:
If you can control every network connection behind your main firewall, and every machine, and can verify they are all always patched and malware free at all times. Of course laptops that travel around and places where anything can be plugged in pretty much make this impossible.
So I shouldn't turn on my firewall when I am in a coffee shop? Assuming I only use ssh and ssl, theoretically with my firewall in place I couldn't care less what kind of nastiness is floating all around me.
For awhile I thought my metabolism had slowed down due to age, but now I realize that with all of the HFCS laden products I was eating, even a high metabolism couldn't burn it all.
In summary, rats maintained on a diet rich in HFCS for 6 or 7 months show abnormal weight gain, increased circulating TG and augmented fat deposition. All of these factors indicate obesity. Thus, over-consumption of HFCS could very well be a major factor in the “obesity epidemic,” which correlates with the upsurge in the use of HFCS.
What am I missing? It doesn't seem like it is any more cut and dry than than that.
Sobe stopped using HFCS recently, as Heinz, who stopped adding it to some of their ketchups, and it is my understanding Hunts has removed it from all of theirs. I'm sure there are more; Google is your friend.
That was what I thought, but when I eat high sugar items (rare now, because there aren't many that don't use HFCS) I don't have the same problem (for example, if I drink a sugar filled SOBE drink).
Yeah I can't deny I'm eating better in general (and I am getting more exercise too). But avoiding anything with HFCS in it was a great kickstart in the right direction.
Well, some people prefer that their food be raised as humanely as possible. I realize some people couldn't care less, but some people actually do give two shits about things besides themselves.
I started buying things like ketchup at stores like Trader Joes when I discovered that most of the "food" stores didn't carry ketchup without HFCS in it. However with companies like Heinz dropping HFCS from their products, I can now get it in regular stores. But yeah, you can avoid it but you have to constantly check the labels and shop around.

It was going to be in the movie, but they decided to cut it since some crazy lady walked across the scene pretending to talk into a metal box.

Sniffing of wireless keyboards using WiFi is gonna be even easier than before.

...there might really be something to the case...
Like free publicity?
Certainly some people are incapable of farting, thus it is probably an ADA requirement that this handicap be properly addressed?

Except they of course could disguise it as something else, like, say, a warp drive that explodes when engaged, or something like that.

Thus spake Wikipedia:
(Barnes and Noble) first began selling books online in the late 1980s, but the company’s website was not launched until May 1997.
In July 1995, the company (amazon) began service and sold its first book on amazon.com
Wow, it took B&N almost two years after Amazon to get their website going? Talk about missing the boat.

Also apparently Japanese does not have many/any swear words? It does have offensive words/phrases like any other language of course.
If curse words become a part of normally accepted speech, what the hell will we use for curse words then???

All fairly irrelevant once they cease to exist.
Any countries volunteered to allow the residents refuge yet?
