According to a CBS press release "the target age is 14 and up" but it clearly says "Ages 8 +" on the packaging.
To be fair, that packaging is only saying that it's safe for 8 and up, i.e. that children younger than that might injur themselves using the toy. It's in no way an endorsement of a particular age that the toy is appropriate for.
How would you answer "Do you want a cup of tea?"
1) The verb [Drink]
2) The noun [Tea]
3) The answer [Yes]
If you do anything apart from (3), then i pity those who share a domicile with you, and doubt you ever get asked if you want a cup of tea.
This isn't consistent with the OS X paradigm. It would go more like,
Do you want a cup of tea?
A cup of tea is available.
If you go to a doctor telling him "it hurts when I do this," and he says to stop doing that, you went to a sucky doctor. It's really a bad anology for the situation.
And anyway, you've got it messed up. Google doesn't pay anyone to click on links. When you click on a link, someone else has to pay and Google gets paid.
Your dad got a highly technical explanation that he obviously didn't understand, so that makes it automatically bogus?
It's possible that there was a totally non-bogus technical reason. For instance, if a lot of people were visiting the site from the same few ISP's, only the first ones would be counted in your dad's server logs because the rest would be loading the site from the ISP's cache.
Or you could BUY the movies and watch them when and as often as you like without having to pay another dime.
Actually, that's a workable analogy, except that you're wrong. Say you buy the Lord of the Rings DVD the first day it comes out. A few months later they update it with more special features and a new cover. Since you bought the DVD, do you get this new version? No, you don't. Nor do you get the next several "collecter's editions" that come out in the following months. You must pay again and again to get more updated content.
An MMO has a monthly fee for a number of reasons. Server maintenance and bandwidth costs are high, but the consumer doesn't really care about that. However, MMO's do offer something the consumer cares about: regularly updated content, balancing, etc.
Hormel factories in Ohio have been stormed by enthusiastic but confused SWAT teams. Hormel spokesmen could not be reached for comment, as they are being held at gunpoint.
No, not really. What you're talking about is really just another kind of deception. The most convincing lies are based on as much truth as possible anyway.
If someone asks "does this make me look fat" and you give the most honest answer, it's not difficult at all. If you want to "make yourself look good" and avoid being "trapped," then you are not telling the simple truth and thus are practicing deception, whether what you say is technically true or not.
Telling the whole truth as far as you know it is easier than deception. Whether or not your deception is a half truth or a full out lie is irrelevant.

No, one always killed the other (though which one killed and which one died varied).
That's some interesting math, especially since Apple applied for the iTunes patent two weeks before the domain was registered.
he started to use the name to forward people to his site before apple started using itunes name..

I like you, Stewart. You're not like the other people, here in the trailer park.
Is your misspelling of "finish" like "Finnish" supposed to be a pun?
Seriously, majority rule and the majority have the education of chimp on tequila binge?
You had a chimp on a tequila binge at your high school too?

People who use AbiWord on other platforms should feel right at home but most Mac users will be turned off.
Unless of course they're coming from OpenOffice, in which case they'll be thrilled.
My life cannot be complete until I own a walker robot.
That is all.
Yeah, it would have been much more "interesting" if the papers were, I don't know, read psychically by the computer or something.
Your server logs aren't going to show every click accurately, for lots of reasons.

Step 3: Profit!
I'm currently reading Dune for the first time and my first thought was to wonder if he'd made them up or if they'd been known about since the 60's.

If that's the case, Firefox was doomed to begin with because it only exists thanks to many generous donations from AOL.

All that can be true when you tell the truth too. For instance, imagine your wife asking "Are you cheating on me?"
You're starting with the assumption that the truth can't hurt, and that assumption seems quite obviously false.
But in that instance, aren't you most likely thinking about lying (assuming that the true answer is yes)?
It's not fair that the government provides us free police force and firemen. The private companies can't compete and its killing the economy.
At least now I know why he never replies to my requests for an interview ;)
Either that, or it's the fact that the Microsoft icon for the site is Bill as a borg...
