Unblockable political spam that everyone gets, on the other hand, is very easy to understand as "bad". Don't worry about that.
You mean like the political phone calls I get on me cell phone that aren't stopped by signing up on the "Do Not Call" list? Yeah, I have heard a lot of people really upset about that!!! NOT!
Why has it takes scientists so long to work out dark matter? You can see it right there in the picture!
But seriously, I have looked at the sky where there was very little light pollution and I have never seen the red or white cloud like structures. I guess that comes out with the long exposure. It is pretty cool how much you can see without an actual telescope.
In fact, I seem to remember Sony stating that they discovered the security breach after they had been DDOS'd. It is entirely possible that they had been broken into a long while before and the infiltrators had access for a long time. It would take a while to get 77 million identities out of a system. If the sophisticated hackers covered their tracks so they could get back in to get more, it even seem likely that it wasn't a recent event. Sony only discovered it when they started looking after the DDOS attack.
In some reports, there were 77 million people's credit information stolen, but Sony is only setting aside 1 million dollars. Sony must be getting a really good deal on this credit monitoring they are giving out. That or they don't expect very many people to sign up for it. Sorry, it was only for the first 100,000 customers, you are out of luck.
Or what about buying gas for the lawn mower. If they don't tax the mileage on that, then just fill your cars from gas cans and skip out on that extra tax.
That's exactly what this bill is proposing to do! All-electric vehicles are the future, but the roads will still need maintenance in that future, so this bill is adapting to that. Would you rather that we wait until roads and bridges start crumbling and falling down due to lack of funds to change the means of revenue generation which accounts for all-electric vehicles?
You're right, there's no mention of repealing the gasoline tax, so this would result in double taxation of gasoline-powered vehicles. But by double-taxing gasoline consumers, maybe that will shift the economics more in favor of all-electric vehicles (to avoid the double tax), which I'm pretty sure most people would say is a good thing. Two benefits from a single bill.
It doesn't tax a car like the Chevy Volt correctly though. Let's say you drive very short distance most days. You could go 1000 miles before needing to fill the tank again, since the Volt drives on pure electricity for the first 40 miles or so. At the pump you are going to be taxed for all 1000 miles. If you had a pure electric only vehicle, then you would never pay this tax, as you never go to the pump. It is one of the stupidest ideas I have heard from the ideots that are in goverment.
To me it sounded like they had the PSN network brought down by anonymous. Then when Sony was looking into the security breach they discovered that there was a much more serious problem than just a DDOS going on. They were probably infiltrated by a crime group a long while ago without ever knowing about it. The anonymous attack gave them reason to look and they happen to discover the other issue and can blame that on anonymous as well. Sony admitted it took a couple of days before they told the FBI, that doesn't sound like a security aware company to me.
People remain convinced that high fructose corn syrup is more harmful than cane sugar.
Right, because a study done with some rats being fed sugar and others being fed corn syrup can just be ignored because you believe it is the same thing. The rats eating sugar got full and stopped eating. The rats eating the corn syrup never got full and over-ate.
Similarly, what does OBL's birth certificate say? It says that a piece of paper was produced resembling a birth certificate. Is this sufficient evidence that he was born in the US? No. Is there credible evidence that he was not born in the US? No.
How about the fact that long form birth cirtificates in Hawaii are put into bound books and they don't make copies for people. You go look at the book yourself. Plus, there is a neswpaper birth announcement from the time he was born. You can go into any library archive and look up that newspaper yourself to check if the announcement was in fact real. It would be pretty hard to fake that. I think that counts as credible evidence.
President BARACK OBAMA: I have to say that over the last two and a half years I have watched with bemusement, I've been puzzled, at the degree to which this thing just kept on going.We've had every official in Hawaii, Democrat and Republican, every news outlet that has investigated this, confirm that, yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii, August 4, 1961, in Kapiolani Hospital.
INSKEEP: Even before he released the certificate, there was plenty of evidence. There was even a contemporary newspaper birth announcement from 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The evidence was overwhelming.
It is pretty hard to go back to 1961 and fake a newspaper birth announcement. The birthers are wacko nut-jobs that watch way too much Faux News. If someone says something enough times, people start to believe it no matter what the facts are.
What's so bad about channel surfing? I was watching a documentary the other day, and they discussed Netflix's profiling, and how they send you things you will like to watch. You end up being more like you (the stereotype you), and never try things you might like, if you weren't you.
And this is the kind of documentary I would have never watched, if it wasn't just because I randomly landed on that channel.
Same with a "chick flick" I saw the other day. A silly movie but in the end I thought it was... cute, to put it some way. If I had to search for it, buffer it, etc... I would have never watched it.
From the same token, I am watching shows that I would never have put on if they were being played on cable (which they aren't). Netflix allows you to watch a lot of things that you may not find while channel surfing. And that is asuming that you are surfing at the time the show is on, if it is played while you are asleep, then you have no chance of stumbling on it.
Basically, your point about finding shows while channel surfing is identical to finding shows while browsing the Netflix list. Either way you may find something interesting.
Maybe you are not losing someone from buying your $60 game. That person might not have been a gamer before the phone or tablet and the $0.99 games. Since the Wii came out there have been whole new groups of people playing games that were never targeted with the previous game systems and expesive games.
I remember the old Palm days with their shorthand and such. Adapt that idea. Give me alternative methods of entering data.
The first day I got my Android phone, I put 8Pen onto it for the virtual keyboard. I have a slide out physical keyboard, but I have gotten so fast at 8Pen that it is quicker than using the physical one. I liked the Palm writing back in the day, so this is a similar writing style alternate data entry method. Your finger moves in circles and figure 8's, and you only have to lift it when you want a space. And if you can keep track of the center dot, you don't even have to look at the keyboard to write things like the hunt and pecking of a qwerty virtual keyboard.
So are they waiting until they can come up with another fastastic failure like the Zune or the Kin? Sell it for 3 months and then drop it! That is pretty distinctive.
Absorbing more light can give you more energy, unless you have problems with over-heating. Maybe the plants would need to absorb less light so they don't have problems with too much energy. Perhaps the plants on that planet will be white!
Rutkowski runs the Founder Institute in Los Angeles which launches about 1000 companies year and prides himself as being the fist person to coin the term “Web 3.0” during a press conference with Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
What an Idiot! I very much doubt this guy knows anything at all.
And for the record I am coining the term "Web 4.0" right now. It is on record here and I am very proud of my new accomplishment. Brand new term, nothing similar has ever before been uttered.
Ok, it's a good example of having something not work in Linux. I have examples of printers that would not work in Windows because we had a previous printer that died. No amount of uninstalling the HP drivers and re-installing them would get the drivers to install, they simply froze during installation. This was on serveral computers at the work place. I booted into Ubuntu and the printer was detected and worked without any installation needed.
Windows has it's problems also. It just seems like people look over them and don't see them. Perhaps they are too used to dealing with it that they think that is what a computer is supposed to do.
Learning how to make the bomb and the theories of how it works is one thing. Actually making one that works is another. Sometimes there are little details that must be just right, but aren't readily apparent in the theories or drawings. The real world is not perfect theory.
I remember hearing about the US government trying to update it's aging arsonal of nuclear weapons and having problems with a certain part. They had the schematic diagrams and knew the materials to make it out of, but it didn't work like the original parts did. The bomb would not work without the part, and we could no longer make the part. Some knowledge was lost over time. It could be something that the engineers at the time knew, but didn't document well enough, or the current material didn't match the original in some subtle but important way. Whatever the cause, it demonstrates that it isn't always as easy as it seems.
I wish I could find some information on this on line. Perhaps my information is incorrect. If anyone is aware of what I am talking about, please give more details.
Too bad, my shaving mirror depends on the heat of a traditional lightbulb to function (keep fog away).
They have changed the description of incandescent lightbulbs to be defined as heat generators rather than made for producing light. This allows them to get around the laws passed for light bulb standards and still sell the traditional lightbulbs. In your case, you really do need the heat.
on the other hand, I do know that Toronto is not in the US - at least not yet.
Oh really?

Trying to project $1 billion down to $20 is not necessary for the tool to fit in your pocket. My Android phone can do voice actions and speech to text things, but I am pretty sure it uses Googles computers to do the work. Anyway, with a net connection you can have a 8 million dollar computer do the processing for as many people can time share it. It might end up being only $20 for the app.

Plus there is a KeePass for Android. It reads the same database as the PC version, so it is easy to migrate back and forth. It's called KeePassDroid.
