I would think the same, but it could be a discount supermarket with really low profit margins on dirt-cheap products from second-rate suppliers. We have a chain like that in our area where they leave out the produce until it gets moldy and then offer a replacement guarantee. So if you're 5-day old fruit turns moldy on you, you can return it, but they don't have to toss out as much because people tend to use the fruit within a day or two of purchase. If this was a reputable supermarket, I could see shorter shelf-lives affecting them more, but for discount supermarkets with cheap computer systems they don't care and just leave the food out for an extra day.
You should also add to this the statistic of how many corporations use their own distribution server (middleman). Even if clients poll daily, the corporation as a whole may only deliver updates weekly or may stagger updates to ensure they are tested in the wild before pushing them out to corporate clients.
If that were true, I'd imagine these things would work wonders on raising company morale on handling after-hours support calls or server outages. They'd take down the servers just to get another hit. Hm... Maybe that's a bad idea.
Well, if they don't find a buyer, this won't be a problem anymore. We can then purge the system of Palm devices arguing that people are using ancient devices from an extinct company.
"This feature is knock-on-wood and free of glitches." *knocks on wood desk* "Well, except when the computer closes all open programs like it just did. We still need to work on that particular gesture."
Thus further confirming that string theory is true. Who would have thought that high pressure environments would turn things back into their basic elements.
Maybe security compliance might be a waste of money (eg, security through obscurity), but lets not forget that if your website isn't accessible to the disabled that you can be sued for it. I'm not sure if there are any state or federal mandated security requirements, but I imagine consumers can sue you after a break-in when you're not security compliant.
Oh, I bet we could. If the popularity of the story on social networks is high enough and the original posting didn't have any high-profile news outlets linked, then we can probably determine how quickly a/. user who only gets the weekly newspaper decides to post their findings linked to said high-profile newspaper web article when they get to work on Monday morning.
Of course, these dupes could be reduced if posts with high-profile news links are checked before they are given the green light.
Teacher, I swear I wrote up the entire 40 page paper, but I burned my thumb really bad the other day and when I went to retrieve my paper, it exploded.
I enjoyed Microsoft Bob very much, as a child. The post-modern room was amazing. I spent hours playing around with that program, so it has sentimental value to me you insensitive clod.
Actually, "kiehlster" is derived from the German "kielmister" or "kiel" which is a surname of Viking decent from the commonwealth of Kiel, Germany. It refers to the the keel of a boat and is thus considered to mean "ship's captain". But you know us viking ship captains. We're always screwy in some way.
And yes, the strippers would certainly recruit more interest in public libraries. Maybe one could write some legal rebuttal to illegal prostitution in this way. After all, we approve of public libraries, so public strippers could get away with the business in that manner.
Oh, few... At first I read that as rats gorging themselves on human fat. Wait a minute... maybe the end of the world will come when rats get a cocaine-like addiction to eating humans. Everybody PANIC!
Maybe we should stop calling them libraries. Library comes from Liber and refers to "inner bark" or wood, and refers to books made out of trees. I don't think music, videos and games are made of trees, nor are they rooted in trees. Maybe they do in the sense of telling stories, but I wouldn't consider half the media today to tell a congruent story.

YouTube Is Down

I have a theory. I've experienced this for the last week, half-blaming the issue on recently acquiring a new computer. I believe it is related to some kind of change period, especially surrounding YouTube. Google is transitioning YouTube user accounts into full-fledged Google accounts and dropping the legacy YouTube accounts altogether. I found last night that, because I was authenticated with my legacy ID (which was stored in a Google cookie) I couldn't access the website at all. After deleting all YouTube and Google cookies, I was about to access the website with only occasional errors. If you ask me, I'd say that this massive transition might be hammering on their authentication servers.

Horray! One more thing to poke fun at while watching techy movies. "Hey, we're in America. You can't hide behind fake 555 numbers anymore."

Nope, despite a masters degree in UFO studies, they're still unidentified flying objects.
Sounds like NASA's gone low-tech using brooms to sweep away the old and introduce the new stuff rather than simply unveiling new programs.
It would be hacked by now if it wasn't for those WiFi problems. Either that or hackers stopped caring about Apple products.

I believe 13 times would be the real challenge. 12 is easy.
If it can distinguish what type of clothing goes on hangers, I'm all in for eliminating laundry from my weekly chores.
And I was hoping Google was getting into the market for android fleas. It's a highly untapped segment.

Webster's etymology states: from Latin, neuter of librarius of books, from libr-, liber inner bark, rind, book. 14th century.

I'm sure they're only clicking because the link sounds interesting, completely ignoring their safety because they're not paranoid like us /.'ers.
