They wouldn't warranty it so I ended up putting a Triplite ISObar surge suppressor between it and the server in our test environment and it was in service for years after that.
But thats exactly the problem! The ninjas keep the pirates in check, but then the scurvy is taking them out too, hence there are less pirates these days, hence the global warming. By eliminating scurvy, the balance will be restored and the climate will return to normal.
And I thought the MSDN CDs ya get posted were bad. They come in a box about the size of an Eee PC (but taller), and contain just a CD in a sleeve cover.
A little reactive? It would burn pretty violently if simply exposed to air, and EXPLODE if it came in contact with water. And either event would produce highly corrosive byproducts.
Yeah, does it say anywhere what metal they are using? Mercury would be too large of a hazard I would think, although there are a few metals that are liquid just above room temperature.
Well... its not a liquid metal, but chocolate is meant to be liquid at room temperature, and not only can you take relatively large quantities without overly harmful effects, but it tastes great too!
It would build a whole lot of goodwill from the customers, provide an incentive for them to shop there instead of a competitor, and might even give them a bit of leverage to get more shipments from Nintendo if the can say we have a waiting list of X customers. And even if they can't, as a customer if I was looking for one and I go to a store that says 'No we have no stock. You can come by next shipment and try your luck', and then go to a different store that says 'No we have no stock, but we can put you on a list and you will get one in X weeks', I wouldn't be coming back to the first store, even if there was a possibility of getting one earlier.
Yes I know that one, though I often get it wrong (as in my previous post). More out of laziness than anything else though. And that's why the common sense way is better. It's quite obvious that you should have written
"Its = possessive. It's = 'it is'".
My rule is quote what is being quoted, and nothing else. If there was punctuation in the quote, then put it in. If there wasn't then don't. Then after the quote is finished, put in whatever punctiation you would on a normal sentence. Which leads to things like
Harry asked "What are you doing?".
I know it's wrong pretty much anywhere you go, but it makes the most sense, and if anyone doesn't like it - well I'll get over it if they don't. Plus I never write in a situation that is formal enough for people to be rightfully pissed off about it anyway.
You are correct. Apparently he was inspired by Risk, but it's obviously not based on it (unless you use the Hollywood "based on a true story" type definition I guess!).
Well fortunately for me, I'm in Australia, so its fine. Possibly also fortunately for me, I have sigs turned off, so I can't get any educational enhancement out of yours.
Consider translated quotes. Nobody seems to have a problem with them even though there is no guarantee that the translation perfectly reflects the original statement. I think quoting children or people who use slang on message boards should follow the same rules. Yes, it "opens up liability both for lawsuits as well as ethics complaints," but the same could be said for any translated quote.
There was actually a bit of a deal about this recently. I can't remember exactly what happened, but it was something along the lines of a translater mistranslating what the Indonesian president said to the Australian PM. Instead of saying that Rudd couldn't directly do anything about travel security warnings to Indonesia, the translater said that Rudd would do something about them. This was, of course, during a press conference.

Never trust any piece of equipment...
You mean like a Triplite ISObar surge suppressor?
On a single core system this would result in not being able to run anything!
The N64 had an analog stick and rumble pak in 1997.
I'm sure they were given the whole 'you will be helping to secure America' bullshit / assuaging.
Much more likely they were given the whole 'you will be given a whole heap of money' line.
I doubt we could adapt ourselves to the possibility of genetically engineered people.
Well thats what we should genetically engineer into us first then!
They release plans for the "Death Knight" Way before his death.
Well that certainly calls into question the circumstances of his death now doesn't it!

Sounds like The Woman Who Swallowed a Fly.
For all you know, the parent is a sexy bitch with big titties.
In this case, one out of two IS bad.
What about getting service from a non idiotic company who knows how web works? That is another solution :)
Ideally, that would be a solution. In reality...
Cue 'Is that a black hole in you pocket...' jokes.
replacing them with a single massive problem.
I dunno... wouldn't an Earth-mass black hole be very small?
Oooh I love those balloon thingies. Sneak up behind a coworker and pop them. Hilarity ensues!

Isn't that exactly what a heat pipe does?

Yeah alright how about her?
Interestingly wikipedia claims she was born aged 55, which explains a lot.

The underclasses had and have their own dialects
I'm certainly not going to fix up every instance of Aluminum [sic] and -ize [sic] that all these underclass Americans insist on using!
