In my friend's shop, they keep it pretty simple. It's a small place, so most of the parts are clsoe at hand. They use an electric screwdriver, because it's much faster for opening cases. A CRT, mouse, and keyboard that never leave. The coffe machine and such is on another table entirely, as clients tend to dislike it when coffee spills all over their machine, especially when it's running
The best part of it all (from TFA): And when cells from the test mouse are injected into ordinary mice, they too acquire the ability to regenerate, the US-based researchers say.
"When we injected fetal liver cells taken from those animals into ordinary mice, they too gained the power of regeneration. We found this persisted even six months after the injection."
At least it's not carried by blood...then we'd really be in for it.
So if you don't want someone "taking" your money, stop using every governmental service. Stay off the roads, don't come crying when you're robbed by a real crook, and don't expect to have anything proving you own your land but a shotgun. Declare yourself a seperate country, and stop complaining. And when you get hit by a Tornado/Earthquake/Bolt of Lightning/Meteor/Thermonuclear Device, you better not take any Governmental Aid. This would include Coast Guard rescue from a sinking ship.
Well...I guess I'm screwed then...I looked at the blocking out of the White House. Not only is it's roof craftily made to look totally flat, but a rather pathetic job of the same thing was done to the two adjacent buildings... (forgive my ignorance of which buildings those are)
It's been curtailed beacuse there have been years of fighting as to where to build it, and in said time, the design has only increased in little bits. How does it require much money from us when it isn't under construction or operation? Now though, funding will pick up since we've resolved our differences over the location of the project
It is an international project involving The People's Republic of China, the European Union (represented by Euratom), Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America, under the auspices of the IAEA.
What if you were buying...i don't know, some random widget. There are two choices of widget, which are the same in quality, but one is cheaper. If that cheaper one finances an anti-whatever-country-you're from terrorist organization, would you buy it anyway, knowing that it pays for bullets that could wind up in your or your family's chests?
The environmental/social concerns are the same thing, only less direct. Will you buy a non-environmentaly company's product if you know that you'll get cancer in 30 years because of it?
What if they start discriminating against you, just because its cheaper?
Besides, the system is too big to screw up. There will always be someone like you, ignorant of the consequenses and companies which share your view of the bottom line.
I know that my family saved quite a lot of money thanks to these cuts, and we are by no means 'wealthy'. These tax cuts don't just benefit the rich. It's just that those who are rich, who PAY MORE TAXES get money back as well.
As for NASA, they suffer from a lack of good publicity. Most of what reaches the average person's ears are their mistakes and failures. People, including those who affect funding, are probably looking for some results. Results that they might be able to use in a re-election campaign or might see as not being a waste of money.
If you want more money for NASA, write to people who can make those decisions, don't complain about administrators who LOSE (I can get it right sometimes) their jobs. Because whether they deserved it or not, it won't change now and they probably didnt have the same funding impact as certain influential senators.
Why do you have to have a firewall and an anti-virus to be safe? Why not just run safe software?
I use Windows because I'm a gamer. I used to use macs when I was like 12, and even earlier in elemenary school, but not anymore. With my broadband connection, behind a router with NAT, I have yet to catch anything on either of my 2 Windows boxes. I run only CA's AV software. I have never gotten spyware results in AdAware or SpyBot.
I have only ever 'lost' one box to malfunctions. That was a 9 year old Win95 box that I gave to my grandmother. I lost it 16 months after giving it to her, because the (original) power supply went out, and it wasn't woth replacing. My current box is 5 years old, and has merely lost a cheap power supply during a power surge. It started off on 98, but was upgraded to 2000. It suits me just fine.
Spend what you would on a mac (other than the mini) on a custom windows box, and i wouldn't be to concerned about reliability if you choose parts wisely.
Oddly enough, the only guys in the theater at the showing I went tho who didn't like it were the ones in Jedi Robes.
And yes, theaters may have their problems, but I didn't have to go to the bathroom, I only paid $5.75 for my ticket (yes, US dollars), the sound was amazing and I got to see it with a girl at my side...who came to the theater with me...who was totally unrelated to me...who paid for my ticket as a birthday present.
It was funny. She got so angry at Palpatine that she was yelling at him under her breath. And she was telling me how angry she was the entire ride home, and asking me how Anakin could do such things.
I would have to agree. Last year I spent some time in Florida with my brother and his girlfriend. Her brother had all three systems. We played Halo for awhile, but people got frustrated. We stayed away from the PS2 due to the lack of an adapter for 4 controllers. We fired up the cube, though and played MarioKart for long enough to race every course. The we played WarioWare. For 6 hours straight. We only went to bed due to the impending drive to Seaworld.
Nintendo has games where you dont get angry about losing, because you had fun even when you bit the dust. That's my experience at least.

...I don't even want to know what you're doing with your pillow to be worried about that...
...woulld be pleased.

...there is no patch for human stupidity.
It's only libel if there is an intent to cause harm and a knowledge that what you write is false.

What do you define as 'the wealthiest'?

Because the ex-boyfriend doesn't have $3,000,000. Simple as that.
