colloquially, it was referred to by a few engineers as "P-MIS". "Put your time into P-MIS." "Make sure you've kept up your P-MIS project."
This quickly caught on and became common vocabulary. The new female VP even used it once in a meeting without thinking about what it sounded like.
At the same company, we had a policy of naming the PC's inappropriate scatalogical terms. During a client training session we were watching an active Wireshark capture without a port or host filter. One of our PCs was asking for a specific server-name from the local DNS. Packets were flying by but one kept showing up: our client's executive raised his hand and asked, "who is 'SCROTIUS TESTICLES'?"
Whereas in other areas of the world, more or less, it gets built faster and without quite as much largesse.
Look up Stuttgart 21, just a new train station. It took 15 years from planning to start of work. Costs have mushroomed. And it has had a major effect on city and state governments.
But, yeah, totalitarian governments, from Bismarck to China, generally can build train networks faster. Is that what you want?
maybe if we had a faster train we wouldn't need the totalitarian government to complete it on time O:o)
I seem to recall finding a kernel module 10 years ago that would signal to brew coffee when your machine booted. I suppose hacking the coffee machine is another option
In defense of the calculator - it has an included screen, dedicated custom keyboard, custom slim case, battery life measured in months if not years, etc.
In non-defense of the calculator - most of its cost is not in the above, but in its certification for use in [school / university / industry] - even if not for itself, then its sibling product which is.. and when that product costs $NN, you can't very well start selling this one for $N without people cluing in.
down with the calculators of defense! it's time we end the mathematical industrial complex! they've been selling children-- children! overpriced calculators running on gameboy processors for 20 years! why can't the children just have a happy childhood? why do we have to repackage the gameboy into a torture device?
"The company says they now plan to license more outside brands, and bring back “My K-Cup” reusable filters."
They learned nothing. They will continue to DRM the coffee maker just license More pods.I hope the pod makers flip them off as they should.They don't need Keurig,Keurig needs them.
why don't we get the EPA to class-action them for all the waste produced with the DRM? They were shutting out the biodegradable Costco k-cups.
straight from the makers of aerobie (isn't that crazy?) you guys need to move to the aeropress. Just add hot water, wait 30 seconds, and you get a surprisingly incredible cup of espresso.
It's very well understood that DVDs can't be copied. This is considered reasonable. While the restriction on coffee grounds considered unreasonable.
But I'd propose an alternative: Keurig 2.0 is going nowhere mostly because the only real advantage it has is the ability to brew pots of coffee. A lot of people simply aren't interested in doing that, much less willing to pay more/give up more countertop space for the privilege.
movies are not a product of the earth and are not something that was here before someone came along and harvested the movie. additionally, I cannot grow my own movies and naturally have the same product.
Keurig has every right to place DRM checking into the brewers. And we have every right to get rid of it
that's not punishment. punishment would restitute the abuse of trust that manifested in keureg marketshare that gave them the opportunity to make such a selfish decision
I gave up hope. there are people who need to learn that they need to look a bit harder and apply more of their own effort, and helping them actually damages their potential for growth

we had a time management system called "P.M.I.S."

shouldn't the Navy be focused on The Wave? The Cloud is outside their jurisdiction
Whoever came up with that choice phrase ought to stick to using words and phrases that they actually know the meaning of...
well, it could have been worse. it could have been a "Buggy Lunar"

oh good idea, that works

actually no
7 were for dwarf lords in their halls of stone
this $9 is for mortal men doomed to die

Because Starbucks' product is better. That or because they're hippie douchebags. .
starbucks? hippie douchebags? I think meant to say highschool and college white girls
I can't even.
that thing is $15-20 so I'm no surprised people haven't bought 6 of them.

you have good coffee in earth destroying pods
this actually sounds like an intriguing scifi. the meteor pods from space destroy earth, but in the meantime, here have some alien brew!
you just tape the v2 pod lid to the top of the inside of the v2 brewer. youtube for videos of people doing this
I will never buy a DRM coffee machine...
Unless you're a prostitute, don't fuck your customer.
Or Apple -- you lock in your customers all you want if you're Apple.
sounds like marriage. and at that point it's just 'domestic dispute'

Pirated versions.

when it's maritime you use the merigoround
these are seaservers btw, not webservers
You'd be better off taking modern meat back in time and selling it for mint condition 1958 and earlier coins.
*whoosh*
that's the sound a timetravel machine makes when it whizzes over your head
hah HAH! they INTENTIONALLY invented warp drive!!! now make it so!
The US is really good at messing with about everything they touch. Maybe take it a step back, guys.
I'd prefer my arm in one piece thanks
bro, you need to stop going to reddit, bunch of dummy poopy heads there. go to hackernews
if you get confused by the results when you google for hackernews, you don't belong there. stay on reddit
so you support child labor?
oh, didn't read that far.
still, if it took that much to cause cancer in mice...?
