You're right. Best to give 'em bigger fish to fry - say, retrofit a Sprint 3-cyl engine in their giant gas guzzler Fords and delete aircon/heater bits to save on weight. Then those defunct personalized guns won't seem such a problem. Save the environment while protecting people from guns. win++
Education is something best left to non-Americans if the record is any indication. Icelanders are calm and collected, why not have them introduce American gun policy.
For the curious here's a link to a youtube fixin' chromium extension. This is the full, improved version of Youtube Options in the Chrome store. Download directly from spoi.com to get the full range of features that aren't allowed by Chrome Store's TOS. I only wish there were a reliable Firefox equivalent to de-crap Youtube and show it in naked glory as nature intended.
With all the crying wolf lately it's a wonder we still see these articles. What happened to SARS, did all five victims of the "pandemic" die without passing it on? H1N1 caused some sniffles. Donald Rumsfeld made a killing with his quack medicine while GSK fleeced the Brits out of a healthy chunk of their health budget during the swine flu hoax. Every year there's a new fake pandemic.
Almost makes you hope the promised pandemic finally arrives to take out the idiots who keep pump-and-dumping their antiviral stocks.
This is an accounting mechanism that forces projects to account for all costs Bourne by the corporation in support of the project. I suspect internal projects are also billed at an equal amount, but the bills remain internal.
If i'm following your Treadstone here, basically this high overhead accounting system is a gov't thing to do.
Fiat these days isn't backed by anything either. The Fed is bust, the US Govt is insolvent with no hope of repayment unless you just double the population of taxpayers overnight. The comparison between Bitcoin and USD comes out looking pretty good for the new guys considering you can't just QE bitcoins twelve times per term and surreptitiously tax all the savers by a further few QEs just for good measure.
That said, I'm keeping mine in AUD and happy with the way it's been going.
Lack of a poorly done touchscreen is a feature. OTOH the Yoga 13 I have is just fine and a serious upgrade to the old nipple and trackpad nonsense. The main objections - low res, TN panel, crappy responsiveness, AKA usual shitty Win8 touchscreen specs - aren't a problem with Yogas. Maybe Thinkpads are low-end because the market they're targeting isn't looking for Thinkpads or Inspirons. They're looking for Yogas now. Maybe Lenovo knows exactly what they're doing. I'd wait until the balance sheet is revealed before shedding a tear for the old bricktops.
Some info here. I've spoken with researchers in SA regarding this issue and it's probably less serious in NA, but we don't understand the ramifications of wind turbines enough to even guess at the full impact.
That's an unfair dismissal of a serious issue. The problem with wind farms isn't just the silly people surrounding it but the ecological risks and damage done. In NA our bat populations are critically endangered and being destroyed by the pressure differential caused by various wind farms, if you bother to count the bodies. It sounds OK until you realize that bats are incredibly useful, they pollinate more than bees do, they control more insect pest populations than anything else. A single bat can eat many thousands of mosquitoes in a night.
In countries with more wind farms the damage is magnified. See Costa Rica. If only more people even gave a shit.
There's no doubt this MS mobility tie-in will not end in spectacular failure + the butt of many/. jokes to come. And your sly sarcasm has not gone unnoticed either;) I too tell my in-laws that their new "pirated Windows 8" AKA Mint 14 is just like Win7 only using fewer resources *wink nudge* Oh, and any older programs that don't run anymore are being blocked for viruses.
There's damned good reason for fear, uncertainty and doubt in this case. Precedent set by Monsanto should be a clear warning that these things cannot possibly go as planned. I just hope the FDA gets eaten by a resurrected pack of gender-switching velociraptors before this travesty can grow legs.
Speaking of lobotomy, in the fifties there was a "lobotomy fever" in the USA, thousands of men, women and children had their frontal lobes severed in an outpatient operation. Until the fifties it was still normal to sterilize undesirables - again in the good old USA. And it really hasn't been that long since mainstream physicians prescribed Camels and mercury pills. Even today you're likely to have a dentist try to lodge mercury amalgam in your mouth if you go in for a filling. Some of them still think fluoride is good for you too. Mine gave out fluoride pills when I was a kid, we didn't know better back then but soon learned about dental fluorosis.
Given the spotty history of American medicine I guess you can expect a bit of reticence from people who have been bombed back into the stone age by American bombs and munitions - either in American hands or by American-sponsoredterrorists. Maybe it's understandable they'd have a few reservations about being jabbed for a vanishing disease.
You're obviously one of the lucky nVidia customers who avoided all the shitty laptop chipsets that cracked off the board because of cheap solder. Same issue as the 7/8/9xxx desktop series, except you had to basically turf an otherwise perfectly good machine. nVidia shit the bed on both sides in that debacle which spanned several years.

You mean big boobs gotta come with the big ass? I don't buy that argument either.
AT&T sounds a lot like Rogers Canada. Side note: the part about Hezbollah cloning Ted Rogers' phone isn't even a joke
I hope you added Monsanto and its spawn to your shit-list.

I'm sure a lot of people would like a copy in case they're missing anything good. Linkage?

CM is like H-D. If we have to explain it, you won't understand.

I'm pretty certain this new Argentinian dude isn't a Jew, nor of the lineage of Jewish priests, so these rules for the Jewish priests may not apply.

Those hurdles you mentioned are called "empty bank accounts" and by simply filling the right ones you can get the "correct" result every time.

Right, they'll let it live it until it threatens any MS property or initiative.
