Or, there's the explanation that sustaining a city's worth of persons requires more than a city's worth of land. Logistically, how could a city exist occupying the entirety of the island on which it was built?
Personally, I'm of the opinion that the grid effect is some kind of artifact from the methodology of the mapping. Even so, I don't really think that a size argument is sufficient to refute that the image we see today may somehow represent ancient ruins or something.
Seriously - what did they do? Eat only fish? Boat in food from western africa everyday?
It turns off TVs, not the people watching them. 'S why it's called "TV B Gone." I thought it was a cool idea.
Then, you used words like malicious and stupid. Completely changed my mind. I can't believe that someone would have the nerve to turn off someone else's TV I mean gosh, don't people respect property.
it is silly that it has occurred to no one that perhaps this is simply a result of 'technology' playing an increasingly significant role in the workings of the world. But no, it's probably that theft is rising. Of course. It always is.
Actually if you look through his comment history you'll notice a significantly concerted effort to appear retarded. I'm pretty sure it's original work.
This is really all that needs to be said. While the icon zooming "feature" is admittedly a good function, I don't really think that Apple should be able to claim inventorship of something that could occur to, oh, any UI designer.
My mother is a patent lawyer and recently she's angry at the USPTO because they (presumably understaffed bureaucratic as usual) have rejected several of her clients' applications on the basis of originality, or obviousness, or specificity. Keep in mind that these are patents for like, chemical synthesis pathways and things. Things that required R&D at some point. I guess everyone, even the patent examiners, know who Apple, Inc. are though. And that's the difference I guess.
I'm gonna have to choose the person who couldn't reconcile that microwaves make things hot, ice cream is usually cold, and should ice cream become hot it will liquify. These are little bits of knowledge that many people have probably picked up by age, let's say, 12.
The person watching the ruining of the ice cream is "dumber" to you? I don't think so. Maybe unhelpful. Maybe even "mean."
Anyways, thanks for letting us know how it's a "Bad example".
Most people would rather pay to use MS Office over OpenOffice
Don't know how true that is. Openoffice is probably one of the easiest open source projects to use. Maybe that's because all word processors are kind of the same (page of "paper" as the workspace, function buttons)? I mean, Corel Wordperfect was kinda the same as Microsoft Office is kinda the same as OO. Imo.
Microsoft was lucky, then, in the years following XP's release that the prices of the ram that one had to "double or even quadruple" were falling through the floor.
I like your post, but I want to point out that Mr. Bush Sr. did not "have the guts" to raise taxes - frankly, he was forced to. Remember, "read my lips..."?
But yeah, at least Clinton left office with a surplus.
Bob Barr is no Barack Obama. I'm sorry, but you need to stop talking and back up some claims. The Presidency of the United States is not to be taken lightly, and I would gladly elect a 'corrupt' official if I wholeheartedly believed that they were qualified for the office. Right now, neither party is really exerting themselves to demonstrate that their candidate is qualified for the office, but at least Mr. Obama has his entire career (political and otherwise, quite impressive) under his belt.
I know I'm addressing but a fraction of the argument you're making, but you need to stop thinking in such simplistic terms. The "damage" Carter "did to us" in "just four years?" FUD much? I mean, in the previous sentence you actually had to just go lay it out for us - Obama is "dangerously close to him both in [...]." Dangerous by who's standards? I'll gladly read your arguments, but no thanks if you're gonna "help me out" and do the thinking for me.
As I recall we invaded and occupied no nations during the "years of fright." I personally wouldn't mind a Democrat as Commander in Chief.
Oh, very nice argument. I don't know about the peanut butter and jelly sandwich part, and I'm not going to go into how the President ought to be an executor, not maker, of policy - but you wouldn't want a constitutional law scholar making any 'actual policy?'
There, I spoke a bit of truth about 'their candidate.'
I'm in love with neither candidate. But, should we assume that it will come down to, essentially, a binary choice for the presidency between Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain, it will not be a hard decision for me. Not knowing either one of them personally, and being wary of campaign promises to begin with, a look into each of their respective career histories shows an interesting disparity. For a man who is very nearly 10 years older than President Bush, Mr. McCain hasn't really done jack shit. At least Mr. Obama's 'achievements' begin to demonstrate that he may, in fact, possess things such as ambition and a willingness to learn and better himself. I can't help but feel that Mr. McCain spent the better part of his days befriending the likes of Charles Keating Jr.
Sorry to break it to you but Ted Stevens has been in office for how many years? You're really just making the case for Obama being politician material.
Slashdot Mirror
Somebody at AT&T should be getting a pat on the back. He or she just helped the company dodge a Barbara-Streisand-Effect bullet.
Props, I was indeed looking for coordinates both on slashdot and in the bad article. Thanks.

All I could think reading those italics, was "queue music."
Malicious?

I'll bet he thinks so while he's driving around in his car(s).
Actually if you look through his comment history you'll notice a significantly concerted effort to appear retarded. I'm pretty sure it's original work.
It's too obvious,

LOL and apparently the country thinks that's presidential material! Or at least thought so, twice. Well, once if you discount Gore's popular victory.
Hey don't disparage the Anti Terrorism Training Manual we find it very informative.
I don't know what country you live in but here in the US i fund the pentagon PLENTY. I guess you're right though, I do not like funding it.
What's dumber?

and gamers are out buying the beefy PCs [...]
Maybe the bourgeoisie gamers are.
There are very few gaming-oriented PCs sold nowadays that even offer XP as an option.
Is this true? Tis a shame. I guess Vista is one's only route to DX10.
Microsoft was lucky, then, in the years following XP's release that the prices of the ram that one had to "double or even quadruple" were falling through the floor.
I don't know, he didn't mention having to mess with any "Debian Genuine Advantage" bs in the process he described.
Series circuit kinda cheap stuff, obviously.
Stay classy.
[...] all three legislative-related portions of the government (President, Senate, House) [...]
Good rebuttal imo. Even better grasp of government.
This is not a free speech issue [...]
and yet claim
[they] made [...] comments [...]
I think you need to get your story straight. Oh, and those comments would be tolerated in other settings, and you saying otherwise is meaningless.
I like your post, but I want to point out that Mr. Bush Sr. did not "have the guts" to raise taxes - frankly, he was forced to. Remember, "read my lips..."?
