A tripod sprinkler. Seriously, a tripod sprinkler with telescopic legs.
I agree with the patent office worker in this case, maybe the lawyer should try and patent a method of getting a patent application rejected, consisting of plurality of idiotic patent application and an angry letter by the said lawyer to the patent office.
Absolutely, this is akin to trying to patent the pencil. I am sure that I have seen similar things if fields for years!
Among other things 3.9 includes experimental kernel-level Raid 5 and 6, caching slow of storage devices by fast ones, support for more graphics cards and audio devices, as well as improved power management.
"A" level managers tend to recognise and hire "A" level people.
"B" level managers tend to hire "C" and "D" level people or they hire "A" and "B" people and dumb them down (as in their assigned tasks) to nullify them.
"The cost to construct one lane-mile of a typical 4-lane divided highway can range from
$3.1 million to $9.1 million per lane-mile in rural areas depending on terrain type and
$4.9 million to $19.5 million in urban areas depending on population size."
I would see $50,000 as a drop in the ocean. Of course if it is a bribe to get that particular road prioritized then it could be a very effective drop...
If church attendance is your metric, then the UK is an overwhelmingly non-religious country.
In the 2009 British Social Attitudes survey 50.9% said "no religion", 19.9% Church of England, 8.6% Catholic.
That contradicts the 2011 census, mind you, which says 59% Christian (with no published breakdown of denomination). Must be slightly differently worded questions.
I think that part of it was probably because the question was voluntary in the census. Some agnostics, and people who might feel an affiliation to a religion but not believe it, would probably have not answered rather than picking the rather definite sounding "no religion".
Cue all the problems that AOL had when they tried to censor the internet for their UK subscribers: Blocking of breast cancer awareness sites, Penistone council websites, and so on.
Do any other carriers offer LTE? If not you are still stuck with taking what AT&T will give you as a package. All you have done is saved the trouble of their preinstalled software

Will this grocery delivery service discriminate against "atheist" foods?
Seriously I would be much more worried about kosher foods if a Muslim was driving

Yes, they have.
Well by Betteridge's law no they haven't.
Thanks, I hadn't picked up on that

Catch up to Windows already !!
Only if you count 1, 2, 3.0, 3.1, 95, 98, 3.1, 3.5, 4, 2000, XP, vista, 7, 8
Computers used to be a lot bigger.
But the largest computer ever built (physically) executed only 75,000 instructions per second, and had 70k of memory (though that was 32 bit words")!
Well, yes and no.
"A" level managers tend to recognise and hire "A" level people. "B" level managers tend to hire "C" and "D" level people or they hire "A" and "B" people and dumb them down (as in their assigned tasks) to nullify them.
But I'm a D level manager you insensitive clod!
The EE replies: 'You said all the resistors are in backwards, so I'm putting them in the right way.'
But surely even an idiot would have known that if all the resistors were backwards all he had to do was put the battery in the other way round.
Surprisingly, there's a "Morningstar Christian Bookstore" near where I go for "big-city" shopping.
I'll stick with their newspaper thank you very much
If you eat this, will your shit glow in the dark?
Brings new meaning to "he thinks the sun shine's out of his arse".
I can just see the creationists saying "we always knew hell was down there"!
Apple are hypocritical thieves, nothing more, nothing less.
Just a typical corporation then

Also, avoid accidentally poisoning your liver with meds or mushrooms, and stay off them bad genes. No sex, and no blood transfusions either.
While at it, we could simply stop all transport accidents by telling people to not crash their vehicles.
Or just tell them not to drive

UK and catholic ? Really ?
If you count the number of people/services attended then yes.
The problem is that the Gnome guys "broke" Gnome.
And the KDE guys broke KDE....
And the HURD desktop guys broke .... oh wait

Another white people problem solved by other whites.
How about accomplishing something meaningful for minorities for a change?
Well they're doing something for the muslims
Homeowner: "I can't even figure out which end is up. Is this the back panel or the side panel? Or neither?"
Robot: "Searching... here is... IKEA instruction video."
(later)
Homeowner: "This f***ing thing is missing some screws! How am I ever going to find the correct part?"
Robot: "Searching... here is... IKEA customer support number."
Homeowner approaches robot with screwdriver: "I think I've just had a better idea!".
Turing test passed!
Only if it shows frustration and regularly emits swear words like "what a piece of shit, the fucking holes don't line up".
