Sorry to post again, but i'd also like to know where you found that the two main professions in the USA were Lawyers and real estate agents, i could not find this anywhere either (actually looked through the Occupational Outlook Handbook for something, to which i could find nothing)... Please back this up, because quite frankly this sound like entirely BS..
By no means am i trying to troll here, but i would love to see links proving that the united state imports the majority of its food. But i will be the first to admit that i live in a highly agricultural state (illinois - granted, not population wise, but land consumption wise), and with the united states offering such incredible tax grants, they definately make it seems like we're feeding a good amount of the world.
I was definately under the impression that the us exports alot more of their agriculture then they keep... again, please show me links, i'd love to learn more if i'm wrong.
... or a misunderstanding. 1 MHz is currently in use by terrestrial AM broadcasters
Yup, they are saying that they plan to issue either 2 overlapping 3mhz licenses, or 1 3mhz license (for internet/data), and an additional 1mhz license (for verizon).
Where would the display be for that? it'd kinda be a hinderince when that padlock pops up over the show your watching wouldn't it? I dont see how you could make this remote without having its own screen (probably similiar to a nano?), and i know for most people thats to complicated for a remote.
From LaTex-project.org: LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.
Funny you mention that actually.
I ordered an iPod Nano just a few weeks ago. When apple sent me the tracking number, I looked it up. It was shipped directly from China.
I have to agree that quality is just what you want it.
Wow, this has definately enlightened my views, but I still find your analagy's a little off.
First, I've never considered/. to be like microsoft or any other, apparently they are, and for anyone looking at them in this light, I can completely relate to your point of view.
I guess I always saw the dupes as just a petty annoyance, and I've always just lived with it. I've also never considered all the content provided by everyone, which/. does absolutely nothing as far as reimbursment goes.
Reflecting upon this discussion, if you do consider your posts and comments truely to be worth something (which I do agree that they make up 99% of the content) then I suppose that the ad-revenue they generate is actually in fact in additional income for them.
In hindsight I have read slashdot for many years now, but never bothered registering or posting because the content was much better. If the only way to improve the quality of the site is to boycott, then I guess I should probably join the bandwagon. I just get frustrated reading all these complaints that are modded insightful, when I really just want to read and discuss TFA and any spinoffs directly related.
I just dont understand the mentality of "Lets go out of our way to not support this place, because they do a few things we dont like"
Sure, dupes are annoying, but to say you avoid clicking the ad's even when they apply to you is effectively boycotting a web site that you use and enjoy.
I guess people just expect everything for nothing.
Are you seriously that self centered that you can't even support a site that you use. Nobody is asking you to be here by any means. I've never in my life heard somebody bitch so much about something that is completely free to them. It's one this to say that you won't pay for a subscription, but to be such an asshole as to go out of your way to not support a site you use, thats just bullshit.
You, my friend, got to be one of the most selfish assholes on this forum. You should do us all one better and stop posting as well.
Are people besides you and I reading this post gonna care? Is my grandma gonna care that her brand new Dell came with an Intel processor that can't perform up to par with AMD?
Actually, Yes.
It's the association to AMD's other chips that matters. If joe shmoe goes into a best buy and sees two machines, the same speed (i.e. p4 3ghz vs athlon64 3000) He's going to remember that amd won with a specific chip, and the rest of the chips will look better in comparision.
It's like in cars, Chevy builds the corvette, not because they are going to sell tons and tons of them, but because by making that nice (and fast) car, all of chevy's other cars receive a big boost in rep through association.

If it was theft wouldn't they just have the police reposses it for them? I couldn't agree with the parent more.
