I'm wondering what this crap is about going to the home page. Nobody goes to the Google home page for a search, we enter our string in that little box at the top of *name your prefered browser* or we just type "g *search string*" in the address bar.
Hell, the last time I remember going to the homepage was when they had some holiday deal with their logo and I went to the home page to see the rest of it.
You know, this thing is cute and it does lots of wiz-bang stuff. So do all of these "smart phones" out there.
But what I would pay money for (not this much) is a phone I could sit on, get soaking wet with sweat (it's 95 degrees with >70% humidity here), drop on concrete, etc... and still have the thing work.
I, and most folks I know, need a phone to do two things: Make phone calls and survive my day.
Your arguement seems to suggest that the flood was the only time that animals went extint. The flood changed the world drasticly, including climate. There were probably lots of animals that were brought through on the ark that did not survive afterward.
The Museum's ministry focuses on the first 11 chapters of the Bible - those most disputed - which contains the flood. The havock the flood wrecked on the world accounts for most of the geological features we see today, including those interperted to be evidence of a million year old world.
I have always used opera and just kept firefox around for times I might want two browers up and running. Recently some patch to X broke opera and I was forced to use FF full time. I could not believe how slow the thing was. This is the same computer and same 'net connection I used firefox with back when it was first released. Opera has been updated a few times, with new features, but it has remained just as nimble and just as fast. Firefox is like wading through molasses.
For anybody else wondering what the hell Expose was. Sorry, but I've managed, with great effort, not to touch a Mac in almost ten years.
Now that I know what you are talking about, the expose-like features and the drop shadows (really helps my eyes) are the only reasons I've left Beryl turned on. I'm running it on Mepis 6.5, BTW.
It just seems like if you're going to be pro-personal freedom, the War on Drugs would be the first thing you'd want to get rid of, not the last.
No, not really. I think the current situation of the "War on Drugs" is stupid, but I don't want to get rid of it. I want to fix it. It's been proven that trying to get users off drugs or preventing them from ever useing them is the only place in the "war" that you get a positive return for your money. I do not think we should just open up the market for everybody to use any drug they can because their drug use (in many cases, I'm being general) does effect everybody else. Anybody want the pot smoking kid next door driving durring rush hour? Anyway, that is about the only place I differ with the Libertarian party, so when I talk about personal freedom, I usually talk about taxes, land use, gun ownership, etc...
You sound like you have fallen into the hype trap. Consider a few things. Bacteria do not develop resistance. The resistance is already there in a few - they survive and the population that expands from them carries the resistance forth. This, however, is cyclical. It is usualy the case that whatever makes them immune to one attack, makes them vunerable to another. Someone down the page is whinning that the drugs that were effective 2 or 3 years ago for his cattle now require 3 times the doseage to be effective. If he'll reach farther back, he will probably find another drug from 10 years ago that completely lost its effectiveness. If that drug were brought out, it would probably kick ass again. I have family members that are nurses and people doctors, my wife is a Vet, I work in the poulty industry where we use drugs on the birds and pesticides to kill bugs. In all of these settings we have observed the exact same senerio. the problem is the big guys - hospitals and the like - always want to keep these "last line of defence" drugs around. A much better solution is like what you do for killing bugs or rats - use a rotation of drugs.
So you mean only source of heat and energy for the planet is responisble for it's weather and tempreture? Wow. I bet these guys went to post-graduate school to figure that one out.
I've just got a new cell phone that's got more bells and whistles then I want or need. Included is the ability to read off numbers or names and have the phone understand me. Other than the word "yes" (which I don't understand) the cell phone has no problems. But I have never had one of these automated systems at businesses work properly for me.
Maybe the ire at haveing to talk to a computer comes out in my voice if it's not my accent.
I am amazed at the people here saying that these systems work for them. I have never had one work. There have been problems with understanding me (I try to speak clearly, but I am from the deep south and sound like it) but i've also had problems with the menus looping, or the "for anything else just wait" option wanting you to say something.
That was Amazon's this week. My particular situation was odd and didn't fit a catagory. I was given a list of 3 or 4 options and told to just wait if I didn't fit. I waited for a few seconds and then it said "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that" and kicked me back to the beginning of the menus.
I personally think these phone systems are just designed the way they are because they do not want to talk to people. Heck, look at Amazon. I love 'em (and prove it with my credit card) but until recently you coudn't call 'em and now it's not easy.
The way the RIAA and the courts have been going, probably the only way to *PROVE* you own some music is to win a court case and have the courts say that you do.
AH, no.
The wording of the current law only says federal funding may not be used on any new lines of embronic (sp?) lines. There is nothing stoping them from using federal money on existing lines or private money on new lines.
Except of course, realizing that their money is better spent on the adult stem cells.
Right. And the bio-tech companies, the ones that stand to profit from this, are mostly (not all) putting their money toward the use of "adult" stem cells because even if the "embryonic" can be used to do more things, its to dang hard to get them to do it.
The Federal government shouldn't be spending my money on what should be a private venture, but it sure shouldn't be spending it on something that the private industry is not putting it's money on.
what allways buged me about 'em was you had to send in your proof of purchace - then if you had a problem with the product later on you had given up your ace in the hole.
That and finding out you dind't get cash buy store credit (Bust Buy, D-Link router)
If I boot into Windows, AVG free is there - but I never boot into windows. Something that would be much more of an answer to the guys question is that I've got all the folks around me that ask me computer questions useing it. This would be a lot of people that have trouble useing the power button. You know, the ones that look around for the "any" key. AVG free works for these folks. In that Getting-Stuff-for-the-Parents catagory, user-friendlyness goes a *long* way.

Hey c'mon. It's gotta be easier than flying to paris and going through security to get into that vault every time you want to weigh something.

How the hell did the first post get modded as redundant?

Ya know, at first I thought this was going to be about all the Anna Nicole Smith coverage lately...

Sorry, when did our justice system become about helping the little guy? Even little guys can do Bad Things last time I checked.

When I saw rentmychest.com I was expecting a prostitute or a porn site.
And when the summary said sites that "tried to demand far too much personal data for too little benefit." I was expectign the New York Times
War Eagle,

What wacky stuff have you done that makes no obvious sense, but just works?
I assume we are supposed to skip the weird, funky coding it takes to make an otherwise standard webpage work in ie?
