At the same time how I started using Firefox was as something to just test out. I played around with it in the.7 days (when it was Firebird, shortly after their name-change from Phoenix). Fast forward a couple ears and it had replaced IE for me. Now I have a Mac, and Safari has begun to be what Firefox previously was for me, and I can picture myself switching to Safari as my main browser in the future.
The problem is within profit there are very different ideologies. The choices for long term profit are different than the choices for short term profitability. There are varying and competing ideas of how a company should expand: should it invest in other fields? Should it open new branches? Should it buy competing branches? Should it try to integrate vertically or horizontally? There is not enough pork to go around, especially with the interest of Time Warner (with their cable investments) is not in the interest of those with heavy investment and ownership in the telecom industry.
Read my entire post. Even when you get past that ideology by focusing on profit the candidate best for the business of News Corp is not the candidate best for the business of Disney is the not the candidate best for the interest of GE.
Okay, I think there is some merit to what your claiming, but I would like to ask you a few questions. Why do media groups with opposing ideologies pick the same front runners? Who is it that makes the choice of who is to be the front runner? If it is in commercial interest, wouldn't there be competition for which candidate would be best for each empire (for example a candidate good for News Corp wouldn't be good for the Disney or GE media empires)? How do these empires agree on the front-runners?
And again besides wieght the MacBook has better specs for the price than the Dell. After adding the 2.0 Ghz Processor, 1 GB of RAM, a bluetooth module, and putting the harddrive to 80 GB it comes out to be more expensive than the MacBook, although not by much. And after all the included Dell Reminder and Trail crap that came on my last Dell I am a bit hesitant to go with them again. Also the MacBook has added perks of the Apple Remote and a built-in webcam (not things I am to concerned about, but that tip the scale if it is exactly equal with another model).
If I had the budget for one with better specifications I would do the Thinkbook, but $1,000 is at the very top of what I have budgeted. I was looking at a smaller, lighter refurbished Gateway (MX1027) at just under $800, but decided that the extra $200 was worth it for having new hardware, having the Apple Warranty, and having the better specs. I would take a good Thinkpad over the MacBook Pro, but both are way out of my budget.
I don't know, I use the term retard very loosely, but never regarding the mentally handicapped. I think in many areas the word retard has evolved to be interchangeable with stupid (kind of like how dumb used to mean mute but is no longer interpreted as such). In my area retard is no more offensive than dumb, stupid, or idiot. Of course context is key, if used in conjunction with the Special Olympics, or something similar, everyone will react like you just confessed to being a Nazi.
The only Thinkpad in my requirements and price-range is $250 more than a Macbook, with a slower processor, smaller hard drive, and doesn't include bluetooth. (The X60 is $1,251.75 at sale price, and the Macbook is $1,000 after student discount).
At least their Macbooks are competitively priced. I am currently pricing laptops, with a focus on portable, and I have found nothing with close to the bang for the buck as the MacBook, the closest I've found are refurbished machines with Core Solo chips (however my requirements include a screen under 14" and the weight to be around or under 5 pounds. My bang for the buck analysis also takes into account student discounts, which some manufacturers don't have. I have found if I was willing to go for a 15" or larger everyone and their mother in the industry makes a laptop that could compete, but that isn't portable enough for my needs).
I don't see food prices spiraling out of control. I can still buy a loaf of bread or a double cheeseburger for $1. Milk always bounces around, but hasn't been that high. Potatoes haven't changed much and bananas are still dirt cheap. Housing prices have been falling in many areas around me (I believe all around the country real estate has shifted to a buyers market). I'll give you healthcare and education, those ones have been a bit out of control, and energy has been bad in some places, but overall I would not say things are in that dire of a situation.
I remember using Sub7 in High School, a friend and I infected an entire computer lab and would mess with random people during our computer literacy class. My favorite tricks were the flipping the monitor image and the matrix-screen thing. It lasted a few months before the anti-virus started detecting and fixing our backdoor. A couple years after I graduated a kid was expelled from my school for doing about the same thing, so I'm glad we were never caught.
Could the difference be due to idling time? Maybe the car doesn't account for time in park and idle, while your calculations take into effect the gas used during this time.
PSone was actually a hardware redesign, and not portable or with an LCD screen. It was tiny, and there was a battery and screen add-ons you could get, but the PSone is simply a really small Playstation with a new look and logo (I have one, it says PSone on the top so you can't say it wasn't what Sony called it).
the console itself is not that good, it's basically PS-2 generation horsepower and video.
Two nitpicks. One is the PS2 had the lowest horsepower and video of the last generation. Second is I am beginning to suspect this is not quite true. When playing Wii boxing I noticed a few things that make me think the Wii is packing some serious shader power. Next time you play Wii Sports try out boxing, and notice how there are a large number of screens showing what is happening in the ring, notice the lighting on the audience, and notice the sweat, blur, and wave effects that happen while punches are thrown. There are quite a few processes going on there, in addition to the motion sensing, hit detecting, and AI. I think don't think developers have even started to touch the limits of the console, and I think their ceiling is a lot higher than most people think.
In most MAJOR emergencies I don't think it matters too much. What good is a exit sign that is on if it leads to a stairway that is on fire? What good is an exit sign that got sucked up with a tornado? In major emergencies people will get lost and trapped no matter what. This should help emergency evacuation and lock-downs in non-major events, like chemical spills or small fires.
As I understand it the case means Kaleidescape can sell machines that store and re-transmit DVD data you give it. As I understand it the thought isn't you are ripping the DVD, the thought is you are using the Kaleidescape server (which happens to rip the DVD, which Kaleidescape's contract allows it to do).
The problem with this creature construction from a bone is pretty much all dragon representations were lizard-like. Why would Europeans chose a lizard-like animal from all choices? When your slaughtering cows, sheep, lambs, goats, and pigs wouldn't you chose one of those? If you chose something more menacing wouldn't it be some sort of wolf or large cat?
What other president lied to start a war that has killed more than 3000 American troops?
Well there were lies told before Vietnam (we didn't even admit we were there for a long time). There was also lying that led to the U.S. invasion of Cuba. And the U.S. invasion of Mexico. And Panama (okay, so we didn't invade Panama, but parking our gunboats in a way that blocked Columbia from a chunk of their own territory is close enough for me).
What other president's administration has called the Geneva Convention "Quaint" and "Obsolete"?
Seeing as not many Presidents even had the Geneva Convention, I will ignore this. If you look at the spirit of the Geneva Convention though you will find many presidents who would be in violation if it existed in their day.
What other president has actually defended torture?
See the CIA, and every President since 1947.
What other president has overseen the arrest of innocent people (there have been "enemy combatants" released with their charges dropped), holding them for years as "enemy combatants" without any right to habeas corpus?
Are you serious? Do you remember this thing called Japanese internment camps? Ever look into how Abraham Fucking Lincoln had some of his opposition jailed for being his opposition?
What other president has overseen warrant-less NSA and FBI wiretaps?
Well seeing as the NSA was the agency involved with ECHELON, I would say at least every President since the early 1960's.

Did you not read the summary? Seriously, it is at the end of the FIRST PARAGRAPH.
After profit, there's very little ideology left
The problem is within profit there are very different ideologies. The choices for long term profit are different than the choices for short term profitability. There are varying and competing ideas of how a company should expand: should it invest in other fields? Should it open new branches? Should it buy competing branches? Should it try to integrate vertically or horizontally?

Your step three is missing...
I personally use compose-key - apostrophe - e. But that assumes one is using Gnome and has set the compose key properly.

I don't know about screen saver, but know BeOS had a program that did this.
