All things that can be done by outsiders, yes, or by the people themselves, once they are properly educated.
Oh yeah, why the hell are we even trying to feed or cure them, we should just air-drop laptops in their country and wait until they fix everything themselves. Never mind that they may not have the resources required to research AIDS medication, or reverse engineer them, or even manufacture them. Never mind they may not be able to build the drills they need to reach water. Education will solve ALL of their problems! Education does not automatically equal a good economy, look at Russia, Cuba, or Jamaica for example.
Subway and Jimmy John's are both fast in my experience (Jimmy John's is the fastest delivery around here to, sometimes less then ten minutes). Noodles & Company can be slow sometimes in my experience, but for the most part is fast. Pizza in my locale is at least 30 minutes (and that is on a weekday, weekends it is an hour at least).
In fact the "slow food" places like McD and Burger King are were you probably spend the most time waiting to get your meal.
I have heard several people make a statement like this and I want to know: where the hell are they are eating their other meals at? For a good home cooked meal it always takes me about a half hour to an hour (and even longer for roasts and some soups). For good sit down restaurants in my area it is many times a 20 minute wait for seating, a ten minute wait for drinks, and ten to 20 minute wait for food. At the fast food places it is 10 minutes tops, maybe 20 if there is a REALLY long line.
Interesting... everyone I knew didn't switch from Netscape or AOL (which their ISPs gave or sold to them) to IE until Windows 98... wonder why that might be?
I have to say I was awed by Morrowind - the first time I saw a Telivani tower and a Dwemer ruin. And Morrowind did do a little with the side-quests; most would effect your reputation and favor levels. I didn't think the main story was very weak, but I was not impressed - at all (but then again I haven't been impressed by an RPG storyline since Square on the Super Nintendo [Chrono Trigger and FF VI]). I thought the weakest parts of Morrowind were the story and the combat - but it is still one of my favorite games.
Ummm.... you know Nintendo has continuously had greater profits then all other companies in the console and portable gaming markets... right? They have been able to make money just fine in Japan, and have always managed to make money on system sales AND games. Plus theirs that whole Pokemon thing that was spun off into anything kids would bug their parents to buy for them, the returns on that one was practically like winning the lottery.
As a college student I can really see his point. When I moved onto campus the first thing that changed was switching to AIM as my primary messanger (my hometown used MSN, but EVERYONE on campus used AIM, but this wasn't a big deal since I use Trillian). A bit into my Freshman year I joined facebook, it was new and not many people on it now. Now EVERYONE is facebook. It has become more common to have someone look you up or ask to be looked up instead of getting/giving a number or an e-mail address to arrange meetings or a date, you will have people say "Just facebook me" all the time around campus. This isn't nearly as much as a fad as it is being made out to be here, this is a tool. It's an extremely useful school directory, while at the same time a popularity game.
I have to agree with you for older hardware. I have an old Pentium Pro laptop (133 MHz, 32 MB RAM, 1.01 GB HD) That I dual-boot Damn Small Linux (installed to the harddrive) and Windows 98se. I still don't have sound working in Linux, or any power-saving (which is nice to have a really freaking old laptop) while both worked with no problems on Windows. 98se also boots faster and executes applications faster. Now compared to BeOS on the machine Windows is very slow though, but for some reason I can't get BeOS working on it any more:(
Then they are not atheists, they are agnostics. From The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition: atheism n. 1)a. Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods. b. The doctrine that there is no God or gods.
Some can easily be broke with $100 in their pocket, it is called debt. And I have to agree that atheism is pretty much a religion (just like religion can't prove there is a good atheism can't prove there isn't a job). Agnoistic is what all the non-religious should be.
how about the fact that virtually every commercial software company is doing overseas outsourced development?
Not the software companies contracted by the military and DoD. All defence contracts stick to American companies and all work stays in America. Notice how Lockheed Martin and Raytheon don't have any international competition (in the defence department, Lockheed has international competition on its non-defence products). I am willing to bet all open source the government uses has been modified, with many modifications not made public (note the GPL requires you to provide source only to those you provide the binary to. If you don't provide the binary to anyone you don't have to provide the source to anyone, or if the gov has someone else do the work they don't have to provide the source to anyone but the gov).
Funny, yes. But on some issues the government does not fuck around, security of classified information being one of them. If were to leak something we wouldn't have to worry about anything, besides never hearing him post here again. He might have a hell of a lot to worry about though.
Actually you can still get away with this. If you write a check and put the date as a date when teh cash will be in the account you can do that. You aren't supposed to be able to cash a check until the date, so if someone cashes it early you aren't liable for the charge until the date on the check.
Every page for a stock I have looked at is real sharp, especially the board members with pictures and descriptions on mouse-over. The news following the time line, and the ability to move the time line with the bar and by dragging is good thinking too. I also like how you can follow the line with the mouse, and it will show the time and value of where your cursor is. The stock pages seem very polished to me, it is only the main page that appears to be quickly thrown together in my view.
Yeah, I was thinking Google was doing some sort of Quicken-like finance application, or a tax service (thought it was a little late to be releasing tax software though).
It wouldn't be yearly if it was only a year. If someone told me they have a yearly plan for anything I would assume it was one payment a year (like MMORPGs or X-Box Live year subscription type deals) or they have a plan that lasts a decade.
I don't know, I'm pretty sure Google^H^H^H^H^H^HSkyNet will attian self-awareness well before then. And I'm sure once the AI takes control of production it will be finished within a week.

Good question. Why everyone isn't on this guy's side is beyond me
Because some people think there are more important things, like curing/controlling AIDS, building infrastructure, and enabling access to clean water.
Isn't this agreeing with the parent?

Half of the season that consists of away games. Even more then that if your favorite team doesn't play in your state.

Dude, look at the speed. There is an implied flux capacitor in that equation. My memory is a little fuzzy as to if a DeLorean is implied though...
This isn't a gaming chip, this is part of their pro line. These are for CAD and rendering purposes.

To me, a 12-month plan *is* an yearly plan.

I note on that page that they're claiming the intel macs are four times faster still. I thought that had been utterly debunked by now
It still claims that on the US page too. Notice it says up to, and it is true that the new chips are 4x faster on some things.
That is assuming people want blu-ray players. Until most households have and HDTV I highly doubt this will be an issue.
