I'm quite happy in my civilized world, just don't think that finding a slice of free livable land away from civilization, or failing that, law enforcement, is going to be doable for most people. Certainly if there is free land around here it's mostly barren... I guess I could make the effort a la "Mosquito Coast" and carve myself out a little piece of jungle in some foreign land...
Censorship has always existed, you don't have the right in Australia to buy any movie that you might like, so it is thought that the standards of censorship should be applicable over all media, not just the traditional ones.
Yes, you and I know there is no workable solution to filtering the internet. But others aren't so sure. The thing that makes me cringe is the millions of dollars that are going to be wasted on this that could have gone to something useful.
Actually the interface for the ipod is it's major selling point. The wheel thing has made Apple a fortune...
They may or may not say intuitive interface, but they will say ease of use...
And the gear shift, automatic, manual, paddle shift, pre-selector etc... And the selector is sometimes on the steering column, and sometimes in the center console.
Yes, there are cars that have different layouts. I haven't done any market research or anything, but I'd guess that in 90% of the cars on the road today, and almost 100% of passenger cars being made that they all conform to:
Steering wheel in front of driver to turn (no paddles, levers or joysticks, although they have all been used before).
An indicator / light controls on the left or right of the wheel.
Wiper controls on the other side.
Foot pedals in a standard layout
Gear stick in the center of the cabin coming from the floor.
Yes I know there are cars with differences, I've even drive some, like the Renault 16, but the vast majority conform.
How cool would it be if DVD interfaces were consistent? People use inconsistent interfaces on DVDs because the alternative is??? ??
Car controls I think you will find generally conform to a few configurations, indicator on left / right of the wheel seems to be the biggest difference on most models.
If you think your tech support background is hampering your chances, just omit it from your resume. At least you'll have the same chances as the other recent graduates...
assuming that any hackintosh users must be pirating OS X is a rather condescending attitude towards PC users, and particular PC users who are interested in OS X.
Nah, it's just the truth, not that I don't appreciate your fair sentiments...
People need to learn how to analyze data for themselves rather than being told what the truth *is*.
I can see why he might have come up with this idea, but it's going to be counter productive. It's going to encourage people to think even less for themselves than they already do.
It's true because it had a good rating...

Hunter-gatherers haven't seemed to be able to deal well with things like fences and title deeds, it has been their ruin.
Carlsberg?
it's harder than you think to drop out, otherwise a fine post.
Where might this unclaimed land might be? I think you'll find that there is a lot less of it than you might think.
My favorite was the Daewoo Espero. I saw it while in Latin America, Espero means:
I hope / I wait in Spanish.
I guess I heard wrong. Fantastic! :-)
Peru at least went with windows
People don't stare at wrench handles all day. I think it's understandable that people want to customize their work environments.
Why did your boss make you run vista?

c) Power brakes and power steering means that braking or steering becomes very very difficult. Not safe...
Scary? Funny!
No, not everyone nibbled, but yes, many more people than nibbled are going to have to pay.

In two years time I'll still have the computer I bought two years ago, so yes it does matter...
$3150 is not a small amount of money, even if it is in Pacific Pesos (NZD) ;-)
