Try reading the post I replied to, it may give you some insight. See, I was responding to another post, not starting a new thread. Welcome to Slashdot!
I'd rather not drink the "a third party candidate has a real chance" kool-aid either. Sorry, but it is still a choice between the lesser of two evils the way the current system is set up. If you want to waste your vote being idealistic go ahead. But throwing away votes does nothing to change the system. Get rid of the electoral college and go by popular vote and then more candidates may have a chance.
Thank you Anonymous Coward. I was on the fence before, but your post has convinced me to finally convert to Atheism! I can't thank you enough sir. Your insightful, non-judgmental, articulate post is a shining beacon into this dismal hell where we all live!
You can turn off broadcasting of a WiFi access point. Yeah, it doesn't make it invisible, but it does make it harder to find seeing it isn't screaming out it's name over and over.
I work at a University where we do medical research. All of our old hard drives get shredded into little metal bits in a big industrial shredder. Sometimes doing a zero wipe isn't good enough... Although one department has a huge electromagnet that has been used to make some old drives unreadable (damn Computer Science geeks).
He was an idiot. "Only mistake he made" - yeah right. He provided so many stupid quotes comedians could still tell new ones now and get mileage out of them. I lived through his vice presidency, so I don't need the "potatoe" story to tell me the man is a moron. I saw it with my own two eyes when he was around. And sorry, but if you know something to be true, and are such are too scared or are too stupid to trust yourself, then that IS a mistake, and a large one. So wipe the foam from Your mouth, coward. You can rewrite history in your own head, but don't try to rewrite it in mine.
Yeah. It's not like the good old days when all you had to do was dumpster dive in any department store's unsecured trash for credit card carbons. In the 80s that was what most credit card fraud stemmed from, even up into the early 90s. Then they finally got smart and either did away with the carbon copies, or shredded them before throwing them out.
That was Lennon's (typical Lennon) tongue-in-cheek answer because he was sick of the question. The non-humorous story is as follows -
In his second revised edition biography of the Beatles (1985), Hunter Davies intimated that Taylor told him the name was inspired by the film "The Wild One." A black leather-clad motorcycle gang is referred to as the Beetles. As Davies put it, "Stu Sutcliffe saw this film, heard the remark, and came back and suggested it to John as the new name for their group. John said yeah, we'll spell it Beatles, as we're a beat group.
or alternatively, -
The story is repeated once more in Pauline Sutcliffe's "BackBeat," (1994) with a slight twist.
Gene Vincent was going to be backed by the Beat Boys. How about "The Beetles?" One of the motorbike gangs in "The Wild One" was called that too. A brainstorming session with John warped eventually to "The Beatles" -- you know, like in "beat music."

Just because you have never personally experienced something, you can't have any knowledge of it? I guess all those male gynecologists should get new jobs then...
For a car you could have one 10 times the size of a business card, and build it cheaper because of that fact. There are already plenty of processors in cars. Cars are big and have lots of room for electronics.
I didn't ask why he did it. That answer is obvious. I asked what would the need be for actually using the device. I was hoping for something more creative, like running a web hosting business out of one of those Japanese "drawer-style" hotels.
Except for software. A lot of the new software coming out is designed for the Intel Macs and won't run on PPC Macs. So yeah, if you are using your old Mac with old software, you can get longevity out of it. But that is the case for every older system. If you really want to stretch your budget on an older PC, run a version of Linux with a small footprint.
"There are ethical rules that attorneys need to follow (some of which we follow, too). AFAIK, Thompson was acting contrary to many of those standards which are part of staying with the bar, hence his disbarment."
Jumping Jesus in a hopped up chariot. A lawyer being kicked out of the club for being unethical?
Isn't that like being kicked out of Aeorosmith for having a drug problem??
I mean, how bad would it have to be before a group of lawyers thinks what you are doing is too unethical?
That all being said I really think it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy...

Yes, I want an easier way! Where can I buy one of these automatic picking guns??
That depends on what your definition of "is" is.
The "tax value" and the "actual value" for an item may vary greatly.
I am replying to this on a stolen laptop running Ubuntu you insensitive clod!
"Scientifically speaking, not having evidence of something is as concrete as it gets"
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Go out and kill it now. Otherwise it will be liberating gay whales for Christ with Don Henley and Bono by lunch time.

That's what over-the-network backup and offsite storage are for.

Rip out the non-working AM radio, and put an abacus in it's place. Gives you a working "computer" and keeps with the style of your car.

Beetles are an insect. The Beatles name was inspired by the Beat poets.

Yeah, now that is an answer! Touché!
I didn't ask why he did it. That answer is obvious. I asked what would the need be for actually using the device. I was hoping for something more creative, like running a web hosting business out of one of those Japanese "drawer-style" hotels.
Which makes one wonder - what would I ever need a web server the size of a business card? I appreciate efficiency and all, but honestly...
