Huzzah for delaying the inevitable future, fuckwads!
How I read it:
Google isn't being allowed to use other's people's stuff to make money! That isn't fair! I like Google, so they shouldn't have to follow the rules just like everyone else! They should be able to do anything and everything they want!
This is just another reason for me to not want to buy Chinese made goods. Unfortunately, so much is made in China that it is nearly impossible to completely avoid the country.
So you only care about your privacy when you think you get something good in return? Your privacy doesn't seem to mean that much to you, it seems. You do realize that your data, that Google mines, is sold to companies that don't offer you those fancy services that you like? Some of them might even *gasp* use your data to send you spam that you really wish you didn't get! But hey, it's Google, so it must be okay to do it, right? Fuck the evil Microsoft, right?
This anti-Microsoft stuff is really old. Google is the new Borg. Time to replace pictures.
Ahh....Finally, I can read in peace. No one to bother me, just alone with my books. I wonder what I'll read first. I've always wanted to read War and Peace. Maybe I'll read that. I'll just grab it now...
Hey. Hey! I can't move my arms. Somebody! I can't move my arms! How can I read if I can't put the books in front of me? I'll just call over to somebody..They can't hear me! But its right there!
No! That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. There was all the time I needed... ! It's not fair!
I believe that the GP was using that to illustrate that, in the future, decapitation, lack of a heart, and lack of brain activity, for short periods of time, may be considered a routine procedure, and easily fixed.
To spoof this information? Could you have a bank of servers trolling the net giving unique browser identification information on each unique page hit, there by giving the impression that a browser is more popular than it really is.
I could see Google doing exactly that.
See, I can make accusations that accomplish nothing either.
Anyway learning X using X is how *everybody* learn his native language.
See, that's the mistake that Rosetta Stone makes. People seem to forget all those years in that place called school that solidify one's knowledge of language. I mean, yes, if all one wants to do is speak with no real knowledge of grammar, be unable to spell most complex words, and break into gibberish once in awhile, then yes, all you need to do is learn X using X. If you want to actually learn a language, you are going to need, at the very least, a translation dictionary, and at the most(though preferred, because of actual feedback), an actual instruction course with supplemental materials.
I was under the impression that historically, our radio and tv signals didn't even make it to Alpha Centauri. Unless we suddenly discover extra-terrestrial life inside of our solar system, does the switch to digital really change anything? Correct me if I am wrong, please.
Well, first of all, many paleontologists, most notably Jack Horner, believe that T-rex was actually a scavenger. As a scavenger, it was most definitely not at the top of the food chain.
Also, as far as I know, it was not decided whether chickens evolved from the T-rex or ostriches evolved from the T-rex. Ostriches do not have strong wings. They have powerful legs, though. Chickens can only fly short distances. Both have a heavier skeleton and weaker muscles.
Finally, I am not quite sure you understand just how long 65 million years is. The split between chimps and humans is thought to have occurred between 5.4 and 6.3 million years ago. (Note that I never said that we evolved from chimps. We simply share a common ancestor.) That's a long time. However, the time between then and now could fit 10 times between the KT boundary(the end of the dinosaurs) and now. That amount of time is pretty much unfathomable amount of time for most people. And you mean to tell me that it is impossible that chickens or ostriches evolved from the Tyrannosaurus rex? Creatures evolve from other creatures depending on their environment. If the environment calls for smaller creatures, and through mutations, smaller creatures are born and able to survive better, then those creatures are going to survive, while the larger, less suited creatures die off. This isn't a quick process. It is also not suited to large populations. The smaller the population, the more likely that those traits that are helpful will consistently show up in offspring. A small population, such as one that was likely found just after the KT boundary.
I can feel myself going on an evolution rant, so I will stop now. Just remember that hunches and wild theories mean nothing without valid, peer reviewed evidence. I will gladly take science over guessing games.
Around 65 million years ago, dinosaurs went extinct. The assumption, based upon fossil evidence, is that many types of dinosaurs, specifically the saurischian superorder, evolved into birds. While the ornithiscian superorder is called 'bird-hipped,' referring to the hip structure, it is actually the saurischian superorder which evolved. As the saurischian superorder evolved into birds, the evolution of the hips of the various species resembled the ornithiscian hips more and more.
Collagen found in fossils from the Tyrannosaurus rex have been broken down and analyzed on a spectrometer to find its amino acid content, and researchers have found that it is similar to that of chickens and ostriches.
Basically, that chicken you had for lunch today is the great great(insert remaining greats here) grandchild of the T-rex.
Note that I am not a paleontologist, so I can only provide limited information regarding the exact details regarding the change.
I took a look at some of his other 'art' on his website.
One of his pieces of 'art' is a dollar bill acceptor on a plain white wall. Once $10,000 dollars is reached, the money is split between Larsen and whoever owns the acceptor. Then it starts again.
Another piece of 'art' was the purchaser of the 'art' assuming Larsen's credit card bills.
Another was a 'donor plaque', in which the more you gave, the bigger your name was on the plaque.
All of his newest pieces of 'art' just seem to be money makers for himself that prey on people who want to seem like they are hip to the 'art scene.'
That was my mistake. I have too many things going on at once. Perhaps I should pay more attention to my responses before submitting and potentially making a fool out of myself. Consider me duly chastised for my mistake.
So what obscure file format do you have them use? For you to call the basic.doc file format obscure is asinine. If you were to ask most people on the street what a.doc file was, they would be able to tell you that it is a document file. If you were ask most people on the street what a.ooo file was, they would look at you with a blank stare. Who is using the obscure file format?
Perhaps, if using anything associated with.doc is that distasteful for you, you should have your students print out their assignments and simply hand them in. That way you could read them no matter what file format the student chooses to utilize on their computer.
Or the 'powers that be' would just realize that everyone was lying, and they would start just checking everyone again. Or they would start requiring proof. Also, the Bar Association would not like everyone claiming to be lawyers, so it would start issuing IDs for actual lawyers.
Also, just because everyone claimed to be a lawyer, doesn't mean that everyone would start going into law. You forget that most people are lazy.

So you don't think that Google benefits financially from the same thing?

The same reason that you yourself could not bring yourself to just give up the IE-bashing. Some people are idiots. Including, it seems, yourself.

Wait - you say that like pissing off (or on) the US and the MPAA is a "BAD THING". I don't see it, myself.
Who pissed in your cheerios this morning?
I'm surprised the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago didn't go for it. This is right up its alley.
So what's this I hear about flying cars? About time, I say.
design the cannon like a thermos bottle as sounds require a medium to propagate which is why in space no one can hear you scream.
So your going to have explosive pressure on one side, huge water pressure on the other side, and a vacuum in the middle?
What could go wrong?

You can even make tabbed homepages, if that's your thing.
Man, that was hard.
