How much does a fry cook at McDonald's make in India? Cost of living a huge factor even within the United States so they are just throwing around meaningless numbers.
No more Sushi, no more Chocolate, no more Carrabba's Cozze in bianco. Now if it were something you could switch on and off I would be all for it. No more military chow hall food. I could list more things you wouldn't have to eat but that alone is enough.
Anyone who calls someone a troll and suggests they should be ignored all while not ignoring them should be modded as a troll. I was expressing my opinion that's what a message board is for. It isn't for agreeing with everyone.
I realized that posting on/. about./ might ruffle some feathers. But, you can't complain when someone makes the 'true cost of Linux' point when the article is about how much money it saves you.
I am a programmer. I have worked in both Windows environments and Linux. I couldn't get away without using the command line to do my job when using Linux. Was it because I had never bothered with Linux before? Probably, but if you know what you are doing in Windows you don't spend enough time with malware and I have never needed to do a registry hack.
Unlike Linux, aka 'Open Source' Windows better targets the everyman. The fans of open source love to laud how customizable an open source platform is and the fact that it is free or at least cheap. They forget two things, nothing is free, and you get what you pay for. Without blabbing on an on about the true cost of Linux you can just break it down to simple math. Windows 7 Pro will cost you $300 if you save a little less than 18 minutes a week not adjusting to Linux, not doing command line garbage, and not figuring out just what you have to do to install one particular piece of software the one of many versions of Linux your IT guy chose for the company Windows just paid for itself within a year*.

Mileage isn't good way to generate tax revenue. In your average medium sized town you could drive 15 miles to work and do it in 20 minutes. Now take LA, Chicago, New York, or any other large city and it takes more than 20 minutes to drive a lot less than 15 miles. Stop and go traffic and idling still consumes gas. It would be unfair to the individual at the very least to tax some poor guy in Montana $0.60 a day and the other guy in LA only $0.10 for their daily commute. It would probably be more difficult to anticipate revenue for both since there isn't nearly as much data on average commute distances as there is for average gasoline consumption in a given area. Finally you would have less of an incentive to drive a more fuel efficient car which would drive down efficient car sales and in turn slow down development of such cars.
Or you could take responsibility for your own problems. I don't mean drugs, that is just as bad. Each individual is going be different and needs to be taught how to focus if they don't fall within the norm.

Do Not Fart, the hot Texas sweaty gamer funk is already bad enough in their cramped office cubicles.
Steve Eves sounds like a nice wholesome 'American' name. If that much bomb making material were purchased by someone with the last name of say Ali or, I don't know, Megahed then they wouldn't have made it out the door of the hobbyshop before being arrested for being a terrorist. But, we would possibly be PC about it and never used the T word in the actual arrest.
It wouldn't hold up in court, any lawyer worth their salt could establish reasonable doubt that it could have come from any of about four seats. It could have been the person to the left, right or behind you. Nobody in those seats? Prove that someone didn't move to get a better seat. Are you going to have watermarking for the time too?
Even if you made this 100% infallible it would take all of about a week for someone to write software that could trim that watermark out. For it to ever be there it would have to be below or possibly above human hearing levels and before I stick the torrent up I would just have to scrub the video.
This game was just un-fun. I played during the open beta and it was 'fun' for the first night like just about any game. However, by the end of the second night it had already become a chore and there was no third night. Although I am a little surprised that it made this short of a run. Even Earth and Beyond nearly made two full years TR couldn't even make it for 18 months.
You can find secret information on wikipedia. After getting out of the service I decided to see if certain details were on certain pages and found the secret information. There is probably much more throughout the entire site that seems quite benign but it is still classified.
Why not come up with something along the lines of soy protein. Something you can grow that is renewable that can easily be molded and flavored into a food that people not from China or Korea are likely to find palatable.
This feature is already built into a single sock out of each pair and car keys. However, the cloak only works intermittently as one moment they aren't there and and next they are.
We are too busy making them look pretty. It is the same game as last year the gameplay is the same if not worse and you might if you are lucky have the same number of weapons. The only thing we added were polygons. But who cares? The previews in whatever mag/site you read looked pretty. Sometimes we might blind you with fancy things like branching stories. But, that is usually just black and white decisions like 'Burn Kittens' or save them. If you want a good game go for an indie game once in a while. We don't get to use pretty graphics as a cruch that way and might actually have to keep your attention with a game that is fun.
It would create a conflict of intrests. Would a company want to advertise on the same page that reveals all of their dirty laundry? If they went that route one or the other would have to go, the truth, or the money. They could try and be selective with ads or warn their clients that potentially unfavorable 'facts' could sit right next to their ads. Also this could make the admins of wiki more liable for the information held within since they are now directly profiting from the site.
Anonymity is a doubled edged sword. You can use it for good or evil. Instead of a blanket law banning anonymity why not be reasonable about it and ban it when it is necessary.
Whistle Blower Blog - Legal, your company did something stupid and now you don't get to get away with it. Instead of going after the person who exposed you maybe you shouldn't have done that in the first place?
Critiques - Legal, so someone thinks your product is crap, your advertising is misleading, and your testamonials are made up. They posted anonymously so they didn't have your lawyers breahting down their necks with copyrighted cease and desist letters.
Anon Cyber Bullying - Illegal, even when identifying yourself this shouldn't be legal it can and has caused personal harm to someone which means there is not right to free speach here.
The jist of it? If the anonymous posting causes bodily harm or is illegal then it shouldn't be allowed. If it is an opinion or the like it doesn't matter if the opinion hurts your bottom line it is still within their rights.
How are you going to enforce this anyhow? You can take measures to insure your anonymity remains just that. What are they going to do? Ask nicely that you identify yourself?
It isn't that we enjoy dying or enjoy not dying. It is the competition, if it was impossible to die then there is no fun. Without dying there is no win condition. You can mask 'dying' by saying you are merely injured or so other mechanic like clones in planetside but it really still is dying, the end result is the same. It wouldn't work too well in a multiplayer enviroment but in a single player game monitor a player using 'god mode' and never dying but doing plenty of killing and with the same game a player playing as normal. The majority of the test subjects would likely enjoy dying more than the ones who are not. There might be the initial burst of excitment for a player in god mode but it wouldn't last.

Before the first bot was mugged.
But what the news doesn't mention was the iPod was made from recycled SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2 DVDs.

First we had a computer used to render a teapot. Now we have a computer made to look like a teacup.
Single photons are a lot like single women in Utah. Most of them are essentially the same and inherently unstable.
But it sounds like a bunch of bull if you ask me.
