It strikes me as odd that a celestial body can be drenched in hydrocarbons like that yet no fire. Here on earth all it takes is dry conditions for a few weeks and fires pop up all over. How can Titan be a ball of flammable substances which remains unlit?
So where are the worthy devices made by worthy companies? Personally, I still require my phone to be a phone, as well as being a networked computing device. So far nothing beats the Blackberry for real-world usage, IMO. Most of the people I know have Android or an iPhone, and they're all in search of charging outlets by early afternoon. Just can't see going back to that 90s-like level of utility, myself...
Oh! So Apple just wants to find another revenue stream from their own proprietary "solution"..... got it! It has nothing to do with "industry standards", it has to do with trying to create and force a "standard".
Another one wakes up (this has only been going on since the the dawn of computers). So now for your next step think about the fact that what you've just described is pretty much the whole point of most proprietary systems...
It wasn't the lawyer's public drinking that was an issue.
Yes, posting pics of yourself "getting hammered" makes you a "public drunk" in pretty much everyone's mind, and employers and clients do put your name in a search engine of they have any sense at all...
If you really have trouble configuring gnome or kde then slashdot probably isn't your cup of tea and this discussion is over your head. Buh-bye now, and thanks for stopping by! HTH, HAND, etc.
Of course one should consider that (1) photographic evidence of her drinking is online, and (2) the best she could do was "no fair I didn't say tags were allowed" for a defense, so most likely she's a mental midget who shouldn't be trusted to raise children. Lots of people can give birth, very few of those should.
320kb mp3 is good enough for the real world. I rarely get to hear music under optimal conditions on ultra high end equipment anyway, which is fine. Ears are like palettes -- educate them too thoroughly and you won't be able to enjoy anything after awhile...
Sadly, I'm not surprised you've been modded down to 0 -- nobody is allowed to criticise WikiLeaks here.
Or it could be he got modded "Off Topic" because his post is, you know, completely OT. "Troll" or "Flamebait" would also have been appropriate (for your post as well).
I don't use ubuntu but I support a bunch of people who do, and usually recommend xubuntu, which has the xfce4 desktop. Ubuntu users might want to get familiar with it now so that when gnome follows kde in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory you'll be undisturbed. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop for ubuntu or kubuntu users.
Next to fall was 32-bit Internet Explorer 8 on 64-bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1, beaten by security researcher Stephen Fewer of Harmony Security. Just as with Safari, the first contestant to attack the browser was successful in exploiting it, and just as with Safari, this was demonstrated by running Windows' calculator program and writing a file to the hard disk. Fewer says that the successful exploit required use of three separate vulnerabilities: two to achieve successful code execution within the browser, and then a third to escape Internet Explorer's Protected Mode sandbox.
So it appears you may be the one whose smugness is unwarranted.:D
Yes I understand all that, but the thing that trips me up is that I always hope that these discussions will be somewhat rational and fact-based. Whenever Apple comes up it's as if most people here completely lose their intelligence through emotional overload or something. Between the haters and the fanbois one can hardly participate without being assigned a "side" and painted as a one-dimensional stereotype. Factual observations expressed with attempted humor get modded "troll", trolls get modded "insightful"... Reminds me of that original Star Trek episode about Landrew and the Red Hour . "You are not of the body!".

What, by ruling that a router is not a computer? Yah, good job there dingus -- boy is my face red!
Then it's a good thing that's not what they're doing. What they have done is make PET out of organic waste material, rather than petroleum.
PET == PET, get it?

Hey -- "luggage" is my password, you bastard! Now I'll have to change it to "luggage99" or something. Thanks a lot!

Well I disagree with you so you must be wrong, LOL.

Dammit, just when I thought I'd gotten a handle on geography. Which Japanese country in the Netherlands is it again?

Spoken like someone who doesn't know how to configure wmaker. It's as fugly or beautiful as you make it. Fluxbox is extremely good as well.

Well, you sure fooled me then...
Kittens mewl. Robots might squeak, rattle, hum, or whatever but mewling strikes me as distinctly un-robotlike.

Perhaps a white hat grammar nazi can settle this.
Unless his time is worth nothing, it really does!
:D
Oh that was years ago he turned that bend!
FTFY
MOD CLUE: this post is both informative and funny.

Oh FFS, no-one "excused Apple from being hacked". Facts were presented, you don't like the facts, sucks to be you.
