I would never personally "buy" a pet from a pet store - that is the only time you are really "paying" to "buy" a pet.
Many of the more responsible pet stores either won't sell pets at all, or have an arrangement with a local shelter or rescue organization. I actually volunteer with a local cat shelter taking care of the cats at one of our local pet stores.
It's a win/win situation. The store gets - Goodwill for helping pets get adopted - Sales from new adopters who need food, toys, etc. for their new pet. - More possible customers for people who 'just want to come in to look at the cats'
And the shelter gets more exposure which in turn leads to more adoptions.
I've my had computer speakers pick up weird patterns of interference just before receiving a cell phone call or text message. There's also gadgets that detect when you're "about" to get a phone call.
I don't think this is a case of 'predicting the future' as much as it is subconsciously understanding what the radio waves mean. It just takes your phone a moment longer to acknowledge that it's really a call and not interference or something.
Nokia would have a reasonable chance as they did a lot of development recently and could easily put together a gaming platform (hard and software). They have another problem though: they don't have much reputation in the gaming community (as they would be pretty much newcomers) and they don't have the games.
Nokia has plenty of reputation in the gaming community. It's just a reputation they'd rather not have.
Unlike many companies, however, they managed to keep the marketing, usability and design worms (that is, untalented people) out longer than many places do.
If the source for the GPL software is unmodified and freely available from other sources why should the vendor have to duplicate it's availability?
I'm going to guess it's because it's a lot easier to require that each vendor distribute the code than to come up with an effect-but-byzantine, legally-sound method of requiring the vendor to determine if the code is "freely available from other sources" before requiring them to make it available themselves or not, as well as regularly checking to see if the same situation is true in a year, five years, a decade, etc.
I believe the latter half of this is exactly the reason that provision is required. If you rely on other sources then locating the source code stops being feasible if those other sources cease to exist. By distributing the source yourself, you guarantee that it remains available for at least as long as you are distributing the products that use it.
Maybe that's why we threw it in the Atlantic and now vastly prefer coffee.;)
This is pretty much how the story of tea in the US goes. Something along the lines of "Well, shoot, now that we don't have any tea NOW what do we drink?" Coffee was found as the substitute.
I worked at an alternative school where one of our students DID have a peanut allergy -- severe enough where just smelling peanuts from someone who walked by eating a PB&J was enough to set off an allergic reaction.
While we didn't outright ban peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, there was a fairly large portion of the campus designated as a 'peanut-free zone'. But this was at a school that had a large amount of parent involvement (and thus parents supervising their own kids.) I can certainly imagine a regular public school banning PB&J sandwiches to avoid causing a reaction if someone with extreme peanut allergies was in attendance.
If you want a t-shirt and you went to PAX, someone is selling these.
This definitely qualifies as the worst swag ever, though. (I'm fairly sure I have it, though I haven't been to a doctor to have it confirmed.)
The symptoms don't seem that bad compared to a regular flu, except the fact that I'd rather lie down in bed and sleep than even play video games most of the time.
When you have the ability to evaluate millions or billions of possibilities simultaneously, sniffing out the private key used in asymmetric key cryptography is no longer a seriously time-consuming endeavor.
Current cryptography doesn't work on the premise that it can't be cracked. It works on the premise that it can't be cracked within the amount of time it'd take for the data being protected to still be useful.
If you want to break the speed limit excessively to pass someone safely (which suggests they're going very close to the speed limit already, or there is otherwise very little time in which to pass), then I humbly suggest that you in fact are the main safety threat in that situation.
This isn't always the reason you want to pass someone quickly.
I've seen people driving relatively slow, but eratically on, say, a 3 lane highway. Usually, I want to pass them (because they're going slow), but since they keep starting to come into my lane, I'd rather keep the amount of time my car is anywhere near theirs to a minimum.
I'll do the same thing with semis sometimes -- if there is one next to me, I'll lag behind it until there's enough space in my lane to be in front of it, and then I'll pass. I don't like to be stuck next to someone that's hugging my side of their lane or, worse, coming over.

Yes, and this is the song they want you to be good at.
Your C.O. will be Captain Jack.
Well they want to make sure that prospective humans they hire have ample... ermm... resources.
I don't usually reply to signatures, but since you asked:
[My english is better than most other people's german, so please point out mistakes politely. Thank you.]
As proper nouns, being that they are the names of languages, English and German should be capitalized.
Have a nice day.
You mean like Lake Forest Park?
And if they publish a story claiming all of their stories are false? What then?
Mebi? Or mebi not.
But there's already been a funeral...

What if you have a minor illness that isn't really treatable but will go away just fine on its own?
Just thinking that you're taking something will make you feel better, and making you feel better is the doctor's job isn't it?
