Which is it? 500 watts or 35 watts? This summary and title are completely ridiculous, I can think of plenty of other things that are using more power in my home than a cable box. Refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, hair blow dryer, desktop computer, television, central heating/air conditioning, range (if it's electric), power tools/garage, home theatre system, the list goes on and on.
And how many of those things are on and consuming their typical amount of power continuously? If it's more than a couple, then I kind of worry about your lifestyle.
We also have several very good engineering schools, though I suspect that isn't what you or the post that you replied to were talking about. Despite that, I still think "most of the best universities in the world" is an overstatement.
Just tossing out a stray thought, but how much value would there be in having maybe one person at a Starbucks with some sort of culinary arts education/training? I'm sure it wouldn't be much, but it was an interesting thought I had.
Your Average Democrat Voter sees more Democrat votes coming across the border, so they love the illegal immigrants.
Isn't the only reason that they vote for Democrats is because the Republicans want to kick them out of the country? Aren't most Hispanic immigrants pretty conservative Christians? If so, the Republicans should be able to pick up a huge number of votes from them.
So basically, is Apple's CEO saying that Apple users are idiots?
Why do you think there's still only one button on an iPhone? For that matter, how long did it take Apple to acknowledge that users might just be able to handle a mouse with more than one button?
That's because English took a large number of words from other languages and kept the spelling from the origin language. It's easy to figure out a word in German because the word is German. In English, a word could come from German, or Latin, or French, or Greek, etc.
My completely unresearched guess as to where that myth comes from would be the idea that a large number, if not a large majority, of immigrants to the United States from Germany, Poland, and some other eastern European countries were Jews fleeing the Nazis.
In most parts of the world they have these 4 wheeled vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. They usually have a 12 volt output that you can plug a phone charger into.
What is it that's 12 volts? Hint: the answer is electricity.
The summary might have meant "electric grid", but using mobile phones without any electricity at all will be pretty tough to do.
I still use Kopete to connect to it, though I'm not certain if Kopete has any special handling for it buried in the source code. As far as I know, Pidgin also supports Google Talk.

What peer-reviewed evidence do you have to support the non-existence of a committee of seventeen gods
A committee? Well, that explains a lot.

If it doesn't involve lasers, flamethrowers and nuclear reactors, it's not a good was to toast a cheese sandwich.
Fixed that for ya

Am I the only one who thought this might be an announcement about Portland, ME?
Probably. Even in New England, people think of Oregon before Maine.

The more evil they are, the more I punish them by lack of patronage. If everyone did this, all corporations would be good.
s/all corporations would be good/nobody would ever be able to buy anything/
This Amazon circus just shows us the dangers with a monopoly where one player dictates what can be purchased and sold.
This statement works equally well with either side of the circus being the "one player".
I keep checking their site to see if they've started supporting my part of town. Still no love.
Why single out apple in the heading?
Did you even read your own subject line?

Djelibeybi was my first thought, too. What could possibly go wrong?
Or you can climb out of the hole, where Godzilla is waiting for a snack.
Arguments about the exact depth of the hole are a distraction from working towards a properly constructed hole.
The EPA has repeatedly acted and regulated various things without congressional approval for it.
Considering the level of scientific knowledge demonstrated by Congress lately, is that a bad thing?
Try and draw a picture of a horse using your keyboard... yea, you could pull it off, but it would be a total pain and would look terrible.
Some of us have great appreciation for ASCII art, you insensitive clod.

Jesus saves!
And takes half damage from the fireball.

Hell, even google talk ... er hangouts is ruled out now that there is no proper desktop client.
Google Talk is just XMPP, so any desktop IM program should support it just fine.
Better yet, that new-fangled XMPP thing.
They will deeply regret this once a weird error on a critical system pops up in a few years time, and nobody is around to give support.
Yeah, Munich is such a tiny little backwoods place that there's no way they'd ever be able to find someone who knows anything about Linux.
I'm surprised that I haven't yet seen that oft-(ab)used quote, even though it fits perfectly here.
"Intrinsic": I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
