Actually, my problem is more along the lines of $200 is a ridiculous amount to spend for something like that. The comment was mostly in regards to the person asking how much it costs. $50-$100 seems a lot more reasonable given what it does.
As for $200 not being much - that depends entirely on how much you make.
No, but this group said they would pay and so they should. Honestly, I do not think I agree with them paying for it either, but they did agree to it, even if they arent following thorought. Care to be any more ignorant while hiding behind the AC blinds Mr. Coward?
actually, I'd/never/ live in my moms how, and I'm posting from work. I could buy her one, but she needs to learn to be responsible for herself... Anyway, there are groups that/should/ be paying for that, but they arent. Oh, and please stop being an ignorat waste of skin.
think of all the people who get their checks mailed to them instead of direct deposit...
Wow, that check looked nice... Sure wish I could deposit it electronically.
They probably have something to allow you to get a desired item forwarded to you and not shredded, it's probably mentioned in TFA if I weren't to lazy to read it.
he complains about 15 options, but really there are only 7 options, but with multiple ways to get to most of them.
I find (in my own experience, I'd like to hear other views), people don't mind having a lot of options to do the same thing if they are "not near eachother". For example, there are two buttons on the start menu to turn of the computer (the power icon, and the "shut down" list item) - mouse/screen elements, a function key combo (keyboard elements), power button (physical button on the computer element), and closing the lid (physical manipulation of the computer).
The only two parts of these I can see people having a problem with are the two next to eachother on the start menu, which may cause some minor annoyances, the rest are really dissociated from eachother in terms of "method of approach".
However, 7 types of "shut down" could be annoying... switch, logout, lock, shut down, sleep, hibernate, and I forgot one. Anyway, the shut down, sleep, and hibernate, which are very similar, will porbably annoy most users.
As far as the project managment... 24 people + 1 year... That looks like an afternoon of coding for one person to me... Yeah, that's ridiculous.
doesn't change the fact that to be a geek, your IQ has to be higher than that of an average turnip. A requirement which she most certainly does not meet.

I second this. One of the members of a local open source club wanted to encourage the fairer sex to join. I was gonna send this as an idea for encouragement, then I got to Paris Hilton.
I've seen this on a lot of non-open source software, not just windows. Even free-as-in-beer non-open-source stuff. Just something to consider. By pointing out Windows as some kind of oddball case, it just tells me they don't read most of their EULAs
because they don't use light to detect either, they use the effect on nearby matter; which means their gravity, and not their size/light is what matters. Although someone mentioned that black holes also have a kind of "halo", which could also still be used. Also there is an accretion disk (I believe that's what it's called), around a black hole where stuff is getting sucked in. That would create a large and visible effect.
Nonetheless, a planet will make a star vibrate ever-so-slightly-and-slowly, whereas a black whole will make who masses of stuff rotate around it, and suck them in.
I thought Nintendo was taking a profit on the Wii while Sony was taking a loss on the PS3... So that would mean Nintendo needs to sell one to beat Sony, it Sony sells none, and doesn't need to sell any if Sony sells one.
That is if you ignore the profit from game sales, and look only at console sales.
at least as far as the evolution being affected by animal behavior. The behavior can change the environment, and hence the selective process, nothing new or surprising there. Now if it said that behavior directly caused the change (i.e. created mutations), I'd say that's controversial, but I find this is nothing especially exciting, even if it did get into science.

I'm so glad biologists don't listen to you...
Spiders are animals, sorry to burst your bubble.
yeah, I suspect the North Korean dictator is smarter than our dictator, just also more insane.
well, they are trying to punish him... Makes sense to me.
it's nothing against Segway, it's against their not-so-benevolent dictator. It's something he wants, so they are banning it.

My mom, who is blind, has been trying to get one.
They are around $200, and she does not have the money for that.
Working hard for you [to give us the money while still managing to give you the worst bang for your buck]
I'm not worried. Now if we were forced to subscribe to it, I'd be joining you in making the tin-foil hats...

Actually, Microsoft's SQL Servier is the only one of the three that actually has "SQL Server" in it's name, or even as it's name.

Wow, then I'm frickn' lucky, because most of my friends are "geek girls"

Yeah, that just insulted girl geeks everyone,
I figure that'll be done about 5 years after the teenagers in Michigan solve the worlds energy problems.

Not much; on a locked down PC, with proper precautions, that's really not much more of an issue in Windows than Linux.
