3) I won't check my (work) email from my home anymore. Anyone who wants to contact me can use a phone (and better have a damn good reason if it happens at 2 a.m. in the night).
Or worse yet, at 2 a.m. in the afternoon!
At some point there needs to be a push to ditch antiquated technology, because the average user has no clue that a change is needed. IE6 is still in use, should we continue to support it, just because it is?
Just for reference sake, her name is Tamara Hope. She's actually quite pretty.
Though I agree, I ask of you to suggest some numbers, some reasonable proportions rather than "much" and "reasonable".
Without knowing any physical characteristics of the person in question, their target weight and what their exercise regiment is like, assigning values is pretty pointless, and possibly misleading. Filling in "much" and "reasonable" is an exercise best left to the individual.
And you'd likely panic upon realizing that either the car refused to shift to park entirely, or did nothing useful if you managed to get it there.
Some random thoughts that come to mind, from your comments:
Who's to say that your views on morality are correct, or that you have the right to push that morality on others? You say "The Chinese government completely crosses the line in my book with respect to how they treat their citizens." How do you know how they treat their citizens? You've actually lived amongst them? Or you read about it? Did you hear about it on the news? Was it FOX, or CNN?
Let me ask you this - if a significant number of people from other countries decide that YOUR country is infringing on YOUR human rights, would you support action by those countries on your behalf, or would you tell them to mind their own business? Even if the people from your country don't believe their rights are being infringed upon by their own government, or don't think those rights are a significant concern, do you support action by those other countries, just because they cite morality?
Do you know, for a fact, your internet access isn't filtered? You assume it isn't, you're told it isn't, but do you really, really know? I'd wager the majority of people here can't answer that with absolute certainty. Given that, do you know your situation is any different than in China?
...bricked doesn't mean what you think it does. To claim a "large percentage of firmware updates actually brick the hardware" is pretty silly. To think you can brick a car is even sillier. At the very least, the back seat has uses, even if the car doesn't run.
The same way Forrest Gump got to visit Nixon? I don't see where they said the images were actual samples.
You need to dig a little deeper friend. All of the nice little things Microsoft did was part of patent infringement negotiations. The cash infusion, the agreement to continue making Office for Mac (the agreement was for 5 years) and Apple making IE the default Mac OS browser were all part of that. By the way - IE being the default browser meant Netscape wasn't. How very nice and generous of them.
They weren't being nice, they were trying to stay out of court. Saved Apple, indeed.
I'm urged to ask - what they did wrong, heck even REALLY wrong? The iPhone is an unmitigated success - with one product they've displace Nokia in its own market - a market apple has only been in for two years. iTunes is part of that success story. The ecosystem they've developed, Apps, Moves, Music and TV Shows at a reasonable price, easily accessed, is exactly why Apple is the success it is today. You may not like iTunes, and you may wish the iPhone was something it's not. But what on earth did they get wrong?
I see, so a 10 year old PC IS supported? Windows 98 is?
The problem is, you're equating a Mac (the hardware) and the OS (9 or X) and it doesn't suit your argument. My fiancee is running a nearly 5 year old iMac and loves it. It's running the most modern version of OS X it can (leopard) and doing a great job. A 10 year old mac can continue to run its original OS, or the earlier versions of OS X (mine is running Leopard, which is quite recent.)
Of course, that ignores the various Linux and BSD distros that run on older Macs, too.
Most people that are savvy enough to care, don't use their provider's DNS services. Those who aren't probably either don't care, or might even like the "feature."
