In order to save my hope for humanity, I assume they do not actually believe what the oil companies pay them to say.

Accountants are still very much in demand. I worked in the energy sector recently, and they have buildings full of accountants taking care of lease and partner payouts from wells and pipelines. My brother's wife is a CPA, and she finds it impossible to be unemployed. As soon as it is even rumored that she may be out of work a line forms at the door to beg her to go work for them.

You have to ask yourself- if mankind is better off for it, why would it matter if we are no longer the top dog on the planet?

BIODEGRADABLE --- in 300pt font across the entire object

only in UV light --- in .0000015 point font on the bottom, on back, half covered by a seam, color matched to the material.

That's why. they are pushing them as biodegradable but not being very forthcoming on the limitations of that ability.

Because it still works would be my guess. Why buy a replacement when the one you have is perfectly good?

My emergency kit in the car has a plastic poncho from DisneyWorld. It is very bright yellow and highly visible. So what if it happens to have Goofy on it. I have not been to DisneyWorld since 1992.

We had to separate glass, plastics, and paper. The a truck comes around and dumps all three bins and the garbage cans in to the same trash truck without any form of separator.

And to induce more rage- they won't pick it up if it is not sorted properly.

My reaction, at first. Then i thought about the US calling it 'China Syndrome" and why it is called that.
Uraguay is opposite Japan on the globe.

I was disappointed when they took all the desktop and server OS out of DreamSpark. That was a great source of licenses for virtual machine learning environments.

Out of curiosity, how or why does it fail? UAC issues or drivers?

I imagine like any other small to medium business office looks like.

In order for a black market to exist you have to have prohibition. If all prohibition is removed, then no black market exists.
Of course, that cannot happen. Some things need to be prohibited.

Seriously, a line of test vehicles that every test driver loved and wanted to buy- likely the best test run of a vehicle model ever. All gathered up and destroyed, including millions in litigation to force the lease owners to abandon their purchase option.

Such actions reek of covering something up. So, statute of limitations is over. Spill the beans. Why?

I absolutely loved my A3D card. I was sad when SB bought them out then killed the line. It was a very promising technology.

"Microsoft C'mon! Seriously, it's not IE. We promise."
