You have confirmed that you are a frothing jackass:
1. I have not been the victim of keying but have been with someone who discovered that his car had been keyed for no discernible reason. I am interested in learning how keying cars is beneficial to society. Is it OK if I practice on your car?
2. Combatting a perceived wrong with another wrong is the sign of poor character. Where is the justice in your approach? What is the incentive to act righteously in the future? Also, if you think that using vulgar language and caps lock helps you make your point, you should reconsider. Your rebuttal reads as if written by a ten year old.
3. Not everything is about Steve Jobs. My point is that keying cars is an absolute wrong. Let go of your rage already. Find some outlet and vent in a healthy manner.
4. If my post is truly "one of the stupidest things I've ever read" then I suggest you cut back on your internet forum activity lest you suffer (additional) lasting damage.
  5. Please try to have a pleasant day and refrain from raging on somebody's property.

My very large defense contractor employer had already arranged for acquiring machines from HP months before the news of HP abandoning the PC business broke. Two weeks ago I traded in a Dell D630 for an HP Elitebook 8440p. The Elitebook does not seem particularly elite compared to my 2006 vintage Macbook Pro, but it does look nicer and is thinner than the replaced Dell. I don't care for the 16:9 aspect ratio and the keyboard has very little resistive spring force, so I fat-finger far more often than on anything else, including ruggedized keyboards from iKey and the like. Also, why is it that only Apple laptops have a trackpad which has seen any progress in a decade?

Your question still stands, but the answers will be revealed over the next 12 months as large corporations execute their tech refresh strategies.

I don't care who is the owner of the car or whatever the offense is - keying a car is bad form. Many worked hard to design & build that car and its form is a testament to their efforts as well as the values of the car's owner. Keying a car only shows your defective character.

Basically same story here: Parents were too lazy to submit FAFSA (I wasn't assertive enough to see it through). Accepted to Rose-Hulman, ended up enlisted instead, which lasted 11 years. Completed my BSEE a few years after that, taking on a debt of $11K in 3 years of school including 1 very heavy summer term / 120 or so credits. Total bill was 49.5K (thanks, Montgomery GI Bill). Maybe I should have left after my first enlistment, but I had some great assignments.

Anyways, if what you want to do with your life requires a college education, then you'll find a way.

BTW, community college can get you part of the way to a bachelors degree for (sometimes much) less expense than a big school. I have attended classes at Monterey Peninsula College and the in-state student costs were very, very low (like eleven dollars per credit) in the late 90s; guess they still are low today. Schools in Ohio seem to be much more expensive.

To answer your first question, it seems good for Intel to make the CPU the bottleneck again, that way we finally feel the need to buy new CPUs. As for home use, my MiL's current, C2D 3.06GHz, iMac does not seem appreciably faster than my C2D (Merom) 2.33GHz Macbook Pro which I have had since October of 2006. My informal Handbrake benchmark (crunching video is my only real use for fast computer gear these days) is out of whack due to a recent switch to 64bit Handbrake and 64-bit nightly build of VLC, but they seem to be in the same league, definitely not worlds apart as a 3.5 year difference in tech should have yielded.

I have done some moving around as an airman, let me tell you that the heat in AZ is no joke. I was stationed in Tucson after a year in Korea (comparable to FL for humidity and heat in the summer, if you mean that the longest you may be dry is for 20 seconds after toweling off after a cold shower). Stopped drinking alcoholic beverages as I was not 21 yet. No joke, I arrived in Tucson in May and found myself hungover like all the time until I learned to carry water with me everywhere.

Ok, now get used to Tucson (110-ish) and visit Phoenix. Holy shit it is hot there! As soon as you see the signs for the Chandler exits you realize that there is a difference between the two cities. Saudi Arabia (Al Kharj) wasn't all that bad coming from Tucson.

Now I live in OH, and it is basically cold all the time (to me). Summers can be pretty humid. Winter sucks hard.

Because your argument against the iPad is basically a repeat of others' rants, and because the argument itself is just plain pathetic, I hope that in the very near future clothes with an iPad-sized pocket dominate so that for the next ten years you will be able to show us all how contrary you are simply by having an empty iPad pocket.

I agree. Surgeons are people, as are engineers, airline pilots, lawyers, nurses, construction workers, and pretty much any other kind of worker. Who cares if they are dishonest or make mistakes once every 200 tasks?

Back to the topic: I have never experienced dishonesty with Korean cab drivers in two tours and a number of side trips there. Regular cabs (not the deluxe cabs) are very affordable. US armed forces members take note: Korean cabs are less expensive than AAFES cabs.

My last tour at Osan I took a cab to base nearly every morning once there was enough snow and ice to make walking from the Korea Telecom building (very near where I lived) to the main gate. Also took a cab for every trip to the landromat. And on many other occasions.

Of course it helps if you speak Korean; it always blows their minds when a caucasian speaks their language. This means adhering to conventions of respect which are not taught in bars.

Well, it seems like you have found an opportunity for a new business. Good luck with finding free engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution services. Maybe you need to benefit from economy of scale. You may be able to expand your market by promoting free rock concerts at crowded subway stations.

Actually, Hello.c seems appropriate.

I wonder if the default output for stdio.h for missiles is the fuse?
