Consumers preferring point-to-point air travel killed the A380.

Why not just regularly back up your machine? I wouldn't expect apple store techs to recover my data anyway if I had to bring in a machine for repairs.

Not true at all. Out side of progressive areas like major coastal cities posession of marijuana can in some cases be a felony offense. Contrary to what you have stated, people ARE arrested regularly for simple possession of the drug, almost always meaning very limited life prospects in the future.

9 mil is nothing to scoff at. Sell it and start a new company, or work out deal where you continue to work on the product if you simply cannot part with it.
All hypothetical of course =)

Re:Does anyone here run their PC without antivirus?

The only AV 'software' I use is Common Sense™. That and frequent backups have been pretty effective so far.
YMMV though...

on Thursday February 13, 2014 @05:20PM (#7234900)
The saying "Everyone should learn how to write" is the same sort of thing. It would be great if more people were able to write well, but the reality is one must put in some effort to be effective at any skill.
Should everyone learn how to code? It would be nice/cool if everyone did, but it is probably not plausible.

Re:Can We Ditch The Headphone Jack?

Cool I guess, as long as sound quality is not degraded.
On the plus side, something like this would probably take a lot of stress off the headphone cables when you accidentally jerk them.

Yep, at work we were going thru some old powerbooks prepping them for e-waste and the keyboards had that BO smell.
Apparently its the glue used in the keyboard, or something like that.

on Friday October 18, 2013 @01:35AM (#6569945)
Oh man, AT&T is my worst enemy. I have only dealt with their cell phone division, but in store and on the phone the customer service is awful. The manager at an AT&T store lied to my face just to get me out the door, as did a customer service provider I talked to over the phone.
The nickel and diming they do to their customers is crazy, and its kinda sad the competition is so similar (at least from what I gather from friends). Capitalism at its finest, right?

I guess you could strap a bomb to the thing and send it off towards the enemy. I could see it carrying ammo or other supplies to soldiers scattered on a battlefield.

I say take it, unless you are currently employed elsewhere. It can't be worse than unemployment, monetarily speaking. Plus, if you don't like the fit you can always leave (unless its a contract situation, etc).
