This advert remind me of the "Like a Golf" adverts by Volkswagon... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njuGmIs_a4k

They don't in the UK either, sometimes you need to register them (and supply the same info when purchasing) but you can put in whatever info you want there...

Maybe they need to tackle the underlying drug problem, rather than twitter fix it's downtime problem? The world revolved before twitter, and it will continue to revolve long afterwards.

It's like all those stupid adverts you see on TV for mega-extreme-fitness-workout or call-meet-super-sexy-local-girl. Always wondered who would actually but this rubbish or call those stupid premium rate numbers, but the very fact there are

It's survival of the fittest, except you looking for the most stupid of the herd.

I don't think that is what he is saying. He is saying he did this already and Facebook reverted his selection.

Well, that's the same value the big pharma's put on human life when it can't afford their high priced drugs, so I don't see anything not smart about it.

Out of interest, what kind of healthcare reforms are you talking about? Something like they have in the US, via paid insurance, or something like they have in the UK with "free" healthcare for all via the NHS? If it's the latter, with a pop

Ha, I didn't think of that, I was just thinking about the OP saying people should restore the OS before returning to NewEgg, but very good point!

Hey, I replaced a spark plug once too... I should be chief mechanic at Red Bull in this case :)

Maybe they should rename it MacBook Air Pro? :)

Question: Do these laptops that NewEgg sell have a hidden restore partition like most laptops do these days? I think these are normally accessible via some F-key setting on bios startup... so not very difficult unless you have deleted this

Yes, sadly you are right, and it's cos of this (IMO) that you end up in this situation. I'd hire an average JS guy over a average jQuery guy any day.

I agree, but I totally think it depends on your market. I would love nothing more than IE <9 to die a horrible death (I actually really like IE9). Some things are just bizarre. But we're in the business of making money, and as long as

I've seen many banks that have legacy systems what ONLY work in IE6, so they can't upgrade until they apps are re-written, but those apps are so big they don't want to touch it or they have some longer term project to replace this, blah bla

Have you gone to the site in question? I agree with DanBC, however I don't expect you to fully support all users if you don't want to, that's your perogative, you know your customer base better that we do so it's for you to decide what brow

From this I get 1. A server side developer (C#/Java/PHP/Whatever) trying to be a HTML designer 2. A n00b HTML designer that's not been around long enough to know the different IE box models and workarounds needed. I'd guess 2. You can get m

I'm working on a project for a major bank here in the UK, one of the requirements of IE6 and no Javascript. Seriously. It's anal. But it's how their system runs internally, so for management to be able to "test" the new site it needs to wor

True that, you pays your money you makes your choice. Thins is, at a few hundred pounds the iPod and iPad are almost disposable, but at a few thousand an MBP is not. I actually was considering buying one of the "lower end" MBP, but becaus

Don't know to be honest, unless EVERYONE is running encrypted traffic/VPN/Tor then the few that are using it stick out like a sore thumb. It is bound to raise some suspicion. I am British too btw and hoping it is just a proposal at the

Looks like our Government is finally coming up with a plan to compete with Facebook for who has the most data on their "citizens" :-p

If you are routing your traffic through VPN and anon proxies or use Tor then you must be a terrorist ! Totally retarded, but I bet they will look at your traffic harder if you did this, even though I have nothing to hide... Interesting rea

Yes, agree on all your points. I have a colleague who buys Macs purely because their build quality is so high and less likely to break. I'm sure Apple could have designed a new connector for the RAM, and not glued the battery in such a

by kamjam 14y ago
Ahh fair enough, I thought you were in support of the general principle. Agree it is Apple's policy, i presume there was meant to be a /sarc tagt in there some where :) I was considering buying it, but I am not an Apple user and would have

by kamjam 14y ago
Yeah, fair enough. You're assuming that a Mac repair shop will un-glue the battery and not regard it as "oh well, you need a new one" like they do when say a TV part breaks these days (they may well be able to, I genuinely don't know). Prob

by kamjam 14y ago
Yes, read that. Generally for me RAM is bigger factor these days than storage... with speeds from USB3 I can generally get by with external storage.

yes, i did note the year, but how is that relevant to here and now? Since they are intel based now, surely that ruling is m00t? Thanks for the downvote, shame I can't repay the favour.

And also CCTV cameras to make sure you aren't parking illegally or stopping in a bus lane. You name it, we have a CCTV for it!

You don't have to replace the whole engine if your car battery dies, even in a BMW, regardless of warranty status. Yes, that was my whole point... I don't have to replace the engine because the battery isn't glued to it. So I may have t
