Real profile picture photo? Real town, school, work place?
Why?, does it make any difference to advertisers to have a name attached to a profile?, would they target that specific product differently if my name is A or B?, I would guess they will try to sell to who I am, and that doesn't change with my name...
Apple got it right with the new displays that act as a docking station, providing USB ports, gigabit ethernet, another thunderbolt port, etc. Add a graphics card to it and you have the perfect docking station.
I'm having problems on a late 2010 MacBook Air. I'm a new mac user, and have been very satisfied with hardware and OS (some things I don't like about OS X, but that's another story). I've updated to Lion mainly for the full disk encryption feature.
I've been having multiple crashes, in different forms. There are a lot more slow downs than with Snow Leopard (I basically didn't have any) and some of those slow down's turn into crashes or permanent unresponsiveness. Last one, safari suffered one of these slow downs upon opening a new tab, this disabled the menu bar, changing to another application enabled it and I could go to the "Force Quit" option (didn't know the shortcut yet), Force quit menu didn't appear, another application stopped responding, etc. Always the same cascading effect until the system is unusable.
I'm kind of pissed at this, specially considering how well the system worked before.
Not sure were you work, but in all places I've worked hardware was stockpiled once it was put out of service. I'm not so sure about the reason, but there seems to be a lot of accounting issues for a company if it wants to get rid of stuff. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can comment on that.
Used Ubuntu for about 3 months and works great. The only problem is that the installation was a pain, lots of customized settings, mac specific repositories that are not available for every version, etc. Once everything was working, it was ok, run great really, but those little inconsistencies bothered me and in the end I ended installing OSX again (still testing, haven't used it before).
And they should keep in mind, some piracy will ALWAYS remain, those are the people that wouldn't have bought the crap they pirated no matter the price.
I don't spend much time at home playing games, because I like to hang out with friends, go for a walk, read a book, listen music, etc... it's actually when I'm on the train to work that I read a book or use my DS to spend that useless time.
It may be that many people have uses for computing devices that don't fit into the desktop or laptop or smartphone models. For example, the iPad can be used to review pictures taken on a digital camera...
And yet you still need another computer to transfer the files between each other, since the iPad doesn't have memory card slot or even a freakin USB port. What's the point in that?
I never understood this "account hacked" thing. You mean that twitter service has a security vulnerability and someone was able to tweet with his account without the right credentials, OR someone used his account logging in with his weak password?, because that's not hacking on my book.
I remember when I was playing Monkey Island 2 in hard mode, all my high school class was playing the same and it took a LONG time to solve in a group effort. Today people are lazy and want instant satisfaction, they go to the internet and download the solution right away and the game is spoiled.
Even I would think that maybe this could happen to me, some of this games where damn hard, but what a great satisfaction when you solved it on your own.
Really, I'm not really sure how much of this is true or enforceable, but I'm sure that ICANN being an us headquartered organization is not helping the matter.
We should we (rest of the world) care what an US Association thinks about anything?
I don't think there is a possible absolute perfect score, since score depends on number of barrels you jump and barrels you smash with the hammer, but at the same time, the bonus score (earned at the end of the level) is decreased as time goes by, so you can't keep jumping barrels to earn score. (it turns out to be increasingly difficult too)
Yes, because most of the people of third world countries are rapists and starving to death. Why don't you make yourself a favor and travel around a little?
But that's exactly the point, you can do that, and would be the same as the ISP configuring low (normal) sized buffers.
And yes, ISPs are stupid, or not, depending on the way you see it. The side effect of reducing buffer sizes is that you reduce throughput, so you will have to configure more bandwidth to the customer, so that the customer "sees" it's 3M, 7M, or whatever that he paid for. But believe me, ISPs do this, first hand experience.
No, the article is about buffers set on interfaces on network operators, mostly on access interfaces, but also somewhere on "the rest of the internet", although it's not very specific on that. TCP window size IS NOT a buffer, by definition.

It's not an accent, ñ is actually another letter of the alphabet in spanish. "...l m n ñ o p q..."
I wonder what follows to real names.

Probably, but does it matter? (to them)

Ah, good to know, thanks. I was confused by the newegg site that said something like "mSATA (Mini PCIe Form factor)"
Assuming I have a free PCIe slot on my laptop, can I assume that everything will work or do I need some specific feature on the laptop for it to work?
Or you could use Twinax to connect your servers if you're using a top of rack (or similar) topology.
Happens to me every time I go to the US, very annoying indeed.

Tetrominos are just one kind of the standard Polyomino geometric figures.

I second that, I was just going to post that when I saw your post.

It's interesting how around there are all praises, and around here are all rants. I wonder why's that... (I'm with the latter group, obviously)
At the moment I saw the picture I knew this wouldn't work, that's it... NEXT!
