If commodity hardware does everything I need, why do I care what is possible with dedicated hardware?
You don't and shouldn't!
Most people have very minimal needs.
You are right. Even their wants are not often very extreme.
This is why I'm predicting that Windows on the desktop will end up being only for those who are not "most people".
Why was this not modded up informative? I've never driven a RHD vehicle, so I did not know. There's no reason to assume the whole vehicle isn't mirrored.
Not all of the US is a desolate wasteland inhabited by rednecks. Some parts are almost civilized, and still the infrastructure sucks donkey balls. Explain that?
Best candidate explanation is that Washington, DC is a desolate wasteland inhabited by rednecks.
Not long after the bombings, I saw messages on twitter from local law enforcement encouraging people to text instead of call. "Less bandwidth" they said.
I know this news comes in the context of gaming, but DirectX has other uses, including audio & video editing. I've recently been thinking of upgrading to a new version of Sony Vegas (video editing) and notice that since the last time I bought it (~5 y.a.) they have stopped shipping it with DirectX effects (though they still support them) and are bundling OpenFX plugins instead.
I just followed the link from TFA to the Social Bakers Fake Followers App. It identified 9 fake followers. Two area real people who I have had meaningful 2-way twitter exchanges with. One has actually collaborated with my wife on a musical project. Definitely not bots. A few are accounts intended to provide automated updates, so yes they're bots but good bots. It missed every one I suspected as fake.
Probably a large portion of them. There seem to be a lot of people who just "follow back" without even reading the account's profile or checking the account's tweets.
Where's the control in this experiment? How do we know that those 400 "people who mattered" wouldn't have followed back this user's account with fewer followers?
Also, did the "people who mattered" actually pay attention to the tweets about the thing this user needed them to pay attention to quickly?
...doesn't matter for the end user/consumer. As long as the image is strong enough that the developers making the next netbook, mobile device, set-top box, router, etc. decide to use Linux, then the brand is healthy in the right way.
The thing that really bugs me about those privacy policy mailings is when they come from banks, who charge extra fees for any transaction other than online or by ATM, and yet my request not to share information must be sent back by postal mail with all the account numbers written in.
Assuming this is about money and not the environment... Bitcoin has been mostly off my radar, so I went back to the original paper describing the system. A very important aspect is this:
As
long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to
attack the network, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers.
If you can get enough CPUs together to break that requirement, then you'll be able to make some real money.
2 Weeks of prison he probably wouldn't do it again.
2-1/2 years in prison at 19, he probably won't do that again, but I'm sure he'll learn some useful pointers on what next to do. Maybe neither justice nor revenge, but just part of the plan to maintain an incarcerated underclass to fuel the prison-industrial-complex. Of course the law enforcement and judiciary have plausible deniability too.

So, is the gearshift blocking the drivers side door so it can still be operated with the right hand? How do they fit the transmission over there?

You're probably right. It's a shame we can't give these jobs to monkeys. And put a 99% income tax on monkeys.

1999 called
Did you talk to your grandpa?
Even scarier is that if you follow one of the Shodan search results and login with admin:1234, you might end up in federal prison.
We're overlooking the obvious benefit to these "fake" journals: It's so much easier now to add references to our Wikipedia articles!
I guess I'm wondering what the definition of "everyday hacker" is. Just less technically sophisticated?

And BTW when will slashdot comments allow unicode so I can spell Paul Erdos correctly?
The videographer should be shot on general principle.
A full 20% of the video consists of closing credits!

Of course you need to decide which is the greater error: Your girlfriend's mistaken belief or your decision to point it out.
like Amigas with benefits?
Where I live, her name is JULIE.
If those same bums set the same fire today, they would probably be considered enemy combatants.
