Welcome to Sweden - we usually speak better English than the average american. At least we can separate they're, their and there both in pronounciation, use and spelling!
The problem is with the solder joints. After many cycles of heating up and cooling down they just lose contact. The most common error to get is three red lights on the console and if you check the error code it will be 0102.
It's fixable if you're good with a heat gun (for soldering jobs). The error is very common - and it's not just from one batch. Microsoft will have to admit to this error again and again in the months to come.
In the cases of both Afganistan and Iraq, they now have democratically based government
No, not really. Seriously - both Afghanistan and Iraq are worse off today than they were before the US invasion/occupation. You will however need to switch away from Fox News to learn that truth.
Latest from Afghanistan: The "decency police" is making a comeback. Yes, the one that whipped women on the street who weren't wearing a burka, and that measured the length of men's beards.
The most likely outcome in Iraq now is that it won't survive as a country. The Kurds will get the north, the east will become a part of Iran (which is less of a dictatorship than the US favourite countries of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia btw) and the south might try to do something with the two previously mentioned states (due to the sunni/shia divide).
He's probably swedish, some residental cooperations and city networks have got very good deals on fiber.
I can't get fiber, but I have symmetric 12/9 VDSL (of which my actual throughput, measured, is 9/9) - at ~$50/month. The uplink makes all the difference.
I'm confused as to what that means...will they be turning over your source IP at the specific point in time, will they be linking your source IP to your VPN IP at a specific point in time, will they be linking you VPN IP to your name and address at a specific point in time, or what?
My _guess_ is that they're never under any obligation to keep a record of your source IP, and thus they can never give that away.
The service is pre-paid. If they have done their homework it's up to you if you enter your real details. All you really need is a secret token of some sorts (password, certificate) and all they need is to make sure that reaches whatever means of communication you entered when they've got paid (anonymous mail, sms etc).
Note: I have no idea if that is how they've done it - if they haven't, they should. I'm sure Rick managed to get hold of a few people with security know-how in creating this service. If not, he knows where to find them.. *g*
For Swedish authorities to force RELAKKS to hand over traffic data including your RELAKKS IP at a specific point in time, they will have to prove a case with the minimum sentence of two years imprisonment
... and that is exactly what the "BOO TERRORISTS!"-scare is trying to accomplish now, with sentences going up to four years.
(And we all thank the almighty Fascist States of America for that)
It's important because when new games perform additional security checks copies of those games won't run (remember - you can't change anything in the executables of the copy since the signing process isn't broken)
If MS can deliver a solid price drop (maybe $250 to $300 for the premium system, dropping the core model) by the time wii and PS3 arrive
No such thing though.
According to Bloomberg, Microsoft have stated that they will be not adjusting the 360's price in light of the launch of the PS3. An MS rep commented there is currently no schedule in place to cut prices.
Yeah I can. Information is spreading faster than ever, and at some point in time there's absolutely no point in "locking it" (which is what a traditional text book does) instead of keeping it liquid [fresh].
Today's news is already old - and this is just the beginning.
Actually, that might very well be spot on. Thanks for the link!
The impact that carved Kebira might have created an extensive field of yellow-green silica fragments, known as desert glass and found on the surface between the giant dunes of the Great Sand Sea in southwestern Egypt, the researchers said.
Thanks. I think there's way too little talk about the possibility that we're just another incarnation of The Sims - http://www.simulation-argument.com
Changing cosmological constants and our inability to explain the underlying structure of the machine performing the simulation are explained quite nicely in that theory/religion/philosophy - and we could, if we wanted, try to find signs of being in a simulation in several ways.
Or, we could just accept that currently anyone even mentioning this possibility is being regarded as a crackpot;)
What? So now the solar contribution is reckoned to be less than half? How does this in any way negate what I was saying?
Please pay attention. We talked about half up until 1980 - the second quote was that it indeed has caused a lot of the increase we've seen after that year as well.
(... and we still don't know all that much about it. Again - you seem to be far more certain of your view than you have facts supporting it)
Calling everything localised won't win you many arguments, btw. The whole earth, in one way or the other, is just a bunch of localised weather.
It should be noted that Stott's 2003 work mentioned in the model section above largely revised his assessment, and found a significant solar contribution to recent warming, although still smaller than that of the green house gases
You seem to be far more certain about your claims than the scientific community.
and found that while the solar cycle still accounts for about half the temperature rise since 1900
(half = a lot)
Deviations after 1980 could be the _cleaner_ atmosphere that ended the path to global cooling. We don't know. We definitely do not know enough to blame CO2 almost singlehandledly as some try to do just because it's popular.
I read in a post further down that there are claims the weather wasn't warmer up here in the Nordic countries during medieval times. Weird thing is, we who live here know it was - that's not even a disputed fact. Watch out for dangerous "official" spins trying to disprove that the weather (and temperature) changes regularly.
(I'm all for global warming - I think it'll bring a lot of positive effects outside of the flooded coastal areas. The resulting wars and famine will be brought along sooner by peak oil than by the floods anyway)
I agree, but in this case the poll was done via forum posts, and it was easily seen that it was both the forum regulars who had problems (and it was the list of total owners that had a lot of unknown/new names) - and the problems were not simple lockups but real defective consoles (this applies to Loading, I don't know about IGN).
15% with a large uncertainty, in two separate polls, is still a statistical problem when Microsoft claims they're really below 3%.
Both IGN and Loading (Sweden's biggest console forum) ran unofficial polls on their sites as to the number of X360 owners, and of those, how many who had gotten one (or more!) defective consoles.
The polls clocked in, both, at ~15%.
(IGNs had 700 or so participants, Loading's about 200)
They're mostly correct about what they write. Several editorials also point out that this fight _cannot_ be won by the music, film and software industries. They must adapt.

Why should they, for a second, accept that?
Max power rating of the PSU does not equal power used in normal operation
You've been trolled - most likely by someone paid by Microsoft

Except that those suicide bombers (some call them Palestinian freedom fighters against occupant Israel) had absolutely nothing to do with Al Quaeda.

Yes. I thought you wanted something that's a phone FIRST? If so - have a look at the offerings from Sony Ericsson or Nokia.
