Do you kill and rape people? No? Then you should have no problem providing a sperm sample.
Do you ever speed in your car? No? Then you wont mind having this GPS installed in your car.
Do you ever beat your wife? No? Then you should have no problem having a camera installed in your house.
Where does it end. People really need to defend thier freedoms... Even if it does not direcly affect them. It's like the famous saying, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." -- Some guy.
200 years ago people would never fly.
150 years ago it was impossible to talk to someone in another town
125 years ago it was impossible to own a car
50 years ago it was impossible to own a computer (except for banks, schools, and gov't)
You never know what the future might hold. Cold Fusion might prove to be possible. Zero point energy might be proved and harnessed. Maybe someone will figure out a way to take the heat out of the atmosphere and make electricity from that.
My point is, and I do have one, that nothing is impossible. There is more that we don't know then we know... Chew on that.
It would cause alot of dust and dirt to become airborne, allowing spectral analysis to determine the presence of substances. The argument about water existing on the planet would likely be answered, and we could get a good look on what resources might be available on mars if humans were ever able to establish a base camp.
The keys are stored in protected memory. This memory is not accessable under normal conditions, as the gatekeeper chip disallows access to this. When the Wii is used in GC mode, this chip is disabled, but so is addressing to the upper regions of memory, so you still can't address it properly. BUT if you use a small peice of metal and join some of the address bus lines, in order to address higher addresses, these keys can be recovered.
That would truly be an amazing event. The science that could be learned in the event of a collision would be massive!
I, for one, welcome our planet smashing overlord!
Becuase to a lot of users when you say windows, they don't think OS, they think GUI. They have a desktop, with icons on it, and when you click the icon, the program launches, just like in windows. Most people would not know that this would no run a windows app.
Think... If you bought your parents this computer, would you honestly be surprised when you get the call that quicken or whatever won't install?
They did not use the exact mixture. As I recall, they actually used thermite. Also, they (obvously) used a scale model of the hindenburg. This scale model would have a *MUCH* higher surface to colume ratio, thus anything changed about the skin would have a *MUCH* higher affect.
I'm sure everyone on/. has either used a match to ignite a baloon filled with H2 or at least seen it done. As you know, the baloon ignites very easily, and very fast... no thermite required.
I think that what you are experencing is directly related to your torrent traffic. Both byself, and a buddy of mine, who are avid downloaders, have this same issue. I am 99.9% sure that the issue with slugish performance is no fault of Shaw's.
There are some things that you may be able to do to improve your performance while downloading torrents.
1. Download at night, when you are not using the connection actively
2. Make sure that your router has the latest firmware version
3. If you router supports QoS, configure it so that your BT has low QoS and your important apps have high (VoIP, Games, ETC)
4. Limit the max upload speed to something smaller then your theroetical max for your connection. (A good setting for a 1Mbps upload with shaw is 110K when internet is not being used for anything else, and 35-65K when it is).
Whith the above config, my internet runs smoothly while downloading, VoIP has good quality, and games have little latency. As a side note, my buddy has a linksys 4 port wireless router/AP (WRT54G?) which seems to need resetting quite often with bittorrent. My router (4 port linksys with no wireless and VPN tunnel capibility, works better. I haven't rebooted the router since configruing it 1 year ago, after the previous router blew a cap.
I think I'll have to wear my tin foil outfit. It's double thick and has a full hood. Should divert the shock and prevent the MP from penitrating my mind.... all at the same time.
I'm going to shamelessly post after the first comment in order to get this to the top of the pile. In addition to writing letters to MPs (or emailing, which is a waste of time IMHO) this weekend there happens to be an open house at Mr Prentice's office (in Calgary) tomorrow, Saturday, December 7th from 1:00 - 3:00.
I plan on attending and srongly urge any fellow Calgarians to come to the open house.
I can go to the store, buy an AppleTV and have it running in minutes. XBMC requires modding the xbox, and loading the app to the xbox. I won't even go into what's invloved with a MythTV box.
AppleTV is XBMC/MythTV for people who have lives and don't want to learn anything, just have it work.
For the record: I have XBMC and LOVE IT TO DEATH!! I have no life, this post is not flamebait.
As a further aside, I've transcoded a few ephemeral TV shows recorded the night previously on my Myth box via a custom job so as to be able to watch them on the way into work. That's quite handy, and means I don't have to spend 30 minutes of my at-home time watching it.
I find it more handy to just download the program from the torrent sites the next day. It's likely better quality, commercial free, and required no transcoding. Hell, it's faster to download a movie than it is to transcode it. Azureus will even allow you to use RSS feeds to download content so that it's waiting for you on your desktop the morning after the show airs.
The content industries need to realize that they are competing with "Free and illigal". Free is very attractive, especially when the free version is better than the non-free version, due to it's lack of restrictions. I think that the content industry needs to make thier content more accessable and cheaper. Movies should be $1.00 (maybe 2.00 for new releases) to buy. Here's my idea:
Have a video vending machine that will allow you to select a number of movies and after you pay for them, it will transfer them to your USB drive, which you can take home and play on your computer, or on your Xbox360, PS3, Modded xbox, Apple TV, whatever. The low cost will allow people to buy more movies then they did before, and having people provide thier own media, keeps the costs down, and profits up. The money that get's lost by the lower price tag, would be recovered by higher sales (because of the lower cost) and the higher profit margin (100% - cost of electricity to run the kiosk).
Currently on my computer, Adobe reader is the single biggest pain in the ass. It gets used about once a month, but contantly wants to update (even when I check the box to not check for updates). About once a week I see the update icon in the corner, and I scream in a fit of rage,

I downloaded the 84Mb version and it seems to me that they could of accomplished the exact same thing using a 1 MB flash video. Tax dollars at work!
Yeah, me neither. At that time, I bought a cell phone, making the pay phone obsolete.

No they told you exatly how they did it.

Watch the video, very interesting.

I think the choice is clear, the best viewing experience is had on a 13" CRT.
Is that the point that you are trying to make? It sure seems like it. I'll take my HDTV TYVM!
Easy fanboi! It was what some people call a "joke".

It's a feature.
Mythbusters screwed that one up...

I'm sure everyone on
Don't bother, they won't.

You should send it in the biggest box you can find.
Sorry forgot the address. Also remember to bring your donation to the food bank! You don't want to look like a bastard =)

Ever heard of a paragraph? Whatever you had to say, I didn't read it.
