Yes, it does matter, cause bringing forth the attention to one place will hopefully spark news and other places will be watched more closely. Saying it's a lost cause because "all of them" must (your opinion) be doing it, and then giving up only adds to the problem.
You are just as guilty by watching it and letting it happen without reporting it. Seriously, how fscking old are you?
the govener on my car is at 155.. i have zero planns on taking it there.
Just wait until the zombie/raptor or zombie raptor apocalypse. You will wish you could outrun them (or run them down faster, depending on your preference).
My biggest complaint is that cars aren't specced for the future, flame thrower proof, cow catching, unflippable and super fast. You laugh at my Hummer now, but just wait. The movies are just a warning to you!
I like the idea, and sounds interesting. Obviously the infected would need to be harder. Although this is like how they invented the game in the first place (played counter-strike with knife only bots). But adding the different weapons is what appeals most.
The TF2 characters would only be the cartoony humor icing for the cake, since I find only small bits of humor in L4D opposed to TF2. Granted, L4D hasn't been out nearly as long, and could have some humor improvements that TF2 has been having (like the scout's domination sounds they added the past month)
They sorted 1TB in 62 seconds, and 1PB in 16.25 hours.
This doesn't say anything if we don't know what kind of records were supposed to be sorted.
It's amazing what you can learn if you actually RTFA.
If that's not good enough for you, post your email address and maybe someone will be kind enough to send you the 100TB and 1PB data files they used.
It's amazing what you can learn if you actually RTFS, or read the comment, or read the quote you just quoted: 100TB != 1TB. We can be pedantic all day though if you like. Mr. Smug "I can RTFA"
Play on a better sever: they have class limits on most servers I play on during that update (2 scout limit when that came out, 2 heavy limit, 2 pyro limit etc.)
Or would you prefer to wait 2 years for all the classes to be released? Perhaps if you played the game without complaining you would realize that they have far more future plans after the class updates with even more additional weapons. Sure the fact you have to unlock the weapons is wrong. But releasing class improvements 1 at a time is more fun, and creates a "special" look at the class (hell, few were playing medic, 1-2 if you were lucky, until the update came out, then everyone went medic and it started to kick ass)
Funny, for me it's been the reverse--from a young age I felt that it was very wrong to lie and almost never did (and always felt bad about it). Only later did I discover (much to my surprise and, when participating in it, discomfort) that being disingenuous and even lying outright is not only widely accepted in the adult world, but very often expected
Funny, for me it's been reversed. Eventually I found out you can tell the truth but use qualifier words that protect you, or quite possibly add additional information to the situation.
Very few people apparently know that "I might have signed that memo" and "I did sign that memo" are 2 different statements. 1 leads to a definitive answer holding you accountable, the other leads to a "we could prove it, but we really can't without plenty of resources", which leads to: I'm too lazy, I won't research it. Both statements are true btw.
Rip off. $78 to plug in a whole (2) internal drives. You are much better off buying external USB, or simply spending the 5 minutes shutting down, plugging in and powering back up. This is for extremely lazy people, but even then, I'll take the extra internal hard drive over the price of this "convenience".
No; not by enough to make it worthwhile, possibly not at all. E.g. if you're willing to use 256 bytes of hash, you're much better off using SHA-256 than two 128-byte hashes.
Makes some sense, but the difference is, they only have to break 1 algorithm. He is looking at it like "they broke SHA-1, big deal, break another well tested and secure hash algo". But I would say that the more different hashs you throw in, the better (but longer validation process, which some reason to defeat the purpose of a hash, since it's meant to be a short validation).
Or flip a random bit in the middle, at most you will hear a bit of hiss or something at one point in the song.
This is the correct answer, the md5 will be the hashed portion WITHOUT the ID header/trailer tags. Open up one of your mp3s to notice that header/trailer information can easily be changed. Chances are it could very well pull a Youtube tech and look at the first 30 seconds of a song file (or try and treat all files as song files). Get marked for evaluation later. In which case, you would want to alter quite a bit of bits throughout the song, but with modern recognition nowadays, that may not even work.
Best solution: encrypt the drive. What you do on your computer is your own business. As long as you haven't been bringing down banks, launching nukes, or any other large scale problems. It was once stated your rights end when your fist touches my nose. Last I checked you haven't been hurting people by reading bits off a hard drive, and you sure as hell aren't profiting from it (although RIAA sure as fuck wants to).
The reason Starcraft's multiplayer is so well renoun is because of the near perfect level of balance it had.
Which kept getting updated and updated and updated... every Blizzard game has "balancing fixes" with each update. Starcraft has had plenty of updates as well. Sure, it's nice they try to keep the game balanced over time, but after a while it's like "how are they changing the gameplay this time? what are they going to nerf?" Too many of one character (or too many victories from one class) to them means it's overpowered and needs adjustment, because it's not a 50/50 split.
Yea good luck... looking at the success of their Myspace comments I'm sure he will get flooded with more "Stop Horse Slaughter In Canada And Mexico", and "God will reveal all of the lies people believed in" religious crap. Along with "hi 2 u mr prez" spelling/grammatical mistakes throughout the entire the thing.
But I suppose it isn't about the 177863 friends, it's about reaching people and informing them. Just wish the comments didn't make us all look like asshats.
Interestingly enough, the United States government and the Voice of America have financed some of the circumvention technology efforts
Oh right, because their censorship doesn't match our laws, we would like to pass this on to them so they can break their own laws, because they aren't "free" (AKA not like "us").
But when other countries governments interfere (importing drugs, prostitutes, etc.) that don't break their countries laws, but ours. We see it as a problem?!
Isn't this a bit behind the back? Or did I mis-read something/not get enough details? I'm not saying free speech is bad (or drugs/prostitutes are good), I'm saying the double standard is, and we shouldn't interfere with other government's laws.
Yep... all games have bugs, and if the game is like any MMO, it will need updates and almost every update causes bugs no matter how well tested in beta. Need proof? Play other games sometime. Find the bug that gives you the edge, or allows you to dupe. But hey, they control their economy, so if they don't like you pulling in millions (legit or not) or just hate you swearing in their game/you owning them at their own game/etc. They could flip a switch and bankrupt you - literally.
But even if they somehow don't have bugs, their update will release some new mechanic that will screw with the economy anyways. You could literally go from having an awesome high priced item selling for millions, to having a worthless piece of trash replaced by a quest item; just because you went on vacation for a week during the update.
No offense to you, but the idea of a game economy mixed with real life is retarded. This has been discussed before, and the consensus was about 50/50, along with the idea that a few owners of the company could literally squander player's real life money away from them *cough* "superman bug" style.
Also it has to be music with no lyrics, cause I end up singing and I can't sing and code. Must be something in my brain:P.
I've found foreign music tends to help with that. Once you start learning syllables to the songs... well it won't matter, cause you will have to try writing those syllables.
Yea, but this article comes with this gem of a quote:
Time Warner Cable had said at the time that it believed that consumers who download the most content need to pay more to cover infrastructure upgrades
Meaning, if you are a heavy user, you pay for the infrastructure upgrade (that you never actually get, while they oversell those upgrades!), and STILL get charged for being a heavy user! It's genius!
You can't have an anonymous internet AND access to records of every origin of data.
I'll take the wild west with everyone being anonymous, so people learn not to attack the authors and fall into a false sense of security. Learn to protect yourself, don't make others do it for you.
Let me know when you catch the Downadup/conficker authors.
In the meantime, encouraging security (and equally stability) over all other features/pretty designs should be done as well. Perhaps Symantec and McAfee releasing these reports were meant to help their sales... or perhaps what they don't realize is that people are 1 step closer to Linux because of these reports...?

That's right; a red box with a white>black gradient in the background is just that damn impressive.
Well, since it duplicates the object, you can now have twin supermodels.

I have tried searching for deficits by country but to no avail. Does anyone know of a site that lists each country and their deficit? Thanks :)
I thought so too, but apparently it was Manga guide to Statistics Either way, didn't RTFS. I like anime TV, but couldn't be bothered with reading.

Edit, Preferences, "Enable JavaScript Actions" is checked by Default.
And yes, this is default, because I just installed the software today to verify the many claims about "just install FoxIT" with no other information.
