Guerrilla warfare is largely how America won it's independence. While the British were fighting in"proper form" by standing in disciplined firing lines in the open, American rebels were hiding in the woods, taking cover, making sneak attacks etc. A foreign army stands little chance against a local, native occupying force. Americans knew the land and climate much better than the British. They could hide out virtually anywere, and get food and supplies easily. The British had to conquer and occupy a town before they could have some kind of base. The same is true Vietnamese and Iraqis. You enter a town and you don't know if the occupants are friend or foe. The only real way to defeat an occupying force is go medieval (literally, like the Crusades) and slaughter every person and destroy every town until either every one who opposes you is gone, or the give up and join you. It's ugly and awful, but it's how you win.
This issue should have nothing to do with gun ownership. There is nothing wrong with owning guns for hunting/shooting sports/self defense etc. The issue here is idiot douche bags who happened to use guns for vandalism. They could have just as easily taken the pole down with a chain saw or tractor.
Just freakin' legalize pot already, and prostitution too. They have been around for thousands of years, and are never going away. I have no interest in either, but I still think they should be legal. Regulate it, tax it, reduce crime, generate tax revenue. The end. How is it ok that people can get all liquored up start fights and crash cars, but it's not ok for someone to smoke up, eat junk food, and watch cartoons? BAH!
I agree - while targeted ads can be fake and annoying (Are you a 30 year old dad who works in the IT industry and likes classic cars?) Holy crap, that's me! I must click on that ad! I would be nice to be walking around some place and see an ad for free appetizers and 1/2 price pints at a bar with in a few blocks.
Step 1: Buy (or build, for those inclined) a machine with no OS installed. Step 2: Buy or download the OS of your choosing that can run on hardware from step 1. Step 3: Install OS from Step 2. Step 4: Enjoy your new PC, without vendor crap ware, and a full copy of the OS disk your are entitled to that can be used to rebuild the box if something goes awry.
I think most average computer users can probably install Windows 7. If they are able to install all the free "toolbars" and crap that junk up their machines in the first place, the default install of Win7 is probably with in their abilities. There are few options to choose and it walks you through pretty easily. I think Ubuntu is actually fewer steps than Windows to install. Can't speak for Apple.
Not being given a copy of this OS is just wrong in my opinion. Oh well, my $0.02
Yeah, it does feel stalkerish, and very fake. I love when I see ads that say - "Are you a 30 year old systems engineer who is also father of 2 children and enjoys the outdoors? Find out how you can get over $500 in Providence, RI area coupons!" Ah, so close, looks like they got the Geo-IP wrong.
I don't think the PIN has anything to do with this. The PIN probably just locks the UI in the phone. That would be like pulling a hard drive out of one computer and adding to another and expecting the usernames and passwords to still work. You'll be able to mount the drive and access every part of the file system because the OS that governs access to that filesystem is not running. The drive is just being viewed by another computer. If the filesystem was encrypted, I imagine you'd could still mount the drive, but the contents wouldn't be viewable.
I agree, but ever since I found smokin guns and Urban Terror, my Windows partition has seen no activity in months. It would be nice to get the big name titles on Linux though. COD anyone?
What we need to do is stop bombarding kids with constant streams of electronic entertainment. If a kid always has a screen with moving pictures (be it a dvd player, game or whatever) in front of his face, how do you expect them to sit still when you take it away. It like digital crack. Yes, kids can be a pain - but part of being a parent is dealing with those situations by interacting with them in a positive way. I'm not saying no TV ever, but people wonder why kids have attention deficit disorder. I'm sure most of those kids can hold their attention perfectly fine when it's focused on a TV. How is a teacher supposed to teach a class when most of the kids are used to constant electronic entertainment?
Grass fed beef is far more expensive, because of the amount of acreage required for the cows to graze. Grass only grows so fast in a given area. Corn on the other hand is dirt cheap. Why do you think most mass produced food uses corn syrup instead of sugar? (Part of it is becuase sugar is artificially expensive due to import tariffs, but that's besides the point) They should make prisoners generate electricity! They'll stay healthy and will be too tired for prison yard shenanigans!
I've been using TurboTax online version for a few years now in Linux with no issues, using Firefox. The only issue i had was a few years ago, when TurboTax was only supporting FF2 when FF3 had come out, so my FF3 was determined to be an "Unsupported" browser. But for the last 2 or 3 years it's been fine with both Gentoo and Ubuntu.
Yeah, you can tell they wanted to name it something that would sound cool when characters from popular crime drama shows used it... Hot detective lady: "Hey, I binged the suspect's name and look what I found" Hunky detective guy: "Wow, look at all the hits with his username, and how nicely organized and sorted by relevance" Hot detective lady: "He said in his blog that he gets lunch at this address almost every day" Hunky detective guy: "That's right near where we found the victim. I think we should take a trip to this restaurant and see if we can find any info on our suspect" Hot detective lady: "Yeah, and grab a bit to eat. Bing says it's rated the #1 sandwich shop in the area." Hunky detective guy: "Sounds great - lets go!"
I have to give them credit for a short name though, much better than your typical Microsoft name, like: My Live Internet Active Search Microsoft Websearch for Windows computers needing to search the internet 2003
Ah - good point.:) We used to have a news item with a basic description, but I must have set it to expire. I'll have to put some text in an "About" section. Anyway, OGP is a game server control panel. It uses a web interface that controls an agent running on the server hosting your games. It is used to start/stop/monitor game server instances. More features like a config file editor are coming soon. It allows users to administer a game server without having shell access. Panel admins can lock down various features to users, like limit which IPs or ports can be used for each game. Games can be assigned a specific cpu priority (with nice) and on multi cpu boxes, a game can be assigned to a specific CPU. If the server is rebooted, the agent will restart the game servers that were running when the reboot occured. Thanks for pointing out my foolish oversight of the most basic information:0 (duh on my part) I hope you give it a try and find it useful
It just sucks that they nickel and dime with charge, and have a fake unlimited plan. It seems to me that someone looking at the phone will just think, "Oh, it's like the same price as an iPhone plan. I'll just get an iPhone" I don't know how the average cell phone buyer thinks. I guess they don't care as long as they watch TV with it and look at their Facey-pages.

OSX is Unix based, how can it not have swap, unless it defaults to some size automatically based on the amount of ram installed.
Step 1: Buy (or build, for those inclined) a machine with no OS installed.
Step 2: Buy or download the OS of your choosing that can run on hardware from step 1.
Step 3: Install OS from Step 2.
Step 4: Enjoy your new PC, without vendor crap ware, and a full copy of the OS disk your are entitled to that can be used to rebuild the box if something goes awry.

Google should just say sorry China - you get no google anymore.

No problem.
Yes, the under the navigation pane on the left side there is a 'Supported Games' link

Ha - yeah I tried lynx in the search too, after I posted :)
Also did wget and curl.
Missing this one, the lowest of all:

Ha - I had a feeling there was some kind of connection.
I think this post needs a 'frikinlasers' tag.
