Because the whales being hunted for "research" are not only endangered, but are being fished on a commercial scale.
I'm dubious of this research as it goes against nearly every other peer reviewed paper I've read recently, which all state climate change is observably worse than predicted. I'm not sure where they get the info that temps have leveled off post-2000, but GISS, NOAA, etc, data does not show this.
Some of us don't just use Twitter to stalk celebrities. I personally use it for political commentary, getting blog hits (I don't run ads, so no, not for revenue), & getting news before news websites get it.
It's probably the most powerful medium for journalists & bloggers.
That being said, I don't see Vine as adding anything to Twitter, nor do I see it being taken up in a hurry. I'll give it a go, but I don't think I'll rush out & "Vine" everything I see.
Firstly, our gun control laws have prevented massacres, not banning games or movies, secondly the "wowsers" have no influence on the ratings board.
The reason why there was no R18+ before was because an Attorney-General (Michael Atkinson) was being influenced by the wowsers. The lack of an R18+ rating, not the wowsers, is the reason so many games were refused classification or modified for Australian audiences.
If you want to talk stupidity, go no further than your post.
I am an hardcore gamer, and most hardcore gamers I know don't use Razer because it's cheaply made overpriced junk. More than likely hardcore gamers are going to go with what works, not what's aimed at them.
This tablet is not nice, it's overpriced junk like everything else Razer produces. Again, us hardcore gamers already have tablets, we already have portable consoles, we have gaming laptops, we don't want or need another proprietary device that adds nothing new to the market.
Yet another poorly thought out tablet aimed at cashing in on the market. The problem is it seems to be aimed at "hardcore gamers", which rarely ends well. Most of us already have tablets to browse & play touch based games, so I don't see what this will add other than a hole in your bank account.
Gravitational Lensing does allow us to see along the arms of our galaxy though. While this may not let us see everything, it does allow us to see more than just our local cluster.
Not sure if you're aware of how much parking fees are for commercial airliners, but they aren't cheap & are calculated to the minute. Add to this the reallocation of tickets for connecting flights, time on the clock for business people, etc.
A small delay can amount to millions in a busy airport.
The higher denominations are always more likely to be spent though. If you have a jar of 1c coins vs a jar of $1 coins, a person is more likely to dip into the $1 jar than the 1c jar. Who wants to count out 1500c for a 6 pack of beer? I'd rather I with the 15 $1 coins.
As a side note, us Aussies got rid of our 1c & 2c coins years ago, hasn't hurt our economy, & our dollar is at US$1.05.
You don't think that a determined enough person can find these sites anyway? The lists should never be secret, the cases should always be open.
The idea that even the site's owner won't be notified shows a "guilty with no chance to prove innocence" process. I hate to skirt a Godwin, but this kind of activity reeks of fascism.
Heaven forbid a company designing a UI that you might find useful, or, SHOCK HORROR, make your life easier. I mean, who wants things to be easier? In fact, Valve should force TV users to load all games via an 8pt comic sans font console that has pink writing on a white background, & ensure that the only input device allowed is a hacked Wii-mote.
The amount of bullshit wank you faux-geeks go on with is ridiculous. Any positive change to a device/piece of software & it's all "I could do that x years ago by gluing a piece of string to a tin can".
Yet again corps can't see the forest for the trees. The tool (reply-all) isn't the problem, it's the people using it. Most companies don't train their staff well enough (or at all) in computer etiquette, maybe start there.
Democracy is about counting the votes of people equally, good or bad. In essence you're advocating a dictatorship (as the Internet is run now by the US) over a democracy by claiming that dictatorships (countries) will have more of a say.
I trust the US less than I trust the UN with the Internet. When "Internet Kill Switches" are being investigated by the US, it's clear this is not about democracy but protecting US assets/companies at the cost of the rest of the world.
US citizens, as usual, see the US as the police of the world, the rest of us are the criminals. The truth is, the US are the criminals & we're trying to wrest control of a powerful tool from despotic megalomaniacs.
"this infringing conduct has outraged Tolkien's devoted fan base, causing irreparable harm to Tolkien's legacy and reputation and the valuable goodwill generated by his works."
Yeh, because Peter Jackson's atrocities didn't do this already?
I can't say I agree. As a netwok/server admin, I use my tablet all the time for work, just not for writing reports or doing awful PowerPoint presentations no one pays attention to. I mainly use my tablet as a paper replacement.
I think it's more: if you want to work on a tablet, you'll find a way.
I'm just glad I moved my hosting away from AWS. It seems they've had a few problems lately in their datacentres. Local Aussie hosting seems to have better bandwidth anyway.
There was a well known problem of Linksys caps becoming detached from the board due to heat. They'd be fine when cool, but leave them on for a few hours & signal would degrade almost completely. The only solution was to either (as you did) replace them, or, if you were lazy, resolder them to the board.
There's many factors at play with wireless networks. The only way to be sure it's a failing cap/chip/board or interference from other devices is to manually test every component & run a frequency mapping scanner in every room in the house.

Lets face it, none of you have even tried any of the girlfriend versions, your still stuck on hand 1.0.

What do I care if you're brutally raped, tortured & murded?
See, two or us can play the apathy game.

No, I said he regarded himself as a vegetarian, as per the many transcripts. Whether he was or not is beside the point.
Really, am I going to have to be the one who Godwins this article?
Hitler regarded himself as a vegetarian...
In one fell swoop you've shown how ignorant Americans can be. Good show old chap, good show.
You forgot the hot grits & Natalie Portman!

Holy shit, when did memes get banned from the internet?
It's as if millions of geek voices cried out in terror & were suddenly silenced.
That's not what I said at all: the lazy option is to resolder without replacing the cap.
Gotta love these new style "nerds" & "geeks" these days, where reading comprehension is unnecessary.
