Yeh, the summary seems to reek of anti-green, or at least anti-wind technology. The assertion that 141 are required assumes that you are using the worst windmills in the US. A clear sign the submitter is not only anti-alternative energy, but also an obnoxious American.
We are not all from the US, so don't assume we are. Until the US has a population greater than 51% of the planet, assuming we are will always be seen as obnoxious.
Actually, it changes the charge. Instead of being charged with "break & enter" you get charged with larceny.
Not sure how that works in the US, but in Australia they are quite different as far as punishments. For a B&E you almost certainly go to prison, for larceny it's usually a slap on the wrist or community service depending on what was taken.
The issue isn't that it CANT be refit, it's that it isn't economically viable to refit. You can't just "turn it into a coffee or juice bar" (as the parent to my post said) without it being insanely costly to do. Also, as I stated, the rehiring of different staff for different purposes would cost a fortune.
Are you retarded? Seriously, beer taps are COMPLETELY different to any other type of tap. They are designed for beer, and beer only. They are designed to keep beer (not juice, soft-drink (or as you Americans would call it pop or soda), or even water cold), reduce froth in beer, etc.
Such a statement is so stupid it's not funny. The guy has obviously spent thousands of dollars fitting out the place to be a bar (fridges, taps, bar, furniture) that to refit to anything else would put him so far out of pocket he'd bankrupt himself.
Not only that, but bar staff are different to wait staff. They are trained to do a different job, at least here in Australia they are. They require an RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) certification and need to know what drinks to mix, etc. Meanwhile, wait staff need to know the difference between various dishes, how long they can be left, how to make a decent coffee, etc.
It seems the owner's best avenue would be to sue, but unfortunately MS will fight that until he's broke. So either way, he's fucked 6 ways from Sunday.
Autodesk have been thought to do this for years already on the warez scene.
Autodesk are thought to have released their own cracks for the dongle that they supply with the software. Unlike their main competitor with regard to architecture (ArchiCAD), AutoCAD was on warez sites within days of release, crack and all. ArchiCAD has always taken longer to get out there, more than likely because they won't crack their own dongles.
Actually, no, it's got nothing to do with the individual.
If the predictions are close to the mark, and you can get everyone out of the area, or prepare the area well enough that people will not be trapped, wounded or killed, this removes a massive burden on recovery efforts. To sit there and say it's about the individual is just horse shit. If you want to live like that, go out into the wilderness and live on your own with no connection to society at all.
I really hate this idea that the individual overrides the social, it's a very narrow minded view that causes no end of grief. Sure, we would like to believe we're all unique and special, but it's just not true. We're part of a bigger "machine", just cogs. Sure, we can have individual ideas and attitudes, but we aren't here to merely satisfy our own individual wants. If that's the case we'd be solitary creatures.
I seem to find MMOs have the most "glitches" that seem to become exploits because of lazy testing.
Case in point, LOTRO's last expansion, while good, had so many glitches you could burn through all the lvl 60 instances in a day or two without so much as a death.
Others are terrain issues - monsters can't hit you but still attack you - or line of sight issues.
Unfortunately they seem to have this attitude that because they made a mistake it's an exploit and you'll get banned for using it.
I'm confused by it myself. My machines don't even go to sleep or hibernate. Sure, we don't want stupidly long boot times when we do need to reboot, but that's what, once a month, once a year, once a decade if your server is in good health?
I'd say forget fast boot times unless it's a netbook or embedded device.
You might want to check your facts on some of your claims, I think the brainwashing has caused you to dribble shit.
Firstly, it wasn't the US that got to Berlin first, it was the Russians. Secondly, a majority of the dictatorships around the world are funded or openly put there by the US.
Lastly, the US has done nothing but move the Taliban into Pakistan where they are going to have nuclear weapons once they take over (which is a VERY real possibility).
Please, take your wild gun-toting pro-US patriotism elsewhere, the rest of the world doesn't want it, and never will.
I really don't want to come across as a troll, but this is just stupid. 15 years? Are you both mad?
Expecting this kind of lifetime from a system, without getting some sort of 15 year support contract, is just stupid. If it's 2 computers on a network you aren't going for a pricey option. I'm going to hazard a guess that they are networked via 10base2 (coax) and probably uses IPX/SPX rather than TCP/IP.
In other words, your father needs to get with the program, dump the crappy setup, convert his DB to something realistic, and get a clue when it comes to the lifetime of systems. It's going to be more expensive to upgrade now because he hasn't implemented a decent upgrade cycle (every 3-5 years is probably as long as I'd leave it).
He has left it so long that even the concept of migrating the data to a new system will be painful if not impossible.
I know this all seems trolly, but someone needs a big wake up call. Sure it's not a great idea to be on the bleeding edge of technology all the time, but 15 years of use is unrealistic and downright immature to suggest you want it.
I think if everyone spends a minute to read other posts (http://slashdot.org/~BitZtream) in other threads you've written in they'd realise a few things:
1) you are an idiot of the highest degree 2) you think everyone other than yourself are 12 year olds on slashdot 3) you seem to side with authorities
From this I can possibly draw the following conclusion:
You are a 12 year old who wants to be a cop, but never will due to a mental disability that prevents yourself from even getting past the application stage.
I'd hazard a guess that you don't like geeks/nerds because you feel intimidated by intellectuals so use a geek/nerd site to vent your frustration. While you seem like a troll, I feel that you're not, more of a fool trying to intimidate intellectuals with brute force. I can't say I've ever seen this work on the internet, sure, if we were at a bar and you were physically bigger than me it'd work, but here, we can deconstruct your arguments without fear of reprisal.
I'd suggest going back to 4chan or Fark where your gun-nut, authoritarian loving, bush fans live.

Obvious troll is obvious...
What a witty reply.

So what about its adblock, the thing doesn't render pages correctly. From what I can tell it is a badly compiled version of chrome.
When they get it right, then I might think about using it... uninstall time.
You're new to the net aren't you?
I don't think you understand that term...

Still, the cutsie name softens the blow... should be +5 funny for the -1 troll.
I disagree to you then. "First Post" in essence opens it up for everyone. It's when it's an "NGAA" or whatever troll that there's no value.
Maybe hang around some more, you'll get the drift.

Do you even understand how business works?

You're talking about an 11 year old palm... not "state of the art voting machines".
Your Palm is well past it's used by date, these machines are supposed to be purpose built.

Dear USA,
The dictators were put there by you, the raping and pillaging is from your troops, we are only in the dark ages because you bombed us there.
Keep your filthy hands to yourself.

Wrong.
They are allowed to have a space program, it's the ICBMs as the GP said that are banned from being tested.

You, sir, are an artisan of trolling trolls. I tip my hat and bow before thee.
