Because you get to choose whether or not you're a member of the party.
Voting republican doesnt mean I would vote for every republican, or agree with every republican, or that Im "in" the republican party. It probably means that Im conservative on one or many issues.
ALso, I find this amusing:
they're main reason for existing is to discriminate against.... children
Remind me again what group tends to have a non-negative birthrate, and fights abortions, again? Oh, but clearly pro-lifers fight abortion because they hate women, I forgot.
Really, please do keep telling me what I believe. Here I thought I just had socially and fiscally conservative leanings; who knows what else you can tell me about my views!
Gaming is probably also not a terribly good area to see the differences between CPUs.
Try something where those instruction sets and cores are meaningful, like virtualization or VPN. You will notice a difference-- AES-NI, VT-D, and / or 4 extra cores may mean the difference between needing one server and two.
Bikes are expensive? Because that seems to be the favored means of transportation from the interning students ive seen.
It also seems to me that if "rural" is a significant enough cost, its cheaper to just intern in a city for the summer-- jobs are easier to get and rent still isnt that bad on the outskirts (again, like a lot of the students I know).
No, that would be NIST, the same folks who standardized SHA, SHA2, etc.
AES (aka Rijndael) was developed by Daeman and Rijman. NSA offered some tweaks to it, which were later determined to have significantly strengthened the cipher.
The "folks who evaluated it" include Bruce Schneier, who aside from being a well respected cryptoanalyst (having developed several NIST standard candidates), is nothing if not paranoid.
The problem with diaspora is I could only connect with the type of people who use diaspora.
Actually, thats roughly the same problem that OpenPGP has, as well as most skype alternatives.
Its great that your social sphere is able to be so easily moved to a completely different infrastructure, I just dont know how tenable it is for most people.
Bull. Students already basically do this by taking out a student loan. They already have a place to sleep, and food to eat. What additional costs are they incurring by doing an internship?
Not saying theres no merit to a discussion about internship pay, but I know plenty of "non-wealthy" folks who do internships. Its not exactly a rare thing to see.
You know what bugs me about slashdot? Just about every third comment makes stuff up in the hope that noone will call them on it, just so they can sound knowledgeable. Scratch that, thats what bothers me about most people who enter into a discussion-- their inability to shut up when they dont know what theyre talking about.
Scribus, LaTex, and Lyx dont run in wine, which was the discussion. I am aware that Linux has native publishing software; that is irrelevant when it comes to rolling it out Wine.
The email clients you might list dont have MAPI support which is all that matters in the vast majority of big companies out there. "Noone uses Outlook" just reveals that you dont do any IT work in any sizeable organization, which sort of makes this discussion pointless. Do let me know once you get Mutt working with shared Exchange 2010 mailboxes.
Oh look quark express is rated as "garbage" on Wine. Thats OK, we'll try a few others: Microsoft publisher:Garbage Adobe InDesign: Garbage (unless you want to use a fairly old version)
Other categories: Microsoft Outlook: Silver (some things are broken) Adobe Dreamweaver: Silver. To be fair, its only issue is "Sometimes crashes when creating a site. Installer doesn't work." Adobe Photoshop: Garbage
What an impressive showing, Im sure your IT department would green light that immediately.
I got mine for ~$500-600. 8 core AMD, 32GB Ram, 4 removeable drive bays, and all the expansion room I could ask for. Youre dreaming if you think this Mac Pro is gonna cost you any less than 4x what I paid.
And yet my brother found incompatibilities after about 1 week in LibreOffice, namely some callouts that he had in Word which got all screwed up in LibreOffice.
We arent imagining these things, and we're not super keen to dole out a few hundred for MS's benefit. These are real issues that prevent real users from using LibreOffice.
I used Linux because my harddrive took a dump in 2006, and I wanted to try something new rather than installing XP again. I used it steadily till ~2008, and then went to Windows 7 for roughly the same reason. Now im on Win8, again because I want to try something new.
Of course, with VMWare, the host OS is largely irrelevant except insofar as Windows is generally the best supported platform for Workstation.
Would that be the FUD whereby someone claims that WIndows software works "just fine" on Linux, despite needing hacks, losing the ability to scan into applications, and in many cases not getting beyond installation screens?
Wine has steadily improved over the years, but youre lying to yourself if you want to claim that as a general rule its a good alternative to a native environment.
Well, theres the whole "Unity is unbearably slow in a VM" issue with more recent builds to contend with, but I was using Ubuntu full time until 9.10, and using it off and on up to current versions.
The new "issue" is that Ubuntu some time ago decided that there was no need for TTY consoles or ctrl-alt-backspace, so fixing a borked 11.10 install that a friend has is an exercise in frustration.
The cop "investigates" by trying to identify people who are actively breaking that law. Cops do not have a general power to do investigation without a court order or at least reasonable cause.

So you think discriminating a political party and stereotyping everyone within it is ok?
Some people very clearly do believe that, yes. Im surprised you havent picked that up already from being on slashdot.
These views include disbelief in climate change
News to me.
skepticism science in general
Do tell!
Really, please do keep telling me what I believe. Here I thought I just had socially and fiscally conservative leanings; who knows what else you can tell me about my views!
Oh, Im sure it will be fine. That looks perfectly trustworthy.

That's silly. Privacy is a constitutional right
Thats right. Good old Article 9.

Rumor is they've found a way to efficiently brute-force low-level AES.
A rumor that hasnt been substantiated even after over a decade of analysis by top crypto experts around the world. Color me skeptical.
Im sure the NSA is good, but AES security has been pretty thoroughly tested, hammered, and inspected for chinks.
Bull.

- As much work for the employer as it is for the intern.
Good luck with that.
What about regular helium?
Just googled "average sentence murder". Google says,

"Offenders who have been sentenced to prison for murder or manslaughter will serve an average of 19.1 years...."

The free Paint.net is far superior to The Gimp, mostly because it doesnt look like The Gimp.
The Gimp has long been the best example of the worst interfaces that FOSS has to offer. Im not sure why youre trying to sing its praises.
