And they have the temerity to complain when the world expresses in no uncertain terms that they are very much disliked for their shenanigans. Exploiting a cooperative international process for leverage "just in case" is plainly unconscionable.
Ought to nuke the fuckers, is what I'm saying. Oh, wait, you meant the US? never mind then, just passing through...
How's the brigade doing these days? It's been so long since I left, but I'd quite like to hear back from some of you guys. Wanna get together for a pint or something sometime, revisit the old days, go on a three-day binge like we used to?
And then we have this, let's say amusing press release from the RIAA. The short of it is that they would like ms. Thomas to go home and cry, long before the case has gone throgh the appeals routine. Their approach to presenting their view is that she is a horrible, horrible person for making use of the civil appeals etc. system.
I've been using computers since age 4, for some twenty years now. I've never had hand joint or tendon problems. Then again, I also do the sensible thing, i.e. I take stretching and walking around breaks every couple of hours.
Of course this is purely anecdotal. I might just have superior nordic hacker genetics or something.
The PCI bus isn't a bottleneck until you start getting over 120 megs a second down from a hard disk. Basic parallel PCI transfers up to 133 megs per second, theoretical, and even a single lane of PCI-e is quicker than that.
I wonder how much those four months of deliberation cost them. All that work just for some petty punishment. (of course you yanks only get like six days of paid vacation a year, so maybe it's harsher from your perspective, lol.)
You forget that it's extremely unlikely that the RIAA will see a red, wooden cent of any of these harsh, "example-making" judgements' amounts. Bankrupt people will generally turn to crime or off-the-books work just to avoid 80% of their income being taken to pay for the interest, which they would have no chance of covering even if they wore no clothes, lived in a gutter and ate leaves and acorns.
Buddy of mine got the black 360 (what was it again, extreme or extra or just X or something), supposedly one with the "board bending due to heat" problem addressed with some hot glue or something.
Lasted him all of a week before going 3 quadrants red. Not such a proper preventive fix after all, is it.
Are your numbers on single-precision computation, or double-precision? Because the PS3's Cell only does amazingly quick floating-point on single-precision values. Double precision is six, seven times as slow.
Yet it is unquestionably true that the mildly wired worker is more effective than the continually somewhat tipsy worker. Of course all of this is speculation and all has been said before; still, interesting coffee table discussion.
Quite right. Kids are good at following instructions, as long as those instructions make sense. Going completely over the top on the safety stuff leads to (deserved) disrespect towards those instructions and then, in some cases, may lead to the stupider kids doing stupid shit. But in the general case, kids are very very interested in their own safety around dangerous shit.
My country, shop classes in upper secondary and high schools teach kids basic tasks like how to operate very real, very serious tools from bandsaws to circular saws and lathes, welding (arc and two-gas), metalworking (the typical item made is an oversized spoon for throwing water in a sauna) and various techniques of soldering electronics components. Yet the number of accidents is very low, generally due to the quality of teaching is high across the board but most of all because kids 1) learn rather quickly and 2) with the exception of the dumb ones, have a very good instinct for self-presevation especially around tools that are designed so that they can be operated safely. I assume things are very similar in the US, at least in some of the more progressive states.
There's nothing I see as being particularly dangerous in a "miner jr." camp compared to a circular saw that'll cheerfully take off both of your hands at the wrist if you fuck up well enough. At least proper explosives are close as can get to inert until triggered, preferably from a healthy distance and then some. Hell, a mining explosives camp sounds like just the thing for children of mining families; not many places to train when you're young for the kind of thing your parents did.
Yeah. Smart kids, like me, convert it down to raw PCM audio and re-encode it either into a lossy format (Vorbis) or another lossless format (FLAC), hoping that there's no watermark in the output data...
Because who's to say that Apple restricted themselves to just the headers? Those are obviously replaceable, quicker than you can say "ready-made library for accessing that kind of chunked files".
To questions one, two, three, four and five: eat a cock, shithead. And by "cock", I mean "penis" -- the "meat" in front of the "two veg".
We don't need your kind around here. You want something for free, to make a profit out of? Fuck off. Go leech somewhere else. People shouldn't be answering questions for the likes of you, regardless of how frothy-mouthed they may be.

This here post is properly termed "insightful", rather than "funny". It may be funny because it's true, but it's insightful first.
Well, if the balls ain't touching...

Does one of these bundles come with two 360s? For, you know, the time when the first one will turn into 3/4 of a red circle.
This comment deserves a sole +5 insightful. Seriously. Demote other comments in this story if you have to.
Perhaps what you need is a good lawyer. Such as one of those discussed in the article.
Or a gun. You yanks are always about guns, right?
