Yes, the way he reports on his actions it seems like he was aware what was to happen next. But one can only assume that that was true for the CC employees or the doughnut cop too, especially the dumb cop. He was told the 'victims' name several times and the reason for not showing the licence. That should have given the dumbnut ample signs he was trampling over someones right, but he chose to ignore that and later had to come up with something vague that will never make it in court. People may indeed forgive and forget, but that is up to the victims discretion, not yours. Equally so, he may sue for a large amount, but that does not mean a thing until a judge agrees with that sum or the other party settles. if judges did not allow absurd amounts in compensation, people would be much less inclined to demand them. It's the whole system that is rotten, not just the complainants.
Indeed, just as easy it is to see that somebody with a nick of Goaway posting flammable material on/. is just a troll. In case you deny that: have you ever considered that there are hundreds of independent mirrors doing the distributing and that you could build your own mirror if you wanted to? Still an evil scheme to determine what is on your computer, much more evil than WGA that identifies the iduhvidual computer and sends along all installed software registry keys & licences?
while being fully aware that they are dying. The frailness of age is still not solved with it, but it will make healthcare even more costly as all people getting older will demand this or other costly cures. One should wonder if people will demand longer careers (past their 70s) to pay for this extension of life too.
I wonder if this 'fix' that they created has ever worked at all, or that the author worded it badly. He states that the throttle would not be noticeable with a 100Mb connection. If the user does not notice, how would the computer notice? Would the sending party start putting more data in the packets to compensate for the throttling? Anyhay, is is bad engineering and SteveB should be publically flogged for it (oh nos, SteveChairMans blubber on display! Oh the huge manatee!)
If you had even read the summary, you would have known that they are taking the fatty acids route. Bacteria store those (or more likely tri-glycerides) in their bodies as a reserve. At the end of the line the bacteria are harvested and their fatty contents separated. That produces some kind of oil, but is still too viscous to be used as diesel fuel. Some simple methylation steps separate the glycerydes from the fatty acids and attach a methyl (or ethyl) group instead. This is basic chemistry and any Waste Vegetable Oil converting freeloader (usually the WVO is free if you collect it yourself) can do it. It is rather shocking how unknowledgable/. has become lately. Is the US school system so bad or have you all dropped out of it?
It is only nitpickings that a judge is not part of the government. Lets hope for the Americanites that the next president after BabyBush will not be as corrupt as him.
They suggest they will be using a Li-ion battery. I sincerely hope for them they will be using LiFePo chemistry, as ordinary Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries only last around 200-500 cycles.(NiMH is similar and weighs two times more) That means you'd have to buy a new battery every one or two years. The batteries as produced by a123systems can handle 1000-2000 cycles according to the manufacturer. These batteries are a bit heavier, but live longer, don't 'explode' in a crash and are a bit cheaper at ~$1/WattHour.
these vehicles are not the same as the vehicle that the article is about. It is not about to go on sale this year or the next. There is nothing that you can order yet, so there is nothing you can crash test. The test was with a totally different vehicle. If one SUV did bad in a crash test (like killing some bystanding dummies that were not even in the test), does that make all SUVs bad? (well OK, SUV are still bad, but for other reasons). Some other poster pointed out your strawman is called g-wiz(made in India), which is a different vehicle,made in different factory. Or are all electric vehicles the same?
Thank you for your confirmation that all/most people in the military are idiots. No wonder, how else could they think that signing up is a good idea. Did you notice that this was a cold-flow test with no munitions, rockets etc. involved? Like the previous poster said: you're an ass. No go look for you haversack.
It's good that you documented your struggles with installing eclipse. I too have found it a pain to install. But you have only summed up your problems (and is for a development environment FCS! you should be able to hold up your own trousers). You did not address any of the advantages of using the distribution provided package manager, some that I listed above (the rest is obvious, for instance reduction of maintenance). Calling for a monolithic package will do away with a lot of these advantages. Your problem is not caused because of limitations of the package manager(s), but because nobody has taken the time to create a suitable meta-package. Exactly the same situation as for a monolithic eclipse package (I hope...). You should call for an solution to the problem (1-click installing of eclipse) and not specify the technical implementation. Like this blob-package the heisa was about, If the developers had been familiar with package-management concepts and knew/studied how to build a package, they could have made the superior solution in about the same time.
I completely second the above statement. Nothing is more stupid then creating a package of your own, that installs other software bypassing the package manager. Since there is no oversight/credibility, it is a very good way to root other machines: just release something that appears to be usefull and install a little backdoor in it. Make sure the payload is delayed to avoid immediate detection, you can just hide it somewhere in that huge tarball as nobody will like to sift through all that stuff. That is a very good reason to only install software through your package manager combined with trusted repositories. The way to do this thing properly, is to make a metapackage that depends on the packages you want installed and as a post-install edit the configfiles that you need for the whole to function. When you have made that package and you are not a debian or ubuntu developer, get in contact with some and find out what the proper procedures are to get your package in the distro. That way, other people will vet your package, point out those bugs and make sure that it works together with the rest of the distro.
Why in Chtlus name a link to the daily mail? I got sick from all the pictures of bikini clad babes that were supposedly famous (oh! she broke her leg while doing house chores) FCS dress up or take it all off (&make that porn movie)....
You sir, are an egoist asshole. You derive pleasure form seeing other people suffer and are willing to pay for that privilege. One would hope that switching to a single-payer system as used in Canada or lots of countries in Europe would eliminate pricks like your from society, that your would die a horrible painfull death because you were denied the liberty to pay for a gold-plated treatment instead of the one every one else gets. But alas, life doesn't work like that, even over here were have a plenty supply of pricks just like you.
The moment you wish to start selling appliances(like you do) the software is only a minor part of it. All the other problems of manufacturing and marketing will be a much bigger hurdle. You are not disclosing what market you will be aiming at, which makes me guess that it's a new market that has not proving its profitability yet. Lastly you have decided to go closed source, but you are not letting us in on how you came to that conclusion. That makes me think that you know your reasons for closed source are weak, and you are just trying to dodge the flak on it. That makes you stubborn and thus inflexible. I think you are not seriously considering anything like this, you just found a good way to stir the pot and enjoy looking who is taking your flamebait. Yes, I did too, always glad to make some loser happy.
perhaps I may suggest you get some more info before you open your trap? You got a point that unless you are heavily invested with all the info about a conflict, you cannot make a good judgment on it. But nobody was asking for your judgment, and you still spouted your 'that can mean anything' judgments. You may also tell me what party AI or other human rights watch organizations are in these conflicts? Maybe you can at least expect some form of objectivity from them? All in all these photos are not conclusive proof that these atrocities were committed by one particular party. But they will serve as very good supportive evidence when (if ever) these cases are brought before a real judge.
And on what count is a lipo dying from overdischarge bogus? I'll grant you that the charge and cutoff logic is usually integrated in the battery pack, but only if you have separate batteries for it (like cellphones do). One of the problems with a certain generation of ipod was that the battery died after one year. How is that for faulty charging/low voltage protection? The hypothetical situation as I described is pretty stupid, but not that far in pi in the sky land.
It could very well be that with normal consumption you never reach a significant dose that has any effect at all.
It damages your DNA. Dosage, in the way you're talking about it, doesn't enter into it. The way you're using the term is the "LD50" type (Lethal Dosage 50% of the time). This additive will not kill you directly at the dosage in soda. What it *will* do is damage your DNA, so the damage is cumulative--the more you drink, the higher your risks, unlike a poison which will kill after a certain threshold.
May I suggest a smidgen more biology in your knowledge? DNA is constantly damaged just by natural causes alone, let alone what happens in the sunshine. The cellular mechanisms are well in place to repair just that damage, and in most cases where damage is too extensive, the cell pulls the emergency brake and goes into programmed cell death (apoptosis). That means that there is a minimal dose below which something is no longer toxic, there are no exceptions because it involves something you have trouble understanding (DNA). Noble savage was indeed the correct translation of le bon sauvage, though.
Ok, let's see. The logic for the charging process (it features a Lithium-polymer battery) is offloaded to the CPU, so when the inevitable crash comes that leaves the unit hung and the user leaves it in that state, the battery will drain past the safe threshold, ruining its capacity. One bug (and one user mistake)leaves the device unusable...
(this is offcourse pure speculation for those who love that kind of stuff)
How funny that you first declare 'study after study confirms it', but instead of supplying a link to one of those studies, you supply some personal anecdotes. At least you are not helping with that research, are you? The best evidence is obtained with scientific methods like proper double blind test setups, not a bunch of personal anecdotes. You know what causes headaches too? DiHydrogenMonoOxide (DHMO). It is added to countless foodstuffs but it leaves the body unchanged. What kind of freaky chemical is that? People have died from an overdose of DHMO, you know?
You are deluding yourself. What you present as evidence is nothing more than anecdote. Great if you feel better about yourself, but there is no evidence to convince others of your freaky methods. I hope you know that the whole 'organic' movement is pure marketing with no proven health benefits whatsoever? People love to be fooled if it makes them feel superior. You are still fool[ed], but we could deduce that from the fact that you were in the army. (What are the added health risks of being in the army?)

Your mind must be warped even more in that you think you can judge somebody else's mind on the basis of three sentences.

So your comment was rather superfluous, except for the 'I' part. Which we are not interested in.
