I'm sick and tired of seeing these ethics-free corporations buy their way out of trouble without actually admitting to wrong-doing. If they aren't willing to sign a public statement that says, "We broke the law, but we'll save everybody a lot of trouble and money by simply paying for our criminal acts", the state should prosecute them to the full extent of the law, and use the well-established cowardice of market traders to drive down the stock price with carefully-timed announcements, added charges and perp-walks for the CEO's.
Enough of this bullshit! It's time to take the Free World back from these conscienceless scumbags.
Now if they could only find an algorithm to distill out drunken assholes, perhaps they could even figure out whether intelligent life actually existed on these planets...
I can't disagree with a word you say, but NASA, unfortunately, has become one of very few games in town, and it's a pity to see so much expertise squandered.
This is indeed news of the highest importance, and a technological feat worthy of major consideration in the scientific community! I've got a Moderator Point. Now if I only had a Nobel Prize vote...
These idiots assumed that the games weren't fixed. Hence the crappy results. If they wanted a reasonably accurate (give or take) estimate of who was going to get to the semi-finals in the World Cup, they should have consulted a London bookie...and guaranteed his place in some kind of witness protection program, of course.
You should WTFE. I didn't want to describe the whole thing, but they did a lot more than just provide proof of concept. Among the other things they did was to document how an innocent guy got nailed as a liar because he was nervous.
Senator Lieberman will, of course, ensure that Israel's Likud Party has a copy of whatever enabling codes are necessary to instigate the takeover. Because, of course, how can the US be safe without Israel's firm hand on the tiller of America's ship of state?
I come at it from the other direction. I know people who won't drink coffee after 7 at night, claiming it will keep them up. They look at me like I'm some kind of mutant when I tell them I can have a large mug of it and go straight to sleep afterward.
I plan on printing TFA off and waving it under a lot of noses. Once again, geeks strut, pound our narrow chests and proclaim our mastery over humanity.
Excellent idea. People who don't believe as you do should just choose another career field and abandon these areas of public service to obsequious, self-righteous prigs and their authoritarian god-bosses. Great recipe for a police state, but not for a free country. There's not a shred of objective proof her performance on the job was affected in any way. In a free society, that should be the end of the story.
If you want to live and work in an environment Chairman Mao would have given the thumbs up to, that's entirely your business. When you claim it's OK for others to be forced into that appalling lifestyle, you're going where you have no right to go.
As long as your physical performance on the job isn't affected, your employer should have no right to use what you do outside of work hours against you, unless they're paying you to be on-call (and even then, there should be limits).
The only real answer is Linux. If you want to let kids play with something different, that's it. Keep Windows because that's also typically attached to computers you can tear apart and rebuild. Apple...I don't know. They might turn all douchy if you set the kids loose on it and let them do what they want.
Internal SATA/PCI card. They'll have at least two, and probably more sockets for SATA2 drives. Easy, cheap and efficient. I've got an old IBM Intellistation...cost me $250. The boot drive is SCSI. There's an open SCSI connection. It has 2 IDE sockets (which would accept 4 drives) and one SATA socket. I bought a PCI-SATA2 card with two more sockets. That's all I need. I could have got one with 4 just as easily, and almost as cheaply. With a slightly newer configuration, I could have done PCI Express - SATA2 even cheaper.
So if I wanted to just install hard disks, I could put 9 in. For the bucks, you can't beat it. And twin processors keep things plugging along nicely. It isn't terribly fast, but you can't make it grind.
74 years ago today a psychotic Norwegian Brown Rat coupled with an unknown venomous reptile released by a frightened owner into the New York City sewer system. Several months later the first Parking Cop slithered up out of a storm drain, and life has never been the same since for car drivers in various cities around the world.
The horrible new creature was able to subsist on little more than dung and rotting garbage, produced a new litter with every single case of copulation, and gets horny when abused.
Womanyellingslowdownasshole is expected to join Mandriva on the auction block later this month. The two systems will run on the same machine, but never happily.

I can see why they compared the two. Having enjoyed some pot, who doesn't want chips?

Just in time for Global Warming.

You're wrong.

Penn and Teller taught an average person to fool a lie detector in about thirty minutes on their show, "Bullshit".

Well, at least you demonstrated your caffeine vulnerability an an appropriately geekish fashion.

"That's a really nice smart phone, man! But doesn't a screen that size really suck power"
"Well, yeah, a bit, but it comes with a 20 rat-power charger. Fifteen minutes in the cage and it's good to go."

That we'll never, ever, EVER do it again until the next time.
They're such a boar.
No, it works on all cancer patients who spell properly.
