Now I already realize these things must have some kind of scrambled frequency, but still generate enough interference and you have a drone.
An out-of-control drone. It's relatively easy to jam the control signal, but assuming there's any half-decent encryption involved, taking control would be much harder.
Well if we can use our computers more efficiently then we'll save energy. On the other hand I can't imagine what use the DOD would have for this, especially since they seem to run Windows at every opportunity...
For a 10x rate increase I'd let the disturbed employer watch me code their project. It would be pretty boring, but they asked to look at my mug, not be entertained. Their money. Also if I decide to take a break the only difference is that I have to keep a straight face if I read anything funny.
Actually your DNS requests can be encrypted and tunneled through TOR (just point your DNS requests at the SOCKS5 server). However they'll be decrypted at the exit node just like plaintext HTTP traffic.
Even if their numbers WERE honest they're still pretty frightening right now. China's CO2 emissions have almost gone vertical in the last ~7 years. If their emissions are much worse we are in some serious shit.
That said the US' per-capita emissions are pretty ridiculous compared to other countries, especially considering that most of the heavy industry has been outsourced. Either the average population is doing some things SERIOUSLY wrong or some insanely massive source of emissions is skewing the average.
It doesn't crash if the scan is run manually during startup, but it does crash if I initiate the scan manually once the OS is running (under drive properties).
The uranium pays off very well even after the energy input of mining and refining. It still doesn't require mining on the scale that coal does.
The wind turbines contain deadly neodymium magnets like most electric motors, which as anyone who has thrown out a hard drive or RC vehicle knows, are collected by guys in hazmat suits, placed in barrels and stored in Yucca mountain for all eternity.
Oh, wait, no, we just recycle them like it's no big deal.
Solar PV does require rare metals that must be mined, but solar PV on a large scale is idiotic so I hope the GP wasn't implying that any such plants would be built.
This. I bet they'd love if more 3rd-world countries with a small Internet user base would ask for censorship, so that they could pose heroically and say "NO little country, I will not censor, for I support freedom of speech!" while blocking TPB links.
Hey the Win7 start menu is great, I wish all OSes had something like it. You just type to search instead of having to navigate a big tree of submenus. Most Linux DEs have some kind of app search (like Gnome 2's Alt-F2), that's the closest thing they have to it, although Gnome 3 is coming out with a Win7-like menu.
I'll admit, if you buy a Blackberry because you just wanted a simple phone to call/text and maybe occasionally surf, and the BB turned out to be a better deal financially than a cheapo Nokia for some reason (or because you want the thumb keyboard), that makes sense. But in that case I should probably get off your lawn:-P

EVE lets you manage fleets but you can only *pilot* one ship.
Wait, doesn't TOR encrypt your DNS requests?
No.

...he said before tending to his virtual crops / fantasy world character / spaceship fleet.
If this goes through I may be the greatest war criminal in human history 8-(
China is king in CO2, no doubt about it. In CO2 per-capita they're relatively low, but their overall CO2 emissions dwarfs everyone else.
Even if their numbers WERE honest they're still pretty frightening right now. China's CO2 emissions have almost gone vertical in the last ~7 years. If their emissions are much worse we are in some serious shit.

You're right it's called CHKDSK now, but the point still stands.

Yeah yeah, I made a mistake. Rap battle instincts took over and chose the word that rhymed better.
I did disable swap entirely, but a few apps can't run without it, such as ScanDisk which will just fill the RAM and crash.
Aw crap made the infamous L vs. N mistake...that's what happens when you're laughing too hard.
I don't wanna talk to an astrologist, y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed!
They probably have the ICP on a watchlist.

That's what I did. I still have to turn it on for some apps though. ScanDisk crashes without it and Spider-Man: WoS wouldn't run.
They've even been adding POSIX compliance:

Oh, also, MS has caught onto the game, they ship a ceremonial SP1 within a few months of launch now.
I was running Win7 since the prerelease versions on my gaming desktop, no problems, even after I upgraded to the final release and then SP1.
I would say 98SE but I guess that doesn't count :-P
XFCE and LXDE are also still in the sane camp.
