So they found this guys DNA on a lighter in the girls bag... and that lighter was sold at local markets at the time? So it's not even remotely possible this guy stopped at a market, flicked the lighter a couple of times and moved on before this girl, or whomever her killer is bought it?
Sounds like this guy just gave everyone that works for him that's over 40 and didn't get a raise last year a pretty good excuse for a lawsuit. Serves him right, fucking bastard.
I think this has been the quiet revolution over the past 10 years or so. The peaking of the graphics card wars, users shelling out $600 for a top of the line card, then still having trouble running newer games... people just got burnt out on it. Consoles running so hot, heating issues were a real problem... and then along comes the WII, social games, browser games... There's still a lot of us, myself included that like an immerse environment... But is it really worth the investment of a used car every couple of years? I think we've collectively decided that it's not.
The questions you're asking are really for a corporate entity. Ok, I cant install steam at work... I wasn't going to anyway. But do we really give a shit about this at home? I certainly don't.
We're a year or 2 away from every electronic device you own, actually watching and listening to everything you do, 24/7... and not only that, but understanding the meaning behind what you're saying and doing, not just recording it. If that doesn't scare the shit out of you, then you're fucking retarded. Sure, it's great when Googles using it to sell you toasters... but who the fuck else is going to use it? Nothing but bad can come of this.
But wait! I thought the iPhone was the most popular phone on the market? You mean to tell me Apple skews their market stats by only having one model of phone? When did they start doing that? oh wait... iPod... iBook... iMac... damn, I sense a trend...
So far, the only thing on earth that can "Speak" is a person. Organizations are not only made up of people, but when they state things, someone had to write or speak that. Now you could argue that the individual speaker retains those rights, and the org does not... but the rights still exist. You can not, for example, prevent organizations from producing political adds. This was always unconstitutional... and it just took a long time for the court to finally address it. Does this right create huge problems? Definitely! Citizens united is a total pain in the ass, but they were correct. The solution to this problem eludes me, but stifling the speech of a few is not the answer.
Ya, it'd be easier to just do it right, but I imagine you could setup a firewall to... I dunno... not allow an entire database of several hundred meg to be dumped to a single request.
He's just trying to reenforce the stereotype that all apple users are uninformed, arrogant douche bags that will take any opportunity to pop the brand name "Apple" into a conversation.
128k on a DSL line IS broadband. You just don't understand what the word means. If the FCC however made a rule that said "If you sell 10mb/s service to a residential customer, that customer should be able to recieve that speed 99% of the times they test it" that would solve the problem once and for all. It would also end this nonsense with net neutrality. The ISPs would no longer care about traffic shaping because it wouldn't do them any good. Unfortunately our political leaders are bought and paid for. They will do whatever ATT asks them to.
They shouldn't. You should get a 1.5mb connection and pay less. It will serve your needs well. I should get a 30MB connection and pay for it. It will serve my needs well. We should BOTH get the bandwidth we paid for, even if we cap it out. The problem isn't the customers, the problem is ISPs selling 30MB connections for $20/month and then setting a cap so low I could hit it in under an hour. They're doing this to attract customers with high speeds at low prices, but once they have the customers they're refusing to let them use the product they rightfully purchased because they only charged the customer enough to support 1/10th the speed they promised. This problem will not be solved by the ISPs... they are locked into a price war. The FCC needs to step in a setup rules for speed/caps, etc... They need to test ISPs and make sure they are delivering what they are offering. This "up to 20Mb!" and then getting less than 1Mb nonsense needs to end.
This is a rather silly problem. If you have a shortage of a particular kind of worker in any industry, the cause of that problem is very simple: You're not paying enough. We live in a relatively free market, when you want something that's in short supply, you get it with $$$, not whining to the press.
Total nonsense. Our current musical scale is a human creation and has nothing to do with how sound works. "Dissonance" is simply 2 notes combined that the listener is not used to. What was considered dissonant before we could create whole tones with a bow? Have you ever heard tribal music where the players have no way of tuning their instruments to each other? It's about as "dissonant" to your average city folk as you can get, but the villagers love it because they're used to it. A very long time ago, before the current musical scale was settle on, standard music was written in your basic C scale. There were no sharps or flats. Then some crazy bastards started writing music with half tones, so they had to make the sharps and flats... that's when they realized that not all of the notes were evenly spaced, hence the missing B and E sharps. At the time, sharps/flats were likely considered very dissonant and unpalatable, but as time went on they became the norm. Now there are people experimenting with 24, 32 and 100 tone scales. Think of the ultra simple beginning to "Iron man" by black sabbath... how simple and rudimentary it is. Now imagine someone from the 1900's hearing it... they likely could even bare to listen to it.
You assume a work around is needed. Intelligence is not the only measure of a man. Live a happy, honest, hardworking life while only having an IQ of 80, and I'd say you've done better than most geniuses.
They did the same thing with Windows7 and DX10.. The result? Game publishers didn't write DX10 games for a LONG time, and if they did the games would work in DX9 or 10 via a settings change. There are still games out there that don't support DX10. Way to go MSFT... how many times can you shoot yourself in the foot before you finally bleed out?
How to we mod an entire article as "Flamebait" or "troll"?
Because, you know, disagreeing with a black president doesn't automatically make you a racist. When a black president wins an election there's an uptick in racist comments? You don't say... who'd have thought the racists would say more stupid stuff when a minority achieved something? Obama won the election, there's no need to this "racism is the only reason anyone wouldn't vote for him" nonsense anymore. It was bullshit before the election and it's bullshit now. I didn't vote for him because of his policies, not his ethnicity... I didn't vote for Mit either... but I really do hate Mormons. You get to pick your religion after all...

Doesn't matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

That's awesome, I'm ordering one immediately.
Your car has a tank full of explosives.
If it involve spending more money and reducing our freedoms, I'd assume a quick and decisive consensus.
It's all true! Unless you're suggesting vegans don't lie/cheat/whatever.... vegans are whores... it's the only reason anyone puts up with their shit.

Yet another example of how the Constitution needs a bit of rewriting to deal with the problems of the day.
You seriously want our current politicians... democrat or republican... to do a bit of "rewriting" of the constitution? You're fucking nutz.

Tyrants are almost always the majority. That's why we have constitutions and such. To protect the minority from those in power.
and gas prices... and more intrusive government supervision of the internet...
