Or you could realize the performance difference between this card and a decent card from 2 years ago is like 5%... and also that there's not a single game on the market that would really tax a card thats 1/3rd the price and finally realize, like the rest of us did years ago, there's absolutely no point in spending more than $200 on a video card unless you're doing professional 3D rendering.
The poster worded it poorly, but the affect was the same. Why did the bank chose to review his account right at this second? Government pressure. They were also all well aware that he wouldn't be able to come and pick up the money.
He has to release it a bit at a time. The fact of the matter is, they have many many huge stories. If they release several bombshell issues at once, they are likely to have some of them ignored by the media because they'll just go after the most sensational stuff. They are playing the media like they should play the media.
I dunno if you've noticed lately but: A. The government is taking down domain names without warrants B. The government is pressuring hosts to remove services C. The government is encouraging if not mandating ISP to throttle bit torrents D. The government is tracking US citizens Via their Credit cards, telephone conversations, Internet traffic and cellphones without warrants. E. All sorts of other nefarious things we aren't aware of yet...
Seriously, this is turning into a bad Oliver Stone movie.
It's not weird. Every politician in the country is terrified that their own personal correspondence is going to get aired. So Amazon probably got more calls from more political officials in it's government relations departments history, threatening to do everything from file suits against them for helping a "known terrorist" to instituting a new "Click to buy" tax or maybe even a federal internet sales tax to help reimburse states. The government has nothing but leverage in this particular situation.
Ah, but it is. Most people eat what's called "Cassia" which is a spice from Asia that is similar to Cinnamon but is definitely not Cinnamon. They label it as such, but as with most things it's a lie.
So the projector would have to track every pair of eyes in the audience and project a separate beam to each and every eye? Buahahahahahahaha Not saying it's impossible, just saying it's fucking retarded.
Wait what? This happened TWICE while he was in Sweden? Was it 2 women in a single encounter? Or 2 women at separate times? How huge is this mans penis that he's breaking condoms left and right? And how on earth is this even remotely provable? "Hey, we were having consensual sex and half way through I changed my mind. Throw that guy in jail!" Finally, they charge him 2 DAYS AFTER HE RELEASES THE LARGEST GOVERNMENT LEAK IN HISTORY?!?!? Is that not even remotely fishy?
I HATE Conspiracy theories, but this is just a little to ridiculous for even me to fall for.
Actually, they are in more of a monopolistic postition than microsoft was. Microsoft has at dozens of other OS's that can run on PC Hardware. Apple is the ONLY OS that can run on theirs. You're locked in a contract, can't put any other OS on the phone and they won't let you see competing products on that phone. At least with a PC you could tell MSFT to go stuff it and install Ubuntu or something. With the IPhone you literally have to throw the device away and pay huge fines. Seems worse than a monopoly to me.
Microsoft gets sued for simply including it's own browser in it's OS, meanwhile Apple literally trys to prevent its users from even know a competing product exists by limiting their access to actual journalism. Where's the EU now? Where are the antitrust lawsuits? Imagine if Microsoft wouldn't allow you to go to Apples website?
yea no, water boarding sucks and I disagree with using it. I'd even say that we should pass a law. But it's in no way torture and calling it such diminishes what true true torture is.
I don't need to produce numbers, you did it for me. Even if everyone the entire world switched to electric cars today, and they did upgrade Coal power plants like they were supposed to (and they wont) the fact of the matter is we'll be right back where we're at today within 10 years. Not that it matters as the primary source of pollution is not automobiles. The cargo ship bringing the car or the parts for the car will most likely cause more pollution carrying it than the old gasoline car you're replacing would in its entire lifetime.
The solution is simple. To receive the injections you must a. Have never had a natural child of your own. b. agree to be permanently sterilized. Adoption would of course still be an option.
1. No country is above this. Most of Slashdot readers have even dabbled in this as some point or another. 2. No they don't. And they're right. It's only a matter of time before the US government figures out a way to crush wikileaks in a way that makes no one else ever try it again. 3. Plenty 12 year olds have the capability of launching a DDoS attack. The US wouldn't be tipping any hand. And, just because they are under a DDoS attack doesn't mean that's all that's going on. This may very well be a symptom or a diversion of something else entirely.
Yes, wikileaks is DDoSing their own site for attention. On the day they probobly got more hits than any other site on the internet they feel the need to DDoS themselves so no one can read what their publishing, so they can get more attention... even though they already have every News organization and Political party on earth staring directly at them. You're brilliant.
Again? Why has slashdot become a marketing platform for apple? They sell overpriced, inferior products to idiots that don't know any better. How many people do you know that own an Ipone? Now how many people do you know that own a blackberry? The only reason Apple is doing well at all is because they are able to sell a $200 for $500 because people like their commercials. This isn't news for nerds, it's news for yuppies.

That's why you pay cash.

Go to Walmart. You can pick up a credit card in the checkout that you can load with cash right there. No name, no address to trace back to you.
Profit trumps ideology any day.

No shit? I think the leak I'd find most interesting is all the correspondence between wikileaks, congress and their respective providers. lol
They could have simply dropped their case rather than put themselves in legal jeopardy like they did.
Yea no. You don't know what your talking about. Windows IS more virus prone but with just a little common sense it's fairly easy to keep clean.
Sandstorm + Solar Array = ???

Real Cinnamon is rare and expensive, toxic chemicals usually aren't. Which do you think China's going to decide to use?
So I get to trade being tracked by people that want to sell me cookware for being tracked by the federal government?

Why does it have to be someone other than the US? lol
