"It makes a whole lot more sense to put the effort into getting the right code onto the disc before it ships."
I concur with your statement, and wish more SW development organizations adopted. In reality managers don't think that's a priority. Getting the code (sw, app, driver etc) out the door and into customers hands is more of a priory. Working in a fortune 100 company, administering build machines I see this attitude everyday. Does not matter if there is dead code, or its a little off. Its all about getting the product out so company can make more $$$.
Obama made a lot of promises during his run for president.There is no law that states he can't lie, but he he did. He got votes, elected president as people assumed there would be 'change' for them, instead there was change for the elitists, banks and wall street. (bad grammer but dont care)
This should not be new for anyone.. He's not the first President to lie to Americans to gets votes for his personal agenda. Bush did it too, but he also rigged the election which was later proven, yet no one is punished.
America needs to wake up! Big banks still rule, wall street has not changed. The Obama administration lies to us and takes away our constitutional rights everyday.
What everyone has failed to mention (maybe someone did but I did not see the post) is that there are BOTS that are doing thousands of transactions LOWERING the value of bitcoin. These bot owners are lowering the value for there mission or some one else. Either way, the bot owners are FUKING with the bitcoin market. Exchanges have failed to stop this, and their excuses is free market. There are WAYS to fix this, but its up to the exchanges who are not doing a single thing.
Some of the bots have been in the news, while others have not. There has been people that have been tracking and trying to combat these bots, but nothing will change unless the exchanges DO SOMETHING.

I would not be surprised if there were more.
Bioware Montreal is a dedicated team working on the multiplayer aspect of ME3.
Bioware has stated multiple times within the past few days that single player is MOST important and by adding multiplayer it WILL NOT take away from the single-player experience.
I see it as ANOTHER AWESOME choice for players to have. You can do the entire single player campaign by yourself beat the game etc. BUT if you want help or want to play with friends then they can co-op with you etc. The multiplayer actions you take WILL reflect the single player campaign but that only makes sense that it would.
Good point, related experience is better.
For me I started in customer service doing phone tech support and various other things that were customer service driven. My customer service skills have helped me in various IT related issues where I had to get the IT stuff done, but also being customer orientated. I would do something similar if you have no customer service skills, or no IT experience. Tech support sux, but you got to start somewhere.
Now, I'm sys admin for a fortune 100 company...:-| Pays the bills, but you get the idea.:)
Great topic, I concur!
I've got one dedicated mining rig with two 6870's. I'm getting more than 300Mhash a card, but that's tweaks I can't talk about.:)
Fair warning, If you decide to join a pool be CAREFUL what pool you join. Some have fee's and you're forced to donate. Some of these pools are also skimming off the top.. I.E saying you submitted 5000 shares, when you really submitted 10000 shares.... I'm currently mining @ bitcoinpool dot com, so far no issues. Pool ops stay on top of things and are alot more verbose when it comes to stats while the other pools are unwilling to share as much data.
It's your opinion that Win7 is damn good and superior than XP. We do not agree..
I agree on a lot of points that Goldberg Pants made.
Win7, came from Vista. Look how bad Vista is..
MS may have added some features to Win7 that XP does not haveâ¦..but are these features REALLY needed/wanted?
For example, home groups, and how MS destroyed networking and its functionality. Home groups are a POS. They add a layer of complexity that's NOT needed. Instead of just plugging in, you now have to deal with homegroups until you disable those services. It's a huge PITA!
Another note, why in the hell did MS rename common things to something else? Why did they move shit around when everyone knows where it is, and how to get to it. It's like walking in your house, and seeing your bathroom where your kitchen use to be. MS really fuked up this aspect imho.
I could keep ranting, but its time to go home, and I'd rather leave the office now than later.
Oh, the topic.. I break out my original Gameboy, or my N64 once in awhile.:)
Really, looking at child porn from a net cafe?
What is law enforcement going to do about these wack jobs that use anon interwebs in the privacy of there home?
I really have to question law enforcement and there actions if they always give the "child pr0n" argument. It's a horrible thing, but come up with a better reason why you want to obstruct our privacy.
Republicans, democrats, Libertarians.. As far as Im concerned and I don't care what party they rep but they have ALL failed as being representatives for THE PEOPLE of America. We are all humans in the end. Greed, and power is all they care about these days. It's sad, but true.
Exposing the govt, and having visibility is the only way the people will regain control.
I could rant all day long, but I wont as most of us realize how bad things really are.
Pipe dream? I sure as hell hope not...
This seems to be a great idea, but in practice how would it look? If this was implemented, I could see many people jumping on the bandwagon to sue the pants off MS for making unsecured, buggy software. Interesting indeed!
61% want a kill switch because they are non IT people that really dont care. While the other 39% of people have a clue and realize how much of a disaster it will be if the pres has a kill switch to our interwebs.
What a dumb solution. Why not just buy a monitor with the correct/best resolution? 1600x900 looks and feels weird. Maybe its okay to type a doc, but otherwise no thanks. Why should we have to 'deal' with it and buy another? Sounds like some of you just have money to waste.
I picked up two 24" samsung LCD that has a max viewable rez of 2048x1152...50000:1 etc.. Great LCD for under $250. No issues with any of the games I play, or the hundreds of movies I watch on them in the last year.
It really comes down to what's the best view for you. Me, I like widescreens where I'm not limited to 1680x1050 or 1600x900.
I'm not forced to watch commercials when I download everything I watch. There are NO commercials; That's the way I like it.
Since TV is already a huge waste of time commercials just piss me off more. I don't watch TV because of commercials.. I'd rather download what shows I want to watch commercial free.:)
Web-Based 'Private' file storage does not exist IMO. This private data that's on the web. The server the data is hosted on will get cracked, or the database will be compromised and then cracked....its just a matter of time...
If you have all this private data in your work email, then its you're fault. Stop sharing now, delete what you can before you die. Use another email client/service when at work to send dirty emails to your wife, and use the work email for work!
br>
You should start trying to secure this private data @home where it could be physically secure, as well as offline. Transfer this data from once PC to another with an encrypted USB stick etc.. Just an idea.
"Article III federal judges" (as opposed to judges of some courts with special jurisdictions) serve "during good behavior" (often paraphrased as appointed "for life"). Judges hold their seats until they resign, die, or are removed from office. "
Supreme court judges are for life, unless you're a quitter like Justice Stevens. Some judges do want a life outside the courts, so they call it quits.. But generally speaking.. they die first.
Slavery is not making $100k+ per year jackass. You have the wrong definition of slavery.
I stopped playing MW2, and started playing Bad Company 2. There are dedicated servers, and there are measures put into place to ban cheaters. Something that MW2 did not have, and it seems like IW did not care about cheaters.. So I will not be buying the new COD game.. I actually would like to see if I can return MW2 and see if I can get some of my money back... what a waste of $$$.

co-workers don't appreciate me anyways, so what's another day?
If I appear 'not busy' then I must be goofing off. Only when I'm running around fixing servers is when I'm truly working? pfff.
It's when sys admins are goofing off is when everything is running smooth! Luckly that's how my weeks go!
Dunno about you, but I'd prolly punch him in the face with a Guy Fawkes Mask. Should get the point across.
F@H will not pay my bills like bitcoin does.... So there is no wasted GPU cycles....

Depending on your technical abilities, and the feedback from your host I would try backtrack (http://www.backtrack-linux.org)
I sure hope he finds that giant octopus he speaks of.

If its good people will buy it. If utter sh*t, we wont buy it. Same goes for movies, games etc.
And RIAA/MPAA will never learn as they are not helping the artist, but putting more $$ into their own pocket.

You seem to be the dumbest fucking person on earth. Supreme Court justices are appointed for life you fucking jackass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_judge.
