That's my solution too: I have one "real" panel (a 20" 1600x1200 4x3 panel) and one "short screen" panel (22" 1680x1050 16x9) that is rotated 90 degrees. Word processing docs and web pages work great on the short screen (wide screen) when rotated. In fact, I am typing this post on the rotated screen right now.
Link up one citation to this happening in the U.S. Sure, you can be abductd off to parts unknown, tried under a military court and executed, but in a US court we still have a Constitution and the Fifth Amendment.
You have the Fifth, until they declare you an enemy combatant and accuse you of conspiring against the government. {sarcasm}After all, if you weren't you could just give them your password right?{/sarcasm}
Space X used private funding to develop all of their space launch vehicles (of course, their largest paying customer is the Government, but they are paying by the launch like everyone else) . They are significantly cheaper than the alternative rockets which had been developed by defense contractors with government funds and cost-plus contracts. They are developing a system for launching people into space (again, using private funds but assuming the government will eventually pay by the launch to get astronauts into space). So you are wrong.
Has Space -X actually put anything in orbit? No. Are they working on it? Yes.
Perhaps your reading comprehension skills could use some improvement as OP stated:
Cite? So far, private enterprise has lobbed a few people up to the edge of space. It certainly hasn't put anyone in even LEO, much less sent them to the moon. Certainly private enterprise has built the components and hardware, but funding and operating the programs...?
They can subpoena your phone records from your service provider. How is this any different?
If you're infringing or breaking the law and someone has adequate proof of such, then I don't see where the problem is. You may be opposed to the law, but that doesn't change the fact that they can sue your ass and subpoena information.
You're right to privacy goes out the door once you're breaking the law. After that, they can get warrants and subpoenas to invade your privacy in any number of ways.
Law enforcement can subpoena for your phone records if you've been accused a breaking a criminal law. This ruling is saying a Privately held company that is accusing you of committing a civil infraction can now subpoena for your information.
I'm not going to deny the fact this is primarily for pirating; however the how banning on PSN is based off Sony detecting the app running on the console from the 'hack' program. If I read sources correctly the FOSS version allows you to change the AppID or naming on the console to the actual game's, which looks legit to Sony/PSN and circumvents their "protections."
In my lifetime I've yet to see a government in this country I'd trust as far as I could throw the Lincoln Memorial (with Glenn Beck's fat, stupid ass crying on the steps to weigh it down even more). Most of our elected officials seem to be concerned with nothing more than protecting their own images, enriching the people who they're getting bri... 'campaign donations' from and passing a bunch of useless bullshit to keep the ignorant masses behind them.
The "Install Packages" option at the top of XBM could also mean it's just running a 'demo' firmware, not necessarily a true Dev/Debug console. (note, not 100% sure whether Demos can run unsigned code).
He means no personal dedicated servers. Instead of the prior Battlefield games were the server files were released to public as "Unranked" servers you could run locally at lan parties for friends or on a co-located/Rented hardware we're stuck going with EA approved game server rentals that cost more than co-locating a server in a datacenter. Couple with the fact that most of the rentals are only at a couple major internet hubs, if you live out in BFE you will have ~200+ ping.
You know, a lot of people like the movie Avatar. I think my favourite part was when the researcher with the curly hair and glasses had the interface in front of him - and he wanted to talk away and take it with him, he held up his hand to it, clenched, moved his hand to his mobile device, and sprawled it - and it came right up on the device.
We are getting so close to that cool Minority Report kind of interaction.
We've had very similar technology like that for a couple years now. Vista supported Windows SideShow which is essentially what that researcher used in the movie. The only thing we didn't have yet was control of it via gesture, though with touchscreens it could be done.
Yes i actually watched the "Booyah" (?) shouting guy on CNBC last week. He was going on about how this was expected to shoot through the roof in the initial IPO but as a company faced too many hurdles (competition, public interest, etc.) to justify holding on to the stock long term. He said get in early, then get out early. Also, apparently some brokers make you hold IPO stock for 30+ days. He said basically don't use them then.
And that's one to grow on.
(The more you know?)
You mean Cramer?
The same guy Jon Stewart completely ripped apart 15 months ago for causing just about everyone who listened to him to lose their money during the financial melt down of 2008-2009? And at the end of the interview the point seemed to have been made to just do the opposite of what Cramer says if you actually want to make money. He's the interview: Part 1Part 2Part 3.
Too stupid huh? I put up with that job for six long years before I finally got fed up with the corporate policies enough to quit. I think the problem here is that you think that every company is guaranteed to be "customer-centric." Were some cases escalated once in awhile? Sure. Both nothing was accomplished from doing that due to the corporate office drones over-riding the actual CSR management team. As such, to not waste people time we just stuck to the rule book as it was less hassle overall.
Sure, if you actually have a corporate back-end that actually desires to provide quality service to the customer escalation can and will help, but if you don't have the back-end support you're just wasting everyone's time.
"It was some low paid drone in a call center who made the original decision."
You're absolutely right. But what is happening to us as a species when these drones are so concerned with "following the rules" that they can't show some human compassion? I am really sick and tired of drones who can't/won't help, even on a basic, simple request, because the rulebook says 'no'.
Having worked customer (dis)service, it generally comes down to:
A) Follow Rule Book and say "No." -- Keep job, even if low paying, in an economy that is still utterly tanked.
B) Fuck the Rule Book. -- Help some random stranger you really don't care about, who really doesn't care about you or the crap you put up with on a daily basis, which in turn places your job and livelihood at risk.
I'm sorry, but given the options most customer service representatives can choose from, they will undoubtedly go with the "cover your ass" approach to insulate themselves being detrimentally effected by poor decision-making. Was it right to charge an ETF to a grieving widow? No. But in business contracts are king. You signed it, deal with it.
You'll also need a consumer-level motherboard with ECC support. Which are not common, which means you'll be stuck with a server-grade motherboard which costs more, has potential to change: cpu compatibility, case compatibility, and features on the board itself.
There's alot more to making the change from non-ECC to ECC than just swapping out your ram.
In my International Management course we learned about an initiative to work with 3rd world countries to help provide 1 Watt Solar Panels, rechargeable batteries, and LED arrays as kerosene replacements. The systems only cost about $100 at the time (2 years or so ago) and it paid itself off in about 5 months due to the price of kerosene.

1680x1050 is 16x10 mate.

Law enforcement has a right, as we've given any hopes of privacy from them away years ago. A private company however should not have the right to start subpoena issuing based of their "investigation" work we've seen thus far. Case in point: That old lady that had been sued by the RIAA a couple years ago that didn't even have a computer. or RIAA suing the dead

As as someone who is an American I agree 100%.

Since it's not readily on psx-scene's main page and forums are hammered.. it works on firmware v3.41 :) and yes "pre-orders" appear to be $170 :(

Not exactly sure. But I am pretty sure that the answer to every one of those questions has the word "money" in it.
Really? I thought it was 42.

So every user has to install a driver? Even Joe Plumber trying to access your invoice history web server?
You just dont seem to get it.
In a corporate environment, the driver would be pushed out through WSUS.
Actually, we already tried that. George W Bush did a much worse job than Obama is doing.

I migrated my business and home use from XP several years ago. We now use Mac and Ubuntu Linux everywhere. Benefits:
- freedom from worry about malware (80% of XP malware runs on Win7, no malware in the wild for Mac and Linux)
-
Yeah.. except the first Mac botnet was discovered in the wild well over a year ago. While Windows is indeed a larger target for malware due to marketshare, claiming that there is no malware on MacOS and Linux is just an ignorant view of security.
How do you handle violent sex?
It's a violent pornography!
Choking chicks and SODOMY!
The kinda shit you get on your TV!
Obviously with System of a Down
Especially since, heyguesswhat, a Mac is a PC, too.
After you install Windows or Linux on it of course.
