If the game has to slow to 10% how does that prove anything good?
It's not the game that gets slowed down, it's the star system (and maybe the surrounding deployment systems) where that battle happens, which gets slowed down with what CCP calls Time Dilation, nicknamed "TiDi" by EVE players.
That's something completely different and IMHO a clever way of handling things. Other players in different parts of EVE's universe won't be affected and can continue to play as if nothing has happened.
I like all three of them (Connery, Moore, Brosnan). Each for his own style.
Although Connery also tried to play the 'smart'/'womanizer' moments, I never could connect to him being a British gentleman. I see him more like the 'tough guy'.
Moore for me brought a lot over-acted self-irony to the Bond series. To me it feels like he played each scene with an blink of an eye. He fully fullfilled the British gentleman stereotype, but his action scenes weren't as good as Connery's.
Brosnan somehow managed to combine both for me: Connery's 'tough guy' and Moore's 'very british' and he felt right in both cases.
Now, I'm not sure how the different Bonds would work out in the other's stories. But one thing I know for sure: what set the Bond movies apart for me all the time, was the 'britishness' of the hero. With Daniel Craig, we've reached the 'just another Hollywood action hero' stage, making the Bond movies interchangable with a lot of other action movies. I'm not blaming Craig for this, but rather the desperate attempts of the script writers/directors to 'modernize' the franchise. Franchise, a term I read/hear with growing frustration and anger, it's synonymous to 'cater to the (current) masses taste, no experiments, please!'
You can refuse to accept that things you don't like cannot change and choose to try to improve them while still contributing something worthwhile. I don't agree with Sarah Sharp's assessment, but I respect her for trying to make something she cares about better rather than abandoning it because she doesn't like some small part of the whole system.
I feel like that's the wrong approach to the topic. This has IMHO nothing to do with (changing) things, but with (changing) people. Which I consider to be a bad thing. "Retrain" people whose behaviour you don't like? That's what totalitarian regimes did and do.
It also begs the question: why should Linus change, why doesn't she?
I'll take a leader who leads people places they want to go over leaders that go wherever the hell they want any day of the week.
The problem with Merkel is though: she leads us to places where she think the people want to go and after we just arrived there, she does a 180 degree turn and 'leads' us back to where we came from (sometimes even further).
While I admire people that are honestly able to admit an error, I despise people that seem to have no own opinion/conviction.
We have elections in September. Say I'd be interested in voting for her, who should I believe? The Merkel who almost immediately reversed the nuclear-power-exit strategy layed out and fixed in law by the former socialdemoctarts/green government. Or the Merkel that reversed the reverse after Fukoshima happened?
This is just one prominent example. She has changed her opinion on so many fields in the past, that menawhile even larger parts of her own party have a hard time to follow her around on each u-turn.
I'm also using ESET Nod32 and find it to be lightweight compared to other scanners I use/used. It also integrates nicely into Thunderbird and hasn't missed a malicious attachment there. Only annoyance with that is that there's no option to 'repeat this action for next findings'. This sometimes results in a clickfest when one of those malware waves is in full swing. Other than that there's not much to complain.
It depends on the disclaimer, the content of the message, and who you are.
Incorrect;-)
At least in Germany such a disclaimer could make you even more liable than no disclaimer. Courts assume by adding a disclaimer you're trying to avoid to follow due dilingence, which is a punishable petty offense of its own.
So a disclaimer not only doesn't protect you a single bit, it even makes matters worse.
How did he figure out the address to send the problem report to?
TFA has a screenshot of the server error message which shows the real domain (zynga-themepark.com). Not too difficult to figure out the real address given the fact that he's a web developer.
Nuclear is good, but old reactor designs are spectacularly bad.
Funny, as we've always been told that all the reactors being built were "totally safe!" and accidents like Tschernobyl and Fukushima would happen only once every 1000 years.
These are the same people who are now building new coal burning plants because they shut down their nuclear power industry. And the coal they are burning is low quality crap lignite.
How long do you think planning and getting approval from authorities for any kind of power plant takes? In Germany: decades. So, if you buy into the propaganda, that coal power plants are built because of the Fukisima-caused nuclear exit strategy, all I can say is: congratulations! You have been fooled the way the lobbyists wanted it.
Or can you explain why "gift" means poison in German?
Easy, but complicated (smile)
Both words stem from the same source, which either means "the given thing" or "the giving person". When languages drifted away from each other, the English version kept it's positive denotation while in German it was associated with giving something negative (not necessarly poison at first).
Interestingly, there's a related German word, still bearing its positive meaning today: "Mitgift" (= "dowry").
Actually without the Euro these countries would be far better by now, devaluation of a country coin is very used to lower income without reducing wages, also limits imports and makes exports grow.
True, but that ignores how it started. The Euro gave those countries interest rates on public bonds way lower than ever before. With that much cheap money at hand, they could have fixed their budgets. Instead they spent it on consumption (aka "election promises" to voters).

My guess is that they're talking about proxy servers here, which isn't too uncommon for ISPs.
I think the OP was referring to the fact that it was the "first known human artifact to enter outer space."

"Krebs" is German for both "crab" and "cancer", no pinch nor Latin needed.

There's one major problem with that site: God told me it's all wrong.
See what I did there?

I as a programmer agree with you. Because all your points are a clear sign that these are bad programmers. I would fear to work with those, too.
So, you're saying that idiots that couldn't code ASP can't code PHP. Color me suprised then.
ASP (or better ADO) has provided prepared statements for a long time. Not using them is not ASP's fault.
Create a stored procedure and swap

OK, how about this one then?
