As I see it, we need that energy to increase the standards of living for all the population. That should drive the population growth down, and even perhaps reduce Earth's population to a sustainable number. If we canÂt do that, we're screwed no matter what we do. Giving food, education and shelter to the masses really pays, in the long run.
Don't forget the 'unfinished dungeon?" under Ironforge. Like the trick for the Kz caves, you have to duel a mage and have him cast 'sheep' on you while in a specific point. There are lots of videos of this in youtube.
It's NOT worthless to sexual predators, who could perform queries looking for 'vulnerable children' in a given area. As nobody in their right mind would believe that none of these 390,000 public servants is a paedo, this database poses a big threat to the security of children.
This problem is so blazingly obvious that it seems either that the British government doesn't really give a damn for children' security, or even worse, that the government's aim is to help pedophiles.:(
- Check the mainboard's grounding, and make sure that the metallic screws and the plastic ones are in their right places.
- If you haven't done so already, try with a different, more powerful psu. Either your current psu could be defective, or be underpowered
- Try disconnecting all those fans -again if you haven't done so already. My guess is that they could inject lots of noise in the psu at startup time. Could be related at the same time with an underpowered psu
- Are you using an UPS? Try to remove it. Check the voltage that reaches you box, with a voltimeter, to see if it's high enough.
I don't feel like reading TFA right now, but from the little I've read it seems that they are using the quantum probability model just to 'model' the decision making process. As in "you canÂt know exactly what a subject will choose, but you can assign a probability to every possible outcome". No wonder they can use the tools developed for quantum mechanics.
They aren't implying that the decisions are caused directly by quantum effects, like Penrose proposed a long time ago.
Is it? I remember Arthur C Clarke saying that Sci Fi is something that could happen, while fantasy is something that could never happen.
All right, I'll byte.
He also said that: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic":).
As an example, I've always wondered whether "The Wheel of Time" series took place in a 'simulation', or any other kind of 'artificial universe'. Different physics, different forces...
...they said they would only use his name if:
1) he could demonstrate he was fluent in Hungarian, and
2) he was dead.
After what I'm reading here about this guy, I think that we all slashdotters should help him getting his name on the bridge. Of course we should follow strictly the rules given by the hungarians.:)
"...do these stupid things because they're running scared of being sued to hell..."
Yep. As opposite to the actual situation, where nobody is suing them.;)
I'd rather choose the 'power trip' explanation. Give someone too much power without accountability, and you're in for endless fishy incidents like this one and worse. "She denies having the pills" ->"She must be lying"->"We must prove she's lying at any cost"->"This will teach her!"
The worst part in all this mess is that if the courts finally declare this kind of behavior to be legal at schools, true perverts will use this ruling to abuse the children under they care, backed and supported by the legal system."I strip searched her because she acted suspiciously!She looked at me sideways!". Good work:(
The lack of QuestHelper will probably decrease game experience a lot for many subscribers. Other examples that come to my mind are the Auctioneer Suite and several class specific addons. These addons need also to be maintained and updated at least every time Blizzard releases a major patch, and sometimes need to be remade almost from scratch.
IMHO, categorizing a single short message at the addon's startup -QH does it this way- as 'spamming people in-game' is pure BS.
What's more, if someone received true in-game spam from one of these addons, disabling and uninstalling the addon is trivial, so it's in the addon programmer's best interest to keep any 'spamming' as low profile as possible, to prevent alienating their customers.
I've read somewhere that tigers and lions 'separated' ~4 million years ago, and still they can interbreed and have fertile offsping. Neanderthals and H.Sapiens Sapiens diverged only some five hundred thousand years ago. My bet is that there had to be at least some interbreeding.
So, I'd say that the sleeping-with-his-daughters thing isn't quite his fault.
Well, as I see it, the first daughter might not have been lot's fault, but the second raises a lot of suspicion. My guess is that if Lot had five daughters instead of two, he would have screwed all of them. And the goats.:)
Excuse me, I might not be too familiar with the intricacies of the English language, but WHY was the parent modded 'flamebait'? Is 'Flamebait' a synonym of 'Truth'?. There are lots of hard facts in the parent post -aside of the part about Moses' daughters- that can be checked just by reading 'The Book'.
Oh, well, I guess that the 'SRNS'* had something to do with it.
"it will leave you in agony for days, weeks, or months knowing you will die"
And for a good part of those days, you'll be a perfect suicide soldier, looking for revenge on the people who 'infected' you. It doesn't sound like such a good idea.
When you connect-disconnect an active device from it's power source, sometimes sparks appear, due to a very short span of air acting like a capacitor. These sparks can fry your device's electronics.
I.e., plugging an ide hdd while the computer is on has to be suicidal. I know two different guys who did that. One ended with a broken mainboard, the other with a broken hard disk.

There's a great cartoon online illustrating this, but I can never find it.
Could that be Dresden Codak?
According to the video in the article, they have. It's in one of the simulations at the beginning
Shit! You just ruined my plans! To the laser-armed sharks with you!

TFA seems like the part about "LADIES AND CHILDREN NOT ADMITTED" in the handbills.
Mr. Clemens must be turning in his grave, in an spatially limited kind of ROFL :)
Please someone mod parent post funny. Sorry for asking, but I couldn't mod myself out of a paper bag :)

Science Fiction is just a subset of Fantasy.

A perfect post, sir!

You're getting older :)
Your story seems a cross between 'Weeds' and 'The flintstones' :-)

This is asking for an "ERROR: ISO at work"
