Well the US of A is doing what anyone who understands the dimension of the disaster would do, we are all human beings, right?
Here in Colombia we send the best of the rescue teams we have, not bragging but those are one of the better rescue teams in the world, since we have a lot of earthqukes and other natural disasters, they are well trained IRL. Everyone is there and if something bad happens here we would be in problems but nobody is waiting for someone to say "hey look, Colombians sent all their rescue teams and they may need them soon, such a good fellas"
I saw in the news a very old lady sending 50 dollars to the red cross, she didn't look like she had lots of money, maybe a very lame pension, 50 USD it's like 28% of the minimum wage here, so, it's not about doing it for PR but because we are humans and would like to help more but people do the best they can, the US of A ARMY can do A LOT OF THINGS for Haiti and they're doing it, God bless them all but I'm sure they are not doing it for the PR.
Now, look what your nutjob Pat Robertson can say about the disaster, look on some forums and you'll see religious fanatics in whole frenzy advocating the "divine wrath"(tm) Don't worry about the PR of USA we all remember how FEMA let the food we sent to help the people in Katrina to rot in the boxes:/ but we know that was FEMA not you fellow American citizen.
I'm sorry I was a dick on that comment but you are wrong too, you may have OGG after all it's good to have options but if H264 it's going to be used as standard I know someone would make the license almost free, or at least Google can help Mozilla to deal with the license fees, in the end it's cheaper to Google (youtube) to sponsor H264 license fees for the mere sakes of helping reduce their bandwidth.
Anyway I was complaining, as was the GP, about MPEG-4 H254 AAC BEING A STANDARD ALREADY WITH HARDWARE SUPPORT on most recent GPUs so theres no point in continuing the flamewars about OGG vs. H264, I know we can hack something onto our Firefox so we can choose OGG, but for the sakes of the ALMIGHTY MARKET it's death jim, and maybe we can just concentrate on finding alternatives or bitching to the MPEG consortium so the license for the open source browsers can be gratis.
We all should be happy that in the future we can move on from Flash video, OSS got that by the hand of HTML5 but the codec it's proprietary, whatever, __you just can get it all__, it pisses me off when people act like 12 years old spoiled girls.
Note that I didn't answer to you idiot and nitwit insults, in part because I deserve them, after all we may speak the same lengua. carry on.
Well I don't know the specifications of the eCig, you would not believe me but here, very close to the Ecuador we have stores dedicated to the eCig and juices and accessories, I'd like to buy one because I want to stop smoking "analog cigs" but would like to keep on the Nicotine train, you know, I'm one of those guys that would make funny things without my Nico.
http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/08/07/1155225 (I'm not schizophrenic, just a bit schizotypal, no, I don't hear voices, and I don't care if they are out to get me)
AFAIK vaporization temperatures for Marijuana are like ~ 300 Celsius (you might want to double check that, theres plenty of sites devoted to that) and other drugs are plain chemical compound so I guess temperatures would be higher. I don't think an ordinary eCig is designed for such uses, after all, there a whole market for "vapes"
I don't know how a very good alternative for a killing habit it's a bad product. Batteries? Well digital cameras / laptops should be on the list then.
You have bought something on walmart? perhaps any computer parts? oh well, YOU sponsored them, but we all can share the blame it's not like the only market for Chinese stuff is the US of A. Let's not talk about bankers.
So true, sadly, FOSS zealots will continue with the circle jerk moaning and screaming because their pet codec it's not on par with something THAT IS USED IN THE *REAL WORLD* by people and big business DOING *MONEY* WITH IT. Admit it, OGG failed, get over it and move on.
Do you really want aunt Betsy to return to IE6 after trying and failing to use Firefox on youtube? After all.. IF ITS WORKING WHY FIX IT? right?
Why are they using Windows anyway? Really I'm Not so much a Linux (or anything else) fanboy but should not be this the scenario when you hire some badass assembly coder and create a byte-for-byte specific application for your needs? Running on top of Linux? Is not like an astronaut can learn to fly several tones of high tech metal in and out of the planet but not Linux, really? Whatever happened to the cutting edge and the state of the art we were used.
Suddenly I don't feel so bad for not realizing my dream of becoming an astronaut.. I can imagine the first class: "Well class, this is a PC, it runs windows, windows it's like a desktop, you know, a dektop humm like in the office, you have a recycle bin and folders, and inside the folder there are documents..."
No wonder why even the MASA can take a whale up to the moon for mere $200, I bet they use freeBSD all the way down:p
Pentium M? My PIII laptop have speedstep, at whoping 800MHz normal and 650MHz in power saving mode, the fan only starts if I try to play a flash video or playing golly. The real power saving innovation would be whe we can fucking BUY those ARM powered netbooks and tablets.. too sad that while we talk here Intel an MS are doing everything and anything to stop the manufacturers of these devices.
Should we have hope in the American market and regulators to stop wintel cartel from messing with the ARM revolution? Anyway, I'm just going directly to manufacturers and I'm going to try importing some tablets here, not in mood for another Intel OEM bribery fiasco, if the developed world faints for wintel and monopolies good for them, You should not drag the rest of the world with you.
reply to delete wrong moderation,:/ anyway it looks like this is a dupe, it's been out for less than a month, just after holidays (people out of money)so I bet there is not such a huge user base to complain. Looks like some shills set up us the bomb in the firehose..

Ubuntu 7.04 to 8.10 killed the sound every time I closed the lid, suspend or hibernate was random.
Windows 2000 (this tank was designed for that OS)suspends in ~8 secs and wake up in the ~30 secs sometimes less, the only problem is Wifi sometimes but It have gone for 2 months with no reboot just fine. XP was not a good experience.
Someone upthere mentioned the much hate Wintel has over the netbooks, this is pure PR. the "twitter socket" or the "facebook reader" gadgets will not change anything.
I think theres no obvious place in the market for a revolutionary gadget, maybe the Apple tablet? But the estimated price would not make it an appliance like the eeePC 900 was. It's personal preferences and needs after all, I'd like to buy a cool netbook but I better save and get a Lenovo x61 and have the possibility to do actual work, BUT my old smarthphone SE p900 is dying so maybe the next gadget would be an iPhone/n900/BB. Maybe the facebook reader will sell fine, but it's not a game changer like the ipod or eeePC was.
But would it be visible from earth? According to the video the asteroid will pass just above the Caribbean so it can be kind of nice to take a look then.
Thats because Adobe it's a total bitch with its registry settings. Chances that you have something adobe related in the start up list?
Set you browser to download the PDF, not to open inside, then you can open it with another reader while you keep Adobe's buried and isolated until you really need it.
Adobe should stop creating new Creative Suites or rebranding FLASH AD NAUSEAM and fix all that crap. I don't mind if I can GPU-ohshiny zoom in PS if theres a whore all laid down asking for some scriptz 24/7.. And Adobe don't seem to care a bit, I guess it's time for boycott.
because I can't grow tomatoes in my underground hydroponic chambers without the explicit consent of some MBA in Ohio?
I don't get why your priority should be any other than FOOD and a somewhat a healthy shelter.. or moving!, you know, somewhere that is not absolutely and utterly fucked up. Nevermind anyway, if humans FAIL to recover from that, I guess Darwin ideas will outlive his species:) I will personally write in stone those ideas with my last strengths so the new moleman overlords get the facts straight.
I'd say that with half USA nuked out of orbit the world will hopefully try to COOPERATE to speed up reconstruction, meanwhile every country will be so trying to survive to even care about politics or supremacy, obviously there will be wakos and crazy dictators that will lead dumb survivors to fail, But hey! Darwinism will be the everydaymeal then.
The thing you most fear in case that such tragedy actually happens, is that your country may become "not important"? Because I actually think USA would cease to exist in such event, you may not produce food for decades, Canada and Mexico will be very affected and may not help much. South America will be the same ("ohnoes hard times!" heck we have been living hard shit for ages), Europe will suffer but no critical hit, Asia have shitloads of people, the production facilities and actually brains; Africa? Maybe real state there will take a boom. I really don't know what happens in such situation, my point is: "worrying - you're doing it wrong"
