I don't see the problem with deflation. It allows one to save their money and get good future value for their saved money. I think inflation is wrong. Inflation depletes your savings.
Deflation encourages hoarding and reduces the velocity of money - why invest money with risk when i can just hold onto it and increase it's value.
In a deflationary money system, the more people that horde the greater the value of the currency. It's like a catch-22, the more you save the more that people want to save. Instantly all of people's discretionary spending grinds to a halt and businesses can't get loans because they have to spend a currency that will return in smaller amounts (because everyone else's money will be worth more) and have to pay it back in larger amounts that they may never get. Additionally, if you buy X amount of stock and tomorrow the currency is worth X * 0.9 you have lost money before you started. If it takes you 6 months to get the stock from wholesaler to customer you may never be able to sell it for more than what you paid for it. May as well just keep the money in the bank at 0% interest.
Large amounts of inflation are bad because people can't spend money fast enough for it to be useful, but deflation is worse because it literally stops the economy dead in it's tracks. This is why central banks keep inflation at around 3%, it's not enough to affect day to day prices so business and consumers can plan their budgets but it is enough that people don't keep money under their mattresses. Even putting your cash in an interest bearing account is in everyone's interest because that interest is you being paid to lend your money to businesses or other people to keep the flow of capital going.
People who say deflation is bad should go find a local community college and take Economics 101, it will teach you the basics theories of how this stuff works.
Yes, but loser pays isn't a panacea for our problems, the fact is that if you don't win, that's not necessarily because you didn't have a case, if your attorneys weren't as good or you didn't have experts that were as good, you can still lose. Not to mention the times when you just have bad luck.
This is why most countries that have loser pays legal costs don't just automatically award them but it is automatically considered, otherwise a large entity could hire entire law firms and then lose on purpose to bankrupt their opponents.
For example in Australia when AFACT (local puppet for the MPAA) took our 3rd largest ISP to court for encouraging piracy by refusing to forward MPAA nastygrams to customers iinet were only awarded something like 75% of legal costs. IANAL but I'm pretty sure comes down to how legitimate your case was and how able to wear the costs you are.
You forget how deep the gravity well of mars is, It's not like the moon where you can pretty much just jump to put yourself into orbit around it. Mars is more like taking off from earth, and the weight of all that fuel would never make it out of *our* gravity well let alone landing it safely and taking off again at the other end. Until we have the ability to synthesize or mine more fuel at the other end of the trip and land a reusable launch module the trip to mars is one-way.
This is either a plan for one-way mission or it's a scam (or both?)
Because presumably windows verifys the kernel image as it's loading hyberfil.sys into memory, did you not even read the summary?
The leap that TFS needs you to make is that with an unverified hybernation image you can simply remove the disk, overwrite it with an unsigned and modified kernel image and then have the hybernation process load it into memory for you from the trusted boot chain.

Assault rifle:
An assault rifle is a selective fire (selectable among either fully automatic, burst-capable, or, sometimes, semi-automatic modes of operation) rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. It should be distinguished from the US legal term assault weapons.
Assault Weapon:
In discussions about gun laws and gun politics in the United States, an assault weapon is most commonly defined as a semi-automatic firearm possessing certain features similar to those of military firearms. Semi-automatic firearms fire one bullet (round) each time the trigger is pulled; the spent cartridge case is ejected and another cartridge is loaded into the chamber, without the manual operation of a bolt handle, a lever, or a sliding handgrip. An assault weapon has a detachable magazine, in conjunction with one, two, or more other features such as a pistol grip, a folding stock, a flash suppressor, or a bayonet lug
Sounds like the AR-15 fits the definition of an assault weapon pretty neatly, it is a semi auto with a pistol grip
Now whether "assault weapon" is a real term is a completely different conversation.
, and will increase greatly now that the muggers know that their victims won't be armed.
Why do people keep throwing this one out there? The US aren't even going near discussing removal of handguns. I would put money on basically all muggings being done with handguns or knives, not assault weapons.
Even if the US did ban handguns like australia did (although there are exemptions for sport shooting, security guards and police) the number of guns in circulation would dwindle and become more expensive, and probably out of financial reach of the kind of person who resorts to muggings to get by.
With any technology based on photolithography any increase in density decreases yield, since as you increase density you make the "lines" smaller which increases the number of errors per wafer or sheet of glass. Since they normally cut these screens out of a much larger sheet of glass they get a higher yield with smaller screens (a single pixel fault ruins a smaller percentage of the glass) or lower pixel densities (less faults). The reason that the current round of tech has gotten cheaper has more to do with the fact that we are now a few process nodes ahead of the curve since large 1080p lcds have been available for around 10 years and the fact that the control hardware has gotten cheaper.
Have you noticed that the pixel density on your phone is orders of magnitude higher than your TV?
I personally never really had problems with vista perhaps because of never installing it on legacy hardware, but 7 was a huge improvment in performance/stability.
Also where they print a menu with "Fish of the day" which may be a completely different menu item from day to day, necessitating the price being set differently on different days.
Saves them having to reprint a menu every single day.
If he's using a 5 year old laptop he is not doing serious work on it. It's probably a core2, probably 32 bit. Definately slow, hot and hungry for power by today's standards.
You can get some legs out of an older laptop by replacing the spinning disk with an SSD, but at that point you are spending 30% of the cost of a faster replacement for a slight extension in life when the rest of the laptop is starting to become pretty worthless.
If you rear end someone you are by definition following too close and the accident is your fault. That means that if you get rear ended the person you should be suing is the one that dented your ride. At least that is the law where I live (not in the US)

Pretty sure the last one was a bug that was something to do with the cert expiring on a leap-day though.
This is a much deeper problem that shows that there is not a whole lot of good process going on behind the scenes.

I think he's trying to say is $[US Price] * [exchange rate] * [What he pays in VAT] = Y
Where Y is a number more than 40% less than his wholesale price even when including VAT.
I'm betting that is code for "I tested it in a vacuum and the effect went away"

I will give them one thing, their content seems to be accessible to someone with a screen reader.

You know the "4K" designation comes from the horizontal width of 3840x2160 right?
2880x1800 = 5.1 million you moron.
As someone from a metric country it still spins me out to see that some countries use cl in daily usage. (we skip from ml to liters)

Compared to the dinosaur that is XPsp3 win8 is probably awesome.
Compared to vista/7 it is a fucking nightmare

During a gold rush the only person who actually gets rich is the man selling shovels.
And in australia.
Pretty sure they released a mountain dew xtreme or some shit recently that is basically the US version except with actual sugar instead of corn syrup.
