how do you explain my 10+ year old game CDs that are still in perfect shape then? CD's degrade in 5-10 years if you give them to someone who isn't a geek, doesn't have a helpful OCD, and someone who simply doesn't care. even my burned discs which I didn't care about are still in readable condition and are more than 5 years old. keeping CD's and DVD's in a time capsule, and thus in a dark, dry place, will allow them to work for several decades. TDK even says metal stabilized Cyanine discs will last up to 70 years at standard storage conditions Click Here. Meaning 50 years is easily achievable with just an educated assumption of safe storage settings.
actually the current estimate is around 200, with some believing that fps is simply an incompatible way to measure how fast the eye can see as we may not see 'frames'
I find the site of breast-feeding much more bothersome then just seeing a person naked..
Maybe that's because I've never seen a woman who wasn't ugly, and or old, breastfeeding in public, and have only seen young, attractive women, naked. 0.o
I just made it to the end of level 2 on their game. first off, they should at least make the game interesting enough to finish, and secondly, near the end of the butterbal investigation video promoted by the game, you see some guy sit on a turkey for a couple seconds, then it's just fly out and shit. Or at least it seems to be the guts, I'm not positive.
Show PETA a game by some of the giantess fetishists. I'd like to see their reaction to the violent killing of humans.
oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was being judged on bad spelling.
Us here in dem Boondocks aint given no fancy smancy edumacation. Its amazin dat any of us be able to understand what'cha all mean.
I do not believe my ability to spell is related in any way to the conversation at hand. If you want to be a douche(which you've mastered pretty well troll boy,) I recommend keeping the comments at least related to the topic.
I have to agree that it's a bad example, but for a different reason.
Booting up a computer, in most cases is the following.
-Push power button
-Push monitor power button
-sit (time spent on actual activity: 6 seconds.)
-wait
-login (total time for this activity is usually under 15 seconds)
-wait
and you're done. On the other hand, opening procedures for any food service building is much much much much more grooling. I would easily rather work a full day fixing a PC.. FOR FREE than open a fast food building again. If you're not fast enough, it makes the rest of the day even worst.
That being said.. yes, if it takes 15-30 minutes to boot up then they need to either have a boot by LAN option that starts it up before they walk in, or pay the guy.
Having breakfast foods such as a little cafeteria that just has pints of milk, little cereal boxes, bowls and spoons might help if you're not paying the person for boot time (as you could argue you're offering food which a restaurant would charge $5 for as compensation for the half hour of doing NOTHING.)
no, the real question is this. How long until we have to find cracks to disable software 'features' that hijack your picture viewing program so that pictures taken by certain cameras look horrid?
...To all interns or even experienced tech workers looking to relocate:
Stay the hell out of California. We have plenty of talent and we don't need ass-backward inbred Midwestern or Southern mindsets contributing nothing to the talent pool while driving up our property costs. We don't need cheap, stinky H1-B labor or its competition -- you -- polluting our proud, grand, progressive state.
To all of you out-of-state students studying in California: "Welcome. Now get the fuck out."
with that being said.. people from California..
STAY OUT OF IDAHO! We don't need you idiots that don't know the value of a dollar moving in and paying 6 times the market value for our houses, causing our property values to skyrocket and sending people who were making more then enough money to live in a large house into poverty, suddenly unable to pay rent in a studio apartment. (moral: with flamebait.. comes flamebait)
I find the people most offended by a joke are typically at the butt of it 0.o
Seeing as this is slashdot, and people are insulting their own stereotype at the same time, those that do not fit the insult usually take no offense, whereas those that do fit the conditions do take offense.
I saw an ad like this ONLINE only ONCE for Twin Falls, Idaho.. and instantly came to the conclusion that domains were listed for tons and tons of cities... And you get paid to not figure it out till the second sign?!:x
Can't a quantum computer (givin the proper network of a fully functional CPU) break any encryption instantly by only actually arriving at the destination assigned?
I'm not sure on the exact complexities.. but yea, isn't it that quantum computers are the next thing because they only give the superimposed electrons always take the path that's watched?
Senator Conroy has since last year's election victory remained tight-lipped on the specifics of his $44.2 million policy
Lets rephrase that..
1.) Acquire $44.2 million in government funding
2.) spend $200,000 making people implement a system that will do nothing more then slow down the internet to make it look like it's an actual attempt to do something
3.) profit from remaining $44 million

and dismantling the entire laptop to reset the BIOS is actually FASTER than an OS reinstall..
I agree. which makes me restate to this. What's PETAs stand on human cruelty? humans are still classified as animals after all, aren't they?

yes it was. Now tell me why the police know what model camera you own to begin with without a search warrant and we're all set.

How long before we're all just barcoded with a unique id??
a barcode would be far easier to break.. just slap someone's barcode on some pig skin, lay it on your arm, and get something to scan you..

It should be relatively close enough to legible English for someone to understand it though xD

Or.. maybe I just speak to people with horrible writing enough that I can understand really really bad English :\
