It takes place starting at about 45 minutes after the end of my lunch break. My blood sugar is high and I'm at my desk with a cup of hot coffee, a cup of ice cold Mountain Dew and a small package of cookies. This can last anywhere from one to three hours. The period ends when I need to take my afternoon poop break. I write larger volumes of code and higher quality code when I'm in my zone.
If you are even thinking about logging into your email, check the cert. A MiTM attack can't work unless the attacker has a valid cert, if they do, then what does it matter where you connect from?
He was arrested for not kissing a rent-a-cop's ass. I wouldn't have shown my ID either. I would have had a good laugh when that rent-a-cop threatened to tackle me, as I am usually armed.
What I also learned was that I am not invincible, I play by the same rules as everyone else, and I want to be nowhere near real bullets fired in anger.
What I learned from paintball is that if I'm ever in a situation where I have to shoot a real gun at real people who have guns of their own, I'll fair better if I plan to ambush them.
My first linux machine was a 486. I used it to handle my internet connection. Whenever I tried to do something online, it would autodial my ISP. When I was done, I'd run the script to shut it down.
There's a reason why there aren't server farms popping up all over south asia. All of the stuff that you want is expensive. What's more expensive is the infrastructure to support it. You want stable, reliable and clean power. You want climate control.
If you must put together hardware that will survive without those kids of things, you will have to make compromises. You're not going to get the kind of processing power that you want, but an EPIA or someother low power mini-itx setup is where you should be thinking about starting. Throw that quad processor bullshit right out of the discussion.
Google needs them just as much as they need Google.
As a whole, yes, but not individually. If Google were to make an example out of some of the smaller loudmouths out there, everyone else would get the message really quickly.
Oh? You want to sue us Billings Gazette? How about we just stop indexing you and increase the score of the Lewiston Post Dispatch? All of those Montanan eyeballs can go to your competitor instead.
They'd pipe the fuck down and be happy for the traffic and ad revenue.
I'll never vote for Obama. I'm unlikely to vote Libertarian. I might vote for the Republican nominee. I might vote for Constitution party candidate, if he's not too crazy.
MS can argue all it wants about Apple making "aesthetic" machines, they actually use good components. Current XServe hardware being another case in point.
I'm a former Mac user. I also worked for years as a repair tech. Until about 5-6 years ago, I STILL had an original Mac Plus. A machine from 1986 worked just fine up until I gave it away in like 2004. I also remember those summer 2000 iMacs, those things were blowing analog/power boards like popcorn. Apple was pretty good about fixing them, but every once in a while Apple makes a piece of crap too.
I still have a couple of 6100s that still work just fine. These are what, 16 or so years old? Those old machines were alot simpler. They produced less heat so the fans didn't need to spin as fast. Slower fans are longer lived fans.
I went to college when I was 18. I got kicked out after a year. I didn't take it seriously enough at the time. I spent several years working shit jobs. I delivered KFC. I delivered Pizza. I sold popcorn at a movie theater. I sold computers. I fixed computers at a really shitty store. I decided to go back to school. I pounded out two A.S. degrees in two years. I finished up the B.S. degree in two more years. I got an internship. I started making decent money at a job that I actually liked.
I would have been better off to finish college 10 years earlier, but things happen the way they do.
EA can add the serial numbers that are published online to a bad list. None of the serial numbers on the bad list can receive updates. MS did something similar with Windows XP Corporate.
I am all for ISPs standing up for the rights of their users, but I call bullshit on this one.
Bittorrent CAN be used for copyright infringement, just like a photocopier. Just because it CAN be used for illicit purposes doesn't mean that it always is. I have downloaded several Linux distributions using Bittorrent.
It's one thing to say "No, we're not giving you any information about our subscribers without proof." It's quite another to pretend that it's not possible to do something that we all know is.

You fucked up by buying a console system in the first place.

What other job can you have where you can still get paid for some crap you did ten years ago?
POTUS. Bill Clinton is still getting tens of thousands of dollars in "speaking fees" and he left the White House nearly a decade ago.

Isn't this a moot point with mobile phones?
You are aware of your mobile phone. You have the option of leaving it behind or removing the battery.

What I don't understand is what Apple would do with Twitter.
iLife. Twitter would become like eWorld for the iPhone. If you thought that twitter wasn't bad enough, just wait.

Fucking Nazis!
There's no way someone can use 44GB in a week on legal content.
You are either, 1. Mistaken, 2. Misinformed, 3. Lying or 4. Trolling.
Hulu, Youtube, iTunes, Netflix, MusicMatch and a plethora of other services are high bandwidth and completely legal.

Can we make 2012 a third party year? Please?
That all depends on who the candidates are.
I'll never vote for Obama. I'm unlikely to vote Libertarian. I might vote for the Republican nominee. I might vote for Constitution party candidate, if he's not too crazy.
What do you want?
Well, tough shit. Meet the new boss. Worse than the old boss.CHANGE!
When do you want it?
NOW!

I thought iTunes was supposed to make it more convienent to buy music than to rip it off.

Quayle was watching children write on a chalk board. What flashcard was he looking at?
Besides, just because Obama can be stupid doesn't mean we should forget about when others were stupid.

But, Vice-President Quayle, what about Potatoes?

I had something more like this in mind.

Do the World Bank/IMF policies prevent people from taking plows, rocks or sharpened sticks, plowing the ground amd putting seeds in the furrows?
World economics can prevent you from farming for a profit, but no matter what happens internationally you can grow food for your own use.
