    No, not at all! Return them to a pharmacist for disposal.

    For (unsubstantiated) example, your local waste water treatment station is most likely using bacteria to do some of the work, imagine what a large dose of antibiotics will do to that process.

  7. Embedded Development on Is Assembly Programming Still Relevant, Today? · · Score: 1

    There is still a vast amount of Embedded development being done, and, for devices with extremely restricted resources, is best done with assembly code.

  15. Re:No its not... on ASCI White Detonates The First E-Bomb · · Score: 1

    My mistake, i didn't realise that were just testing the stability of the components. Obviously once they have determined if it goes boom or not, that's where the simulation ends. They not using it for furthers weapons development, that is what your saying?

  16. Re:No its not... on ASCI White Detonates The First E-Bomb · · Score: 1

    Yes i was angry and used a BAD WORD to express that anger. But quite frankly, where do you get off trying to take the moral high ground here, i swore, your advocating a policy that made real the possible destruction of our planet and the human race to further America's unsustainable economic growth. I'm not the one that needs to look in the mirror here!

  17. Re:No its not... on ASCI White Detonates The First E-Bomb · · Score: 1

    What the FUCK has simulating the explosion got to do with determining the stability of the components of the bomb! What a load of rubbish, what a transparent lie! I hope you don't actually belive that. The sole reason is the US of A developing and preparing nuclear arms.

  20. Cheating... on The Future of Gaming · · Score: 1

    IMHO eradicating cheating (and cheaters if i had my way...) should be the goal of all games developers. It sounds like an impossible goal, but I believe the key is to provide code that provides no hooks but those of defined (and hence monitored) interfaces. Games developers must be aware that as soon as a game is hacked and cheats released the legitimate game playing community is left with little choice other than to move to the next, as yet unhacked, game. It in everyones interest that the ability to create cheats for a game is removed, as it increases the longevity of a game and therefore the return on investment to the game developers.

  21. 8Mbps ADSL in New Zealand on A Study on Regional DSL and Cable Speeds? · · Score: 1

    See jetstream for details. It's offered by our monopoly telco, Telecom. They only say 2Mbps+ most of the way through the site, but if you poke around you can get a graph showing installed speeds They offer 2 plans, the Jetstart plan (which I personally use) has unlimited traffic, but is speed limited to 128kbps. However, I can connect to the "jetstreamgames" realm and get full noise ADSL, which for me is 8Mbps down, 800kbps up. Within the realm is mainly game servers but it does have a couple of ftp servers as well. I did have a ftp log (can't find at the mo')showing an average of 430KBps on a download of a 28M file. That is, it came down the line in about a minute.
    So, who immigrating ;-)
