Yeah I never understood why people liked her either. Other than screaming at things she had the emotional range of a cardboard cutout and I never saw any chemistry between her and The Doctor.
According to the news article linked to by this article, the child was 14. God help this little snowflake when they're reading Lord of the Flies in a year or two.
Chinese complaining about someone pirating their stuff.
Here's a tip to Mr. Han. "You live in a country where stealing is endemic. I suggest you move to a country where the law and the government actually care."
It's an exercise in gathering completely useless data.
How many people on Slashdot still have emails they sent in 1990? 1991? 1992? How many of those emails that you still have are actually relevant today? Worse still, how relevant to today is it to know how many emails you sent in 1990, 1991 or 1992?
Even more useless....number of keystrokes per day for the last 10 years.
This guy is going to die someday and his wife and kids are going to toss all this crap right into the dustbin.
Someone shows up with a bottle of what they claim is water. Have them take a nice big gulp of it. If they don't retch or die you can bet it really was just water.
I am well aware of the difference between Mb and MB. Rogers advertises my tier as "up to 50 Mbps download speed". As I wrote earlier, I never get near that.
In Tokyo you can get fiber pulled right into your house.
I pay Rogers $100 CAD a month for their highest tier with a 250 gig data cap per month and "up to" 50 Mbps download speed (which I never get anywhere near...I'm lucky if I approach 8 Mbps).
Tweeting to your friends that you are going to party hard in LA (destroy being British slang) is nowhere near the same thing as yelling fire in a crowded theatre or today's equivalent of saying "bomb" while on an airplane or in an airport.
It seems the terrorist truly have one. America lost its sense of humour somewhere in the past 10 years.
Physical textbooks lack portability, durability, accessibility, consistent quality, interactivity and searchability, and they're not environmentally friendly.
Really? Books lack durability? Drop your shiny new gadget from 100 feet and I'll drop my book. So which one is lacking durability? Not a fair test? Ok, drop your gadget from desk height onto a classroom floor 3 times and I'll drop my textbook.
Accessibility? As long as you can read the language printed in the book, you can read the book. I have books that are 100 years old. I can still read them. How many different file types out there from 10 or 20 years ago can no longer be read because the software to do so just doesn't exist any more? Hand someone a book. They immediately know how to use it. Hand someone the latest shiny new gadget for reading books.......then hand them the manual on how to use it.
Searchability? Flip to the back of your physical textbook. There's a thing there called an index.
Consistent quality? So digital textbooks will never contain any errors or omissions? Bullshit. Digital textbooks will suffer the same quality problems as physical textbooks.
Not environmentally friendly? I see. So the metal, plastic and silicon gadget that you buy a new one of every couple of years that is used to view the digital textbook is more environmentally friendly than all the textbooks I used in my 4 years of college?
Why is the US pointed at as the reason for their culture loss?
This goes back to the days before the internet (yes there was actually a time before the internet). Canada could not compete at all with Hollywood. Movies and television shows from the States were what we wanted to watch. But our government regulatory bodies (CRTC, etc) decided that there needed to be a certain amount of Canadian content produced and forced upon us. They used the argument of "losing our culture to the US" to persuade us that the flashy, action-packed Hollywood tv shows and movies were bad for us and we should enjoy our thoroughly boring, low production quality Canadian content.
I think almost everyone commenting in here missed that very important fact.
So, here it is repeated directly from the article: The offending signal was coming from a router connected in the Richard Rodda Community Center in the the township, located 10 miles outside New York City.
If your kid's school is teaching them using Windows and the tools they provide work better in Windows then install Windows on a computer for your kids so they can get their shit done. When they are older and want to chose which OS is better for them, let them.
How can they order the destruction of anything? They are simply a broker or "go between" between two parties. PayPal does not own the item in question. Any disputes are between the buyer and the seller.
Did you write it to get compensated? Or did you write it to help your team?
If you wrote it hoping to get paid and they say they won't pay you then put it on the shelf and forget about it.
If you wrote it to help your team...streamline a lot of processes and take a lot of the burden off my team, freeing them up to handle what I deem to be more challenging items on their respective punch lists and a better utilization of their time and respective skills then hand it over knowing that you've done something to make your workplace a little better. Next time you have a performance review with your boss make sure it is discussed that you did this on your own time and that the staff are benefiting from it. It will only help your career to show your employers that you are willing to go a little further than expected.
But, if you are one of those people that just work 9 - 5 and walk out the door at the end of the day not thinking about or not caring about your job (and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, different people have different priorities) then shelve it and forget about it.
Then there basically is no extra security if a key bypasses it. As others have posted, that would then make the system susceptible to the techniques of thievery that are used today. So this is just a giant waste of time and money for car companies, computer manufacturers and consumers.

Why stop on just chinese?
'Cause the article was about Chinese writers. It wasn't about a problem in Harlem or a corrupt US regime.
Nope. Not when it comes to ripping off the Chinese who happily rip everyone else off.
Sorry, it won't matter what your reply is I have zero sympathy for these people.
And you don't see anything ironic about a Chinese person complaining about piracy? Seriously?

Red Forman's son on That '70s Show.
He can't release it or George will sue him into oblivion. We'll never get to see it. So why even tell us it exists?
Drink it.

are considered culture?
Because that is all that the CRTC has done. They've allowed Bell and Rogers to hold the Canadian customer hostage.
