Depends on where you live I guess. I had (presumably) a kid go through my truck and he took about $5 in change and a couple of cheap tools. The sheriff actually dusted my truck for finger prints and wrote up a report. Of course, they never caught the guy as far as I know, at least for this, but they took an interest and did investigate it. We work out of our house, so there is little opportunity for burglars to steal our stuff, but they're welcome to try. They can have their choice of 3.5" 00 buckshot,.357 magnum or SW.40. From their point of view I'd recommend the.40 - the.357 makes a very nasty exit wound and the buckshot just makes a one helluva big mess to clean up.
Don't have one, don't have one, don't have one, don't have one, don't have one, don't have one, don't have one, don't have one, don't have one, don't have one.
Sorry to hear that
What I do have is a couple UNIX boxes that are completely capable of fetching data over a network and displaying it on screen.
Good for you!
There's absolutely no reason I should have to buy another piece of hardware to do that.
Using Netflix streaming would qualify as a reason, I think. Maybe not a good one, but a reason nonetheless
FWIW, BitTorrent works on any platform.
Yep. and your point is?
Buck up little camper, the wah-mbulance will be here soon!
Yes but that depended on European customers initially being part of their income. The script kiddies of ANON need to be a contributing factor to Amazon's revenue stream before a boycott will even register an effect. Ceasing to do business where it was rarely done to begin with would look like business as usual to Amazon.
In other words, they need to get their parents to boycott Amazon.
first rule of getting off charges. never corporate with police.hell its the only rule. never talk to them without your attorney. 90% of all people in jail are because they talked.
Root cause is ignorance / lack or funds for attorney.
They have also a different work motivation. The work to improve them selves and to better society. This is a very altruistic approach and it is totally anti-capitalistic. And I personally do not see any development in that direction. Even more it looks like that there is no lesson learned from the last economic disaster as we did not add any real regulation on the finance market.
Humans are genetically programmed to be selfish - capitalism is the system most closely aligned with human nature. Case in point, look at the communist systems of the USSR and China. What's the first thing the people in power do? Make sure they are taken care of and have whatever they want. Human nature. Good luck "correcting" that issue.
yeah, and Obama / congress cancelled portions of it's overdue replacement, which I thing was the point. By all means cancel Orion, but make sure to pay the fuckers that precipitated the financial meltdown $800B.
Maybe the Obama administration and congress can funnel some of the remaining stimulus money to them instead of senting it to unions for "shovel ready jobs". Or, here's an idea.
SpaceX should sell a bunch of strangely concocted derivative investment vehicles and percipitate a financial crisis, then congress will give them hundreds of billions of dollars. Mission accomplished.
Not to get too political, but we were having a discussion about this very thing last night, and while I'm most definitely not for government bailouts of any kind, but can you imagine if only a small percentage of the bailout or stimulus went to companies like SpaceX (with performance requirements and conditions) instead of going to the people who caused the mess in the first place and have by all accounts not changed their business practices? Memo to government: The next time a relatively small group of people fuck up so badly by committing acts of fraud that they cost millions of people their life savings, you prosecute them and line them up against a wall and shoot them - you don't write them a check for $787 billion.
Mesa day startin pretty okee-day with a brisky morning munchy, then BOOM! Gettin very scared and grabbin that Jedi and POW! Mesa here! Mesa gettin' very very scared!

I'm typing this on that very keyboard, on a Mac no less. Best $80 I ever spent. I do wish it had USB ports on it though - there's plenty of space. I'd like to plug a mouse and a card reader into the keyboard. One of these days I'm going to buy another on and hack in some ports - you could probably get a mini ATX motherboard, SSD, etc inside the thing.
Right, because this article isn't about the FCC voting on this on the 21st of December. Except that it is. Regardless, I fail to understand why the FCC is attempting this. It seems to me that a similar FCC attempt was struck down by a federal appeals court in April. I think someone needs to explain to the FCC that they lack authority in this area.

Jeff Atwood can suck my balls.
But without the red arrow and the circle I'd never be able to spot the explosion! The music was a nice touch too.
Not with a big enough rail gun. As an added bonus the rail gun can be used to shoot down invading aliens.

Well, I still use the same random passwords I've been using since I graduated in 1986. Now get off my lawn.
Mod parent up. This article was, politely, fucking lame. I want the 2 minutes I spent reading the first page looking for good writing back.

Fair enough. DVDs also work on most systems as well...

I had it in my Netflix queue a few months ago and they moved it to the saved queue, "availability unknown" and added Tron Legacy.

At what point does it become sentient, call itself V-ger, and return to destroy earth?
Not soon enough

Maybe he is not such a douche after all?
Pretty sure he'd still be a douche bag of epic proportions even if he gives all his money away.
Since he and his buddy Steve have already raped Indiana Jones this isn't much of a stretch.
George Lucas has the worst case of malignant narcissism imaginable - his family needs to stage an intervention for him.

Maybe not shot, but you might end up with polonium 212 in your omelet.
No. In Soviet Russia those who offend us ingest toxic radioactive metals
