at least by their metrics. The anti-piracy system worked for enough time to cover the period in which the bulk of the sales are made which is what they really care about.
Of course on the downside for them, I *loved* Ruse in beta, but I certainly won't be buying it due to this DRM (even though it's mostly multiplayer over the internet anyway). If it didn't have it I would have pre-ordered it already (I hardly ever pre-order but I really liked the gameplay in the beta). But it's just a game, I can live without it.
They're banking that people like me me are a smaller group than the people who will buy it because they can't pirate it.
Yes, considering power outputs the short period of time I carry it when it is on doesn't really add to the total. Most of the time it is switched off, I turn it on a take it with me when I really need to, which isn't that often since I'm a nerd who doesn't leave the computer room let alone the house very often...
The linksys access point in that computer room bathes me with far more radiation than my cell phone, I promise.
I use my cell phone for about 2 hours a month. My wife uses her cell phone for about that much a day.
I'm pretty sure they can find enough people with different usage levels such that unless there's a very low threshold for risk increase and there's no increase in risk with more use they'll be able to see an affect (if there is one at all).
I also need to worry about getting married, which requires a lot of money. Therefore, I still push myself to continue working in spite of my exhaustion.
How can that mean anything other than she is saving money in order to have the money that getting married apparently requires?
Of course a higher resolution helps you see them better, you don't use it to display more on the screen you use it to use more pixels to display the same amount on the screen.
If you used the same number of pixels for letters and so on, then yes a higher resolution would suck. But that would be an idiotic thing to do anyway so it doesn't matter.
You think it's possible to be so dumb to not see that that isn't how you determine if something is at least 2/3 of something else. While simultaneously knowing there are some sixes in the decimal representation of 2/3?
Expecting working no overtime on a factory line could support three adults is pushing it, not just in China.
And the very next sentence after the bit you quoted indicates she's saving money and hence is earning more than she needs to support 3 adults.
So if I can claim I am "forced to work overtime" by my evil corporate overlords, because that's the only way I can support my family consisting of me the wife, four kids, four grandparents, and 23 cousins?
There's an ever so slight difference between running the LHC and duplicating previously done collisions/measurements and building a time machine in order to setup a different set of weather stations around the globe so you can also gather a few decades of temperature data as well.
And there's a still a huge possibility of group B proving group A's work wrong. After all the data collection is only one part of the process all the rest is still there to be shown wrong. And of course group B can still do their own data work.
How can having more access to data be bad for science?
They have the luxury of going back to subsistence farming, if they really want. I'm sure there are some jobs in the mines too.
There are shitty jobs everywhere. If they pull in as much as an accountant does (and it'd be more given things like overtime rates), and throw in subsidized food and housing.
And of course they have the luxury of just working 50 hours - it's in the part of the article I quoted ("I know I can choose not to work overtime, but if I don't work overtime then I am stuck with only 770 Chinese yuan (£72.77p) per month in basic wages,' the worker said"). So they aren't "forced" to work more than 50 hours, but if you want to earn more than a chambermaid then you need to.
But all I was talking about was the pay rate, since that was the part of the article I found to be stupid. I didn't say their conditions are good, or even acceptable. Just that the claims of pay in the article aren't internally consistent. Their pay is normal if not good given the cost of living in China.
The Chinese cost of living will stop rising rapidly once they ditch the US economy they've been piggy backing for 20 years.
Which would be why they sent that to their -dev mailing list.
You do know the difference between someone sending a request, and someone else reporting on that request, and someone else reporting on someone else reporting on that request?
Yeah, because the old motherboards will magically do the right thing with the pins you weren't using when they were built. And with the pins that now serve a completely different purpose.
For as little as 34p an hour, the men and women work six or seven days a week, making computer mice and web cams for the American multinational computer company.
It was the militaristic management and sleep deprivation that affected the worker most. 'I know I can choose not to work overtime, but if I don't work overtime then I am stuck with only 770 Chinese yuan (£72.77p) per month in basic wages,' the worker said.
If the basic wage is £72.77 a month and they earn £0.34 an hour that gives a working week of just under 50 hours which doesn't seem like slavery to me. It also puts them at a comparable income to a chambermaid or baker, which makes sense since it's working the line at a factory.
If they are working 15 hours a day, 6 days a week at £0.34 that's £132.60 per month. That puts them at a comparable income to an accountant, which is insane amounts of money for working the line at a factory.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they are right.
It's not scary because it doesn't say that. Which of these items are you classifying as "*public* and easily available":
* SSN
* State ID number
* Bank account number
* Credit card number
All the law is saying if you have that type of data and the person's name - then you better damn well encrypt it.

If you yell things in public places you can't expect people to not hear them, remember them, write them down if interesting.
If your access point broadcasts its ssid and mac address you can't expect devices to not see them, remember them, record them.

No way!
Sure, if you ignore the various Orthodox Churches which existed in that period.
Let alone two people at the same time.
Clearly this had been made up.
If the rapist feels his privacy has been violated I'm sure they'll happily take down the site if he just tells one of the police officers that fact.
More seriously, which part of that site do you possibly think is an invasion of anyone's privacy?
Do you also think that newspapers should not report on criminal cases at all?

Right???
XP SP3, it's not exactly uncommon...
So don't buy their stuff.
This is not exactly a new thing from Apple. Lots of people like it that way, as evidenced by the sales Apple manages to make.

Take two paragraphs from it:
For as little as 34p an hour, the men and women work six or seven days a week, making computer mice and web cams for the American multinational computer company.

Yes it's being an asshole, but that still doesn't make it revealing a source.
They didn't expose their source.
They exposed the story.

Suppressive fire?
Using a weapon that has an area of effect so accuracy doesn't matter so much?
Because the god damn Constitution says you can.
