The penalties for copyright infringement are getting absurd, considering in British Columbia a guy who had a huge child porn collection got 3 years in prison. This despite the fact he was HIV positive and raped a 14 year old boy because he likes to spread the disease.
When stepping on the toes of those who buy politicians becomes the worst crime in the land, it's time to burn the whole system down and start from scratch.
Oddly enough I have a story involving both Newegg and Memory Express.
I recently moved away from a city which was home to my favourite store (Memory Express) and needed to buy micro SD cards. I couldn't buy from ME's online store because they didn't handle my method of payment, so I bought a card from Newegg for a bit more money and a lesser known brand. (the same brand was way more money on Newegg). I tested the card, and it was a class 4 card with a class 10th label on it. Of course Newegg only refunds price not shipping, so I'm out a lot of money and still no decent SD card. I'm holding out until my next road trip.
Moral of the story: Don't trust Newegg. Even if they do return the money, they aren't worth it.
Pardon me, but as a home schooling parent and a long time Slashdot reader, I find it baffling as to why home schooling could be outlawed, or the reasons why.
You are posting on a technical site, say you are very interested in camera technology, but say you don't understand DSLR? I suggest a good DSLR tutorial rather than this feeble attempt at a slashvertisement.
It could still have habitable temperatures if it was a tidally locked planet. The chances of that occuring increase as a planet approach it's star. Any life on such planets would certainly be interesting.
The dictionary also has words like Nigger, Chink, and Kike. Based on your reasoning, you should also use those in polite conversation.
Or you could learn something instead of just quoting a dictionary without any critical thinking behind your quotes. "The Ukraine" is an insulting diminutive name of the country, used by Russian conquerors to imply the untruth that this region was much less than a country. It was used to say that it was a region, instead of a country of it's own. A dialect, instead of a distinct culture.
"The Ukraine" was a term invented by the same people responsible for the murder of 11 million Ukrainians, because they couldn't stand the truth. Ukraine is and was a nation of people, ethnically and linguistically distinct. It was a term that was used to sweep genocide under the rug. Ukrainians are understandably touchy about this term in the same way Jewish people are touchy when they encounter someone who says the Holocaust never happened.
Sounds quite simple. Build the sandbox to permit these type of applications to access only the files the user specifies. $inputfile and $outputfile are variables that the Sandbox can manage and provide access to the compression program.
As far as dumb users tricked into running whatever program.... That's like tricking someone into driving their vehicle into a ditch. If the person is not responsible, then either a lot of crashes will occur. I really miss the old days where it took a bit of intelligence even to start up a computer, let alone connect to the internet.
Considering that physicists suspect that lightning is triggered by vertical ionized trails in the atmosphere caused by cosmic rays, the experimenters may have to also use a portable cosmic ray generator to get their machine to work.
I'm assuming that the range is based on how far the airship can travel before the sun goes down, assuming it launches in the morning. For the hybrid versions, I imagine it's a combination of day travel and fuel capacity. For instance at 60km/h, the Caracal has a 500km range. That means about 8.3 hours of flight time, which is reasonable considering some days may be cloudy.
The short answer is no. At one atmosphere of pressure, any structure would either be too heavy or be easily crushed.
An interesting question to the geek community... maybe crunch some numbers... Is a vacuum sphere that only operates at extremely high altitudes and low pressures feasible?
Imagine if the poster had been Clint Eastwood holding a gun, and saying "Go ahead, make my day." Professor Miller would probably be up on felony charges.
Imagine if he posted a different poster, with less ambiguity. Imagine a picture of Clint Eastwood holding a gun, with the quote "GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY!"
Much less ambiguous, and much more threatening. The poster suggests that angering the owner of the poster will cause deadly violence. Yet.... the poster or something similar is posted in probably millions of American work places and schools. Just about everyone knows someone who's got that or something similar in their cubicle. Nobody feels threatened because it's a MOVIE POSTER.
So yes, the Campus Police have committed a fascist crime. Especially since the Campus Police supervisors didn't make those rent-a-cops to go back and apologize to Professor Miller and kindly return his poster to him. And you're about as far removed from reality as you seem to think Professor Miller is.
Because slamming one side automatically means he's vouching for the other side, right?
Because there are only two real options in your country, both just as bad?
Wake up and realize that what you think is "liberal" and "conservatives" are just two sides of the same superficially democratic machine, and it's only real purpose is to keep itself in power. You only have one party, thinly veiled as two. Any American who gets into a con vs lib argument is just a zombie doing exactly what the system wants them to do. It's very sad and pathetic watching this from the outside, seeing everything you people believe in as a lie. I guess being immersed in it since childhood makes it easier to believe. It's kind of like watching a documentary about cargo cults... it's hard to believe people living in such ignorance exist... but there they are.

5 years. Way to go USA justice system. You suck.
I think a better comparison would be the law treating any violent Hollywood movie as a snuff film and using obscenity laws to make it illegal.
I'm Canadian and I thought the government lost it's mind when it brought through that particular piece of legislation.

Considering Windows 7 Ultimate costs more than the PC you built, my guess is you installed Windows 7 Pirate Bay Edition.
You mean the Gor series?

It's "Ukraine", not "The Ukraine" Get it right.
Meeting a woman in a bar can easily have such consequences.
For some reason I accidentally read the title as "The Physics of Swine Whirling"
He has a 4 digit user id. He was probably one of the first here.

Since we're into analogies...
It's more like a dog tied to tree with a short leash, thinking he has freedom because he can bark at another dog tied to the next tree.

My guess is that the the answer to that question is either nothing, or a complicated answer worthy of a psychology thesis.

of course, it means faster than the speed of sound in a vacuum...
