My friend was recently run over (Age 20), crossing a highway drunk.
I thought it sucked when we found out and turned into the news to see his dead body, bloody on the highway. At the same time a select few saw the aftermath up close ("Cleaned up")These are things people see and have to clean up.
These images remind us all of our fragile mortality. I ride my motorcycle much more conservative since my friends passing.
If people saw reality more often, I think reality would become less grim as people realize how eggshell life really is.

"How does your record compares to the previous one ? The previous Pi computation record of about 2577 billion decimal digits was published by Daisuke Takahashi on August 17th 2009. The main computation lasted 29 hours and used 640 nodes of a T2K Open Supercomputer (Appro Xtreme-X3 Server). Each node contains 4 Opteron Quad Core CPUs at 2.3 GHz, giving a peak processing power of 94.2 Tflops (trillion floating point operations per second).
My computation used a single Core i7 Quad Core CPU at 2.93 GHz giving a peak processing power of 46.9 Gflops. So the supercomputer is about 2000 times faster than my computer. However, my computation lasted 116 days, which is 96 times slower than the supercomputer for about the same number of digits. So my computation is roughly 20 times more efficient. It can be explained by the following facts:
* The Pi computation is I/O bound, so it needs very high communication speed between the nodes on a parallel supercomputer. So the full power of the supercomputer cannot really be used.
* The algorithm I used (Chudnovsky series evaluated using the binary splitting algorithm) is asymptotically slower than the Arithmetic-Geometric Mean algorithm used by Daisuke Takahashi, but it makes a more efficient use of the various CPU caches, so in practice it can be faster. Moreover, some mathematical tricks were used to speed up the binary splitting. " ( http://bellard.org/pi/pi2700e9/faq.html )
How can Microsoft control Open Source? Flood the gates with software to get a foot in the door. They (and google) both have the manpower to really take over what the "standard" open source operating system is. Having control over the masses from the ground up is crucial to success. Just ask.... Microsoft.
Remember when gamespy was quakespy? And there was Mplayer?
I used to play q2 tournaments on Mplayer. But all the mods rolled on Quakespy/Gamespy. It gave people from such communities as the Action Quake/Quake 2 group some exposure.
More recently a great example of such a contrast is the early release of Halo 2 and even the lack of multiplayer support in the Original Halo in the beginning.
Before xbox live we had Xbox Connect which allowed me to play online before xbox live was mainstream. Furthermore it allowed for the playing of Halo 2, online, months before it came out.
This includes modified versions of Halo and Halo 2 that would never be realized without dedicated servers.
This culture is not even recognized by the noob gamers that started playing games online through a console portal.

The people of North Korea are so isolated he could say the Japanese were sending over Godzilla to justify an attack, and the outcome would be the same with regards to domestic support.
If I was somebody who was aware of the failure of the cameras in terms of identification I would simply stop caring they exist.
In EVERY situation there are cameras it is a excercise in futility.
For Example:
In highschool we would do various illegal activities in the back. They put up cameras. We got scared. After about a month we stopped caring and it was business as usual, but we got more sneaky and better at our activities. We even would stage large fights right in front of the cameras with absolutely no mediation.
Moral of the story is that nothing beats an on duty cop/teacher in person patrolling. All these cameras have done for London is made them the base for 1984 jokes for the past few years.
Except our new government (Conservatives) have lost their minds and are pushing mandatory minimum sentences.
The Union discusses the extradition of Marc Emory. At this point and time Marc is going to jail. Further failings of Canadian sovereignty and our failtard government.
We need to take charge as people and raise this issue. It's broader than simply people getting to ingest their drugs. It's about the corrupted War On Drugs mentality that fuels the legal monster which eats hard working and law abiding citizens in the name of meeting a quota.

Yes, in Canada we have chipped cards EXACTLY as per the link you posted.

I have the same chip on my credit card. I begged for a non-chipped card because they are slightly slower to use.

To this day his grandson is confused as to whatever his grandfather could be referencing.
The tearful ending is that his grandfather is Jim Clark.
The million dollar question is would you still object if you had a reduced bill?

Yes it requires an account to download.
However it is not verified. AKA login immediately after.
I pounded the keyboard a few times and dloaded no problem.
I'd tell u my user and pass if I could.

Yes. Sometimes I think that I am getting too old for this game.

My school doesn't "support" LINUX but that's the beauty of Linux when faced with a barrier go around it.
Been running Backtrack ( http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html ) since year 1 (going on 4th now)
Found that I actually have more "options" with my BT than my Windows partition.
If they don't know of/support Linux make them wish they did ;)
Unless that CD is blank, then you pay again.*
Canada needs to stop repeating it's ridiculous history regarding this corporate puppetry.
I'm sick of trying to explain to people why DVDs cost less than CDs where I work.
