At least they have to vote with the party line! The Democrats here have every advantage at the moment and still can't accomplish anything, ostensibly for lack of party discipline.
Thanks for posting that. I didn't realize this was a famous quote; to me it was just something I had read on some forum a few months ago that seemed worthy of reposting here.
What was Pandemic's first game anyway? Battlezone 2? A disappointment like that was a clear indicator of the sort of garbage that studio would put out.
Unfortunately, it seemed like they may have actually been getting better as they made more games.
So Nicaragua comes out and does something really interesting and in response we subject their 400 mhz K6-2 server to the Slashdot Effect. Whose idea was this? Henry Kissinger?
Who would you suggest we bailout? As far as I can tell, they're all fuckers. Any extra money would end up in the pockets of suits rather than scientists, unless it's the government doing the research. Then there's at least a chance of the scientists actually getting the money.
A military contractor wrote a report making a foreign power look like a military threat.
I don't doubt China is spying here, electronically and otherwise. However, it seems like a conflict of interest to have someone who would benefit from escalated military production evaluating our military needs.
If there's not a project to fit your bill, develop it internally and release it as an OSS project. It'll add some nice OSS experience to your resume and also add visibility to your employer. If it succeeds, it'll be a big deal for your company. If it doesn't succeed, at least you got the project done. Sounds like everyone wins.
I've never actually done this (my employer balks at the suggestion), but I'd love to have that sort of opportunity.
It's not just that wires are unsightly; I imagine it's much simpler to create a new capacitor bus route rather than an electric route with overhead cables. With that level of infrastructure build-out, seems to me like they'd just go ahead and build a proper streetcar line.

Did you miss the part about "cautions from the police"?
Why make phone calls at all? It's a vacation! If there's anyone back home worth talking to, invite them to come along.
You'll have to pardon my prejudice if I don't take culinary advice from someone named TubeSteak
You can, but they're tiny and expensive even compared to other SSD's

Grams is a measure of mass, not weight. Take something to the Moon and it will have far less weight, but the mass will remain constant.

Political satire lost all meaning when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

the defense industry.
When's the last time our military defended anything? Not in my lifetime!
Let me know when my government learns to do anything effectively besides killing
It may be easier to find available in stock because this one costs $600 according to Phoronix. That'll really push some people out of the market!
...and the ones with the eyebrows are Leonid Brezhnevs!

I too have an anecdote.
My 2009 Yaris has never accelerated fast enough to cause trouble either. In fact, it couldn't if it tried!

I don't know about you, but I'd like to retire someday!
I went to that link. It has an Intel Atom CPU.
WTF are you talking about?
Because it's too close to the truth for people to be comfortable with it
People want the sugar coated war they see on TV. Very few people would support the war if they knew what it actually meant.
The NSA ought to have enough knowledge. If not, congress can fund them instead of a private contractor.
The military-industrial complex is a threat to the entire world. Eisenhower knew what he was talking about.
A military contractor wrote a report making a foreign power look like a military threat.

What if they sniff the channels first and pick the least crowded one? My wifi router (Tomato) already does this.
If the encryption is seamless (the way it is with modern cell phones), then there's no good reason not to do it.
