No, I just want what's best for the consumer. If you think price discrimination is good for anyone except capitalists, you're not just naive, you're a sucker.
Do you want to pay the same price for the entire 4800 series?
Yes. It costs the same to produce either way, so it should cost the same to buy. If ATI had to sell the same card to everyone at the same price, they'd have to sell it at a reasonable price for everyone or they wouldn't sell any.
the ONLY difference between the two was the firmware, which switched off some of the stream processors in the HD4830. This is good for the consumer as they have different price points
Nonsense. Being sold a deliberately crippled product is not good for the consumer.
ScummVM is your one stop for Adventure games. The original point & click adventure games. It's free and available on any platform, but you will require original game files. Many can be had at Good Old Games, as well as the usual less legal options.
Start off with some of the Humongous Entertainment games. Freddie the Fish or Pajama Sam. Great for kids, and fun to play together. Then move to LucasArts games. Day of the Tentacle is very funny and colorful game. LOOM is beautiful, and fairly straightforward to play. The Dig is epic sci-fi, and not too complex either. Sierra games are for the advanced student.
Then just let her loose on Just Adventure and let her see what she likes.
For example I might have an album by artist A and an album by Artist B. But then I might have a "Beach Music" album where I add one song from artist A and one from artist B into it. I actually duplicate the file on my hard drive
Why does China need Google? Is there anything Google does that Baidu can't, or won't be able to with a little motivation?
Google would thrive if China disappeared, sure. But if Google were forced out of China, to be replaced by Bing (for exampley), that would put them at a competitive disadvantage, even outside of China.
MDMA is safer than most forms of entertainment. You are much more likely to die in the car on the way to a rave than dying from MDMA at the rave.
Also, "weeds" aren't necessarily safer than "research chemicals". Jimson weed, for instance is far more dangerous than that unapproved synthetic (but totally non-toxic) research chemical LSD.
I don't usually complain about moderation, but the above post needs to be modded down.
How did this arrest go down? This is clearly a more interesting development then yet another Sony hack. Hopefully there will be more information forthcoming.
Because most of the negative effects of drugs are directly caused by prohibition. It's entirely possible for an opiate addict to hold down a job and raise a family. This is a proven result from heroin maintenance programs. The problem comes when addicts are stigmatized, and prices are artificially inflated. Then they can't get a job, and can't afford their fix, so they turn to petty crime. Entirely due to prohibition.
Similarly, it's easy to smoke a lot of pot in college and still do well. Happens all the time. But if you get caught smoking pot in college, prepare to lose your financial aid. This is clearly worse than anything pot will do to you.
But then another website might require at least 6 characters (alphanumeric), but DOES NOT ALLOW non-alphanumeric characters. So now you have two different passwords to remember
You're going to have to remember 2 different passwords anyway. That is, unless you want Sony hackers to be able to access your email/facebook/slashdot account.
How does this work? Bitcoin is anonymous right until you receive the contraband. If you're making anonymous drug trades with someone on the internet, there's even less guarantee that they're not a cop than if you're working with someone you know. If you have to receive the drugs in person, the extra anonymity doesn't help you.
And at this point, why are drug dealers the first to get on board with Bitcoin? Bitcoins are only valuable if you can trade them for something useful. If you can buy drugs with Bitcoins, that makes them valuable to the cusomer. But what will the drug dealer do with the Bitcoins?
On the one hand, it's possibly Palin supporters who are trying to promote Palin's mistakes. This makes Palin look stupid. On the other hand, it's possibly Palin detractors who are trying to publicize Palin's statements. That makes Palin look stupid.
Whoever is doing the edits, one thing is clear. Palin's statements make her look stupid.
No, the English language has constraints that decrease the entropy. English text only has about 1.5 bits of entropy per character, giving you 45 bits. If you use all printable ASCII characters, you get 6.5 bits of entropy per character. That's about the same as an 8 character case-sensitive alphanumeric password.

Sounds like you need to move.
It is not "protection money."
It is a royalty.
What's the difference? It's the old "freedom fighter" vs "terrorist" distinction. The only real difference is in who you ask.
Will non-free firmware taint the kernel?
No, I just want what's best for the consumer. If you think price discrimination is good for anyone except capitalists, you're not just naive, you're a sucker.
I'd want one with a wireless beacon so I can find it if I lose it. I've lost half a dozen maglites throughout the years.

It's not illegal until you get caught.
No, he is. You are correct.

They won't block all external communications services. Just the ones that won't filter and spy as the Chinese government wants.
Guess the seven proxies weren't enough.

They don't care if anyone outside China believes it. They are building pretext to block Google entirely.

Neither of which are Nobel Prizes.

Advances in computing should fall under Math, but there's no prize for that either.
That's what we usually call a RetCon.

Since when does a consonant-vowel-consonant sequence imply a long vowel?
