  1. what the old immigrants did to the revious population.

    Do you mean the "Native" Americans that took the land from the Clovis people?

  2. Mmmm ice cream

  3. The flicker you complain about seems psychosomatic, as the majority of LEDs have no flicker, but I guess you get what you pay for.

  4. Since this is an english language web site:

  5. Like have an outdoor light on your house when it rains?

    Really? Last I checked his DC system didn't get used, whereas Tesla invented the AC power system we use worldwide.

    Did you actually read the comment I replied to?

    Hint, I, and the OP were referring to this chart:

    Also, there is no way to test males for HPV, only females.

  9. So why exactly should we drop several hundred grand to update?

    Several hundred grand for what? If Software Assurance was bought with those Windows 7 licenses, or they were bought through enterprise agreements, it should cost you nothing to update. Where are you getting this several hundred grand from?

  10. I'll take a look at that, thank you for doing the work and sharing it.

    Are you sure about that?

    How could they have performed a bait and switch when the TOS of the API haven't changed?

    This has always been against the TOS, if routebuilder doesn't want to abide by the license, they can pay for ESRI instead.

    According to that page, Kleenex is still an active trademark that is used by the general population as a generic term. It doesn't appear that they lost the trademark though. Aspirin however has been ruled generic at least in the US.

    It would get settled for a free upgrade to the most recent version of the software which uses AES encryption.

    Also, how many go completely unpatched by the vendor because they don't understand encryption?

    At least with OpenSSL etc, the problems are fixed quickly.

    but why the fuck doesn't the First Order have security cameras in their prisons

    Especially when they showed a shitty freighter with security cameras all over it earlier in the movie.

    Considering it has created new records for income on a movie, I think the world disagrees with you.

    They list 10 minutes of Force use by Leia in the 6 movies, perhaps that is what they are referring to?

    I was wondering what Force Leia used in those moves, as I don't remember her using the force in a visible way.

    It isn't? I must be confused than, cause I remember Yoda hopping all over the place in his battle scene, and as that site mentions, Luke used it in his battle with Vader in Cloud City.

    I can see the connection. During El Nino, the prevailing winds in the Pacific ocean are to the East, this draws heat and humidity away from the East coast of Australia and Indonesia and into Chile which is usually very dry. It changes the weather patterns for both Americas and Eastern Asia and Oceania.
