Perhaps its because no one has been there since 1960. Perhaps its because the submarine is apparently a glass sphere. Perhaps they plan to go deeper. Perhaps the article they linked to used the word "record"
Did you read the article or research any basic facts? Naw I guess not. You just wanted to bitch.
Because furlongs, and chains are not in common usage? And because if the submitter did put it in furlongs and chains there would be a million assholes (Im gonna guess including you) bitching about slashdot using an anachronistic form of measure.
Now you can claim that the imperial measurement system itself is by and large outdated, but it is still in use here in the US, and this is a US based webpage. So if you dont mind, we would prefer keeping the words that are in common usage here in the states.
Yes, there are plenty of republicans who feel the government should only do two things, kill brown people, and keep them out of the country.
There are sane people, but for some reason many of them refuse to take a stand against the bat shit crazies. The crazies on the far right (including teabaggers) wont be happy until every single piece of the government is chopped up and sold off piece meal to a for profit corp that will require a profit margin to do the same job that the government did without the profit margin.
That what I never understood about "fiscal conservatives" how can we save money if we have a new cost, namely profit margin. Until I hear a reasonable answer anyone who wants to offload government duties to a corporation will be just plain stupid in my book.
Ive never been a cop, but I did serve in the military.
You never point your weapon at someone unless you fully intend to use it. A swat team for any internet based crime is too much. This wasn't a drug lords house, it wasn't a weapon smugglers house. There is absolutely no reason to throw people to the ground with a multitude of weapons pointed at them for mere suspicion of a internet based crime.
Perhaps the cops should remember that they way they act at all times is what the citizens see of their police force. Acting in what appears to be a reckless and heavy handed way does not encourage the populace to back the police. You can see that now as the police have tarnished their own reputation with alot of the needless violence that they themselves propagate. (I dont feel I need sources here because it seems that you can find new cases of police brutality on video daily).
When my unit did searches in Iraq it was cordon and knock. We knocked on the door, told them why we were there, gave the place a through search, sometimes we were even served tea by the locals. Keep in mind this was the military, we could have easily kicked in the door, threw people to the ground and yelled at them. We would not have been nearly as successful.
Here is a paper from 15 years ago from the University of New South Wales.
The above summary shows that energy payback times for modules incorporating thick silicon cells are, at worst, of the order of six to seven years and possibly less than three years. Since warranty periods of 20 years are routinely offered on such modules[ ] it is clear that the embodied energy should be easily recovered.
Energy payback estimates for rooftop PV systems are 4, 3, 2, and 1 years: 4 years for systems using current multicrystalline- silicon PV modules, 3 years for current thin-film modules, 2 years for anticipated multicrystalline modules, and 1 year for anticipated thin-film modules (see Figure 1). With energy paybacks of 1 to 4 years and assumed life expectancies of 30 years, 87% to 97% of the energy that PV systems generate won’t be plagued by pollution, greenhouse gases, and depletion of resources.
Or the GOP who want to increase spending by shipping truck loads of tax cuts to the wealthy. Way to cut that deficit.
Hell screw it.. Ill pay 50% tax flat rate, but that means everyone else does too.. no games no rebates everyone is in 50%. Any corporation caught cheating on their taxes will be dissolved and sold to the highest bidder. Fuck the 0% tax some of these corps pay. Oh and no fucking bailouts, sink or swim fuckers. Your business model failed? Tough Titty. Oh and revoke any "person-hood" rights from companies. NO free speech, No political contributions. None of that crap. They get caught funneling money, well guess what we do with companies that willfully break the law? You guessed it auction that baby off and pay down the debt with it. Yep thats right I say we don't give a dime to the share holders. Whats that you guys always bitching about the free-market? Well you invest in a shady company and then loose your money well then you should have taken your money elsewhere in a true free-market attitude.
I was only pointing out that your analogy sucks. It doesn't work because of the fact that in your analogy they take something so that it cant be used by the other person. That's not happening with file sharing. That is why your analogy fails, and that is what I was pointing out.
I emailed them with a pdf map of all the bike routes in my city, and they had the map updated a few months later with a nice email thanking me. Yea a few months isnt great turnaround but the fact that they have a much more complete map of the bike trails was a big plus to me.
Someone gaining root access has the potential to access ALL information. Therefore someone breaking into a bank could take everything.
So the modified analogy would go like this: If a thief could take everything from the place he breaks into would he break into my apartment, or into a bank?
I'm going to guess he'll break into the bank.
So.. to wrap it up, as I see it the robber would much rather make off with 10,000 peoples assets then 1 persons. Which makes the bank a much bigger target.
Since when does the government have a right to monitor the movements of an entire city's population when 99% have probably done nothing wrong.
Also does this just check a database at one time or does it log it saying license ABC 123 went by bridge a at 8:05 am and passed office B at 8:15 am, etc.
One small part of google's portfolio determines 25% of an employees bonus. I know if I was on a team with something successful like gmail or the search engine, or android that I would be pretty pissed that a quarter of my bonus doesn't rely on my personal achievements. Which I think is the point of bonuses.. that is to award employees, beyond usual compensation, for a job well done.

They do.

I think google runs a dns on 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for that matter.
Braver though

It would be very easy to allow the rights of gamers and the "hackers". Sony doesnt want that. Sony is who you should be mad at.
I use the term hackers as in its original meaning of someone who tinkers with or "hacks" together something to learn from it..
Liar.

I'm willing to bet the efficiency has increased.

Heres another source: (pdf warning)
Energy payback estimates for rooftop PV systems are 4, 3, 2,
and 1 years: 4 years for systems using current multicrystalline-
silicon PV modules, 3 years for current thin-film modules,
2 years for anticipated multicrystalline modules, and
1 year for anticipated thin-film modules (see Figure 1).
With energy paybacks of 1 to 4 years and assumed life
expectancies of 30 years, 87% to 97% of the energy that
PV systems generate won’t be plagued by pollution, greenhouse
gases, and depletion of resources.

In short you are a liar in at least the solar panel area.

Oh yea! Well I've already downloaded it.
SWEET!! I can now tell the room mate that I cant clean the fridge out while I'm in there anyways. Id be infringing on a patent.
Fraud against the government then. We the people and all that jazz.

If you can copy my money without taking it then actually I have no problem whatsoever with that.
You analogy = fail.

Thats funny, I had a similar issue with a hard drive failing due to fist pounding lol. I was just trying to get damn drivers working properly.
Most of the country doesn't have those speeds, in fact there is often only one provider offering 5mb. Nonetheless that is still better then 512k.
google grape not google rape
You were wrong, you read his post badly. Perhaps you just wanted somewhere to place your opinion. Start a new post in that situation.
Lets expand on your analogy a little.
Someone gaining root access has the potential to access ALL information. Therefore someone breaking into a bank could take everything.
So the modified analogy would go like this:
If a thief could take everything from the place he breaks into would he break into my apartment, or into a bank?

If I only had a mod point for you. +1 Funny
