You're at a membership-only swimming pool at 3 pm on the 11th. There are four other people at the pool. Your wallet is stolen. You report it to the police and cancel your credit cards. End of story. If you go to the trouble of filing a lawsuit then you must be a lawyer. Bet the next step is to sue the now identified John Doe for $23B in lost time, pain and suffering. You found your wallet in the car by this time, but the suit is already filled, so might as well cash in. The person settles and you have $8k that you didn't earn. Yay legal system.
Something that so few care about hardly "ruins" a console.
So few care about? Your on slashdot, so most people here care about it. Remember your audience, if my watch doesn't run linux it's not cool enough for slashdot.
Y2K would have crashed some systems, but they hype about exploding nukes and crashing planes was just hype. I'm glad a lot of programmers spent time fixing systems making the transition near seamless, but the media hype told a much different story about the threat than the reality. That was my point, no insult intended.
While you are asking Santa for things, don't forget to make it harder for them to raise their own salaries and benefits. Sure the president has to sign the bills, but is any president going to tell congress 'No you can't have a pay raise.'?
It's pretty hard to be known for anything other than catch phrases when the media reports only what they want to report. The media has been marginalizing the TEA party since it started. I remember seeing a report on the Coffee party long before I saw an actual report on the TEA party. Now they say it's just an arm of the Republican party, the Republicans would like that were it true.
As for catch phrases without substance instead of ideas: "Yes We Can!" Guess that guy will be bashed by the media and never get elected.
Yeah that group from the 18th century was so uncivilized. They were just a bunch of homegrown terrorists with no idea how to parlay with real men of culture or how to fight with the civility of modern warfare. Savages really. They also distributed pamphlets that said the most disturbing things about king and crown, but the 'American' people were so stupid that even the pamphlets had to have pictures in them. Their new government also shows signs of their naivety, it has not supreme leader, just separate branches designed to counteract each other. It's like they want to prevent the government from accomplishing anything. I for one don't expect them to last 10 years on their own.
You miss the point. There is NO actual threat. If an individual system is connected to the Internet and controls critical things then it is the problem. The trumped threat here is about the same as the Y2K claims. Sure a few systems might crash, but we won't have nuclear weapons launching and power plants exploding. The ability to shut down the Internet, or parts of it, is not about an actual threat, it's about control. Both sides of the political aisle see the Internet as an uncontrolled medium for freedom of speech, and on both sides there are those that see it as something that must be controlled. I used to be strongly for public decency standards on the internet, such as preventing porn from getting to minors, but now I've come to realize that you have to get the good with the bad or just the bad because those that play by the rules are the only one's subjected to the rules.
Round 3... an explosion at a power station has downed power on the East Coast.
Riiiight. So the Internet has the power to blow up power stations? If this were the case then it's not an Internet problem. Needless to say I have serious doubts as to how this could occur and I work in the industry.
Just guessing, but you can probably get the same effect by using a rear projector and a camera to look for reflections on the screen. Might even be how they did it in the first place.
I bought a used HP color laserjet for home use after getting frustrated with the cost of replacing ink. When I purchased it a year and a half ago it was almost out of black toner. It's still almost out of black toner. I only print on average a couple of pages a week, but with an inkjet the cost per sheet is obscene because the cartridges clog if you do not continually use them. Never had a problem printing when I want to print, and when the black toner does run out it's cheap enough to refill. My printer has an override that allows printing regardless of toner status, but the newer HPs don't, even then toner kits are easily available with fresh chips for much less than the actual toner cartridge price. At this point that almost empty toner cartridge is probably going to last a couple more years, and the printer payed for itself in less than a year.
The pot is black. Underneath its painted on exterior the pot is black, and it is only because the pot pays lots of money to be painted that it ever appears to be white. Often the money changes hands slyly so that people can't realize that the pot is black. In fact lets show you this very black pot over here to demonstrate how black the pot really is. This is a pot that payed a lot of money to be painted white but we caught it. Oh and the kettle is also black.
Thanks slashdot for showing your political bias as always. The article was bad enough, but when it was posted on slashdot it became even more one sided. "Does the GOP pay friendly bloggers?" Yeah that's unbiased. Also, don't pose a question when you are going to tell the readers something. Be honest about your slant: "The GOP pays for friendly bloggers." Would be a much nicer headline.
When a teacher gives certain students an 'F' on a test and never returns tests back that is suspicious. When the same teacher has a feud with another teacher who runs an extracurricular activity which the students take part in that is also suspicious. When it is a pre-cal teacher and the extra curricular activity is Math UIL that's more than suspicious. And when after reviewing the student's homework which is nearly perfect, and then finally getting to review the tests (after the teacher was forced by administrators to hand them over) the tests are nearly perfect but are graded as Fs (and not high Fs). You can't take away 60 points because you don't like the person, things like that only happen on slashdot. But sadly at that point nothing could be done. The tests were out in the open and "open to fraud" the homework was insubstantial as evidence, and all that was left was for the students to retake the suspiciously scored tests. They passed with As by the way.
From my research geothermal heating is wonderful, cooling not so much. If you live in a cold climate then it's very efficient and cheaper than other heating methods. If you live in a hot climate it is slightly more efficient than a conventional heat pump, but at a cost difference that will NEVER pay for itself. I figure in a few years both geothermal heat pumps and evacuated tube solar collectors will take up most of the heating in the north. Maybe when the technology becomes more commonplace (cheaper) it will also be beneficial to use it in hot climates.
If you really want to save then throw up some radiant barrier in your attic along with some blown insulation. It's quick, cheap, and easy to do yourself. After that the next step is to get a high efficiency AC unit. Of course before you even do all this it's worthwhile to close every draft in your house. Conserving energy and conserving money can go hand in hand.
But buying a Prius doesn't tell everyone I'm green. If the point of being green was truly to conserve then we would see much different fads. The point of being green, to the masses at least, is to sooth your own conscience while at the same time showing everyone else how 'good' you are.
Nobody wants to live in a trailer. They are cheap and provide a roof and four walls. Would you rather that people who cannot afford to buy a house go homeless? Or is it better to finance everyone so that even people who cannot afford a house can get one? We all know what California's answer was.
Source? Proof? Is there anything showing embryonic stem cells that are not genetically identical to the recipient being used successfully in humans? We are not talking about umbilical cord stem cells here. These are embryonic stem cells that are not from the recipient, if you want to compare those then I admit you are right, but the generic statement is flawed.
From my own experience, even if you catch a teacher flunking students intentionally you still can't get them fired. At least not if they have tenure. New teachers make next to nothing, teachers who have their tenure make substantially more. So you have teachers that can't get fired and are making lots of money while also dominating water-cooler politics, and at the same time you have new teachers trying to make a difference while making next to nothing and trying to keep out of trouble with water-cooler politics. Yeah, after what I saw in high-school, I decided I would never become a teacher unless I was independently wealthy enough to be able to quit at any time for any reason. And you wonder why it's the bad teachers that tend to stick around.

I would, but my internet got turned off because I posted unpopular opinions.
And this is why it is illegal to whistle underwater in Vermont. Posion pills sometimes get swallowed.

Wait, there were! And they were actually notable people saying it. But of course talking about the second amendment is code for presidential assassination, but actually advocating presidential assassination is freedom of speech. So, which Nobel peace prize winner wants to assassinate Obama?
