Riot police would "calm" the protesters and money would be handed anyway. This happened when money was handed in much larger quantities to investment banks. This will be peanuts in comparison.
Oligarchy is well in control, and pretence of democracy isn't going to shield you from their wrath when you little people try to stomp all over their rights to fuck you over.
In general, when something happens that causes catastrophies, we call it "catastrophic". Such as, you know, climate change.
Granted if you happen to live in those regions where climate change hasn't brought a significant impact yet, you can ignore it. Unfortunately most people don't have this luxury, and since news travel nearly instantly worldwide in the age of internet, I'm afraid you'll have to get off most of the internet if you want to stop hearing stories about other regions on the planet.
Already forgot the tsunami that killed over 30.000 people and effectively wiped out infrastructure in large region of Japan I see. Granted that's not hard to do considering that media largely ignored that part in favour of far less damaging Fukushima accident caused by said tsunami instead.
Rising crust causes earthquakes. Those cause direct damage as well as tsunamis. Are you certain you wish to outright dismiss forces that when applied to earth crust trump biggest nuclear weapons we have by orders of magnitude so easily?
Yes, but those talk about regions where there were massive layers of glaciers, typically over a kilometre thick. A good measure of where those ended is "where the exceptionally fertile black top soil is abundant". Because that fertile black top soil is the top soil that was dragged by expanding glaciers from northern regions to its current place.
As a result, speed of this rise is very stable, as crust recovers from pressure during thousands and tens of thousands of years. It most certainly should not apply to regions without significant former glacier coverage, such as very fertile California, and it should not suddenly accelerate or decelerate. It's going to keep rising at a very steady speed over tens of thousands of years, as it has done before and is doing now.
It does of course. When a vampire can't get enough blood because there are fewer victims, he'll draw more blood from each individual victim to compensate.
And of course, the blood of those who no one ever gets to suck from becomes a prized delicacy.
It's the exact opposite. Urbanisation is massive, Sweden is already up to 85% of people living in cities, Finland is at 70%, but estimates are that we will be hitting Swedish numbers within a decade. The trend is ongoing since the sixties and remains unchanged.
If you want to live in the middle of nowhere, Finland is a great place to be. Huge surface area, very few people. But don't ask for good services, and most people like living in tighter groups with many services available.
This is utterly foolish argument based on the concept of "protection" meaning "protection from all harm at any cost" rather than "reasonable protection" as is practices in most European countries.
That only concerns the most irradiated hot spots like red forest, and even there, all it has done was slow down the recycling so trees grow slower. They still grow however, and animals still graze.
Police state is a state where police does the governing of the citizens, not the state where police protects the citizens. There's a significant difference.
A good example of it is current mess in Ferguson. Police is clearly trying to govern the citizens. Answers to protests are curfew and militarized response rather than negotiation and search for acceptable solution.
Nope. The way I use the machine, I would find out within a month or two at the latest. Even kernel level exploits are spottable from different OS, and I am very sensitive to even small slowdowns of the system and tend to investigate them.
You and whoever modded you up needs to get their head checked. Police's primary task is to maintain law and order. Arresting people is but one small subset of this. The main subset is in fact crime prevention. That's why they patrol the streets, hold various campaigns, negotiate with relevant parties in domestic disputes and so on.
I always log on as admin on my home machine. The only time I ever got a virus on a machine was back in 1990s, where I got hit by a floppy virus that did nothing except propagate itself.
I also got owned once when I reinstalled XP on network that was completely open to the internet and forgot to unplug the PC during the installation. That installation got owned before I installed firewall in a very obvious way - it started throwing porn ad popups everywhere. I nuked the drive with format c: and reinstalled after about 20 minutes with PC unplugged.
But I haven't gotten owned once because I run as a full admin. It's more risky, sure, but it's far more comfortable to use. And security is always a trade off between risk and comfort, and safety and discomfort. And if you're smart enough at using your PC, using it as an admin, and installing from other sources is quite safe nowadays.
You may accept the discomfort that comes with your degree of safety. Many of us don't. And many of us are in fact smart enough not to get owned even at our lower safety level.
I don't think this is about "agreeing". He actually stated a fact. We know what happens when we irradiate a region to the point where most people leave. It happened in Chernobyl.
Right now, Exclusion Zone around Chernobyl is one of the greatest nature conservation parks in the world. It was a very clear proof of the fact that humans are one of the greatest if not the single greatest threat to biodiversity, and a far greater threat than significantly elevated background radiation combined with some of the more harmful isotopes that penetrate key organs and remain.
Whoever modded OP -1 troll needs to take a long look at findings at Chernobyl.
You misunderstand. OCZ has (had?) an official policy of taking a controller, disabling any data safety features they thought they could get away with to squeeze a little bit of extra on benchmarks, and then cover the massive return rates with sheer numbers of sales.
We all know how that particular form of engineering and marketing strategy turned out in the end. Bankruptcy.
Obviously this doesn't preclude the possibility that many of the drives in the wild will work for years and years. This is simply because reliability is a matter of risk and risk being realized. Even a drive with 99% failure rate every year has a chance of working for decades. OCZ drives were in low double digits failure rate, so quite a few of them last years.
The problem is that this doesn't eliminate the fact that they have over double the failure rate of market average over their entire lineup, and certain models had failure rates of around 1/3 of all sold during warranty.
I can give you another freak anecdote. I still have two 120 gig seagate 7200.7s. Those drives are about fourteen years old. They spent most of their life as a system drive in what was first my gaming rig and later my backup server rig as the OS drive. They still work beautifully, both of them. But they are absolutely an exception, just like your OCZ drive. Most of their peers are dead. As are most of the peers of your drive.
Radio frequencies and traffic that can be fit to be carried on them are a naturally limited commodity. There is nothing "manufactured" about their scarcity, unless you're into Intelligent Design and are accusing the Creator.
There's no such thing as "OCZ SSD that isn't bad in terms of reliability", because they were specifically designed to be cheap and fast. To achieve that they specifically cut down on reliability.
Indeed. I still know people that won't touch seagate after 7200.11 barracuda controller fiasco (I lost one drive to it as well).
They replaced them all upon request with 7200.12s that had no controller problem, and I do still have ~14 year old 7200.7s running, so I know it's a one freak model. But many people still won't touch them after getting burned.
OCZ was basically nothing but 7200.11. Massive failure rates.
You don't understand. OCZ has a history of a very specific form of manufacturing and marketing strategy.
What they did for a long time was take a SSD controller that every else uses, and then disable every single data safety feature they can get away with so they can squeeze a little extra speed in benchmarks out of it. Then they actively market themselves as "fastest and cheapest SSD maker". The obvious result is that their drives are very fast, very cheap and very unreliable.
This wasn't about one model being off. This is their consistent strategy and why their returns were over double industry standard and sitting in double digits of percent. Their strategy was to sell a lot of drives with marketing hype to overcome the costs from massive amount of failed drives.
It failed and company went bankrupt and had to be bought out by Toshiba. And now it seems to continue with the trend.
The "aircraft completed while dysfunctional and unable to enter active duty" part is downright crazy and it's very strange that anyone could argue it to be a good thing.
The aircraft that is going to be ready will need to be at the very least upgraded several times, and likely torn apart and rebuilt completely before they are operational. As I understood the program, those built ones are simply so that LM can pretend it delivered something in exchange for massive amount of money sunk into the program so far. While in reality they deliver nothing that actually functions at all, and it ends up costing more because the already built aircraft while base development work is still not complete will mandate spending more to actually get the aircraft operational.

Very rare to never actually. In a tug of war between list maintainers and advertisers, adblock definitely has the upper hand and had it for years.
Sometimes either situation you describe happens, but that is usually fixed in days, and then takes weeks to change again.

That is your opinion and we already know that you find that loss of usability acceptable.
Many of us, including myself find that unacceptable in terms of usability and log in as admin regardless of OS.
