That's what I thought at first. Trust me, I read those 2 paragraphs about 6 times (as did someone else I showed it to) and they have DEFINITELY gotten it backwards.
The "normal" drive (where the shifter stops when pulled straight) is the "OD", the non-OD (you have to push-pull to get there) is for trailers and prevents the downshifting-overdrive.
What, and stop getting paid $125+ to reflash a firmware chip each time? The bluray drive in my PS3 stopped working a while back and I'm REALLY dreading paying $150 (I want another fat, not a slim due to lack of "Other OS") to replace a drive that should cost $50.
The real problem is that console manufacturers are MAKING money each time a system "dies", even if "death" is nothing but a 5-minute reflash away from living!
Could you please explain your example? Are you talking about the search engine itself (that is not redistribution of content, only listing). If that's the case, I think you now need to google (or altavista as it seems you may prefer) "redistribution" and "listing/indexing"...
3) I had the brakes fail once on my car (That is auto) and I used the downshifting technique to slow myself down and gradual usage of the parking break to stop. I use engine breaking a lot just to practice in case something like that ever happens again.
Either I'm reading that wrong, or you didn't have a real overdrive. Overdrive is basically an extra-high gear that (normally) causes in the output shaft of the transmission to be faster than the input shaft. This would cause the RPM's (of the motor) to be LOWER when OD is engaged.
Note: My family has a Buick with an "overdrive" that is actually the OPPOSITE of an overdrive (it bloody down-shifts). Who-ever at Buick that decided to call it an overdrive needs to be fired. Your vehicle may have had the same mis-labled feature.
For my post to be irrelevant, we would have to have still been using manual switching stations in 1993, which was the reason for traces taking time as each station had to be called up and asked where an incoming call was originating from.
Hit a nerve did I? I do not assume there everyone is from my "little" corner of the world. I did not realise that UK credit cards had pins. A simple informative post was all that was necessary.
Just a warning to other/.'ers, AmiMoJo believes that intricate knowledge of credit card information in every country of the world is a pre-requisite to being intelligent.
...he stayed on the phone a bit longer than he should have.
You do know that phone traces are instantanious these days right? The only exception is if you are doing some VERY, VERY creative routing, which not very many people know how to do.
First of all, credit cards don't have pins, debit cards do. Second of all, you're talking about the same people that write their pins on the backs of their credit cards right?
So in 1968, the russians take a bunch of standard characters, print them out onto paper and film it. 42 years later the Americans spend millions of dollars creating a convoluted ineficient browser plugin (flash) in order to display it.
Are you seriously suggesting that people are spending enough money on fake child pornography (CG, etc) that you can't tell the difference between it and the real thing?!?
Mostly correct, this case was actually brought up in our Law class (sorry, I don't have a solid reference for it). A guy was taken to court for posession of child pornography. However once in court, it was established that not a single one of the images involved an actual human being, but that they were all cartoons. The courts ruled that unless a child is involved, there was no crime.
I do not believe however that "one's own use" is at all a requirement, just that there are no real children involved.
Does anyone know the statistics on how much mail goes missing compared to going through? I'd hate to send in a cheque for $1000 just to find out the cheque never made it. Especially since that cheque is the ONLY COPY!
Most non techies don't have paypal or know how to transfer money between bank accounts for free.
Setting up online banking is pretty bloody easy if you ask me. For that matter, I guarantee you that it's a heck of a lot easier than setting up "cheque by smartphone".
Misdemeanour? I've been given pdf files that take 2 minutes per page to load (bmp background on EVERY page of a slideshow). This is a full-out CRIME in my books!!
There was a rummor a while back that someone had found linux-compiled executables in a few steam games (CS series). That combined with this new "drop the windows-specifc embedded browser) could mean that we won't need to use wine at all in the future:D

Someone needs to google "abusing a monopoly".
Kind of makes the non-photocopy-able security features kind of useless now doesn't it...?

Yeah, and if it's not cold enough, we'll truck in more snow from Manning :D

Drivers, software updates for programs you never use (wmplayer), "weekly scans" even though you already have AV, etc.
