    Not to mention the VAST majority of those have NOTHING to do with nuclear power plants. A lot of them are laboratory incidents.

    This simple enough for you?

    Don't forget the illuminary version that bounces off your living room walls for years (with some data loss of course)!

    You can't be sued for the same *infringement* twice, just like you can't be sued for the same murder twice. If you later download again, they *may* be able to sue you again (just like if you murder someone else later), but IANAL, so add the appripriate amount of salt.

    Oh, you were referencing that present tense part. Fair enough.

    You bake in an oven, you FRY in oil!

    I don't see how the title was misleading, that exactly how I read it.

    1) A robot may not injure a non-combatant or, through inaction, allow a non-combatant being to come to harm.
    2) A robot must obey the orders given to it by its masters, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
    3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

  17. Re:Background tasks close on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention a lot of games that let you use your own music in them (gta for example). You either have to have 2 copies of everything, load it off a remote machine (samba) or *sudder* access an NTFS partition from the Linux side.

    You do know that Netflix works very well on that PS3 you use for gaming right?

  19. Re:seriously? not this again on Hounded By Recruiters, Coders Put Themselves Up For Auction · · Score: 2

    If you can't even retain the employees you spent 5 years working, why should any experienced working quit their current job to work for you? In case you didn't notice, I bolded "keep", as in "if don't piss off your greens, eventually they'll become the senior developers you've been looking for".

  20. Re:seriously? not this again on Hounded By Recruiters, Coders Put Themselves Up For Auction · · Score: 2

    Then hire greens and keep them for 5 years until they are no longer greens.

  21. Summary? on German Police Stop Man With Mobile Office In Car · · Score: 1

    That's not a summary, that's a 1:1 copy of the entire article!

  22. Re:Marketing strategy on German Police Stop Man With Mobile Office In Car · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seeing as the 2-officer cars have twice as many officers, I would assume that there would be a higher percentage of deaths in a 2-officer setup. Usually 1 car gets dispatched to a location, if something goes horribly wrong and there's only 1 officer, then only 1 officer can be killed. If there are 2 officers, then you can potentially have 2 officers killed. Another way to look at it is in percentages (which you seem to like). If you have 60 officers and 40 cars, then you have half your cars with 1 officer and half with 2. Now if you were to randomly kill 20 officers, chances are about 2/3 (close to 65%) of them would have been in 2-officer situations while 1/3 (close to 35%) would have been in 1-officer situations.
