I dont remember what went down exactly with the AC2 DDOS, but where anonymous and lulzsec around anywhere near like their present forms back then?
I cant see any trolling which produces more lulz then DDOS-ing gamers, the flaming on the Ubi forums will provide enough lulz for Anonymous to keep going for a while.
Yup, last week i contemplated picking up assasins creed 2 (used even, to not directly send money to ubi) or 3, because i really enjoyed AC1 (and supposedly, 2 and 3 have more free gameplay), but the always on DRM shit pretty much pushed me back to not buying it, this news once again strenghtened my resolve.
I have to little time to even play 0.01% of worthwhile games anyway, so cutting out ubisoft doesnt really hurt anyway, fuck those guys with their DRM
you are mixing the wrong types of payload. you are comparing Saturn V the rocket, with Soyuz the capsule. Soyuz the rocket can take 16.000 lbs to LEO even from baikonur. The capacity mentioned in the article is the amount of payload that can be taken on board the soyuz capsule. Which also means that there isnt a 86% increase in payload, since you are conveniently forgetting the capsule it rides in.
Also, if you want to talk about ironic, consider this, The ISS is placed in an orbit which was a compromise in terms of inclination between the shuttle and the soyuz ideal orbits, this means both craft have reduced capacity / longer flight paths to get there. Moments after the shuttle kicks it, the russians gain launch capability much closer to the shuttle's ideal inclination.
I will admit i know nothing about anonymous or lulzsec, but it wouldnt surprise if they worked like your basic internet echo chamber. If the right guy starts screaming the right way, all the other members start parroting and going along. I dont claim that this would be easy, but the lack of hierarchy doesnt preclude one person having influence over a large amount of followers.
As my AC sibling states, the RMBK design used in chernobyl uses graphite as a moderator, and the crippling design flaw wasnt a positive temperature co-efficient, but a positive void co-efficient. Granted, voids are generally caused by high temperatures, but arent the only factor.
No offense meant, but why the hell did you do that? If you bought a first gen eee, you knew what you where getting into, that it had a small SSD instead of a spinning platter drive, and since SSDs werent firstly introduced in the eee, the fact that NAND degrades and isnt a good choice for swap space was known as well.
I got a first gen eee as well, and did install linux as well, but instead of using swap, i just doubled the ram and disabled swap.
that's what i was thinking, the phone in the picture (and i actually clicked to TFA to verify it isnt the bathroom dropped one) looks absolutely unusable to me, even if it still powers up
If you are indeed as magnificent as you claim to be, you would know that appealing to authority without supplying even a shred of verifiable proof isnt exactly a good way to lend credibility to your statements.
Not to say i agree with the GPs assesment of ex-military guys in america (i dont know any at all, so i dont have much of a clue about them), but your internet tough guy style rebuttal is actually more ridiculous.
As someone responsible for the design, architecture and reliability of many of the laws of physics that you rely on every single day of your life AND an honorary member of the penthouse super secret "i had sex in space" club, i can tell you first hand that you're a tool.
'in almost every aspect' pretty much means that the reverse of the statement is impossible, unless you start looking for edge cases and just being a dick (like, 2 aspects, 1 is 'almost every aspect')
Next time, just post "i'm being a annoying dick" and quit wasting everyone's time
The result might be a more enjoyable phone though, i rooted my vodafone 845 nova (99 euro prepaid bargain bin android phone a year back) and i enjoyed it a lot more with root acces and a different launcher, even if the process of rooting wasnt exactly fun.
Note that ST transporters are built on scenario (B) where your consciousness is retained throughout the entire transport, with even an ability to see things while being transported (which was a plot of one episode.) Also if the discorporated matrix is lost the person dies for real.
The key here is the continuity of consciousness. No forking allowed. Once you fork one branch doesn't get any happier from a promise that the other branch will live happily ever after - every branch thinks for itself.
First, the idea of a russian invasion into any part of europe is laughable. Second, no one is advocating getting rid entirely of the US military.
The point is that it would be a good idea to stop letting the war industry run the US. Every time the CxOs needs a new yaught/villa/whatever, they send some kickbacks to their friends in high places, and a war on $EVIL is started and bilions are spent on weapons etc.. Keeping a MAD-capable nuclear arsenal and a few carier groups operational isnt the same as going on a never-ending tour of the middle east.
just as an anecotal counterpoint, my dad runs two x86 machine in his vet practice, both have been running since late 1995 for near 12 hours a day, one's a 486dx2, the other a pentium 60mhz. The pentium required a few new cpu fans (there is only so much runtime a bearing can take on those 40mm fans), and both machines need a good vacuming every 2-3 years, but thats about it.
I would be doing hand-to-hand combat with them trying to arrest a mother for not wanting her kid groped. They would have a REAL threat on their hands.
While i do hope that at some point the american public wakes up and does something about their overlords, you sound way to much like a generic "internet tough guy" to be taken seriously, even the most incompetent TSA thugs would probably taser/mace/club you into submission within 5 seconds. Violent revolt at the TSA checkpoint only works when you seriously outnumber the goons
Out of curiosity, where did you get an arm based ubuntu laptop? Over here all you can find in terms of non-x86 laptops are the chinese sub $99 netbook knock-offs spawned by the eee-pc, running either windows CE or obscure linux versions.
Also, with Adobe's history of supporting linux, why the hell did you expect any sort of support for linux on a non-x86 platform at all?
my dad runs his practica administration software (he's a vet), on a pentium 1 60 Mhz with 8mb ram, running windows 95. There is a second machine in the treatment room which acts as a client, which is a 486 dx2
This setup has been running 5-7 days a week for 12+ hours a day since late '95
the xbox 360 is not a dx9 box (the ps3 is though), it uses a "prototype" dx10 radeon sort of chip. It might not be fully up to dx10 spec, but it does use a unified shader architecture, which is the basis for the first dx10 radeons
as my two cowardly siblings post, any half-way modern diesel-electric sub with a couple of moderatly capable torpedos can put a serious dent in your day. A diesel-electric might not have the range, or submersion capabilities of a nuclear sub, but given the lack of always-on coolant pumps (which is a must for nuclear reactors), a good DE sub can pretty much become undetectable once submerged and running silent.
my siblings links to a chinese sub which reportedly could stay submerged for up to a week, even thought its speed is crippled running fully electric, you could easily lay one of those in an ambush
What, you mean libre-office, the open office fork that doesnt have the good old oracle ball and chain attached to both its feet?
That doesnt have anything to do with quality, that is just basic common sense, get out of there before Larry decides he wants a license fee, and you have to suddenly switch within a few days, or bend over.

Good old symbian s60 on nokia phones features a J2ME VM, probably their S40 phones do too.

i bought a 7" android tablet at the end of may, which features android 2.2 and a fully working market, no 3g though.
Not bad for a 99 euro device really, even if i only use it as a large screen PMP rather then a tablet

you forget steps 2 and 4:
You will just have to...
2) *put on sunglasses*
...open your Windows.
4) YEEEEAAAAAAAH

Ah, a violation of the extended "dont drink and root" rule :)
sleepiness and installing stuff don't mix ;)

jailbreaking is not functionaly equivalent to rooting

ask what the manager *really* wanted
you dont have a lot of experience dealing with business/management requirements, do you?
