I've got a bunch of old PC Gamer magazines from back when they were about 200 pages, and they are filled with voodoo reviews and ads. Those were fun, interesting times in the PC gaming world, when there was a lot of money for slick ad campaigns and large-format zines. Those were the days...
Russia isn't located entirely in Siberia, ya know. If you looked at the map that was posted above, you'd see it's a stone's throw from a town of some sort and it's very close to Moscow.
Good thing education isn't a business, then. No matter what the economy is doing, we need teachers teaching kids. That's why schools don't respond to the same economic pressures as businesses, because they're a vital public service.
Really, what would you suggest? You seem to want to fire a bunch of teachers when business is bad. What about class size? What about exhausting that smaller staff?
Ugh. You should be ready to slam on the brakes at any time. Don't ride so close that if you have to come to a sudden stop you'll hit the person in front of you. Just leave space.
I love how people come up with these scenarios where it's less their fault for driving dangerously. If you hit someone in front of you, you were being unsafe. End of story.
No, you shouldn't need split-second response time when driving. You should be predicting what the traffic is going to do and keeping a safe distance from cars in front of you. You aren't going to save any significant amount of time driving through a city speeding and tailgating.
Do I buy the right to listen to that song? Let's say I bought the Spice Girls record back in 1997, and I suddenly want to listen to it. Unfortunately it's old, and horribly scratched up. Do I need to go out to a store and buy a new copy? Is it really immoral to pretend i made a copy of it and download it from bittorrent? Thus, is that copy of Spice Girls really illegal in my case?
Is hacking mobile phones a big business nowadays?
Should we expect to see more security issues with our smartphones as they increase in popularity?
I'm not being facetious, I come here because I don't know these answers.
I didn't even realize that Chrome was Linux-based when I made the comment, so this makes this even cooler. And it implies that there's already people in the budget working on securing their machines.
I'm not as smart as most of you slashdotters, but this seems smart in that they can write their own security updates with Linux, as opposed to waiting for Microsoft to fix them.
I was bullied for a long time. I was raised Catholic and I thought that fighting back would be immoral.
Then one day my dad told me "You know, son, sometimes you just have to smack 'em."
It was like I had been wearing a blindfold. I went to school the next day, waited for that prick to mess with me, and I knocked the crap out of him. He was on the ground for a few minutes. No teachers saw it, and it was a shot to the solar plexus, so it left no marks.
I haven't been bullied since. It taught me to not let people push me around, and that's a valuable lesson to learn.

Hilariously, it seems like the purpose of the article is to make us feel safer.
Do you know that your great-grandparents, and their parents, enforced Jim Crow?

What do I buy when I buy a record?

Fuck yeah.
It's too bad that it takes "criminals" to create a network as it should exist.
