The charcoal filter would be good to use *after* you sanitized the water with chlorine bleach. Kill off the biologicals and then get rid of the chlorine taste.
"Boosted conversion rates" means "more sales of the advertised products". So yes, "people" do like the targeted ads, because they respond favorably to them.
I disagree with the politics of AGW fanatics, so I must be a paid shill of the oil companies, or maybe it's the coal companies. I disagree with the politics of left-wing lunatics so I must be a paid shill of the Republican party.
ANY machine can be hacked if you can get at the system board or an open console, and if you have enough time.
The thing about the slots is that they watch them pretty closely. If it looks like you're using a tool on a slot machine, well, I wouldn't want to be you.
Congress can, of course, change the law, but beware of what you wish for, because Congress is much more influenced by those eeeevil corporate lobbyists than they are by utopian platitudes.
I do not believe that the rest of the world is better off for being more heavily regulated than the US, nor do I believe that it is even remotely possible to prevent politicians from being bought and sold.
Because regulators are all angels of benevolence who could never be suspected of colluding with powerful and influential industries which contribute to equally powerful and influential politicians?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide-field_Infrared_Survey_Explorer...The WISE group's bid for continued funding for an extended "warm mission" was recently scored low by a NASA review board, in part because of a lack of outside groups publishing on WISE Data. Such a mission would have allowed use of the 3.4 and 4.6 micron detectors after the last of cryo-coolant had been exhausted, with the goal of completing a second sky survey to detect additional objects and obtain parallax data on putative brown dwarf stars.
This is the same maneuver that was used to pass ObamaCare. They took a House bill regarding tax breaks for service members and replaced the entire text.
So now it's not just the government-created network, it's all those other developers and experimenters and the whole open-source community as well. Thanks.
And how many of those developers who contributed to open source projects were supported by corporations who also benefited from the results of those projects?
And oh, by the way, AOL was what you got from private enterprise (except just as expensive, not more so, and just as fun for a lot of people who weren't obsessive geeks like us), as well as Compuserve, and Genie and all those interesting little BBS'es like Rusty and Edie's, who at least in the late '80s were charging a fee too.
Unless you're accessing the Internet from some government office, you're not using a "government-created information network". You're using one that was created by private enterprise. And if you *are* using a government network, why are you wasting taxpayer money by accessing slashdot?
So it didn't cost the ISP anything for those rights-of-way, and it doesn't cost a dime to lay cables? And there isn't any sort of contract between the ISP and the government as to the terms of use of said right-of-way? But of course, the government can just arbitrarily declare that contract (not to mention any contract between the ISP and its customers) null and void and dictate new terms any time they think it'll please enough voters, right?

Might be worth it for a trucker on a tight deadline versus paying a penalty for late delivery.

You can count on AT&T (and the RIAA, among others) having more influence with regulators than any utopian ideal about "neutrality".

Seems to me that a three-way SLI Nvidia config running CUDA would be hard to beat.
It's much easier to blame "industry" and call for more costly government regulation than it is to check both ends of a piece of plastic tubing?

That room doesn't exist in any government building.
The key phrase here is "...that easy".

I am shocked. Truly, deeply shocked.
Not that the RIAA would try this, but that anybody here is surprised.
It couldn't be that China has five times the number of people and works them like slaves for wages that American unions would have heart attacks over?
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 makes a distinction in law between internet providers and telecommunications services.

You can fit a water-cooling pump and controller system in a 5.25" drive bay.
Yeah, that's some real practical shit.
By analogy to healthcare, since the government is paying, that means that you are now a slave of whatever bureaucrat decides to tell you what to do.
