it was a great idea to start building homes on swamp land?
This doesn't have anything to do with swampland really, rather it has to with the limestone that makes up the base of Florida. Same with really anywhere there's limestone, Ontario, Michigan, parts of Quebec, large swaths of the NE US. Some places are more stable than others and don't have to worry about it. And there's no much you can do in some cases, and while the limestone is thick where I live several hundred feet there have been huge sink holes.
I don't know what SSDs you've been using, but I've never picked up an SSD (OCZ Vertex 2/3, Intel X25-M/320/330/335/510/520) that didn't feel light and sound nearly hollow.
Consumer drives are usually lightweight, they don't need the extra cooling. Enterprise drives depending on who they're made by and what they're for can have heatspreaders or heatsinks within, or attached to each chip adding to the weight.
Bingo. This bill will get the same amount of public outcry as the previous ones. And considering I can't even connect to the Government of Canada website right now, I'd say that it's already begun. Even at that, the SCC does have a long history of slapping down laws like this when they go against the interest of Canadians.
Actually it was more of a sales nightmare. Go look over their SEC filings numbers, and you'll see that their PC division had lost nearly 55% of it's business right up until last year when they decided to scrap it.
You have to remember that some courts really are not concerned with guilt or innocence-- if you are appealing a ruling due to a procedural problems, I believe that claiming "but im innocent" will not help as the appeals court doesnt care.
True, the courts really don't care about guilt or innocence on an appeals based on procedural issues. What should bother everyone is that he's being denied disclosure of evidence to which the crown has made their case. NZ law and Canuck law are very similar, in both cases the crown must offer full disclosure of evidence when the accused is brought before the judge *insert various reasons* and basically declares innocence on summery or indictable offences. Full disclosure of course is all the evidence so the individual can properly grant themselves a fair defense based upon the evidence.
In turn NZ like Canada has a similar procedural rule for bringing the justice system into disrepute(BAJD-canuck term) by action--this is is an exclusionary evidence rule. Both the crown, judges, peace officers, and other government officials that ordered the original raid, have enacted. If he was tried there, nearly all the evidence against him would be thrown out.
I've been boycotting all the games with DRM and DLC for over a decade and it hasn't done shit.
Odd, seemed to work just fine with Ubisoft. Since they were really the first big target of PC gamers and their "always on" DRM solution, I'd say it does work.
We used to do this with Commodore 64 floppies in high school back in the day...
Might sound funny, but we'd do this with vic20's on cassette tapes. Then again, BASIC being what it is, you can also just write things out on a sheet of paper or several dozen of them and hand them off to someone.
You've just explained where bubbles come from and the parent just explained what happens when a business' growth stabilizes and how those bubbles burst. It's a recipe for disaster either way you look at it.
Well it doesn't help when the feds are pumping the market to make it look so happy and rosy either does it? If the feds weren't correcting, the market wouldn't be as bullish.
And Torvalds tears his head off for it. He thinks everything has to be a big heroic stand--with him as hero, of course.
This is pretty much standard of anything, that anyone creates and believes they should have final say over anything they create whether or not it's 'open to the public' or not. Or for the new/. crowd, this is your artist thrown a drama queen fit.
Yes. Fewer than among the muslims, but there sure are *some*. Breivik ring a bell ?
Hey...congratulations, you managed to find one person in the last 10 years, compared to the 20k odd terrorist attacks by muslims alone! Boy that's sure some ratio, you a betting man because I already like those odds.
These few loud attention seekers do not represent Islam...
Your comment might hold merit if Westboro was blowing people up, or they were forcing their young girls into FGM, or there was a substantially large number of them involved in grooming one particular race of girls for sex exploitation, or in some countries nearly all rapes are being committed by one group. Or they were threatening women who stood up for themselves, or even rose to positions of power. But none of that really holds any water does it, even when you expand outside of westboro at large.
Why do people cling to the perception that committing a clearly illegal act is somehow/sometimes justified for some reason?
Short answer? Sometimes a single person committing a single illegal act, and 'saving face' for someone else. Is better in the long run than an issue existing and 300 people using the same breach a few months down the road. There are reasonable expectation in case law at least in my country on such things. Both in things relating to physical property, and to computer crime.
If you broke into my house to stop someone from stealing my things and in turn ran your fingers through my dainty things while in the progress of stopping the commission of a crime, well we have something completely different right? In turn, someone who finds a security hole and not profiting, and disclosing privately that the issue exists should be lauded. Those that do disclose shouldn't be.
Considering anyone with 3 firing neurons already blocks advertising to begin with, this is pretty much moot. The reality is advertisers have been abusing cookies for decades, the worst of advertisers have been abusing advertising itself, and allowing malware into their networks and taking a 'cut' of the scam.
Personally? Until advertisers man up, and stop acting like the guy standing on the corner of a shady neighborhood going "hey, wanna buy some shit..." they can simply suck it.
I don't think you understand how a futures contract works (or you're just wildly speculating).
Assuming, only makes the worst things in life possible. It's always a good idea to realize that some people were supposed to grow up and take up farming and didn't. Though sometimes I wish I had.
Why not? Right now you're looking at nearly a 35% gain if you were being paid now in corn future and selling them in 4 months. That's a hell of a turn around, that even beats the most aggressive and risky stock trading you can get the down and dirty in.
Doesn't each Chrome tab run in a separate process, i.e. say each tab addresses 2GB, if you're have 8 tabs open you're maxing out your 16GB workstation??
Yes, each tab runs in a seperate process. Hell I can't even max out what I have with 8GB on my home machine, or my work machine sitting beside me with 32GB. It simply dumps the tab that's not being used to the pagefile, and with the pagefile on a SSD if I switch to it, I can't notice that there's even a difference in access time.
Though 64bit binaries would be nice, though we won't see that happening until OS's start to abandon 32bit like they did 8bit and 16bit.
The problem isn't mismanagement. It's lack of management.
No, you're wrong. In China it's not the lack of management it's corruption. Corruption so rampant that if you have enough money, anything can happen, and as long as not too many people are killed even the central planners in Beijing will look the other way as long as everyone gets their cut and someone else can take the fall, and you continue to pump money in.
People like to decry the corruption in the west here, it's got nothing on China. It's the way you do business there, or you won't do business.
... at the possible expense of thousands of kilometers of natural water resources.
And we have someone sucking right at the talking points of whatever they want. Useful tip, there are so many pipelines crossing that aquifer now, and some of them are nearly 50 years old. More personal research vs reading what someone tells you would do you good.
Never mind that it's cheaper to refine crude when it's nearby compared to shipping it across the Atlantic. And safer, or that we have a larger strategic oil reserve than unfriendly countries you buy from now. Yep, full on smrt with that one.
Access to natural gas in Russia? Not access to natural gas within EU borders? That is hardly comparable to the quantities of natural gas that the US has within its US borders.
How's those lack of drilling permits, and cockblocking of things like Keystone XL working out for you guys these days anyway? Oh right...enjoy those soaring energy prices.
You realize that a decade ago, europe had access to cheap CNG too. And now it doesn't. And many places in Europe also have restrictions on wood burning as well, and it's now gotten to the point where local governments are no longer enforcing laws on it because the options are 'let people freeze to death' or 'let them illegally cut wood.' Just keep those ideas right going along, never mind that there's a million people in Germany that can't afford electricity because of green energy projects either. Or that people in Greece are clear cutting forests for basic fuel so they can keep warm, and cook dinner now.

seriously where did you shop? rodeo drive? typical cassette prices never topped $12 at the peak. even CDs never topped $18 for first week releases
How about Canada.
I agree, I hope it shows up in steam too which uses a similar kit for it's in-game web browser.
