That's odd. I seem to remember rather heated...oh discussions not all that long ago about this. And people keep saying that the sun has a negligible impact on the earths temperature? Especially in relation to Co2 levels. Especially with past relations to sunspot activity. And yet, this study came out the other day.
How about we put a chip in the car that automatically finds where the car is via GPS and will throttle the engine so it can't break the speed limit?
They already have limiters on cars. Most cars these days can exceed their speedometers for example, heck, most can't exceed 180km/h in some places. Some are higher, but here in Ontario, they already force trucks(semi's) to have a limiter so they can't go more than 105km/h. But I'll tell you what this leads to. Nothing good. Gigantic blocks of traffic on the highway.
This is what you get when you base your life on what you imagine your invisble friend in the sky wants you to do.
No. This is what you get when you have a religion that hasn't had a reformation, and believe that their religion is "true and untainted" and anyone who changes it should be put to death over it. Remember, Christianity and Judaism have both had such. In turn, after the reformations 400+ years ago, the world became a better place especially after the big push of the enlightenment period.
No reformation, no enlightenment period. Religion was still an important part of everything in the day-to-day workings of the people in the enlightenment period. Perhaps even more so than it was before. It was the ability to question, argue, dissent that changed everything.
Microsoft, can you please hash this data to protect peoples privacy and still serve your otherwise legitimate needs?
Oddly enough, in a lot of places this is illegal even if you're a customer. Canada it's illegal unless it's spelled out directly, clearly and cleanly in any agreement and in a separate privacy agreement stating what they're doing. Found doing so afterwards is considered a breech of the privacy act. In turn, most of the EU it's the same deal.
Well...that sounds like fun. But let's turn it back there on the guy shall we? Should scientists be sued for faulty peer review data, and in turn bad science. I think he'd shutup on the idea very quickly then.
Start8 works on my MSDN copy, but I haven't screwed around with the registry crap yet. Every time I go to start messing around with it, I start screaming in horror and run right back to Win7.
pc games will never get back where they used to be. Why spend $2k on a pc rig, in order to play a game that I can play for free on craplive?
Dear *craplive* turfer, you don't need a $2k rig to play PC games. You can today built an excellent PC gaming rig for around $400. Do you know why? Because consoles have been holding back PC's for the last 7 years. Thanks consoles.
It's an exercise in frustation without a doubt. It takes about 8 times as long to do anything you'd normally do to get to the guts of anything. But if you want to do anything normal, it's about twice as fast. They got some stuff right, they got a lot of stuff wrong. I figure windows 9 will probably get it right. Much like Win7 fixed Vista.
Your point has no basis in reality. You can't name a single christian country, or country which is founded around the judeo-christian ethical code of laws that has this. But I can name 5 off the top of my head which are muslim. In fact, the most recent case of this happening was in Morocco.
Worldwide scrounging for the cheapest labor, juciest tax breaks, and laxest regulations for them, region coding and 'grey market' for you.
Low friction international capital markets for them, border and immigrations controls for you.
The vast majority if this isn't free trade. There are taxes, levies, and other things that have been applied. NAFTA, isn't free trade either. Trade pacts between Canada/US and Asian countries again, aren't free trade. Those are all fair trade.
In general, the only places where we see free trade, are between states and provinces in Canada and the US, and between several countries in the EU. Or within various provinces inside countries in the EU. And there's a huge difference between free trade, and fair trade. Free trade as a whole, would make the world a better place.
The victim of rape should not be punished. And being forced to birth the child of your rapist is an unimaginably cruel punishment that wouldn't even be fit for a convicted criminal.
Better let the muslim world know. There are parts where the rapist can get off the crime if they marry the person they rape. Though in most cases the girl simply commits suicide.
Marxism is also a political system, and so is leninism. Both are also financial systems, despite what flappy headed professors like to spout off about.
Okay. So...apparently you can't either. Grafting isn't natural either, it's why a plant fights so hard against it. Ever try grafting a rose and a pine tree together? No? It's almost impossible.
Honestly? I'd say it's almost 100% no, unless you're one of those few individuals who works on a 36hr clock. I have a bunch of friends who are peace officers here in Canada. Their average shift is 4 on 3 off. AKA 12-16hr days. With 3 off. Sometimes it's worse because you're always on call. It eats at you, and hard. I know a lot of police depts., in the use like to use this too. There's worse shifts, including 5/2/4/4. Where you're working 12hr in the 5, then 16-18 in the 4 days with 4 days off.
I'll be perfectly honest, if you don't think that doesn't eat into the mental stability of someone, you're really wrong. One of m best friends, who was straight as an arrow became a stumbling mumbling drunk fuck because of it. The GF lasted a year on a 5/2/4/4 shift before she had a mental break and tried to kill her self over the stress induced from work and the shifts. Sure they give you psychiatrists, but these shifts eat the hell right out of your mind. Especially in that line of work.
So, after reading the article this can be summarized as "Microsoft gives you one more reason to disable Windows Defender and use a third party AV app."
Really? No...REALLY? Because I don't know of another AV product that doesn't do exactly the same thing, if doesn't include some type of malware protection inside of it as well. And nearly all of them do, to me this just seems like the usual "let's all jump on the bash MS train" for something that other AV vendors were doing 5 years ago.
but anyone know of a human-made building that is 150.000 years old and still intact? Didn't think so. Even mountains go and come over that period of time.
Man, I don't know about you, but we've got this thing up in Canada called the Canadian Shield the rocks there are the oldest on the planet and the most geologically stable on the planet. Still in tact? Oh yeah, without a doubt. 3.5-4.8 billion years old in tact last time they figured it out. We still do get the rare earthquake, but they're minor. Usually under a 4.0
No one completes a RPG in a day. The real problem are the CoD/BF kiddies who buy the crap for their action games. Developers and publishers have seen this as a "OMG MONIES" mechanism and believe it will translate over into PC gaming, to a point it has, and to a point it hasn't. Plenty of gamers have said fuck you, plenty like me who play in ladder tournaments(Shogun 2) don't have much of a choice, if we want to keep up with other people. But I just wait until there's a sale on that stuff, I'll buy DLC, if it's cheap. But I won't pay $4.99. $0.99 sure.
- Mass media is a government's pet. They either lie or hide facts. There are a few exceptions. This is the beginning of a disease.
Here, I fixed that for you.
The NYT is bad, actually it's terrible in terms of "not lying" hiding facts? You can't get much worse than MSNBC, ABC, CNN or CBS, they're worse than Fox despite what the liberal left thinks. Those exceptions? They're the citizen bloggers who report both sides of the story, but have their stories stolen by the media without credit, where it's simply dissected down and presented with one view. There's a very good reason, why CNN's levels are at 1985 levels. And why the rest outside of Fox are plummeting. Fox for most people, are as close to centrist as they see from the 80's and 90's, and in turn their ratings continue to increase from it.
If Windows 8 has a negative reaction among users due to how much they screwed up the UI formerly known as Metro, that won't stay contained.
That's a good point, but there is something else to think about too. There's a whole bastion of dumb computer users out there. The average/. user isn't a dumb user, well mostly. The majority of us were here when CLI was the only game in town(some were here back in the punch card days), and we had to load programs the old fashioned way, we had to use cfg files, batch files, and get down into the gritty goodness. And heck, some of us still do in our 'nix and bsd boxes.
Those dumb users though? You know, the ones that want simple. Yeah them...this is right up their alley. And unlike us, they're the majority. We're gonna hate it, I hate it with a passion. What MS should have done was include two UI's, a classic shell, and the metro shell. Everyone would have been happy, and I bet there would have been widespread adoption as well.
Well I'm off to grab my MSDN copy, and beat my head against a wall. So, if you hear blood curdling screaming from somewhere in Southern Ontario that shatters windows. That's probably me.
Pretty sure that it's not binding in California. I seem to remember that California amended their consumer protection act to get around the arbitration thing. Though, to a point class action for such a small amount of money are useless. Small claims are better, you'll almost certainly get the full amount of the money back. And you'll recoup the filing costs as well. You don't need a lawyer, you can present all the information yourself to the judge. And on the upside, if they don't show, it's an automatic summery judgement against them. Chances are though if you file, they'll settle right away, simply to avoid court.
Here in Maine, the Mosquito's will drain your blood long before the West Nile Virus can do any damage. It's been an unusually humid, and wet summer.
Pft. You've never been to Canada I take it. Here in Canada, black flies are the size of small dogs, and will carry of small children to use for their meals. And mosquito's are about half as big. If you get up near Algonquin National Park, sometimes you can hear the screams of deer, and moose. That's the sound of the mosquito's sucking them dry in one go.

Only counts if you hire bully boys to kidnap dogs and cats, and electrocute them with AC current in front of Tesla's museum.
Welcome to Canada. They've been doing that to us here for decades, now you know exactly what it's like. And you get all the fringe benefits too.
