Wait a tick, the Taliban executed people in the soccer stadiums for you know, not having a sufficiently long enough beard, or for women not being with a proper male relative. Doesn't that fit the definition of terrorism?
What's that make groups like oh Hamas or Hizbullah anyway? Just names or are they actual terrorist groups too. After all they both fit your definition of terrorism pretty well. Not only that, but they pay people very well, and their families of people who strap explosives on themselves to kill large numbers of people.
Yeah something similar also happened in Russia and China too. Last time I looked the body count was ~250 million dead in their own purges removing "undesirables" and I'm sure that worked out well for them as well. Here's the thing a lot of people forget, Islam isn't just a religion. It's a military, and political doctrine as well. Not to mention a few other things.
And in countries where ruling parties have it as the forefront in, and of, the law of the land. People suffer, and those that suffer the most are minorities, women, and anyone who isn't a muslim.
You mean like the arab spring in egypt? Yeah, looks like that one is only going to put womens rights back a few hundred years. Cheer it on man, cheer it on.
DoB is included because in Canada, we use government photo ID as a requirement to be allowed to vote. Your ID has to match, and in turn your name, address and DoB has to match the registar book. No matchy, no vote.
In Canada we pretty much do everything by pencil and paper. What this is though is the register of voters of who's eligible to vote by district. There are places where you can vote by electronic machine, but most people don't use them, they don't like them. It's pretty simple and straight forward.
How it works is like this: In Canada when you file your taxes, you get the option of allowing Revenue Canada to send your personal information(DOB, name and address) to Elections Canada and in the regional office for Elections Canada for the voting registry. This is then used to compile the voter registration database. You can refuse, there's no problem with that. You just show up on election day and they update the register then. You'll have to show Government issued photo id, and two bills within the last 30 days that have your name and address on it. Then you can vote. Also, if you vote, you must show photo ID. This Photo ID is matched with the registar book.
If you move, your name appears on the original registar still. But you can vote in your new district. The new district will often call your old district to have your name removed before allowing you to vote at your new one. Honestly, and to the point, I can't figure out what the big hoopla in the US is about over voter ID is anyway. But maybe that's besides the point.
You know, I kept hearing that every version of MS's "anti-piracy" measures for Vista, and Win7 were uncrackable too. Seemed to me that every version was cracked like a egg being dropped from a 12 story building, some were elegant cracks, some were brute forced like being smashed with a hammer. UEFI? I expect the same thing, I do. It may take time, but it will come. Persistence is the key.
Independently owned stores pay better and treat their employees better than walmart.
Crock of shit. Let me repeat that, crock of lying shit. First, I've worked at a walmart about 9 years ago. One of the first to open in Southern Ontario after they bought out Woolco I was treated better, and paid nearly $6/hr more than min. wage. Second, the quality of the management vastly improved. Especially after the corporate office went through and cleaned house. This has apparently held true, as a buddy of mine is working at the same store(which is now a super centre) and still paying $6/hr more than min. wage.
His other job, well he works at a gas station. He makes around $1/hr over min. wage. His employer like many others up here treats him like dirt, there's no other work options available either, as no one else is hiring. The biggest whiners seem to be the angsty teenagers who don't show up for their shifts, and then wonder why they don't get any hours. Well..duh, they're not reliable.
Only because Walmart has used its size to drive independent competitors out of the market.
I keep hearing that, but funny enough independent competitors around here in this city of ~40k seem to be doing just fine. Even the small businesses, in fact if anything, they seem to be doing more business now than they did 10 years ago. As the walmart has brought more business in from outlying areas. Other cities seem to be "suffering" the same fate up here, they're busier now than before. One can only hope Target does the same thing.
Some things you're forgetting: More heat island effects. The records being broken are localized. There are plenty of places that are way below seasonal still. Less stations actually monitoring today, then 50 years ago. And so on, and so forth.
Heck my town doesn't even have a station that monitors anymore. All weather data is from 50km away, and that's for "official" records as well. Ahhaha...yeah.
Microsoft has been pouring money onto everything until they monopolize it. It worked really well and annihilated a lot of competitors by the way.
Hey good for them. Welcome to capitalism, here's an idea. If you don't like it, start your own company and become a competitor. It does still seem to work. So I'm not really sure what you're post is about.
Oops indeed. There's nothing quite like a long detetention with torture to make someone lose it completely.
I guess you missed the point where he'd already been picked up previously before the fact with a suicide vest and $50k on him. Oh well, and that was well before hand. Just keep a spinning. I'm sure you can dig your way out of that one.
Did you hear the news today? The guy who blew up that bus full of Israeli's yesterday in Burgas, was apparently a former Gitmo resident, who was sent back to Sweden. He was originally picked up in Afghanistan. Oops. To be fair, the government officials related to the case have refused to comment on this. And as a note, there are several dozen stories on this as well besides the one on RT. I'm just too lazy to link to something else, or something non-english. The Bulgarian media were the ones to release the information.
It's considered a prosthetic. And an experimental technology all rolled into one, as such, a "doctors note" would cover both. And explain why, what it is, what it does, why it can't be removed, and so on. Much like the way some other types of experimental prosthetics can't be removed. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll figure out the rest on your own.
Yeah, I just had to make sure here on that one. Open office... 27.3MB of ram in use with my largest technical letter open, which is 173 pages long. Okay there MS, you guys are insane.
I remember when it was laughed at for even being called "The start menu"
Considering the predecessor was "the tile set" and before that we had CLI? Yeah, the start menu was pretty much loved by most unless you needed a CLI, and in which case you could get around pretty easily anyway.
The performance is better. But it *is* another vista or ME, you can say anything else you want, but when it takes more time to do simple tasks, that you can already complete using the start menu, then you've screwed up your UI design. That's exactly what's happened with the metro UI. I've noticed a very large push recently to try to dissuade this tech blogs, smells like paid astroturfing though.
So really if you're going to use this on a PC, like I'm going to end up having to. Either get used to keyboard shortcuts(if you don't use them already), grab stardock's replacement UI, nuke your PC from orbit(just to be sure) and blame MS, or tell your boss you need a 27" touchscreen monitor. Hey, why not milk it?
As you pointed out with your other comment to me, funny huh? How odd the/. crowd will happily blast oh say religious groups for the same thing. But if it has anything with the hallowed halls of academia...nay, nay. They are hallowed! Thou shalt not speak of it.
Oh I'm sure Paterno and Sandusky are just upstanding guys. Nothing wrong there, I mean it's not like they didn't lie, diddle kids and boys in the locker room, or anything else nafarious. Now move along. And Mann? Move along, NOTHING TO SEE HERE ON ANY OF IT!.
Yeah just don't forget S.1 of the Charter. 1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.
Always puts a damper on stuff, it can be good or it can be bad. Though it's always the courts that ends up being the counter to the government as we see in cases like this. I said oh 3 months back that this is what would happen, and it did. The system does work and fairly well. It's better when founding documents aren't considering "living and breathing" but rather foundational. It stops people from going: "but the framers said "X" which is half the problem in the US and the supreme court. It's better when laws are written to the language of the foundation, and the courts and government are bound to the strictest terms of the foundation itself.
Oh I'm not surprised. But I think the author of the music should sue them for oh...what's the going rate these days? $250k/infringement? Man that's going to be a lot of cases per DVD isn't it? Oh and I bet it's on Bluray, and digital distribution too.
Man, this guy is going to be rolling in so much money that that he could bankrupt them...wait just a tick. Everyone support this guy, quick!
Slashdot Mirror
I thought it was pathping and tracert. Safe for another day.
Neither is the Taliban.

Hey that sounds a lot like my booze. I always like swill liquor.

Population of 40,000 is a city?
Yeah. What did you think, 40k people is a hamlet?
Why would you include date of birth?

Yeah. Leave it to the typical MS hate by people here on /. to go apeshit over stuff like this. The story should be modded +1 flamebait.
Send these terrorist supporters to Gitmo!!
-Typical conservative
So...

Somewhere between 640k and hell.

Rice is pretty tiny, you're not even covering 30% of the spreader to heatsink. Tell me, how's that working out for you in terms of thermal efficiency?
