The reality is the parent isn't a troll. The person who modded them is. Because they have no fucking clue, what they they're modding about. Rogers, much like the CRTC needs to die in a fire. Preferably screaming, in flames, while bathing in gasoline.
I suggest that they go for a "piss on a rope" design. You can just toss your table on the ground and aim. I mean it's entertaining and just about as useful as the new metro UI.
Yes because we all know that people "outside the ivory towers" are just "uneducated masses" who have no understanding of things like physics, chemistry and biology. With no chance of having taught themselves.
Actually yes. Considering that the slide rule could still do more, and more efficiently. Until the rest of the components catch up, a CPU running in that state is nothing more than a pretty show piece.
Aww. Someone feeling butthurt about the reality of 'natural earth events' causing cooling of the earth? Boo fucking hoo. Remember mod-trolls. -1 flamebait != disagree.
Seriously... what's with all the idiotic hate on this?
Have you used this new "UI" I have. It's terrible. In the default Win7/XP style UI, 1-2 clicks will do what you want. Metro requires no less than 4-6 plus scrolling. Want your basic shortcuts like right-click, properties to various system tools?
Consumer friendly? You mean like my youngest cousin? She's 13. She doesn't like it, her friends don't like it. I believe her and their words were "clunky." My old man has been using computers for nearly 50 years now, words were similar. The fundamental problem with the UI is, is that it takes away the ability to multi task, and degrades the user experience by dumbing it down to the point where you're required to do simple things in a complex way.
Oh and to find an app? Well there's no simple way to do that. It's no less than 4 clicks, then you need 'search' for it.
Bad design, very bad design. Win8 will be shunned by consumers for a very good reason, and it will be shunned by businesses for a very good reason.
The only reason why we 'struggle' for water, at least in some places is because no one wants to build desal plants. This really holds true in places like California. Well whatever, the leftist state full of nimbyists that it is.
I remember that lack thereof summer here in Canada. Rain or clouds, with little to no sun and 12-18C from March to September, then right back to snow. I should note that our usual summer temperatures around here are in the 25-35C range.
Really? The EU doesn't set labor regulations, or various "human right" levels which member countries must abide? It doesn't demand money and funding? It doesn't have elections, and all that good stuff? So it is europe, it is an elected body of europe, and in turn it's a super-national body of europe. Even though not all countries in europe are members. And in turn, those members do not fall under the rules. That super national country can impose harsh terms and conditions against it's neighbors.
Funny. Because the laws of the EU in some instances give super sovereignty to it overriding the nationality and rights of nations to make laws regarding labor. Saying that the "EU is not Europe" is naive.
Europe. 3-4 day work weeks, with high numbers of sick, pa, and vacation days, followed up with a very generous sometimes retirement plan, sometimes with a government supplemented plan which gives a higher income after retirement.
Yeah it's not like we have a shortage of digital distribution systems either. What 8 or 9 of them. If I have to be with one, I'll take steam. Mostly because they've been pretty good on ensuring that things like OBSE/FOSE/FVSE and all that work on their encrypted exe's. Ensuring that you know, games have extended modability. Sadly EA is already a known, fuck everyone over, everywhere, and tell them the like it. While killing off their 'consumed' studios. Origin, Bullfrog, Maxis, etc, and the most recent? Bioware.
Yeah except in tradeschools you actually need to be able to prove your skills to be able to pass. I suggest just shipping them off to be ditch diggers like they were supposed to be.
The difference between Canadian and US is two very different things. In Canada the FEDERAL government has near to 0 involvement in your healthcare unless you're either a native, live in a very remote place(aka resolute), or you're in the military. Each province is responsible for the healthcare in their province. The most that the feds get involved is ensuring that each province has the same basic level of care.
Now if you live in Quebec, you'll probably get more than someone in Ontario. That reason is simple, Quebec gets an ass load of bribe money to stay in the country, thus can spend an ass load more on people for various things. If you live in Alberta you'll probably see the same, because it's a very rich have province with lots of oil. Ontario up until a few years ago the same thing, now you're seeing a decrease in the level of non-basic care because all the money went poof when the manufacturing sector went away.
Now in the rare event that a province can't afford the care, Newfoundland for example you get equalization payments specific to healthcare. We like our healthcare in Canada, in general. But we sure the hell don't don't do single-payer system here. It's group, at the provincial level. I'll tell you this, my American friends you are fucking dense as a brick if you think Obamacare is a good idea. No one at the federal level should ever determine the level of care. The state or province must always determine it, as they're the best suited to know where and what should be built where.
After all...should some nameless bureaucrat decide a hospital gets built? Or should the person in your state? And the same goes for critical care centres and medical treatment. You *should* be up in arms. Remember the Canadian healthcare act at the federal level can fit on 1 sheet of paper.
Now all you need to do is get system builders like acer, hp, sony, etc, to stop piling their crapware in. Or you can build your own. To be honest my PC boots up into a ready state in about 18 seconds after post. A SSD helps a lot with that.
[quote]This works and is how the US got out of the great depression with help from the New Deal and WW2.[/quote] No it didn't. It actually intensified the depression into an even worse event. Before the "new deal" and WWII started the US economy had already started growing again at a non-averaged rate of between 3 and 12% per month. The numbers are there in black and white, all dumping money did was cause the problem to be worse.
You know, like QE1, QE2, lookin' like QE3, and QE4 on the way. You want doom in pill form? This is it.
Of course not. In general politics lags behind technical reality by 20-30 years. So the mindset of the 80's is still at work. As the saying goes, "the wheels of democracy move slowly. But sometimes it's deliberate."
That you even got insightful ratings, shows that people in the american public have been skipping history and haven't read the writings of Martin NiemÃller.
Well in the past with computers, and supercomputers the only way to get around this problem is by using immersion in an inert liquid which can properly draw heat. Plenty of current DIMMs require head spreaders once you cross into PC3-10666, one of the few ways around it is to lower the input voltage, but even then they can get toasty.
I'm using some g.skill eco(1.3v) in my system simply to keep the temperature down but under load those things will still hit around 64C with proper cooling across the spreaders.
Funny. Because that's the exact system that the soviets imposed on the Ukraine. Saying that it hasn't been tried isn't true. The people of the Ukraine "owned" the shares of everything the had, and made, and all that. Then the state simply said, all good jolly show, rolled in, took everything, caused a famine, and locked up the people who couldn't produce the same, or spoke out in a gulag.
But hey, don't let that historical fact kill ya or anything.

None at all. That's what we call elitism.

Except you don't always have lights. And in plenty of places you don't even have basic candle light. This is a pretty show piece, nothing more.
I guess the air india bombing was just an imagery event.

I suppose. Then again we can see what the state of this 'revolution' has gotten. The fast goosestep towards a theocracy.
Yeah well, I directly blame environmentalists of yesteryear for the "nuclear bad" thing. And I blame environmentalists of today for continuing it.
