Did you miss the days of socket7 when everyone used one socket design, and you could upgrade inline for 2-3 years with no issues. And then there was the slot design. Both AMD and Intel used the same design, except reversed 180. Then there was RAM, you could use various types of 30pin in later designs(as long as it met the voltage requirements) and 72pin again the same deal. The real change when DIMM's first came available but even then they lasted for ages, the only limiting factors were: Had to be same voltage(unless the MB supported variable voltage by pin/DIP switches), and had to be "near or close" to the same NS rating.
Magazines have been on the decline the last 30 years(along with newspapers). And TV has been on the decline since the early 90's when computers became cheap and available. The only people that religiously watch TV for the most part are the older folks, and even most of them are shifting away as they become more tech savvy. An interesting bit about the last sentence, I recently went to a nursing home to fix a computer(only friends/family/fof) and so on now; but nearly every person there either had a netbook, laptop, or PC that they were on and using. The TV room was empty, and the home supplied WAP's locally in the building.
I know in my last law class the only people that watched TV were parents with kids, and some of the others who liked a few rare reality TV shows. Out of 40 people, 4 watched TV religiously. 30 didn't at all, and the other 6 were in between. Those people were aged 18-45.
When the company supplying content is paying part of my bandwidth bill(which I'm already paying my ISP for), then they can dictate what ads I see. Until then, ads go poof.
Let me respond in kind. Your site is not a unique snowflake, ban a person and they can go somewhere else. Anywhere else, and they'll probably drag more people with them out of 'kinship'.
The users make the site, the site doesn't make the users.
In many other cases, not only do you pay for a ISP subscription but some of use are also bandwidth capped at stupidly low levels. I get 60GB a month, in a 4 user household that goes poof pretty quick and that's as much as I can get.
Turkey isn't a religion. His point stands and is true, it went under a reverse reformation going to a more extremist version(being pushed by Saudi Arabia); which has been pushed for the last 120ish odd years as the only pure voice of islam. The other 2 main religions of the trinity however went through their enlightenment phase where people said "this is stupid" and the churches/synagogues agreed.
Parodies are directly protected under fair use. So he can scream and yell about it, but youtube is just proving with an automated system it has no clue.
My other gmail account just got yoinked and I'm in the process of recovering it. This account is just fine atleast right now. I use alphanumerics mixed with upper and lower case. And a unique pass on each account. Something...odd is going on.
Both AMD and Intel used a multiplier lock their SlotA and Slot1 CPU's in order to fill market demands. Skilled hardware hackers figured out how to unlock both CPU's and create unlocked CPU's which operated at a higher speed but were stable. With that, people figured out which batches were a higher end CPU under locked to fill market demand. Saying that bad cores are the reason they're locking them is partially true, the reality is that in most cases locked cores, along with hardware mulitplier locks existed to stop re-silkscreening CPU's and fill market voids for higher demand but lower clocked CPU's.
People buy what fits their budget, the same they did 10-15yrs ago.
It's not something I really bother with anymore (as I've gotten older as long as the computer keeps running I'm happy), but I remember enjoying the whole overclocking scene ~10 years ago and wouldn't begrudge the new cheap teenagers of the same fun I had:).
I know exactly where you're coming from on that. Remembering back in the days of PIII Celery's 266/300's and the mass push for super-overclocking with air cooling. I seem to remember they were the first CPU's to push 1ghz by simply overclocking the bus modifier on the motherboard. Then there was the physical clock unlocking on the chip itself by wiring in bypasses to the SLOT1/SLOTA cards, then there was the push for variable modifiers for the FSB/PCI on the BX boards to make it easier. I actually kinda miss that type of hard hacking, where you actually cracked open a physical case and started soldering and wiring in resistors/transistors and 24 gauge wires, and breaking on board connections in the tracing.
I just don't have the time for it now. But I wouldn't want to take that away from kids either, you're looking at your next generation of hardware hackers when they get into it.
You do realize that once ss.emu was put to the public that the release war was already over for the major groups. That's why you'll not see a scene release over it.
I'm in my 30's and get the paper around here for just that. Because you do lose touch with friends. In the last 2 years I've had 3 friends die from cancer and one commit suicide. All good friends that I went to school with, it's not just the grey hair folks but those of us who have strong community ties. If I walked downtown, nearly every shopkeeper would greet me by name.
As well, the costs of these things are...insane. My grandfather who was rather well known in the community died 2 years ago. To run his obituary in 3 of the local/nearby community papers ran around $800.
Yeah but me committing mass murder with a tactical nuke in FO3 is perfectly OKAY! I'll be over here, beating my head against the door frame. Maybe when I pass out and wake up, things will make sense. Or I'll be brain damaged...I think that's win-win!
Ignoring the part about amnesty(their bias makes your point useless). And no police aren't more likely to use non-lethal because the BoP is lower. They get used more because people start whining when cops have to fire 18 rounds to drop someone(you know that whole 5-7% hit rate while moving sucks, or 20% standing still). But, I can kill you in 1-2 hits with my bare hands. I can kill you in 1 hit with an asp, and I can cause your death with pepper spray. Remember now. That it was the squishy feely types that wanted less-lethal weapons in the first place. People committing offences are also more often then not on something(drugs or alcohol), firearms have always been the second last line.
Well regardless of what people think, despite that crime has generally been sliding down. But been spiking like crazy the last year or so because of the shitty economy, people being 'violent' has been going up. As a cop you're more likely to have a gun/knife/other weapon pulled on you then in the last 20 years. Even veterans I know have seen the increase in people being violent, and it is related to drug use. And no I'm not talking about the pot-smoking hippies. But your meth/dope/tranq users.
In a sane country, your peace officers are armed. Because they're the last line of defence between the good guy and the bad guy. I suppose I should be happy, the chances of you being in anything law enforcement related are between slim and none, and you've got no idea what actually goes on in the world of policing.
The Globe and Mail has done nothing but slide downhill for the last year and slowly becoming a Toronto Star Lite. So don't be surprised that the comments reflect that. As well, you can write slander/libel in Canada generally but not all the time. But then again our free speech laws aren't really very free either.
Well I thought it was CPU bites man. Everyone knows that unless the CPU Blood God gets his fill when you're doing an upgrade, you're going to have problems.
Actually my mother, grandmother and great aunt all use their VCR still. They don't want anything else, two of the three of them are also pensioners. While my grandmother is tech savvy enough to use a computer, and well(including knowing where to find TV shows to watch them streamed), I can't get either one of the others to do the same. It's still viable for people in the boomer/pre-boomer age group.
Slashdot Mirror
He's a bit busy screwing 9yr old girls right now, I called the cops but they refused because of the "M" word.
Non-contextual. But don't worry, I've been insulted by more intelligent people who have no real world understanding. Just like you.

Yeah, like magazines and television.

It's cracked, there's full client side server emulation available for it.

To have a work ethic you need two things. Jobs which are available, and some form of job stability. Job stability went poof 10-15yrs ago.

Terrible "test" is terrible. If you're forced to accept one or the other when there's no nil option you're loading the test.

Drink your Ovaltine.
Well I thought it was CPU bites man. Everyone knows that unless the CPU Blood God gets his fill when you're doing an upgrade, you're going to have problems.
I think you mean teachers and the parks service.
Not around here. Teachers go last, park services are about middle of the road.
Waiwai was great. Sadly the hubbub over what happened killed their best section.
Actually my mother, grandmother and great aunt all use their VCR still. They don't want anything else, two of the three of them are also pensioners.
