I remember my old history teacher saying "Old technology becomes obsolete, until someone figures out a better way to kill with it."
Yeah he was right, sure the battleship is obsolete now because of what it was designed for at the time. Surface, and fleet engagement. You can knock a billion dollar ship out of the water with a $400k missile. That doesn't make surface fleets obsolete either. I figure oh 10 years, and you'll see the reintroduction of battleships in long-range bombardment and support. As the use of missiles will become obsolete from surface ships. Easier to shoot down a missile with a laser, than it is to shoot down a metal slug traveling 50x the speed of sound hurtled by a battleship's railgun.
Actually. Most of the schools around here have killed their music programs because it's so expensive to buy sheet music now. There's the odd middle school(and a few highschools and I'm in a city with 5 highschools) with a small program that has a freaking waiting list for kids. But yeah, it's too expensive just for the music. 15 years ago when I was in highschool the most expensive thing was instrument maintenance and we bought all the sheet music back than too.
Nah these bastards are fuckin' us over because they know they can and want a large piece of the pie. And as someone who thinks that kids should have access to music programs, it really does piss me off.
February, you only have to live until February. Cellphone use outside of hands free is illegal in Ontario. However some laws are simply stupid such as the 6m one. In my home town 6m for non-smoking means that you'd be walking down the middle of the street. So a bunch of people did, while smoking. Tell me which is more dangerous?
Sometimes bad laws are simply bad in their design.
Divided attention is a dangerous activity too. In Ontario we have a section of our Highway Traffic Act(HTA) called Careless Driving. Many cops divide this further into two types of charges by the wording. The idiot charge, and the asshole charge. The idiot charge is for the people who are texting, eating a bowl of cereal, putting on their makeup, doing other things like that while floating down the highway at 80mph. The asshole charge part, is that person weaving in and out of 3 lanes of traffic like they own the road.
Personally, we have a section that covers it. But texting has become such a large contributor to accidents here they passed a law banning it along with anything except hands free. Personally, I don't think that's enough.
Crush the thought of dissent before they spill out into the streets. Actually shouldn't be promoting the use of violent video games to keep his citizens under control?
No they just steal it, copy it and go "OOPS" just like the Russians did. Israel on the other hand has a functioning democracy, and pays for everything.
Not a architect or engineer, however I do know that copper and concrete don't mix as mentioned in earlier posts. It will fail, it may take 5 years, it may take 50 years it may take 70 years. The copper pipe running from my oil tank to my furnace is 50 years old and hasn't failed yet but is in concrete. It's "in code" for another year, and has to be inspected yearly, but it fails I have to tear out the concrete and replace the tube.
On top of that, a tube feeder with water into concrete in a northern climate is just a bad idea. Now if this was being dumped +6/8ft through the basement, under the foundation and into the yard. That would be alright. Not only is it away from the foundation, and away from the basement but you can also include a gravel fill in case the tube fails to keep water away from the foundation. That should be enough to keep it in code.
Not really. You can have good cops, and high crime and bad cops and low crime. Neither are comparative. However what is, is the amount of cooperation you get from the average citizen in solving all crimes. The better the police are, and good cops the easier it is to solve crimes.
Unfortunately, lots of Windows software won't run on 64-bit Windows XP. Even Windows Update tells you you have to close the 64-bit WIE so it can run the 32-bit version to fetch the update... how lame. Then half the updates won't install, for reasons that aren't made clear.
You actually don't understand the problem. It's not that 64bit programs don't work, is that 64bit extensions weren't written for that application. That's why they want you to use the 32bit version, because those extensions were written. That's a serious problem on their end, and all the other developers like Sun, Macromedia, and so on. As for updates...my install date is 2/6/06, and I think I've had one issue with one update due to it being in-use by another service, which required a reboot.
Yeah it's not hard, and if you know what you're doing it's a fine OS.
Bill the copper is meant to be an approachable person of the community that everyone knows. You may or may not realize this, but in some countries the Police are still looked at as very strong role models. As someone going into law enforcement(Canadian), I feel kinda ashamed that the UK has gone this far(Yes police reflect on the actions of other police a lot. Don't think they don't), and the police aren't looked as someone you can feel safe around but as someone to fear.
Regardless of this, going from organic to electronic is huge. Not only is there no "person", when you need a person that nearest dispatch may be 10-45mins away. Tell that to some women that's just been raped. GOOD JOB! I hate CCTV and everything it stands for, I realize the original intention and it was sound. It's currently bad, it will remain bad. Want to ensure crimes get solved, ensure public trust, and ensure that you don't seem like you're out of touch with people?
Hire good cops that have empathy, understand the public, and understand they're not there for the quick fix to a problem. But that a problem, may require a long haul, and that as a cop. Your job is to fix them.
They're aiming for douchebag of the week award. To think, it's only Sunday. Amazing how time flies when you're having fun, smiling, singing, and imaging what the world would be like without idiots.
My heart bleeds. Would you care to take offence to offence as well? Or would you like me to use another form of one of the 35 different dialects of English?
Funny that. Is the 1% P2P users, or is the the new breed of people watching video's online? If I remember the last graph that Teksavvy tossed out of their current breakdown of net traffic, people watching streaming media of all types accounted for around 50% of their net traffic.
No. Because the use of the word "Impressively" in that context shows author bias, which means that for whatever little weight this had. Close to none to start with, has none now.
Or are researchers really skimping on data sets these days? 500ish people in one area? Seriously since when did that constitute a valid data set to base an entire population of 330m people on?

So much coal, so little time. We've barely even touched the surface of it.
OH 'EY! Look it's bloatware...sadly the samething is happening to firefox albeit at a much slower pace.
Good stuff, just get a schoolboard to agree to it now. Well one battle down 3000 to go. Whoever said this would be easy right.

What modding your own hardware should be illegal? K! So where's the refund store when you wear out your console?
They haven't figured out that the RIAA/MPAA model doesn't work yet.

See what I did there?
How does blood libel get modded insightful? And I thought common sense was out today, nope...
Yeah too bad we're still 5-10deg. cooler then earths mean temperature for the last 200,000 years. And that is the "global" part.
