Shouldn't it be easy to have two xorg.conf's: one for the integrated graphics and one for the discrete card? You could start the discrete xorg.conf when you want to run a game and the integrated one when you don't. Maybe (I'm not a guru by very far, so I'm going on a limb here) you could even have them running on different tty's and switch semi-on the fly. Would the discrete be shut down if you are on the integrated tty? Some explanation: I reserved some space on my nettop with ION2. Some day I might want to run Suse on it. It'd be great to have the ION working properly (always on the discrete gpu would be good enough). Now I am using W7 Professional happily (exept for the f^&*)^&%(%king jumping around of Winamp. The que dropped from the screen again last night).

Since this information is brought to me by a machine I am disinclined to believe it. You are just trying to get all the geeks there to destroy us with the first nuclear balst so no-one can write new viruses for you!
That's not required. They may simply have seen an opportunity to save money and took it. As long as they don't save on story (haven't got sound at work, so I can't hear whether they did that.) I am cool with that.
How telling is it of my very selective media input that I parsed that as "God hates fangs"?
Then again I do not watch American internal affairs as much as most Americans (even the average). I am European, so the external affairs matter more to me.
True. But I think that's evolution at work. In my defense, I said:
Of course, you wouldn't want to be near it to switch it on. The radiation would probably mess with your cells.
Which is an understatement, but a warning nonetheless. Your description of what may happen with your eyes is more descriptive, assuming the casual reader knows what a cornea is. For junior tinkerer I'd like to advise a Lego Mindstorms set. Not as cheap, but even more fun.
Most people I know have a +/- 1KW Wifi jammer. Since it works at about the frequency of a microwave oven you could dismantle one and not only jam a 1 to 2 km radius (guess), but also destroy them in a 200 meter radius (guess aswell). You could even mount it on a parabolic reflector and aim it properly for more range. Of course, you wouldn't want to be near it to switch it on. The radiation would probably mess with your cells.
If we are quoting films: Look at Resident Evil. The AI decided to kill everyone because letting them leave the Hive with the T-virus would mean the destruction of mankind. Of course, once the silly humans noticed she killed everyone they thought she had gone homicidal without just cause. The next films in the franchise indicate the intelligence of that move. What I am trying to say is this: some decisions should be made without emotions.
I have had some speed tickets because the road was designed for 80 km/h, but at the beginning there was a sign saying I could only drive 50. I didn't see that sign. I would call that accidental.
Glass reflects IR quite effectively. See Mythbusters ep 59 (Season 4 (2006) ep 17). They were trying to circumvent an IR motion detector and had an IR camera to see whether Tory would be detected. Somewhere a glass plane was carried between the camera and Tory. The IR image did not show Tory, but the camera man.
No. We need a "smart grid". Let power prices fluctuate with supply. Tell the appliances (over the internet) what the current price is. Let heavy power use appliances like the battery in electric cars, the fridge, the airco and the electric boiler switch on at a pre set price (settable by the user) or make a simple schedule: "Charge my car preferably when the price is below 0.05 ct/ KWH, but make damn sure the car is charged when I want to go to work in the morning". This would let the demand follow the supply.
It's not the mammary glands. The magnitude and shape are determined by the fat reserves under the mammary glands and the muscle underneath that. The mammary glands have approximately the same magnitude in all women (except for pregnant women).
But that's more because trolling is required in this thread. My real opinion: You, sir, have made my day with that post. I could be having an castration with a bunt chainsaw and no anesthesia and I would still be happy for I have read your post.
On the streets gay WAS happy/flamboyant (a long long time ago). Because the most visual homosexuals are flamboyant (to the extreme) it changed to homosexual. No I disagree with the both of you, because the GP sees it as "transformed to disagreeable" which I do not recognise.
The thing with specialization is that this becomes untrue. As more and more knowledge is created and researched it becomes increasingly impossible to know everything. I assume you are a programmer. Do you know the function of every component your motherboards use? Do you know the way is does that? Up to the quantum level? Probably not. And there is no reason to. So this means you don't fully understand the technology either. You don't have to. As long as you know good programming practices and the API's your software has to communicate with (and probably a shitload of things I am forgetting) you can create programs. A 15 year old girl doesn't need to understand the technology. She can use it without that knowledge. Having said that, I do agree that more kids should learn the importance of back-ups. As the poster of the article is a Slashdot reader he should have taught her already.

Why do you feel that way about the people that modded you down?
No. This is one for evolution: The vikings would have killed the ugly ones in the summer, giving them a serious disadvantage for procreating.
The irrevocable removal of the reply all button isn't one of them.

I thought the three strikes law was frowned upon here?

If you start by cutting the ethernet cable it can't cry out for help.
It's terribly inefficient. At least use SD cards.

The oversell percentage would help, but that's not something they would like to tell you.
I am glad it was only a hypothetical situation, because I left my camera at home.

mammary glands within his near vicinity?
