It totally depends how often you wear the glasses. I wear contacts 5 days of the week and on weekends I wear glasses, but it always takes me a whole day to get accustomed to it and I'm still constantly a little dizzy while wearing them... its awful.
This is stupid. App store? Who cares. Steam wouldn't start selling games on the Windows 8 app store anyway because, guess what, STEAM IS AN APP STORE. It's their entire business model. From a user stand point for gaming there is absolutely no difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8, except that Windows 8 will perform better. No new games are going to be "metro games" and want to go in the app store anyway unless they're intended to be multi-platform and in that case that just means Steam needs to make a metro app of itself to do game installations with.
If the drone strike won't work, he can be imprisoned indefinitely without trial. Considering his war crimes and terroristic actions could we expect any less?
Who the f*ck rated this garbage 'Insightful'?!?!
Whistle-blowing is NOT a terrorist action in any way, shape or form. Information cannot hurt anyone, thus failing to fulfill the fundamental definition of terrorism.
Sure, things and/or people hidden behind 'security by obscurity' can be hurt following information disclosure, as well as being prosecuted if illegalities are revealed, but then they're really not hurt by the disclosure itself but by the stupidities preceding it.
People abusing power to violate laws, like killing innocent people just because they can, fully deserve the punishment they receive as a result of the information disclosure, whether it is through a court of justice or through military retaliation.
You don't understand what sarcasm is, do you? He obviously has not done any war crimes or terroristic actions, why would you think the poster was being serious?..... or perhaps you're not serious either and this is just meta-sarcasm and I'm failing to pick up on it. OH GOD THE PAIN.
Actually, "getting involved" is one of california's biggest problems. So much of government money is spent placating the stupid californian people whose lives have absolutely no meaning because they are just worthless individuals. That's left with joining groups where the only thing you have to do is sit there and be annoying outside of grocery stores collecting signatures for a handful of people who like wasting taxes on stupid endeavors like putting those bumpy things outside of grocery stores in NEVER-FREEZES socal so that people will have traction in ice (Also apparently so that people in wheelchairs can't get across them since they apparently are nearly impassable if you're in one)
If someone buys the next ubisoft game and posts a review of it conclusively showing that ubisoft no longer rapes your computer when you install it, I might actually consider buying ubisoft games again.
But like you said, I'll believe it when I see it.
I haven't bought (or played) an ubisoft game since Assassin's Creed 1... it was right around then that their whole DRM business started going out of control and it just soured my entire opinion of the company. AC1 was good and I've heard the others are better, but I just don't care anymore; Better companies are making better games, I'll play those instead.
Then if the game is worthy then the same thing that happened to FF7 will happen to it. People have been fixing and making the game compatible for years and adding new content even. I played FF7 on my Win7 pc only a couple years ago.
Of course now you can just buy the re-released version from SquareEnix directly, but I'd be a bit careful about it because they added random crap to the game and considering SE's track record lately it may just be safer to replay the old version.
Even though its been however many years since SciFi channel renamed themselves, everytime I read "Syfy" it still causes me brief intellectual pain and suffering.
Since it's a school network I would think you'd just make anything they type in the URL bar would take them to wikipedia.
But seriously though, I would spend a week creating a whitelist of sites and then whenever they reach a blocked site have it go to a page where they can request access to the site which would then email you a URL, the person requesting it, and their supplied reason for access.
After which you'd just have to click approve a lot for a while and eventually it will die down.
Whitelist with ability to add it is the only way to manage this sort of problem. Blacklist is impossible and never a good idea.
People and governments are a lot like Windows installations... sure it's just going to be the same each time you reinstall, but if you don't ever do it eventually it will just cease working entirely.
The best way to counter this would be to get a group of people to do the same thing to the police.
Create a database of when and where you saw any police vehicle and their license plate numbers.
Eventually they will get freaked out enough that there will be a law against collecting this sort of data.
It's not simply just some scans like that. It takes a snapshot before and after the installation of your product to show you any escalation opportunities you may have accidentally introduced.
It is not intended to tell you an end users computer is safe, but rather that by installing your product you probably haven't made it any less safe.
Very easy, actually. The focus of a huge portion of my work is dedicated to writing or improving fuzz technology for security testing. I could write a basic fuzzer for almost anything in 20 minutes...
Consent to donate is regarding living tissue which bears the risk of them submitting you to painkillerless torture while they remove your organs if there is a misdiagnosis.
In this particular instance they used a completely dead person. In the future they should maybe have 2 check boxes to specify which sort of donation you're willing to do. I won't donate my living tissue but after I'm dead I don't really care.
If by lazy you mean willing to grab your computer and drop it into your car and drive it to a store through traffic letting things bump around and possibly damage your computer and then carry it into a mall or wherever a microsoft store might be, then yeah. Lazy tax.
With this technology we could start arresting criminals even before they commit the crime! Imagine the money saved by not having to investigate anything or in medical bills of the potential victims!
I haven't downloaded any songs either ever since Spotify... or any movies or TV since Netflix (and Hulu for House).
The only reason to do this is to screw over customers as much as they do companies like Spotify... they have to charge such high prices because Hollywood has a monopoly on the prices and can set them as high as they like. The only reason they can't sell artist albums that high is because if its ridiculously priced it'll just get pirated. If pirating is no longer possible then its likely that people will pirate again.
The billions in lost sales that they're claiming isn't the loss of current actual sales, they're the loss in potential sales if they had no reason to keep the prices reasonable.
I'm pretty sure that suicide or other maligned conditions affect people who have been exposed to molestation as a child more often than it does those who have not.
In the future it's probably going to be easier to cure cancer than it is to repair a totally screwed childhood.
This needs to be said again and again, until it is heard.
That's really a nice dream, too bad nothing short of a large scale violent revolution is going to get that to happen. Where's Tyler Durden when we need him?
Considering that a large amount of our really cool consumer tech has been ported to us from space technology research I'm not sure I follow your logic.

I can think of a few things japanese programmers would probably increase the size of by a factor of 1.5 lol
Yeah. Biogas is not a word. I re-read the title like 5 times before I realized what it was supposed to be. Fail title is fail.

California double taxes us anyway. 10% state income tax and 10% sales tax. Assholes. (Yes I realize one is federal one is state. Not the point.)

I'm proud to say that while I ignore nearly every petitioner outside of Trader Joe's, I did take the time to stop and sign this one.

Add a new separation between Business and State.
