The banks posted it on facebook, and thought they had done so privately. Apparently not. I guess that 'no privacy' sword cuts both ways, eh zuckerberg?
Government solutions are absolutely the best for natural monopolies.
Saskatchewan's state-run electric, gas, and telephone companies are the reason it has some of the lowest rates in the country. All this despite having very low population density, which make the servicing costs much higher.
When the horrible evil socialists came to power there, shortly after WWII, there was basically no asphalt, electricity, or telephone outside of city limits. No private companies would step up, as it was far too long term for return on investment. They'd only service the cities. We're talking a mile of transmission line per farm, very expensive to service. By 1960 it was pretty much as it is today, due to intense programs by the govn't.
Then they implemented universal healthcare, which spread throughout the country.
Just because you have an incompetent and corrupt government doesn't mean government solutions can not be ideal. Fix that, instead.
I've bought from both of them, with analytics blocked in no-script, no problems. I might have APIs whitelisted though, not certain right now. An awful lot of sites use google analytics for statistics, but I've never seen it be essential for function.
One thing we know for sure: economic central plannning committees with 5-year plans trying to allocate a nations resources fail harder than any market could ever fail.... nearly destroy technologcal progress.
Is that the same 'near destruction of technological progress' that put the first satellite in space, and the first man in space?
Yep, first past the post is an archaic thing from the cave era, horribly undemocratic.
So you have a four way race, with results of 25%, 25%, 24%, and 26%... and the person with 26% ends up representing all of the voters, even though three quarters of which may be vehemently opposed to them. Very democratic.
Well, you can't hide in a western country with American fingers in it, obviously.
Anything in grey on this map doesn't (or didn't - I'd imagine Slovenia has one now, being EU member, for example) have a treaty. Of course that doesn't preclude uh... let's say 'extrajudicial extradition' from happening. map
Hmmm. Further research tells me the bit about NES getting to impossible speeds is only a figment of my imagination. Perhaps it was a different version...
Achin' to play some tetris now. It's been years...

I think the gameboy one stopped speeding up and some point, letting you play forever, well at least until you ran into a batch of randomness that gave you too many bad pieces.
The NES one, on the other hand, was actually impossible after a certain level... the blocks fell faster than you could get them to the edges of the screen.
There was a version of tetris someone made, maybe from here... that always gave you the worst possible piece. Googling 'ragetris' tells me it was called 'hatetris'.
Not entirely related to things being NP-hard, but yeah.
Bullshit. Currently I can break DRM on anything (hardware, CDs, etc) that *i* own. I can't hack other people's servers and whatnot, which is what the law you are referring to is talking about. The colour of right bit in there is implying it isn't your property. Are you trying to say it's illegal to destroy your own fucking data? That's what your other post is implying, and it's a ludicrous concept.
If this thing passes, you can no longer break DRM on things you own, even for fair use. (say - format shifting and whatnot).
Certain corporations that own the govn't, the govn't being the face of 'the US'.
Of course we know that's not what the people want, at least not all of them. I'd wager most have no idea, anyway.
It's a figure of speech. when people say 'the US' is in Iraq, it doesn't imply every american citizen is there, rather that the government or an agent of theirs is there.
Because we haven't had a PM that wasn't afraid to tell the US to sit and spin since Trudeau. shame. Every one since has been a train of US appeasers, of various levels.
On the way home the radio said the new CEO is the current (err past, now) COO. It also said he's going to run it 'steady as she goes', so sounds like nothing will change, and the slide to irrelevance will continue... just with one less CEO.
Unless he's just saying that to not scare anyone off, and planning on big changes. Who knows.
I think most of former Yugoslavia (probably not Slovenia. as it is EU member now), as well as a lot of ex-USSR states as well (Belarus, Ukraine, bits in the Caucasus, *istan - basically everything except the baltics), aren't on that list.
I agree with the sentiment, but the answer is mostly just because.
Why drive 80 in a 60? Why have double the bacon on that cheeseburger? Why is there a market for breast implants and 'male enhancement' pills? Why do billionares want more cash? Why do douchebags have trucks jacked up higher than the roof of my car?

I'm more surprised they aren't using some sort of encryption already.

is it google analytics or google api or what?

Yeah, imagine what we could have done if we didn't quit taxing the rich.

World's most expensive army, if nothing else.
Well, some things get better and some get worse.
I guess being owned by bankers and corporations is the price you pay to have meat and chocolate at the grocers, and western music.

Yep, that's the rest of Canada's fault.
And guess which party is going to pass this bag of shit? They've been trying for years, but with a minority there was never enough support.
Yet today, Americans pay to receive calls on their mobile phones, and Europeans don't. Funny how that works, isn't it .

Before OSX, when steve was on vacation. most of the 90s until things started turning around with the ugly CRT imacs, and then osx.

A hypothetical Iran freezing Europe situation probably lost it's edge when Russia actually did, in fact, freeze Europe.
"Iran sits on 50 percent of the world’s energy, and if it wants, Europe will spend the winter in the cold," Salami told Iranian troops.
Awesome name.

Yeah, throttling and whatnot should make it fairly impervious to heat effects, I would think. Over-volting on the other hand, not as much.
Never thought I'd see intel go for something like this, although I don't bother with overclocking these days.
from TFA, since the summary neglected it:
Processors in which you can purchase a Protection Plan include:
Intel Core i7 3960X: $35
Intel Core i7 3930K: $35
Intel Core i7 2700K: $25
Intel Core i7 2600K: $25
Intel Core i5 2500K: $20
Seems fairly affordable if you plan on burning one up, I suppose.
Not likely, I don't think the TSA allows you to have hard items any more.
