News for nerds. Any decent nerd knows what cyanogenmod is. If every term was explained in every article, nobody would want to read them. TFA also does not explain "Amdroid", "ICS", or "Android." Consider what a boorishly long article it would be if it did. CNN and Fox News don't explain the word "sequestration" or "murder" in every article. There is a certain level of understanding you expect your audience to have.
Not voting is stupid. It is simply accepting the status quo. If all the people who did not vote pecause they did not like the parties' choices, they could elect thier own (probably better) choice. The two-party system stays in power because of people like you.Nowadays with early and absentee voting, there is no excuse to skip voting.
because fibre is much easier to break/snap than copper. Same reason the company my friend works for who installs media distribution systems into Lufthansa aircraft don't spec it out with fiber lines.. they use CAT 7 with the TERA style ends, because an over-zealous mechanic is more likely to snap a fibre optic line with his zip tie than a copper line
What kind of installer would use zip ties on fiber? I do QC for the world's largest communications provider, and I would fail any install where that happened.
For untuned interference, like your cell phone trying to interfere with your TV, rejection is great.
Funny, but TVs are one of the most common places I hear the "brrzzzztt brrrrzzzzzt" from my GSM cellphone. When I have the ringer off, it's how I know I just got an SMS or someone tried to call me. Rejection not so hot, I think.
That's not coming in through the tv tuner. That interference comes from the audio circuitry on the TV not being properly sheilded - a pulsing relatively high power radio transmitter close to a non-linear circuit. GSM phones are the worst culprits because of the frequency range (800-900MHz).
OK. I have never played the game and I really don't understand what's going on in the video. but TFA states there were ~$25k in loss and damages. That is $25k that people paid EVE for (virtual) merchandise that they don't have anymore.
Arms sales, even virtual arms sales, is a very lucrative business.
All these destruction plans ignore the obvious: why did you print it to start with? In my office suite we have ~15 printers and one medium size shredder. I see people print 20 copies of prestentations(in color), then notice an error and reprint the whole thing. People will print a 100-page PDF to skim it one time.
and it's part of social security here (of course you get to pay a couple EURs a month for the privilege). But I guess this over-the-top socialist expropriation of financial assets doesn't resonate with the you folks across the ocean... but it does qualify for a good bullet point in the "benefits" employment contract section. Yep, us european are decadent spoilt brats...:P
How much is a "couple euro" to you? My German brother-in-law pays almost twice as much for the "privilege" than I pay for my medical and life insurance combined. I have no co-pay when I go to the doctor while his is 20 Euro. My widowed mother-in-law's retirement check has decreased four years in a row and prices have increased.
Decadent indeed.
For that much data, I'd recommend just keeping the original HD-DVDs and Blu-ray media for your "20 GB" files, and the original CDs for your "3 MB" files.
We are helping someone back up his music and audio collection, aren't we?
And they won't be pirated, will they?
The idea of re-ripping ~2400 assorted CDs, DVDs, and BR (total 15tb) really does not appeal to me. So- I back it up, even though I have every one of the originals. Just because you don't understand something is not a reason to assume the person is doing something illegal.
This is what happens when you present one fact and leave out the context. Most of the workers at the factory can't afford cars, and would probably drive them to work if they could. Are you suggesting that poverty is a good way to improve the environment?
All routers supplied by Verizon for FiOS service has a WAN side log-in port open, and they install firmware upgrades and you can do nothing about it. If you want FiOS you have to let them do whatever they want with the bits coming of the router at their end.
Not all of them, mine allows you to disable the automatic firmware and remote management. I still did not trust/like their router and put my own between the FIOS ONT and their router. Basically, their router now sits in my DMZ and is pretty much nothing but a MOCA adaptor for the set top boxes.
ACTA, He was driving a rental car without tags, had no license, and a foreign ID. I think (hope) that would warrant a free ride to the police station in most states.
The problem with your logic is that you pretend it's either or. I will play a fun game with good graphics more than a fun game with OK graphics, especially on my 65" TV. Also, you're not typical - most people have gotten bored with their Wii.
I didn't say that I don't want gameplay AND graphics. But, If I have to make a choice, I choose gameplay. It seems too many games (and the consumers, I guess) choose graphics. But, If most people are bored with their wii, they still sell an awful lot of games. I have not played every game, but I find the wii games much more fun than the 360. But like I said, I am not a hard core gamer.
I don't buy a game for the graphics. I buy it because it is fun to play. I will play a fun game with ok graphics a lot more often than a bad game with awesome graphics. And most games lately are just copies of older games with improved graphics.
I am a casual gamer. I have a Wii and a 360 - the Wii gets a lot more play time. I bought the wii on the day it was released and my daughter and I still play Mario Kart two or three times a week for an hour or so. Come to think of it, I am not even sure the xbox is plugged in.
I for one would love to see a Wii with 1080p output and a better web browser. Although really even upconverting to 720p would be a substantial improvement; right now you have to buy an additional cable just to get it all the way up to 480p.
Slashdot Mirror
and the experiment is correct. There is absolutley no garden cress germinating near my router.
"Even most Android users don't change the firmware of their devices"
User != Nerd. And you should really give decaf a shot. It's just as good. Really!

My very own little Higgs boson particle. I will hug him and squeeze him and name him George.
and another day floating in a life raft, you know, to complete the experience.

Just let FedEx handle all your data transfer needs.
High latency, High bandwitdh. But given the road, fedex is a little slow. IPoAC would be better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
how far can a monkey throw poo in space?
That's not quite how it works.
OK. I have never played the game and I really don't understand what's going on in the video. but TFA states there were ~$25k in loss and damages. That is $25k that people paid EVE for (virtual) merchandise that they don't have anymore. Arms sales, even virtual arms sales, is a very lucrative business.
so who won and what did they get?
EVE Online won. They got $25k.

Ubuntu's default install ISO will boot from the CD. You don't need windows, or any other OS.
