Say aliens do exist and I believe odds are good on that score (We are here aren't we?) we have nothing to worry about. They are either at our technological level, bellow us or ahead of us. And they either are violent, savage and psychopathic like us or pacifist and benevolent you know unlike us! If they have the same technological level or bellow us it does not matter because we can't reach them and they can't reach us. If an alien civilization that are as savage and vicious as we are reach a level of technology above us they will use it to destroy themselves you know like we are doing!
The big question to ask is not if alien do exist but why are advanced benevolent aliens not contacting us? The best answer to that question come from a line on the third season of Torchwood. "Sometimes the Doctor must look at this planet and turn away in shame."
So what it was just released the more this tool get used the less false positives you get in future version. Likely by whitelisting the recurring false positive.
Let face it if you start any kind of business, blog or public project you now need to get it trademarked from day one to prevent the vultures from circling you a decade later in the unlikely event that you are even a little successful.
$275 per class for a TEAS Plus application that meets the requirements of 37 C.F.R. 2.22 and 2.23
$325 per class for an application filed electronically using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS)
$375 per class for an application filed on paper
That only for filling trademark I did not mention alternate domain suffix like.org.ca.fr.xxx
and patent... It not higher tax that killing the economy it all the damn parasite lawyers.
I suppose one way to prevent a mess like that is to put a future date on coupons meaning that if a promo go live on Groupon on Monday for a day the first X numbers of buyers can cash their coupons on Monday. The next group of buyers are getting a coupons that only valid say starting on Tuesday until you reached the limit of what you want to invest in this loss leader. But really by doing it this way you don't need more staff you don't need to pay overtime so your loss margin if any become negligible. You might even turn up a tidy profit provided you price it right and you wont piss off your regular customers by neglecting them.
Yeah it not like printing 5000 mail flyers that 99% of peoples will throw away without more than a look when a customer buy a Groupon deal he or she is making a conscious choice and will cash it in at a really high rate.
The lost leader is marketing tactic that everybody know so a lot customers are now doing the get in get the deal and get out before you end up buying something else well above market value. Take Wal-Mart they had a great deal on delissio garlic bread pizza recently. I fulled the freezer with that stuff and it was a get in and get out kind of visit you hang around a bit I guarantee that you will impulse buy something else. Rule number one of the savvy shopper is to never buy something when you don't know the average market price.
Yeah it pretty much a bait and switch business model site like that come and go they either get gobbled up by Amazon and the rest of the big fish or disappear once the hype is over.
I always believed that the first semester of any introduction to computers class should deal almost exclusively with the do's and don't of security. With maybe a week or two of refresher course every year. That would kill the malware business faster than anything else.
Yeah I also stay in the official Repo as much as I can. But Linux is secure in other ways. Encrypted home partition, separate partition for the OS that you can't read and write to without root is also pretty much a standard. Not to mention that most Linux distro don't allow files to be executable without the user at least changing the permission in properties. It only one click but sometime that all you need to make peoples think just a second before installing any crapware that they come around.
Yeah but now that they can't squeeze smaller players out of the market we may finally get them to compete on price that will bring down price for all customers include those who are stuck with Bell!
I think they tried that in the late 90s and while that movie was not that bad it never worked out. Unless they get somebody like Peter Jackson to direct it and maybe a 600 millions budget for five movies. And for fuck sake don't recast the Doctor just pick one of the recent doctor's and work a story during his timeline. Last time war with Eccleston, Dalton anybody?
This thing almost messed up the first NHL game of the season broadcast. And we got TV problem for more than a Day! I demand a Royal Commission to determine what caused this infamy! lolll
Remember this kids while you go to sleep every day of your life you're about 8 minutes from getting fried by a massive Superflare from that big fusion engine up in the sky. Sleep well!
The first question to ask of a slow Firefox situation is how many tabs and how many plugins/add ons. Start by disabling all the add-ons and see if some of them are messing with your system. "You turn them back on one by one until you notice a performance drop." The difference between a naked Firefox (No Add-Ons) and one that been customised for a while is like night and day. I never a bad idea to trim the fat every three months or so if you're into adding a lot of add-ons. The only one you absolutely really need is Adblock+ DownloadHelper (Or equivalent) and NoScript. Just a tip NoScript and Adblock+ together are better at protecting your ass than most anti-virus. Provided you don't download every piece of shit you come across the net. Remember kids the number one security weakness is sitting two feet from your computer screen.
I could so see an application that let you detect and pinpoint a phone or any bluetooth device that you lost around the house. The problem is a thief could also be using it to pinpoint what houses got the good electronic shit just by driving around or what houses are empty just by looking for who not using anything! Hell you want to steal dozen of cell phones you just drive to the nearest parking lot with this thing.
Yeah but you never know Microsoft might be afraid that 2012 is the year that Apple will say. "Let screw Microsoft and release OSX for every hardware!" Or 2012 might be the year when Google say. "Android 5.1 Desktop Edition how about it?"

That why 9 out of 10 new business fail in the first year. You need and will usually fail at least a few times in business before you strike it big.

Ever been to London. The prices are crazy high on everything it like New York but cleaner and a hell of a lot more polite.

Is that the first version that get Linux optimisation right out of the box? (About effing time!) I heard that somewhere a while back.
"Will Quantum Computing Make It Out of the Lab?" Is an interesting but isn't asking it result in changing the outcome?
Actually there plenty of cancer with a much higher survivable rate now than barely two decades ago.
I believed somebody made a plastic plane by fusing trash bag the same way you can make a laptop case. Silly me! http://youtu.be/0oddEWnj7X0

I never met an OEM or a motherboard maker respecting spec or standard!
