You probably wont reply to this, but what the hell are you talking about? Windows having more granular security means it can do all the permutations of permissions available in unix and then some.
What rubbish. A process started as a user can do anything a user can do. That's because current security models are shit. It's no different that under *nix any process started as a user can edit any dotfles in the users home directory.
Nah. I'm Australian and have a current account with ANZ and CUA, and used to have an account with Suncorp. In the US I have been with BoA and Chase. I can have transaction history for any period I choose, for free, and if I go into a branch the fee might be $2 or so, same as in Aus.
The main area the US is behind almost every other country in is direct deposit. I can't easily send money to someone elses account. Most countries have some equivilant of our BSB/account number setup, but not the US. Hell, they still have to use checks for most stuff.
The other interesting thing is that when paying with a visa/mc debit or credit card....no one checks for id, I don't need to put in a pin nor sign anything. If you steal someones card then its free reign till its called in and cancelled. I find that interesting.
The sound of one hand clapping sounds similar to two hands clapping, but less loud due to less force. A coin with one side would be a mobius strip as currency.
I get that you can't have 100% employment, but I still don't see why 2% is a bad thing.
Would not such a low number indicate that the previous job offerings that needed people with higher education have now been filled? How do you reach the conclusion that a lower percentage of unemployment means we have to many job openings and not enough people qualified for them?
Only Hurley, Zeta-Jones, Forlani and Winslett are attractive on that list. To be fair, I have not even heard of the bottom 3, so I doubt they have been imported.
The UK is more depressing what with its annual 4 hours of sunshine and the best looking women maybe rating a 7. Who can forget the warm beer, bad food and lovable totalitarian government?
I'm not kidding. You don't think all of that stuff can have a negative affect on a persons psyche, perhaps affecting their health? Especially the warm beer...that's especially depressing.
So why are harddrives based of powers of 1000, and RAM is not? And no, network speaks are still powers of 1024, such as 100 megabits being 104857600 bits. HDD's have always been the odd one out, and for what good reason? Because it's cheaper for them. Right?
Ahh, so it was what I said. Yeah, I don't like the new prefixes, they are unneccessary. Whenever mega or kilo or terra or whichever is immediantly followed by the 'byte' suffix then its obvious its powers of 1024, and not 1000. Since it's the only context they are used in, there is really no need for change.
It certainly doesn't change the fact that HDD advertisers used false advertising almost since the start,
Huh? A terabyte is 1099511627776 bytes, while the harddrives use 1000 bytes instead of 1024 bytes, resulting 1000000000000 bytes, which is false advertising. At least as I understand it.
Oddly enough, my media player has pause functionality.
I object to the one number increment because it just seems so lazy. It wasn't the main problem for me, so much as Shirley Manson's terrible terrible acting.
Her number was staed on the show when it showed her HUD. The problem I had with that is that the one number increment was just stupid, and something I would expect out of a merchandising tie in, not a serious show set in the universe.
I disagree that BSG was not pure scifi as per your definition. The whole point of the show was exploring the issues raised by creating realistic artificial life forms, something strictly in the domain of science, not fantasy. Star Wars is Space Opera, BSG is not.
Reaper was terrible. Terminator was full of shitty acting and poor storytelling, and after they added Shirley Manson things just went horribly downhill. A t-1001? Really? That's something I would expect from a shitty merchandise backstory.
Better of Ted still had a lot of hilarious episodes in season 2. The problem was that both seasons were not mainstream *enough*. Shows with an obscure sense of humour are going to have an obscure amount of fans.
Heroes was shit after S1. S2 had promise, and given that it was the WGA strike can be excused. Season 3 was complete crap and the characters were no longer themselves, and then S4 was completely irrelevant to the previous seasons.
SG:U is shit. It is so formulaic and trying to be different while leaving behind all the reasons the other two series succeeded.
Say what you like, but even smart people don't watch bad shows. You just seem like a pretentious ass with what you wrote above.
As for good shows? Chuck is an extremely well crafted show, with a great many intelligent jokes and *amazing character development. It is without a doubt the best show in the last few years, and I hope more people discover it. Mad Men and Breaking bad are amazing, as is True Blood. For non cable shows check out Fringe, Community, 30 rock and Supernatural.
Bad shows get cancelled because they are *bad*, and yes a lot of good shows get caught in the crossfire. Most of the shows you listed above got cancelled because they were bad, with the exception being Better of Ted. To say there are not any smart shows on TV at the moment however....is just flat out wrong.

At least for me, I didn't have a problem. The again, I used a reliable pirated release.

It may not be needed, but can it help?

Right, we know through various studies that you are mainly shaped by your environment, not your genetics.
I get that you can't have 100% employment, but I still don't see why 2% is a bad thing.
Would not such a low number indicate that the previous job offerings that needed people with higher education have now been filled? How do you reach the conclusion that a lower percentage of unemployment means we have to many job openings and not enough people qualified for them?
Feeling dumb....but 2% being lower than 5% is a good thing, no?
OK, wtf are you talking about? Give an example of these impossible to meet criteria?
Because any fee like that is simply bullshit. Once the attacks stopped, what was needed more than a restart?
Remember, the systems were not breached, they were simply overloaded.
Only Hurley, Zeta-Jones, Forlani and Winslett are attractive on that list. To be fair, I have not even heard of the bottom 3, so I doubt they have been imported.
I don't mean to offend....but I don't understand how anyone can be so into cheese? Including apparently the French.
It always amuses me when a) people assume I'm American and b) Europeans show such ignorance about such a diverse country as the US.

With the X server the machine does not have to be rooted, you have to trust who owns the machine. Not the case with RDP.

How much do all these techniques alter the original code? Just curious

You were able to actually read that? Well, okay.

Woah woah woah.
