What, broadband providers don't have enough bandwidth?
Lay more fucking fiber, you god damned piece of shit greedmongering lazy bastards! I pay $110 for cable per month, and that ONLY includes analog, digital on ONE TV, and a cable modem. I have an HDTV, and I REFUSE to pay them another $10 for 8 760p.
Eat my shorts, telecoms.
(Note that my cable company is not a large one, and my modem's speed is routinely 1.5x advertized with no latency problems or blocked ports. Still, $110 a month??)
Not only that, but we're really not made to focus on phosphor dots 10" from our head. If you're in front of a monitor all day, try a reduced resolution, and make sure to get up and make a lap around the cubes every hour or so. Even looking up at the ceiling for a minute or so every 10 minutes can help.
Ask any psychologist you've got handy. Or even your mom. You/need/ sleep. These drugs might make it possible for the brain to function without stopping to take a rest, but just like any machine, it still needs its downtime. If you're spending ALL of your energy on working, then what about giving your brain time to reorganize? Work things out?
I really, really hope they do some in-depth studies on this, as I'm curious to see if I'm right.
Ah, but sir! The contents of the room behind said door are not continuously spilling into my property (and if they were, the owner of the room would have to rectify this!). Furthermore,
If you don't want me talking to someone in your house, don't leave your door wide open with a sign that says so!
Of course, when you miss the point of the feature, the lights being on all the time sounds stupid.
They're Daytime Running Lights. They're dimmer than full headlights, but you might not ever notice because the car may turn the brigher low beams on for you. It's there for safety purposes, a car with its lights on is more visible even in daylight.
I really, REALLY hope this pisses you Americans off, because it's got me pretty fuming. If this makes it to CNN or something otherwise, I'll write my reps, but seeing as midterms are next week, I won't do it just now. My state is about to have a lame duck or two.
Let's see the issues here.
- The government took jobs away from Americans to try and save money.
Then, since they didn't think it through,
- The government failed to adequately protect its people by allowing foreigners, possibly enemies, to write code for its own weapons systems. I don't feel safe.
But they actually figured it out. Hence,
- The government failed to be accountable with its cost cutting practices, and is now going to cause even more tax burden on the Americans that are now with (less) jobs.
Do not expect them to hire any new programmers or get any new contracts to test this code, I'm going to assume (jokes about assumption aside) from the above 3 points that the government will be taking their good old, expensive time with this, and will not correct the problem.
"One of these retroviral proteins permits implantation of the placenta. Without it, we'd all have placentas that don't attach to the uterine lining -- like mice, which as a result, aren't very complex when they have to be born."
I'd be willing to guess that you'd have quite a different creature on your hands.
Sad thing is, in the good old USofA (Altoona, PA, to be exact), people are arrested for doing the same thing, except with copper pipes from people's basements and I'm sure its for drugs, not food:P
Broadband is usually a little easier to implement when those that will use the line aren't so poor as to dig up ten miles of copper cable to sell for a dollar something a pound to feed their children.
(not that the $100 laptop is any better of an idea)
I'm not a lawyer either, but you're probably not actually IN america until that border guard says you are. Until then, that piece of paper don't mean shit (and probably doesn't on this side, either)
They're studying the folds of protiens. All protiens are made of chains of amino acids, but usually more than one chain, and they're folded and twisted in a precise way in order to perform their functions. Think of them as a cell's nanomachines. Some of them are so large and complicated that it takes quite a bit of CPU power to calculate how they will fold.
You must be in PA. I was an intern at PennDOT one time, and just couldn't understand why they bought brand new Dell desktops for everybody when half of the workers spent their whole day in a terminal emulator.
And screw the software. I had a legal size piece of paper taped on my cube wall with probably, oh, 8 or 10 point print with just a bunch of 4-letter codes that I had to know to get anything done!
Murder weapon isn't a very good analogy. If you want to use the weapon analogy, you could say the cops know the murder weapon is in that pile of a couple quadrillion guns, and they're forcing you to go in and find it for them.

"You should sleep on it," isn't just a cliche.

Jokes aside, salvia is actually legal. See your local head shop.

Well, if Microsoft actually DID that, they'd be right at the bullseye on the lawsuit target. Duh.

Yeah, it's gotta be the foreigners trying to fix our elections... couldn't be any native companies.
/our/ politicians.
Personally, I'd rather have them doing it than

Dude, are you a sociologist/educator?
No?
Shut up.
ONE violation? heh. If you believe THAT you have FAR too much trust in the government's ability to control or deter crime.

Not in a civil case!
How about random read or write? I /am/ kind of curious.
But that happened to a criminal.
That's been happening for thousands of years, and is kind of part of the punishment for crime. It's to be expected.

shit, only 1,166 doors to knock on according to Wikipedia! Better dig yourself a hole quickly, son.
Yeah, he could have saved his money up. But his point was that no console is worth $500+. Duh.
