...I mean that "and then moments later" thats just a minor edit. Its not like they were doing a "Meanwhile, in Norway" gag, that missing footage was just when there weren't four or five cameras trained on an officer that was a little agitated and a protester that was pushing the limits. Nothing to see in those gaps at all.
This is the kind of shit that makes it hard to have any real discourse. Everyone edits and cuts, here in the states we saw it with the Ag Secretary being quoted out of context and sacked, we see it in the political ads, hell the "news" networks do it too.
If you make SATA controllers, and you didn't see 3TB coming coming years in advance, you need to get the hell out of the hardware business. You are incompetent. Go find another line of work.
On the other hand if you saw 3TB coming, built SATA controllers that only handled 1TB AND charged an early-adopter premium, THEN conned users into upgrading to the 2TB version later, AND NOW can get them to upgrade again for 3TB you're brilliant and if not rich at least living comfortably.
We have to earn their trust so we can get the plutonium and hope they don't find out what we gave them back in return was a bunch of pinball machine parts.
Like most engineering problems, it depends. Regardless of protocol many small connections or transactions is often a sign that you're doing too little in one connection and could either create a persistent connection or start combining payloads.
There is some overhead to create and allocate an HTTP connection, send the headers around, authenticate it, etc. If you know that you're going to need to be feeding the user a stream of data its not a bad option.
I do agree with other posters that HTTP may not be the best approach, but in a browser thats often all you have. At least its all you have with any guarantee that you won't be blocked.
I don't really find this surprising in the least. I've been saying this for awhile now. Why would you possibly want to build a professional application on top of what is basically a mudslide?
The thing is thats how it is now and how it was before HTML5. People are still building websites and using them to make money so it can't be that bad.
The rolling debt, where as one bond is paid off another is opened, is not being implemented that way. We're paying off the old bonds, by taking out new bonds AND taking out more new bonds to pay for the new projects. Its like using one credit card to pay off another. It might save a few times in the short term, but won't work in the long term.
Individuals can do that, after they've paid off their houses and stopped driving anywhere, but it implies your life is coming to a close and you have no use for growth.
Hardly. Debt is useful but it is hardly necessary to build a life and advance. Dave Ramsey puts it better than I do, check out one of his books.
Individual debt is different from national debt, but that doesn't mean that some basic concepts from one don't apply to the other. Its fine to use credit wisely and responsibly, but neither men nor nations can rely on it to fund everything. Eventually someone will want real money.
The thing is eldavojohn practically *is* an editor for/. , just check out his submission page. Despite having such a high UID he's got a solid reputation, a good writing style, and offers good commentary on a wide variety of topics.
The best measurements are deaths by firearms (incl, accidents and suicide) as well as murder by firearms to be correlated with total murders (all per capita). These definitions dont leave much room for interpretation.
I have a problem with the broad "death by firearms" category. Whenever you have $BADTHINGS caused by $OBJECT its a sign that someone is trying to ban something or is missing the actual cause of the deaths. Some examples "Deaths caused by cars" versus "Deaths caused by intoxicated drivers". In the gun debate it's often used to inflate the gun death figures even though things like suicides would happen whether or not there were guns. Accidents with guns are a problem, its a device designed to put lethal holes in things and there isn't much margin for error, but for all the angst over gun deaths there is lots of low hanging fruit that we can pick to save lives.
I agree here, the extremists on both sides tend to polarise the discussion. Personally I dont believe more guns == less crime as there are too many other factors. As to gun crime, it's all about attitude, a bad gun culture leads to more firearm injuries/deaths where as a good gun culture leads to less. I feel that a bad gun culture is more of a problem then firearm availability in the US.
Its a classic 'one-percent' problem. Yes there are ass-wipes in the gun community whose favorite catch phrase is "Whut? It isn't loaded" followed up with a racist joke, but they are a small minority. The gun community at large works very hard to shut them up because we are responsible, safe, and generally quite polite. It's a challenge if you're active in a semi-private gun club, do you invite those people in and show them the right way to do things or do you boot them out to preserve your own reputation? It's like the small percentage of malware writers ruining the reputation of the entire Slashdot community.
1. Agreed. 2. Disagree. Credit is very hard to get in the segments of society that tend to commit crime. Why do you think check cashing places and "buy here pay here" car lots and Rent-A-Centers are so prevalent and still in business? Because a lot of people can't get credit cards or bank loans. Yes those are sources of credit, but its on really shitty terms. 3. Locking up first time offenders sends them to a place where they get to learn the trade from the best. Well, second best. They did get caught after all. 4. A 2 minute response time is impressive, however most of the country doesn't have that luxury. I have the utmost respect for police, fire, and ambulance crews but when seconds count, they are minutes away. Having help nearby does not excuse a person from being able to handle their own emergencies. Far better to file a report in the morning on an "almost" than to have to call 911 on a "happened".
Please challenge these if you see fault. I am very pro-gun, but I do realize that I need to examine my own beliefs from time to time.
I often find it frustrating to engage in a debate about gun rights because of the double-speak and manipulated statistics from both sides. The NRA has pissed me off just as much as the VPC.
Poor girl still flinches every time I turn on a light.
Yea that happens when you leave 'em locked up in the basement too long. You should rotate your basement captives out into the fields from time to time or they go all albino on you.

Still no.
OT, but its good to know I'm not the only one that affects. I'd ask for links to the issue or bug reports but well, you know...
Its not homosexual according to http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=space+docking

Cheaper than $20 a GB.
I know thats expensive now, but I'm just old enough to remember when a GB of spinning magnetic disk was a big effing deal.

No it isn't its DUCK SEASON.

But how do you then get rid of the ferrets?
The Kärcher Robot Cleaner has a loading station that sucks the dirt out of the robot, but it's more than double the price.
Umlauts are an expensive upgrade. I bet the Röömbä would be like eight times as expensive.
WOOSH! That reference raced past you at 88 miles an hour.

Thats not good enough. We actually have to pay down the debt at some point.

Only until they turn 18. Giggity.

I live in a state with a large number of concealed carry permits. Forceful robberies are becoming less common.

1) Wander around house, see if lights, appliances, devices are on/plugged in.
2) Make arbitrary decision about power usage.
3) Turn off/unplug device.
There. Now go play outside.
