Magnetism fails with temperature or the lack thereof. I often wonder why astronomers insist the corona of the sun is highly magnetic. All magnetism fails at cherry red heat (500 degrees C for all matter.)
Perhaps some of the bright sparks on here would know?
The consensus of opinion seems to be that the sharks in Hollywood etc are riding the lawmakers and the lawmakers are riding the feds. But suppose it is the secret police who are riding the copyright laws.
It certainly seems an odd business practice that has gone on for far too long to be a case of sheer corporate stupidity. Lala land has been a traditionally innovative force. And filled with people whose first idea is to make money. Is it truly festooned with idiots and lawyers these days, so inept they are alienating a group of people that were once called fans?
I know very little about UN, other than it was supposed to be where all governments go to agree on how to be civil to each other.
It's quite easy to understand. It is based on a tenet implemented by the last legally elected Prime Minister of Britain before World War 2. It was called appeasement then. Today it is called world peace.
It's about how to let other countries and such type states commit genocide without having to step in and do anything about it. (Unless they have oil. In that case it is all about having a Veto (and allies with vetos.))
Yup. The only people I know equating libertarians and corporate personhood are people who knee-jerk hate libertarians.
I don't know any who support corporate personhood, and many who either imply or explicitly state that, since corporations are a status created by the state they are liable to the state for all their actions.
After some accidents due to shoddy management a few years ago, Britain decided to hold corporations responsible at law as though persons. So in theory a company could be sent to gaol. Since then of course no managers or directors have been sent to gaol for incompetence and negligence, not even bankers.
The managers of Barclays for example or RBS, won't even get a wrist slapping through the legal system.

Was the US law determined for such cases in the past, because of slavery and the KKK for example?
He has helped a lot of morons to realise, finally, that there is no difference between the USA and the USSR, that there never was a difference between the USA and the USSR and that there never will be a difference between the USA and the USSR.
Apart from that there isn't much difference between this case and all the other cases brought against whistle-blowers everywhere, including the Brit that got pulled out of Australia for writing a book about the Brits.
And it goes all the way back to the McCarthy witch hunts and further: United Fruit and the CIA and it touches on the exploits of Admiral Vanderbilt in central America. In fact you could blame the whole Colombian drugs cartel business on the way Central America was carved up by the USA.
All good clean fun for the family's enematainment.
I'd approach this: use their data of when commercials appear as hints for me to pause (literally or just marker id's in a file) and resume recording.
of course all your branded dvr's that do work digitally can be mucked with, but anything we have on (myth) can benefit from 'a commercial or must-watch thing comes..... NOW' markers.
I needed a birth certificate, proof of my national insurance number and all my bank details.
I had to sign a waiver about my bank account and agreed to have some of my wages docked for this and that reason.
Then the interview began.
After we had to sit through all the advertising bullshit for Morrisons, the company employing the agency running the scam... (I wish I could get hold of some of the presentation videos. If you remember the deer in the headlights clip of Tony Blair visiting the USA after realising he'd just got rogered into a phoney war, it was like that) they wanted to know just how desperate we were and how reliable we'd be.
I wonder just how many of these sorts of scams people like the large supermarkets pull.
Their in house "agency" only running the personnel office of that one branch not the whole chain.
And only offering a few days here and there as needed and no sick pay if you fail to meet their stringent quarantine laws.
It's back to the Victorian era in time for the Jubilee.
Openly bashing NVIDIA for doing things their way is wrong, because it's their product, and, therefore, their decision.
You are right they shouldn't ever be told that they are making a mistake.
How long have you been employed by AMD?
I'd really love to see NVIDIA open their specs, but if they don't want to, they're not going to because they don't need to.
Absolutely
And I completely agree with this from a business perspective. It's easy to rant or cheer from the sidelines when you don't have a culture to run.
Ah, hang on. I can remember when the railways were de-nationalised in this country. The morons who got the control suddenly decided that people who used bicycles were going to have to pay for their tickets and their bike's space on the train.
So the people who had bikes had a choice, use the bike or use the car.
NVIDIA produces some of the best GPU architectures on the market, arguably the best in their industry, and I can understand that they would like to do everything they can to not lose their trade secrets.
And that means their architecture will be the best?
How does that work when the people who need to know can't couple their expertise with their expertise?
a more likely scenario, you leave your pencil on the table, another picks it up and tries to stab me;
If anyone reading this is considering such an attack, fetch a better weapon.
A broken pencil can do as much damage to the attacker as the victim. And the victim will be seriously annoyed. And your pen will no longer be mightier than a sword as it is now defunct.
If you are in a situation where a pencil or a biro is all you have, you need to get it behind the person you are defending yourself from and in a position you can pull it into soft flesh without it breaking and before he kills you.
That means his neck.
If you can get both hands on it, keep pulling until you can write the result on your shirt. If you can't, you may lose -badly.
Scientific Linux is a Linux release put together by Fermilab, CERN, and various other labs and universities around the world. Its primary purpose is to reduce duplicated effort of the labs, and to have a common install base for the various experimenters.
>>>The base SL distribution is basically Enterprise Linux, recompiled from source.
Our main goal for the base distribution is to have everything compatible with Enterprise, with only a few minor additions or changes. Examples of items that were added are Alpine, and OpenAFS.
Our secondary goal is to allow easy customization for a site, without disturbing the Scientific Linux base. The various labs are able to add their own modifications to their own site areas.
By the magic of scripts, and the anaconda installer, each site is to be able to create their own distributions with minimal effort. Or, if a user wishes, they can simply install the base SL release.
Good grief. All the politics would put anyone off answering this one.
Cooking is chemistry and so is making stuff go up in smoke. Start off by finding what the kid likes and explain the fundamentals of technicolour physics.
How does and engine work?
How do fireworks go off?
What happens when you put iron in water?
Oil?
Dirty water?
Water that has been boiled?
Wrapped in a little aluminium?
Then there is electrolysis and making electricity. More fundamental black & white physics but still good for the kid to grasp elements and the rest of it.
Try turning a pieces of nickel into a piece of copper.
Making a pair of carbon rods light with coins or washers. (A bit above his age group maybe. But how about dissecting a flat battery?
Or making his own carbon rods?
What metals or carbon clay mixes can he write with. What can he make crayons and paint out of?
Take him down to a scrap yard and root around for different metals with him, for him to play with. (While you are at it, take some old hard drives and loudspeakers apart and show him the magnets. Kids love magnets at any age. Show him how to dismantle stuff.)
Showing him how different oils behave in air. Making paint. Dissolving things in other things. Stay away from the maths and crap like that; just open his eyes to the wonder of it all. If he gets the bug, he will want to teach himself more, later. The first thing he needs to learn about chemistry is how dangerous some chemicals are. So start with bleach and whatever you have in the garage.
And make sure he knows about special clothing for messing with stuff and about hygiene and safe storage. And not working alone. That could be VERY dangerous.
It's never too late to do the right thing. All they need to do is find out what the right thing is. Has it got anything like what it needs besides a florid history?
It is of use to note that we celebrate a war every year. Had we lost or had there been no contest, there likely wouldn't be fireworks every year while somewhere north of 90% of the dissidents
You would have had fireworks and a bonfire at the best time of year for both. Only you'd have been celebrating the death of Roman Catholics not the death of Wild Injuns and buffalo (and maybe would have had to call those bison.)
OTOH you would have ended up downloading the most paid for digital music.
Plus of course we would have owned Persia still so you wouldn't have invented stuffnex.
Now let's see the bloody code will you bollock brains!

You can buy a car in Britain with its licence.
Presumably you can buy a TV ditto?
Though it is the home that has that one. (I think.)
Then there is a fishing license. That's per rod but you can be using any number of any rods if you have that number of licenses.

wouldn't striking back just be hurting some innocent grandma who visited the wrong website?
I imagine that most of the time they'll run straight into organised crime or a national government.
1. Grandma's zombie is dead so it isn't an offence to kill it. If she isn't stopped, she will remain a liability till death does her part.
2. Being afraid of governments makes fearsome governments. Being afraid of criminals makes powerful criminals.

"Satire" and "shitty movie" aren't mutually exclusive.
In my case, that would depend on whether I was paid per view or paying per view.
If no money was involved that would soon exclude me in.
Is this to do with the Great Game or just the stuff the rest of us don't play in real life?
Because the IBM advert in here:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_omap4460&num=1 just wouldn't go away.
And the results table wasn't designed to work properly on Ubuntu. Not on my Ubuntu at least.
Or maybe it doesn't like Opera. (Whose DDoSsing them by the way?
Not the Persians shirley?)
So what I was thinking is... that with a super-fast Ubuntu desktop, can Tetris work?
Or Pacman?
Anyway, now that you have scared everyone off Intel Chips and Microsoft Operating systems....
Besides nuclear bunkers, what's next to build?

If I'd knowed that a Kindle could be used to write stuff on and store stuff and stuff I udda got one by now.
Why make a thing more complex than it need be?
You lose a lot of usefulness by dumbing it down like that.
At 3000 dollars a throw, I'd have converted Sony Walkmans years ago if I knew how.
So much for human ingenuity and free enterprise.
A country like yours would be more likely to vote a chimpanzee into office rather than get a few basic people problems solved.
Oh wait...
You did. That's it then, problem shelved. You will have to wait for the British again.
Ours are better than theirs. We know this because we have been using them on us far longer.
How many people were killed per capita by the Chinese? By the Chinese government?
ditto for America and Iran.
You are wrong.
When the USA wiped out places like Mai Lai and poisoned the whole of central Vietnam and all the Cambodian border it was for their own good.
Everyone knows that.
When the Chinese commit the sort of thing the Israel USA pact does in Palestine and everywhere, it is just the work of gangsters.
