I don't know why if i'm sitting in the front seat I'd need the car to be off.
. So if I'm out in the middle of nowhere and decide to take a nap in my car, I have to go stick the keyfob under a rock somewhere so it doesn't run itself down?
Don't get me wrong, the box itself seems decent, other than the cheap noisy fans. Takes up a lot less space & wattage than a barebones ITX just for it.
I've just heard enough horror stories of having to find the exact same build/firmware combo if the card should go and it was "bundled"(literally, stuffed under the styrofoam) for the same price I've seen other places selling just the enclosure. If I needed hardware raid performance instead of just more drive bays, I'd use a card I could buy locally that cost a sawbuck or two.
I just figured after we were on a name basis with some of them they would've reminded the watchdogs that there are legit distributers.
But you're right, the only time we ever saw a change was when we shipped a pallet(some good as new, some we would have written off) back to the manufacturer with 3 canceled ebay notices attached to the shipping papers.
Didn't have a problem with them again, but, as you say, we weren't big enough to do that to someone like Monster Cable(who is the great Satan anyway).
I used to work at an electronics retailer and we'd sell our returns on ebay(those that were functional, we had a lax return policy).
Despite being authorized distributers of the products we put on there, we had our accounts suspended several times by VeRO when one of the many third party watchdog services reported us erroneously. We usually had to track down somebody at the manufacturer and get them to fax "yes they can sell our stuff" to ebay.
And then a few weeks later, it'd happen again. Those watchdog services must get paid by # of items removed.
I just got a Storbox5 bay eSATA box(bring your own drives) for $200, so-so 2 port esata RAID card included.
I don't particularly trust the hardware raid card, but I wasn't planning on using the computer for anything else, so I've got it softraided. The fans are damn noisy, though.
You hit a small shop first to gain that legitmacy. The next place you sue(slightly larger), you show that you've succeeded in court before, and that either gets them to settle or influences the judge in deciding for you. You continue up the chain until you get smacked or start making serious money. If you get any resistance, you drop it as soon as possible and go on the next company. While you may have had success as an individual, most of these cases would either avoid you initially after you pushed back or smack you into the ground later through accumulated successes.
As for you reducing this discussion to teenagers stealing games, that is quite bizarre. Many of us are reliant on IP laws, whether to using hacks to get around the limitations(GPL, BSD, Creative Commons) or working in the system(standard copyright, extra rights/limits through contracts, etc).
I don't hate IP wholesale, I need it as a backdrop to the extra rights I grant those who use my software. Otherwise everything uses the WTFPL without the name change requirement. What I hate are those who take advantage of a system that is sorely out-of-date for purposes that contradict what the system was supposed to do.
USB stick/SD card with every live performance(including the one they just finished with you shouting in the background), studio take, or random noodling they just happened to record on the bus?
And truly, sound quality matters when you are listening to 90+ dB music in a club.
I mean, if you are ruining your hearing, you want it to be at least for high-quality reproductions of electronically distorted guitars and overly compressed cymbals.
Agreed, better radio can put a dent in CD sales. Terrestrial broadcast drove me to an mp3 player, things like Sirius and Slacker for blackberry is grabbing my attention more lately.
I don't know about you, but pressure around here is not a constant 1 ATM. Isn't it a bit odd to pick a value based on purely local conditions? I mean, you might as well use something equally crazy, like the freezing point of brine and human body temperature as your markers and divide them up into partions easily distinguishable by humans!
As long as the developer still has the human trait of assigning meanings to numbers, any major version X will have a gravity that version X-1.9.Z does not. Barring minor versions that happen to match up to pi, prime numbers, fibonacci sequences, etc.
Consciously or subconsciously, someone is saying "what happens next is different", otherwise they'd just make it a point release, or pick a different versioning system.
From a memetic point of view, this only makes sense. Any religion that believe offing yourself as fast as possible was a good idea would be like the Ebola of religions, wiping itself out before getting a good shot at jumping hosts.
Although, in this day of fast communication and semi-decent data retention, one could almost get away with it. Put up a website, start a trust to keep it going, put up a page consisting of "donate to our trust, then pop a cap in your head". Then read it.
It'd only catch the crazies without a better hook, but it'd probably keep the site going until the government where the site was hosted suffered revolution or nuclear war.
If you are a writer from that era, that was the only way you got paid. Budget money is spent on important stuff, like crew and equipment.
The unimportant people(writers and actors) got by with residuals until they became famous, and back then only people in front of the camera could really get famous.
Interesting that you associate blind commercialism with maturity and bandwidth that has no evidence of human attention with "untapped potential". Sometimes the bandwidth use is just the result of automated feedgrabbers who, like you, believe bandwidth is so cheap as to be free at any magnitude and so continue to download anything that is available in vague hope of hitting paydirt instead of using analytics to guide them to efficient use of capital.
The article made it clear the feeds have been dead, any possible readers unwanted, and the bandwidth could be put towards current feeds that demonstrate ROI(possibly even of a *gasp* nonfinancial nature). Bandwidth, while minimally expensive is not infinitesimally so. If there are no eyeballs there is no chance for ROI, move your capital elsewhere.
PS Did somebody DDOS your unmonitored feed aggregator after asking you to knock it off, or are you merely angry at your lack of interest in those expired domains you got at auction?
Funny... mine scrolls as fast or as slow as I move my finger. True, there isn't inertia, so it stops as soon as your finger loses contact. But it can scroll a lot faster than one with a trackball. Several of my coworkers have the kind with trackballs and it takes forever to scroll through EULAs when installing software for them.
Perhaps only in the legacy apps it acts like that? The Storm API gives you the touch points directly, not as up/down/etc.
And while it doesn't natively support pinch to zoom(Apple'd sue them, I assume), it does allow you to multiple points, ie use two fingers to select a range of emails.
Um, if said fictional person was to have insurance, you'd still be paying for his medical bills. Or at least if he had the same insurance company as you. That's how insurance works.
Really, there should just be one insurance company to spread the risk over the maximal pool. That there are insurance companies that can choose to insure only people who won't need their insurance is bizarre.

I've got some frostbite damage that agrees with him, sorry.

Isn't picric acid made safe by simply adding water? (opening in an anoxic atmosphere if necessary)
Does the coating work by dissolving slowly(instead of being an anticatalyst)? Use a pill cutter to crack them in half.

Photons don't slow, they redshift. You're probably thinking of the speed of light in non-vacuum.
That's essentially what SSDs are.

Their original products were PDA related. They didn't make navigation software until 96 and didn't make GPS devices until 2001/2-ish.

True, you can use a DS with gloves or a stylus when it is cold out.

arxiv is a scientific prepublishing server. Scientists put papers up there for reference/review.
The method does seem rather "a biologist's first try at encryption".
I can think of some unnatural religions.
Cthulhu ftaghn, RAmen!
It'd be like calamari in spaghetti sauce:)
