Yes, yes they were.
You had to be in a small slice of ages to have gotten that spiel.
Yes, it was incorrect and based on bad science, however, it was taught in grade school.
Just because YOU didn't happen to get that schooling doesn't mean it didn't happen.
You are part of the fucking problem, eye witness reports are worth nothing to you, but a Facebook page is significant.
Fuck you, you little punk.
Don't you mean, "scenes" that add little or nothing to the plot of a movie but are obvious setups for games?
The new trilogy of Star Wars movies comes to mind. Pod racing, the droid factory scene, etc. were all OBVIOUS setups for games to the point they totally disrupted the action sequences.
That said, if you want high-art when you go see a movie, stop picking movies based on video games to go to. Duh.
Maybe, as an option with a white list for sites.
I say this, because Slashdot would be completely useless if there weren't options. It takes 90 seconds to load all the crap scripting in FireFox if there is more than 100 or so comments.
One of the nice things about using tabs, is one window can contain whatever slow-assed crap I am trying to pull up researching some dumb error or other. Having the tab do nothing while not being viewed would remove 99% of the usefulness of tabs.
That sure violates the "what if I get hit by a bus / win the lottery" rule.
It's also the point at which it makes Childs a jackass that deserves jail over "just doing my job."
A few minutes of talk and a phone call could have given him sufficient CYA and probably job security to fix what they break. He chose a power trip instead. Let him rot.
One might argue that government employees doing NOTHING is better than a government employee trying to do their job.
Boot-strappy intelligent independence right?
It's the ones that were actually doing their jobs that did the damage.
Or, you know, the greedy fuckwads handing all the frighteningly stupid loans, then bundling this tremendously high risk stuff together and selling it as "investments".
Somehow methinks porn was not the problem, or even a tiny part of the problem.
Whomever came up with this shit is an ass bleeding fucking moron.
I personally warned the rest of the company about the McAfee problem earlier this week because I was goofing off on Slashdot.
Saved countless hours of problems.
Besides, the IT department just wants the good porn to go into the shared collection and for the job to be done. If I am waiting for a long-ass process to happen and would otherwise be left picking my nose or jabbering at someone who is trying to work, a bit of down time with a browser is not a big deal.
Don't conflate sexual abuse and child pornography. The Wikimedia foundation obviously isn't involved in sexual abuse and doesn't tolerate or encourage it, and a lot of the images in question (perhaps all of them, I haven't checked) have nothing to do with the actual abuse of children. And if you're going to make claims about the destroying the "moral fabric of society" you should probably provide some evidence that something's actually changed.
There are still unbelievers! Some people don't follow jeeeesssuuuss!!!
How can you be responsible for killing someone that ran out in front of you when you were driving safely within the speed limit and taking necessary precautions when driving? Exactly, you're not responsible.
I don't know what legal jurisdiction you live in but anywhere I've ever driven in the US the driver is always responsible for hitting a pedestrian.
Around here, (in the US) you can get "Sudden Pedestrian Movement" tickets.
The purpose of the ticket is to get a record of "you should have looked dumbass" and serve as shield for liability.
In all cases I have heard it used, it's a municipal vehicle (cop, road crew, etc) that hits someone.
Sure, "failure to avoid an accident" still applies for the driver, but as a pedestrian you CAN get cited for it.
Red Bull, standard can; 250 mL of water (basically)or 250 grams.
9 MM hollow point, 115 grains is about 7 grams.
Throwing a can of Red Bull at someone and hitting carries approximately the same energy as a fast ball pitch. (Baseball 149 grams at 90 mph vs Red Bull 250 grams 60 mph or so.)
That's assault. And, people have been killed with the right hit in the right place with that force.
The Chinese should simply be cut off from the internet.
Anchor-drag their shit and pull up a couple hundred miles of fiber.
Then keep doing it as they repair stuff.
"Most favored" seems to be ineffective now days as far as holding their crap back. Maybe it's time to cut them off at their short little knees economically before their expansionist military catches up with their ability to make lead-laden rubber dog crap.
Ignore me while I quietly stroke my 800 gb jukebox of MP3 music. [whistles innocently]
And I am not the biggest hoarder I know, it's about third, maybe fourth in file size.
Music aside, my ideal laptop hard drive size is 100 to 200 gb. Enough for decent entertainment and with a boot device, to store all the re-install files needed to get back up and running.
This is completely unintelligible. iFrame is a legit and useful web design tool. Go back under your rock in your basement dude, there's some FORTRAN waiting for you there.
Go get a HOSTS file that blocks ads and keep it updated and pushed out on your network.
I see ZERO ads most days. When some new ad network annoys me, I go add it to my HOSTS file. The same thing can be done with the network DNS server without needing to modify machines.
Believe me, most people don't bitch (very much) about not seeing ads on the internet all of a sudden. They might be curious about it, but usually that's it.
It's faster than Vista on the _same_ hardware and has some very nice usability features in it.
Most of the IT department (who is allowed to make these sorts of decisions for themselves) where I work have started using Win7 as the primary on their workstations and they love it.
It runs everything they have needed it to run (except a shitty off brand printer that's about to get dumped).
Win7 is a win for Microsoft. They really got it right for once.
If you use FireFox and mess with the browser identification, things like Google Docs / Gears and some online editors (like WordPress, not WordPress, but LIKE Wordpress) won't work properly because they get obsessed with checking what you've got and don't try anyway.
That's the only situation I have found. And, I did it my dumb-self so it's not really something I'd blame the services for.
You are confusing "not caring" with live and let live.
Your posts come off as someone as someone actively and aggressively defending the practice of IE/Windows only.
In fact. I think you are a LIAR. Name those products by company, and name and we might believe you. Until then, you are a liar or a capitulator and need not be given any credibility.
I CANT WAIT for your undisciplined crotch-dropping to inflict his lack of discipline on the world in the form of sexual abuse of his peers, vandalism, drug use, and eventual death by DUI or whatever else he comes up with.
With any luck, the DUI will be vs. tree and not vs. school bus.
Or, you know, you could use a little skill called "parenting" and make the little twat knock it off.
You do have to undergo a criminal background check to buy firearms.
Only if you buy from a firearms dealer. Private sales require no background check or waiting period.
Yup, pretty much. Though, it is a crime to sell face-to-face to someone you have reasonable belief is not allowed to own a gun. So a smart seller will vett their potential buyers a little bit, at least to the point of asking if it's legal for them to own one.
If "investigating something" requires a gun, it's got a bid adrenaline dump with it that would have made it easy to put the gun away, clean the kitchen, and re-tile the bathroom.
He's lying about this. He had it out and was fooling around with it.
Please do not claim to be more educated about firearms while in the same paragraph call a gun magazine a "clip".
The risks of gun storage are as varied as storage methods, which are as varied as the need to get to it quickly.
Some people live in areas where though home invasion is rare-ish, when it DOES happen the occupants have one, maybe two seconds to decide what to do and execute the plan. Key locks, boxes, cable locks and unloaded weapons are just more loot for someone to take in that case.
Generally, these things are frauds. (Going to use the stronger term from "fake" as "fake" implies no financial harm to someone is possible.)
That said, if the exhaust or cooling system is used as the source of energy for the heating and pressurizing (rather than, say another pump) then you could get the energy for "free" as it's taken out of the downstream waste heat.
The coolant/pipes would just run a little cooler.
That said, it's bullshit. Their numbers are quite suspect. If tinkering with the injection got this kind of benefit, someone would have found it already. This is the equivalent of carburetor vs. fuel injection efficiency boost, we have already climbed pretty high up the efficiency curve into diminishing returns; making this claim complete crap.

By this retard's standards, post traumatic stress disorder is just plain weakness of the will.

You know shit about physics and bullets.

1.5 TB drives have just been advertised this week for less than $100.
For another 50 I can get a SATA (eSATA/USB) cradle that lets me hot-swap drives, to add as many as I want.
Tape has it's uses, small time backup for lots of data is not one of them.
This is completely unintelligible. iFrame is a legit and useful web design tool. Go back under your rock in your basement dude, there's some FORTRAN waiting for you there.

Unless this is new in the last two or three years, there is no such requirement.
I am pretty sure I would have heard about it, heck, it would have been discussion here on /. for the implications of data centers alone.
Generally, these things are frauds. (Going to use the stronger term from "fake" as "fake" implies no financial harm to someone is possible.)

The affected parties are different between the two types of crimes;
Robbing a bank is the equivalent of stealing from the FDIC.
Looting an account is the equivalent of emptying a cash register or wallet.
The "little guy" takes the hit in the latter case, whereas in the former, the direct hit gets absorbed by a larger entity.
Just try to get your money back from PayPal, or a phishing attack, or cloned debit card once to find out how "stuck" you are as the little guy.
