...and you'll never work another day in your life.
- Confucius
The reality of the situation is that you'll always find yourself doing something you hate, be it financial recordkeeping, slopping out the latrine or prepping the coffee machine for a hard day's thinking. Sometimes a drastic career change means starting at the bottom of the ladder again, bringing back memories of your first job at 16 fetching and carrying for the fat cunt in his leather chair, for minimum wage and zero gratitude. Deal with it.
Speaking for myself, I was never one to be sticking it to "The Man", I have always been "The Man", and will be "The Man" until the day I die.
douchebag or not, he is still entitled to due process. Is he really that much more of a scumbag than the guards at Auschwitz that he doesn't deserve a fair trial that they got? What, actually, is he accused of that's so heinous, so wrong, that the Great United States Justice Machine wants him locked up in one of their holes forever throw away the key fuck your trial fuck due process? Dotcom is due an apology, not a fucking court date.
in all fairness - bollocks. It doesn't matter how much of a cunt you are, or what you're accused of, when someone makes a claim against you the burden is upon them to prove their case, not on you to prove a negative. This is the entire basis of Western justice: innocent until PROVEN GUILTY. I could drive around with an image of a machine gun on my number plate, does that mean I'm off to shoot up a school? Fuck no, it means I know a little about guns. But in YOUR mind, I'm a crazed psychopath who should be in jail for something I've not even done! Who's the psychopath?
USB certification is 16ft 5in (5m) for bus powered USB2.0, unlimited (no certification available) for daisychained USB2.0 with hubs every 5m (I ran out of hubs after wiring an office up the kazoo, three walls 20, 30 and 15m a side), 38m (certified) USB2.0 boosted (not hubs). The hard limit is signal propagation. You can get around it if you're feeling inventive by hooking a USB endpair through a length of Cat5 STP, I've had a 75m signal run going with no issues. This WILL void all terminal equipment warranties! Source: experience
propagation of an electrical current through copper: I/piR^2eQ where R is half the diameter of the conductor (assume 0.1mm), e is the electric charge (per electron, in Coulombs, the constant of which is -1.6E-19C), Q is the number of mobile electrons per cc (assuming 1 per atom, that would be 8.5E22 for copper), and I is the current flow (assume 1A). The answer might shock you.
84mm/HOUR.
That's THREE INCHES.
What you're measuring with your ammeter is how wide the pipe is, if you think of an electrical current as the water flow in a pipe. What you're measuring with the voltmeter is the difference in potential (AKA the voltage between two points in a circuit). It is this potential which gives the illusory speed of an electric current which *seems* to be at or near the speed of light, but is in copper, in fact, somewhat less than 0.75c. Even a sea change takes time to propagate.
(I did this eleven years ago, she doesn't moan about my inordinate amount of time spent playing games now, she's on her facebook games 6 hours a day Now I wish I'd just gone and took up millinery).
it's high time you fucked off, bittorrent like any other tool is vulnerable to abuse, that doesn't mean it should be outlawed. Might as well outlaw cars, screwdrivers and hammers while you're at it since they've actually been used as offensive weapons to lethal effect on many occasions.
my figure comes from 2012 (EDF leaflet when they started touting for business inthe UK, didn't interest me since I was already on Scottish & Southern and had zero interest in saving 26p per year on my energy bill)
LEDs I'm OK with as long as they're HF pulse-driven arrays (such as the Cree) or regulated DC and 5800K-6000K. What I'm usually faced with in terms of CFL is the cheap bulbs that use magnetic ballasts, they flicker like buggery and set me right off almost immediately if I don't vacate the room - that's made job interviews problematic on occasion. The newer better quality ones still cause me problems (I still see the flicker) but it takes longer for headaches to trigger off those.
the national speed limit here is 70mph. You only really get that on an outbound clearway where there is no stationary traffic. Our busiest motorways average 30-50mph in real usage, if you're doing 70 there's likely nothing in front of you for at least a mile. The busiest road into London (the M4 through Brentford) has a permanent speed limit of 40 between the M25 Junction 4b (Heathrow Airport) and the Chiswick Flyover. There is no logical reason for that limit to be in place.
What does cause congestion though isn't speed limits so much as ANPR cameras. Drivers slow down when they spot these so's not to get booked, this causes tailbacks and incidents.
no, plenty of people will buy CFL lamps because candles are too dangerous in the environment where light is needed and incandescents are banned in the jurisdiction. Given free choice, I would go for incandescants every single time. I fucking hate CFLs, they give me serious headaches.
my old Ford got that, and that was a 75 P plate station wagon, 1298cc Kent Crossflow block (same engine used in the Pinto for the US market). Only topped at 86mph, but it got me where I needed to go.
(OK a lot of France's power comes from nuclear now (39%?), notwithstanding that twat Hollande's stated intention in January of this year to cut nuclear output by a third by 2035 with zero regard for what's going to replace it).

is it a coincidence that this launch is slated to take place just 24 hours before the rescheduled launch of the asteroid sample return mission?

presumption of innoccence is a maxim that has existed for over twelve hundred years, predating the police by CENTURIES.

this is just the bail prior the extradition hearing, they're not near to the copyright trial yet.
What's he going to do, swim to Tasmania?
I didn't use one, YMMV.

You're absolutely right. Get the decent expanding foam ones, they block shrill frequencies right out! :D

you haven't seen British drivers.

you forgot what powers those electric heaters.
Power plants.
