if he did cure cancer, I'm sure he would be prohibited by law from selling it to anyone - like in England, for instance, where he'd run afoul of the Cancer Act 1939.
you're not pushing it that hard, then. I have to reimage every six months or it gets too sluggish. A lot of what I do requires low latency, and a platform fighting a fragmented hard drive (not just files, but the page file as well - people forget about that, but when that gets fragmented - which it absolutely will even if all you're doing is editing photos) doesn't do me any favours.
had one similar, it used a VIA C3 processor (800MHz) and desktop SDRAM, gap where a battery would be and a 14" LCD. Only cost me £140 new, I was pretty impressed with it considering a new laptop with laptop-specced components back then to a similar specification would have set me back over a grand.
there is a cable from SFF8087 (SAS) to 4x SATA/eSATA data, whether it'd work "backwards (ie from a SAS controller deck to the consoles) is another question.
he isn't, because he's probably aware that "X-Box" and "Playstation" are trademarks. "Playbox" probably isn't. In fact, it'd be laughed out of court if either Microsoft or Sony claimed "Playbox" infringed on either trademark.
American football fields are regulation 120 yards long including the end zones. Canadian football fields are 130 yards. Soccer fields are 100-120 yards (yes, the FIFA regulations have that miuch latitude). You could actually chalk a soccer pitch on an American football field without marking down the length of the pitch and be FIFA legal.
I got that when my son was up a tree and some git was having a go at me for letting him. I should point out that my son was wearing a chest harness and helping me (I was also up the tree, also harnessed and in fact counterweighted to my son) repair his treehouse.
same here, sans snap-pack. Weekends and school holidays, I'd be out at the crack of chicken and back in when it got dark. It was a bad day when I didn't come back caked in mud. Long weekends and week-long holidays when we didn't have day trips planned, I'd take a fishing rod, camo roll and a camp bed and rough it with some friends for a couple days. It's what ten year olds did in 1985. Hell we even had (gasp) lock knives and slingshots.
according to the Office for National Statistics (a UK Government department), a child is 4 times more likely to die violently in State care than not in State care. That probability is borne out by raw data: 11.5 million children in the UK, 106,000 in State care. Of the 328 children to die violently in England in 2011, 14 died at the hands of State-appointed caregivers who were not biologically related - two of those social workers and one serving police officer. NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON was prosecuted for any of those 14 deaths, yet plenty of people were prosecuted for the other 314.
Kids speak Patois, Street, and IM Text. They fare dodge on buses and trains. Often in groups of between 4 and 10. They are avid shop(p/lift)ers. A lot of them have more than one dad, and unfeasibly extended networks of cousins and uncles. Most of whom have an unhealthy attachment to Mummy.
Adult supervision? Only if you're a Bluestrap or a Suit. WARNING.
in 1936 the Children and Young Persons Act divested English mothers of parental rights, legally making fathers the de facto heads of households and sole legal guardians of their children. On October 31 1991, the Children Act 1989 came into force, with a line that divested English fathers of parental rights and making children legal orphans due to the fact that it did not restore parental rights to mothers.
Children do belong to the State. They are property, and if the State don't consider you as a suitable caregiver for their brood, they will remove them. You are fucked from day 1, and when the State come for your biological offspring, pretty much guarantee that some dirty old bastard will be fucking them before long as well.

Heroin used be legal, until someone decided they could make more money selling synthetics.
yes, I see that now, having read from source (the Windows blog).

I would rather chew off my own foot.
Or, rather less potentially painfully, simply install Linux.
according to "Dangerous Days", Hauer adlibbed that entire scene, including the dove.
Time... to die.

I'll second that, 2K was a lot better than xp. I still use it for my CCTV.

first sale doctrine applies: you OWN the console hardware, you're not renting it, you can do what the fuck you want to it. Even resell it.
yeah got that here as well - on both sides.
FIX THIS SHIT, DICE!
don't, I still have flashbacks.

yeah, my primary school walk was a mile each way, secondary school was two miles and college four and a half. Walked 'em all.
