a. yes. not the bare threats bit, but the professional concern for a child's safety bit - that's their job. b. no: a signature on a coercive contract is void. Not open to challenge, simply VOID. Doubly so if the signature was obtained under duress. c. no, at least in England only the police would have that sort of authority to remove a child sans warrant or order for his own safety - if he could then show, within 72 hours, to a judges satisfaction that he had just cause to do so, at which point the CPS would then be handed custody under an interim care order. In the US the CPS have wider latitude but they would still require police presence to perform the actual removal (I think, I might be a little off on that).
looking at my Chrome install here, it has a 465MB footprint and is swallowing, on ONE tab (this one) 271MB of RAM. Opening another blank tab swallows another 34MB. 34MB OF RAM AND IT ISN'T EVEN DOING ANYTHING USEFUL TO ME YET. Kick up a page with Flash content, let's pick Youtube to be random, and the RAM charge goes with the addition of FOUR more app processes (Chrome is now spawned across nine processes!), up to 1.1GB!
my first offboard GPU was a 4MB Rage Pro - which I've still got, have since upgraded it to 8MB with the simple addition of a SODIMM. It read 16MB as 8MB and ran OK if slow, it read 8MB and ran as fast as with the base 4MB but was unstable as hell, so I did some hunting and found a 4 and used that.
if you're talking about 2009, yes there was a class action that was settled with a free product upgrade and partial reimbursement of data recovery costs: http://www.lieffcabraser.com/C...
Blades of Time had two rootkits. The nProtect Game Guard is a rootkit (ships with Alliance of Valiant Arms). VAC is both rootkit and spyware. The Steam client is as far as I'm concerned as a former PC technical support guru, scumware. To be removed with extreme prejudice.
I think you're trying to refer to Ada Lovelace, author of the first purpose-written computer algorithm (for Babbage's Analytical Engine). Linda Lovelace was a porn actress who died in a car crash.
An open network connection at a security conference. That's either a honeypot or a freebie. Were it me, I'd assume the latter, but I wouldn't be doing my online banking through it. If I were an attendee, I'd know better. If he's guilty of providing free internet service then people the world over who open their wifi connections are also guilty. I say, and cue the flaming for this, that data security starts and ends with the owner of the data. Take some fucking responsibility for yourself instead of relying on a Government that doesn't give a fuck about you, to do it for you. If anybody should be prosecuted for leaking data in clear text through an unencrypted radio stream (he was literally the guy on the next bench listening in on a shouted conversation, here!), then it should be the administrators of the websites that were visited for not using properly secured data channels such as SSL, endpoint encryption, tunnelling or whatever.
Heather Couper (astronomer, who (in keeping with the conversation) received a letter from the late, great Sir Patrick Moore when she was 16 that said, among other things, that being a girl would not be detrimental to a career in astronomy. That letter she read in its entirety at his memorial service.) Jocelyn Bell Burnell (made the first direct observation of a radio pulsar) Jane Goodall (primatologist) Hedy LaMarr (spare-time actress, primarily an inventor who gave us spread spectrum and randomised frequency hopping through her work on torpedo guidance systems) Marie Curie (chemist/physicist, first double Nobel winner and only double winner in two different fields) Merit-Ptah (earliest known named female physician) Aglaonike (Greek astronomer who developed an accurate mathematical model to predict eclipses) Mary the Jewess (invented the double boiler) Florence Nightingale (established the London School of Nursing and laid the framework for the NHS which wasn't to bear fruit until after her death)
There are MANY more. I don't get what the problem is except the *lack of public acknowledgement of women in science* which can be placed entirely on the shoulders of the Church.

now you're acting all fucking surprised when it turns out I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG??
FUCKING BITE ME.

The FUCK is going on here??
aftermarket parts are soooo hard to come by...
funny how they conveniently forget this little tidbit every. single. time.
says the one who didn't specify his setup and left the rest of us to assume his company had gone for the cheap option?
Fuck me.
yes. Right bar is fucked as well. Mine ends up at the bottom of the scroll.
FIX THIS SHIT, DICE!
To borrow from the KSP forum, that's "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly". Or, "explosions", to the uninitiated.
dude, that thing is barely specced for decent performance on Windows 7 Home Premium. You expect it to fly on 8?? You're dreaming.
my laptop runs Compiz Fusion just fince, thank you.
And it's an AMD APU.

yeah, name sounded familiar :)

wait... someone had the bright idea of having an application (a game, no less!) overwrite a vital system file??
That is just fucking insane if I read that correctly.

anyone else remember when a web browser baselined at 7MB and the average page loaded in less than four seconds?
The grammatical roadkill spewing forth lately is making my head hurt.
FHSS patent: 1942: http://www.google.com/patents/..., Lamarr/Antheil.
Wasn't actually implemented by the US Navy until after the patent expired.

depends on whether it was the Guardian, UK Column, Charlie Hebdo, or Marxism Today.
(apologies, Brian, just making the point).

ooh, interesting, and I stand corrected :)
I could name you one woman who is the master of BS, but I'm afraid I would wake up with my penis in a jar next to my head.
yes, that Hedy Lamarr. She gave us spread spectrum (which is why your computer works) and frequency hopping (which is why your cellphone works).
I can name:
Heather Couper (astronomer, who (in keeping with the conversation) received a letter from the late, great Sir Patrick Moore when she was 16 that said, among other things, that being a girl would not be detrimental to a career in astronomy. That letter she read in its entirety at his memorial service.)
Jocelyn Bell Burnell (made the first direct observation of a radio pulsar)
Jane Goodall (primatologist)
Hedy LaMarr (spare-time actress, primarily an inventor who gave us spread spectrum and randomised frequency hopping through her work on torpedo guidance systems)
Marie Curie (chemist/physicist, first double Nobel winner and only double winner in two different fields)
Merit-Ptah (earliest known named female physician)
Aglaonike (Greek astronomer who developed an accurate mathematical model to predict eclipses)
Mary the Jewess (invented the double boiler)
Florence Nightingale (established the London School of Nursing and laid the framework for the NHS which wasn't to bear fruit until after her death)
