It's ironic that a man who works for an organization that uses the same business model: paying protection money so nothing bad happens to himself or his property, just had something bad happen to him for not paying a different organization protection money.
Are you suggesting that MacAfee has been creating viruses? Because you're comparing it to an organization that is both the 'problem' and the 'solution'.
You don't need a fresh UI. You need a good UI, and then you need to stick with it.
They must've hired somebody from the fashion world to run the department there. Or more likely the article is wrong. They can't be so dumb as to try to use a single UI for desktop and mobile.
User Interface Design is a real science, not an exercise in design. They wouldn't let an intern write the Javascript JIT in VisualBasic, right?
It seems that allowing cable companies to purchase content providers wasn't a good idea after all. Oh wait, that's what everyone except the FCC said already.
The point of the FCC* is to protect the business models of the incumbents from the free market. They pay well for that. What else would you expect, allowing competition?
I don't think I've used Intel or AMD-supplied thermal paste in 10 years - I haven't done the precise math, but I assume I make it back on the electric bill over time by using less active cooling energy. And I rarely overclock anything.
However, overclockers would probably be better off with the Sandy Bridge hardware.
At the same clock, probably, but with the die shrink, Ivy Bridge should get better performance per watt than the Sandy Bridge OC'd to the same power. I may be making the silly assumption that OC is still about getting more performance and not just pushing hardware beyond its limits.
How Intel prices those isn't directly relevant to their performance, of course, since Ivy Bridge is the "new hotness".
My link was the vote on changes that the Senate made, thus the last house vote on the final version of NDAA.
Right, that's the conference committee report. The Senate did not remove the indefinite detention of American citizens because the administration threatened a veto if it did.
If you want to make the argument that Ron Paul should have canceled all of his campaign events for the week, just before the NH primary, to sit in Washington awaiting the call for vote on the conference committee report, but he didn't, and therefore he supports indefinite detention, despite his previous vote against the bill and his bill to repeal those provisions, then fine.
But few will support such an argument.
If that's not the point you're trying to make, please be more specific.
Which do we believe. The official house roll call or your link?
Your link is to a conference report vote. My link is to the vote on the bill. Follow the House Clerk's site to the actual vote on the bill - OpenCongress is very reputable, I'm sure they'll match up.
It's actually a labor issue. I talked this over last month with an engineer who's studied the various methods.
For a given area of land (they got this right) and given a market viable labor cost the modern farming techniques are more profitable and can produce more food.
But, if the cost of labor is factored out, the organic techniques, using intensive agriculture methods, are actually the better producers. I'm changing to this method on our farm this year as our labor is supplied by the family.
It's hard to expand beyond the family farm because a legal farm hand's cost breaks the profitability (address cost of living problems in the US if you want more organic food). Now then, let's compare the cost of labor in the US to the cost of labor in some countries where people live on $1.30 a day. Then things start to get more interesting.
Part of the problem is the way we're mechanized. It's nobody's fault, but the 19th century machines have driven our methods. When we have AI-guided robots to pick vegetables in the US, the equation may swing back the other way.
The nitrogen cycle problems can be solved with the right kinds of natural fixers, but you have to calculate, plan, and rotate. Anybody who wants to try this should spend $11 on this book - the author has worked out all the tables and methods through trial-and-error and engineering approaches (it's a full-color/full-sized well-made book - I'd have expected this to go for $28 at a book store - I think the author just wants it out there).
Or more simply put, you're either wrong or deliberately misrepresenting his positions. Of course we all know that secretly corporations know that libertarians would be good for them, but they never support libertarian candidates as a clever way to hide that fact. Right?
Like most matters involving interpersonal preferences, there is no objective answer.
It may not be objective, but the vast bulk of society has agreed that torturing somebody every day for 20 years is a worse crime than 'simply' killing them. See the Geneva Conventions for one example of how this is codified.
The law also states that you must be told in simple language WHY YOU ARE BEING ARRESTED. Simply having the thug in blue announce "that's it, you're under arrest" is not valid.
It's not valid, but it's sufficient to get you a "resisting arrest" charge if you don't 100% capitulate (or the cop claims you didn't and you don't have video), should the prosecutor and judge see fit (which may or may not involve corruption).
The police officer will get official immunity for his invalid arrest, but simply because you've been targeted, you are now guilty of a crime.
He wasn't voting today because he's at his home with his advisers who are plotting their (succeeding) delegates strategy to challenge Romney for the Republican nomination, so Paul can end the wars and all of the abuses of the Executive Branch (TSA, et. al.), de-fang the Federal Reserve (i.e. stop breaking the economy), veto bad legislation like CISPA, and return the country to a system based on Rule of Law.
But, yeah, he didn't cast this one vote. You'll have to decide if that's abrogation of duty or not.
but how about a cite for your assertion that his admin insisted on those provisions?
sigh, undoing moderation since it looks like not enough people are aware of this.
I mean, of course it wasn't covered in the corporate news media, but all the independent media couldn't stop talking about it a few months ago (hence the GP probably assumed everybody here knew).
If you're going to track just one independent writer, make it Glen Greenwald. Then maybe add in the Democracy Now podcast, and at least see what Lew Rockwell, RT, Infowars (but skip any by Alex Jones!) and Al Jazeera are writing about, etc. None of them are The Truth, but neither is the NYT/WP/LAT syndicate.
It is, indeed, quite likely that we are unique. This isn't an argument that life doesn't exist elsewhere, just that it will be different.
I doubt there's anybody who will argue that there exists another Earth out there. Probably other ribo-nucleic-acid lifeforms, and not unlikely convergent evolution where similar conditions exist, but the argument that the hubristic people make is that Earth is the only planet with complex/intelligent life (because to think they're one of billions in a universe with billions of billions is too much to handle).
Personally, I just think about how many stars there are--especially in light of how many planets we are finding--and I can't help thinking life is common.
They say there are more planets in the Universe than there are grains of sands on all the beaches on Earth.
Oh, but it's most likely that we're unique among them all? All the geo/helio/etc.-centrisms are just human hubris projected upon the known world.
Slashdot Mirror
mcafee the company, duh! (have you been living under a rock)
They're more clever than SPECTRE then, carefully evading all scrutiny for the past two decades.
I'm happy to look at any evidence to the contrary, of course.

Which part of IPv6 fixes the ISP's ToS about running servers 'at home'?

Too bad. Because now they have neither from me, and now they have me actively telling other people to cancel.
Yeah, good luck with that. They don't call it the "idiot box" for nothing.
Oops. Guess Comcast didn't think that through!
I'm sure they have a 200-page financial forecast backing this one. You lose, megalo-corporation wins. News at 11 (oh, wait, no they own the news).

* substitute your favorite government agency
so they decide to use worse thermal paste stuff?
I don't think I've used Intel or AMD-supplied thermal paste in 10 years - I haven't done the precise math, but I assume I make it back on the electric bill over time by using less active cooling energy. And I rarely overclock anything.
Intel need to do something about the CPU package before going to higher frequencies
This is the story of die shrink - more performance per area, less heat per performance, but more heat per area.
I remember when my 486's ran without any passive (much less active) cooling at all. Today even my Atoms struggle with passive cooling solutions.
However, overclockers would probably be better off with the Sandy Bridge hardware.
At the same clock, probably, but with the die shrink, Ivy Bridge should get better performance per watt than the Sandy Bridge OC'd to the same power. I may be making the silly assumption that OC is still about getting more performance and not just pushing hardware beyond its limits.

Why aren't the armed forces supplying it in the same manner as this gentleman?
The military budget is insufficient, duh.
During EEG flatline, nothing referencing any sort of cognition can be brought into the discussion from a naturalistic perspective
Are you suggesting that people who have NDE's have supernatural memory engrams about it?

Your link is to a conference report vote. My link is to the vote on the bill. Follow the House Clerk's site to the actual vote on the bill - OpenCongress is very reputable, I'm sure they'll match up.
Would you like to tell me how Ron Paul Voted on NDAA? I hear that was a pretty important bill.
Nay. What else would you expect?
Here's him introducing the bill to repeal indefinite detentions.
It's actually a labor issue. I talked this over last month with an engineer who's studied the various methods.
For a given area of land (they got this right) and given a market viable labor cost the modern farming techniques are more profitable and can produce more food.

Ron Paul has other fleas, like being a big corporatist himself
Only if you contort the meaning of 'corporatist' to something that most people don't mean.
Or more simply put, you're either wrong or deliberately misrepresenting his positions. Of course we all know that secretly corporations know that libertarians would be good for them, but they never support libertarian candidates as a clever way to hide that fact. Right?

The police officer will get official immunity for his invalid arrest, but simply because you've been targeted, you are now guilty of a crime.
This is what a Police State looks like.
In fact when important voltes like this come up, here is no where to be seen
Since you know these facts, please cite 5 additional important votes like these where he wasn't present.
'Cause, you know, he might be vacationing in Tahiti, or.
Actions speak louder than words.
He wasn't voting today because he's at his home with his advisers who are plotting their (succeeding) delegates strategy to challenge Romney for the Republican nomination, so Paul can end the wars and all of the abuses of the Executive Branch (TSA, et. al.), de-fang the Federal Reserve (i.e. stop breaking the economy), veto bad legislation like CISPA, and return the country to a system based on Rule of Law.

Yeah, it's a slashvertisement. A friend of mine celebrated by switching to Fedora today.
