heh, I was going to post the same reply. They charged me about $250 to return an unopened switch (after I paid shipping) for a project where I had bought one too many. Sorry, that's food from the babies' mouths for a small business when Amazon does free returns.
It's a bet on all the subs coming in on spec. vs. ordering too little or too much. Better to not have to worry about such things, and arbitrary fees means worrying.
I do admire NewEgg's "never start a fight but always finish one" legal approach though. At least my restocking fees are going to good attorneys.
It's not 'assumed' any more than distance is assumed. Our universe has parameters. Light travels at a constant speed, or at a constant distance, or at a constant time - it's all the same, just different perspectives. Distance is a function of time or light, or lightspeed is a function of distance - these are just words the apes trip on as they're trying to understand reality in the terms of forests, railroads, and stars.
The one that drove it home for me was Avengers - I was really enjoying the movie until the climax battle scene when they went from augmentive CGI to immersive CGI, and it was just another giant snake-ship destroys NYC romp for fifteen minutes. I checked out after five. Any competent outsider could have saved them twenty million and turned out a tighter film - I was really disappointed Joss went in that direction. The trailer for #2 was so full of frenetic junk I just skipped it - friends say that was the right move.
I think I know why they do this, though. Really successful movies are usually both character-driven and spectacular. But bean-counters, who run Hollywood, only see the line-item for spectacle on their analyses. So they insist on spending it on the next movie because they see it brings in crowds - except when it doesn't.
Ah, well, we'll always have the art-house, especially after it's been fumigated for post-modernists.
That's stupid. Home Depot has a $100 safe with digital buttons that light in the dark and makes no sound when they're pressed. Of course you keep the semi loaded. Safety on if that's your thing. Keep the laser and safe batteries fresh.
They're safe - Mythbusters is off the air now. Then again, Jamie might take that offer of an occasional special after reading this morning's news. "I could kill somebody in a Volvo."
nobody is quite right here. HVM is slower than PV that uses hardware assist for virt (aka PVH in Xen terms). HVM can be faster than soft-PV with some hardware. Empirically, HVM has been less secure than PV (that floppy driver...). AMD is left behind with PVH, so YMMV.
one, I am not advocating anarchy, as it is obvious that people should not be free to do things that directly harm others.
That's not what anarchy means, derp The need to balance individual freedom against harm to others is obvious. Breaking a promise to someone else is harmful, but not so harmful that we throw people in jail for it. That same principle applies to sexual practices between consenting adults, duh. Take your moral dictatorship and shove it up your ass.
They cannot trace the transactions through the launderers, so they were left with physical assault/kidnapping/threats to get the information. That's news. Or at least propaganda to make us think they can't.
meaningless, constructed from a formula pulled out of some overpaid consultant's arsehole
The trick is, if one is to accept such formulae and conclusions, the DOT is responsible for wanton mass murder.
Most people don't see it that way. On the other hand, most people only care about intent, not outcomes. #thefeels
Somebody could probably put a similar headcount on the costs of driving VW out of business. Good luck with those retrospective, non-predictive, non-measurable calculations.
The ECHR doesn't actually have an effective enforcement mechanism, should a member state choose to ignore them.
Which is a wonderful arrangement for those in power - the subjects of those rules can point to the ECHR and believe there's some hope that their "rights" aren't fantasies. Otherwise they might start to say uncomfortable things.
Keep/home on luks, use a screen locker, and configure LastPass to remember the master password. It will tell you that's less secure. Yeah, for less likely attacks - spoofing predictable chrome has been around for more than a decade. x11 apps can already steal your passwords, so minimizing keyboard input of them is important until Wayland.
The surprise would be if a Class-whatever civilization that's building a Dyson Sphere hadn't already mastered self-assembling, self-replicating construction processes. There should be an exponential increase in the rate over time, if we haven't already missed that window. As the buildbots consume the planets, you just get more buildbots until the number is sufficient. Or if the sphere is to be made of the bots themselves then there's no need for a tail-off. Clarke called 'em monoliths when he had them eat Jupiter, but same idea.
Iran continues to enrich bomb-grade nuclear fuel in underground/concealed sites.
Of course they do - don't you remember when the voices inside Bush's head led him to declare Iran, Iraq, and North Korea "The Axis of Evil"?
The nuclear-armed two of those didn't get attacked. Iran saved itself from colonization. The country might be controlled by a group of sociopathic assholes, but their strategy played out according to plan. The dispassionate math of it says that they fared better than Iraq did -- despite the horrors of sanctions, the horrors of war are even worse.
We live in a screwed-up world where nuclear arms are the tools of peace. Because politicians are all-too eager to risk others' lives for their own power, but not their own. The US seems poised to elect still-crazier leaders for the next round. When John McAfee is the least-bad option you know things aren't looking bright.
If you think that doesn't work you have to accept that is because the majority doesn't agree with you. It is that simple.
You're seriously making the argument that because a government acts in a certain way, its subjects agree with it? It's too easy to even make a current list of countries that don't fit that pattern, much less spend pages on historical counter-examples.
The simple calculus is that in that situation the citizens only dislike their governments' behavior less than they dislike their odds of dying in a revolution. Eventually that changes. cf. Nero's Rome
The fatal flaw in the cycle is that once the governments get abusive enough, and they either finally collapse of their own weight or the citizens revolt, then the people make the mistake of instituting another government (because that worked out so well last time...). There have been a few notable exceptions (e.g. China c. 100AD, Iceland c. 800AD) which have led to centuries of peaceful and productive societies.
I've actually separated SSID's now for 2.4 and 5 GHz, as 2.4 is so much better unless large file transfers are about to happen near the AP.
One SSID I have that only rides a VPN out doesn't even get an instance on the 5GHz radio as the local speed difference is not significant.
These new discrete amps are supposed to make it somwwhat better, but, I dunno - if you need tremendous wireless speed far away such that you're willing to setup LACP and all that to backhail it, maybe you can also put an AP nearer the client or put up with "only" a gigabit? The market seems small for using all the features at once.
Um, yeah, we want the distros to get patches out before full-disclosure.
In this case, it's not just DiceDot being slow. We can come back tomorrow for the story about all the Nest thermostats failing today and bitch about it then.
I wonder if the legal framework between the two countries prevents third-party extradition (which could be used as a mechanism for future problem-solving). Curious that it hasn't been leaked.
Don't blame Javascript or Node... read (or listen to Gibson narrate) the email exchange between Google and TM on their vulnerabilities - it's enough to make you want to never trust a word out of TM for the rest of time. It's astonishing how bad the product was and even more astonishing how they handled it. No, worse.

Yet, the released "fix" still has the same hard-coded string in it. There's been speculation that they just added port-knocking.
The company is effectively dead to anybody doing real security. If they got an RSA-style payment, I wonder who's liable to the shareholders.

speaking of derp ... thanks mobile gui.
not so harmful that we throw people in jail for it. That same principle applies to sexual practices between consenting adults, duh.
why the sexual hangup? why not every consensual interaction?
Take your moral dictatorship and shove it up your ass.
so moral monopolies are bad but legal ones are good? Try for consistency dude.

yeah, "highly inflationary fiat currencies" is already in wide use and more descriptive. We're not talking about cutting Doubloons here.
I doubt any of it will be reflected in the vote though. Eh, whatever...
Right - voting is just there to fool you into thinking you have some semblance of voice/choice. Meanwhile ...
