And the Tiger used such bleeding edge technology and parts not in common with other German tanks, it quite often was lost due to breakdowns and lack of spare parts before it even saw battle.
The first models they rushed out to Kursk were catching fire on the battlefield!
Heavy power usage at off peak times is one of the best signs somebody is running a grow-op in their basement. I wonder if your heavy power usage at night will bring a friendly visit by black clad ATF members with sledgehammers and automatic weapons?
Of course it is about revenue; that is why you see local cops from towns many miles away chasing out of state cars on the freeway. Its all a scam.
My solution is to see all ticket revenue donated dollar for dollar to the UN. Then they can write all the tickets they want without any revenue generation conflict of interest.
Any DRM system is only as good as the weakest link in the chain. BD+ doesn't have to be broken, only one link in the chain and the whole thing falls apart. You just need a little HDCP stripper box between the legal blue ray player, and whatever you are using to copy. And there is now no physical way to invalidate the keys in the HDCP stripper box. They box could identify itself with an infinite number of working keys generated each time it is powered up. As mentioned in an earlier thread, the unencrypted raw stream can then be recompressed/encoded into any desired format. (Including BD+ and AACS free Bluray) As mentioned earlier, any good HW engineering student armed with the specs and an FGPA could make one.
The only way to stop this would be to start over with a new master key, which would brick every existing HDCP encumbered piece of hardware out there.
The only people who take the bible as literal truth are the ones who either haven't read it all, or can't remember it all at once.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. I have read the Bible several times, and happen to have a pretty good memory on the contents. I also take it as literal truth. Now, I do distinguish between the literal meanings and the figurative ones, but I think those are pretty self explanatory. E.G. The four horsemen of the apocalypse, I don't believe there are 4 literal horseman riding around the earth spreading pestilence, war, famine and death. It means that there will be times of pestilence, war, famine and death.
I can't imagine how any sane individual with even a trivial background in zoology could believe the literal story of Noah's Ark - how viable breeding populations of millions of species, many of which depend on rare and unique habitats for survival were collected from all over the world by Noah and his family, even the most remote places. (Hint: Inaccessible Island lives up to its name, even today) They somehow kept them alive for 40 days on a boat with bronze age technology. (Some of the reptiles I keep require special UVB lighting - I wonder where Noah found that?) They were then released and hopped, crawled and wiggled their way back to their homelands leaving no descendent's on the way, and somehow their environment wasn't destroyed by being submerged all that time. For example, the kangaroos all hopped back to Australia leaving no trace en route, and somehow found eucalyptus trees to chew on, (what did they eat during the return journey?) even though the whole continent had been underwater, and their food source should have been wiped out.
And what of all the freshwater fish? They should have been wiped out too when the salty seas flooded their lakes and rivers. Or did Noah's boat also include super size aquarium facilities as well?
I wonder who got the sh*t job of scouring the planet for the 15000 species of butterfly or the 8800 species of ant they eventually took on board Noah’s Ark. But at least we got that magical rainbow for all their trouble. - Azura Skye
Except in the most developed and industrialized countries such as Japan and Sweden, the birth rate has fallen so far, they worry they may actually go extinct in a couple of centuries.
Bet $1Billion you will get an F, then don't show up for the exam. For that kind of sum I won't bother repeating the year - in fact, I won't bother even going back to school.
I use C++ for all my development, with a small smattering of perl. Learning Python is on my TODO list. Never touched C# and have no interest in learning a MS platform only language.

Until 2 years ago, I was working at a place where embedded and DSP developers were using pure C - C++ was forbidden.
I'm a shaking in fear at this bronze age nonsense. Its depressing that anybody still takes this ancient fairy tale seriously in 2010. It is exactly the twisted line of (non) thinking that misled brainwashed zealots to crash planes into buildings and blow themselves up in crowded places so they can live again in their imaginary after death paradise as a reward for killing non-believers.
You shouldn't be posting on the internet which is a product of our heathen scientists and engineers - you should be walking around in hand spun clothes writing your views on clay tablets and papyrus.

That would make Canada's opposition liberals laugh quite loudly; The conservatives have insisted the F35 purchase is a done deal.
They had no problem taking one out with comparatively primitive weapons in the former Yugoslavia

Didn't Saddam invade Kuwait because he couldn't afford to replay them his loans for the Iran/Iraq war?
That would be strange.

In school I used to play board games such as Squad Leader, Axis & Allies, etcetera and of course somebody always ended up playing the bad guys.

I remember playing with that machine way back in the early days of the science centre - I didn't think anybody else on the planet even remembered it.
I doubt that Philips would have done a one off project like that - it probably would have been subcontracted to a small, local engineering firm.
What else? Large bribe.. err "campaign donations".
