Your'e absolutely right. The entire audience should have been armed so that instead of one nutjob shooting there would also be tens or hundreds of people shooting wildly in all directions as they hear gunshots and see someone near them with a gun.
Whilst I'm not going to be rushing out and getting Win8 (in fact, I'll probably skip it entirely) I applaud this move.
First thing I do with a new Win7 machine I'm setting up (for me or others) is to turn off everything except Aero Peek. Instantly makes the machine feel much more responsive and much easier to see the important stuff. I haven't had a single person complain yet (or possibly even notice), including some who had been using the default settings before they got me to prep their machine.
My ISP (Internode) has been providing opt-in dual-stack support for at least a couple of years, and enabled it by default for all new customers in January. Internode currently have about 2% of their customer base on IPv6.
Note: if you go to that page and the logo is spinning, it means you've connected via IPv6.
I get a static/56 prefix (earlier when it was still considered a trial they gave a/64 that could change when you lost ADSL connection). My router (Billion 7800N) acts as a DHCPv6 server and everything is hunkey-dory except for one minor quibble - the router advertises the upstream DNSv6 servers instead of itself, so if you've done static MAC->IPv4 mapping in the router they won't be returned when a DNSv6 request is made. The fix there is to manually set the link-local address of the router as the DNSv6 server on each of the machines.
Do what I did - realise old laptop is no longer up to the job; notice Aldi has a laptop on special the next week at AU$600 with suitable specs (in particular, 8GB RAM); figure "I can return it for any reason within 60 days so might as well see if it's suitable"; grab the third of four available at the store; get it home; realise it has a matte screen; go "Woohoo!".
A couple of days later (following a fair bit of tweaking) I had a new work laptop that I'm very happy with.
Personally, I believe there should definitely be a legal impediment to watching re-runs of Seinfeld, but that's just because I think it's a crap show (and Jerry Seinfeld has nothing to do with comedy).
The fact that so many people like him is testament to why we need that legal impediment.
IIRC LM12 shipped with MATE 1.0, and it was explicitly said at the time that it was an early release and there would be issues.
I've been using LMDE update pack 4 (with the current version MATE 1.2) and apart from some things being named differently (e.g. pluma instead of gedit) I can't notice any significant difference from Gnome2. Well, except that it seems snappier (but some people have a different experience, so make of that what you will).
That really depended on the "murder". For example, one of my ancestors (the one whose surname I have) was tranported here for two "murders". In actuality, it appears he was involved in a riot in Ireland in which two people were killed, and he was convicted on that basis. Unfortunately, the records stop there due to the loss of records in Ireland around the time (riots, church burnings, etc).
In any case he made good - became foreman for the chain gang that built the road to Mrs Macquarie's Chair; got his Ticket o' Leave; married; bought a pub; got drunk a lot; bought several cows (one at a time)...
For me (and it's very much a personal preference)...
16:10 seems to fill my field of vision well both vertically and horizontally. With a 16:9 monitor my FOV feels squashed vertically.
I've just had a monitor die and was quite happy to pay a bit extra to get a Samsung S24A450BW 24" 1920x1200 monitor. Hopefully it will arrive today.
BTW, that monitor has several additional reasons to get it over cheaper ones - 3 year replacement for a single defective (dead or stuck) pixel, nearly full adjustment (height , tilt, pivot, but no swivel) and Samsungs amazing "Adaptor On Off 0W mode". I do like how they take the piss out of the "new" idea of having a mechanical on-off switch.
It's going to be a great monitor for Guild Wars 2.
You appear to be remarkably (willfully?) uninformed about this topic. Perhaps a Google search of the form: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=mosaid+csiro+-mosaic would enlighten you to the fact that MOSAID has absolutely zero to do with the CSIRO.
The only way they are related is that the CSIRO battle is mentioned as a precursor (and maybe an inspiration) to MOSAID (who do indeed appear to be patent trolls, unlike the CSIRO).
Before posting a link to this article, perhaps you should have read it. Ars is usually pretty good, but the fact that they allowed this incredibly biased piece of crap be published in their site makes me ashamed to go there.
There have been many good articles posted about the CSIRO's fight to get a reasonable royalty out of all these companies that agreed to pay one right at the beginning of the process. This is not one of them.
Huh? Haven't you ever evaluated software before? You draw up a list of requirements, then try to find the options that appear to meet those requirements, then start evaluating in some order.
In my case, since one of my requirements was not costing too much (though price consideration was fairly low on the list) and since the free apps were the most easily evaluated, I started with them.
As you will notice in my above post, I checked all the free ones "I could find in the Android marketplace".
Now, maybe some new ones have come out in the last month that are better than Jump Desktop. I don't know, although I've taken a squiz and didn't see anything that jumped out. What I do know is that at the time none of the free apps met my needs, and the $0.99 app did.
Because the free option does not meet my needs, and the paid option does.
I can cite one specific case off the top of my head. I looked at all the free VNC and RDP apps I could find in the Android marketplace. Not one met my needs - all were clunky to use, etc. I read up on the paid options and Jump Desktop ($0.99) sounded like it met my requirements - both RDP and VNC; and easy to use (though I never remember how to click-and-drag... give it time). I paid for it and am very happy I did so.
I've got karma to burn so sorry if my sense of humour doesn't gell with yours. I thought it was pretty bloody obvious that I was caricaturing, which is a form of exaggeration. Comedians do it all the time (not that I claim to be a comedian). But honestly I'm having a real hard time determining which of the posts in this off-topic thread are serious and which are tongue-in-cheek.
BTW there's plenty of evidence that Newton was a complete bastard who took credit for everything produced by his underlings. Much like both academia and the corporate world today.
What's this "readin'"? Readin' only leads to them gettin' edumacated, an' we don' want that! Cos then they might go an' learn stuff what the bible don' say.
Kids should be learnin' th' bible the only proper way - rote learnin' till they can quote a few select phrases what is gonna teach them infidels an' devil-worshippers the way o' the Lord!
I've been reading Anne McCaffrey since I first found "Dragonsong" and "To Ride Pegasus" in my school library in year 8 (~13 years old) - some 25 years ago. To this day Dragonsong is still my favourite of the Pern books. I spent the next few years hunting down and buying (with my very limited money at the time) every Anne McCaffrey book I could get my hands on. I still have all of them - I love seeing "RRP: $3.75"... I don't have every one of her books - I've missed some of each of the Ship books, Tower and Hive series, Peetaybee and Acorna. One of these days I need to fill in my collection, but with the price of books these days...
"Restoree" is possibly my favourite of her books. It's her first, and it has a rawness to it that I find very appealing. You can see the genesis of many of of the ideas that appeared in her later stories - for example the inhuman aliens that are so evident in several series.
Interestingly, I've been re-reading a random selection of her books the last few days - "Red Star Rising"; "Dragonsdawn"; "Dolphins of Pern" and "Pegasus in Space". It's one of the things I love about her writing - if you know the worlds she's built, you can pick up nearly any of her books and enjoy it in isolation. Less so for a tight series like "The Crystal Singer" though.

Or when the former employer really has nothing but good to say about you. It does happen (thanks mate!).
Your'e absolutely right. The entire audience should have been armed so that instead of one nutjob shooting there would also be tens or hundreds of people shooting wildly in all directions as they hear gunshots and see someone near them with a gun.
And all the bloodshed would have been avoided.

You're right, it was late ... I slipped.
Nah - the traditional method is to barbeque them.
It'll be cane toads all over again ...
Have you tried it with XBMC Eden and dirty regions enabled? In advancedsettings.xml:
Another combination to try is:
You must have a really crappy ISP if they're renumbering their IPv6 subnets.
My ISP (Internode) gives me a static /56 subnet.

Considering it's the Vodafail network, a 24-hour outage would be considered normal service.
