I thought the community was much improved when the hardcore PvP guys quit in disgust after the PvP system was changed from the retarded two-hit gankfest where there were maybe half a dozen viable builds to something where fights can actually mean something. Clearly if you're only PvPing because you like to grief it's a terrible system: your target frequently has a chance to fight back, but if you like PvP for the sake of battles then it's much improved.
To be fair, all of the European rail systems lose money hand over fist as well, it's just that their governments are actually willing to fund them and as a result they have a highly useful, if somewhat expensive, system. If environmental costs were added to all forms of travel (Carbon tax), then rail would be more competitive, but only because all forms of travel would be more expensive (especially cars and planes).
Does it seem premature to declare this the savior of our energy troubles before you have even put up a single test/prototype site? What are the technical hurdles? How do you transmit the power from the middle of the ocean to Kansas efficiently? What happens in rough seas? Land based wind power has been hamstrung by NIMBY folks blocking all attempts to build high tension transmission wires from the windmills to the population centers already, and the land there is mostly large commercial farms. I can't imagine how much worse it would be over the highly populated coastlines.
It's certainly not because they both want to compete at a very lucrative price point, nor is it the case that they have various cards at different price points (which also compete with each other). This is a clear case of market manipulation, call the FTC!
Probably because they own these datacenters and can do what they want with them. The EM emissions are probably contained by the fact that the servers are all in a giant metal box. UL is optional, and if they don't want to go through it they don't have to. It's not like they're selling these servers to anyone.
My guess is that one reason it costs $100k per plane to install this system is that part of the installation is doing the tests to insure that 802.11 doesn't interfere with any of the plane's systems.
It's a good thing that the guy in 4a has absolutely no chance of having any porn on his laptop already, or one of the Playboy's they sell at the airport newsstand.
Part of what you're describing is ECC memory. It used to be easier to get, but these days it seems like none of the popular chipsets support it outside of the big expensive server environment.
The reason you don't see it anymore is cost. People decided they wanted to save 20% (or more, since ECC was "server class" memory, the prices were typically marked up quite a bit more than consumer class stuff) on their memory and bought nothing but non-parity stuff. The last machine I was able to get ECC memory on was a Pentium II-400, and even then it was getting hard to find.
In practice, I think memory errors are rare enough (on the order of a bit a year) that consumers probably made a wise choice. Still, I remember working in data centers and accidentally turning off the "Corrected Single Bit Error" message filtering on our log reporter once. The flood of messages I got as a result was a bit of an eye opener. Of course this was over literally thousands of DIMMs, so getting 10-20 a day gives you some perspective.
My experience with PAE is that if it works for you great, but there are a lot of places where trying to use it can cause crashes/slowdowns, especially if you have non-vanilla hardware and whatever limited driver support comes with it. If you want to use it, you had better be prepared to dump pieces of hardware until you find ones that are stable (this can include your motherboard BTW!). Luckily most server class motherboards are ok.
The upshot is that you're far better off running a true 64 bit OS instead of trying to use PAE in most circumstances.
Yeah, in your case an el-cheapo cell is the right product.
I, on the other hand, have found the ability to search Google on the fly to be an amazing feature. The built-in Google Maps support has been a lifesaver too. The App Store has been a real treat as well.
I have a first gen iPhone that I unlocked and stuck a T-Mobile sim into. The only feature that doesn't work is the Visual Voicemail, but the phone has a non-visual voicemail mode that works perfectly fine (it's not like it locks up or anything, the phone just automatically dials in to your voice mailbox when you hit the voicemail button). The only other caveat is that if you turn the phone off and then back on, you will have to go and listen to the voicemail to clear the "new voicemail" indicator.
It's kind of lame to be told "Your Demographic is not profitable enough, we don't want to cater to you anymore". This is the mentality that's killing music.
I think you missed one tidbit about the end. A good three quarters of Doc's story is the series of events that leads up to his self imposed exile on Mars, events that were engineered by Adrian to make sure he wasn't around to stop his plan from going through. Doc M didn't get back to Earth until it was too late, and although he can see backwards and forwards in time (unless he's being jammed, as he was in the movie), he can't actually travel back and forth in time to change any outcomes.
To be fair, the ending is actually a fair bit different than the one in the Graphic Novel, but it captures the major themes quite well. The ending from the GN would have never worked on the big screen, not only from an FX perspective, but also because the movie cut nearly all of the elements of the GN that were tied into that ending (except strangely for Adrian's Cat, who feels positively out of place in the movie).
Isn't this entire thread an example of people pointing out--well, it's not really bigotry but I'll go with that word since you used it? Seriously, have you read through all of the comments and made a note at how everybody is agreeing with what a select few jackholes in Texas are up to? I guess if that is the case then we can't criticize religious oppression in other countries now. Sorry world, a mistake on our part has rendered all forms of critique moot, please go on raping, pillaging, enslaving, and whatever else you do in the name of religion.
I've always assumed that creationists were a fairly small minority, but one that is devoted enough (and just large enough) to get enough people to show up for things like School board elections (which is a tiny number of people) and get elected. Once there, they get to exercise disproportionate power over the entire teaching process.
I've also come to believe that a lot of them don't actually believe in Creationism themselves, but they see Evolution as a sort of Moral Corrosive, and that if you let your children be taught it that society will collapse from the rampant moral decay.
Dead laser diodes have been a problem on the Playstation platform going back all the way to the original PSx models. Probably the most common cause of failure outside of perhaps the spindle motor. That said, it's typically considered a risk of owning the system so you don't get a lot of press coverage over it. Plus, the PSx and PS2 were both cheap enough that if the thing crapped out after 3 or 4 years of play, it wouldn't break the bank to replace it, especially since you'd be buying one of the considerably cheaper late model versions.
I've long wondered how much of the PS2s strong sales numbers are coming from people who are replacing old broken ones.
Or it's the same old groups of hackers improving their work collaboratively over the years in a constant evolution of malware. The assumption that just because something is more complex than usual and therefore must be the work of some criminal mastermind doesn't necessarily hold true IMHO.
That's an endemic problem with Metric IMHO. Because of the factor of 10 scaling used all over the place there are a lot of cases where the units are either exceedingly tiny for human scale work, or so large that they are unwieldy. Imperial units tend to get really messy on non-human scale work, but metric was clearly designed by people who want to make equations easier, not ones who actually build stuff day in and day out.
I don't even know how many ml there are in a tablespoon.
Except that they aren't really randomly selected. Both lawyers get a chance to ask the pool of candidates any questions they want and attempt to stack the jury as much as they can. If one lawyer is good and the other isn't, then your chances of getting a fair trial are already diminished.

CoH is rated T for Teen. A ToS that prohibited anyone under 18 would be counterproductive.

The term 'unnatural religions' just makes me think 'Scientology'.
