This is why I love Michigan. While you can't kick squatters to the curb without an eviction (at least 45 days to get all that done), home invaders can be killed with whatever's convenient, so long as you kill them before they get a chance to leave.
I saw an all electric vehicle once. It was crazy. I was replacing the water pump on my 1996 Geo Prism in a restaurant parking lot that was next door to a hooker hotel (literally, a hotel frequented mostly by hookers). When I looked up, there were ten SWAT guys jumping out of a black APC-looking thing. Fully armored, the works. I never even heard it pull up and I was only 20 feet away. I was talking to one of the cops after the SWAT truck left (the crime scene still had to be taken care of, and the criminals carted off in regular cop cars), and she said that it was all-electric and just wonderful for serving no-knock search warrants on drug dealers. They never get the chance to flush. So I guess the noiselessness might actually be an advantage in some circumstances.
The real question is: does where Obama was born even matter? That's why I don't understand the birthplace conspiracy theorists. I mean, the Constitution's Natural Born Citizen requirement just means not a Naturalized Citizen. Obama's mother was a US citizen at his birth, so Obama was born a citizen regardless of where he was born, so what's the big deal?
It's my understanding that Python and Ruby were created to solve the problem of Perl being amazingly difficult to read (think, gratuitous use of regex). Perl was created to solve the problem of not having a ridiculously powerful scripting language in Unix. Having learned Perl, Python and bash, I find Perl to be quite a joy to use, so long as regular expression use is kept to a minimum. Python can just hurry up and die with it's retarded indents. Bash just isn't powerful enough as a scripting language to get anything really serious done (although for many scripting needs, it's still the best choice).
In case it still seems a bit fuzzy as to why you would need a scripting language that's as powerful as C/C++/Java/whatever-real-language-you-like, just try mocking up something that handles text files quickly in C/C++/whatever and then do it in Perl/Python. It takes half the time, half the effort and half the code.
I'm going to go with "like piss." Deep sea and arctic sea creatures tend to have significant amounts of ammonia in their flesh, thus making them quite nasty. Thus the reason the Japanese haven't started fishing for giant squid.
First, from what you just said, it's was probably your monitor cable that was bad. You probably didn't send it when you warrantied the monitor and kept on using it. One cable, different computers, different graphics cards, different monitors, all with green tint. Cable.
Anyway, as with any large corporation, their monitor manufacturing and smart phone divisions are separate entities, and the phone division is pretty fricken good, particularly when it comes to the N900.
Holy crap: ignorance. And, I know, I know, I shouldn't feed the trolls. Filesystems in Linux are mounted whereever you want them to be. So the C: drive equivalent is '/'. 'du' can be used to get a quick overview of freespace, that is, the free space, both as a percentage and in hard numbers, of every mounted drive and where the drive is mounted, all in one magic command. 'ls -a' gives you the individual filesizes, as can 'df', which is also recursive.
RAID on Windows blows a nut compared to RAID on Linux. On Linux, you can install hard drives of any size, at any time, and use them in any arrangement with Linux RAID. Linux also supports more raidlevels than Windows, with RAIDs 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, and combinations of those levels. You can use any actual hardware RAID card you want. (Do not confuse hardware RAID cards, which are very expensive and usually SCSI, with cheap software raid cards which have a setup and recovery BIOS on the card but require a special driver that uses your processor to do the actual work in order to get around the fact that only server versions (for the most part) of Windows can do software RAID. There's no point in supporting this kind of RAID card specifically on Linux, as it's just software RAID anyway, and Linux can already do that.)
Not true, not true. Alaska doesn't accept any federal roadway funding (although they still get highway funding for the interstate system, IIRC). This is because Alaska's alcohol age limit is 19 and not 21, which disqualifies them. It's done because the taxes generating by taxing alcohol consumed by 19 and 20 year-olds s greater than the funding they would receive, probably because of their low population.
Also, several states have turned down money at different points so they could do similar things. Colorado had speed-limitless roads for a while, and a couple of other states have had less-ridiculous-than-federally-mandated drunk driving and alcohol age limit laws at different points in time (like Michigan for a few years in the 70's.).
What? No. All speed limits are set locally. In Michigan, they're set by the county and sometimes by the city, as in the case of home-rule cities (like Grand Rapids and Detroit). Elsewhere it's either the state, county, city, township, etc., depending on state law. It's never set by the fed, and never has been. Even during the 55 MPH national maximum speed limit days, the most the fed could do was take away a state's federal funding for roadwork if the state didn't comply.
Well, this is slashdot, so I would expect that you would take care of the mess for them. The stereotypes say we're all our family's tech support, so I would think that that wouldn't be too far out of the ordinary. If that's not the case, then have fun spending extra cash every month. Anyway, T-Mobile offers free roaming on AT&T's network in most dead areas, so it's not that big of a deal. I'm still not sure about the data roaming, though.
That may be true, but if you do it right, it can be cheaper with T-Mobile. For example, I recently sprung for a Nokia N900 (really, it's the best phone ever.). I signed up for T-Mobile's individual plan with unlimited text, 500 minutes and the "I own my own hardware" discount. I also have a Skype account. If sign up for T-Mobile service over the Internet you can add-in the unlimited data for phones (not for smartphones), and save some cash on the data (like $10/mo), and the SIM card is free (you have to pay for it in the store.) Then set up call forwarding on your Skype account to forward to your phone (in case you're out of range for data service but still have voice service when someone calls) and only give out your Skype number. I've used a grand total of 50 plan minutes last month with over 1000 minutes on my Skype account from the phone during peak hours. Skype's basically a $6/mo unlimited minutes addon. The N900 integrates with Skype perfectly (so long as you type your numbers in your contacts list with a "+1" in front of the area code and number). You can do this with a few other phones as well. (Just not Android phones with the T-Mobile markings, which can't use the data for phones plan add-on at all. Also, you may have to change which APN your phone uses to get it to work (internet2.voicestream.com is the APN if I recall). Just search howardforums for directions.)
Grand total for essentially unlimited talk, text and data (with tethering) through T-Mobile and Skype (with taxes, assuming Skype is paid annually) = $56/mo. Only MetroPCS is cheaper but only by $6/mo and you can't tether.
Is this some kind of bizzare "yo dawg" joke. Like, "Yo dawg, I heard you liked comments from anesthesiologists so I put a comment in your comment so you could read while you read."
1. A computer that stores your movies. This computer must run some sort of UPnP media server software like PS3 Media Server on Windows or fuppes on Linux. It must be powerful enough to transcode in real-time your movies. Think Core 2 Duo 2GHz for 1080p, or P4 3GHz for 720p.
2. A Playstation 3 or XBox 360. This will be your display device hooked to your TV. Both are cake to use for non-computer experts and can do other fun things as well, like games, the Internet, Netflix, etc. I prefer the PS3 since it can handle Netflix without paying Microsoft a subscription fee, but if you already have an XBOX 360 with and Xbox Live account, then that may be a better idea.
All other answers to this question are lame and/or missed the point. Seriously. Making some crap computer out of spare parts and hooking it up to your TV just doesn't make sense when you probably already have a PS3 or Xbox 360 and a computer good enough to transcode on-the-fly and large enough (storage wise) to hold your media. Hell, that computer probably sits in the same spot all day, every day and never gets turned off, so put that wasted power into good use. If you're really just trying to shoehorn some old, piece of shit computer into something useful, then what you really have is a solution looking for a problem. Fuck that. Sell the POS on craigslist and be done with it.
Truthfully, there are only two stories in the world of fiction. 1. Stranger comes to town. 2. Hero takes a journey. Think about it for a moment. Every story (every last one) is one of those two or, more rarely, a hybrid of those two. Of course, you have to realize that not every journey is physical and not every stranger is completely unknown or unwanted, but every story is a variation on those themes. What makes a new (or old) story good is how well the author tells the story he chose and how interesting the variations are.
Not true. The Jews believe that as long as non-Jews abide by the Noahide laws (laws given to Noah after the flood), then they're all good in the eyes of G-d. In fact, it is Jewish doctrine that one should not formally convert to Judaism if they think that they may not be able to abide by the Mitzvah, since it's better to be a righteous Gentile than a non-righteous Jew (righteous in the original sense of the word, that is). Also, the Jews don't exactly believe in Hell, at all, or in Heaven, in the sense that the Christians and Muslims do.
There is another way to raise alcohol levels though. It's done to make ice wine (and a few beers, including the one in question, although not usually to the degree for the squirrel monstrosity). It's called freeze distillation generally, but it's not at all like distillation in the conventional sense. Basically, either before or after brewing (before brewing gives you a very sweet product, after gives you tons of alcohol) you lower the temperature of the liquid down low enough (but not too low) so that only the water freezes, and then filter out the ice crystals. This is kind of like how you can suck all the flavor out of a slurpy if you're not careful.
You're making it out to be much more expensive than it actually is. If you really have 1930's construction, then insulating your home would be relatively easy and cheap. Between each pair of studs in your wall (and, possibly, ceiling if you have no attic) a hole is drilled and the gap is filled with a ground newspapers and phone books. Then you repair the holes. It has quite good insulating properties and is relatively cheap. The 1930's status of your construction actually helps, since you won't have firebreaks to drill under. (Newer construction has a row of vertical studs, called a firebreak, halfway up the wall the prevent fires from spreading as quickly.)
