    Tagged pigpail and pigpile to note these stories.

  2. Tagged: kangaroocourt on Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death · · Score: 1

    I doubt there was any way they'd allow anything but guilty, with the sentence of death? Heck, it's not as if you'd add tons of extra troops and curfews if he's innocent in territories that still recognize him (as well as all over).

  3. Re:Get an education! on Tech Jobs For a Student? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately that'd require the removal of competitive admissions for by-birth citizens and the lowering of tuition to give him a chance to build the cash.

    So, I'll ask again: What processor used in modern day PCs runs happily at 75 degrees Celsius?

    T42p's that go north of 80 with heavy graphics activity, and sometimes sit well at 90C (not recommended, is a sign of fan failure if pegged at 90C/60C)

    ...until br0kenrabbit gets a bill of epic proportions from some of the forums, having his account suspended for hacking another person's account, and arrested for hacking.

    Now that is pwned.

  6. well, if he's smart, he's farfrompwnt(TM). on How To Get Your Steam Account Pwned · · Score: 1

    Then they just rotate to another key on another card (with other information differing enough to dodge out-of-game banning) and resume action, passing word on of potential GM alts. Even if they can be created and removed at will, names *do* stick out. The worst that you'll do is drive them to this fine game that doesnt silence/shutter private servers, and has mostly self-regulation. The result is a very hardened userbase that knows what does happen.

    Dont worry about the script kiddie, he'd get justice here as well. It just would happen with whole accounts with tons of gear, to the point where thousands can disappear with a phonecall - no need for a GM.

  7. Mod parent (way) up on How To Get Your Steam Account Pwned · · Score: 1

    tagged it notfunny as well, since we may hear of it backfiring.

    At least the person took the moral high road and gave it back no questions asked, even if someone does end up losing their account to him.

    Google pays like a big company, has rewards like a startup's available, and has a startup's environment... ...except acts like their Stanford heritage and company practice allows to act as if they were anointed from above.

    I'm bitter that I got an 'up yours' form letter turndown, though
    Somehow I guess that you're in flyover country, the perfect place to find people - but the question is, where's the data connectivity? The question is if it'd take another Bell sized rollout to the whole Midwest just to wire it so that there's no reason to not think domestic first. The workers are there.

    I'm still mad about the crappy 80s/90s GM cars I had to put up with.

    Then it means more Grand Nationals, T-Types, Cutlass Supremes/442's, Z-28's, Toronados, Sevilles, GTP's, Impala SS's(the V8 powered ones, not the V6 powered ones), and other fine North American build & marque cars (that never had the power-reducing "Gentleman's Agreement" their Japanese equivalents had) for the rest of us. That should be enough parts between all the cars remaining on the road to build, tune, and maintain these import killers.

    It's not my fault you didnt follow the manual regarding service and maintenance.

    As for bankruptcy, they're just trying to void union contracts by running their North American operations into the ground any way possible - since their foreign assets wont be covered. If they were covered, those would be one of the first things rightfully targeted - foreign operations.

    With all this that's come from him, it might be time for people to start looking upstream towards his master who didnt stop at the executive level, but pioneered in the art of "not giving a damn about the locals".

    Well, ask your well-heeled and well connected alumni to cough up some cash - I'm sure that exclusivity(or what you want to call "competitive admissions") can come up with the difference and then some.

    Think of them as a new company, that sells new/different products.

    Yes, but it didnt go well when some other company similarly reinvented itself, selling new "products".

    Why dont you ask the Secretary of Labor who might have a conflict of interest regarding the ill-made attempt at corrective measures? That might be able to explain those wage discrepancies, and why she should have all her degrees revoked.

    All that will do is inspire people to see how many cars they can pile in the smallest area possible.


    That doesnt mention what size the cars could be, since you could have a car that would be 1 cubic pixel but be like driving a cement slab at someone. That doesnt even deal with the details of mass object manipulation with a rocket, either.
