Its just like anything else, be smart about it. It doesn't force you to use it for every site so don't. I use it for all my forums, some email, some social sites, basically anything that if stolen, doesn't matter, well over 100 sites. I don't use it for anything connected to any part of my finances, credit cards, or my big selling or buying sites (ebay,amazone,etc), a much smaller 10-20 sites. Using it this way is worry free and does simplify things. You still have multiple passwords, but at least the ones for non financial sites are automatic now on all my computers, and I no longer use the same password for these sites.
Yeah this is stupid, the robots did exactly what the designer wanted them to do, of course if you tell them to share if they are closely related, they will eventually share and those that do will take over the population, duh! What would have been truly evolving is if in the end of the original experiment they noticed the robots that survived the most were sharing, without any notion of it or rules for it, that would be truly evolving. I love how these types of experiments say that the robots, neurons, or machines evolve into something. So if I write an iterative function to solve for Pi, it evolves into Pi, how amazing!
I have Netflix, love it, but it is massively overvalued IMO. Its like a dotcom with hardly any capitol. Google, Yahoo, Apple, Amazon, or any of the big players could render Netflix worthless overnight if they were able to agree to deals with any of the major studios for streaming newly released movies. Netflix streaming is awesome and I love it, but to be honest the selection is pathetic, there is hardly anything on there that is new, and nothing on there is a blockbuster title and new. The day the studios agree to terms with any streaming provider for new releases is the day Netflix is irrelevant, if Google got access to new movies then you better sell your Netflix stock.
Right on. MOD UP! Put up or shut the fuck up. The producer of content can set their price to what ever the fuck they want, if you don't like it don't fucking buy it, using that as an excuse to steal it is spineless. People like you are the exact reason the music industry is a shit hole, the PC gaming market fell off a cliff, and sci fi movies are sucking. Basically if you don't vote with your dollars, the shit you want doesn't get made, if you decide to instead steal it, you aren't voting with any dollars and the market gets all fucked up.
What I've always wanted is a machine that you dump all your legos into and it sorts them by color, not just special blocks but any lego piece. Another sort that would be very useful is by type: short beams, long beams, small panels, big panels, wheels, axles, gears, technic beams, etc...
so true, if you look up the figures Apple accounts for 99% of all mobile software sales, andriod doesn't even come close, piracy is rampant on andriod. its bad on ios, but destroying the andriod software market, if it weren't for ios, there wouldn't be hardly any andriod apps. if you are a mobile software developer its pretty much common knowledge your #1 goal is ios, if you then have a hit on ios, then do a port for andriod and expect 1/20 - 1/100th the sales even though there are 10x the number of devices. and expect rampant piracy and a fragmented device market that is a pita to support.

Is Sugar Toxic?

· Score: 1
Incorrect, an orange or orange juice is fine, both have a low glycemic index of 43 or 46, whereas cola has mid/high GI of 65, and a Gatorade has an insane GI of 78. Gatorade is a prime example of a drink that is generally accepted as being healthy when it is in fact far worse than even the generally accepted awful soda pop. Perhaps this if fine and desirable after/during working out, I don't know, but drinking Gatorade casually is a recipe for hunger, sugar crashes, and headaches.
Yes eventually, but we still have a long ways to go in terms of efficiency.

I think it would more beneficial to ramp up GHz first rather than having more cores. Which would you rather have? A 4GHz mobile CPU or 4 1GHz CPUs? The answer is easily 4GHz since every single interaction, graphics update, processing of user input is going to be 4X more responsive, and you will easily notice the difference, with multiple cores you also have the overhead and hassle of synchronizing threads and the mind numbing task of updating mobile apps to take advantage of them. The ONLY reason we have more cores on the desktop is because we reached a ceiling for clock rate and heat dissipation, until that happens on the mobile CPU there is absolutely no reason to favor cores over clock rate, in fact even less so than the desktop since responsiveness is even more important.
I could give two shits about facebook, its about easily seeing what friends and family are up to and communicating, not about facebook itself. Its like a very easy to use forum and blog for your life. If another website came out tomorrow that was better everyone would use it instead. Its akin the old crazes and obsessions of writing and journals, video diaries, the internet and blogs, remember how obsessed people were over those! OMG society almost didn't make it through those crazy times! The fad will fade as all do, you sign up, connect with lots of old friends, post a ton for a while, then after a while realize its all pretty meaningless and the people around you are the ones who matter most anyways, and you don't need facebook to talk with them. It will never go away though because its still great to see what distant friends are doing every once and while. Peak Facebook is coming soon though...
THANK YOU:) MOD UP! Because something is expensive doesn't give you the right to steal it, people try to validate their actions with whatever lame excuse is relevant, I'm poor, I wouldn't buy it anyways, I'm not going to support fat cats selling it, its costs zero to anyone to steal it, blah blah blah, you're excuses are bullshit, you are a thief plain and simple if you pirate anything. Furthermore and worse, you are marginally destroying the art/market/artist of the thing you are pirating, the problem is the effect is so tiny its imperceptible on a case by case basis, but the overall effects are real.
What is hilarious is we have federal tax incentives for hybrids and electric cars, and then they invent a new tax specifically to target hybrids and electric cars. Remove your head from your ass please! Government at its finest, net result is 0 for citizens (incentives + tax = 0), while the government gets more jobs and taxes to manage it all!
Actually they do use the road less. They have lower rolling resistance and weigh less which reduces wear on the road. Furthermore, how in the hell can you tax a 80,000 pound semi truck the same as a 3,000 pound passenger car?
Yeah I knew that wasn't the problem as I work out and exercise quite a bit (altogether probably 10 hours/week). Out of all the things to fix my back I found that massages and stretching helped the most, but ultimately changing chairs fixed it, and I no longer need to stretch solely for my back. I also rotate sitting on a ball in every once and while. I would agree though, for most people the source of most of their pain is probably from not exercising enough.
I actually bought that exact chair as mentioned in the article, with the additional $200 chrome upgrade, about 4 years ago, it was awesome for the first few years, and then I had a huge problem with lower back pain. I went to the doc, tried stretching, muscle relaxers, massages, sleeping differently, it turns out it was the chair, after switching to a $39 Ikea chair http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70133761 my back pain finally went away after a few weeks and has been awesome since. I tried switching back to the Aeron a year ago for a month, but my back started hurting again soon after. The point of my story is just because a chair is expensive or has many adjustments does not mean its the best for you, and you may very well find a very comfortable chair for a lot less.
You know kids are spoiled when they have a mobile gaming system that is 3D and think that 4.5 hours of battery is short! It's also a testament to Nintendo's games and system when 4.5 hours can be over before you know it. That is a long time. Seriously, if 4.5 hours of battery is the biggest complaint they have about this system I have no idea why this is front page news, the battery looks like you can just pop in a new one so what is the big deal?
It also has return rates of every computer component, very interesting info.
For the first time, we also integrate SSDs in this article type. Voici les taux de pannes enregistrés par constructeur : The rates of failure recorded by manufacturer:
To be recorded the VAS had to be made directly through the merchant, which is not always the case since it is possible to return directly from the manufacturer: however, this represents a minority in the first year.
C'est la dégringolade pour Hitachi, qui était premier lors du précédent classement ! Hitachi is plummeting, which was first in the previous ranking! Western Digital conserve sa seconde place malgré un taux de panne en hausse, alors que c'est Maxtor qui occupe la première place. Western Digital retained its second place despite a failure rate increasing, while Maxtor is occupying the first place.
Voici plus précisément les taux de panne pour les disques de 1 To : More specifically the failure rate for 1TB drives:
Hitachi est logiquement le moins bien placé, ce avec deux gammes distinctes ! Hitachi is logically the less well placed, what with two separate lines! Quid des versions 2 To ? What about the 2 TB version?
Globalement, les taux de panne enregistré sont mauvais. Overall, failure rates recorded are bad. Cela ne donne pas vraiment envie de confier 2 To de donnée à ces disques seuls : un mirroring ne sera pas de trop pour sécuriser les données. That does not really want to entrust to 2TB of data to these discs alone: a mirroring will not be too much for securing data. Logiquement les disques 7200 tpm sont moins fiable que les 5400/5900 tpm, avec près de 10% pour le modèle Western ! Logically 7200 rpm disks are less reliable than the 5400/5900 rpm, with almost 10% for the Western model!
I don't understand why the middle east turmoil is nothing more than a scape goat for price gouging, 40% of our oil comes from the US. Of the remaining imports 40% comes from Canada and Mexico, and another 40% comes from North and South America Countries (mostly in Central America). Of the top 12 importing countries, there are only 2 from the middle east, totaling a WHOPPING (sarcasm) 6.6% of our imports! This should be replaceable immediately with alternative energy sources. People need to WAKE UP and quite taking the crap the media and government is feeding us about why oil prices do what they do.
As usual you are missing something;) My guess is it doesn't work to well when its, gasp, not powered on! After the discovery of the device the victim unplugged the one foot long battery pack from the GPS unit thereby disabling any tracking abilities.
Totally agree, but I think the huge decline of pc gaming and scifi are related to piracy imo. In TV DVRs add a lot to this, which in effect allows you to "steal" the programming (watch it without viewing advertising) which is how the programming is paid for. Since advertising no longer works, you are going to have to pay for it directly, which piracy is preventing or severely crippling. Until an unbreakable DRM scheme is invented, we won't see much scifi again, or it will be mixed with other genres.
This is the reason the USA is in such an economic swirly. THE COST OF A LIFE IS NOT INFINITE! The sooner people accept this the sooner we can get on with a health care plan, welfare system, prison system, and most importantly defense budget that actually make sense. The military has put the cost of a human life at 2 million dollars for a long time, did you know that? The public needs to do the same, meaning even though Kevin Metnick did not kill anyone, he caused great financial harm, and that is just as bad. Even though you cannot rationalize it your head, the economy doesn't care. Since Metnick admitting that he caused 5 to 10 million dollars in damages, that would be equal to him killing 2-5 people, now what do you think his sentence should be?
Why should she be banned for driving from life when she was in the wrong place at the wrong time (an accident)? There are millions of people who text, update facebook, and talk on the phone while driving every day, it could happen to you, me, anyone! Her life should not be flushed down the toilet to be made an example of, and we as taxpayers made to support her in prison for the rest of her life at $200k per year in costs, that is utterly ridiculous. The issue is teaching the public how dangerous doing other things while driving is. IMO she should have to take driver safety courses, be banned from driving for a year or two, and do several thousand hours of community service to educate the public on the dangers of using phones while driving.
First of all, this should be in the summary, the first two 6g controllers on the board are unaffected, its only the 3g controllers that are affected. Most users aren't even going to be using more than 2 ports. Secondly, most motherboards use third party controllers for additional ports (mine use 2 other controllers and 6 non-Intel ports), if you have any of these then unless you are using 10 drives in your computer it isn't going to be a problem and a simple cable switch to other ports and you are done.
Lastly, it is probably going to be much easier, cheaper, and faster to simply pop in a SATA controller card than getting an RMA.

If you look directly at any of the moving objects you can see any of them change in brightness, color, size, or shape. Your peripheral vision is not your focus for good reason, and of course its not going to track every single change like at the center of your focus of vision, its not supposed to and is better that it doesn't.
