More silly rumor created by MS. 32 bit CPUs top out at 64GB not 4GB, but Windows refuses to support it, so the VM host has no such limitation.
Wow! If only Windows 32 bit supported PAE... Oh wait... It does. It's just that PAE is a shit solution to getting over the 4GB Address space barrier no matter what OS you use.
The LaWS consists of a 30-kilowatt solid-state infrared laser, a Phalanx CIWS (close-in weapon system) radar detection and tracking system, and a special computer terminal that controls the LaWS.
Marines are working on a land based version called G-BAD (Ground-Based Air Defense). I think the Army has something either deployed or in testing as well.
Facebook - and Google, and Microsoft, and all the others - are the reason why I strictly refuse to be photographed by other people in social settings, and I actively avoid cameras when they insist on taking a group pictures.
I am the same way. There are no pictures of me on the internet and I work hard to keep it that way.
You'll note I've made no mention whatsoever of geography. I only talked of the way they work with not quite the same rules everywhere. Their actual location should be irrelevant, beside convenience.
Yes, you did:
How come it is considered acceptable to judge such cases at a local level and thus with wildly different standards depending on which court it is presented to?
Then when pointed out that the court was just located in Texas, not a court of the state of Texas you said:
Which means these so-called "Federal court" are anything but.
They do work under the same rules but each district can set precedence and it's up to higher courts to resolve conflicts, but they do operate under the same laws as every other federal court.
So they can tax the fuck out of it. Can't have something stealing tax dollars from uncle sugar now can we?
What makes you think they couldn't do that before? The FDA has nothing to do with that. Hell the feds or any state could tax butternut squash 10000% tomorrow with the passing of a single law, no FDA required.
My vape uses medical grade nicotine in the liquid, I wouldn't call that a tobacco product. Even then the nicotine is completely optional, I've been decreasing how much is added to my liquid slowly and expect to completely wean myself off nicotine eventually. Vaping is how I quit smoking tobacco products (cigarettes) and thanks to a locally owned vape shop chain I now spend hundreds less on my nicotine addiction with much less danger to my health. (yes there is still the danger of the flavor additives and nicotine itself) So are they now going to regulate vapes and liquids? It sure looks like it...
Well then they could just regulate it as a drug then I guess, since it's not a product of naturally grown tobacco. That's what they do with a lot of other drugs that have natural as well as synthetic sources.
I agree with the FDA there needs to be regulation so that the public knows what they are buying and that it's safe (particularly when it comes to the flavor ingredients which, while GRAS for ingestion does not mean they are safe to inhale). But they really need to not make it so financially burdensome to these companies. It should be "We have these approved ingredients in these amounts, and here is a quarterly lab test from a random batch to prove it." should be enough.
If they don't have one, the vape producers REALLY need to create an industry group.
The entirety of iTunes is a piss poor design. It's like there's some secret cave under Apple HQ where a bunch of early 90's developers live and work on iTunes and no one else at Apple can find it to put a stop to it.
If Gaming 'Professionals' aren't capable and responsible enough to properly firewall away problems like this from the computers they are using as their 'studios' for their broadcasting operations, they aren't really very professional.
Aside from the whole problem of 'Pro Gaming' in general: what the heck? Why are we allowing Video Gaming to become a spectator sport? Personally I don't care about somebody's spot on a leaderboard. I go into games like World of Warcraft to immerse myself in a virtual world. Once you accept that there are 'winners' in such endeavors, you automatically become a loser.
I keep saying the same thing about football but no one seems to care.... Watching sports is for lazy mamma's boys.
She's also extremely well connected politically. She wields an insane amount of political clout. Trump doesn't. All the dems and half or more of the republicans in congress can't stand him so it would essential be 4 years of him not getting anything he wanted done. I can live with that.
Honestly this is why I want a "None of the Above" option in the general election. If it gets the majority, reset and go again in 2 years with the current president left in office and the current candidates barred from running.
GP is correct. A warehouse is a physical presence.
GP is wrong since they DID NOT HAVE A WAREHOUSE when they started collecting tax. They hadn't even purchased/leased land for it yet. Still not sure if they have one today. To put it another way, they started collecting sales tax BEFORE they had a physical or even legal presence in the state.
That's because Amazon has a business-presence in Illinois. When the selling agent has a presence in the state it's really not possible to justify the purchase as an out-of- state purchase.
They did not have a presence at the time that this change went into effect. IIRC it was part of deal in return for some tax credits on a new warehouse they want to build or something and to get the state off their backs about it.
This. 10000000 times this. Guy is a world class asshat. He probably dumped his shares as a final tantrum because Apple wouldn't bend to his bullying and he finally ran into a company that, even will all his billions, could tell him to go pound sand.
Actually it can vary based on the size of the carrier. Larger carriers have more subscribers, and also more clout negotiating. Several small cable companies had to drop AMC not long ago due to this kind of thing. Either way, it's not standardized in any way.
In the US TV rebroadcast rates are not standard at all. They are done on a contract by contract basis with each cable/satellite provider. Local networks have a choice: A) allow rebroadcast for no fee, and the cable company MUST carry the signal or B) Negotiate a rebroadcast fee and the cable company can choose to carry or not. Obviously these days they all do B. Cable network (FX, CNN, ESPN, TNT, etc) are not covered by those rules. They just negotiate for a rebroadcast fee period. There is no standardization of the fees involved, and they increase pretty much every time the contract is up (this is one of the biggest drivers for cable and sat companies raising rates, and the reason you see these blackouts happening more and more as the carriers are playing hardball on the contracts more often lately).
I was honestly surprised they did. I expected them to just say "Nope, sorry" but they did offer. I may revisit the issue this summer see if I can get them to come down in price. 18/1 vs 100/5 for basically the same price. It's figuratively killing me paying AT&T for such shitty speeds.
Oh, and "Bump Poles" are just power poles on private land for delivering power to a structure. Sometimes they are utility owned (as in my case), sometimes privately owned. The utility owning them is what caused the contractor to not use them (they basically said the utility will give them excuse after excuse to prevent them from using their poles whenever possible. They are also called bounce, service, or spot poles.
Don't feel bad, I had never heard of them either before the cable guys called them that.
Slashdot Mirror
Because I read somewhere that the Ghostbusters trailer was the most disliked in history.
That was then, this is now. 1,392,091 IW vs 770,958 (Ghostbusters).
I thought the new Ghostbusters trailer was the most disliked? Are they trying to bury the truth? http://www.technobuffalo.com/2...
Not unless 770,947 (Ghost Busters dislikes) is now greater than 1,392,091 (COD: IW dislikes)
I am going to assume you are not a US Citizen, or are and just failed all your Civics classes. This video should help explain it.

If they were federal and not some federal-in-name-only, they would all operate under the exact same rules.
So where do you think the federal courts should be located? DC? Canada? The Moon?
So they can tax the fuck out of it. Can't have something stealing tax dollars from uncle sugar now can we?

The federal government has ZERO authority to do this
Would you care to place a wager on that?
