Yet Cisco has managed to avoid any kind of anti-trust action over the years. And there's no talk of anti-trust pressure on Google either. Wonder why that is?
I can buy a router from Bay and interop with Cisco kit. I can also sell Cisco and Bay kit without losing my shirt because I'm missing out on a 75% discount. Last I checked, Cisco didn't sabotage their stuff to not run with Bay kit.
Run a full 16/44 WAV throuh a spectrum analyser. Then convert it to mp3 and do the same thing. You will see the difference for yourself.
I don't have a specanalyzer in my car. I do, however, have speakers.
The fact that your average ears are unable to percieve the lossiness of mp3 in no way negates its existance. Mine certainly can.
Good for you. If you can tell the difference between a 192Kbps MP3 and the corresponding CD n my MR2 with the top down while driving, I'll give you $20. I still won't give a damn.
I don't equate "burning bridges" to "making a mess and running off", just so you know. I mean it in the sense of just destroying any chance of future polite communication between yourself and EvilBoss (and/or EvilCompany). And yes, sometimes you want it that way.
I am referring to the scene that will likely occur as the mess - they know that you had a shouting match and then quit, but the details are unknown. This may make you undesirable to a peripherally aware coworker. Certainly, don't worry too much about the political fallout, but also, use discretion - say 'I gotta go' and then go instead of telling your boss off. It won't do you any good, so don't.
Maybe it's just me, but I reckon that there's nothing wrong with burning a few bridges every now and then. Hell, nuke the damn bridge, leave the area a smoking radioactive wasteland.
The problem is that, when you burn your bridges, the people that weren't really involved in your situation won't remember you leaving because of an unreasonable management, they'll remember that you were the one that made a mess and ran off. Especially if management hangs around and slanders you afterwards. These people may be involved in hiring you for your next gig, so there's the problem. This doesn't apply in the case where it's a small office and the problem is big enough that everybody knows it, but that's unusual, so be diplomatic.
Illegal immigrants will be first, because it is hard for anyone to make a case for their civil rights
I don't see why - any illegal alien has full civil rights. For your info, there's no such thing as an illegal immigrant.
Then the fun starts when insurance companies, probably with bipartisan assistance from Congress, decide to reduce rates for companies/buildings that refuse association/entry to persons with a "high threat index".
Arabs and Muslims will be next, especially those who reside in "certain zip codes".
These are likely illegal - the practice is called redlining, and banks have gotten into trouble for it before.
Nah, he went down for calling the pope an idiot. Originally, the pope was fine with Galileo presenting his theories of heliocentricism, so long as the pope's preferred theory also got space. Galileo did this by having the pope's theory presented by a character named 'idiota'.
The Celerons ran a lot faster with the same or similar memory, so cache was more necessary. Also, L2 cache was available and used for 486s, so yes, Celerons sucked real bad. On the upside, they were easy to OC.
I don't like the idea of making assumptions that just because a system is 20 years old, that it absolutely must be replaced. I also don't like the assumption in the article that I already know the facts, so here's the analysis for you. I want the facts to back it up so I can come to my own conclusion.
How about this: every few years, reexamine the limitations and requirements of the system. Upgrade or replace the system when it gets too close to those limits.
Remember that sentiment when your upwind neighbor wants to build a pig farm or a junkyard.
Funny you should mention that - one of the more irritating things that yuppies do is move out to the country, then attempt to put the farmer next door out of business because they don't like the smell.
However I do think that is a good way to make people too fucking scared to commit the crime in the first place. Next time own up to your comment coward.
Yeah right, like public execution was ever a valid deterrent. They used to hang pickpockets in the public square - had the damndest time with pickpockets at the execution.
As for the whole sex offender thing, I think it should only be for actual depravity. Specifically, stuff like deliberately exposing yourself to children, rape (not statutory) and stuff like that.
Also, you mention budget. To me the budget is irrelevant.
What I meant was that I am not currently in a position to build a dedicated theatre. When I do build one, the budget will decide when I build it, not the level of quality. I intend to build only one of these things.
I don't *want* the pain; feel free to rob me of it.
Fine, enjoy life as a pet.
I'm probably not going to argue the point, but to me the notion that all pain is for the better ranks alongside deathism for sheer sophistry. Its only use is to justify the pain/death, and I refuse to believe there's any deeper meaning.
Not all pain is for the better, but arguing that all pain is wrong or that removing all of it is somehow a good thing is utter foolishness. When there is no pain, there is no desire for change.
Necessary and useful starvation? Where have I heard that before? Hang on, I think I hear Godwin's Law calling...
Better check your ears - there is no hint of racism in what I am saying. People are starving because of the actions of others. Frequently, their rulers have sold them down the river. If nobody was starving, then there would be little chance of someone like Charles Mugabe or Kim Jon Il being assasinated or overthrown. Fact is, our suffering at the hands of George III is what is responsible for our country being here in the first place.
This struggle is the very thing that defines us as humans.
thus, action and inaction are, functionally, the same for an omnipotent god.
children starve to death every day.
god does nothing to stop this startvation.
this inaction to prevent said starvation is the same as a direct action to cause it.
deliberately causing children to starve to death is cruel.
god is cruel
You assume that this starvation is not necessary or useful on a larger scale. I would argue that it is in fact the consequence of free will that leads to such suffering. If we didn't suffer the consequences of our (and others') actions, then we'd all be children. That children starve is lamentable, but eliminating all suffering by fiat robs us of our sovereignity. It robs us of our pain.

Having a flat screen TV on the wall is extravagant.
In the midwest, sure. In Manhattan, it's cheaper than the floorspace costs.
Should we just take the old girl down, then?
Nah, you can still come over, you just have to go through the line instead of swimming across the river.

Most state ids are and remain the property of the state. Technically, your DL or passport are not YOUR papers, they belong to the state.
Which is irrelevant - you don't have to show them. One exception is if you're driving and they request a DL.

Woops.
if you randomly change the false images, you can do a frequency analysis because the right answer always has to be presented.
Why is that? You could have a none of the above option.
Um, so did 486s, so the GP stands...
The Celerons ran a lot faster with the same or similar memory, so cache was more necessary. Also, L2 cache was available and used for 486s, so yes, Celerons sucked real bad. On the upside, they were easy to OC.

Fortunately, initially spinning a HDD up takes the energy, once spinning it uses up very little (~10W IIRC)
That sounds high. Last I looked (IBM's site), idle power costs were half that or less.
Some populations simply don't have what it takes to survive in our modern world. The struggle is defines us as humanity.
And some populations just get screwed. All the racism is your own.
Someone team-killed Jeb Bush? This is the games section right? Oh, wait...
If you TK his brother, does the Secret Service show up and take away your computer?
And if you shut down their switch port, how are they going to get that email?
Leave DHCP and HTTP open, but restrict the hosts to the uni webmail and the necessary pages to download patches and cleanup tools.

You must've been looking at *really* inexpensive bulbs!! Wow. The ones I've looked at often cost 1/2 the price of the original projector!
I was looking at the $1k projector bulbs. The theatre quality projectors run up to $9k and more.

It may, in fact be created by Intelligent Design.
It may be, but religious dogma has no place in a scientific inquiry.
