I put a solid state hard drive in an old C2D equipped Dell D630 for a friend of mine and upgraded the ram to 4GB and installed win 7 pro in place of Vista for him and he just flipped out over how much better it runs. I was pretty surprised as well, it seems faster than some of the shitty consumer level new stuff at best buy. Not bad for an antique.
I've got a quad core i7 mac mini server from 2011 and I really love it. I thought about getting an upgrade so I went to buy a new quad i7 mac mini but nooooooo! The fuckers just crippled the mini. Oh well.......Apple is becoming less and less relevant anyway in the computer world. I do like the tablets but not for the price. I haven't built a new tower for quite a while so I guess I'll shop parts for a new Linux system. I use the mini for video work but Apple has been busy crippling their video software as well. I don't understand why they hate their customers so much.
That's actually pretty good shooting. No way to know how many hit him after he was already dead and not moving though. It's amazing how fast those semi-auto pistols get emptied when people are excited and the adrenalin is pumping.
Given that this idiot had no training he'd most likely have accomplished no more even with a more sophisticated weapon. He accomplished nothing beyond shooting an unarmed man performing a ceremonial duty and lighting up the news stations which might have been his only real purpose. Sad and pathetic.
You don't see the difference between liking nude women and stealing nude photos from their phone? It never occurred to me that anyone would fail to see why I was upset. They're no better than a high tech Peeping Tom except in addition they've abused their authority to enable their activity.
Fuck that. This is beyond libido. I like women fine and like to see attractive ones but leering at nude photos stolen from their phone is not normal behavior. To imply that it is makes this perversion seem mainstream. It's just short of sexual assault. Would you steal someone's nude photos? Would you even go into their phone to look at their photos? If so you're not the kind of person I'd ever want to know. The reason this sickness is so prevalent in society is that we tolerate it and fail to condemn it strongly enough. It's sick and they should be fired.
The majority of greenhouse gasses come from transportation and electricity production. If everyone stayed home and we quit using air conditioning and heat the problem will be solved.
This is so twisted. It bothers me greatly that they could be so despicable and twisted. What the hell is wrong with these cops? Pervs in uniform and I wonder if they'll still be out there on duty next year? I hate the thought these sickos will still be pulling women over after they get a slap on the wrist for this. Fire them.
Shotguns are great for close in work. They are also better for someone who's not all that much of a marksman. If you don't practice with a pistol a lot, and I mean a lot, then you'd be lucky to hit someone at 25 feet in a firefight. I saw a video of a gunfight in a pool hall with a bunch of gang members emptying semi-auto pistols at each other at close range. One guy got hit in the arm out of hundreds of rounds fired. Trigger control on a pistol is everything. If you jerk it you missed unless you stuck it in the guy's belly. The retired Mountie that put him down used a pistol but he was a very experienced pro. I didn't see how many times the shooter got plugged but I bet it wasn't that many times and security fired a lot of shots.
The fact is you can never make anything 100 percent safe. It's just not possible. Anyone willing to die can cause havoc because really the only thing stopping them is the fact they'll die in the process. You can pass law upon law upon law and it doesn't matter because if someone is willing to kill and be killed then obviously the law doesn't matter. Laws are most effective on the law abiding so they end up punishing those who aren't a threat anyway. If we were a truly evil society then a law that responded by killing all of the terrorist's family in response might make them hesitate or that might not even work. Regardless that's not going to happen so all I can see is take all reasonable precaution and hope you have someone like that Sergeant at Arms on duty.
You fail to understand. None of that happens by choice. When you're raised in the ghetto, abandoned by your father and your mother is uneducated and often unemployed your odds of getting out of that vicious cycle are not good. Then actual racism which while not as prevalent as in the past but still exists kicks in and things become worse. I look at it and I have to admit I don't know what to do about it but I know what we've been doing isn't working. Instead of trying to fix the World's troubles we'd better do something about the racial divide here before it blows up on us and the US ends up as a war zone.
Better yet. This country is rich and can easily afford to house and feed a significant portion of it's population. The problem is that we pay them to have children and thus that portion of society grows at a greater rate than the more productive members who have much less children. The solution is to pay people to be sterilized. That way those that don't want to work don't have to and they wont be passing on that culture to another generation.
PBS is great. I used to love watching "This old house" and "New Yankee workshop" and "Victory Garden" and a lot of cooking shows and some of the BBC stuff. I had rabbit ears on my TV set and picked up 5 channels which was 4 too many. Now I have DirectTV with hundreds of channels and all I watch is History and Discovery Channels and.......PBS.
Google agreed to drop the articles. That's certainly fair. Somehow the newspapers didn't think so though. Why? Because they need Google more than Google needs them. Evidently they need that Google traffic so they must make money off it after all.
I don't know if I'd call bing competition. All the computers at work are stuck with IE as the web browser, no other option. Every one of those had bing as default. I can't find a single one that hasn't been switched to Google. I know one guy who couldn't figure out how to switch it so he had to suffer with bing for a week until he got someone to show him how to change it. bing doesn't suck, it swallows.
The disconnect is called snobbery. My device is faster, better, smaller, quieter or what have you. So what? The Pi has the right mix of versatility, power and price to make it a success. If it doesn't fit their needs then they should feel free to shop elsewhere.

No, because they were better at being evil. Much better.
Shut up and keep sucking bitch.

Not that hard. 25 dollar a gallon gas tax and triple the price of electricity and people would have no choice except of course for the rich.

I'll settle for just firing them.

Being a geek you used logic to try to understand the joke thus fucking it up.
I love to watch people play chess.

When there is no real free market then there is no choice. The current era of corporate collusion can hardly be called capitalism.

And he didn't even miss you.....

There are lot's of free options. Hardly anyone uses them but they're available and free.
