Quick question--do you know how your mouse or trackpad works?:-)
It's probably rooted in the fact that American commercials shown overseas won't produce any revenue. I despise Hulu because I pay monthly for service and still get commercials...and the interface sucks compared to NetFlix.
Then do what I do--vote with my wallet, and stop paying for Hulu Plus, and stick with Netflix. So I'm a year or two behind--so what? I can watch years and years of a single show, and then do the same with another show. I never run out of stuff to watch and never see a commercial. Why bother with Hulu?
Yeah how about trying "We were ordered to do it by the US government and we can't give you details because a) national security and b) gag order". Seems to work for the government, why can't it work for Google?
Because they've had 2 years to make that argument, and making it now isn't credible?
The developers at my company, who use windows laptops, keep a lot of their code in VisualSVN server and then use eitherAnkhsvn to do the checkout straight into Visual Studio, or TortoiseSVN if you want to be able to right-click in any folder and checkout to that location.
Even 16 episodes for $22.99 is way too much. You think AMC makes that much off cable viewers? No way.
For that kind of price you could get the DVDs. This is why I wait for shows to be on Netflix.
22.99 is for the high-def version; would you consider that an acceptable price for the Blu-ray disks? It's $14.99 for the standard definition. It is a complete rip-off for only 8 episodes, but seems like a decent price for 16.
Does anyone know if there is gold in Fort Knox still? Or is this one of those questions that isn't supposed to be asked or answered? If so, I apologize for asking it, but I'd be enlightened to know anything about this situation.
Most of NSA and CIA funding comes from the transport and sale of contraband, weapons, drugs, any other 'controlled' substance, and money laundering through the banks.
Yeah, I just read that entire article, and I don't see a single mention of the NSA or CIA. Do you have any actual citations, or only unrelated ones?
To try and put in context. As long as the guy had a genuinely difficult/unhelpful time dealing with BA customer service then he's fine. If that isn't true, for example they responded quickly and repeatedly but he ignored it. He shouted and was rude to them immediately on the phone making it impossible for them to capably serve him etc. In those circumstances they would have valid grounds for libel in the UK because what he is saying isn't true. Though BA would never pursue it because it would simply make it a bigger story.
But the word "horrendous" is not a factual word; it has no legal meaning. BA can say "we helped him 15 times and found his bag in 20 minutes and paid him 100 pounds for his trouble", and those are all factual statements that they could (and should, if true) present for their side of the argument in court of public opinion. But "horrendous" is still an opinion and opinions are not libelous, in the United States. Like I said, in the UK things are different, and he probably can be sued for his statement of opinion--but if he is a US citizen then the US will refuse to extradite him for a free speech violation.
His tweet said "their customer service is horrendous." That clearly makes it a matter of opinion, which is protected by free speech laws in the US. However, British laws are much more "protective" of the "victims" of "big meanies" who share their opinions in public.
Nuclear weapons also just "burn" people. They are not used specifically for their fallout either. What's the problem?
The problem is that nuclear weapons cause too much "collateral damage". As in, not only did the military base cease to exist, but the hospital and schools around it are gone, too. Don't forget the orphanage, the retirement home, and the church/synagogue/mosque/etc.
We have totally un-attended gas stations, with nobody around but a phone to pick up in the place is on fire or something.
Why does there have to be a guy there? To swipe (as in steal) your card?
To sell me candy! Also, to help the handicapped who can drive but who have trouble navigating the space between the pump and the vehicle while in a wheelchair.
What is this world coming to when a porn company is not completely on the up-and-up?
Actually, they are a law firm that purchased the rights to the films from a porn company, and then "gifted" the copyright to a random guy that the owner of the law firm knew; their business model was to sue those who were sharing the film illegally. But giving the film away for free get the downloaders off the hook, IANAL.
I would love to see the demographics of folks who still go to drive-in theaters.
And if the demographic is baby-boomers or older, then drive-ins are doomed because those folks are going to just die.
Hipsters? When the fad of retro-whatever-they-do wears off, that market will dry up.
I had a lot of fun going to the drive-in theater (2 screens, double headers on both) in Abilene, Texas, when I went to college there. That was in the 2002-2006 year range, I'm 29 now; hardly close to pushing up daisies. There's also a multi-screen complex about 30 minutes south of Dallas that I went to some years ago; I want to take my kids, maybe make it a group thing, when the kids get a little older.
Drive-ins are fun experiences, and I think some places let you pay "per car", it can be cheaper for larger groups. You can bring a pick-nick basket of food and save a ton of money.
Very informative, nice post. A couple of comments.
First, there are three nonoverlapping channels for 802.11b/g. So there's 11 channels, but transmitting on channel 1 means that you are putting noise on channels 1-5; transmitting on channel 6 means that you are putting noise on 1-10; and transmitting on channel 11 puts noise on 7-11. If you transmit on channel 3, that means you are disrupting 1-8, so it's best to simply use 1, 6, and 11.
5Ghz doesn't have as much of a saturation problem because of the smaller distance that a usable signal travels. Sure, 24Ghz would be even better, but then I wouldn't be able to use the signal on my driveway or probably even my bedroom. I can see 24Ghz being good for apartment use, or college dorms, although dorms should have their own wifi.
I don't mind younger or older, either is fine with me. The only gripe I can see in my now 15 second old research of the man I have never previously heard of before is that IMDB has some really unflattering photos of him where he looks positively frail. Shortest lived Doctor ever.... regenerates walk to the first set of stairs falls and breaks a hip and 2 days later regenerates because pneumonia is killing him.
I'd say he's perfect for the role of the 13th Doctor...the final Doctor.
You might get a couple of freebies with his contact info but I suspect it'd be better policy for an installation this size to set up a paid arrangement with the outgoing sysadmin. I'm not in IT so I don't know what precedents there are around this, but relying on him to reply for free just seems against human nature.
This is great advice. A two-week after-hours contract with the admin for after he leaves is a great investment.

The next obvious step is not to use it unless you can understand it.
So you're not going to use your car because you don't understand internal combustion engines or the chemical properties of gasoline?
But you probably would want the bomb to go off in the event that the bomber is shot down.
No. What if the bomber just took off? You'd lose an entire AFB or carrier group.

Committee name includes family, women, and children. Perhaps if their families included men the children wouldn't need the government to protect them.

Shouldn't that say:

Without the semicolon?
Can the government force me to make a public statement, attesting that it's true?
Because it seems to me that the government using my private keys to sign a packet that I didn't create is substantially similar.
Bull. It's no different than the government forging your signature. They aren't compelling speech, they are forging a document.
