According to Wikipedia, it tended only to be called that by later historians:
Renaissance editors sometimes added AUC to Roman manuscripts they published, giving the false impression that the Romans usually numbered their years using the AUC system. In fact, modern historians use AUC much more frequently than the Romans themselves did. The dominant method of identifying Roman years in Roman times was to name the two consuls who held office that year. The regnal year of the emperor was also used to identify years, especially in the Byzantine Empire after 537 when Justinian required its use.
You know how many sugar laden pitchers of Kool-Aid I drank waiting for a massive jolly anthropomorphic red pitcher to burst through the side of my house?

Windows 95 Turns 15

· Score: 1
Funny win 95 was probably Microsoft released a new GUI that was actually considered an improvement over the previous version.
if you were to count the number of days since the 0AD, Would you ignore leap days? UTC is a count of seconds since a specific time. All computers do is count time. It's the user interface that should adjust for leap seconds when it converts to local time.
Why can't Computer people and farmers use different time metrics?
Or how about the whales that die every time an apostrophe is abused and shoved into a perfectly good possessive to make a needless contraction? Huh, feeling smug now, Mr. Apostrophes Everywhere?
You got something against Contractions? You must've just popped out a kid or something?
Sersly... The GP even left out an apostrophe from the "ill". He also forgot to capitalize it.
My understanding is that your key is only region locked for ladder matches. Unranked casual matches can be with anyone anywhere. I don't actually have the game, just what I heard.
Your wrong.
The worst part is seeing Lag at pro gaming events like the IEM. They had to pause the game for 10 minutes at a Lan event.
Bear in mind that when a hard disk fails you typically loose at least some of your written data, and in worst case scenarios all of it. You won't be able to write to certain areas when an SSD fails, but you can often still read the data. So, yes, SSDs might fail a bit sooner, but its usually not critical like a hard disk fail.
I'd say hard drive failures fall into one of three categories: 1. Motor/Lube Failure (i.e. click of death) 2. bad sector (usually non fatal) 3. Controller Failure.
SSD's are really only immune to the first failure type, And the thing about the click of death Is... It usually starts clicking before it stops working. maybe not clicks, but at least other little warning signs that say: "Get you shit off this disc before it dies"
The guns that fuel Mexico's bloody drug war come from the United States of America, where we are apparently just a little too dumb for sensible gun control.
And the money to pay for them comes from drug sales.
People who pay for dope should realize that they are funding a network of gangs and cartels that murders far more people than the more familiar flavor of terrorist does. Ideally we would decriminalize the drugs and thereby yank the support out from under these people. But that ain't going to happen, so if you happen to use recreational drugs, please do your fellow man a favor and stop.
Wow.... "the turfs my servant has cut"....
He was a slave owner this brings new meaning to "preservation of their property."...
I'm thinking we need a 21st century idea of rights, not ones based around the idea that the state existed to preserve ones right to oppress other people.

I think it was called 753 AUC

Nah, I held a coin with AUC on it.

You'd get very confused - there was no 0 AD (or BC for that matter).
1 BC was followed by 1 AD.
Well if you want to get technical it was neither.
I think it was called 753 AUC

Or you just turn the whole phone off when your not using it. Add in push maps and you just turn it on to get your bearings with your existing maps.

Is there a good Starcraft2 DOTA/AOS clone yet, Most that i've played are mediocre at best
Actually, 10 one night stands a week does beat out 3 times a week from marriage. You clearly haven't done the math.
Also, as far as I know, there is no rule that a one night stand has to be the whole night.
I think It's pretty safe to assume if your on slashdot you probably haven't had experience with 10 one night stands in a single week.
Losing your wallet sucks?

Here's a 2 facts for you, Combating kidnapping although is under the FBI's purview, Is not one of the FBI's strategic Goals. Combating Drug use is....
Therefore according to the FBI putting people with a joint in the joint is more important then catching kidnappers.
how's that for priorities?
