"Someone who disagrees with the vast majority of scientists will be given partial jurisdiction over NASA, EPA, DOE, NSF, NOAA, and the USGS."
This is pure, unmitigated bullshit. These are Executive Branch agencies and Congress has ZERO jurisdiction over them, outside of changing the laws, which requires the President's approval in 99.999% of cases.
He'll be able to be a blowhard, but he won't be able to dictate agency policy.
First of all, OCZ did NOT buy PLX. They acquired a few employees from the company, but they did NOT buy the company itself.
Second, this is not OCZ's first "all in-house" SSD, because it is not all "in house." OCZ still does not make their own NAND (thank God), so this is not an "all in house" drive.
Why the fuck would you buy a boot-locked Wintel 8 PC to use for a linux server or remote application? Why wouldn't you just build your own server like the rest of us?
I know I am pissing into the wind in asking people to call their senators and congressmen and voice your opposition to the new bill that gives the government warrantless, suspicionless access to your email and anything you store in the cloud, like your google docs.
Once government can read all of your email (not just what you leave on GMail longer than 6 months) on a whim without suspicion, they'll be able to come after all of their opposition.
"Oh no, they'll never do that," or, "oh, that'll never happen to ME." Lots of Jews said stuff like that in the 30's.
An iframe injection that redirects you to a malicious website where you have to download something and run it as root to get infected sounds almost nothing like something that runs as a normal user and exploits local weaknesses to gain privileged access surreptitiously.
Yes, but in cases where the misconduct is clearly intentional and obviously for the specific purpose of benefiting one of the litigants, it is hard to simply ignore the facts and pretend it didn't happen.
I was on such a jury once and when it was discovered that one of the jurors had been employed by the plaintiff and had taken specific, intentional measures to conceal that relationship and influence the jury (which is almost exactly what this guy did), after the case was adjudicated, the case was expeditiously thrown own and a new trial ordered.
I hope that happens here, because on its face this appears to be a clear-cut case of an Apple Fanboi lying to get on a jury and make sure the case goes Apple's way, which it did.
Here's a step by step approach to becoming a commercial airline pilot:
1) Spend $15-20K on getting your private pilots license 2) Spend another $10K on your instrument, high performance, and complex ratings 3) Fly 250 hours at a cost of about $100/hr to build time and experience 4) Spend another $5-10K on a commercial rating 5) Become a flight instructor, getting paid about $10-15/hr to put your life in the hands of a student pilot - fly about 500 hours as a flight instructor 6) Spend another $5-10K on a CFII rating, so you can instruct instrument, getting a ~$2/hr raise 7) Fly another 500 hours at $12-17/hr teaching instrument 8) Spend $5-10K on Multi Engine Instrument and MEI-Instructor ratings 9) Fly 200 hours Multi 10) Apply for a first officer position at a Charter or Regional making $10-12/hr, but with benefits, if awarded job, spend $5-10K of your own money on the rating for whatever aircraft you'll be flying, and your ATP rating 11) Fly 1000-2000 hours as a first officer, and then apply for a captain position making $15-20/hr with benefits. 12) Fly 1000-2000 hours as captain for a Charter or Regional, then apply for a First Officer position for a major airline, making $20K/year - the airline MIGHT pay for your rating on their B737 or whatever you'll be flying 13) Do that for 25 years 14) On a seniority basis, you'll be able to apply for a captain position when an existing captain quits, dies, or retires. Then you'll make $100K plus.
So the short story is, you'll lay out $200K of your own money to get a job that pays $10/hr, and you'll make that for 25 years, and then maybe you'll get a left seat and make the big bucks, but chances are you won't, because you'll either get sick of working 100 hours/week for 40 hours of $10/hr pay and quit, or you'll fail your Class-1 Medical on Blood Pressure and lose your job.
That's actually a brilliant idea. I am sure there are lots of teams who would love to have media coverage of some kind, and allow the media to tweet all they want.
If the university suddenly found themselves blacklisted from media reporting everywhere, they would change their tune quickly.
Does the person even know that computer components are not sitting there consuming their tdp all the time?
The tdp is just a theoretical number that represents the maximum amount of heat energy the package is capable of dissipating without being damaged. It is NOT the amount of power the device will consume in normal operation. In practice, you will almost NEVER see a CPU or GPU consuming its tdp.
Of course, you may need to lobby your school board to get out of bed with TI, and use calculator-agnostic text books, and that is sometimes easier said than done.
Obama is willing to compromise, as long as he gets everything he wants.
The sooner they realize that, the sooner we can move on to truly punishing the evil, greedy corporations that got us into this mess by creating booming economies over the years in the first place. Had the concepts of capitalism and big business never created the most prosperous Nation in the first place, we would not be in this mess we're in.
This isn't price gouging. They have to recover the costs of cleaning up and/or rebuilding the plants that were flooded out. That's pretty expensive - probably in the billions of dollars.
How else are they going to pay for it, other than charging more for their products?

What he said.
It's better to spend money on entitlements, pork projects, a non-existent green energy product market, and free health care for all...
At least, that's the takeaway from the last 5 or so years of dealing with our fucking retarded and senseless government.

Apparently nobody watches The Simpsons anymore ...
Sheesh...
Well shit.
Heh...
It'll come up under the new Congress. Don't worry.

You know the full-disk encryption in Ubuntu stores the passphrase in cleartext on sector 0x7Gh on the hard disk, don't you?

But, not for people who know how big a fucking Oreo is.
Irregardless, I'm sure it didn't change how the coffee tasted.

My machine is still a dual-core Athlon X2-5200 with 4GB, oh, but I upgraded the video to one of those fanless Geforce 210 cards.
It runs Ubuntu and LibreOffice just fine, and I even enjoy the occasional game on it.

Yeah no kidding.

I went to Costco today, and they were cleaned out of coffee. Now I know why. The preppers must be prepping for The End of the Coffee as we know it.
Don't build large cities with 10 million people where a bad storm can put them underwater.
Win 8 + BitDefender still being infected by 15% of malware is HORRIBLE.

Inflation is only low if you calculate it like the government does and exclude everything that has increased in price.
