It is high time the world ignored NK. If NK tries to use their missiles in anger his country will be wiped off the face of the earth. He cannot even feed his army let alone sustain any type of land attack.

Let lil Kim stamp his feet demanding attention because he has constructed a missile or two. The people will realize the failure that he is and turn on him.
AMD is down, but not out yet. A boneheaded move like this for Intel could be a boon for AMD.
Buying a MB with a soldered on CPU will also be much cheaper to manufacture, saves on CPU packaging too. This could equally be a nightmare for AMD who's primary advantage is the low price.
And Mr. Wanker lives up to his slashdot handle. It's ironic that you say,
I for one am fed up with the constant assault of cell phone conversations from people who have no idea how to be considerate to those around them.
when its obvious that you "have no idea how to be considerate to those around them" if you advocate disrupting everyone else's communication devices. The guy sitting next to you quietly streaming pandora over his mobile device and listening via headphones should not have his communications interrupted by an inconsiderate asshole like yourself.
I think that you are missing the point here, there is a difference between someone quietly talking into their cellphone and someone yelling into it at the top of their voice, hence the word 'assault'.
I was going to say - if I only payed $5.00 a gallon I'd throw a party. Right around $8.50 (give or take based on the exchange rate) a gallon is what I consider normal. Between this and the Americans I heard complaining yesterday that the Raspberry Pi boards didn't look to be available in the US -- I have to say that it comes across as petty whinging to the rest of the world.
The rest of the world can go pound sand then, because the reason you have expensive fuel is your own fault. You elect governments that keep the price artificially high in order to discourage cars and shovel people into mass transit. A huge chunk of your price is taxes. If you don't like this, then it's fully in your power to change it by changing your governments. If high gas and mass transit is what you want, hey, have at it. But quit telling us we're "whining" because we want to do it differently, and actually notice when prices go up.
Perhaps the US government should increase the tax on fuel. That way there would be an incentive to invest in public transport, bicycle tracks and even footpaths. The health benefits of getting out of their cars is something the US public could certainly do with. In the country I live in, I travel to work by train, it costs me $1500 per year for 20,000km of travel. I still own a car but only fill it up once every two months, so fuel prices aren't really an issue. Besides, fossil fuels are not going to last forever so alternatives / significant change of lifestyle will need to occur in our lifetimes.
I can remember the days when Intel had the whole market to themselves, the 486 CPU was over $1,000, worth more than its weight in gold. Then came along Cyrix who started making a cheaper alternative, the price soon dropped to less than $200 per CPU. The manufacturers were still making a profit and the consumers better off.
As long as the performance is not too far off the mark I will continue to buy AMD.
The atmosphere has had higher levels of greenhouse gasses to, in fact, at this time there were no polar caps and therefore no ocean currents. The sea levels were 65 metres higher too. Because of the lack of polar caps and the associated storms in those areas there was no oxygen being transferred in to the oceans. The oceans were stagnant and largely void of life. Once we get to this stage, it will take hundreds of thousands of years to get back to where it is now. This is the time it will take for nature to convert the carbon into coal, gas and oil, the way it did millions of years ago.
If everyone had listened to the economists talking about the future mortgage crisis, the crisis would have been averted. And those economists would have been called frauds for predicting something that didn't happen.
If the ratings agencies had rated the Sub-Prime based investments correctly then no one would have touched them with a 12.192 metre barge pole and the retirement funds and other institutions that invested in them wouldn't have lost their money. The US Gov't shouldn't have used public money to bail out a private stuff up either.
Normal panels are typically less than 20% efficient, so if these panels are only 20% of that then these panels are less than 4% efficient. - A lot of work for not much power.
I discovered Bing had its uses the other night when I was looking for an XP driver for the Miro DC10 video capture card. I couldn't find any reference on the manufacturers site as it wasn't a current product. Google listed a large number of parasite sites offering a driver locating software which you needed to pay for. Bing listed the driver downloadable from the manufacturers site on the first page.
The Chinese space program should be up and running by 2020, they will be cashed up and ready to buy some second hand space real estate going for a bargain price. Combine this with other developing economies and there should be enough effort / funds to keep it going. I'm sure Virgin Galactic will be looking for a space hotel to dock to by then.
The Prius is both a serial hybrid and a parallel hybrid, it depends on which of the two motor/generators is acting as a generator and which one is acting as a motor. The transmission is dead simple, there are no gears at all, not even a reverse gear. (This vehicle can only go in reverse direction under the power of an electric motor) In that sense there is very little to go wrong with it. The electonics is another story, but most cars are full of electronics anyway, this is the world we live in today.
Let me get this straight
M$ designed and still releases operating systems that are riddled with security issues.
M$ charges more or less the same amount for their OS no matter which country it is sold in.
It takes the consumer on the average wage this many years in countries such as China (20 years) and India(40 years) - (this has reduced in more recent years with office workers in China now taking much less), providing they lived on air, and saved every bit of money they earned, in order to save up enough money and purchase a legitimate copy of M$ Windoze.
M$ issued WGA to identify machines that were installed without an authentic license.
Once identified as non genuine, M$ refused security updates to those machines to protect them from infection through vulnerability.
These machines get compromised by malware due largely through lack of adequate security protection and are then used for malicious purposes on the internet.
M$ answer is to deny these user access to the internet.
I went down this path years ago only to have a system plagued with the occasional false alarm. I spent years tring to figure out why. The cause was discovered by accident when the police, who was nearby, commented that the alarm went off as soon as he pressed the button on his two way radio. The system was not immune to RF interference. I have since settled on a good quality commercial system that I have installed myself, it is programmable and covers all of the areas of the house that I want and sends me an SMS if it is set off. Someone else has done the painstaking R&D leaving me to get on with enjoying life.

It's a stupid April Fools gimmick...
It is April 2nd in this part of the world and everything still looks like gobbledigook.

They attacked because they stopped giving Assange his money. Now who is the bad guy here?
The world desperately needs a non-US based credit card so this sort of miss-guided government action doesn't happen again.
How does this get modded up? The batteries are Japanese (Yuasa) in origin, sourced by a French company (Alcatel/Thales).
But they still bought them on eBay, right?
Ebay price is going up since this post: https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:EBAY
True. I want to know who this Russian is who has a backup of my files.
his name is Kaspersky
Me too My hard drive crashed and I want to know if they can restore some of the files I lost...

I am told by a fiend that this is is quite sensitive and will pick up a good size bonfire if you make one big enough ( my BBQ didn't quite make it).
Anybody can build a satellite.
The hard question is, how are you going to get it launched?
Have you tried asking North Korea? They have the launch rocket but unable to get the satellite to work..

Depends if the aircraft had a pilot in the pilot seat or not. Could have been an unmanned aircraft.

Only a small sample has been released so far. Of the 251,287 documents, only 1,442 are on WikiLeaks so far.
I wonder if the arm was equipped with a black box recorder so that can analyse if the arm contributed to the accident?
In my experience, OO Write is more compatible than Word. It will open up a .docx document where as word 2003 won't.
