Spill out on an interstate highway? Have you seen the youtube video where they tested the containers they ship this shit in? Hint, it involved being hit square on the side by a locomotive going 60 miles per hour, and there was no damage to the container.
I'd link it, but the proxy here disallows YouTube.
The point: they aren't shipping this stuff in a 1/4 inch thick stainless steel milk tanker. They actually built specialized equipment and defined procedures way back when they started planning Yucca Mountain.
This has never been the case, but nice try. Every video card on the market today has it's own firmware ROM, be it old school BIOS or EFI.
In fact, there's a growing community of folks out there learning more and more about how these ROMs are written, in order to customize settings on your GPU, such as clock speed, memory timing, fan RPM curves, and even hacking in EFI support for use on Macs.
Please explain how you could do that, and have those settings follow the card when you move it from one machine to another, if it was writing it to the motherboard. Idiot.
The question is if we will "fuck over" America any more than the Baby Boomers did.
For the first time in this country's history, the last generation is handing off a country that is worse than when they got it. Oh, but I suppose that's the next generation's problem?
Enjoy your Social Security and Medicare, because I won't see a fucking dime of it, even though I get the privilege of paying for yours. Take your self-righteous bullshit somewhere else - I have too much work to do in order to clean up after those that came before.
You realize that the Dolby TrueHD streams on Blu-ray discs shipping today can have audio bitrates in the 18Mbit/sec range, right? DTS-MA, also on Blu-ray, can be up to 24Mbit.
If that's the worst broadband connection in your area, I want to move there. Also, you might want to have an idea of what you're talking about before you deride people for having "absolutely no fucking idea what you are taking [sic] about." Just because he put the word "stereo" in where he should have used the word "surround" doesn't mean you need to blow a massive Internet screed at him.
Re: universal remote that doesn't scream "dork" but actually works. Check out the Logitech Harmony One. It looks mostly like any other remote, but programs to allow one button to activate any activity. One button to turn on the tv, receiver, blu ray player, and set everything to the proper inputs / outputs. One button to change to AppleTV, change I/O, and turn off the blu-ray player. Etc.
I absolutely love mine - it's made a complex setup so easy to use that my baby boomer parents can use it.
This makes way more sense - much the same as the iPod-out API is being integrated into in-car entertainment. Apple doesn't want to deal with making the in-car computer / navigation / control system, they'll just expose a door into their world that BMW, Mercedes, Ford, etc. can use.
HDMI gives you what you're looking for. Get a receiver that takes in all the other jumblefuck of cable types and variety, and run a single HDMI cable to the display. Then, put the receiver, BluRay, Xbox, etc. in a cabinet to conceal said jumblefuck. For an extra clean install, put the HDMI cable in the wall / under the carpet / in a piece of J-channel trim, and have an electrician install a 110v receptacle behind where the TV will be.
Justify your ass beating any way you can. No one gave Boston a chance going in, and they took the cup home. Oh, then Vancouver decided to pretend that they were Cleveland and trashed their own city.
That would require a shedload of money that, even if a utility company would spend it (and they very well might), still wouldn't get the job done due to the nuclear handwringing in a post-Fukushima political climate.
You though the NIMBY-ism was bad before, just try to start a new nuclear generating station project now.
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima was on August 6, 1945.
The atomic bombing of Nagasaki was on August 9, 1945.
If Japan wanted to surrender, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have taken them 3 days to pick up the fucking phone / telegraph / radio transmitter. Oh, and there was that whole Potsdam Declaration two weeks earlier (July 26,1945) where the US, UK, and China said that if Japan didn't surrender, they would face "prompt and utter destruction" - a description that fits a 20kt nuclear blast pretty well.
I believe that a whole bunch of munitions dropped in the first Gulf War was surplus 2,000-pound bombs left over from Vietnam, retrofit with guidance packages. I'm too lazy to look for a source though.
Personally, I'm surprised there were 73 Senators with no Presidental aspirations. A vote against ethanol in the US Congress is a sure loss in any Iowa Caucus that follows the vote.

Yep. Spend a billion Euro now, get a nice return on that from Germany and Italy, because they can't meet energy demands.
Yeah, and then you can't even RTFA if you want to, because it's behind a paywall.
Well done, Taco. Well done.
Ok, that's hilarious.
You win.
You first. Reduce your usage of evil electricity by turning your computer off, and not turning it back on again.
In fact, here's a lot more information about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spent_nuclear_fuel_shipping_cask

No wires visible whatsoever.
That's what I was looking for. Instead I got three pages of word bricks that didn't tell me squat.
I believe that it has happened in the past, but a sitting president facing a primary challenger is extremely rare.

In imperial Japan, if the emperor says to knock it the fuck off, they do. They had no problem doing so after the second bombing.
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima was on August 6, 1945.
The atomic bombing of Nagasaki was on August 9, 1945.

Don't rewrite history please.

We also pay for this shite with debt and fabricated currency
We're buying bombs with bitcoins?
I think that everyone has come off their 2008 Hopium high at this point, and is wondering just who the fuck they put in office.
Barack Obama of 2008 has only a physical resemblance to the Barack Obama of 2011. There isn't much of a policy resemblance, that's for sure.
increasing in value too quickly for its own good.
Has it increased to something beyond zero, and I didn't notice? Can I go to the cafeteria and purchase a waffle with my Bitcoin wallet?
So you just defined how vandalism is a drain on productivity. In other news, water is still wet.
What is the House's stance on this and how would the vote breakdown be if it actually came up for vote?
I don't know. Does the Majority Whip's office post to Slashdot? =P
