So? He played the US government for fools, and caused that. Whether it's self-inflicted or not doesn't change the damage that was caused or the catalyst that caused it.
The problem is we're still blaming the catalyst rather than the reagents. We have not fixed our fear-based behavior, and as long as we don't do that, the terrorists have won.
You're the anomaly, like me. My mom nearly freaked out that I let my kid play in the front yard for 5 minutes by himself, without me watching his every move. She called me in a panic when the planes hit the WTC (I near-ish to a major metro area. By the Rocky Mountains.)
You are not the person that's causing this. People like my Mom, who have been conditioned by decades of the Cold War to always be afraid, are responsible. They've forgotten what separates us from the Soviets, but not the fear-based responses.
Careful there. If you don't throw in Black Helicopters to prove your insanity the government may deem you actually dangerous instead of just a conspiracy nut...
They do. It's just that stupid people don't realize that, and they've been conditioned to think that a higher price makes things better in all instances when regarding technology and use that as a proxy instead of actual understanding.
I'm not saying he's not wealthy. I'm saying he isn't in the ruling elite if he doesn't use his wealth to exert political influence and vice versa. I wouldn't classify Bill Gates as part of the ruling elite, either.
National security? It's never been about security. It's always been about money. Those x-rays at airports don't make us any safer, but they sure made a bundle for the companies that make them.
Yup. And those of us who do know how to read maps can find our locations much faster and choose alternate routes, or find interesting sites much easier.
If you have a 2500K, you're gonna overclock. Otherwise you should have saved $25 and gotten the i5-2500, which is identical except for the unlocked multiplier. Same with the 1100T. Should have gotten a 1090T if you're not going to overclock. I'm still wondering how you say it's just barely in Intel's favor though, because the ONLY benchmark that the 1100T comes close to it on are POV Ray and some video encoding benches where it wins by a very small margin, and that's very seldom the only or even primary thing people do with their computers. All other benchmarks the 1100T gets trounced: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=203
At stock speeds, sure. But my i5-2500K will clock at 4.4GHz at stock voltages, which puts it's encoding pretty well above the 1100T, overclocked or not. And any single-threaded tasks (of which most of what anyone does is) will be much better served by the 2500K.
I love AMD. I have two of their GPUs in my desktop here, my last build was a Phenom II 955. But right now, AMD doesn't even come close in the raw price, price/performance or performance/watt categories. I wish they did, and I really hope Bulldozer gets them competitive again. But as it stands now, AMD isn't a good choice for a completely new machine.
I depend on my peripheral vision a lot IRL, and I find that even though I don't directly look at the side monitors of my setup I do get a lot of benefit of being able to see movement on them, so I know where the next threat is coming from. I do agree that it makes everything more immersive. And the extra desktop space is nice for working on when I'm not gaming:)
It's nice. I run dual 6970's with 3x23" screens, and the peripheral vision in stuff like Left 4 Dead 2 is really slick. Lets me see when a horde is coming from beside me while I'm shooting zombies in front of me. But like in the article, the game support is hit and miss. Many games don't support FOV changing, or if they do they have horrible issues with it. And some games (Borderlands) will support the resolution, but the menus are designed for a 16:9 aspect so they're cut off top and bottom. Just stupid programming, and not very hard to rectify.
If you budget, save, and have insurance, a major emergency shouldn't make you lose everything. If a problem CAN make you lose everything, you're gambling and hoping you pull the high cards.
The problem is that the worthlessness was known, and Nvidia stalled and denied the issues even in the face of evidence. And now that they FINALLY gave in, the laptops are relatively slow.
Fuck that. Nvidia screwed people out of time as well as the product itself, and they should not be compensated just for the raw hardware as it was 3 years ago, they need remuneration for the years they had to deal with the lies and lost productivity and likely money because they had to buy a replacement that didn't have the Nvidia problem.
Doesn't sound like it was your home, then. If you could be evicted at any moment, I'd think you shouldn't enter into contracts tied to your physical location...
Bin Laden was one of the more intelligent leaders, able to plan very well. His death leaves a major vacuum of talent, experience and funding for Al Quaeda. No, it doesn't stop the problem. But there is no magic bullet that will. We need a combination of politics and military action to make things safe. So far, we've only really done half of that.
Your totally unfounded and unsupported suspicion is a very good reason to try to get kiddie porn off the internet and a specious "if x then y" train of thought? Really? No wonder our country is in the toilet.
You don't "create" a pedophile with pornography. You create one by having someone subjected to an abnormal childhood and distorted understanding of sexuality and growth *cough*childpageants*cough*, or various other developmental issues. Just as you can't make a straight man gay by having him look at pictures of naked men, you cannot make a non-pedophile a pedophile.
Young porn is arousing to most men because that's the age the girls were when they started having sexual feelings, and attach those feelings to women around that age. Almost all of the young porn I've seen has still been of sexually mature girls who just look young. Pedophilia is not just liking young models that are sexually mature (regardless of the law), pedophilia is being sexually attracted to the pre-pubescent.
That's why it's branded as Ubuntu 11.04. Jaunty is the internal code-name, and doesn't matter to most people. Just like Apple sells it as OS X 10.7 or whatever stupid numbering they have, Ubuntu does the same thing.
It's not NTSC over composite. It's a proper 480p output if you enable it in the Wii menu. I have no problems with dot crawl, all the graphics are MUCH sharper (especially the HUD style things), and so on.
Really, get the component cables. They're $10-$15.
Top of it's game? The Wii's sales have plateaued, and game sales have gone down. As long as they are backwards compatible, I can't see this as anything but a good move. It'll cannibalize a few sales this Christmas, but they can't be counting on too many there anyway.

So... it's only $1 trillion or so that Bin Laden has directly cost us? Along with our freedoms? In that case, never mind.
They do. It's just that stupid people don't realize that, and they've been conditioned to think that a higher price makes things better in all instances when regarding technology and use that as a proxy instead of actual understanding.

If you're not living in Washington with a 7+ figure bank account and numerous political connections, you aren't in the wealthy ruling class.

I think he was talking the other way around. 1000 songs is too many.

Most of those contracts that say that also say that if you don't agree to the changes, you can be let out of your contract with no penalties.

i'll bite, i counts more :)
You don't make your case very well...
Next year. It's not releasing until 2012. Which is still 2 years earlier than Sony or MS are refreshing their consoles.
