A 2.4GHz P4? Have you ever calculated how much per year you're paying to power that sucker? You could buy a great Cisco router that'd probably be cheaper overall if you kept it for more than a year.
DD-WRT on a WRT54GL is actually quite good. I've got a 12Mbit cable connection and I routinely have 20+ torrents open and seeding and it just doesn't hiccup, something like 6 or 7 different machines. Right now I have 285 active IP connections between all my machines right now, and I've seen 2+MB/s downloads which is approaching what a 12Mbit service can provide. Inexpensive and it works pretty well.
Those games have never been about the graphics. They've been about playing as your favorite teams and players. People get the new versions because they have the new trades and such that've gone on since last year.
Depends on how popular the game was. I've gotten some good deals on games that weren't A-list titles but were still great games. Stuff like Mercury Meltdown Madness for the Wii, and so on.
Sounds almost like the zero-tolerance policy in schools. You're gonna get kicked out and have the police called if you just shove someone, so why not smash their head into the wall and really get your point across?
The unfortunate thing is that he spent 9 months and a week with his biological mother. Who knows what she ate and how much proper nutrition he got while developing, what drugs she did, how well she took care of herself. There's research showing that children start out crying in their native languages, which means they can be affected quite a bit by pre-natal environmental conditions. It's hard to separate DNA from "environment" when you really can't tell what the environment was for a large portion of his quite literally most formative time.
Otherwise respectable? Wasn't the guy who pushed this shit through removed from two elected positions for corruption, and now only holds an appointed position?
Most of them are somewhat relaxed IEEE on doubles anyway. They don't do the full 80bit for long doubles, they typically only do the 64bit double. There are times where having those 80bit calculations are important, especially when you start running into huge data sets.
Yeah. A Model-T should be enough for anyone. These new "fuel injectors" instead of carburetors... just because they're more efficient and work more reliably doesn't mean we actually need those! Why would I want to update my technology to get new features? Gopher was enough for a long time! Why change?
Those are just recommendations, mostly because of the number of biopsies and other serious procedures that are performed needlessly, and no proof that a mammogram a year catches cancer any faster than one every two. The college aged woman should have gotten a pap smear, though. The new mammogram guidlines specifically say that they should not apply to people in higher-risk groups.
What it does is make every platform other that Windows a second-class platform. That's not "sanity and reason". That's apologizing for Microsoft's normal "embrace, extend, extinguish" product development cycle.
Why even kill the app? Just deny the remote service to pirated apps. That's their chief complaint about it anyway. Or do they realize that having the app working is actually good advertising?
Yup. My mom has gotten to the point where cigarettes smell bad to her any more, though. That's a huge turning point in the cravings for lots of people that I know.
A 767 most certainly is intercontinental. 5,200 nautical miles as a minimum range according to wikipedia, which will get you from San Francisco to Japan. Go to the higher ranges, and you easily cross between continents. New York to Paris is only 3,600 some miles.
He's saying that blaming the suicide on quitting smoking is stupid. And it is. The suicide was because of many other problems that existed without the nicotine. Of all the people I know who quit smoking, none of them have killed themselves. Your anecdote is pointless because it is just that... an anecdote. It's about the straw that broke the camel's back, and you are too self-righteous to realize that the cause was not only the straw, it was everything else loaded on his back.
Still, the physical effects of the other drugs shouldn't be taken lightly. Crack is not really that expensive compared to cigarettes. Just because nicotine is legally available doesn't tilt everything in it's favor. Especially considering that all of your benefits of nicotine apply equally to alcohol, and the GPP said that the nicotine was still harder to kick that booze.
And then there are people like my mom, who smoked for almost 20 years before deciding to quit, and she did. On tax day. Never smoked since. She went through atomic fireballs by the bulk-club size package for a few weeks, but it depends entirely on who the person is. Some people actually can just quit any time. Others can't.

So? Just because someone else will wash your car for free doesn't mean I will. If you want me to do something, you're gonna have to pay me to do it.

Except for with life in prison, you might be able to get out eventually. With a death sentence, you have no such chance.

To be fair, putting ice in your beer here in the US is still considered weird.

Most of them seem to work in Firefox 3.5 as well
The goal here is to leverage Silverlight into a stronger OS monopoly. Don't kid yourself.
But the salmonella has such a tangy flavor...

Heathen! vi forever!
I can't wait for HTML5 to start being widely implemented. Get away from both of them.
