Accomplished? You mean declaring trade treaties secret as a "national security" issue, pushing health care reform with no clear plan or communication about how it'll work economically, making sure that the previous administration's power grab stays grabbed, keeping Gitmo open... what exactly has he accomplished that has been good for the average citizen of the US or the world?
There are a couple billion people using the Internet. Following the money on every nickel and dime isn't feasible. Hell... the police rarely catch pickpockets as it is. Why would online crime be any different? Most people will be too ashamed to admit they got fleeced, and then advertisers really don't have a perfect picture of who is displaying their ads all the time.
That was written over a year ago. I don't know if you know this or not, but shit changes a LOT in open-source land in a year. Go spread your ignorance elsewhere.
Actually, most individuals make less than they did in the '50s. It's just that households make more on average, usually because both people are working.
An ATI x1600-x1950 if you want it out of the box now. Otherwise, wait about 6 months and pretty much any ATI card should be supported through OpenGL 1.4. Or were you trying to make a point?
Unicode is fun... you can register a domain name with characters so it looks a hell of a lot like ebay.com, but it's not.
The takeaway here is that if you get an email from your bank or some other place like that, open your web browser and type in the address. Don't click on the links. Ever. If they're competent, you will get the same messages logging in as you did in your email.
I'm not intending to be rude, but it sounds like the problem is your wife's parenting, not yours. Kids tend to live up to their expectations. Even my 9 month old will listen to us and behave a certain extent. He stays away from cords (or looks at us as he goes for them, just being a pain), but he knows cords are something he should not play with.
Depends on the employee. I've worked with a number of people who I wouldn't trust to choose appropriate attire simply because I don't think it's something that ever occurred to them.
Harbor Freight is awesome for tools like that. When you just need something big and heavy and you don't care about it breaking, you can get them for half the price or less;)
I think I'd be suing the shit out of Warner if I were him. I believe the article also notes that they're selling his stuff on iTunes without his permission.
What would Evolution add technologically to the game? Medicine, refrigeration, nuclear power, physics... all of those things have changed how we interact with the world. Evolution really only changes how we understand the world. It would give you no units, abilities or anything I can think of in the game world... why add it in? The only thing I can think of is possibly making the Origin of Species a wonder that you could create, but that's not on the scale of all the other wonders in the game. I mean, they do pay homage to Darwin by including a quote from him. Isn't that enough?
Just like with Microsoft, where the Government comes in, I will assume the worst until the facts prove otherwise. The facts may well be on the FBI's side in this case, but that doesn't mean that I will trust that they're right just because they're the FBI.
Did you even read the article? They found that heat WAS NOT one of the factors. Which makes the rest of your statement seem like just as much bullshit.
I use my Windows box for running PlayOn for my PS3, games, and ripping DVD's. That's about it. I use my Linux laptop and media center for actually watching them and such.
The problem is that the FBI has a track record of sticking it's nose into matters that shouldn't concern it. Even more so with the PATRIOT act. National Security Letters, anyone? The initial reaction to distrust anything the FBI does is entirely of their own making. If someone kicks random people in the balls, would you just stand there next time you saw them? Or would you cover your junk?
The main problem I have with that is the "approximate value of $1.5 million".
That is not their value. That is their price. Very different concepts. In a free society, they have much value, but shouldn't have a price. It's information every citizen should have access to.

No. It's already risen if it's casting any shadow. Mr. Yutang has a better grasp on the night/day cycle than the mods here, apparently.

Ok, that IS creepy. My name is Dave :P
That's ok. Did you know that the word gullible isn't in the dictionary? It's true.
:( And she didn't get it when she found it
Sad thing is that in my 10th grade drama class, the teacher actually got a girl to look it up
Makes me fear the FBI a little less, though... or maybe more. Incompetence combined with malevolence is pretty fucking scary.
Man, I'd never get into my account then. There are always hotties working at my bank.

It's not a religion if you don't have enough followers:
"What is a cult? It just means not enough people to make a minority." - Robert Altman
"A cult is a religion with no political power." - Thomas Wolfe

Wait... you're my creepy uncle?
Oh, right. My bad. I retract my previous assertion :P

The article states 5-6%, which jives with benchmarks I've found.
