And the solution to that is to fight an unwinnable war that increases violence all over, drives the profit of making drugs higher, and spends billions of our tax dollars to make shit worse for us?
Why don't we treat drugs like the public health problem they are, rather than something to be "fought"? You can't protect everyone from themselves, but you can help them help themselves. And you'd have a lot fewer women and children beheaded because of attitudes like yours.
Neither. You've just proposed a hypothesis. That's what all of science is about.
Really, it's ok to say "we don't know". We can't say for sure if it developed down there or migrated. I doubt the scientists said anything to that effect, either. Or even if they did, most of them wouldn't. Science articles are typically rife with horribly inaccurate "paraphrasing" because the journalist doesn't know what they're talking about and try to translate scientific jargon to "layman" speak.
Wired's article said 0.05cm. So half a millimeter. Can't really get a picture of that too easily. I mean, it's just a roundworm... it's not like it's that amazing unless you get up close.
"In the USA, the trademark holder cannot act against domestic resellers of products he put on the market himself. The same applies if the product was manufactured by a third party with permission of the trademark holder (a licensee). This is called the "first sale" doctrine. The idea behind it is that the trademark holder has had a chance to ensure the quality of the product and to make money of the first sale, and then he no longer has a right to control further distribution of that product. Of course it only applies to the particular products he put on the market, making an exact copy of that product and selling that is trademark infringement."
Being that it's not installed with root permissions means it's easy to remove. When it can keep you from seeing it when you're looking for it (aka, root permissions), you're hosed. It's the difference between fully installing the system again along with all your programs and such and then restoring from backup, and just possibly restoring from backup if something gets hosed. You do back up, right?
There's a difference between qualification and having a lesson plan. A lesson plan means she can follow a cohesive path in an appropriate amount of time and have exercises and answers to questions. Just knowing your shit doesn't give you that.
He's not condoning it. He's simply explaining that the post he is replying to doesn't have a valid concern and why, not saying people should cheat at anything. A car traveling at 60mph is a completely different situation when it's traveling toward you at 60mph. The GPP is saying the car isn't really coming at us at 60mph.
Reading comprehension FTW for both you and whoever modded you up.
From what I gathered, their DRM implementation didn't really keep people from playing, but it was much slower than the non-DRM version of the game. A common fix going around message boards was to replace the DRM executable with the GOG version. Looks like they're just making that the "official" fix and spinning it. Can't say I blame them for it, really.
It doesn't. It creates a medium of exchange that all players on the network agree upon, and cannot change unilaterally.
You think your US government backed cash has any actual value to it? It has as much (or as little) value as the people who hold it believe it does. Same with bitcoins. It's effectively a cryptographically secure, peer-to-peer financial system. It doesn't contain value, just like no monetary system since the gold standard actually contained value.
It really is a lot more like mining, though... you're looking through piles of stuff, testing to see if it matches a given criteria that is determined by the network.
If UI's aren't designed around it, it's useless. I understand what you're meaning, but current monitors + current software just don't work at lower resolutions. If I were still learning and programming in DOS, maybe, but not now. I think you have fonder memories of your old system than it really deserves;) I know I had the same problem with Super Mario Brothers... I remembered it as being awesome, but when I played it again, it just felt... tedious.
As for the PDA issue, you may consider looking at some rootable Android devices. I know the Cyanogen mod allows a number of graphical render effects, those may make things more palatable.
We've got some of those theaters here in Denver, too. It's nice. The only problem is half the seating is barstool-style, which doesn't lend itself to movie watching.
I don't even skip trailers any more. Got myself a copy of AnyDVD HD and all my Blu-Rays go straight to the hard drive as a feature movie. I'll watch the Blu-Ray once for special features, they're rarely worth it though, and even then... I can rip the out-takes as well and not have to dick with the annoying menus and trailers and crap on media that I paid to have available any time.
I would prefer 1920x1200, but 1080 vertical pixels are enough. 768 however, are not. THAT is the resolution I have issues with... 1366x768 is completely useless.
Yes, just like their archiving of your location data keeps you more secure... Appleistotallyperfect, right? They wouldn't EVER let anything unknown or an app that did more than it said into the app store, right?
This is simply an implementation flaw. Shit like that happens on ANY system. It's just that with open systems you actually learn about it. Are you SURE that you know all the security weaknesses in your iProduct? Are you sure Apple is telling you everything? How can you be?

I didn't realize negative numbers were involved in counting...

That's funny. I have poclbm running on my Mobility Radeon 5830, and both my desktop's Radeon 6950's (unlocked to 6970's and overclocked).
Perhaps you need to install the OpenCL dev kit or something? Because if the consumer level parts can run the miners, the pro level cards should have no problem. Try downloading the drivers from AMD and not HP: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx
I don't know for sure, though.
They're not parent groups. They're moral crusaders, out to inflict their narrow field of view (and likely shame of their own thoughts) on you.

960 is a lot more pixels than 768. Almost 200 vertical pixels... that makes a significant difference.
Why would I want 1600x1200 when I could have 1920x1200? Is losing pixels a good thing?

Depending on what it was, if you sell it all as a "lot" it wouldn't be that hard to make some money.
I'm planning on setting piles of clothes out on the sidewalk. Should be good for a laugh :)
No interest in making money and selling them to someone that actually would want them?
