My ears got plugged up while swimming and I could barely hear the next day. Rockbox's recorder function outputs the microphone to headphones even when it is not recording. That $30 Clip+ worked reasonably well as a makeshift hearing aid, as long as I was facing the person I was trying to hear.
If you check a competing exchange, you will find that the price of bitcoins has gone from $17 to $13. How does that constitute a crash when the price of a BTC had fluctuated down to around $13 within 48 hours before the breach? This is a security breach that only affected people using MtGox to trade their bitcoins for USD, so the trust in MtGox has been undermined, not the trust in the entire BTC economy. Most traders will likely move over to tradehill.com or some other competing exchange who have hopefully learned some lessons from MtGox's failures.
The thing about currency is that if it is not properly secured, it can be stolen. When someone robs a bank or steals a wallet, do we stop trusting paper money or do we just work that much harder to keep it secure?
First sentence in TFA: "A year ago I blogged about how hackers managed to hijack hundreds of high-profile websites to make them promote online stores that sold pirated software at about 5-10% of a real cost." When they say pirates, they are referring to the fact that these web sites were built to sell pirated software. Even a profession that was not in the tech black market category would have fit in the summary. For example "To drive traffic to their web sites full of illegal and potentially poisonous recipes, rogue chefs hack reputable legitimate websites injecting hidden spammy links and creating doorway pages."
Before and during FDR's administration, the free market electric company shills argued that providing "socialized electricity" would be a disaster financially since generating electricity was supposedly so expensive that there was no way the government could provide cheaper service. To back up their claims, they pointed to a few mismanaged municipal electric programs as proof that it could never work.
In reality, many of the electric companies were enjoying fat monopolies and wanted to keep their operations small scale so they could keep prices high. The government finally stepped in during the 1930's and proved that electricity did not have to be so expensive if the provider did not have profit as their only motivation.
This sounds so familiar to another debate over other services that should or should not be "socialized" come to think of it...
XBMC still doesn't run on 360's though. I'd sell it and get a standalone media player such as a WD TV if you don't need network streaming or an Mvix Ultio if you do. Better yet, get a DVI to HDMI cable and watch stuff off your computer.
The movie just came out. I don't know about you but Moore responded to valid criticisms of his movie with "Have you seen it? No? Then you can't talk about it." even though much of the content of the movie has been public for weeks.
Yes. Much of the content has been public but those are the verifiable facts that the media has come out with. However, there are other parts of the movie, such as specific interviews and some of Moore's conclusions that need to be seen for there to be an informed discussion. For example, recently the media has let everyone know that these flights were able to leave on 9/13. People who have not seen the movie may have come to the conclusion that Moore is mad that we made an exception for these people, however that is not the case; he is mad that bin Laden's family was allowed to leave without being questioned like what happens in murder cases where the accused and their families don't have connections. Almost all people can learn someting new from this movie, whether they agree or not, so you do have to see it to be able to criticize it.
Furethermore, since Moore has consistently been misleading and untruthful in the past, what's to assume he'd change his tune.
Considering that almost all the arguments against Bowling for Columbine have been nitpicky, at best, I would hope Moore would be especially careful to get the facts as true as possible this time and leave no room for the nitpickers. If there are any glaring misleading facts or flat out untruths, watch the movie, find the evidence to the contrary, and get back to us later.
Even if I didn't think Moore was a big, fat, pathetic loser who takes out his own depression on everyone around him with his non-stop torrent of hate speech, I'd still have a hard time believing anyone who was so full of himself that he must weigh 300 pounds.
Just because he's fat doesn't mean he's lying. His physical appearance has nothing to do with whether the facts in this documentary are untrue or misleading.
What else could explain that he so detests the very country where someone like him could become so rich and famous?
If he hated this country, he would simply move to Amsterdam or Canada and spark up a fat doobie. Instead, he cares enough about this country to show a darker side of our government that everyone should see. The drive to make our government better and oust the shitty is much more patriotic than being in denial and allowing it to continue.
There is no doubt in my mind that he is using his "satire" and "mockumentaries" to blur the lines between truth and his warped anti-American political views in order to to sway the ignorant, or more commonly these days, people too angry to bother with facts or reason. Any legitimate points he might make (however few) are far outweighed by his gross manipulation and distortion of facts.
See above about true patriotism and seeing the movie before you can dispute what is presented.
I have one suggestion to Bush's critics: If Bush is so bad, what would you do better? Even his opponent in the presidential race can't answer that question. Stop hating so much and start coming up with answers of your own. I'm so sick of hearing what's wrong with the USA and the current administration with no reasonable alternatives being offered except "Hate the rich!" and "Kowtow to the U.N.!"
Let's hear some ideas for a change.
Here's some wacko liberal ideas; we shouldn't have invaded Iraq in the first place and we probably wouldn't have gone to war if the Bush administration hadn't managed to weave such a huge web of lies. Liberals may seem to have no ideas this time, but we do; peace. War can only result from someone's idea to go to war. People and entire countries can stay at peace without anyone saying "Hey, we sure could use some more peace." I am not saying that we should quit fighting terrori
Yes! MTF toys were awesome. I can remember having some of my best gaming experiences as a sniper and dropping frickin' airstrikes on unsuspecting enemy snipers but not before a radio voice would come on and say "Targets painted. Going for payload delivery." Not to mention that whenever someone thought they could escape your sniper wrath by jumping in the water, you could toss a toaster in the water to electricute their sorry ass. I hope they will have airstrikes in this new game.
You could try to get a refurbished one from an online store. I just got one (from a friend) and it's one of those iMac DV Special Edition graphite colored ones which is 400mhz G3 with a DVD-rom drive, 128mb ram, an ATI Rage 128, and an Airport slot. Best of all you dont have to take the whole thing apart just to get to the RAM since it has a door in the back with easy access to two ram slots (regular PC SDRAM DIMM's) which you can upgrade to 1024mb. I have OSX 10.2 Jaguar running on it and it runs smoothly. I've seen these lately on Ebay for around $350.
It's been a long road Gettin' from there to here It's been a long time But a fast ATA is finally here I can download pr0n really fast at last So much that I'll go blind Slow ATA's not gonna bottleneck no more No it's not gonna change my mind 'Cause I've got pr0n, lots of pr0n I've got so much I dont have to Ever leave the house Thanks to faster ATA I've got such hairy palms Because of my fast hard drive I've got pictures Of all the pr0n stars I've got (I've got) I've got (I've got) I've got Pr0n Lot's of pr0n

Who buys a refurbished 3DS over a new one these days? The Gamestop price on a used one is currently $159.99 while they sell new ones for $169.99.

Wow not only are there bugs in software, now there is software in bugs. *ducks*
It's been a long road
Gettin' from there to here
It's been a long time
But a fast ATA is finally here
I can download pr0n really fast at last
So much that I'll go blind
Slow ATA's not gonna bottleneck no more
No it's not gonna change my mind
'Cause I've got pr0n, lots of pr0n
I've got so much I dont have to
Ever leave the house
Thanks to faster ATA
I've got such hairy palms
Because of my fast hard drive
I've got pictures
Of all the pr0n stars
I've got (I've got) I've got (I've got) I've got
Pr0n
Lot's of pr0n
