Please, someone explain why he's marked as a troll when, in reality, he's exactly right. It's not for the content of his post, but for his use of the word "douchbags"
He should know the only time the word "douchebags" is acceptable on/. is when immediately followed or preceded by the word "Microsoft"
(Note that in some instances this may also work with the term "RIAA")
But you forget the compulsive typists like myself that can't help but divulge things like their cheating wife and erectile dysfunction on the internet in public forums... wait...
No, the rudeness is not criminal [...] Rudeness is a person exercising their right to be a loud, annoying, inconsiderate idiot. Unless it becomes a "public disturbance" which has a very loose legal definition. I agree that they weren't wholly correct in saying it is illegal, but the same goes for calling it legal also. Hooray for the gray areas of the law!
I believe this long-ass legal document from the FCC should answer your question.
Most importantly, this little subsection:
SEC. 333. [47 U.C.S. 333] WILLFUL OR MALICIOUS INTERFERENCE.
No person shall willfully or maliciously interfere with or cause interference
to any radio communications of any station licensed or authorized by or under this
Act or operated by the United States Government. So to answer your question: No, these devices are not FCC approved and they will not be approved unless the FCC and the US government change this section.
Try some of the cheap games, they can be very good - and the gameplay is what makes the game. If you really think that spending thousands of dollars on graphics makes a game then it's your choice whether to buy it or not. It's not just the graphics as much as the overall immersion in the game, and larger budget production games generally do a better job. There are many things that can be short-cut in order to produce a lower budget game like physics, writing, voice acting, graphics, ect. All of these are a part of the experience and if any single one is done poorly, the overall experience can be ruined. I agree that cheaper games "can" be addictive, but if you want a true experience then I'd have to agree with GPP because fewer corners will be cut.
I'm going to have to agree, His legitimacy wasn't determined on whether the news outlets "like him or not" as some are touting, but instead if he intends to make a legitimate bid for president. So far he has (in a nutshell) made fun of election laws and promoted his book (which is also his satirical "platform").
While he may have done some good by bringing humor into the picture and raised voting levels a bit if he had been given allowance to run, It won't change the fact that he's doing the whole thing as a joke.
There are a lot of people in the market for a low end computer just to be able to get on the internet. This could spread Ubuntu to a new segment and get a new crowd accustomed to something new. Just as long as the reviewer is correct that it is responsive under most circumstances. Of course there will be things that can't be done on that laptop, but these computers aren't exactly for high-end users.
While a lot of games won't reach the point that they need a clock that fast, Applications that use thousands of arithmetic or other basic CPU-based operations over long periods of time will easily use this power.
I'm guessing these processors will show up more frequently when associated with cad development / computer animation / data mining / compiling / ect. while there may be gamers like this that mistakenly think a high number will help them with everything, it is not the direction this processor is taking.
... but instead, cut scenes that end with you being hurled back into the action without warning. I've known several games where I sit back and enjoy watching the plot develop or thicken during a cut scene only to find myself reloading a save point after being hurled into a gunbattle with little warning and no time to think.
It's even more annoying when you,re REQUIRED to watch the cut scene again and again in order to get back into that action.
But you have to remember that in society today, all you have to say is "we want to fight" and then "terrorists," "global warming" or "Tom Cruise" and you're automatically doing the noble thing.
Lesson 4.
Never assume that you are 100% safe. There are always ways around things... I (unfortunately) used to work for Geek Squad and you wouldn't believe how many people got completely enraged about this one. They would bring in a virus-ridden computer in (mainly because they didn't follow lessons 1, 2 or 3) and ask why their firewall or virus software didn't catch the error. I had to explain that there are always ways around security measures and they need to continually update to help prevent this, but there is no failsafe. The conversation that generally followed is "So you're saying I spent ~$40 on a firewall and ~$40 on antivirus and it may not even prevent me from malware?!"
It made me wish I worked at a place like this just so I could tell them where to stick their virus protection.
...Is CD sales are dying out even without Vinyl in the picture. People are moving their purchasing dollars online because you can (nearly) instantly gain access to your new song right after purchase, without leaving your house, and you don't have anything taking up physical space to lug around.
CD sales may be on the decline but it hardly has anything to do with Vinyl records coming back into the picture.
Besides the obvious fact that Youtube and Hula are directed towards different markets, there's another major factor that prevents Hula from being a "Youtube killer." Youtube already has a giant fan base of regular watchers with no reason to switch. There is no way Hula can suddenly (and magically) change the behaviors of all, or even a large portion of the youtube community. In order for that to happen there would have to be something "wrong" with Youtube that Hula fixes.
When all is said and done, Hula may get rolling, but there's no way it will stop or even slow Youtube at this point.
The point of Microsoft bidding on a vulnerability is not to put a hush on it, but instead to do something about it.
The black market bidding wars currently exist because hackers want to get their hands on an unknown vulnerability they can exploit for a decent amount of time before it's discovered and patched, thus if Microsoft knows about it the value goes way down on the exploit because the time to patch is going to be vastly reduced. Microsoft won't (in theory) just sit on these bits of info (if they would like to remain in any way competitive), but instead use the info to produce a patch.
(correct me if I'm wrong but,) Isn't most HTTP traffic routed through ports 80 and 8080? I don't see how the average user could still have a functional internet connection with those ports blocked.
However, if microsoft were to go open source in their current situation there would be many people who would want to sabotage the project who are computer savvy enough to do good for the project in the first place. Microsoft has a large dominance and as can be seen by this patch release it is met with quite a bit of resistance.
The article makes no mention of the fact that it has been disease and not navigation problems the honeybees have been suffering from. There is already strong evidence that a disease that attacks the bees immune systems is the culprit and not anything to do with navigation.
So where's the link from navigation to disease. Sure the bees may not be returning, but maybe because they died along the way and not that they got lost. The only possible link is the bees know of certain things that cause disease that they stay away from, but until some link as such is shown this theory it isn't worth a dime.

no, it would double the capacity and quadruple the possible states.
It's still one bit v. two bits, but at the same time it's 2^1 vs 2^2 possible states.

With a name like UltraCodec, you KNOW it has to be good!

They just decided to choose the 2nd option.

Disease article 1
Disease article 2
Disease article 3
these are three of hundreds by the way.
So where's the link from navigation to disease. Sure the bees may not be returning, but maybe because they died along the way and not that they got lost. The only possible link is the bees know of certain things that cause disease that they stay away from, but until some link as such is shown this theory it isn't worth a dime.
So in that metaphor would unclogging the pipes be like plunging a giant toilet?
