The TSA already has half the world paranoid as to their intentions, and now they've taken away people's ability to put on a trusty tinfoil hat? This is the step too far.
Don't worry, they'll just give you more on the plane anyway. Last time I flew the meal was served covered with foil and I got a soda in an aluminum can.
I was really disappointed by the comparative performance of the AMD 290x 4GB vs my nVidia 650 Ti Boost 2GB.
The nVidia let's me run games like Borderlands 2 and Skyrim at max settings on my old Core 2 Duo smoothly, yet the 290X hitches and drags, almost as if it were streaming the gameplay from the hard drive. I expected a card with 2000+ shaders to be faster than that.
If my processor isn't bottlenecking the 650s performance too badly, at least the 290X should be able to cap out at something reasonable.
That doesn't make any sense, as I've got a 7850 that runs Skyrim at max settings with no problem, but I do have an i7 processor.
Yes, all of that is true, but all season tires are passable in the snow. If fact, for Canada, only about 50% of the people put on snow tires in the winter, yet we all get around fine. I have snow tires on my current car, but left all season tires on my previous one, so I've done both. Snow has never stopped me from getting to work.
I find vigorous sex at bedtime really helps me to fall asleep quickly. Unfortunately, I've been wearing a cast on my hand for the last two weeks and my quality of sleep has really suffered.
Remind me of one of David Letterman's Top Ten Lists from a long time ago:
Surprises from a recent sex survey:
For teenage boys, the most frequeny fantasy during sex is..... having a partner!
Admiral Motti: Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe.
Stewie (Darth Vader): That is fantastic. Terrific work. So no weaknesses at all?
Admiral Motti: N... no.
Stewie (Darth Vader): You, uh, you hesitated there. Is there something I should know?
Admiral Motti: No, it's virtually indestructible, like 99.99%.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Uh, okay, wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask what's the 0.01?
Admiral Motti: Well, I mean, there's this little hole. It was kind of an aesthetic choice by the architect. And if you shoot a laser into this hole, the station blows up.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! That sounds like a pretty big design flaw, then.
Admiral Motti: No, no, the hole's only two meters across.
Mayor Adam West (Grand Moff Tarkin): Well, that's no bigger than a womp rat.
Admiral Motti: Exactly. And even to get within range of it, you have to skim along this whole trench. It's not a big deal.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Can't we board it up or, you know, put some plywood over it or something?
Admiral Motti: Well, that would look terrible. I mean, we gotta think about resale.
Stewie (Darth Vader): Resale? What are you talking about? This property is right above Sunset. The value is only going to go up.
Admiral Motti: Lord Vader, your inside references to the Los Angeles real estate market haven't given you the clairvoyance to turn a profit on that condo in Glendale. Nor has it...
Stewie (Darth Vader): [Vader begins to choke him] I find your lack of faith disturbing. That property is in a prime location! Twenty minutes to the beach, twenty minutes to downtown!
Admiral Motti: [choking] There's nothing to do downtown!
Mayor Adam West (Grand Moff Tarkin): Enough of this! Vader, release him!
Stewie (Darth Vader): As you wish.

Stewie (Darth Vader): All right, so were' going to plug up that hole?
Imperial Officer: Yeah, we can get it done tomorrow if price is no object.
It isn't about the price of the printed gun, it is about exclusivity. This gun is a limited edition, and will be from the set of the first 100 metal guns ever made by using a printer. That is bound to give the gun some value that exceeds the sum of its parts.
This is a known drawback of ABS -- longer stopping distances in snowy conditions.
In any conditions really. But once the wheels lock up, you have no steering control that you might need in a lot of situations. It is a trade off.
All the driver's aids will actually slow down the car, not allow them to go faster, but they do allow less skilled drivers to push the limit. When driving properly for the conditions these aids, including ABS, will never be even seen operating. I only get my traction control to come on if I intentionally try to spin my tires.

The police are not permitted
False. What we are finding is that a badge and gun are all the permit needed.
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!

Sounds like what OwnCloud does, but I don't know all the details of how it works.

Exactly.
Its not like there is any rush.
If fact this is old news. According to Wikipedia "The ground deformations became apparent in 2003, and the redevelopment started in 2007."
deliberately use their loud RC aircraft to harass people and spook wildlife
Spooking wildlife with an aircraft is already illegal according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

So does Solid Concept have good worker benefits?
Clearly
If we mine a shitload of material out of the moon, won't that affect it's gravitational effect on the planet?
Any more than the current effect of the moon moving away from the earth?
So before I publish a song, what should I do to know what I may have accidentally ripped off?
I don't know. Maybe ask Vanilla Ice? - oh 'accidentally' - I don't have an answer.
Is that produced by Apple Computer or Apple Corps?
Neither, it's produced by Apple Cores.
So... multicore. Who has a patent on that?
Or ask Neil Young about being sued because his new material sounds too different that his previous material. Face it, you're just going to get sued.
Steam's offline mode is lame. You have to have an internet connection to go "offline", which is ridiculous
Not true. When you launch steam with no internet connection, it'll ask you if you want to use offline mode.
Here it is.
I believe in karma, which is why, when I do something bad to people, I assume they deserve it.

Sounds like you've taken a little too much LDS.
It's LSD. Double dumbass on you!
No they don't. Being a Canadian, and having a had a prescription I can state that only the drug name and person it in prescribed to is on the package.
Yeah. That's all I get from my doctor as well.
A few years ago, I saw some stupid bitch reading while driving. She was actually tailgating the vehicle in front.
That's all right, bus drivers do it in Toronto as does everyone's favorite mayor
Of all the things they could have compared it to, they chose terrorism?
A post-antibiotic future is a lot more serious than freakin' terrorism!
Yes! Think of the children!
...to invade Canada was aborted....

Aborted.... right! The drone never even saw the stealth snowmobile.
