I drove to eight hardware stores to find the 60W halogens I have. If I find a reliable online distributor for quality halogen lightbulbs (in Canada), I might go that route next time.
The room is 2675 cubic feet (sonic measuring tapes are wonderful) and illuminated by the single upward facing lamp with a sloped ceiling.
Either you're proposing I install new wiring on every wall in the room (and leave the middle of the room dark) or totally destroy my floor space by adding at least a half dozen lamps to save energy.
I'm using all halogen here where possible. My two outdoor lights are 60W halogen, and my living room is a 300W halogen. I put in a set of CFLs in my bathroom but it feels dim and the mood's wrong now. The problem is that the fixture takes three bulbs and three halogens will burn my eyes out...
I had a similar experience. I run a 300W halogen J type bulb in my livingroom. Just the one illuminates the whole room for years on a bulb. I tried several different ways to achieve the same level of lighting, and it just didn't work.
I'm sitting 10' from a 103" diagonal 1080p screen. My point was that at 6-8' it could certainly use more pixels, but at 10' it looks very good. Not perfect, but very good. I had simply failed to give the screen's dimensions at the time, which of course made my point harder to do the math on.
I do sit about 8' away when playing driving games though, with the steering wheel and my FOV nearly filled, its quite fun.
China reminds me a lot of a very large feudal state again... its like a slow regression to a system where people are allowed to believe they have freedom so long as they recognize their overlords.
There's a reason I refuse to travel to the republic of America anytime soon. I've got my own government issues up here in Canada, but the last thing I need is being arrested because my legally downloaded music got noticed when I crossed the border for some cheap recession-priced shopping.
If you think humour is typically a wrapper for truths, you may wish to stop watching those "news" shows like SNL.
The news is supposed to be based on facts and truths, while humour takes pot shots at true, semi-true, perceived, and utterly false issues. A fictitious story about a funny situation doesn't stop being humour because its untrue.
Slashdot gets its worldview in a tizzy whenever religion becomes part of the discussion. Too many all-knowing agnostics who want their rules only to apply to people without a faith.
Note: I think the video is a scumbag thing to do, and I think the DMCA takedown is too.
Someone used your stuff as part of a new work, pretty sure they could claim its derivative enough to be a new work. I'd name a compensation number for them to pay you for use of the video and call it a day.
Borderlands 1 got so old for me for this reason... 'guess I have to level up to make this fight possible'... then 'oops, I gained two levels, now its too easy.'

Please write out the use-case for an auto-updating torrent system in 5 lines or less, because the git version is.
Major releases aren't API compatible. That's been the mantra for everyone who releases software for a very long time.
I suppose Linux should've changed names instead of going to 2.6 from 2.4? Or perhaps to 3.x?
What's wrong with .sh for your Python programs? Or no extension at all?
Interpreters in Unix are specified in the file, not by file nomenclature. All my Python2 software starts with:
#!/usr/bin/env python2
If I want to know what a program is, I of course use: /usr/local/bin/program

program: a python2 script text executable
I don't understand, I suspect you have a LISP.
You mean like awk and bison I presume?
Unix having arbitrarily odd names for programs and commands is not new.
Except you can -- Microsoft Word does have revision control, and its quite handy. Its not quite git or svn, but its there and groups know to use it.

I suspect this is a failed attempt at being funny, but just in case its not, your interpretation of urandom vs random is way off.

Seems that 10" tablets with resolutions over HD are doing just fine ... seems there's a market for those resolutions too.

Go read the very lengthy document stored here: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/ and form your own opinions if you wish.
IANAL, my opinion is worthless.

Old out-of-touch white men.
Wait, hold up, you think the police always charge people with the crime they actually committed?
Jeez, you need to meet more police officers.
And I quote one I know, "we can always find something to arrest the guy on if we really need to."

For the lazy, that would be http://www.harunyahya.com/ ...
For a guy who supposedly thwarted a cocaine conspiracy (cf. http://www.harunyahya.com/bilgi/yazarHakkinda?pageNo=2 ) ... the DMCA must seem like nothing.

On my shooter scale, I'd put MAG at a solid 9, COD at a 6 and Borderlands at a 4 if you can ignore the completely impossible physics.
No, you saw me arrive before you received my message. I still arrived *after* leaving.
