Look at it this way: So some thug walks up to you and blows your kneecap off, and then threatens to blow your head off next if you don't hand over some money. What are you doing to do? Not saying it's right, but should an entire business fall on the sword out of principle? They could be left bankrupt from the damage.
Agreed. However, it was the Europeans that put Obama high on this pedestal of "can do no wrong", new age of enlightenment and exuberance all around. Well, fuck em for their support of this piece of shit! This is what you get when you stand by a radical leftist!!!
Not good! So basically, gene NDM-1 jumps from bacteria carrying the gene to living bacteria that doesn't. I don't know exactly how this happens, but apparently this is a natural form of gene therapy. I suspect this finding in the Chinese waste water plant is the tip of the iceberg. They seem to be treating waste at the most basic level by using lots of chlorine prior to discharging the treated waste. Nothing abnormal about that. I'm willing to bet that waste water treatment plants in every nation have this exact same issue! Hardy little buggers.
How expensive are those and what is the lifespan? If you amortize the cost over the life span of a single whole house surge protector vs. constant bulb replacement of the old variety, which his cheaper? Again, items to factor in are cost, lifespan, and efficiency. If you're having to replace the whole house surge protector after X amount of years, it may not be worth it.
This! While yes, the parent is correct, I'm fairly certain China will leave this historical landmark alone for diplomatic reasons if anything. Otherwise, it's game on! King of the moon. He who lands last would have been given precedent to take down and stomp on anything else left behind by others.
Correct. The basic binaries will work just fine. But most people that wipe and reload a machine will get whatever the latest driver suite is available.
I've seen.NET framework get hosed on Windows before. While it can be repaired by ripping it out and reload it, it's often such a major PITA it's easier to backup user data and wipe/reload the hard drive. Regardless, I don't think any subset of a driver package should be written in.NET or an language that requires a co-dependency with a framework separate from the underlaying OS it runs on.
Read up on Luntz's Dunces back in fall 2012 and pair that up with the GALLUP numbers at the time. Almost split in difference, most people had already made up their mind. However a massive double-digit of independent voters were rocking back and forth right up to election. A wild card.
Let's focus on that last group for a moment. What Luntz showed on TV was that the independent voter was making decisions based on feelings, not facts. Their options swayed back and forth like seaweed in shallow ocean waters. Back and forth, back and forth. For this very large representative group, it was driven purely on emotion.
So basically the decision was largely on tribalism and emotion. Competency was way at the bottom of the list for most Americans.
You're reading way too much into it. Look, it's real simple this time. Obama won on "like-ability", not capability.
Read up on the JFK / Nixon debate of 1960. Those that heard it on the radio thought Nixon was the better candidate on ideas alone. Yet those that watched it on TV hands down thought JFK won. JFK looked handsome and sat with a calm confident posture. Nixon was recovering from previous hospitalization. Proof that image is everything in an election!
Youtube is now ran by a bunch of pussies at Google. Anyways, the video was shocking (pun intended) and horrifying. It wasn't gruesome however. Aside from the sad loss of his life, the poor guy died instantly. And if we should all have a say-so in how we exit from reality come the time, that's probably not a bad way to go.
Bitcoin is speculative. By design, it's not backed by any sovereign nation and its government. It's truly a double-edge sword. It also makes for great legalized gambling. Anyone that's in the Bitcoin scene knows it. It's always been a game of skill and luck as to who can cash out in real Dollars/Yuan/Euros/ before the majority does. You know, to the kind that is sovereign currency! Hah!
You forgetting what console gaming is all about. It's the venue. On a couch comfortable, in front of a TV, and with friends and family. Even by yourself, most console gamers are pretty casual about the whole experience. If anything, Oculus will be a huge hit for PC gamers. Currently however, the technology looks too anti-social with other people around.
It's not for the current generation of people alive. It's so his name can't be remembered in future generations. The current will never speak of him again. Him and his legacy is to be erased from existence. It's about political power and the projection of it to others!
Say what you will of the GOP. But I find it especially revealing how it's the right wings fault for not convincing/educating the unwashed masses to not vote for Obama. And you would be correct. We did failed to stop ignorance.

Better. This guy in India was standing on top of the roof of a train powered by electricity. He stood up and grabbed the hot line thus grounding him and the train he stood on. Instantly he bursts into flames and is left smoking where he lay. It was instant. And that's the power of electricity. Don't fuck with it!!!
BTW, you couldn't pay me to be a lineman. An occupation like that scares the crap out of me. Either you have a set of balls, or are completely oblivious to the value of life. Or both I suppose.
Regarding submarines; all I know is that living quarters and internal mobility is extremely limited. But my knowledge dates back to what I knew from the 80s and 90s. Perhaps technology and miniaturization allowed them to reclaim that space. I honestly don't know.
Serious question: If the NSA is tapping the lines via submarine, just how in the hell are they able to capture and storage that much data? There's no way they can process an entire fiber feed from the subs on-board computers, and the drives would fill up in a heartbeat assuming the disks aren't I/O bound.

I thought PCI Compliance was supposed to take care of that per defining the standards in network security for POS (Point of Sales) systems?

Or just fire 10 times as many mortars! Sometimes more is better.
What part of -Attempt no landing there- do people not understand? Obviously, someone didn't get the memo.

Backed by private investors and tycoons, I fully expect that America's next moonshot will be lead and funded by SpaceX. Not NASA.

Just my two cents.

I left ATI (now acquired by AMD) 9 years ago. And just the other day, I find their drivers are still written in .NET.
It's not the hardware, it's the driver base that I detest!

Or just nuke the ice caps on Mars. Thicken it up a bit and let it warm up on its own thereafter.
Ya, I'm sure the world wouldn't want us launching warheads in space. They might not trust that they'll all reach Mars.

Actually, Puerto Rico would land itself as the 51st state if anything. Seriously.
Naw. I fully expected them to show up at the nearest fireworks stand. Loads of fun that's sure to blow you away.
