The police in China are like rent-a-cops. To my knowledge, none of them carry a gun. The use of firearms is left to the PLA or a group that falls under its control. What you say about serious crime (or lack thereof) is true. The homicide ratio is very low compared to the population as a whole, although petty theft is real high. I can walk the streets of Shanghai at night and feel safe as though I was in my own backyard. You couldn't pay me to walk in Chicago in broad daylight however!
One thing that's troublesome about China's government is vast egregious amount of corruption that goes on. It's not what you know, it's who you know. Because there's no democracy, there's no accountability. Sure, the CCP will execute their own members to set an example for the rest, but not until shit really hits the fan. Bo Xilai for example. They also spend money very poorly. Chinese ghost cities for example. But that's overshadowed because of the vast amounts of foreign investments going on post economic reforms lead by Deng Xiaoping. It's all relative to the Chinese. But this kind of performance in the US would cause a revolution if our government did the same. Everyone has their own standards I suppose.
Android is the new "PC" of the mobile world. Apple is still Apple. The biggest reason that I left the Android platform is because of the non-unified incoherent message I was getting out if it. Each phone is different in specs, screen size, and application experience. But most importantly, e-mail support seems to be a hit or miss depending on the phone you get. WHich BTW may break a year later after a new Android OS gets rolled out for said device.
As for Apple. Just works. It's a walled garden, but life is too short to be jacking around with a bunch of useless apps that may or may not work properly on a platform with hundreds (if not thousands) of device permutations. Google needs to solve this issue by solidifying physical hardware standards. Until they do, I won't be going back to Android.
Yup. And with the SMB segment shrinking, so does the middle class. What's left is now the lower-middle class to the poor with the rich getting richer. Divide and conquer has proven to be a very effective strategy the world over.
...life forms that are non-organic. But after a few thousands of years processing data in their core CPUs, they decide they need to propagate across the Universe. The end solution is to create self-replicating nanites. The re-indroduction of the "cell" programed in DNA was the ultimate solution. What's old is now new again.
Why would you be running multiple SBS boxes? You do realize that each SBS server is its own Forrest/Domain, right? You can't just join these boxes to the same domain without breaking some serious functionality. That's because each SBS box *must* hold all the FSMO roles. About the only time you can temporarily break an SBS box is when performing a migration to a new SBS box. You can join a standard server as a secondary DC, but again, you can not have two or more SBS servers in the same Forest!
I'm guessing one of two things here. 1. You performed an epic hack. 2. You really don't know what the hell your doing.
Exactly. He probably has a spreadsheet of small potatoes to harvest from. By the time he wraps around to the beginning, he will hit them up again for another $400.
Of course they are. This is a natural reaction to be expected out of Statists. GW is the bullwhip by which to get legislation passed to push the agenda of social engineering. Oh, and followed by a "It's for the children" closure.
This is, and has always been, about power and control of a few elites over the main population. Don't forget that. Don't you ever fucking forget that!!!
There are bad cops, there are asshole cops, and then there are cops who (for the most part) but their asses on the line by confronting people either high, mental, angry, or a bonafide cop killer looking to ascend the ranks in his/her own gang. You want to call the police force the worlds largest "gang". Fine, but I'll take their side over the shit and scum found in the darkest corners of American streets.
I'm just saying that there are billions of people who don't -yet- own a smartphone. Most of these people are living in emerging markets. Specifically the BRIC nations. You and I don't belong in that group. Yet, it's a vast untapped market that could soon explode in numbers to the smart phone market.
Microsoft lost many mobile phone battles, but they could still win the war however little that chance may seem from our (Slashdot's) vantage point.
If ZTE cranks out W8 phones in China, they could dominate that market in which the momentum could spill over to the North and South American market too.
Call me paranoid, but when I read that, the first thing to go through my mind was some Chinese laborer being ordered to electronically bug the restroom. Something along the lines of placing something in the plenum above the ceiling tiles.
When you want to make a private phone call, you usually do it outside where it's very noisy, or in a small restroom.
Fuck eBay. It I've learned anything, it's not worth selling anything under $100. Time = Money. When you factor in shipping, and both eBay and Paypal skimming off the top, you're left with little to no profit margin. If anything, it will cost you more money than if you just simply dropped them in the trash bin.
If you're serious about getting rid of 500 DIMMS, just sell them at your local flee market, or donate to the Goodwill and make it a tax write-off.
You bump off one man bend, shape, and mould foreign politics to your liking. Those that are alive will eventually catch on to the MO of the ideology and catch on to toe said ideological momentum. That ideology can be in the form of God fearing Conservatism (religious), Communism, Socialism, or any other 'ism' you can think of.
Communism = equality at the lowest common denominator. The ideology disincentivizes progress and individual exceptionalism. At best, society stagnates. At worst, it falls apart due to corruption.
The problem is man. Has been. Always will be. You can take man away from nature, but you can't take nature away from man. We are our own worst enemy.

For a moment, I read that as..

TX - Houston: Voted between morning and lunch time. I was the only one placing my vote. BTW, I do not like the jog wheel interface.
Better. I can throw knives ;)

Certified SBS guy here.

Generally speaking there is no actual hit involved, it's just a scam. That this guy backed up his threat actually makes him unusual.
Why do you say that? You can't un-kill a person after you fatally wound them. However, you can start and stop a DDoS attack at your leisure.
Oh but your wrong! If you're the RIAA or MPAA, courts will be licking their chops just to fuck over that little old lady one last time!

That's some serious content filtering they got going on. Complete with chastising AI.

It is, in fact.

Never underestimate the power of *cheap*!

Atheism is the affirmative position that there is no God/s. Agnosticism is based on the idea that there may or may not be a God.
One stands on one side of the fence. The other is sitting on it. There is a difference.
Correct. ECC memory can be used with some modern AMD systems. The DIMMs just can't be registered.

Bullshit! They will all agree on national content filtering and make it treating binding for the rest of us.
