And super slaves. The kind that are genetically engineered to depend on an artificial enzyme to survive. Should a slave flee, this neo-sapean would shortly die without daily or weekly injections. ST DS9 featured a race in which the founders did exactly that.
As someone I know once said, never project your cultural views on another nation. Meaning, they will never view or treat you the same way in which you do. Pakistan had better be careful whom they piss off. India is mainly Hindu. They wouldn't have the compunction to force an entire nation to take another spin at the wheel of life. Of all the nations on Earth, a conflict between those two could easily go Nuclear in a hurry.
You just know that nations such as China, Russia, India, Iran...etc so want to get their hands on this technology! Now would be a perfect time to setup honeypots to find and track suspected moles within the defense industry. Round up the H1B fuckers caught and kick them out of the country if on US soil.
Call me the prophet if you will (hopefully a bad one at that). Here's how I think it's going down. The president of the United States and all of congress is basically going to tell Silicon Valley to go fuck off. Their technology robs government of power and exposes their dirty laundry to the public consistently. That's a big "no no". Second, Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment industry has always been involved in US politics far longer than I've been alive. They also export their media to be consumed, not to be interactive thus providing entertaining feedback to other citizens. To allow for that robs them of a time-slice in peoples lives that could otherwise be revenue generating. You know as well as I that the gaming industry and hollywood are in direct competition with each other. Expect gaming to be heavily regulated under the guise of "addition"
In there's the bottom line. To have the RIAA and MPAA cartels wither on the vine would be a national security issue. That's how it will be spun. Being a huge export of America and all and our massive debt that needs to be paired off. So, they will subsidize the industry in one of three ways. 1: Tax breaks, 2: direct subsidies, 3: put the burden of cost on all other industries to enforce the media industry (laundered tax on citizens).
Depends if you're the only one on-call 24/7. For example, I work with three others whom also provide server, network, and desktop support. We rotate the on-call duty each week. So having this duty for one week out of the month isn't too bad. Just remember, when doing this kind of IT work, it's almost a requirement. Technology failure waits for no man.
This thing penetrates deeper, harder, faster, and will rock your world! It also looks like a giant Big Johnson. And so, that's what it shall be called. I don't think this is a BJ anyone wants.
Crutchfield seems to have ok selection of external DACs. But sure. If you don't mind having a separate breakout box and the extra cost, a dedicated DAC is the way to go.
SNR level and isolation. That's what you truly want in a sound card these days. While the DAC (CODEC) chips found on any on-board solutions may be top notch, the implementation is often absolute shit with regards to the quality of components used (capacitors, resisters...ect) with them.
Meetings are important so long as they help set the agenda and ensure everyone attending is on the same page with regards to workflow and trending issues seen out in the field (campus). Simply put, it's about collaboration in areas that are meaningful and constructive.
Now, 60k for a one-time meeting in meat-space is a waste of money IMHO. In a scenario where you have managers in multiple locations, it would server better to have many reoccurring scheduled teleconferences vs. one rare expensive meeting.
When you do shrooms, sometimes you feel larger than life. Herbs (flowers), PCP (star dust), Mario is doing some hardcore shit there! No wonder the goombahs and King Koopa are after his ass. They want payback. Drugs are expensive! If they can't get him, they'll at least hold peach for ransom. He's not the plumber you think he is. Neither is his brother.
Seymour Cray wasn't just a engineer, he was also a marketing showman. He designed the supercomputer to have form as well as function for the express purpose of capturing market share among those who held the corporate purse strings. Even the Fluorinert cooling feature was turned into a work of art with that whole waterfall reservoir thing.
Rain-X is awesome stuff. I too use it on my windshield. I've also used it on my glossy LCD computer/laptop screens. It makes future cleanup easy with some mild soap and water. Water stains don't tend to calcify on treated glass. They just break off with ease. Also, Rain-X on shiny plastics of other home electronics (TVs, AV Receivers, speakers, etc) make dust cleanup a snap. Don't use on matte screens however.
True. But at least America is more fortunate than all over nations combined. You do realize how many guns Americans own right? Our citizens are the 2nd class army in standby. Actually, I would be more worries about America falling into another civil war fighting for resources. Essentially a breakdown into warlordism. No nation on Earth can divide and conquer that shit. But they can attempt to walk the gauntlet that is the meat grinder if they wish.
Correct, and they waited to say anything until he ran for president. Remember folks. It's the seriousness of the charge, not the nature of the evidence that should carry the weight. Tom, you're fucking pathetic!!!
It's a mentality of not wanting to be left behind. So when a group of ignorant people see one person attempting to better themselves, they will say anything to drag that person back down with them. As you can see, it's a vicious circle that will last many generation. The problem isn't racism, it's a corrupt culture. I personally know a few blacks from the UK and Kenya that are scared shit-less to associated with African Americans. Those other groups of people tend to be extremely well educated. I can understand the feeling.
I'm a bit concerned about all of this advancement to support extended population growth. My gut feeling is that we are just setting up ourselves for a big fall the more we detach ourselves from nature. Like a house of cards. It can only go so high before the entire system collapses. It's just a matter of when. For example, a high-altitude nuclear warhead my never cause bodily harm. But the EMP it releases is enough to shutdown entire nations with all microchips fried. That means no transportation and running water. Within weeks, people start dieing and bodies decomposing where they last crawled for survival. Truly scary stuff.
I should know because I was so hyped up about this game that I purchased the Collectors Edition. It came with a cool com badge pin and all. For at least a month or two after initial release, you could never walk the deck of your own ship. You could upgrade the interior look when customizing the design of the ship. But again, to actually walk around wasn't an option when I was playing. This feature was rumored to have been any moment now. From what you've said, I can only guess it got enabled soon after I canceled my subscription. I only played for about 1 to 2 months. Not many days, I know, but I did pour tons of gameplay time into it.
As for the video card issue, it was pushing the GPU hard thus causing the fan to rev up. I can't remember, but I think I was still using an 8800GT or my current GTX 275. For some people on the ST Online forum, it will killing their video card. Not the games fault of course, they just didn't have proper ventilation for their custom gaming rigs. Either way, some video cards got pushed hard. If I recall, the primary graphic feature to have caused this was the shadows detail. Turning it off made a big improvement.
I used to play Star Trek Online. It had good potential, but felt rushed to market. The graphics were good, but the engine was inefficient in that it overly taxed the video card too much. Flying your starship around in space was fun. The starship battles felt like something out of Star Control. I absolutely loved it even if the starships never matched to true scale. It was easy to play with the mouse and keyboard, but yet required some crafty timing to take on more than one enemy at a time. At the time, I wish I could have walked the deck of my own starship in first person. I would have been better had there been co-op play where you could walk aboard someone else's ship to help them out with weaponry or engineering tasks in first person. Just a wish though.
I stopped playing it though because the away team missions absolutely sucked. I bitched and moaned. It was about as useful as talking to a brick wall however. Though somewhat therapeutic at best. Anyways, great concept. Shitty implementation in areas of gameplay that matter.
I wouldn't say it's a young man's game exclusively. But sure, for the most part it's true. I remember doing this sort of thing with PC gaming. I was always upgrading my CPU, RAM (faster timing..etc), Motherboards, Video cards. Oh God, especially the Video cards. Oh, and benching marking the hell out of them for bragging rights. Now, not so much. I may upgrade my video card once every two years if I'm lucky, and I don't want to upgrade my PC at all if I can help it.
So why the change in heart from my early 20s to mid 30s now? Because today, i'm more content in life with what I have. I no longer have the burning desire for the latest bleeding edge technology that's at its very core defined optimism and the game of chasing progress. Why bother? It's a race you'll never win and will be obsolete soon there after anyways. Meh...*shrug*
Now if a new product has something useful to offer in a big way. Sure, I'll take a look.

Sad but true. A bunch of savages people are.
If you're in favor of a Gattaca future, you're a straight up fascist. Just thought I point that out FYI.

A bit slow. But yes, tightly bound paper pressed up against a belt sander should do the job well.

Burnt bacon is bad. Mmm k?
