Obviously the war in Afghanistan is the primary driving force behind these quad legged robotics. Think of them as land-drones with mounted Metal Storm rounds and night vision (or something). Their roles can act as mules caring munitions, or playing the Hunter Killer. They're the perfect vehicle for breaking the stalemate in an exchange of fire suppression. No need to worry about splash damage from an aerial attack.
From what I understand, it's not the reads that suffer but the writes over time. Fortunately, the TRIM command (with supporting OS) will do a background scrub to zero out the cells in preparation for the next set of user writes to occur.
Now that that's out, I'm waiting for a price drop on the Intel X25-M 120GB version. It's currently listed as $229.99 on NewEgg.com. I'm going to guess that the real sale will happen once the new Mac OS gets released. At least, that's what I plan on doing.
It could have been an official request. Sure. It could have also be that there's no electricity feeding that area. Either it was intentional to demoralize the citizens, or damaged from warfare. Perhaps it's just the data center that's running off backup power, but for how long?
We, as a society, should be careful about vilifying the rich through higher taxation. This leads to a transfer of wealth to more friendly nations (more so than now). There is (will be) a breaking point. It's already an issue in the US, but once we start vilifying them as a culture, that's when people will start physically uprooting their own lives and move to other nations too. Not just their wealth. Historically, this leads to the hollowing out of a nation and thus oppression, populism, and dictatorships start taking over. The likes of tyranny never thought possible could occur inside our own borders.
Wealth by itself isn't the problem. It only becomes a problem when the wealthy are allowed to corrupt the system. It's at that point we start to see class-warfare solidify and everything else along with it falls into place ~for the worst.
You mean the same 1% of media elites and politicians that demand the rest of us do with less while at the same time living their hypocritical lifestyle? I agree.
The real crime was committed by those who (a) logged all information in one place (placing all their eggs in one basket), and (b) let sensitive documentation be accessible by single individuals, without even logging the access.
Depends. If where talking about Wikileaks, sure. But if your talking about the Federal Gov where that was NOT the intent, well... the latter is like blaming the home owner (not the thief) for not locking his doors. Or, blaming a victim of rape for being too seductive and sexy.
Again, it's all about the intent and whom the instigator is.
Good question. I'm not a constitutional scholar, but doesn't creating an act-of-war (911 WTC, bombing of USS Cole...etc) constitute that person, group, and associations thereof as an enemy of the state? Or, is an enemy only defined by an official declaration of war by congress?
Not sure what your point was, but you DO realize that he was on vacation (Christmas 2009) in Hawaii at the time he experienced chest pains. This was an EMERGENCY! Nothing pro-active or scheduled about his decision.
Not really. Extroverted people love interacting with external stimuli in which they can be judged by other minds. These people tend to have a much higher sense of self-esteem and can be quite vain when taken to the extreme. Introverted people are the exact opposite. So while a hive-mind would appeal to the extroverted; solitude, meditation, and deep introspective thinking are activities most enjoyed by the introverted.
I bought a boxed copy of Snow Leopard (10.6) when it was first released. Since then, I've been keeping it updated with the latest service packs and patches as they became available. It's currently now at 10.6.6. Should a new SP get released, I'm sure that will change over to 10.6.7 and thus adding new features. I know that 10.6.6 added the market place for the first time.
Anyways, I'm not sure what you're getting at. 10.6.6 is just an updated version of 10.6.
Yes, I know. I have 10.6.6 installed on my MacBook. They haven't included TRIM with their last service pack and I seriously doubt they ever will. 10.7 may also not include support for TRIM at launch. At least there hasn't been any mention of it.
The purpose of his death was to affect the living with fear and control. While that poor fellow is dead, I assure you that he felt nothing. Quick and painless. Still sucks for his family and his denial at life.
It "runs" where double strokes occur having to slow down, stop, and stroke the other direction. This causes an extra buildup of wet paint causing it to run in some places. But you're right, I see none on the black Arabic writing to the right. And the way it starts off with a blur... Ya, I'd say it looks fake too.
I'd rather have the OS manage the collection/scrubbing than the SSD actively monitoring the file system. The fact TRIM won't be supported on 10.6 and perhaps 10.7 is appalling. WTF Apple?
Damn, I'm getting old! Remember that scene (or maybe you don't) in Back to the Future where Marty told the Doc that all the best stuff was made in Japan? Well, back in the 80s to mid 90s Sony was where Apple is today. Everyone loved the Walkman and Diskman series of products. Their home stereo setup was a great bang for the buck. And here I am looking back in disbelief. If my future self went back in time to the 80s to inform me how pathetic Sony's has become, I wouldn't have believed it. But it's all true.
Since there is essentially no protection of the foot, some of the more obvious issues include cuts, abrasions, bruises, or puncture wounds from glass, nails, rocks, or thorns. Poisonous plants, animals, or parasites can enter the body through the cuts on an injured bare foot – footwear can be valuable in protecting them. Hookworm larvae (found only in warm, moist climates), can also easily burrow through a bare human foot.
16bit audio is fantastic. Or it was until the recording studios started compressing the audio range because of the "loudness war". Going to 24bit audio won't improve that until the recording studios to stop the range compression.
Go barefoot. It is healthy, clean, fun, cheap, easy, etc
No no no NO! Wrong! The use of the shoe has been used going as far back as 8000 BC and maybe even to 40,000 BC. And there's a reason. Thorns cut and rocks hurt. They also lead to infection and WORMS should you be walking around in shallow freshwater with a cut. Some regions on Earth maybe more safe than others, but it's always risky regardless. Hence why man invented the shoe so long ago.
Now with modern materials, you can still have that free feeling of running barefoot with barefoot running shoes. Just Google them. They're supposed to be the next fad in sportswear.

You've obviously never heard of Logmein which BTW is a very successful product. Microsoft is wise to be throwing their hat into the ring.

It was the love triangles and communications stones that needed to go. SGU was ruined by those two things alone.
So true. Shaking hands doesn't mean you agree with them. It only serves to provide acknowledgment. In politics, that's SOP.

I'm sure it's to process all the different permutations on how to bring about the 12th Imam.

How in the hell did you get modded up? Mods are on crack today.
