There's nothing wrong with saying "Oh, we were going to do this, but when we found out it causes harm we canceled it"
Just a guess, but I imagine it's because they don't want to officially taint the technology to the public. This way, should they find the problem and/or revise the 3D technology to solve the issue, they would not have to back pedal to an already leery would-be consumer. Also, it would set themselves up for a major lawsuit should the revised technology continue to cause harm. Saying "we thought we fixed it" vs "we didn't know" is a lot more damning.
If it's "perfectly legal", than I'm quite disturbed. I mean, screw what the Russians think. I'm more afraid of my own government. I'm sure they feel the same way about us.
I'm all about protecting national security, but not to the level where it becomes more (if at all) authoritarian.
And why should they seize it? Last I heard, ICQ was a private company selling to another private company. Do we *really* want the Feds seizing private property / assets (corporate or otherwise) under the guise of national security? Not only does that set a dangerous precedent, it dilutes the true mention of national security. A power-grab if I ever saw one.
The Feds should only be seizing weapons with premeditation that would constitute a clear and present danger. ICQ is not that.
Almost always it's a memory timing issue. This is especially true for "performance" type memory where the timing tables stored on the SPD chip are not optimal. If you have an ASUS motherboard or some such, they will generally have a plethora of RAM timing and voltages you can adjust to compensate. Unless your a tuner/gamer I would avoid this genre of RAM.
Not trying to slashvertise here, but purchase your memory from Crucial.com. They provide a nice drill-down menu that will display the *exact* module you need for the make/model of PC or motherboard. From servers, desktops, and laptops. I've never had problems with their memory. It's not l337 fast memory, but it's rock solid and dependable.
We use Dell PowerEdge servers with Dell Open Manage software installed. When a single bit error occurs, it will log a warning with regards the module at fault. I've cleared the log and reseated the ECC RAM module only for it to happen again within a few minutes.
So yes, silicon chips (or gates inside) go bad. I can't tell you why or how exactly, just that they do.
But it's the CCP that has control over the PLA. I've been informed that the top ranking college graduates (local Chinese) in China are offered great wealth and political power into the CCP. Every year they need fresh blood to replace the old guard that retires (death, natural or otherwise). The CCP knows that the only way to maintain control is to tie the fate of all China together. It's a political survival mechanism. Together China rises, or together everyone falls.
Side note: Why do you think China is buying so much US Treasury Securities? So they can have America as an ally instead of an adversary. Again, political survival.
SonicWALL is good. Their products are aimed for the small, medium, and large business through. So expect to pay a lot more. But I would recommend them for home use if you can afford it.
Their TZ 100 Wireless-N lists for $360 on CDW. The TZ 100 Wireless-N with 1 Year Total Secure lists for $410. 1 Year warranty is extra I think.
No Readyboost. Just two HDDs mirrored using the Intel storage manager. What I find both interesting (and frustrating) is that all instances of Firefox will freeze (not just tabs) until all Slashdot comments are rendered on a page. Depending on length, it could be anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds.
I haven't customized Slashdot much at all. Perhaps I should from the defaults if it annoys me enough.
Just ask any rich person. In time of prosperity, save. In times of recession, spend. Sadly, right wingers want to spend (on tax cuts) when time is good and then when times are bad they got nothing left to spend.
Sadly, this isn't a political policy issue so much as a cultural one. Though governments around the world are NOT helping in the slightest.
In America at least (perhaps Europe too), most people adjust their lifestyle to match their income. In other words, they live beyond their reasonable means without saving. So when people live paycheck-to-paycheck, they often put themselves at the dependency of the Government. Killer is, when the economy retracts like it is now, it becomes a downward spiral of self destruction. I believe we are seeing this now in in part to a cultural mindset lead on by generations of "living in plenty"
MOD UP!!! AC is correct. I too was a victim of the DGL-4500 firmware fiasco. Apparently, the DNS forward lookup would buffer overflow and lock up the router. D-Link sat on their ass for what seemed like a year. They also screwed me on a DNS-323 storage NAS. Fuckers! I will never buy D-Link shit again!
Software companies are sometimes thought to deliberately drop support for older technologies as a calculated attempt to force users to purchase new products to replace those made obsolete[citation needed]. Most proprietary software will ultimately reach an end-of-life point, at which the manufacturer will cease updates and support. As free software can always be updated and maintained by the end user, the user is not at the sole mercy of a proprietary vendor.
Noticed that there's no mention of disabling a program or set of features on a set date. You can still run MS DOS if you wish for as long as you want. Just don't expect to get any support from Microsoft. You're on your own. That's the difference between planned obsolescence and poison-ware.
You know that bill that would grant the Executive branch the ability to police the internet? You know, the one regarding national security. Ya, that one.
Now you know what it's really about. Protecting the industry that votes Democrat and squelching free speech that criticizes the party in power.
The longer people stay unemployed, the more you and I will be taxed (in some manor) to pay for their unemployment benefits. But I'm sure you don't mind.
I'm not sure about the medical, but when you visit China (Shanghai at least), you must register with the police or a hotel within 24 hours. Every hotel I've been to so far has scanned my passport into their system.
It's been my experience that any fortune 500 company will have a diversified IT department. The staff ranges from network engineers, sysadmins, support, and development.
Improved fuel effeciency is only a small part of it. Ever wonder why the MPG rating has stayed about the same while engine displacement shrinks and HP increases? The biggest drive is pushed by the the NHTSA that forces automotive companies to make cars more safe than the year before it.
Eventually, you end up with a heavier car with very large crumple zones. Naturally, a common design will win out to meet these regulations. It's quite literally, an arms race in packing the most KE to protect yourself in the event of a crash. My advice? Don't drive a Mazda Miata except on the track. I'm sure the later will be forced out of the market because they wont meet safety regulations in the future (not big and heavy enough).
There's a lesson to be learned here. You will not like it, but I'm just the messenger.
Human beings are social animals first and foremost. If you want to grow a company, you throw a shit-ton of cash in the direction of marketing. It really helps to have a decent product, but you *must* market it with everything you've got. That's what Intel and Microsoft did. And that's why marketing will always triumph over good engineering. On a positive note however, that influx in sales revenue will fund your R&D department. But R&D should always play second fiddle to your marketing department. And that's the real lesson to be learned when running a business.
Except this method won't work well in places like Houston, TX. The air is already saturated with moisture making it very hot and humid. Places like AZ however would be perfect.
The premise of your question is flawed. Capitol Punishment and Civilization do NOT go hand in hand.
What defines civilization is how we treat others in a humane manor. Also, the level of freedom and proper civil/legal representation are important too. You shouldn't execute someone for not believing in a religion. OTOH, you don't set free a mass murder on the streets. Execution is just a single method of carrying out justice. Not something to be abused or glorified.
In what way would showing someone get executed be misleading anyone?
When it involves unnecessary gore, pain, and suffering. If your in favor of such techniques to get a point across, you're no better than the person scheduled to be executed. As such, I would personally charge you with crimes against humanity. How's that for irony!
This is a flat-out lie. Even if someone has "renounced his humanity" - which is in itself a rather troubling concept, as it basically makes being human dependent on behaving in ways that meet your approval
Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, many gang members and serial killers have renounced their humanity long LONG ago. I'm pleased that you've found it troubling. You should.
A maximum security prison is perfectly capable of holding an (ex-)human of any level of evil, thus removing the "protect others" argument, leaving only the deterrent and revenge arguments.
Capitol Punishment serves as justice (some call it revenge), and as a deterrent.
And, well, both deterrent and revenge angles would be best served by as gory display as possible.
Says who? The point of Capitol Punishment is to serve out justice and bring closure for the living. We don't need the melodramatic gore for this.
I'm a firm believer that people who think they're civilized because they performed their human sacrifice rites in the altar of justice in a bloodless manner represent a whole new and fascinating level of self-delusion.
I speak of humane execution. You're in favor of turning the event into a gore fest circus. Who's the one that's delusional here?

Correct. It's called Statism.

Quite a shock for everyone.

I noticed the exact same issue that nmb3000 is having regarding Slashdot with Firefox.
I'm running Win7 (64bit) with an Intel Q6600 (quad core), 8GB RAM, and nVidia 275 video card.
Per Wiki regarding software
Noticed that there's no mention of disabling a program or set of features on a set date. You can still run MS DOS if you wish for as long as you want. Just don't expect to get any support from Microsoft. You're on your own. That's the difference between planned obsolescence and poison-ware.
