Rush Limbaugh said it pretty well. Once more than 50% of the public start to NOT pay taxes, forget tax reform. It will NEVER happen at that point. If your serious about preventing problems in this country that socialism has on France, now is the time to push for tax reform.
Just one problem. We're not trees. Socialism/communism fail goes against human nature on the whole. As such, end results are corruption and tyranny due to the vacuum of power these two systems provide in a political environment.
Capitalism, while not perfect, does harness human nature (greed, power...etc) for the benefit of all society. It's proven to work and continues to this day.
Emissions are never going down. By products of human activity is proportional to a modern quality of life that all human around the world strive for. America and the rest of Europe have achieved this. China, India, and Africa want this too. They are next in line, and will reap the fruits of their labor to the modern age of energy consumption.
Don't fight global warming, it's a losing battle. However, human can and will do what we do best...and that's adapt.
There is no such thing as "chaos". The idea of chaos is an illusion. "Chaos" as we see it is nothing more than order beyond comprehension. In fact, one might say that if you could process every atom, every quark, every sub-atomic particle down the quantum level...your destiny has already been written out for you in the cosmos.
Sad to think that freewill is nothing but an illusion to. Eh?
With a dual core CPU, you basically get that specialized card...for free. Right now, games are only coded (and optimized) for single core CPUs. As dual and quad core CPUs become the norm, that leaves full CPU resources available to specialized tasks. The upgrade path is far easier too. Just swap the CPU for a faster one. No drivers needed. Just code to the CPU (x86 instructions), and let it pick core freely available with the most resources.
While we are talking about specialized hardware, you might already have some in your PC. Right now, my Network adapter (Broadcom chipset) does TCP/IP transmit/receive checksum process which is offloaded from the CPU. The SB Audigy 2 card add a cool 10 to 15 frames per second more compared to standard on-board audio (such a Realtek chipset) due to it's offloading abilities. Last but not least, is the video card. There other examples such as hardware vs. software modems, and SATA RAID controllers too.
Since PCIe became a standard, bidirectional communication between CPUs and GPUs has been as easy as unidirectional communication.
Of new PCs. Yes. But there is still a huge market for existing user who still have AGP. I would switch myself, but that would mean swapping out my CPU along with a new motherboard. I wouldn't exactly call my 2.8 GHz CPU (socket 478) slow...yet. But unlike the days were PCI was fading out as AGP was fading in as the majority, AGP today was dropped like a bad habit the instant PCIe hit the scene. It was though both nVidia and ATi did this in unison for force the upgrade path. I swear it; I really think there was a conference call between these two companies to discuss this tactic. They would be stupid NOT to have done so.
Thanks a lot guys, you just fucked over a perfectly good AGP market...one that still exists today even.
Unless the Parody is obvious to the majority of the populous, I would say if false on the other side to "Slander"
That's where the AU Gov when wrong. They should have branded it as slander and NOT phishing. That was the first and fatal misjudgement as to why this is being brought up in question on Slashdot.
Let not forget the whole "imminent domain" issue. If the government needs your plot of land to place a cell tower, you're fucked. And don't even THINK about adding that extension to your house that might otherwise block wireless access to part of your neighbor's home.
The government is the devil! If you want to dance with him, you will get burned. If you want him to grant you wishes, it will cost you your soul (your rights).
Smoking a joint will suppress nausea. If you have prostate cancer, than a little THC is the least of your worries. Worst case, you temporarily become infertile.
Seems like Dynamat is more for serious vibration dampening vs. ambient dampening.
That's exactly what it's for! In order to reduce or eliminate the white noise created from fans, you will need to use foam. Dynamat won't do anything for a PC other than reduce vibrational noise caused by hard drives and the like.
If you want a game which will allow you to bot, supposedly only attended, then go play Asheron's Call. Turbine themselves approved of combat automation to the horror of the entire industry.
Of course they did. The game sucks anyway. So WTF do they care if your botting as long as your a paying subscriber. And if your not botting, you should (I don't agree with it). They WANT a virtual arms race of automation.
Milk milk milk them utters dry. They will rape that cow for all it's worth before sending it to the slaughter house.
your example, which depicts chemistry affecting mental ability, does not support your claim, which tries to relate genetics to mental ability. the genome is more like the.ini file of a computer program than a petri-dish of chemicals, so do not confuse these two.
You are totally missing the point. It's genetics that DICTATE brain chemistry. DNA sets the foundation for how cells grow and ultimately affect a living organism. Be it depression, schizophrenia, or mental retardation, they all come into being from how the DNA is coded.
In order to understand a problem, you need to trace the issue to its root cause.
No, Mohammed didn't create the religion, he's just the last prophet.
I'm not an expert in Islam by any means. However, from whom I've talked to and read on Wikipedia, Islam was not introduced until he reached his 40s. Mohammed claimed to be an instrument of God to spread the message and teachings of Islam through the Qur'an (he wrote the first copy). Before this time however, Arabs were involved in polytheistic religions,
Sorry, but this isn't true. Genetics does play a major role in mental abilities. Take depression for example. It's a true medical condition that involves a serotonin imbalance. Depression DOES affect ones mental abilities. Thankfully however, the right medication can put your mental status and abilities in the "normal" range if treated. This is just only one example, and there are many more. Point is, everyone has slight differences in brain chemistry that is just enough to affect neural activity.
So yes, some people are better off than others when it comes to processing and storing information. It's a fact of life.
That's correct. In fact here in Austin, if your house was pre-wired during its constructions...Time Warner will replace it at no cost if needed. However, if you installed the cable yourself, as I know TWC will NOT replace it free of charge (I could be wrong about that). So in away, for prewired houses TWC takes ownership. On the other hand, TWC can't just waltz right in your home without your permission. So the idea of your local cable co owning the coax in your home is actually a *good thing*.
Politically, I agree with you. All men (and women) should be treated fairly and with dignity.
Biologically, I disagree. While everyone is (if not mostly) capable of performing the same functions, some people are better adapted at specific tasks than others. While it doesn't prevent you from being a musician or a football player, clearly you will have to work harder than others and vise versa.
Evolution (Mother Nature) is a bitch. It doesn't care friend from foe. But it is what it is, and you shouldn't deny this fact.
...have committed a schoolboy logical error in assuming that that is universally true
No he hasn't. Unions are a form of Socialism at the micro scale. For a macro version, look to Italy, France, and Spain where they unemployment rate is much higher than say the US and UK.
But don't take my word for it. Have fun with these data sets from LOBORSTA http://laborsta.ilo.org/

The registry hive is ALWAYS writing the drive. In fact, it's a streaming write of data. Kiss the MTBF of these flash drives goodbye!
Just to be fair, the IRS will soon be offering a tax break to those that purchase KY Jelly in bulk. Lube it up!!!

Don't worry. After Castro dies of old age, Hugo Chevez will take his place. No, seriously! Watch him try it, and we will kick Hugo right in the ass.
Ohhh Noooooos, that might mean the use of EVIL USA empire controlled military *sarcasm*

Gamer: Ok crew, let's explore the galaxy!
(moments later...)
Gamer: Damn, our warpdrive failed and we have no impulse. Will someone send a petition to the GM?
*FLASH*
Gamer: OMG, it's Q.
GM: No, it's just the GM. Because I have God-like powers, I take the form of Q.
Gamer: Well, can you restore WD and IMP for us?
GM: *snaps fingers* It's done.
Gamer: Dude, your so 1337! Ok, last request. Sends our crew someplace awsome that will give us uber EXP real quick.
GM: *snap fingers and vanishes*
Gamer: What the hell is that greenish-black cube thingy. This will be easy I bet. Lets attack it...
