Yep, and we make sure to feed our inmates more properly than our schoolkids. Our country is kinda backwards on alot of things.
We also pay our politicans more than the people who haven't done anything!
And every public owned property or company is sold out so they can afford to lower the taxes for the people who earn the most while they also want to make it worse for people with no job so they go find one themself even though they themself got an awesome parachute with lots of income from not doing shit after they have left their political carrier because obviously it's freaking hard getting a job when people know you from the political scene.
It's about rehabilitation. Seems to be more effective than punishment (see USA PMITA prison system).
It's actually not that efficient.
And I know outside of Oslo they have an island where you can "go to jail" and just live as normal with a house and stuff. They possibly had no guards or fences. If you behave there then fine. If you can act as a regular citizen they are happy. I guess if you escape or get caught again you may not go there a second time. Your choice.
Anyway I think the US putting lots of people on drugs in jail is just fucked up. I don't do drugs but that is anything is breaking them AWAY from society and into even more criminals.
Much better to use it for science and preferably only when you have no other option (well, depending on what the alternative is =P), seem so bad to just let it fly away into the air, litteraly.
In this case I guess the amount used is different whatever it's 15m diameter on the ground or at their final destination.
Anyway, I would feel guilty with regular ballons:D
I didn't said it was good or that I would buy one:)
Anyway the first Apple boards got "cute" / "tidy" layouts of components to.
And in the laptops they have non-rectangular shapes.
I don't see Apple machines as things there you're going to exchange anything anyway. It's a computer in a box. They build differently because well, they can, and that allow them to build crazier designs than something built on ATX.
For me personally I kinda don't have the need for more than one or possibly two HDDs and no optical drive and even a Micro-ATX case most often has room for 6 or more HDDs. I want a small case..
But then there's mini-itx for that so no problem. As such I think it's good with multiple standards in this case. I don't need a 10 HDD, 6 optical drives, dual-psu case =P
Man that joke sure was funny in 1996. You might want to update your material.
It's not a thermos either.
Also I wasn't speaking about the optical media drive.
It's round and from above it has a lower surface in the center where the fan is and hence you could spill fluids into it but I don't really see why or how it would happen.
But as said I assume some idiot could place a cup there if they wanted to. Or anything at all.
Why do you need to put things on top of it and SPILL DRINKS IN IT?!
It's not a cup holder. Though I suppose it could keep your coffee somewhat warmer.
I assume it's not huge either. So complaining about how it's not a massive super expandable machine may not matter that much if it's powerful and small. Because it's not even trying to be.
I assume it may be pretty small and the design stands out (though I don't know how much I like it. But then I would never buy it anyway and I would never recommend anyone to do so either so.. Doesn't matter much.)
I assume we'll see other cases built around "the case is the heatsink" design now. Will be interesting to watch.
Yeah, seem more like a cube. But powerful. I don't know how powerful the cube was?
So if I have monitors with high resolution I still have to tell all the applications to change their size, individually, or use a microscope to read the text, right?
Something at least. And what's the problem with that? Don't you think whatever is drawing on the screen got a better idea about how things could be scaled anyway? What's the benefit of the alternative? I don't see any purpose at all, I assume you could possibly still describe pixels and hence not be unable to do what you want to do but of course Qt or whatever could draw curves and the window manager tell the applications which font sizes would be suitable for instance?
If I stretch a window (intending to scale it, rather than just see more of what it shows) it has to go back to the application for re-rendering, right?
I guess yes but wouldn't it have to be re-rendered regardless of where the scaling happens?
Guess the monitors with different resolutions and the same window being split on both / many would be a real problem but on the other hand I wouldn't place a window there I'd most likely want to have full screen windows on each monitor.
Still, this attitude of "wasted minutes" is ridiculous, people are not machines and are thus do not operate continuously throughout the day... We have to take breaks, our attention wanders and we can't concentrate on the same thing for too long. Sure 6 minutes of extra time on an automated system is a worthwhile gain, but for a human its just lost in the noise and what you gained in one place would just be lost elsewhere.
.. yeah, but it eats into precious Slashdot-time (or whatever) and hence that quarter become 21 minutes and..;D
On the other hand, Linux on the desktop is pretty much doomed when it comes to any ordinary person just wanting to install it, use it and have it work if the first question they have to deal with is which of 20 UI's and desktops they should pick.
Not really since as far as distributions go Gnome and GTK is the standard.
Even though some use KDE to.
Xorg standard would be twm or something such I guess but that's not very relevant to someone installing a distribution.
(Maybe that's a kinda weird thing to say when Ubuntu use Unity and Mint Mate and Cinnamon and those are the two biggest but well, guess it's close enough to being "kinda Gnome" to me and at least giving someone Gnome on those or something else won't change / break all to much.)
Slashdot Mirror
Just saying.
Likely not a DVD at all.

First prison here:

Is the one I thought about in:

Thousands of people drown every year in a liquid that is 2/3 hydrogen, so there is no denying that it is dangerous stuff.
AND 11,89%? :)
Helium? I think we are wasting so much.
.. News at 11.
But no film.
Kodak moment.

Yeah.. power at least ..
Global warming is coming.
I thought the Xbox (benefits) was supposed to be more about what's not console gaming? =P, whereas WiiU may be something for gamers.
Anyway, of course one want Mario and Zelda titles. Though I guess the others got their own brand titles.

Back in the days they had these keyboards: ... which you could turn the computer on with.

Maybe you still can?

Then, it has 6 Thunderbolt 2 ports running at 20gbps managed by 3 controllers.
Get whatever external enclosure you want and run whatever you want. Raids, Video cards, etc..
PCI-express 16x according to Wikipedia:
v3.0: 15.75 GB/s (128 GT/s)
v4.0: 31.51 GB/s (256 GT/s)
15,75*8/20 = 6,3 times faster.
They claim it's the most upgradable mac ever.
It's got Thunderbolt 2. And USB.
It's still a PC.
Innovative board and case designs though.

Relevant enough for you, or do I need to resort to a beer analogy? :)
One million = lots of beer = solve it quickly! ... friday tomorrow!

At some time "Think different" changed meaning from "take LSD" to "I to must have an iPhone!"
From my perspective Apple has only been interesting for their software, but since it's filled with vendor lock-in it's not all that useful.
it's that or those damn flash ads using up all my computer resources anyway.
May just as well at least get rid of the ads =P
our genitals being fried from CPU/GPUs under heavy load.
There must be a joke in there waiting to be found but I don't know what it is :)
