Well, I guess the main issue is that for a Mars->Earth trip the object has to lose energy (easy) whereas for Earth->Mars the object has to get energy (snowball chance in hell)
That's impossible to pirate, because there's no way you can share the code. As long as they assure the unlock code is the only mechanism allowed to re-enable the capabilities, and there is no BIOS mechanism to override the lock.
Ha, they're probably doing this via Microcode update, which is not only commonplace (you only never heard of it), VERY piratable.
Yes, but AMD aren't trying to sell you an upgrade... You may have a 3rd core which is defective, or you may get lucky and its just disabled and you can re-enable it with software for free. Either way you bought a cheaper chip. Intel on the other hand are selling a chip which is definitely fully working, and then trying to charge you extra to make use of the hardware you've already bought. AMD aren't trying to screw money out of you, you *may* end up getting a bargain out of them.
Intent is all important.
No
Most AMD Durons 1.2GHz were overclocked (multiplier unlocked), and able to be converted into Athlon 2000+ (1.6Ghz) by means of recreating bridges on the packaging of the processor.
I would recommend helping openSUSE instead. Many technologies are similar and openSUSE is, in my opinion, one of the most nicely rounded distributions - it's just not the popular one.
Yeah, I wonder why.
Maybe because they don't come with repositories configured like ALL OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS out there, for NO REASON. And it's a PAIN to find the addresses, a PAIN to use Yast to pull from them (proxies, non intuitive dialogs, etc, etc)
Yes, of course, only hot fusion in tokamaks can happen, anything else is crap. Yes, it's another 10B dollars and 20 years, yes we said he same last time, but we're for real now.
OTOH, I would (if I had anything worth) never sell secrets to Venezuela or other megalomaniac country like that. For several reasons including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Bull
That's why you don't give political power to psychopaths. The preferred cure is prevention. If they somehow achieve power and show signs of being psychopaths, and nuclear weapons might be involved, then the people of Venezuela should understand that sometimes a rabid dog needs to be put down.
Don't underestimate the power of fanatical leftism / nacionalism, it's as powerful as religious fanatism.
By the way, Nacionalism + Socialism, Nationalsocialism, in German it's sozialism, or to make shorter, Na(so)Zi
Helping Microsoft embrace/extend the web with Silverlight by giving the illusion that it's cross-platform was the last straw.
Well, see how that has worked out quite well! Oh wait, it didn't, everybody keeps using flash and now HTML5. Silverlight is stillborn.
I guess it's because Flash is designer centered whereas SL is developer centered. Also much easier to use than wathever MS did for SL.
For reference, Silverlight is neither cross-platform by design, because it's able to call native DLLs, or in practice because Moonlight is waaay behind.
I never tried Moonlight, but all vm / interpreted languages can usually call native code. That's with.NET, Python, Java, etc.
I mean, imagine a student going to France and expecting accommodations because he doesn't know French...
Funny that you mention that.
One of my teachers complained about exactly that. On his first class some of his colleagues (asian origin) barely knew the ABC in French. But apparently everything went ok.
When I was in France I was allowed a paper dictionary during exams.

The shuttle program was a huge waste of money, for almost no science benefit.
One word for you: Hubble
Another one: Galileo
Don't forget: Chandra X-Ray telescope
You could be in a bus, in a subway, or in an earthquake...
Or in the passenger seat
No, no, do it with a Phonon and I'll be really impressed!
Well, I guess the main issue is that for a Mars->Earth trip the object has to lose energy (easy) whereas for Earth->Mars the object has to get energy (snowball chance in hell)
OTOH they also have huge craters and 'no meteorite' in Mars
(And on Earth as well)
"Whoa, is this some kind of a joke?!"
NO
Not even close
That's saying you don't need a DVD drive on your pc since you have a DVD player connected to your tv
It's the right tool at the wrong place

You can easily select "community repositories" from YaST.
Which version!?
You also cannot do 'network install' by picking from a list, last time I tried.
The main problem is doing work with past versions (which is 90% of the time I used Suse)
I would recommend helping openSUSE instead. Many technologies are similar and openSUSE is, in my opinion, one of the most nicely rounded distributions - it's just not the popular one.

That, and Suse smoked the data from my HD once.

Yeah, but you don't need to be a genius to bang two pieces of plutonium together to attain critical mass
True, it may 'fizz', but for paranois morons like Hugo Chavez that's enough.

Really, no
Keep Miguel, he's underrated (and unjustly hated) by lots of people.
Mono, free software, patents, MS is evil, blah blah blah
The guy started Gnome (ok, I hate it) but it's a solid work.
Mono is also a solid work. And Oracle has just shown that there are issues with Java as well w.r.t patents and stuff
Also, Mono is something I see as embrace-extend backwards, that is, Mono does that to MS
Really, Miguel may be 'debatable' sometimes, but he's valuable
Actually they walk in, order, drink, get trashed, get into a fight and are thrown out
ALL AT THE SAME TIME
I would pay just to have the pleasure of firing McBride and the lawyers
Too bad they're gone
There are millions of engineers in this country that aren't going around blowing stuff up
but.. but.. but... that's the fun part!!!
Well do you have ANY evidence?! In favor or against?
Do people keep stats on this I wonder?!
BTW one thing is evidence, other is scientific proof, you seem to confuse them.

That would be dealt with on arrival, at customs, not at departure
Yeah, but smart people are dropped from the jury by lawyers of both sides usually.
