You're right, it's a very deep voice coil in 70's colors, and there's a small disco ball hanging right next to it inside the drive that makes the bits Get Perpendicular.
This is true for the oil companies, they'd be stupid not to profit from superior tech. But what if they're not the only ones with a vested interest in oil? Someone could make sure that oil is more profitable for them for political reasons.
I've noticed the memory usage too. One time, I had started FF to open a simple page with a small flash animation. The window was left open over night, and in the morning it had gobbled up 143MB of memory. It's the biggest memory leak I've seen in 5 years.
I think it's perfectly fine for anyone to turn off all and any safety features on their own car, on their own private road.
But if you're driving on a public road packed with hundreds of other drivers, you're talking bullshit. It's great to have severe penalties and all, but they don't work on human beings in the way you think. A lot of people do stupid irrational shit all the time, and you might die from it tomorrow.
..If you're extrapolation from the smell of pure alcohol, that won't work at all. See, the vast majority of alcoholic beverages contain much less than 50% alcohol. Beer contains aroun 4-7%, and at 4%, it's definitely not the alcohol you taste. Same thing with ciders, (good) wines, etdc. I've tasted a liquour that had about 50% alcohol, but still didn't taste like it, which was pretty impressive.
I went to that site, and what "Today's bible verse" comes up, if not Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Though I'm biting a flamebait, I must point out that not wearing a uniform doesn't mean that the Geneva convention won't apply. Anyone is free to defend their country, no matter if there are available materials or not, i.e. if you can't get a uniform because there simply aren't any (which is not an uncommon situation), you simply make do with something else.
And anyway, why exactly should anyone be sent to a gulag out of anyone's oversight? Why should a British hacker be sent there? If he's a criminal, he should be put to trial, not lynched in the true American Way.
Troll? I didn't make the original comment (please remember to check who says what), and I was mostly referring to your line: "Fuck YOU you fucking retard who obviously has no clue who I am!... I don't talk to them anymore."
Your father seems to have been very concerned, though unecessarily so, if he really said what you paraphrased, but your introverted anger seemed really like a true knee-jerk teenage burst of emotions. Especially since you say you don't talk to them anymore... I mean, that's just not sane.
the size of the CCD is directly proportional to its quality
Exactly, a reasonable CCD can already capture most of the light hitting it, so the only way to improve noise ratios is to either increase the size of the CCD, increase the gathering ability of the lens, or have better noise processing.
Now, since the tiny lenses of phone cameras don't have any focusing mechanism, they need to have a fairly small aperture in order to have as wide depth of focus as possible, which reduces the light reaching the CCD. My thin Exilim snapshot cam has f4.8, and I guess phones have about the same or even smaller. I don't think the quality can be made that much better than what it is now, because there just isn't enough light to go around. Acceptable quality, but not really for printing out. Unless you get a camera that has extra phone functionality.
- When you drive to work every day do you roll a d% to see if you make it there alive? No, the rolling of the d6 is part of the action.
- When you eat a sandwich, do you roll a fortitude save to not get poisoned? Again, the die roll is part of the action if you eat a sandwich you found on the street. Though most people avoid the die roll by making it from their own raw materials, hunted from the shop.
- Do you buy tons of flour, yeast, sugar and salt to grind your way to making a perfect roast?
Yes, if that's what you're studying (cooking). Or to put it another way: Do you hunt bugs day in day out, grinding your way to the perfect code? Play an instrument every day? Run around a track?
Real life is a game based on chance, moreso than MMORPGS. Do you get to choose your character? Your parents, starting location, or faction? Games are escapism only because they have simpler rules. Make a game with complex enough rules and it will be another life, and it already seems to be.. Remember also that socializing in that life isn't artificial, you're dealing with other human beings.
That's not saying that it's a better place to be, not now. But how long will that be true? Is it still a problem when it's a better place to be?
Oh, and there's a lot of time spent in transitional stages and loading screens in real life. Not to mention 7-9 hour server downtimes every single day.

Damn, I didn't know mkdir worked in windows these days. I've always used md.
All in all, I'm immensely happy that I was born in the age when things started happening really fast, instead of two hundred years ago.

"If a feature is in Windows and no one uses it, is it still a feature?"
I've even seen entire computer classes in a university loaded with Win98.
Hope my links work.

They're cool, they can come to Europe. Pick up Greenland on your way too, that's a cool place as well.
He was merely describing the joyfulness in the air, as they go down in a CRIA of pain.
License of death, what a power to wield!
That sounds like a horribly convoluted position, when you could just use your right thumb with the plastic thing on it.

I had a modern schoolbook like that too, not too many years ago. It taught me about winchester drives, and that's all I have to say about that.
Coincidence? I think not!

Exactly. IIRC, the line from Kumamoto to Oita across the Kyushu outback is a pretty long stretch of diesel-only: map

That's true, but science itself seems to be pure, in the long run. So far.
Image manipulation usually requires a lot of beefy memory, i.e. the faster, the better.

You seem to be quite the tolerant and understanding person yourself...
