And since you mentioned it: Forcing said women to undergo a procedure where she is partially penetrated with a probe for the purpose of making her listen to the heartbeat is *beyond* any merely "informing" someone about a medical procedure.
Having seen it done, seriously, shut the fuck up. If thats the part your concerned with you're so disconnected from reality that you shouldn't talk, it just makes you look childish.
Perhaps you'd be better off with a cluepon that you could obtain by looking over the voting record of any politician you can think of. Who 'is in office' is irrelevent to how they act, the only thing different is how the media acts and who gets blamed.
What they do never changes, just what they say about others.
Get a clue. Neither your blessed democrats nor those ebil republicaans are your friends or are any different from one another, you're just too blind to notice it.
Define space, argue over that for a few days amongst yourselves, then get back to me.
Not that either one are particularly impressive feats as can be seen by the fact that anyone with the money can Google how to do it with either device, then pay a little bit of cash and well... do it.
Its not like either one is doing anything that NASA didn't figure out how to do 60 years ago now.
Yes, but its power saving is still absolutely horrible compared to anything you'd actually use in space. Android is a 'desktop' OS for phones. Its only mildly concerned with power saving, in reality power on Earth is 0 cost free energy compared to power in space. It in no way compares to what software running on real sats does to conserve power. The whole scheduler is horribly horribly inefficient for those purposes.
I can not possibly imagine any scenario you can come up with where 'I dont need to be connected to the VPN to code' is an acceptable answer. You go for days without revision control, continuous integration builds and testing, syncing code updates from others into your branches? Unless your home happens to be the company data center, I just can not possibly understand how you can claim that its acceptable to not be connected to the company VPN. The only argument is 'thos things dont require me to use the VPN' in which case, your just being pedantic.
If your excuse is something along the lines of 'we dont do that', well then you're just doing it wrong and nothing more need said.
I can make a script to randomly send data to and from servers, then delete the data once it arrives at the destination. If I uploaded, oh, a geolocation IP file to random servers, that's 250MB each go. If you're just measuring MB/GB, I could be a top performer in less than a week by stint of a simple script.;)
And people arrogant enough to actually do this shit are ignorant of the fact that other metrics matter and eventually make it obvious they aren't as productive as they should be and get fired anyway.
Why do you think you are the special one that none will ever figure out?
It makes determine who isn't out on the beach 100% ignoring thier duties though doesn't it.
You can pretend that it makes no difference at all, but no one over the age of 30 with half a clue is going to side with you. Only in fantasy land does everyone 'work' from home. Half of them are 'working' from the beach or wherever they feel like being.
You aren't touching RCS servers with your work regularly? I'd fire you for other obvious reasons then. Your attitude would be a good excuse as well, you can be replaced for a 1/3rd the price by an Indian thats happy to have a job.
If you're working for a company, there are few and far between those people who actually have a reason not to be regularly communicating with internals. You almost certainly aren't one of those people since you're coding. You most certainly have people and servers within the origination you should be communicating with rather often or you are simply doing it wrong. If you don't understand what those functions on, thats yet another reason you should be dumped.
I realize that you're arrogant enough to think that you are a special case where this is not true, but you aren't. Sorry. Unless you are that one guy that runs the entire company and everyone works around him, and never needs standard company tools like revision control systems or continuos integration builds/tests with other workers collective output.
The JVM/Java ecosystem is exactly what Linux needed to have a chance on the desktop. It's a huge ecosystem of ready made libraries and tools, most of which are open source. Why reinvent the wheel?
Because while Java itself isn't 'flawed', most of what you're think would make it great is actually really shitty libraries that are 'the problem' that Java experiences in the first place.
I've heard this story many times, and every time its because someone thought they knew more about how the OS should work than they actually did and went in and screwed something up then bitched when all of the sudden stuff stopped working right.
I assure you, millions of other people have a 'just work' experience with OS X and all those apps.
But hey, you know more than the millions of idiots who seem to have fully functional Macs... don't you?
I have never seen a situation where using a USB device was 'faster' than ANYTHING on a hard drive.
ReadyBoost has never made a USB 2.0 device faster than just pulling the original data off the hard drive.
Its a cute idea, but in practice it fails instantly.
Swap... on USB? Are you fucking kidding? Do you have any idea how much that would suck absolute ass?
Your hard drive is orders of magnitude faster than your shitty USB device. My iron-oxide disk is at least 10 times faster than the USB3 key plugged into my machine, and thats ignoring my SSD boot drive speeds, which guess what they due to the speed graph?
USB* is slow, even at USB3 speeds its a dumb idea.
That doesn't work without a server authority, so that needs always-online to work.
Thats funny because my friends, myself, and many others had that same sort of feature in SimCity 4 without a central server. And... guess what... EA even had a way to do it through their servers without any such always on requirement.
Thinking they NEED to be connected for this just shows how you don't understand how this stuff works and as such are being taken advantage of.
Are you really so stupid as to think EA has more processing power at its disposal than millions of potential customers?
You're really claiming that EA has more processing power sitting around idle just for SimCity 5 players than its entire customer base has combined sitting on desktops?
Really?
That stupid are you?
You must believe EA to have the single largest computing infrastructure in the world.
EA hasn't been a game maker for years. They're just another Hasbro now. Turning out cheap copycat toy after cheap copycat toy. The only difference is who's branding they put on the game. They want everyone to pay more and more regardless of how much they paid for the game up front and that is much more difficult offline. With an always on, always tied to your account, always able to verify, always able to control the save game so you can't possibly just hex edit yourself the extra ???? you need.
The reason EA games suck is not because they are more greedy than useful, the reason EA games suck is because they are hundreds of times more greedy than useful. Ubisoft is hardly any better, those they at least learned how retarded always on was and stopped.
Remember, always connected means you in no way own your game. When they turn off the servers, your game goes away and you don't get your money back, its just done. No one will play SimCity5 again after that point.
Won't effect me.
When I first heard about SC5 after seeing the fucktarded SimCities Socities, I thought KICK ASS! A new SimCity... and then put it in the back of my mind until it was actually released so I don't nag myself about it until then... then yesterday I read a review on arstechnica.com... Always on, small play area, economy is entirely unpredictable and irrational in its turns from bust to boom to bust with no logical reason why, all sorts of further issues in the full article. All of the issues seemed to stem from the fact that force you to play and depend on other people.
NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO FUCKING PLAY GAMES WITH INTERNET MORONS OKAY?
I certainly don't. Sometimes, I do. Sometimes I will play with friends, in certain games, when my mood fits it. But any game that I'm going to sit down and dedicate hours of effort and planning to, I'm only going to play with about 3 select friends who will NEVER have the time to be online at the same time as me (kids tend to make schedules hard on you). The rest of the Internet is pretty fucking annoying to deal with in those games, I certainly don't want my game to have to deal with how that jack ass sells his commodities and prices which screw my plan or spews his environmental mess at me.
I ALREADY HAVE REAL LIFE, I DON'T WANT IT IN A GAME.
In a game I want to be in control. I don't want to be at some little 'Anonymous' asshole's whim.
Yes, if you ignore all the other interactions that have value that are intermixed with useless ones, then it all seems useless.
Have you never gotten a date as the result of some meaningless conversation? Have you never learned something new as the result of a meaningless conversation with a clerk, or overheard from someone else's meaningless conversation?
My guess is that the one with a problem here is you, and you don't even realize how much of the world around you that you're missing just because you have your head so far up your own ass.
If people in general didn't want to talk to other human beings, most of our planets population wouldn't be crammed into tiny areas ridiculously over crowded of land, better known as villages, towns and cities.
What people don't want is to deal with the lip of the teenage prick behind the counter who thinks his shit doesn't stink and that you're an asshole because you didn't realize that your 6 pack of soda counts as 6 different items so you now have 21 items in the 20 items or less line.
And what you ended up with was no different than giving $20 to Zynga via Farmville.
The only difference is the Zynga isn't hasn't sunk so low as to realize that you are so much of an idiot that you'll by things that aren't even worth anything in farmville.
You have in fact just spent $20 on bits of data that are easy to duplicate, in fact, you got a duplicate, not the original, and that is only 'of value' to people selling them to other morons like yourself.
Show me the statute which makes fractional reserve banking (by a licensed financial institution) fraudulent anywhere in the word. Far from being fraudulent, it is a necessary requirement for the creation of the kind of wealth required to put the hardware you need to read this post in front of you.
Just because its not illegal doesn't mean it isn't fraud. It sure as hell isn't a requirement to accomplish anything. Fractional reserve means they loan money they don't ACTUALLY HAVE. That my friend, is fraud is most normal people's heads. Only in a twisted world is that 'ok' and normal. It doesn't take much of an intelligent person to spot the metric fuckton of problems this sort of fraud causes, and if you'd had your eyes open the last couple of years you'd see it first hand.

Microsoft will sell you what ever you want for the right price. Plenty of people have the source code to Windows's kernel already.

DVCS where the company doesn't get regular copies of your work somehow is a disaster waiting to happen on multiple levels.
I can not possibly imagine any scenario you can come up with where 'I dont need to be connected to the VPN to code' is an acceptable answer.

Right ... because the workers who are slacking off have absolutely no part in the situation what so ever.
REALLY?
Angsty workers who think coming to the office is too much of a demand for them aren't generally 'talent', they just think they are.
I can make a script to randomly send data to and from servers, then delete the data once it arrives at the destination.

Set the tm flag in your volume definitions and use a different zeroconf daemon, avahi doesnt' do ti for some reason.
The license for OSX requires an apple branded computer, there is no legal copy of OS-X installed on a 'PC' without an Apple logo.
