Hewlett-Packard makes ammunition? I thought they only made cheap printer ink and sold it in expensive half filled cartridges.
I wouldn't buy ammunition from HP though, it wouldn't work with your gun unless you bought a special chip, and then while the clip looks like it's full, the gun will tell you it's empty half way through so you have to go buy more ammo.
Ohh, how do you plan to do this AC? Really? Start another website?
Have you got any actual *implementable* ideas?
Or are you eating Cheetos in your mothers basement?
Serious question. What *do* you plan to do?
Propagating ideas is important too. It's not as important as action, yes, but what Assange has done will be meaningless unless his message of openness doesn't spread through voting society.
If 51% of voters support Assange, who cares if they do it eating cheetos? You think the US is worried about one man? They're worried about his message. And it's too late to stop that. The best they can do is distract people from the leaks by punishing Assange and making sure it's this embassy bollocks in the media instead of the contents of those cables.
The NBN is already paid for with government bonds, which will return 4% to investors, however, the NBN itself will make 7% ROI, which means Australian government will pocket 3% from the exercise. Which will probably be spent on even more infrastructure. Which is a lot better than Telstra did, I think all the money they ever made went straight to Sol Trujillo's retirement fund. How on earth can you describe 3% profit as sending Australia into debt?
Please Mr Abbot, stop mucking around on Slashdot and go develop a real policy alternative instead of just spreading FUD and automatically gainsaying whatever the ALP comes up with.
“Never more than at this moment in the modern era have we needed a profound reminder of the colossally important and exciting role that science, space exploration and the human quest for knowledge must continue to play in our development as a species,” said MacFarlane.
Quite a serious side to the man. Clearly, menstruation and holocaust jokes are just his day job.
Clearly McFarlane is just a bizarro human, opposite to all normal guys, who work really boring jobs in science, engineering etc, and are only free to make menstruation and holocaust jokes in their spare time.
It's not really a tax, it's a surcharge. And it's not BS, it's a reasonably clever publicity campaign. It's selfish, but the overall intention is good, to encourage people to move away from IE7. Nobody can say it's not good to encourage that.
Obviously you can just avoid the surcharge by, as the webpage suggests, following a link and getting Mozilla or Chrome.
Kogan didn't have to do anything at all, he had a lot of options, he chose this one as a way to stir up discussion, highlight to consumers that IE7 adds unnecessary development costs, and encourage people to switch to a better browser.
Actually ME looked quite good on screenshots. It just looked bad when you used it, because the UI which looked almost exactly like 98SE would be punctuated with repetitive errors and then the whole screen would turn a familiar ugly blue colour.
I don't see how this is not free speech. They can still say whatever they want, and show off photoshopped skeleton women if they want.
They just have to be honest about what they are doing now.
Somewhere in the mad stampede to protect free speech, the USA has forgotten the value of facts, truth, and integrity, and they've done so at a cost far greater than the freedom of speech gives them.
People have been poking fun of dictators and monsters for centuries. If you think about it, there's just no good reason to even tolerate these people, but it happens. The Three Stooges poked merciless fun at Hitler.
Maybe it's a kind of healing mechanism, to make light of a truly horrible situation. Maybe it's important to belittle these people, so they will not be revered, but remembered instead as tyrants and jokes.
Please carefully read my post before fanboy kneejerk. I mentioned quite clearly that you can buy an OEM system which is easily on par with the same components in an Apple PC built by the same manufacturers like Foxconn, just like the off the shelf parts are also made by the same group of manufacturers.
The only difference is the white plastic.
If you're not sure about what you're trying to say, go research fail rates and warranty return rates on Apple stuff compared to other major OEMs. It might teach you something.
And please, don't go comparing an apple laptop to a generic desktop PC as if that's some kind of valid comparison.
And don't go suggesting that because someone doesn't want to pay twice as much as they should for a white PC with an apple logo on it, they're a computer nerd. It just digs you deeper into the apple fanboy hole you live in.
Since Apple runs on x86/x64 hardware nowadays, it's very easy to build or buy a system which is just as reliable from off the shelf parts or from an OEM.
Both sets of hardware will run Windows or Linux, which is a good way to remove OS disparity from the equation (OSX cannot be the reason why Apple is better, that's a jokable and trollish fanboy premise).
So, thinking about two systems, x86/64, same internal components, same OS, but one is white and has fruit on the cover.
Why is one twice as good as the other, again? I'm a bit lost.
This isn't true... enthusiasts, both Apple and Android, will pay cash for a handset upgrade just because they want the latest and greatest.
People who don't care will just go on a plan with their cell provider, and upgrade either when the plan expires, or when the phone breaks or becomes so old as to be useless.
This is true, I own a Streak 5, but Dell has been absolutely terrible at providing support and Android updates to the device. They also shipped it with a completely horrendous UI called "Stage". The build quality was "OK" but not great, too. Dell just didn't properly perform in the market segment.
I will be switching to a Samsung Galaxy Note very soon, and there's quite a buzz about that tablet, and most of it seems to be simply because Samsung knows how to do Android well.
I had a Motorola e1000 way before the iphone came out. It shared many of the design elements of modern smartphones, but didn't have the available technology to make it work.
Nonetheless, Motorola can't sue Apple for that because, dum de dum, the design elements are generic and can't be patented.
Slashdot Mirror
I expect the following script change to take place.
"Penny... Penny... Penny... " will be replaced with "Porsche... Porsche... Porsche..."
I don't know how to say this sir, but 1196 is lower than 3310, sir. Unless you tell me otherwise, sir.
Why did he spy on the government in the first place?
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but why is the display driver exposed to the network at all?

But we do thank him for the NBN (even if it might mean we will soon have a national debt to rival greece to pay for it).
Wow, get your facts straight.

By the same logic, people only ever use the shutdown mechanism of the OS once every session, so it should probably be removed too.
So, another solid example of the "Pure science and engineering" stuff that NASA does bleeding into real world applications.
Kind of.

But charging a tax? That's just bullshit.

Don't forget the endless and amusing conniptions they give to Gerry Harvey of "Hardly Normal", king of wildly inflated prices.
Not quite.
95 Good
98 Meh
98 SE Good
ME Bad

Try not playing bad console ports, your life will be magically better.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes!
They've just proven that alzheimers is easy to cure for mice.
The smudge of an unlock pattern is pretty easy to spot, which is why I very quickly went back to using a pin on my Android.
If you don't believe me, start looking at other people's Androids and you'll pretty quickly find a way in.

So, the basis for Christianity is not what is written in the bible, but something else entirely?
Where does the doctrine and instruction come from then?
Of course, the church?
