With apologies to the reg's admins, I tried to get to a story I was reading earlier on, and got the following in return:

Car Analogy: If you're doing your own oil changes, and instead of hauling the waste oil to a recycler, you dump it into your backyard, don't complain when you try and sell your house and the highest bid still leaves you $100,000 underwater on your mortgage, or requires you to spend $150,000 remediating it. Your property is worth less than it could have been, had you only been a better steward of it.
I'd have just gone with:
if daily mail, no.
This is the paper that is (unknown to them, apparently) the British cousin of The Onion - despite Private Eye's best efforts.
I have to confess that sometimes the gentlest intoductions were the best. The most expensive book on my reading list was Astronomy: The Evolving Universe, by Zeilik. I still love reading it to this day. Yes, maybe too many pictures for those that like the heavy stuff. If you really want to understand the basic principles - introduced in an absolutely clear manner - you won't get better.
Having not read TFA, I don't know which way round they got it wrong, but mixing up the UK and England in the intro really only shows why some in the other countries that make up the UK want out... Leaving aside the explosion of CCTV use.
The bands themselves are starting to spot the trends faster than the labels:
A band called The Crimea who split with their label (Warner Brothers in some guise or other, I believe) decided to release an album completely free of drm, and completely free of cost.
Their logic?
They made their money from touring - having people listen to their music would make more turn up to their real money maker.
I'm gonna petition for an extra option in my profile:
Alongside "Hide signatures" I want "Hide discussions involving seemingly witty signatures but then generate more offtopic posts than Custard recipies on an article about the Pope."
It was a godsend for me when I first found it. Working for a rural publisher meant we got *big* files down our 56k line. The ability to see and manipulate the mail queue for those of us not fortunate enough to be on *nix was truly empowering. There was no webmail, no alternative. We had been downloading 30Mb files overnight to try and get at our email... Heh. Good old simple "viruses come on floppies" days:)
I think this is inaccurate, and has nothing to do with human rights. We do not have the right to hit policemen in the UK... Or have I totally misunderstood how the law stands?
I'm not in any way a chip or fab expert - jsut someone who's been reading this stuff for a while. I was under the impression that smaller fabrication processes don't give any heat reduction of themselves. In fact, I thought it was almost the opposite: smaller fabrication parts are actually a lot more sensitive to the problems that heat bring - and so are cooler because they have to be run slower, or some more advanced technology allows the same processing to be carried out at that lower temperature.
Isn't it also true that the fact that AMD is almost matching Intel performance at inferior manufacturing specifications means that they have much more room to improve with less effort? I mean, doesn't only maching Intel's fabrication sizes each time while outperforming them bode well for their technology in the long term?
Am I right? Or totally misguided? Enlightenment, why do you mock me so?
It had me confused... spent a few minutes wondering how such an innocent post started such an AC choir. For me, it needs improving, if only because of that experience.
IANAL, but I think it's a provable intent to kill.
A punch, while an obvious attempt to harm, is difficult to prove to be an attempt to kill. I think that's the difference between manslaughter and murder. Not sure though;)
In all honesty, couldn't they just give us an "uninstall" choice instead of "upgrading"?
Having said that, an uninstall in this case would be pretty synonymous with an upgrade...

Spot on - even down to the turn of phrase I was going to use to describe the problem: "faulty ruler". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_error
I am an idiot.
4 sigma detection != (officially) found. You need 5 sigma for "discovery" status. The BBC have a good explanatory piece: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14811580

As I write, the site is still defaced. It's been up and down in the last few minutes though...

I'd hate to see your house analogies.

I found a Google Cache copy working well enough...
Spot on. For things to attain extra-planetary trajectories, it's always the same energy calculations: there's no free ride for things built in space.
Erm. Anyone been able to make a phonecall on one of these yet? Didn't you all cancel your call agreements?
Apologies.

The album?

(forgive the shameless plug *blush* - disclaimer: I'm a friend of the band, but not a member)
Ah, Slashdot.
Where the ball kicks you.
Apparently.

Yes, but that looks more like a 2CV than a Bug. Sheesh, do you guys know nothing? ;)

Pardon my cutting wit, but isn't anyone who *operates* a gun in any way a clear and present danger?

National origins as defined by the British Government. So yes.
