When I worked and I was sick, i would call up and it would go like this. "I can't make it to work today, I'm not feeling well" I'd say. "If you want to keep you job, you better get your ass to work." Is what they'd reply back.

Tripping and scraping up knees is a valuable part of childhood. It teaches you to pay attention to what you are doing and to dress properly for every occasion.
I have a ton of old computers that still run. C64's, C128, Atari 1040ST, TRS-80 4p, Amiga's, Mac's.
One of them currently has a CF board for it (Apple II's).
Rest of them are getting some sort of modern interface improvement. Also, I use a MacSE to network the Apple IIgs. Only thing the MacSE does, connects 2 networks together.
Now the Amiga's aren't that hard to get networked (remember PARnet?) or modern storage adaptors. Oh, one of the Amiga's in an Amiga 1000.
While Commodore computers have had the parallel port adaptors for years, there is a lot of other great hardware improvements for them. I can't afford them unfortunately, but as luck would have it, i have a ton of disks that are still good. Holds me till i get around to building my own.
I have 3 working Commodore monitors and a Sony EGA monitor. You can have one of my Commodore monitors after you kill me, because I won't give one up otherwise. I'm sure I don't have to explain why.
On top of the computers, I have working video game consoles that are 20+ years old and working. Think I have an alarm clock that is probably that old also. Too bad the video game consoles of pre-HD looks horrible on my 1080p TV, but that's why I have so many Commodore monitors.
Only thing that is over 20 years old that gets used regularly is one of the Commodore monitors. I have my Wii hooked up to it for emulators. Did have my PS2 hooked up, but it burnt another harddrive out so I'm going to have to get a new network/harddrive adaptor for it. My Dreamcast would be hooked up to it, but i can't seem to find the video cord for it. But anyways, my Commodore 1902 monitor is currently getting used 3-5 times a week, for a few hours at a time. All my other stuff is just whenever i feel like doing something.
Manufacturing in China is getting more expensive and North America is becoming more competitive. The tax rate on repatriating money made outside of the US also makes manufacturing in the US more advantageous.
Except they aren't manufacturing anything, they are "assembling" in America. Fancy speak for plugging a power cord into the computer, or "assembling" the box that the computer and power cord goes in.
If his life was indeed in danger, he handled the situation well. By appearing to behave like a lunatic (on the internet), he got the attention of the international news media.
OK, that explains one. Now why do the rest of us behave like lunatics on the internet?
If Belize is a problem for him, why doesn't he move back to the US?
Because Belize wasn't about to let him on a plane -- he's a fugitive. How do you think he's going to just up and go back to the US?
The two countries share a border, and he was arrested trying to enter illegally.
As to if they'll send him to the US or Belize... stay tuned.
The US and Belize do NOT share a border.
I know i had a public school education, but even I'm not that stupid.
Yes, I know you meant Guatemala and Belize, but you don't even have Guatemala mentioned in your post, so it seems like you are saying the US and Belize share a border. I would be embarrassed if I made such a mess up in public.
You plainly said you don't use it, so why the question? Feel guilty to take the phone off your desk? Be a man (or woman) and just remove it. If you don't use it, then get rid of it.
Why don't we just bulldoze concentration camps too? You know, just so we don't appear to be supporting the Holocaust.
lol, who is going to want to build on the site? Who would want to live, or go there?
The ground is spoiled now. Only good thing would to be a memorial to those who died and suffered there.
I understand the point you are trying to make, but I think you have it mixed up. A monument to the camps, or say in Japan where the bombs fell is good. But a monument to the bomb is bad. Understand? It would be like making a monument to Hitler, or to the SS. In other words, a monument to the tragedy from something, and not to the something that caused the tragedy.
I didn't have a problem with him until I read his wikipedia page. Now I have a big problem with him. I suggest you do the same. If you're basing your opinion of him on the fact that you liked downloading things from megaupload and hate the MPAA, you're missing a lot of real info. He's a class A jackass. Anyone who changes their last name to something that stupid is right up there with Chad Ochocinco.
Wow, MIAA/RIAA shill? How much they pay you?
He's a jackass? He's not part of the industry that sicks police on a 9 year old girl. And as much as you have a right to change your name to something you want, he changed his name to something he liked. Doesn't matter if it's stupid or not, it's his legal last name. To not like someone because of their last name sounds bad, in fact, almost sounds racist.
I never to rarely used Megaupload. And when i did, if was for legal stuff. I don't need megaupload, i have been getting my stuff from USENET and torrents sites since you could. But regardless, so what? He had a business of storing files. He worked with the MIAA and RIAA when asked, and even that is being used against him. It's a bullshit charge, from a country that has NO POWER over another country, except by trickery, deceit and bullying, which is what is going to be exposed in trial.
Okay, the commercial isn't helping matters, as far as I can tell.
While the tablet part looks great, the rest looks like a binder cover, and anyone that's every had a binder knows it doesn't stay nice and new looking very long.
and worse, look at the keyboard. While it maybe better then typing on a screen, it looks like a toy keyboard.
Then when the commercial is cutting out, you can see all the fingerprints on the surface of Surface, that there is the best use of Truth in a commercial. Because that is what you will get, a smudged up dirty tablet screen.
that being said, as soon as I can get a $100ish 10" tablet so I can read comic books in it, I'm down. That is the only real use i have for a tablet, while I'm sure i can find other uses, it's the only reason I want one, and it's not enough of an need to spend much more then $100 for it.
This sort of shit is only going to drive up pirating of copyrighted TV shows.
It's bad enough providers like Comcast push so much content thru their copper lines that HDTV looks like crap with any movement, but to spy on their users? Have content providers no shame? Worse, isn't Verizon just a mobile phone/ISP? Does it provide TV to homes now also?
Wow, just wow. You'd think there would be laws against this sort of thing, it's one thing having a mic on your computer, but to put that on a cablebox just for the purpose for eavesdropping on what is going on. Completely against privacy.
Politicians don't have better things to worry about?
Governments are set up to do more than one thing at a time.
And, yes, people still use CRT TVs and monitors, and, more importantly, they still did between 1996 and 2005, the time period of the actions which are the subject of these sanctions. Major prosecutions take time.
So where is my money? I'm the one who got abused by their price fixing. Oh, i'm not going to see a dime of it? ya, figures. Like my government needs more of my money, they already proved they are war junkies.
Wireless charging at a range of several meters is simple.
Oh, you wanted it to be safe?
I thought it was about wasted power. That it takes a lot more power to charge a device that is a meter away, in fact, wastes more power then it charges at distances.
I do what I want. You don't know me. oh wait, wrong show.
I don't read EULA because I don't care what they say. I will do what I want, with the software on my computer, how I want. You want to stop me? Take me to court. Sure, I got better things to do, but court only will cost me time, it will cost you money. I'm poor, I'm disabled, so you can't garnish my wages (don't have any), you can't touch my SS (haha), and if you throw me in jail, I will become a poster boy (or older dude) for how fucked up the system is.
And as stated, you need to be a lawyer to understand and break most EULA's down. That will go against them. You can't convince a jury that everyone needs to higher a lawyer to break down what EULA's say before anyone installs anything. In fact, most everyone in the jury will be familiar with how stupid EULA's are, how annoying, and probably be against them.
And as I've said before, any contract that does NOT have my signature on it, isn't a valid contract between me and the other person/place.
Ok, while we are at it, let's flip this question too.
Is there any particular game that is your favorite regarding exceptionally good optimization or low system requirements?
I would pick the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series -- should be playable even on the low-end Radeon APUs, while bringing large outdoor areas and a nice amount of detail.
Ya, nethack plays fast on whatever computer I put it on.
On private torrent sites at least. Can't find it on TPB.
Just download it yourself and see if you can run it.
IF I had pirated it and played about half the campaign already (which I haven't I'm too moral!), I would say it runs perfectly on my system. Quad core i5 2500k and Geforce 670, but that is fairly high end, no idea how it would run on a lower one. Or mine..since I haven't played it.
There was NOT a crysis 3 leak.
There was a multiplayer alpha which I was part of, and the game ran at 60fps highest settings on my i7-920 and a Nvidia GTX460.
That's nice for those developers, but as a programmer myself, I want to be able to write code for the machine. Where does one get the tools for that without paying a fortune for a developer's kit?
Well, currently anything you make for the Wii will run on the Wii U in Wii mode. Since the Wii and the Wii U use the same cpu instruction set, upgrading your code for Wii U mode when it becomes hacked will probably be relatively easy, much like some of the homebrew (emulators mostly) have gamecube & wii versions.
So you can start programming for the Wii to get your practice in, and hopefully in a few months the Wii U mode will be hacked.
You can google the software you need for it. But wiibrew.org is a good site for homebrew stuff and info.

Yes it is. Only pretty high end GPUs have 1GB Video RAM. Not sure, but I don't think consoles have that much
no, High End cards have 2gb or more video ram. I've seen some up to 4gb ram
