The gun is chambered for a 7.62 NATO round. That's like a.30 caliber bullet. A pretty common caliber for anyone who hunts medium sized game. It's a semi-auto rifle as well, so nothing incredible about that. If you ignore the 20 roiund clip, this rifle doesn't do anything out of the ordinary except look "scary".
A Barret.50 would have been much more exciting to receive.
so why the Samsung Lawyers were so late in presenting this "extra evidence"????
Possibly waiting until jury selection/direction was finalized because then you cannot argue the point about "swaying the jury" with public material. The jurors are not allowed to research the case using any other material than what is presented in court. If they do, they are removed from the jury.
If Google really wants a win in the TV streaming arena, they need to make the Q stream Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. None of the current offerings out there can do it. You need a different one for each service which is idiotic and based in marketing politics.
If Google ends up with "just another box" streaming MP3s, youtube, and Google TV it's just fail waiting for the fail boat on fail island. People will use their phone or tablet for that before plunking down $300 bills.
I don't care what NOAA, station siting, or the numbers say. I've not experienced heat like this summer, ever. It's too friggin hot. Last winter was pathetic as far as cold and snow go. It was not the usual. The gist of it is global temp is going up. It's been going up since the late 1800s because people exacerbate the "normal" heating periods of the planet. There's no point in arguing about bunk data. You don't need it. Instead, spend time figuring out what to do after we go over the edge of the tipping point.
People should be able to say whatever they want, but that's a really shitty thing to say. Intentionally malicious.
I think if the law wants to get involved, make the kid spend a few weekends in a hospice center as "community service". Monetary fines and other nonsense just don't matter in cases like this.
But I've had to nuke half a dozen or more instances of Linux in the same time.
This sounds like a rant coming from someone who has never taken the time to learn any system skills beyond "insert CD and reboot".
This is coming as a former ardent Linux fanboy who got his first Slackware distro in the 90s.
Just because you have the CD doesn't automatically give you the knowledge. Anyone who had the fortitude to get Slack up and running 20 years ago wouldn't still be cussing about it.
Ever tried to shoot a pack of coyotes eating your spring calves using a bolt action rifle?
You are obviously part ghost and/or quite a marksman. Sneaking up on coyotes to get within effective pistol range is quite a feat. Equally impressive is the fact you are out-shooting a rifle with your side-arm, at running coytotes. Perhaps you're using an Uzi?
That still saddles YOU with being tier 1, 2, 3, n support for basically the rest of your life.
How is this any different from supporting Mac or Windows platforms? Same problems either way. And don't give me that line about "Phoning tech support" because most of the time the lackees on the other end have no clue how to fix the problem unless it's on the check-sheet they're reading off.
is supporting Windows 7 and MS office really that bad?
All of these platforms (Linux, win, mac) have their share of problems. The last mac upgrade turned my laptop into a block of molasses, Ubuntu/Nvidia can't get their Video drivers right - ever. Windows is just a psychopath - I need to reinstall every 6 months to get the performance back. Same old crap, different platforms.
The real problems I see waiting for our Intrepid Admin come from the fact that he's "trying to convince" the users. That is just off to a bad start already. If the users aren't on board (and actively persuing) some benefit or advantage to "changing" things, they are going to revolt at the first sign of problems.
The tie and "swear jar" are fun ideas, but sexual harassment lawsuits are no laughing matter. Careers have been ruined in both directions and companies a lot in both legal expenses as well as reputability. I would suggest telling those "10 guys" to grow up or gtfo.
Why would you want a desktop app on a phone anyway?
Java is a portability option (if you are mindful). You can write a single Java based application and run it on any platform supporting the version you compiled for. This gives you instant portability to other platforms without having to wonder about ended-ness, hardware, file structure and myriad other things. Imagine writing a game on Linux and automaticaly, it would run on Windows, Mac and any other Java supported platform.
Now, all this ease does come at a cost. It takes an extra layer of software (java VM) and more CPU power and RAM than a native application but this is the tradeoff. If you are wise, you can get acceptable performance out of modern hardware.
In reality, developers haven't always coded Java with portability in mind. Some platforms (won't mention any names) have been suspect of "hobbling" the stability of Java on purpose because said platform had their own implementation to market, but that's beside the point. Java portability is a keen aspect of the language which sometimes gets overlooked. It can offer some very real benefits under favorable circumstances but is by no means the end-all many would like. It has it's drawbacks too but the portability is a big one.

I'm continually dismayed that large numbers of people--
Oh, so many ways to finish that sentence.

Just because they are implementing the functionality, does not mean they have to make it work well.
So, make a clause in the multi-year contract that if the Administrator sucks and isn't doing his job, fire his ass and take the next guy in line.
Why should these positions be any different than any other employment?
Surely the OP doesn't think the DSN is on the Internet ?
What about the PCs controlling Curiosity? Having a back-door on a desktop is lots easier than building your own antenna.
After all, they know what terrible security looks like from 2006

1) re-master ubuntu, call it GnomeOS
2) tell users to piss off again
3) implement suck
WIthout Canonical, Gnome has no user base to drive development. They need each other.

There is no "try"
Yes because one gaming company decides it doesn't like windows and makes a Linux port. It must mean that it is an industry change.
Meh.. either that or they are no longer afraid of angering the 800 gorilla.

as in completely borked.
In my country, most Apple users *are* ingratiating, smug and condescending. Out of the whole Unix lot of the self-righteous, they take the cake.

Stop buying their games. The DRM will stop. Steam isn't much better as far as playing 'unplugged' but I guess I have more faith in Valve as a company.
