TFS even says this. I'm with the topic starter about being pissed though, because the outside of the box should say so as well, so that when you are browsing around you will know this up front. This would kill my use for the board as a server for example, as I like to boot my servers from a small (otherwise unused) HDD or CF card, using the big drives for storage instead. I refuse to have storage on my system root drive, and why waste the space of a large capacity drive?
I don't have sat, cable, or broadcast TV (I netflix any show people say I should watch, albiet a season later). Please though, I can't believe that anything would have a 50% ad-load... Who (broadcaster/show) does this? I'm genuinely curious. Last I remember was ~4/9/4 or ~5/7/5 for an hour long show (17 min ads + 43 min content). -nB
No kidding... My wife won't use my firefox install as it is secure by default (no-ads, no script, etc.) and it's a PITA for a non techie to use (and for some mysterious reason hates AOL's mail server [sigh, yes she insists on keeping her AOL address] ). So she uses Mozilla and is happy with it. I sit down to help her with something from time to time and wham! ads. I instinctively right click the ad to add it to the block list...:( -nB
No, it's just that you post the same link with the same verbage three or four times in a thread. My link is in my sig, which like ACs can be turned off (or modded -6 in the case of ACs). If your link was in your sig and you were posting anything even remotely relevant then you'd not have heard a peep from me. Tough love that you're homeless I hope to never be in that position, but my troll comment had nothing at all to do with your nick. I could think of vastly worse places to be homeless though...
He obviously doesn't know what a displaced fracture is or feels like (not that I do, but based on my buddies reaction it hurts a bit, shucks I broke the little spur that makes the point of the elbow and that stung enough). -nB
FWIW, if you have a critically wounded person in your car usually you do not receive a ticket. One of three things usually happens: Most common: Officer calls for an ambulance, you follow to the hospital (though without breaking any more laws). Second: Officer moves victim to squad car, bolts to hospital. You follow, again, without breaking any more traffic laws. Third: Officer says "oh shit" and gives you a red& blue escort to the hospital.
I've encountered the first and third personally. Both times I was the driver, neither time was I cited for obvious traffic violations. -nB
If you're interested, one was a crossbow bolt that may have ruptured the femoral artery (that's the escort one, as moving the person seemed to be the greater risk, the other incident was a displaced fracture of the forearm. -nB
And most flourinerts are not nice to the environment. despite what the quote in the article says. Dow has replacements for the entire FC line because of environmental concerns. the HFE line is almost twice the price though and can leak out of a seal better than helium from a latex baloon! -nB
I like the open/close quotes disparity ``":-) Yeah, we need to get a subpoena ring together. I'll subpoena your records, you subpoena mine... There needs to be a code of honor though, else I'm in for some trouble. -nB
Sadly I don't have mod points for you, but I agree 100% I have notice a clear striation in class where a certain style of music (gansta rap) becomes the norm. It's kind of interesting to me that in this "lower class" the rap music dominates, while in even mid-level classes there is an much wider breadth of music. -nB
IDK about that. I recently replaced a 720p monitor with a 1080p unit and there is a remarkable difference when working with HD content. even on my paltry 22" monitor the difference was mind blowing. I had been producing 1080p content for a while, but displaying it on a 720p output device (the RCs would be viewed on a 1080p plasma), switching to 1080p of everything was awesome.
On a more serious note, is this even enforceable? I mean my server is not in Utah... That or is Google going to simply de-list Utah and its businesses? -nB
Actually given the money he's made, I'd say the game is more fun to play with the bot's help.
Really I think he's in the clear on this but like another poster I dread the case law that may result. On a separate note, if I build a programmable keyboard that has the ability to macro complex keystrokes would that be an issue? How bout if I could macro the mouse as well? What if I also incorporated a capture device and pointed a video camera at the monitor, thus building an artificial player? (no process running on the machine with the game, all external). While this really is only a thought experiment, where is the line drawn?

That's just wrong.
Not quite 50/50, but still, wow! (screwing with TiVo wasn't nice either)

No but the TOU of sites like youtube may mandate that you accept an ad to be put in-line with your video.

Funny, I put a video on youtube, simply so I could link to it from another site, but save myself the bandwidth.

I don't understand why on earth you need to click your mouse twice in rapid succession every time you load the page...
