Major's government seemlessly transitioned from a majority to a coalition with support from the Unionists. If this support had been withdrawn, only then could the parliament be described as 'hung'.
Uh Hello? Nokia spend orders of magnitude more money on R&D than the other handset manufacturers. All the other handset makers are happy to pay licensing fees/royalties to them. For some reason Apple thinks it doesn't have to pay those royalties and can incorporate Nokia IP into its products, sorry I meant product, at will.
I despise patent trolls like everyone else here but this looks like a reasonable attempt by Nokia to defend its IP portfolio.
That figure is the alleged cost of upgrading the security of these systems after the attack, not the result of any 'damage' that he may have caused. I'm not in any way condoning what he has done and Asperger's is no excuse but the desktops that he accessed were often Internet facing with blank or weak administrator passwords, seems to me like there should be some sysadmins on trial with him for gross negligence.
My analogy (no car sorry) would be that it's like a robbed bank having to spend $700,000 on a vault after realising that keeping the money in wooden boxes in the back yard is inadequate.
I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah!
Slashvertisement it may be but as a former employer of Vodafone I know that they have the best voice and 3G coverage of any mobile operator in the UK. That's why they are the government's preferred operator. And no I don't have any affection for the company.
As for yourself, getting coverage in your mother's basement would be a challenge for any network.
..and I'm surprised it took so long for the EU commission to reach their conclusion and that the fine was not higher.
For a significant number of years AMD had a cheaper and superior product but could not make headway against Intel's questionable sales tactics. For those who worked in the channel it was blatantly obvious as to what was going on.
For all you who believe that this is some kind of anti-US conspiracy by the EU don't overlook the fact that Intel have already been convicted in two other countries for the same offence and is still under investigation by the DoJ.
Dawkins freely admits you can't disprove the existance of a God or any other supnernatural being, no more than you can disprove the existance of pink unicorns, FSM or Santa Claus.
While I disagree with your view of him being 'callous and disrespectful' he is very forthright but I don't see how he could be any other way. While Dawkins is known in recent years for his atheism it should not be forgotten that he is also a brilliant scientist. It is his scientific mind and his rational thinking that has brought himself to conclude that the existance of a God is highly unlikely and that religion does not deserve the kid-glove treatment it's enjoyed for centuries.
My view is that tolerance is a virtue, but it's very hard to be tolerant of something you find utterly preposterous.
Dawkins regularly holds public debates with theologians so I would hardly call him intolerant of 'diversity of thinking'. Unless of course you belive that religion is a special case that is above criticism or ridicule.
I don't have figures to hand but you also have to factor in the cost of i7 motherboards which are typically double the cost of their AMD couterparts. DDR3 isn't cheap either.
Whatever the case, it looks like AMD have taken back the price/performance crown they've always been known for.
You're overlooking the fact that thousands of machines have been sold with a 'Vista Capable' tag which have turned out to be anything but.
The only solution to stop these machines running like a one-legged dog is to downgrade to XP. This woman is well withing her rights to sue Microsoft, who we know colluded with Intel et al to sell these machines when they knew they were unsuitable for the task.

Perhaps this one was a tongue-in-cheek submission facetiously posted for the TFH crowd.
That is the more likely explanation. There's also the possibility that the submitter was drunk.
i.e. most people outside of North America

My deepest apologies, should have tagged that NSFW, depending on who you work for of course.
Linus gives his verdict
This wouldn't have happened at Black Mesa.
Seriously, couldn't the marketing droids come up with a better name?
EQ(II) has had the option to betray your faction from the get go..
So what other "innovations" can we expect from Blizz in the years to come; player housing, guild halls?

Bull-fucking-shit.
I bet your life has been ruined by that constant whooshing noise above your head.

For me to finally uninstall Q3 would require Quake Live to give me (in no particular order) RA3, Threewave CTF, OSP, CPMA and Defrag. Then we'll talk.
It's more to do with the poorer quality, high-sulphur diesel fuel in America, though I believe that is changing.
Quotes please.
