    No it means the building was built in the wrong place.

    Yes but did everyone go around calling it free? Probably not.

    Its not a fuss about paying for software, its a fuss about people saying its not quite as free as say the competition.

    Ah so here is a free car, but it is $30,000 for the engine.

    I can see that marketing campaign really take off.

    "also provides excellent development tools for coding, testing, debugging, and distribution for free along with your developer subscription ($99/yr)."

    Wtf is he smoking. They aren't free tools. They are $99/yr tools. He said it right there.

    Don't care to defend what you did say?

    I'm sorry. I assumed I was talking to an idiot so I was explaining how it all works very clearly.

    Most quake prone areas have a frequency in single digit years, not hundreds of years.
    Hell the bad areas can have quakes on a monthly or weekly basis.

    Humans don't cause quakes, we can only trigger them.
    The stress was there with or without the pumping, and that stress must be relieved.

  8. Re:Unfortunately for Arduino on New Arduino Due Brings More Power To the Table · · Score: 1

    Well you could run code on the bare metal and in that case it would function very similar to the Arduino. You could nearly make the code fairly compatible.
    Because that isn't the recommended way to operate it however, I think that is the biggest difference. Like running a x86 on the bare metal.

  9. Re:Unfortunately for Arduino on New Arduino Due Brings More Power To the Table · · Score: 1

    I think the difference in this context is microcontroller vs microprocessor.
    Microcontroller doesn't run a OS, a microprocessor does.

    On a Arduino you are running on bare metal. On the Pi you are running on Linux.

    Unfortunately modern medicine thwarts Darwin most of the time these days.

    That plus idiots often kill innocent bystanders, sometimes not themselves.
    That doesn't help Darwin at all. The innocent bystander could have a IQ of 150 and the idiot with a IQ of 70 kills them..

    I'm curious to see if they can cause a melt down - Iran that is.
    It would be wonderfully ironic. A tiny persecuted country humiliating a super power with a big ego.

    This might be a problem if the US wasn't doing it in return.

    If you are actively trying to sabotage someone else's infrastructure, you have to expect them to do it back.
    I'd put money on who started it.

    I have no sympathy for the US in this regard..

    Re-read their reply. It didn't explode (they still received telemetry from the engine).
    The debris seemed to be something else, maybe a small part being the engine, but the engine as a whole is more or less fine.

    I don't believe we (Australians) classify our diplomatic cables. They aren't that secret.p

    Plus he only published them. He did not leak them.

  15. Re:could be interesting on Assange Seeks To Sue Prime Minister Gillard For Defamation · · Score: 5, Informative

    In what country? Its certainly not illegal in Australia to leak classified *US* documents. Possibly illegal to leak Australian documents - I'm not sure about that.
    Just like if someone in the US leaked Iranian top secret documents, they'd probably get a handshake from the FBI not arrested.

    The US is not the world government. Just because they say it is top secret and illegal doesn't make it so and the rest of the world will rightly ignore them.

    MasterCard is only a example of how the remarks have caused damage.

    If Gillard made the comments but nothing came of them, you'd get a much smaller payout in a defamation case.
    But the MC bit proves the comments caused financial damage, not just damage to his character. = Bigger payout.

    Except with kids. Adults in a neighbourhood its overkill, but kids are more fragile and are far more likely to fall off by themselves.

    And when the adults don't wear their helmets in a neighbourhood, the kids will copy because clearly they aren't needed.
