I quite like it when it's obvious that the writers came up with a backstory for a character, but they don't spend the time to actually show it on screen. When the depth is hinted at, it can be more engaging than if everything were spelled out for you. Movies, being so short, have to pack in the interesting bits. As such, they tend to be much more intense. IMO, it's not something that could be called better or worse, just different.
Magnetism is an analog property used to store digital information. A bit can be wiped so that a standard detector would read it as a zero, but the bit may be legible by a more sensitive detector.
For instance, say that anything above "0.5" (half of the full possible theoretical strength of the magnetic field there) is a 1, and anything below is a 0. Maybe, the drive would actually write "0.9", which would be correctly interpreted as 1. If that number was blanked, maybe it becomes "0.3"....low enough to be a 0, but maybe another detector could tell the difference and know what the original value was.
It's like a computer program....at the top of the document, they have "macros" defining what they call "the site" "the user" etc. Because of that and other reasons, words start meaning things that they might not normally. That makes it much more difficult to read, of course.
It tends to block the energy from reaching the ground, since it's easier for a portion of the energy absorbed by particulate to radiate back out into space.
Pffft, Perl is perfectly good for anything that needs string manipulation and such. You shouldn't ignore new languages that come along, but neither should you ignore old ones that get the job done perfectly well.
The first one was a movie reference about the "sysadmin"-type characters getting laid off; completely germane to the topic. The next was the logical response. The take-a-penny thing was just a reiteration of the first post, and frankly, it wasn't that funny.
Given a certain group and a certain metric, 50% of that group will be "above average" and 50% will be "below average". The median value may not be anything near the mean value.
250GB per month is roughly 100KB/s constant data transfer over the course of the entire month. Most MMOs use significantly less bandwidth than that, so that won't be a problem. Streaming is still a download...I don't see how it could *not* count in that limit...
Ummm....hardware has higher failure rates at higher temperatures. Plus downtime costs involved in having their servers unavailable during said downtime (Which *WILL* occur with greater frequency given a higher temperature)
The game's art was interesting, but you get the same style in, for instance, Warcraft 3. And although WoW may have a great storyline, I never got to see it...there were too many tedious "Kill this many x and bring the skins to y" quests in the way. Saying someone is boring because they dislike the grind? Not that cool, dude. When I play a game (especially with friends), I want something interesting to do, not something repetitive and so directly rules-based. Each to their own, of course...
Even assholes can produce something of significance. I fail to see why someone who isn't the original creator of a work should continue to have the sole use of that work, and it seems that various other/.ers agree with me.
You do it as a job, fine. If copyright is someday struck down for artistic works, there just won't be any more commercial artists. Only the artists that do it for the love of the art will still be around, and the internet will be there to help them distribute their work to as large of an audience as they can. I know you have a family to support, and there are thousands or millions of people like you. But that seems to be one of the prices of large-scale societal change.
There's no way to recover the missing passphrase from a PGP-encrypted partition, Linux or not. When PGP encrypts data, it uses the passphrase as the parameter to generate an encryption key, which is used to modify the data in a way unique to that key. The key is never stored on the drive, and neither is the passphrase.

pfffffft, you can't program in a markup language!

Really? No movies with good stories? Citizen Kane? The Lord of the Rings?

It loses in court and EULAs die and "they" come up with something even worse.

He changed the Reboot_on_Win2k=1 option to 0, obviously.

Why? What have you got against blue women?
....in a bell curve, anyhow.

Or they could cap the service and sell "overages" at a strongly inflated rate. That sounds more likely to me than just sitting back on their laurels.

ATI hardware support has gotten much better than it used to be. In fact, my next hardware upgrade is going to include an ATI card rather than NVidia.
