    Yes, and you will. You're not allowed to play music. Period. You're supposed to avoid even accidentals or music from the background.

    It's not like this kind of thing isn't exactly what the FCC was put in place to do...

    Looks like they DID in fact use something similar. Someone else pointed to this specifically. (PDF warning)

    There's already technical means to describe loudness. I hope they decided to use something like that instead of trying to use lawyer-speak.

    Seems they need something like ReplayGain for broadcast...

    Action against a foreign power is just a teeny bit different than fiscal legislation, wouldn't you think?

    If she won't leave, and either doesn't (or pretends not to) understand commands, what else are you supposed to do? Spend 4 days developing some kind of rudimentary language bridge and debate the finer points?

    You don't even need to know english.

    A group of armed people in a uniform (that other people are deferring to) pointing to the door and shouting... you'd have to me a moron to miss the intention...

    Reminds me of the idea of walking up to a sleeping lion and slapping it's face.

  11. Re:send the mini-shuttle over there to wack it on North Korea's Satellite Is Out of Control · · Score: 1

    I was really thinking of the guidance/detonation systems malfunctioning or being damaged, to be honest. Eg, even if you managed to hit your target, it's not going to do much if the detonation system is hosed (and for a nuke it's not a simple fuse at all, but is a very controlled detonation)

  12. Re:Which they would have to provide evidence for on Guatemala Deports McAfee To the US · · Score: 2

    I think it more likely it was convenient for them to blame him for it.

    "Hey, we have this dead guy. We don't want to work. Hey, his neighbor told us to eat shit the other day... why don't we just throw it on him?"

    Clearly the server requires more struts. Also, more SRBs. Just because. It's KSP after all! That's how we do things!

    On the flip side, if you can't get a satellite to not die on the way up, what makes you think the nuke's systems will survive?

    KSP is FOR THE WIN.

  17. Re:Directly? Please clarify on Vector Vengeance: British Claim They Can Kill the Pixel Within Five Years · · Score: 1

    Mice do not use a grid. Maybe way back when when they were part of drafting tables. They report back changes in position, but there is no grid involved. Though it makes sense to place the cursor onto a grid using this.

    Touch interfaces, you've got me there.

    If by input hardware you exclusively mean scanners and cameras.

    It makes me want to go torrent it so I can figure out what the big deal is, if anything.

    No way in hell I'd go to pay just to satisfy that kind of curiosity.

    It's not the educational system. We get metric. (at least until the less intelligent forget it again due to disuse)

    It's all the lazy-ass companies who don't want to switch their shit over to metric that's holding us back.
