The people I know who hate subtitles don't hate them because of reading... there are two reasons that I've seen:
1. If they understand the spoken language, it's distracting. Most of us see text, and the eye is drawn to it to read. This hampers immersion. 2. If they don't understand it, they spend time reading the subtitle and less time watching what is actually going on. This hampers immersion.
The commonality between both of these: It hampers immersion.
Rsync may tally up a list of files before it operates, but said files are not "locked" at all. Files at the start of the operation can be completely 'outdated' by the time it nears the end.
Well, I Imagine that it would work, but you have to figure out the logistics of bending a rhino. Nevermind the cryogenics - after all, you don't want to be freezing endangered critters without a restoration plan eh?
What’s New? The Beta 1 release announcement lists only 4 major new features, which seems a little underwhelming. These are:
A reworked notifications area;
Window tiling;
Webkit in konqueror;
Stability improvements.
One of the big upgrades that was scheduled for KDE SC 4.5 was porting the PIM (ie. kmail, korganizer, kaddressbook) applications to the Akonadi framework. Unfortunately, that process won’t be completed in time for 4.5.0, and will be delayed until 4.5.1. This is a little disappointing given that Akonadi has been full of promise for quite some time, with no real user visible outcomes. It would have been nice to see what Akonadi will bring to the party. However, it’s better to wait until all the kinks are ironed out. But unfortunately, it leaves the KDE 4.5 feature cupboard a little bare.
That being said, there are a whole bunch of little improvements that I’ll talk about later on in this article.
My phone has a nice patch available - a whitelist. If you aren't on my contacts list, it automatically goes to voicemail. This can be temporarily disabled.
I have a similar patch installed, and that's simply a blocker-contact (add a number, and it never rings or notifies about calls from that number) as too many unknown contacts legitimately call me.
Oh yea, of course. But I (personally, this/is/ opinion) think that failing to test for something is a much lesser offense than knowingly using bad materials because of cost.
They are still "guilty" - perhaps of negligence, but it's not (an assumption) like they knowingly poisoned people.
It's all a matter of degree. It happened, but who's at fault for what and how much is still in the air.
We don't know where all the components come from though. Perhaps the sand/whatever itself was contaminated, or one of the other additives. Or someone was just a dumbass and put cadmium in it for some reason.
How far down the rabbit hole do you go though? That's the harder question to answer.
T1 supplier: it's raw material, use it for whatever. T2 supplier: it's been processed somewhat. don't use it for foodstuffs etc. T3 supplier: here's this stuff we found cheap. T4 supplier: here's this stuff mixed with other stuff we found sorta cheap. T5 supplier: here's this glass-making stuff. Cup-maker: wtf, cadmium? -or- Cup-maker: herp-derp lets toss some cadmium in there
Sure. the blame may be at the end of the chain, but it might not either. It could be anywhere along the line. Somewhere, someone made a mistake... but was it an honest one?

Oh don't worry, they won't be numb for very long...

Indeed. After reading the posed questions, my answer is "suck it the fuck up already and start migrating into the current century"
That's a rough way to put it, but it gets the point across.
Rsync may tally up a list of files before it operates, but said files are not "locked" at all. Files at the start of the operation can be completely 'outdated' by the time it nears the end.
The "safest" way to run any kind of backup is to do it with the server offline. In such cases there is -zero- risk of state inconsistencies.
Suck it up. If it's that critical that you can't take it down, well you should have implemented failover redundancy already.

I (and many others) don't trust hard drives _at_all_ - let alone when you move them. This is learned behavior...
Someone who knows how the skits actually run, and doesn't just throw the whole of Holy Grail into a blender and pick random quotes?
Or scrotum.
Just putting it out there. The word.
What's a hipocrate? A big box of short hippos?
That's a cashew? I thought it was a fireball thing.
That's the plasma widget thing. Doesn't bug me at all.
The ? What?
No, it won't be a "lightweight version of Linux".
It will be a lightweight version of Ubuntu.
Unless they are going to roll their own kernel fork, that is.

Amazingly, this profit-increasing measure also reduces environmental footprint.
Less fuel burned equates to less waste released back into the environment.
It may not be a large measure, but at least it's a positive one. Hell, most people would be happy with 0 (as opposed to /harm/)
I don't know. Perhaps you should take it up with your government then?
Extradition treaty .
You're right. They asked for it, and are (trying to, probably will it seems) get the jurisdiction. Case is not closed.
While the unfortunate truth is more likely that they simply wish to "discourage" others from looking into said servers without authorization.
The issue is the "... charges of hacking into NASA and Pentagon computers in search of information on UFOs.".
His reasons don't matter. He didn't have authorization to access those resources. Period.
If you genuinely don't know what that means, it's an idiom meaning "nothing to do".
If you are just being silly... shame on you.
Hell, I'd pay for them to offer this as a service. I'd rather be asleep for 10 hours than have dick to do.
Imagine if you sounded just like that. That would be hell.
Hi, I'm calling from... the hospital, your mother is sick. Shit.
