And to that I say the same thing that I say to everyone claiming to have something which increases battery life by X-magical percent: Why isn't it EVERYWHERE yet?
Also I've never seen anything but incandescent supporters make that claim, any sources?
Except that even with the poor power factor if everyone switched to CFLs it'd still work out to be better in the long run.
Why is it that any time any sort of flaw, no matter how minor, pops up in CFLS people run screaming that it's a serious blow to the entire concept and we should all go back to candles and burning sticks because it's a failure but whenever someone points out any sort of flaw, no matter how serious, in incandescents and older tech people run screaming to defend the lack of perfection...
I've been using a run of the mill GE 100watt replacement CFL in my room for something on the order of 2-3 years now. It's a little dimmer than when it was new but it's still plenty bright enough and works fine.
If you notice almost every claim about piracy tends to be a claim that because of piracy the increase in profits over the previous was not as large as they expected.
I can't wait till someone gets the bright idea to try as an adult someone under the age of consent for child molestation because they masturbated in an empty room.
They'll need to install a revolving door onto the stand for all the times that poor kid'll need to get off and back on again.
Which is even more easily translatable to "It's less disruptive for a page to load comments over time while I'm reading through them than it is for me to need to wait a minute or two just on previewing/submitting something I've already typed".
Because I'd personally be more tolerant of pages taking a few seconds longer to load everyone's comments up than the usually 5-30 second delay on previewing and submitting my own comments.
Don't forget that they will very likely be tried as adults because they were fully capable of understanding the nature and consequences of their actions for something that is only illegal because they are NOT capable of doing exactly that.
Didn't the whole "eyes are like muscles" thing get proven wrong already? Staring at things too far away to read does not make them any easier to read over time, and staring at microscope slides has yet to do the same either.
I did not in any way suggest they were getting off on it, I said their only reason for doing it was the word of one other student that they knew hated her.
Now given my own personal experiences I would say they probably WERE enjoying both the exercise of power and the girl but that's pure bitter cynicism.
Meanwhile in the USA two people who forced a 13yo to strip and expose herself to them on nothing more than the word of one student who they knew hated her are not being tried for a sex offense while a 14yo girl who took sex pics of herself for her boyfriend IS.
Rest of the world: We don't get it either.
Stop giving a damn about anything with it's skeleton on the outside. I'm sure fire ants dislike having boiling vinegar dumped on them but I can't really bring myself to care much about anything that far removed from any sort of intelligent thought or attractive physical features.
Also does anyone else really hate that crabs have 8 legs, it's like they're basically armored spiders.
"inference - A judgement based on reasoning rather than on direct or explicit statement"
Making such a judgement about the emotional state of someone and cannot be guessed with a yes/no A/B answer is something that I've yet to see an AI do but most people don't have any trouble with.
You can make tests even shorter than that, bots don't have the ability to infer things yet so if you ask a question that requires a human to think about emotions or something similar it's pretty much a oneshot.
Given the shit-poor reception that everyone with an iphone gets here in central florida I'd say they already have that in the form of trying to get a call through clearly.
They don't need to give the go-ahead, even the long-dead zerotolerance.net has far too many stories like this archived and I personally was told to "get over it" and to stop antagonizing other students when someone tried to rape me in the locker room. Sadly that isn't exactly a unique occurence.
Until these people start getting held accountable for their actions, truly held accountable with full criminal system consequences, they're just going to keep on plowing ahead full speed.
From TFA: "Her assertion should not be misread to infer that she never broke school rules," the district said of Ms. Redding in a brief, "only that she was never caught."
^^^ They forced a 13 year old girl to strip to her underwear and then expose herself to them with nothing but their own suspicions and the word of a few random people to back them up and now claim that they were perfectly justified in doing so and that on top of that a spotless record means she's just as guilty as if they HAD caught her doing anything, just that they don't have anything on paper.
Everyone involved in making this decision, allowing it to go ahead, and participating in the search should be arrested and tried for as many sex crimes as they can fit into the trial. This is rape, there's no excusing or justifying it.
And people wonder why kids have such a hatred for authority figures and absolute lack of trust in them.

Also happens to be what costco/sams club had when I get them.
I'd rather have a nice crisp 640x480 picture than the amazingly noisy and poor quality X-Fuckabit cellphone camera.

I know a truly staggering number of people who buy games and then play a pirated copy.

I'd say you must be knew here for feeding the trolls but how the hell does one say that to a 3digit?

Yeah, I remember worrying if I had the hardware to run Doom when it came out... Get off my Parallax occlusion mapped lawn.

So now I can have two games that constantly refuse to run because they insist i'm still logged in after their own updater does it's job.
I have a little more faith in valve than I do GPG not to screw this up but it still sounds pretty heavy handed.
