Really depends on what you're using it for. HD intensive applications would make "green" drives a bad choice. I started going to green drives to save energy with my home server, which is used really for backups and media sharing. Just my wife and I using it. For sharing of documents and such, I'd think it would be worth trying in the environment discussed above.
I appreciate the humor there, but this just goes to show you there are some bat shit assholes out there willing to kill people. There's no fix for that unless we start profiling them and locking them up, which I don't think is a good idea. What ever happened to the idea of death being your fate? Your time comes when it comes? The majority of people believe in god in one form or another, many in the Christian god, so why not just preach what you believe and accept perhaps that's divine faith? Not that I believe that bullshit, but I do believe we are all gonnna die sometime. This is a real tragedy, and my heart goes out to the victims and their families. I would be devastated if this happened to someone I loved, but while a TSA- like presence at theaters may alleviate guilt of victims and families, it isn't going to bring the victims back or prevent anything like this from happening in the future. Lock down the theaters and crazy fucks like this will gun people down at Wal-Mart on black Friday.
I have an old counter argument to gun control: criminals won't just throw they're guns down if you ban them and violence may drop, but nothing dramatic.
Agree 200%: crazy people. They scare the shit out of me because they're unpredictable. Crazy white guys are the worst because our discriminating asses don't suspect them. Ted Bundy, that recent soldier who went on a spree, Colombine kids, Gasey: who saw that shit coming? Dahmer wasn't a suspect for the longest time because no one suspected him. He had an unprecedented MO with no apparent preference of victims. He was just bat shit crazy.
As a linux user, I'm offended this guy criticized them. I feel like he's speaking for me, perhaps the rest of us. For Christ's sake, boobs are what we feed our children with! Why is this sexist? Why does it matter? I think it's awesome, because I think boobies are awesome.
Many people do. What about cable or satellite subscribers? And if you aren't always on the hunt for a price promotion, TV is far more expensive than XBL. I'm glad I'm not the only one frustrated by this. Many times it isn't video games being advertised and it frustrates me to sift through so much shit to play a game.
Of course marijuana, now apparently alcohol, is the first drug many kids gets their hands on. It's the easiest to get! But then some kids start doing drugs with benzos and opioids because their live-in grandma takes them. I could say a neighbor kid I grew up with used canned whip cream as a gateway drug because he moved on to heroin.
I'm a little confused. If the consumer is responsible for what his room mate, kid, girlfriend, etc. does on his connection, why isn't the ISP responsible for what the consumer does? Yeah, yeah, I know "because the law says so" but what batshit logic is that? So this means if I want to pirate some software, movies, or music I can jump onto my neighbor's wifi and download it. Wow, do I feel dumb! Here I was thinking the law is supposed the punish the guy whodunit.
Would a decent foundation mitigate this? I can understand the asphalt compressing and making ruts, but what's underneath supporting it? As I live in a city where road construction never fucking ends, I see a lot clay, gravel, etc. get laid down before it's paved over. Since there are airports in hotter areas of the world with airports (remember, USA is not the only place on earth), could this be an isolated incident where poor engineering is to blame?
It's not if they give consent, which is often the case. It's a police tactic. Cop says: "I need you to put your hands on the wall so I can search you," and someone does as it sounds like they don't have a choice. If the cop said, "Would you put your hands on the wall so I can search you? You can tell me no, but by doing that you imply your consent to be search," then it wouldn't be as effective. My dad was a cop, did a lot of cyber crime investigation, and he would often ask a suspect he was simply interviewing to turn over potential evidence, say a computer, and they'd gladly give it to him. They could've easily said no. So it's not really a violation of rights, but ignorance of rights.
Working in healthcare, I've come across some sick fucks. Some are born that way, some just wake up that way one morning. Any one person's behavior doesn't surprise me anymore. Regardless of how one ends up going ape shit, eventually one of them will have a nuclear weapon at their disposal.
I use it, but not as often as I pin stuff. I usually search for apps because the scrolling programs list is more difficult than the one that exploded across the screen. But I typically use just a few apps which are pinned (or the equivalent): Windows Explorer, Firefox, Putty, Winamp, Notepad++. How often do I use it? Maybe once a day. I can see where Microsoft is coming from. In the case of my personal use, they're expanding what I use the most, but I still like what is going on now: the taskbar and Flip3D. But then, I'm also a user that likes functionality and I'd like to think functional-lovers are a dying breed. Many of the people out there think the iPhone is awesome, so every thing should be like the springboard and needs to be flashy at the sacrifice of functionality.
Sounds like a good plan for people in starving nations. Just need the means to setup an infringing website and boom! 3 hots and a cot, education, conjugal visits. America, fuck yeah!
I use a SSH tunnel home (putty), Firefox, and Notepad++ all from portable apps to do hobby work from my job. Albeit Notepad++ isn't an IDE, I can use the FTP plugin to edit stuff on projects I'm using. You could also use Emacs over the SSH. So then I also have Apache running so I can play with what I'm working on. Works well. That said, I only do minor tweaking and bug related fixes at work. I do the real time consuming stuff at home.
I agree. 8 years ago I made a whopping $6.88 an hour in retail. After a yeah I went up to $7.05. I don't think I'd catch up with these guys at that rate. Hell they make more than I made as an entry level IT tech. I'd have jumped to an apple store in a heartbeat even thought I dont use their stuff.
Anyone wonder if it's partly because this is an election year? I don't usually watch these heads on TV talk about their half-empty promises or any political accolades they take credit for, but if he hasn't done it already, how long until Obama starts blasting about fuel prices?
My point is simply if I had to choose between homicidal people dying and their victims dying, I'd go with the homicidal people. But hey, if you want to lay down for them, I'll send them your way.
I'm going to assume as they're expressing their disagreements with violence, they see it's the only effective solution for their problems. In short, they'd probably rather be dealt with in a violent manner. Look at the bin Laden raid. He knew he was caught by guys who don't fuck around, but he grabbed a gun and used some lady as a shield. He got what he wanted.

...to Cydia where sympathy for Apple's banhammer is found in the dictionary between shit and syphilis.
Duhhhhh now we need an even bigger, costlier particle accelerator!

Can we adapt this tech to my TV for when my wife casually walks between me and the screen while I'm playing Call of Duty?
We aren't making any money, but we don't need no stinkin' money!

I'm not a chemist, but isn't hydrogen pretty freaking flammable? Makes a nice incendiary weapon.

Again, assuming she even considered the copyright. A normal person? How naive. A lot of people don't know about DMCA, how it works, or what it's for.
