On a similar note, I once saw a utility that, if unregistered, would let you use everything in it, the only catch being that all of the fonts in the tool switched to Comic Sans.
My driving to work in the morning is "potentially" dangerous. But how likely is it to be dangerous? Not very. Which is why it would be silly of me to act as though I'm bravely risking life and limb just by leaving the house.
Likewise the chance of a domestic disturbance proving deadly is highly unlikely. There are 765,000 sworn law enforcement officers in the US. In 2012, a grand total of 12 of them died after being attacked on the job.
The overwhelming majority of cops are in no more danger on a given day than any other member of the public. The "we face life or death decisions every minute we're on patrol" bullshit is part of the military occupation mentality that's destroying police crediblity in this country.
And we have no idea how rare bad shoots are, as law enforcement groups routinely prevent any attempts to collect statistics on that subject.
It's getting the same coverage that a casting change in Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or any other long running fantasy series would get.
I left the TV on when I fell asleep, so I was confused when I woke up from my nap to discover Tyler Perry talking about The Lord of the Rings on the Daily Show. If I was that rich I would just buy a really Wicked Harley Davidson.
It's going up because your ISP bill is paying for things like WatchESPN where it's behind a paywall but people don't notice that because the subscription is at the ISP level instead of the end user level.
That's the future: the content provider only let you into the site if your ISP "subscribes" to the site. As less and let mainstream content is available on the open internet, there will be less and less demand for "real" internet access.
If the threat is that all the commercial enterprises are going to vanish from the internet and we're going to end up back in a time when the internet was for enthusiasts generating and trading information and content among each other without having to monetize absolutely every fucking page load, then by all means -- I'm on board.
Or you will be on board until you can't find a full service ISP anymore because with only the enthusiasts on board, there's not enough of a market for open internet to keep broadband providers. Everyone who isn't attached to a university or willing to shell out hundreds of dollars a month is gonna get forced back into an AOL style walled garden were the provider can collect payment up front and then divy it out to the providers in a cable TV style system.
The Secure Remote Password protocol has been out for more than a decade now. Sites shouldn't even be storing hashed/salted passwords by this point. They should never even have possession of the actual password on the server side.
There' are a lot of Mormons of Idaho, yes, but it's nowhere near comparable to Utah. Utah is 58% Mormon, Idaho is 23% Mormon. While that 23% may be happy being lumped in with Utah, the other 77% of the state is not.
This assumes people from different parts of the country are interchangable and are going to be happy no matter how you group them. The problem is that isn't the case; you think things are politically polarized now, a plan like this would be even worse.
You think the people in Highway are going to be happy being governed by politicians in Oregon that doesn't really care what's going on in a set of islands hundreds of miles away because they massively outnumber them don't need their votes anyways? You think the people in Montana and Idaho are gonna be happy being controlled by the busybody Mormons in Utah? And Shiprock is probably going to have an actual shooting war when Lubbock and Abilene figure out that Austin is going to dominate them electorally.
Han Solo, played by Ford, time traveling into the past to team up with his younger self, played by Nathan Fillion, to hunt down the entire prequel cast, making an alternate timeline where none of the prequels actually occured.
Yes, and usually the conditions include not showing the car getting wrecked in a crash, which is why Burnout and GTA type games all have to use phony cars.
Yes, but their "activism" doesn't extend beyond anyone they don't have a direct personal connection too. Look at their video: Schwartz, Assange, Manning. Of all the cases of people being tyrannized by the law enforcement system in this country (many far worse then Aaron Schwartz), we're supposedly believe those are the three that cross the line? Or just the only three Anonymous actually cares about?
And what exactly is the goal of this effort? Name one specific reform Anonymous wants to see implemented that would improve the situation? Or is this just Kony2013; get a lot of news for a few weeks and then move on to whatever the next cause celeb is and forget all about this one even though nothing has really changed?
This is typical of Anonymous's "hacktivism". The problems with federal prosecutor over reach has been a problem for decades, but Anonymous didn't care at all about it until it impacted one of their own. And even now they're focussed purely on retaliating over someone who can't be helped rather than trying to get publicity for the thousands of other (mostly poor and minority) people out there right now being victimized just the same way.
And to top it all off, the organization they decide to attack is the USSC, one of the few parts of the government that actually been an ally on this issue (for example, by criticizing the way drug sentencing is biased against minorities).

Most people don't sit behind a computer terminal as a job. Is the work of being a cop more dangerous that, say, a miner?
Sorry, the 12 was the 2013 number. For 2012, it was 63.

My experience has been that nVidia does better drivers, but ATI does more reliable hardware.
I always buy ATI boards, because you can patch drivers.
I've always wanted a GTA style Cowboy Beebop game.

So in order to avoid getting sued, you're filtering candidates in a way that SCOTUS has already ruled is grounds for a discrimination suit?
Griggs v. Duke Power Co.
Is it actually eight cores, or are they counting the hyperthreads as seperate cores the way Windows does?
Sorry, I meant Hawaii, but for some reason my brain was going faster then I could type.

No, there's not.
Utah is 58% Mormon
Idaho is 23% Mormon

It's named after former MIT mineralogist Roger Burns.
