Did you actually read TFA? He went to Saipan for the express purpose of making a deal...it wasn't like he went on a vacation, landed on US soil and was immediately arrested, they caught him on US soil engaging in the crime.
Moral of this comment: RTFA.(Though I guess the summary is partially incorrect in that regard, it wasn't "entirely from China" if he traveled to Saipan to sell stuff)
Not to mention waste.... Produce is always a gamble for grocery stores because while they may make a lot of money on the peaches they sell, they lose on the one's that they don't.
I love comments like this, the amount of delusion you are under is just staggering. First and foremost, the media DID cover the 20,000 dead and many more displaced due the tsunami, it was all over the news. Secondly, the nuclear situation is ongoing, and, I know you don't realize this so I feel it's my duty to teach you: NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU FEEL ABOUT THE 20,000 DEAD, NO MATTER HOW MUCH MEDIA COVERAGE THERE IS, THEY AREN'T COMING BACK.
Comments like these always make me laugh, as if somehow constantly feeling bad about the past can somehow change it? You cannot revive those people, but meanwhile Japan still needs power, the families of the victims still need power. Making people feel bad about things they can do nothing about isn't even remotely productive.
You are forgetting another obvious candidate, Leisure Suit Larry. After all he did have an adventure in the land of the lounge lizards. I for one would welcome a lizard classified as Basiliscus Lafferi.
Say what you want about Apple, one thing you cannot (rationally) debate is that their claimed battery life is among the most accurate in the industry. Multiple reviews from multiple sources have basically all confirmed that Apple's battery life estimates are pretty accurate. Not saying that Sony's aren't accurate, but if you are going to hate, at least hate with facts instead of just making shit up.
Actually, funding for a lot of these types of grants is drying up, this kind of spending has been in the Republican bullseye for a long time, and has suffered during recent budget "crises" due to Republicans picking these kinds of grants specifically to harp on(despite the fact that they make up less than 3% of the overall budget, and probably are one of the few effective government programs...) Basically they are trying to distract people from the fact that Republicans are unwilling to make real cuts and as an added bonus, are focusing on programs that primarily benefit their "enemies" (i.e. anyone who isn't either uber-rich or an uneducated white). Class act those Republicans.
Did you read the fucking comment, or are you just mouthing off to feel self-righteous, how many "all you can drink" courses are there in the US? Go on, I can wait...moron.
one of the more popular places in Tokyo only charges 5,000 yen(about $50) per person for parties of 2 or more, complete with an all-you-can drink(alcohol, not that soft drink crap they have in the US:P). Doesn't sound very cheap, but there aren't a lot of places you can get an all-you-can-drink with food for less than 5,000 yen. Just FYI, you get fried whale, whale sashimi, whale soup, and some udon noodles for your cash. I actually had it before, not bad.
Actually, I think Adventure was BETTER without the manual(never had it, still love that game to this day). That game's mechanics were complex enough that you couldn't figure it out completely in a few minutes, but simple enough that you could basically figure the whole game out in an afternoon of trial and error. It was that sense of well....adventure that made that game so great.
I guess the "profit" for that sale really depends on the amount of time put into it(and how valuable you consider your time). While the games did retail for $50-$80 a pop, most snes games nowadays can be found at garage sales/flea markets/online auctions for less than $10. If you use that as your yardstick, the person is probably "making" at least $5k(while your Super Mario Worlds go for $10, the rare games are worth many times what the original asking price was, so you have to factor that in). However there is a considerable time investment necessary to find each game, ascertain it is working, catalog it etc. We are talking a couple hundred hours easily. You spend 200 hours plus tie up a lot of your money to make $5k, it doesn't seem so profitable anymore.
You are aware of what minification is, right? Having nicely formatted javascript also means that you waste a lot of bandwidth sending all that format information that 99.99999999% of users will never look at. There are reverse-minification tools out there if you really want to look at the code.
Because somehow a bunch of domain-specific javascript code is really going to be useful? Also, you cannot change the code on the server(sort of, if you intercept calls at the browser level you could), changing the code is incredibly pointless. The FSF basically just wants to put an additional burden on these sites for 0 benefit. IE they are being annoying asshats. Par for the course really, there are much more important things to worry about than whether or not I have the freedom to change the style of a jquery dialog box on a government site.
As long as the OP is not doing work for local customers(i.e. only contracting out to people in his home country) and not claiming residence or getting any sort of benefit from the host country they shouldn't have any legal issues with "working" Step over any of those boundaries though....
Huh? That statement makes no sense. They started out in 2007, when WoW was expanding rapidly and thus may have based a lot of the games mechanics on WoW. However WoWs sudden contraction over the past year should definitely give them cause to re-evaluate the direction Titan is going.
I wonder if they are as idiotic as a lot of US intelligence agencies and still insist on using Windows everywhere. The PLA really should send Microsoft a nice fruit basket thanking them for all the easily-gathered intelligence that Microsoft's combination of shitty coding and massive lobbying efforts have enabled.
Yup, Greenpeace, aka a bunch of whiny rich kids who are so desperate to have something to scream about in their otherwise sheltered lives, is doing a huge disservice to the environmental movement as a whole. Somewhat ironic that a lot of the rich kids are benefitting off of the destruction of the environment, but critical thinking isn't really their strong suit.
By doing things like this. Over the past couple of years Yahoo has reaped a lot of profit from it's overseas operations, esp. Yahoo! Japan(which is only 40% owned by Yahoo, but still), where they provide more than just search, they act as an ISP and provide other data services. The insanely strong yen has meant that over the past couple years the profit from Yahoo Japan when measured in USD has been incredibly high, and they obviously have some smart traders working for them as they foresaw the rapid weakening of the yen and made a huge profit off of it.
Um, no, not really. While Seagate doesn't explain their caching strategy, my guess is that unlike things like bcache, which cache at the block level, the seagate probably caches at the logical file level, which would explain why it's Windows only, they only implemented their algorithm for NTFS. My guess is they broke with tradition and implemented a disk that is aware of the logical layout of the files on it, instead of one that simply manages blocks(with file metadata just being another one of those blocks)
File level caching has a lot of advantages, for starters there tend to be a lot fewer blocks than their are files, meaning that the overhead imposed by the caching algorithm is a lot lower(flashcache for instance uses 500 megs of memory per TB of storage IIRC). Furthermore, by caching at the file level you can apply heuristic rules like not caching movie or music files, where performance is very unlikely to be critical etc.
Of course this all comes at a cost, having the disk actually know about the logical layout of the file system does break a lot of conventions and introduces a large # of potential issues....Trying to upgrade the file system on one of these things is probably not very pretty.

Here is how you can download a copy of the js code, ready, this is very complicated:
curl http://whatever.com/scriptyouwant.js > scriptyouwant.js
Wow, that was hard, wasn't it? It's shit like this that ensures I will never ever donate to the FSF. Morons.

Well, after reviewing the research one question still remains unanswered, did he at least get a good spot in the parking lot?
Supplies...including tacos?
One of the top hits for my name is a page about banging lusty whores.... Not sure if I should be happy or upset about that one.
Yeah, I meant the other way around, nice catch.
