If you analyze the dump in WinDbg it does often blame a driver. And even if it doesn't you can work out which driver is causing the problem by disabling them and seeing if it goes away.
I've actually had my Macbook Pro freeze more times in the last year than my Windows machine. In fact, it even hung once when I closed the lid and tried to fry itself with the backlight.
You know you've got an unpleasant personality when computers try to kill themselves rather than work with you.
It won't be back up. If it does depict the five interlocking rings as the summary states then the IOC will aggressively attack it as infringing. The IOC does not let five interlocking rings fly, no matter the context. Ever. This will be no different. It has nothing to do with the Tibet/China angel - it's purely about the five interlocking rings. Had the video not had that imagery, I'm certain it'd be fine (from the IOC standpoint, at least).
But parody is protected under the First Amendment and is a fair use defense to copyright infringement. There's clearly an issue if the procedure is to pull the video first and only then allow people to appeal - that's close to prior restraint.
I think Myopia is probably caused by too much time spent reading as a child. There've been experiments with chickens. If you raise them in a small box, their eyes calibrate themselves so their focal far point is the end of the box. So it's possible that smart kids get smart from reading but it also gives them myopia. Not that it matters, since vision can be corrected with spectacles or contact lenses.
Yeah, but that didn't matter DirectX was designed by Microsoft people who spent their lives in meetings with games companies, probably bringing along Microsoft sales guys to offer their bosses incentives to develop for the new API. Microsoft could have shipped a header file and some libraries and most companies making Dos games would have switched over. In fact, that's pretty much what they did.
Sure, but that does nothing to help driver development. They still need to support all the deprecated features if the application requests them (most likely for a very long time to come as well), and driver quality is one of the major problems with OGL right now.
The "old" GL3 was also supposed to include interoperability with GL2 mind. But it would not do it by layering yet more stuff on top of the old, which I can't imagine will do driver quality any favours.
One of the big steps in DirectX 10 was that this is not the case - there is no legacy code in the driver, though there is a legacy layer above the drivers so that DirectX 8 and 9 games still run.
Indeed. But preferably games should be possible to play without Wine. Hopefully as Linux, and other OSes, continue to get better and become more "newbie" friendly; it will become interesting for more companies to invest in Linux versions of their games.
Maybe the way the world works is that Microsoft produces the standards and other people implement them.
They were the largest party though. Their opponents like Schleicher planned to abolish parliament and form a grand coalition of all the non Nazi Parties (and the left wing of the Nazi party) to keep them out of power.
chleicher hoped to attain a majority in the Reichstag by forming a so-called Querfront, meaning "cross-front," whereby he would unify Germany's fractious special interests around a non-parliamentary, authoritarian but participatory regime. Thus, he reached out to the Social Democratic labour unions, the Christian labour unions and the more left-wing branch of the NSDAP or Nazis, led by Gregor Strasser. Strasser, however, was already losing the internal power struggle with Hitler.
Although Schleicher made some initial progress, he was rebuffed by both sides. Meanwhile, the ousted Papen now had Hindenburg's ear, because the latter was beginning to have misgivings about Schleicher's "cryptoparliamentarianism" and willingness to work with the SPD, which the old President despised. Papen was urging the aged President to appoint Hitler as Chancellor in a coalition with the Nationalist DNVP, or Deutschenationale Volkspartei (German National People's Party) who, together with Papen, would supposedly be in a position to moderate Nazi excesses. Unbeknownst to Schleicher, Papen was holding secret meetings with both Hitler and Hindenburg, who then refused Schleicher's request for emergency powers and another dissolution of the Reichstag. The President dismissed Schleicher, calling Hitler into power on 30 January 1933.
In many ways it makes you wonder what would have happened if the CIA had been around. Presumably they would have backed anyone but the Nazis or Communists, even dubious types like Schleicher.
The fact of the matter was that the democracy was doomed - either it would be replaced by Schleicher's authoritarian grand coalition or by Hitler as dictator. And if the Nazis had crushed the Communists, they would have taken over and set up a Communist dictatorship.
6. What function does "Internet eugenics," or natural selection, serve within the sphere of modern human civilization? Do we also need eugenics outside of the cyber world?
Kate (as mentioned in the NYT article) suggests that the death of the trolling scene on Livejournal effectively lowered the standard of human beings which contribute content on the service. She describes communities she once valued being "filled with fucking furries" and "noone even says anything to them anymore". I contend that trolling is the chief moral arbiter of the Internet. I see little difference between the methods performed by trolls on the Internet when they ruin the lives of furries and pedophiles and the methods used by Moses when he ordered the idol worshippers killed. Martin Luther contended in his tract "On the Jews and Their Lies" that if Moses were alive today he'd be busy burning synagogues. I'm inclined to agree; the only thing keeping us deriding furries on the Internet instead of going to their furry conventions and rapidly exterminating them is the Jewish influence upon society.
Just like how the loss of troll influence upon the Livejournal community resulted in a lower quality of human inhabiting the site, the lack of memetic selection upon Western civilization is resulting in a drastically lower quality of human being infesting it. For Western values to survive, those who attack them must be exterminated. We should start with the furries, and move to the media moguls who are glorifying prostitution and drug use.
Upon some timeline Protestants are going to have to stand up and admit that it is their belief system that made their nations so great, and that without their persistent influence they will degrade into the third world shitholes from which they began.
Ah yes. The famous anti-pacifism rant Orwell published at the beginning of World War II. The one that keeps making the rounds on conservative blogs, being posted by idiots like you who have not read a letter of Orwell's other work. By posting this, you give yourself away as yet another stupid parrot.
To reiterate what someone else already posted: Orwell retracted that position. Which you would have known, if you had actually read his collected essays.
It really pains me to see how reactionary scum like you try to hide behind one of the most honest men the twentieth century gave us, without giving his memory even the respect to actually read his work. Then again, I take solace in the fact that Orwell also gives plenty of tools to identify blackshirt-supporting, Daily Mail-reading closet fascists like you.

Right, because Orwell would love people who call their opponents "blackshirt-supporting, Daily Mail-reading closet fascists like you"
We are told that it is only people's objective actions that matter, and their subjective feelings are of no importance. Thus pacifists, by obstructing the war effort, are 'objectively' aiding the Nazis; and therefore the fact that they may be personally hostile to Fascism is irrelevant. I have been guilty of saying this myself more than once. The same argument is applied to Trotskyism. Trotskyists are often credited, at any rate by Communists, with being active and conscious agents of Hitler; but when you point out the many and obvious reasons why this is unlikely to be true, the 'objectively' line of talk is brought forward again. To criticize the Soviet Union helps Hitler: therefore 'Trotskyism is Fascism'. And when this has been established, the accusation of conscious treachery is usually repeated.
This is not only dishonest; it also carries a severe penalty with it. If you disregard people's motives, it becomes much harder to foresee their actions. For there are occasions when even the most misguided person can see the results of what he is doing. Here is a crude but quite possible illustration. A pacifist is working in some job which gives him access to important military information, and is approached by a German secret agent. In those circumstances his subjective feelings do make a difference. If he is subjectively pro-Nazi he will sell his country, and if he isn't, he won't. And situations essentially similar though less dramatic are constantly arising.
In my opinion a few pacifists are inwardly pro-Nazi, and extremist left-wing parties will inevitably contain Fascist spies. The important thing is to discover which individuals are honest and which are not, and the usual blanket accusation merely makes this more difficult. The atmosphere of hatred in which controversy is conducted blinds people to considerations of this kind. To admit that an opponent might be both honest and intelligent is felt to be intolerable. It is more immediately satisfying to shout that he is a fool or a scoundrel, or both, than to find out what he is really like. It is this habit of mind, among other things, that has made political prediction in our time so remarkably unsuccessful.

He regretted the use of the word "Objectively". I can see why, it's out of character for him. That doesn't detract from the fact tha WWII English Pacifists were harming the war effort against the Nazis, whatever their subjective feelings.

If you analyze the dump in WinDbg it does often blame a driver. And even if it doesn't you can work out which driver is causing the problem by disabling them and seeing if it goes away.
I've actually had my Macbook Pro freeze more times in the last year than my Windows machine. In fact, it even hung once when I closed the lid and tried to fry itself with the backlight.
You know you've got an unpleasant personality when computers try to kill themselves rather than work with you.
And you feel that this is one of those instances?
Someone in the crowd might have been able to read the stacktrace and should out "the problem is with driver x".
That's technically a Microsoft thing....

30% would seem a bit high, though. How often do catastrophic changes occur?
Depends. If your drunk and/or drugged up to your eyeballs all the time, pretty frequently.
Fuck, I think I can hear sirens. Got to go.
What 3D API does Portal use?
Apple might swear allegiance to DirectX. Then Macs would be able to run games for the XBox/PC.
Yeah, but that didn't matter DirectX was designed by Microsoft people who spent their lives in meetings with games companies, probably bringing along Microsoft sales guys to offer their bosses incentives to develop for the new API. Microsoft could have shipped a header file and some libraries and most companies making Dos games would have switched over. In fact, that's pretty much what they did.
Do you feel the need to make a similar disclaimer every time you take a dump?
He should do, given Autodesk's reputation for producing shit.
Sorry Ian, just having a larrrf.
