"Or maybe the editors just like to see the ants fight after they shake up the bottle."
Bingo.
That's why they love tacking on some ID/Creationism tagline for basically any biology article, even if its not mentioned in TFA. Granted its not needed, or relevent. But I must admit to a guilty pleasure of seeing walls of flame arise.
Political correctness is bad enough, political correctness without thinking about it is downright scary. George Carlin said it best:
"I think mankind ought to be human kind, but they take it too far, they take themselves too seriously, they exaggerate. They want me to call that thing in the street a personhole cover. I think that's taking it a little bit too far. What would you call a lady's man, a person's person? That would make a He-man an It-person. Little kids would be afraid of the boogieperson. They'd look up in the sky and see the person in the moon. Guys would say come back here and fight like a person. And we'd all sing "for it's a jolly good person." That's the kind of thing you would hear on late-night with David Letterperson. You know what I mean? So...so I think it's an exaggeration and I like to piss off any group that take's itself a little bit too seriously."
Well, I disagree about writable BR disks not being necessary. 4.7GB (actually around 4.35GB) disks were nice for movies, or half a season of TV shows. But the DL disks were even better, could rip an entire season from my DVDs to to one disk in DivX format and play it on my DivX player. Now, if they come out with a BR divx player, it might be possible to get all seasons of a show on one disk. That right there is worth it to me.
(Or porn, or both. Just don't mix the two and forget about it.)
I can't take this anymore, in a few years, after I've done some governemtn research, I'm running for mayor of my town. And I'm going to keep trying, and if I get elected I'll try to slowly get a better position of power. Very few people agree with enough of the things I stand for, so I see no alternative.
For a little while I thought we were moving in the right direction, uncensored comedy central on certain nights, and swearing during primetime on TNT (swearing in both cases). I guess not.
There's no actual nudity in the clip anyway, yet we get to watch Saving Private Ryan uncensored on a broadcast network. HUH?
I'm very surprised to hear this, but not releieved. This is a big turning point. DRM-on-chip is about to be mass introduced (not like smaller releases that IBM or HP did on only certain models of computer) and we should make it clear that DRM should be optional for systems. If people don't pay attention, the features of these chips will be slowly activated in future revisions.
Being an upstanding citizen and reporting errors like this no longer welcome by those in power, apparently. It happens in more than just the governemnt. An example that hit close to home for me was at my own college. The Northeastern News reported a little while ago that the president and vp of the student governemtn (SGA) had reported a leak of information on the computer system regarding student information like grades, social security numbers, and so on. Instead of being thanked for their information, they were accused to taking that information and were charged by the school mediation people, and both lost their elected positions.
They both learned a sad lesson that day, if you want to stay out of trouble, don't help anybody.
Its definately for PR. But its meant to be something most people have dealt with. Just about every American can relate "A" with doing a good job, "C" with barely passying, and "F" with, "what the hell is wrong with you?"
And besides, the government *is* accountable to someone: its citizens, and we need to be reminded of that as of late.
I've had no less than 10 laptops, only 1 had *1* dead pixel, and that was a 2 year old model that I got from eBay. People should either demand a better product, or a reduced rate. Afterall, that's how CPU manufacturing works. If there's a certain percentage of failure on that CPU, they knock down the frequency and sell it for less.
Speaking as a Verizon customer (Computer Engineering graduate) I can say we're not all idiots. However I was amazed that to find that I could set up an SMTP server (on port 25) for my own use (I use it to send myself emails from my motion activated security camera). If its that incredibly easy to do, I'm not surpised anymore that there's so many zombies out there. And I'd gladly go through a few extra steps if they'd kill such abuses.
Just like throwing contraband out of a moving car. Thing is, its a little trickier than that, because...you don't know what was there to delete in the first place.
The thing that's making them jump to conclusions is the fact that its one of those programs that rewrites random data many times so that its unrecoverable. Otherwise, the default for windows is for the file system to relist the space as free, without actually deleting it. The file only becomes unrecoverable on the rewrite.
Speaking of games: What surprises me is the apparent lack of conversation about the PSP. People have been able to do things to the origonal firmware, and then Sony released a newer firmware that would break all those hacks. That's certainly no good for those using it.

"I think we'll see episodes of quality similar to the resurrected Family Guy shows."
That's definately a lofty goal. I've laughed at some of those episodes harder than I did for the ones in the first 3 seasons.

Well, that's what you get for watching Backdraft on this thing.

Isn't this just anothery iteration of, "people abuse technology?"
Though if you're setting up a DNS server, you should have a fair amount of expertise on how those abuses can arise and limit the possibility.
Sure, physical CDs still have a market, I think they'll be useful for quite a while for boxed software products.
Remember when Norton was selling software on Zip disks? I still chuckle at that.
Now as for music CDs, those may be heading for a downward trend.

I don't know, I don't think I want the soldiers eating thousands of identical white pills.
And besides, think of all those poor gosts of dead family members that the military would be forced to consume.

I know this sounds stupid, and counterintuitive, but the world would be a better place if people cared less.
