That would be all well and good if Gabon was likely to earn millions in revenue from it. It's more likely to earn only a small fee (less than $25?) for the domain name registration.
I'm sure they could have cut a deal for a higher registration fee...
No. What people really want is shelter, food and safety. Freedom and to be let alone are priorities only for a handful of us-ian traditionalist.
The problem with that is that the population hasn't figured out that the people who would take away your shelter, food and safety don't use email or credit cards or Facebook.
The real problem here is that nobody feels they can fight the government on a personal level. Most of government is opaque and they get one vote every four years in a general election. What they really need is the ability to vote on individual issues.
The technology exists to give them that vote but I'm not holding my breath. I'm starting to wonder if the incompetence of Diebold is deliberate - to undermine confidence that individual voting could ever work. No company could be that incompetent, surely...
Why do have so many people problems accepting there are non-native English speakers? It's not difficult.
Why do so many English people have trouble believing people can learn other languages properly? My usual language is Spanish. I write English quite a lot but I can't remember the last time I spoke it.... certainly not in the last month.

All SSDs do wear levelling, otherwise they'd die after a couple of days. That happens beneath the LBA address layer - i.e. LBA's are mapped to physical addresses and the mapping changes each time an LBA is written.
Point is: Wear levelers are only useful of they've got some free space to work with. If they haven't got any (ie. disk nearly full),...then what?
This. All the Republicans have done for the last four years is try to prevent the Democrats from doing anything useful. They've opposed everything on principle, whether it was a good policy or not.
If you buy a 12 or 16-core CPU, it's not because you want your Facebook page to load faster. It's because you have some serious parallel workload to process, likely involving a lot of calculations.
Even so, most software will have a difficult job using up every available FPU processing slot. Sharing the FPU between CPUs might not be as bad as you imagine. Having 16 cores/8 FPUs is almost certainly better than 8 cores/8 FPUs because you'll keep the FPUs busier. If your code does a lot of expensive operations like divides and sqrt()s then even 4 FPUs might be able to keep up with the CPU.

No, that would be http://gi.bi/
You only use messenger to talk to your neighbors?
Weird. I use it to talk to people who are more than a footstep away.
Joe Citizen seems to use a limited set of retarded tools to make voting decisions, such as what the media or institutions (eg churches) tell him.
How is that different from senators and other house representatives?
Maybe OP has different overheads/profit requirements...
I once had to interview an applicant for a job on our research group who had done just that during his whole life.
Doing what...? Giving up or learning and doing?
What's Google's offering? They have a MASSIVE opportunity here, and six months to code it.
Messenger has some essential features that Skype doesn't have, eg. drop images into the window for the other person to see them.
If Google comes up with the goods before Messenger expires most people would probably switch to that instead of Skype.
Yeah, lets do it!
Are you coming over here to Spain or do I have to go to your place?
No.

Please try to pay more attention ... the corporations are the government.
A modern project like that is a HUGE undertaking. I just hope this guy understands that going in.
His goal is 1.25 million (pounds!), so maybe he does...

You only spotted one bad apostrophe? I put four of them in - just to make sure nobody could possibly be stupid enough to miss the joke.
Thanks for proving me wrong...
But...ummm...this wasn't one of those weird cases. And there were editors.
Why do people have so many problem's with apostrophe's? Its not difficult.

A home PC will only write a couple of gigs a day under typical workloads, which turns out to about 5 full writes a year for even the small sizes
...unless the disk is nearly full, in which case it'll be writing the same cells over and over again.

The word "religion" usually refers to belief in supernatural beings. It's being twisted here to mean other things.
To state the problem formally: All religious people are evangelists, not all evangelists are religious.
(in my understanding of the word)

4. An even lower level standard of living for the US...meaning we consume less, leaving more oil for China.
So that's what all insane gas guzzling is about - using it all up before the filthy Chinese get their hands on any!
Thanks for explaining.
Einstein wasn't religious at all.
Neither was he passive about sharing his beliefs, patriotism in particular he found contemptible...
Im still not really clear why anyone should care about the religious beliefs of Newton or Einstein.
They like to imagine that the most intelligent people in history believed in their god, that their religion has some sort of scientific rigor.
What's your opinion of the Christians in government who set the policies on education and science funding?
... Tragically, of course, if you're a fifty year old geek, coding is as close as you're getting to sex for the rest of your life....
Boy, are YOU doing it wrong....
