Rice milk would be better for you than soy, and the taste is comparable. Organic milk is also vastly superior to your generic milk stock, as far as taste and the ability to properly digest it goes. Goat and bison milk are also viable alternatives for people with a general cow milk intolerance (from what I understand, completely different amounts and chemical type of lactose according to my allergy doctor, and some people that are lactose intolerant can drink those with none of the effects of drinking cow milk).
All of those yummy synthetic hormone additives that make their way from the injected cows into their milk, as well as heightened levels of lactose and other chemicals, is what is making your body revolt. I have the same problem, which instantly vanishes when drinking certified organic milk, or other cow-milk alternatives. Organic milk doesn't curdle my stomach, and doesn't taste foul (especially in coffee, where you can instantly tell the difference). No more upset stomach, no more rushing to the bathroom after a single cup of coffee, etc.
It's worth it to me to pay the higher price for the organic milk, and get goat milk as well to supplement that from a local organic dairy.
That's because there is little to no support for any 64-bit versions of any browsers or their associated 64-bit plugins (the few that exist that is), if you can even easily find the 64-bit versions. For some reason they tend to bury them someplace as if they hope users won't find them.
The 64-bit version of IE would be great (as great as IE can be that is, it is after all, IE) if they put a bit more effort into it.
I won't even get into the abject misery that is 64-bit Firefox on Win7 64-bit. Firefox in general has lost something, dunno quite how to pin it, but it really isn't as good as it used to be. I still get vastly better performance out of a portable copy of the 1.x series that I keep on a write-protected USB thumb drive than I do out of the 3.x series running as a native install.
I run lots of 64-bit programs over their 32-bit counterparts when I can. It's just a bit discouraging that the software realm seems to be lagging so far behind relatively modern hardware. 64-Bit operating systems have been around for quite awhile now, as have the associated hardware support. It's nigh past the time software developers/publishers of all stripes get with the times, so to speak.
That's because under the previous version, they were using highly unoptimized and sloppy acceleration code that made very rude assumptions about what particular video cards were in use on the machine.
Multiply that by the average of 16 shipping cars per train (discounting the 8 average liquid container cars). So, 5,550 Tb/s x16 = 88,000 Tb/s as an average figure (you do the other conversion to whatever per second, I'm not bothering). I do believe you'd be able to send the entire data collection of Google, and also possibly everything contained in Microsoft's public download servers in one go.
I wonder how many Libraries of Congress that would make.
That could also be, that in the Glider case, that the original creator of the Glider software, did read and agree to the EULA and other licenses put forth by Blizzard, before writing their software. That's a big difference between magically having a EULA applied only at or after installation time (my EULA for WoW came in the box, and a second copy during installation, what about yours?), and one that was pre-agreed to before any installation of software. Glider was also found to have violated the ToS for use of Blizzard's services, and ToS (as distinct from EULA) has already been established as a valid contract in several cases (and all that applies via contract law).
Either way, they were predestined to lose that case.
It's more than legally dubious, it violates some provisions of the DMCA if they are not first sending the takedown notice. There are steps to be taken, and judges don't take a kind view on people who don't follow those steps, no matter who you are.
I forgot to say 4600 series model. In specific: 4670 (hey for the price I paid for it, $30, shipped, I just couldn't find a better deal - especially for a 256-bit 1 GB model). So, sorry for the double-post, it's late and I worked a double.
My HD Radeon 4600 has blue PCB instead of the traditional red - I think this is because it was a second hardware revision of their 1GB RAM version (the other version is 512MB) of this particular card model.
I've also noticed PCB color variations amongst the 3rd-party card manufacturers over the years. It used to be strictly Red vs Green, but lately I've come across Blue, Brown, Orange and even in rare cases, Black PCBs in both nVidia and ATI 3rd-party cards. I always had thought that the PCB choices made by ATI and nVidia were strictly a traditional branding thing, and that until fairly recently, they actually made 3rd-party card manufacturers stick with that branding type.
Marketing should be walled off from everything but a large, caged enclosure in a sub-basement, with the only other external access being to a restroom door marked, "Beware of Hungry Jaguar."
Every laptop built from 2002 on, already has them. Business class and high-end gaming desktops have them. Cell phones, many PMPs, etc, are essentially giant RFID tags to start with.
As for the rest, it's coming if we like it or not. Mitigation for me involves a pair of pliers or a hammer applied directly to the offending part. The TPMS in tires is rather innocuous at least - besides facilitating tire-pressure monitoring, it stores information like manufacturing date, batch code, plant number, etc. in case of tire failure/recall. Implemented after the Firestone/Bridgestone fiasco a few years back by more than a few manufacturers of tires.
As for the kooks who say we get injected with them via our shots, I say bollocks - the exit hole of the needle is smaller than a grain of sand, and nano isn't far enough along yet to produce viable RFID that small. Give it another 20 years maybe. Witness the volunteers (and millions of pets) who get/got chipped. It's more than just a needle-shot.
Well, considering that song was written and performed in an era where many girls were married and knocked up by the time she was 16 (18 at the outset)...
It really started getting hairy though right about the time that Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year old cousin.
And you're ignorant of the situation to still think that the USA still makes tons of shit, when most of it is in fact, manufactured in Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, etc, shipped to China for final assembly, and then brought back to the USA.
If your version of things was true, Ohio, PA, and basically any and every other state/commonwealth that relied on manufacturing wouldn't be struggling so much because 90% or more of their manufacturing base is gone.
Have you actually BEEN to Detroit, Lansing, or ANY of the other manufacturing cities in Michigan lately?
Of course it's worthy. Go ask anyone in Vietnam about how safe dioxin exposure is to humans.
Seriously, they had an entire program on PBS dedicated to Dioxins and the role the American chemical industry had in their proliferation. It's also interesting to note, that there are several former Agent Orange production sites in Tennessee and Kentucky that their former/current owners refuse to clean up (Monsanto and a few others). Instead they leveled the buildings, piled more dirt on top of the affected areas, then turned them into parking lots for the remaining parts of the facilities still in use.
They also showed the staggering cancer rate and birth defect rates (serious physical and mental deformities) in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, as well as taking current Dioxin measurements of the soil, air, and human blood samples - that showed exposure levels far greater than what the EPA is finding here, and this is 30-40+ years later.
Oh, by the way, Agent Orange is still in production and wide use today, it just isn't called Agent Orange any longer, and has a slightly improved formula. Many people spray it on their lawns or sidewalks to get rid of those pesky dandelions, etc. The companies manufacturing it just came up with new names to disguise what it actually is - don't want the negative impact from the "Agent Orange" moniker of course.
Except for when you have a small group of individual companies colluding to corner the entire market on production and distribution. What do you call it then?
Stop trying to claim it's a capitalist free market when no such thing exists anywhere on the planet.
It's a really well-developed information gathering service hidden behind a thinly veiled marketing platform.
Facebook's real customers aren't you, the "user". It's the marketing companies, law-enforcement agencies, scammers, spammers, etc that pay big $$$ to have access to this giant database of personal information.
In a rather large number of jurisdictions, trash placed outside is considered in and part of the public space, even if it remains physically located on private property, thus negating any need whatsoever to obtain a warrant.
Or better yet, don't allow scriptable elements/strings in the user input period. A general purpose video site does not need or require fancy formatting or scripting elements in comments.
Interestingly enough, I think music would be the one realm where a solid 70-year copyright term (with NO allowable extensions) is acceptable. New compilations of the old Jazz and BeBop guys from the 1920's are being released and performed to this very day - quite a few by rather famous musicians. The stuff by The Beatles is fast approaching the 50 year release mark for some of the early material, and it still turns a vast profit, and with two of the authors still living, and the spouses of the other two still living, I would say it's very acceptable for copyright to still cover their materials.
Books and movies - not so much. The material found in non-fiction materials is rapidly outdated (outside of certain solid historical texts), and fiction tends to be read, digested, and forgotten over a period of 30 years for the most part (Notable exceptions being authors like Tolkien, Kerouac, King, etc).
As for movies, outside of a few classics like Casablanca, E.T., The Godfather, Jaws, Star Wars, etc, there hasn't been much material worth the current terms in copyright law. Not worth preserving in archival vaults either for that matter.
Just because certain movie studios were stupid enough to spend +$100 million USD on a film, does not automatically make it worth extreme lengths of copyright. In fact, at this point, viewing all of the remakes that Hollywood is starting to churn out (this rehash period firmly took hold in the mid to late 90's), I'd totally blame the current status of copyright law on their inability to make new types of movies with new ideas - they've painted themselves into a corner where their only option left is rehashing movies they've already done.
I think this is due to the fact that the stories they'd LOVE to use, they can't, because the authors of those stories have wizened up quite a bit in regards to the use and distribution of their works under the current law. The entertainment studios didn't fully realize what they'd created when they pushed the blacksmith of Congress to forge the sword that would also cut them so deeply. I am thinking more and more authors are refusing to turn over sole distribution rights, etc to the movie cartels - making it impossible for said cartels to get an iron grip on these author's stories for the next +150 years. This forces them to rehash the stuff they already own distribution rights on.
Expect to see more and more remakes of ever more recent material.
Unfortunately, he can always add in the (in)famous "on the internet" clause, which seems to be a free pass to instant copyrights and patents, meaning you WILL end up owing him that money.

Eh, I don't think so. How else can they have unleavened bread if there are no grains?
No, they eat the unleavened bread, with bitter herbs, etc. They don't serve dairy or eggs at Passover though that I've seen.
Traditionally, they also offered up an unblemished lamb as a sacrifice. Have no idea if they still practice that in the modern era.

No, what they threatened was to seize the patents and bring them under US Government ownership if a settlement wasn't reached.
But then you run into the situation where your market is entirely excluded because of that fact.
