There's already plenty of precedent for this kind of activity. It's not unheard of to collect and store tons of unnecessary information, not all of which is encompassed by the warrant (for example, if you're wiretapping a guy who's under investigation for something and you get private information about non-related people because he happened to call his mom or dad to say 'hi'). You're allowed to legally store information that you are not legally allowed to collect on, but you're not allowed to do anything with the information (like present it in court) unless it was encompassed by a warrant or other permission.
I don't actually know if you can go get "after-the-fact, we-just-happened-to-hear-about-this-crime-committed-by-someone-else" warrants. I'm pretty sure that in 99% of all cases, after-the-fact or out-right illegal use of collected intel does not happen.
I ordered some Christmas presents (two cutesy page-a-day calendars and a cutesy book about rabbits) and each of the items was damaged in some way. Although they were still usable as books and calendars, I had wanted to give pristine presents. Since I had no time to send them back, Amazon cut the price in half ($20 off). I was pretty pleased that they were able to do anything when I was expecting nothing. The email I received from the service rep was even personalized as to why I couldn't just exchange the items (going to Japan) and wasn't copy/pasted. I was impressed.
1000m is doable with current public nuclear missile submarines. 1500m isn't far-fetched, especially for a vessel specialized for this purpose. I once heard that the design for some repeaters in underwater cables is classified in order to allow the US a way to interface with them. I'd actually like somebody to confirm/deny that if they have any links.:)
If they were to take the solar heat laden coolant, and pass it through a heat exchanger, and into a Stirling engine, they could use it to generate electricity to power desalination equipment
Good morning, gentlemen. This is a twelve-story block combining classical neo-Georgian features with the efficiency of modern techniques. The tenants arrive in the entrance hall here, and are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort and past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed. The blood pours down these chutes and the mangled flesh slurps into these... Hmm?
I'm genuinely curious, what parts are different or better in a more expensive PSU? Or is it just a combination of confirmation bias and shelling out too many bucks to say it's not worth it? Not really an accusation, I'm more curious about what parts in a PSU can be "better", considering all the parts are mass manufactured, anyway.
Because this new card uses the 260's memory bus and memory effects dominate at higher resolutions with AA turned up? Because its core clock is the same as the 260? Yes, its cores have the same number of shaders as a 280, but if you run at 1920x1200 or above it's probably more like a pair of 260's in SLI than a pair of 280's - and there's no point in having a $500 card if you play on a crappy screen.
You must have completely missed what I was saying. I own a GTX 280 card, and I would like to see how my GTX 280 compares to the new GTX 295. Why would you benchmark a graphics card without comparing it to the card that was top-of-the-line for the last several months straight?
I have a GTX 280, and I think it's suspicious that it's absent from their benchmarks, to say the least. Why would you include GTX 260 and an ATI card, but not GTX 280?
Huh? Christmas is a pretty secular holiday for me. I celebrate it because it's fun to give thoughtful presents and receive thoughtful presents. I could care less about Jesus. "Happy Holidays" was used to wish a happy Christmas long before anybody had the idea that it should be a way of referring to non-christian holidays, too. Just a bunch of silly atheists* finding a way to make themselves relevant again.
*I'm essentially an atheist, as well. Don't get angry at me for ragging on atheists, get angry at weirdos who make a big deal out of other people not being atheists.
32-bit OS can only support 4gb of RAM total, meaning installed RAM + video card RAM maxes out at 4gb. That's why you're not getting the full 4gb of motherboard RAM.
Wow, thanks for the good info. Here's a quote from the article that you already linked:
SourceForge also said it "intends to take aggressive steps" to accelerate the growth of its core Internet properties: Slashdot, SourceForge.net and ThinkGeek.
"These sites represent a truly unique set of Internet assets and there is more we can be doing to make them better and more engaging for our users," said Neumeister. "We are focused on aggressively pursuing our plans for each of these sites and making opportunistic investments that will enable us to reach our objectives faster."
replace their perfectly good interface with a godawful Web 2.0 mess.
I didn't mind any changes they made in the least, except for the silly changes to the user page! Now it takes two clicks and page loads in between to get to my comment page, whereas before it was only one simple click from the main page. This is the only change I've minded, and I mind considerably.
First they came for my easy-to-read Slashdot color scheme, but I did not speak out...
In your hypothetical case, when a person comes upon classified information that is improperly stored (like, right out in the open) they are supposed to store it properly immediately, or guard it themselves until it can be stored properly.

I remixed a remix, it was back to normal! Mitch Hedberg.
Why wouldn't you use ClearType, unless your monitor is borked?

Any sign of last year's expedition? They were supposed to build a bridge between the two peaks of Kilimanjaro.
For what it's worth, I hate walking on fucking hot sand. It hurts.

Are you suggesting that coolants migrate?

I don't care what the media says, I doubt we'll ever know the true motivations of the scumbags who committed mass murder in India recently
What? Do people just decide to organize a dozen people for months or years with detailed plans just for no reason, on a whim?
Thanks for the informative reply
I'm sure the sample size of the non-linked studies from the AC was huge.

In the US, if you go into a store and ask to buy some Aluminium; you might get a visit from Home Land Security.
Do you have any idea, what the fuck you can do with an aluminum tube ?
ALUMINUM!
Fine, that don't scare you? Look, I didn't want to say this one, but... he bought yellow cake. The mofo went down to Africa and bought yellow cake.

He doesn't. Only vodka. Tell me, have you ever seen him drink a glass of water?

Who runs Slashdot, exactly? I doubt I'm alone in thinking that it's just a tight-knit group of editors.

Wow. They even used a pic like Idle. Why is this filtering into my regular slashdot now?
