I remember seeing another article nearly a full year ago about this, but it was much more informational and less sensational. Now, it seems that this was all an operation by the good ole US. Imagine that.
I'm more inclined to believe that the entire thing, including the original magazine, was a psyops project. Looking at it the way the Public Intelligence does is far less non-nonsensical than wasted efforts altering a file that is likely to have an offline original copy somewhere when you could just... sabotage the server and take off the head. I'm sure it looks good to people who watch Fox news, but for those who know how the world really works, it just doesn't add up, much like the wording used in the so-called magazine.
1. Declare "cyber-crime" against the government officially a war crime.
2. Release details on a not-so-friendly foreign nation's shady online behavior.
3. Boom???
4. Profit!!
You don't have to store applications on the same partition you have Windows installed on. I currently have Windows XP install, page file, Program Files, and My Documents all on completely different partitions. As soon as I get around to caring enough, I'll get a SSD and sequester whatever blend of Windows is current at the time to that.
It's exactly what I tell my friends. I'll play Starcraft 2 on a 21' 1080P monitor while you play on your 27' and I'll have an immediate advantage at not having to turn my head all around in order to take in the entire screen. In the past CRT days, we used to pay extra for the smaller screen that could display a higher resolution! I remember being stuck using 18' screens that could only display 1280 x 1024 at 70htz when my 18' Trinitron could go 1600 x 1200 at 85htz. Buying an even bigger screen actually got you a bigger screen. Nowadays, I guess people like having stretched-out screens and paying more for it. It looks fine for movies, but in games it's just awful. Manufacturers, please bring back the good old days of (true) high-resolution gaming for those of us who actually know what it is.
The shiner and sleeker it is, the faster it will become perma-riddled with fingerprints, acquire visible scratches and look terrible. Then you buy a new one. This is especially popular on mobile devices. For reference, see any generation I-anything.
If you like it, use it. The beauty of open source. You can use what you want how you want and leave the other shit alone. If you don't know how, there's bound to be a community of like-minded kooks out there that can show you how.
Download a fix for a hardware problem. Maybe firmware, but no way that'll be coming through anything other than the manufacturer's channels of communications. Also, it's the OS that makes this possible. Note that nothing at all is actually happening to the files. Shame shame shame again.
One of WoW's main competitor at launch was EQ1, not to mention 2 and Guild Wars, which in all seriousness wasn't a real threat. EQ1 was because there were fully established raiding guilds in it and it was a real gamble at the time to jump ships to something else. Even EQ2 had to compete with EQ1, and lost to a large degree. EQ2 is free to play and EQ1 people are still willing to pay for 12 years later. MMOs are about raids and that's it. Maybe for friendship for a brief period of time, but other than that you're wasting your money.
Add to whatever he said the fact that anything, and they do mean ANYthing you say or do can be used against you in a court to prove your guilt, and you have a problem. Basically, the cops will stop at nothing to get a confession out of you because it's the best way to get a case closed as opposed to dragging it out in court. They will ask you questions with the intention of getting you to screw yourself into saying something that makes you look guilty and then use it in court. If you don't have a gameplan and good lawyer then that plea bargain is going to look real good.
Eventually the contacts will give way to brain-jacks with direct thought input/output. Once you can trick your brain into thinking something that isn't there really is, we could probably then just ditch-meat space altogether.
Since I'm sure pretty much all of that can be traced back to some sort of personal gain, I'll stand by my greed theory. How can you say genocide is not greed at some level? If you're eating while at the same time actively preventing someone else from eating, that's greed.
The answer is not GM foods, as much as I love technology,we just haven't been able able to solve our other problems, like greedy ass, unethical corporations. Greed is the reason people don't get to eat, not any failing of technology or logistics. I haven't finished this article yet, but so far it pretty much seems like a scare tactic plea for the acceptance of GM foods and cloning so that mega-corp monopolies like Monsanto can can keep on raking in the dough. 10 pages in and it's basically only said, in a nutshell, that funding the research of new technology is the only answer to the growing problem of food shortages. Asking for money, asking for deregulation.
Got a Seagate 7200 RPM 1.5 TB going out on me too. started off as a single "click" that is supposed to be "normal," but now it's gone to more clicking, stuttering, and garbled text in the terminal. It's going back. I'll try one more, but if I have to do this again, I will be RMA'ing it with the intent of it becoming a backup drive. Perhaps I'll get one of these 3TB.
I can see it now: my wife comes home from shopping, telling me "Hi, Honey, I just got something made of silk and I'm about to the bedroom and get into it. I bull rush in there and find her on the bed reading some trashy novel. Meh!
You're off the fucking topic and obvious troll, but I'll shoot back at you. Black hair is dry and brittle so it needs to be oiled. Otherwise it breaks, looks terrible and induces dry scalp. Any more questions?
Oh, and here's a tip: sunlight doesn't usually reach indoor pools, so plan your next troll more carefully.
"Once I worked out how much money I could make if this was my full-time job, I got a lot less excited," Srivastava says. "I'd have to travel from store to store and spend 45 seconds cracking each card. I estimated that I could expect to make about $600 a day. That's not bad. But to be honest, I make more as a consultant, and I find consulting to be a lot more interesting than scratch lottery tickets."
A real geek would have built an iPhone app and let it do the work for him... or her.
They won't stop until there is a class of people who can do whatever they please, and another class of low-lifes (us) that must be subject to their power, for their their (our) own good.

The best feature is ensured weight loss. See, if you stop pedaling you fall and die. No excuse now, fatties.

This changes my stance on evolution. Now I am 99.999% certain that I evolved from this particular type of bacteria.

Because REAL programmers eat really spicy foods.

Best in the series, easily. Will download. Will play.
