Just use irate. All the free (beer) music you can listen to, computer-selected to be music you will like. The user interface could use a great deal of polishing, but I'm sure that is happening. And it's quite usable in its current state. I see no reason to support RIAA music for any reason anymore. (And sharing their music is supporting them, as it builds popularity).
This as about as classic a bait-and-switch as there is.
This is not bait-and-switch, this is fraud. Bait-and-switch is when the salesman talks consumers into buying a more expensive product than what was advertised. (The advertised product may or may not be actually available to someone with a strong enough will to not fall victim to these simple mind tricks). This is outright fraud.
The real problem is that there is no standard connector for low DC voltage. Why isn't there one? This would benefit everyone. This isn't a very difficult problem, except that it needs support of big businesses. But it seems that it would even benefit them.
When I travel I have to bring 9 power supplies (2 laptops, mp3 player, still camera, video camera, 2 cellphones, razor, toothbrush). This is insane! Of course I don't always bring all these devices. I often leave them behind not because of the device itself but because of the weight and volume from the power supply.
Here we're referring to the other 'three words theory,'
I'm referring to what my dictionary says "second world" means. I'm interested in finding evidence that there is another meaning in common usage so that I can write the dictionary maintainers and have the entry corrected.
I saw a movie where they could do this. It seems plausible. I'm sure they would have to cut the brain up into little pieces. Do we know how much of the brain degrades soon after death to be able to judge whether this is possible in theory?

Isolated behind cloth covered walls all day is not my idea of a good working environment.
Yeah I much prefer an open layout where the noise and light pollution are so severe as to make any kind of actual work that requires concentration completely impossible.
British rule did not stop Hong Kong Chinese or Aussies from prospering to second-world status.
I'm shocked to find out that Australia had sided with the Soviets.
I use smbfs mounts all over the place where I work, for weeks/months on end. Have not seen what you describe at all.
I use smbfs a lot also without problems. I still have problems every once in a while. For example, if I copy a large amount of data (say, with cp -a) from an smbfs mount to a local mount, and do a df in another window and ctrl-c the df when it hangs for a few seconds on the smbfs mount, a couple dozen files will fail to copy with an IO error, and then the copy will continue. When I ran into this (totally repeatable) problem, I decided that smbfs is clearly not stable enough for any important use.
1) Halon isn't used anymore but other chemicals that do the exact same thing are. 2) Halon was banned because it allegedly harms the ozone layer. 3) Halon doesn't cause any harm to humans even if you're in the room when it goes off. Look up the MSDS. Halon is healthier than smoke inhalation or breathing a room full of carbon dioxide or being electrocuted by water spraying all over you and electrical equipment.
If somethings value has been reduced to $0, it has effectively been stolen. If you distribute something of mine for free that I was charging more than $0 previously, you have stolen it from me
So competition is theft? If you are sellings widgets for $100 and I outsource my widget production to Thailand and sell them for $1, have I stolen something from you?
The idea that some group of people could win against such a government is as silly as the idea that a well armed local militia is important to the defense of this country. Such a militia did absolutely no good on 911.
9/11 happened because there was no 'well armed local militia' present on the planes. Everyone is required to give their guns up before they board the plane. If good people had been allowed to bring their weapons onto the plane, the hijackers (who did not have concealed carry permits nor would have been elgibile for one in any state) would have been quickly subdued with much less loss of life.
If I have bad hardware, then an standard Dell computer, new, bought by the company, must be bad hardware. Dual-processor, on-board graphics, fairly standard soundcard.
You have bad hardware. You're in denial. No one burn in tested your machine. Don't you know that?
I'm a big Windows hater, don't get me wrong. I don't have a Windows machine at home and havn't since Linux 1.1. But your description sounds obviously like a hardware problem. It is possible you have a driver bug, but a hardware problem is more likely.
Memory is always the prime suspect. That's where most of the transistors are. Try memtest86 on that machine. (just burn a CD and boot off that).
I'm surprised you mention two CPUs when talking about how the machine can't possibly be bad. That extra CPU is an extra failure point.
Have you compared the panic messages to see if it happens at the same point in the code? If this is happening, it's not a hardware problem.
It does not happen all the time. I believe this is the first time NASDAQ has ever cancelled trades *after* allowing a stock to resume trading.
If that's really what happened, something is seriously wrong here.
That is, if the sequence of events was - clearly erroneous trades, then trading halts, then trading restarts, then new trades made, then clearly erroneous trades busted, then to my knowledge this is unprecedented, and it is an outrage that this could happen. If there is evidence that this is indeed the sequence of events I would love to see it.
Glitches are bound to happen. Remember when the grid went down this past summer? I would have suspected major losses then, but somehow it wasn't that bad?
1) The power outage happened after the market close.
2) All major players have UPSes and generators.
The "power grid" is great. I rely on it to keep my ice cream icy and my milk fresh. Anyone who relies on it to run a trading system is so minor that their activity on the marketplace (or absence from the marketplace) will never be noticed.
I believe nasdaq has a set of rules for those who trade on it, and one of those rules I'm sure has to do with obvious mistakes.
This is NASDAQ's "clearly erroneous" rule. I'm sure a Google search will turn up plenty. All serious players are aware of this rule.
When you as an individual do trades, you do them with a brokerage, not with nasdaq, no matter how transparent it looks, and liability in that case depends on your contract with your broker.
It's not their fault, and the contract should cover this.
The fact that the trades were cancelled without permission from everybody involved in the trades is quite disturbing (because then it can set up precedence that any of your trades could be cancelled without you knowing about it, and that can really screw up your position).
That precedent is already there, for example NASDAQ's "clearly erroneous" rule.
Really this happens all the time and I don't know why this particular incident made/.
So after being newly hired at the NSA he is informed before he even starts the job that all cryptography has been broken. And he starts blabbing about this on an international phone call.
I'm fairly confident that if they cannot prove you were using, or intended to use, it for illegal purposes, you'd be fine.
Since merely having the recording device in the theater is against this law, "illegal" must mean to you laws other than this one. Does any other law work that way? If I'm caught with a knife on the street, can I use the fact that I didn't stab anyone as a defense?
"It would be more like someone taught you how to fish, and helped you for a long time, let you use their gear and all, and now says that you can't use their gear any more without paying for it".
Exactly. Except you forget to mention how they have a warehouse containing 10^50 sets of fishing gear, which will otherwise just sit there. And how you acquired a taste for fish with them promising you all along that it was OK to eat fish and get used to them because theres all the fish you can eat out there. If they hadn't promised this, you could have acquired a taste for lamb or pork or chicken instead.

My point is that if it was a standard, you won't need to carry it around, just like how you don't carry around a 22kv to 110v transformer.
Sounds like you need better friends.

I realize it's 20 years too late, but you should have said "why would I write my own name if I was the one who did it?".

That's why he had the space after "return", of course.

It is rated for usage at a maximum of 80% humidity. Most people don't live in such dry areas that the humidity never gets above 80%.
