If a fault is about to crack, then a little pressure can trigger an earthquake. It's like the last straw that breaks the camel's back.'" More from The Guardian.
Well then, the straw that breaks the camel's back can be anything from the sky scrpaer, to a simple dog house in someone's backyward. Looks like the author of the article and headline article are just trying to draw an ironic episode. And since it would be impossible to prove exactly what that straw was, its clearly just speculation.
From the PriceRitePhoto website... "What are the benefits of registration?
As a registered customer, you become entitled to special discount schemes and promotional pricing offers. These schemes would become available to you not only on orders you place at our web store but also to orders through other channels."
One thing that's always put me off of the Pentium M's has been the 533MHz Front Side Bus speed when the P4 FSB's are at 800MHz and some extreme editions at 1066MHz. Does anyone know what the FSB speed is off this chip? -- its not mentioned anywhere in TFA.
Exactly... Call our number, you'll get one of our friendly, well trained, Microsoft India representatives to walk you through getting a new activation code. Its a toll free call and takes about 5 mins. Seems pretty reasonable.
Having done alot of travel to the US, both for business and pleasure, let me assure you Canada's lifestyle is far different. We live in a much more secure, comfortable and friendly environment than most places in the United States. We have very little crime (Toronto, our largest city, has about 70 murders a year), we have the best health care system in the world, we have tonnes of green land, and are well respected by most of the World.
That's right, we got the rights to all the components. That includes the CPU, wireless hardware, the bridges and even the GPU. So, if anyone along the way in the supply chain screws up by providing flakey hardware or limiting supply, we get a new supplier.
If you look at the Anandtech review where they disassemble the 360, you'll notice every component is branded with the Microsoft logo!
FTFA: "There are about 100 students in the Columbia University lecture I'm currently attending, and about 10 have laptops. (The lecture consists mostly of grad students in their late 20s, so the ratio is a bit low.) I can see four screens from here; only one person is actually taking notes. Another is looking at the registrar's Web site. The other two keep checking their e-mail."
So the real question is, would these same students pre-occupy themselves with something else if they didn't have their laptops open to browse? Its reasonable to conclude that they have a limited attention span as it is, so whether they're sending email, talking on an IM client, or checking out the hot blond two rows down, they weren't going to being paying attention in their English 101 lecture anyways.
Not sure why the submitter of this article thinks its a scary thought. With the internet being the defacto standard for terrorist communication, both to one another and to the world via terrorist sponsored websites, its a good thing that the US is finally doing something to be proactive in this area.
You'll all probably mod me down for this, but I actually this is a good move on NASA's part. We all realize the purpose of the space station is to provide scientific research, but in light of recent problems plaguing the shuttle program, the safety of the astronauts should be the foremost consideration. Not much point in moving into an appartment building until its been built, and the same thing applies to an orbiting piece of metal.

Safe Cigarettes?

I'm in the same boat. More or less. I'm a relatively light smoker, but being a scientist, I wanted to see if the stuff really affected my athletic ability. Well after smoking for about a year, I was still running 20-30 km everyday. On a nice Saturday morning this past summer, I had three cigarettes before going for a run. I did 56km that morning (that's about 35 miles). And since the nice light headed feeling takes away from my headaches, I'll still enjoy a cigarette.
Wow, assuming there's any credibility to your story (and that's probably a real stretch) you assaulted a minor? Good for you. So maybe we should add your sorry ass to a list, you know, one like the sexual offenders list. How are you going to explain to your kids that daddy had to close down the store to afford a lawyer and still has to serve 3 months? Imagine their haircuts then.
Gee thanks. From the article "The Analog Content Security Preservation Act of 2005 is scheduled to be debated in a U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property on Thursday."
So how about a news article discussing the first round of debates?
Here's a link to the bill.
Oh yeah I'm really excited. I can look at all the cool toys I can't load onto my phone because my local provider has locked them out. Hope they make the site actually useful for us and maybe post a link or two about how to get a cable for a particular Nokia handset and the cracks to circumvent the locking mechanisms installed by the retailers.
By the same logic as those cheesy insurance commercials, where you can afford the policy if you can afford a cup of coffee a day, if you can afford to spend 5 minutes reading slashdot each day, then you can afford not to drop twice the amount of money on ram for the 2% time savings it offers in most programs.
Well they shouldn't be giving you a hard time with multiple re-activations. They may question it, but according to the license agreement there are no specified maximum activation numbers (aside from MSDN).
Last I checked, most the activation calls goto the same call centre over in India, whether you're calling from the USA, Australia, Canada, etc. and they will always let you reactivate retail software as long as you don't have it installed on another computer.
Yeah well that's closer to the truth than you think. 10% of the company is comprised of co-ops. They typically put in longer hours, do more work, and are the real boys and girls in the trenches.
Nope, not bragging at all. In fact, nothing to brag about. I havn't used a unix shell since I was taking computer science at uni. So I'm the furthest thing from an expert on this topic.
Well I agree that keeping notes is handy, but surely having them indexed on a computer is just as simple, more portable, and easier to pass around. And yes you have to have a machine running to use the online help, but how many people doing shell scripting don't have a second computer at their disposal should something happen to the first one?
While I think that's true for some topics, in the technology field there seems to be alot of information available. For example, look at this google search for Linux Shell Tutorial. Looks like alot of info to me.

FTA The idea of saving money and never having to worry about a blue screen of death is the proverbial win/win scenario.
Okay, okay, we get it... you don't like the blue screen of death. How about a soothing Salmon Pink color?

I miss the good old days at Microsoft. When we used to just do whatever the hell we wanted, and would write a cheque for the consequences later. :)
