So that when the government analyses your HD it doesn't make a noise. A good way to check your computer for malware/spyware/viruses is to leave it alone and put your ear near the HD. If it makes a sound something you didn't tell it to do is going on.
You can sue them, but only for the damages that you suffered due to the takedown. I guess you could hire RIAA lawyers to calculate the damages for you.
My cable company only has dynamic IP for home. Minimum cost is $29.95/mo (5 Mbit down). The cheapest business internet with a static IP is $87.99/mo.(20 Mbit down, 3 Mbit up).
The first line is to thank you for being a friend. The second line is a metaphor describing life as a journey. The third line is very deep. You can meditate for hours on the connections with the first two lines: cosmonauts obviously take long journeys, for example.
The second stanza is again a metaphor, this time on life being a party and the importance of having good friends. This again connects with the sentiments from the first stanza.
Both water and conductive liquids seem like terrible choices for cooling electronics. A motherboard can be immersed in cooking oil and run fine with no fans. If you want to get fancy you can use fluorinert. A magnesium case like the NeXT would be good for radiating the heat..
The pdf says they are aware of a total of 33 injuries and one death in the US ever due to magnet ingestion. Out of a 300 million population that is a vanishingly small risk. Meanwhile there are something like 30,000 accidental poisonings each year. Are we really paying attention to the right things?
Once SOPA passes, look for reps that use infringing images or music on their websites. There have been several cases of this. The have their domains pulled using SOPA powers. You'll see it get repealed real quickly.
The more important aspect of the truth that's slowly leaking out is that U.S. officials are finally admitting that it was on a spy mission inside Iran and dropping that ridiculous cover story that it was just flying around Afghanistan and accidentally may have strayed into Iran (oopsy, whoopsy, did we cross your border?!?).
Actually the drone was just going for a hike along the border. There's some wonderful scenery in that area. It had no idea it had strayed across the line into Iran until the Iranians captured it. It certainly was not doing any spying and hopes to be released soon so it can return to its journalism career.
So why do accident rates go up when states ban cell phone use?:) I realize that's not a fair question, but it's an important question here. Just because cellphones cause accidents doesn't mean banning cell phones will prevent accidents. We can't uninvent cell phones, so we need to learn how to live with them.
States tend to only ban handheld use. Switching to handsfree allows drivers to make or answer more calls but has no effect on the amount of distraction they cause. It would be interesting to know if there is any kind of training that could be done that would allow people to use phones safely while driving. Not sure you could get anyone to fund the idea.
The real problem is that devices are Subsidized. If you don't pay for all of the device, should the company be able to lock you in on the device? I think they should. If they can't then it becomes harder for them to make their money back and they will stop subsidizing devices. Once the contract is over, or if you paid full price, then you should be able to do whatever you want.
The contract obligates you to maintain service for 1 or 2 years or else pay for the phone. Once you've signed the contract it's your phone. Hint: who's on the hook to repair it if it breaks?
Simpler than that. A company can takes in some amount of money. If it spends less on office software, say, it can spend more on hiring people, produce more, and make more money. Net increase in jobs.

Yes. What's to stop me from downloading the code, modifying it to put my results on top and then joining my 1000 or so servers to the pool? You only need a small advantage to get big differences in results -- the difference between 10th and 11th place is page one vs obscurity.
I'm waiting to hear how it's global warming or W's fault - at least pin it on the europeans coming to north america if your lack of appreciation for diversity artificially imposes temporal limits on you understanding of causation...
take the spin out of it & what are you left with? SCIENCE?!?
I'm waiting to hear from the fiscal conservatives who want to cancel the space program and asteroid-hunting programs because the Federal Government shouldn't be spending taxpayer money on such useless endeavors.
There's a reason that the dabblers complain about the GIMP. Have you ever read through one of those tutorials on how to do some cool graphics technique, like floating semi-transparent 3D letters above a picture? They tend to be written as "go to the *X Menu* and select *Name*" so they can't be translated to a program that has different menus and names. The dabblers don't know how to do things, just how to follow recipes.

You probably didn't. There's a known bug in the code on this site where replies are mis-parented.
I would like a more stylish ear tag when you start doing this on humans, please.

Like scheduled backup or updates, you mean?
You should be buying their new 1.5 TB drives. Those 1.5 gb drives must be at least 12 years old.
Awesome list. I'll just add one more: block "minor enhancements that shouldn't affect the schedule" no matter who suggests them.

In the US it is illegal to require a consumer to only use the vendor's services in order to maintain your warranty (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act)
At what pressure? Earth core or sea level?
Not just the source to the recent Kindle Fire, but code for all of them back to the original. Nice move.
I wonder if they held any bits back?
Just two.
