If they're reaching a temperature at which they cease to operate correctly, it's somewhat safe to assume that this is TOO HOT.
"How is Microsoft not taking responsibility?"
By not properly testing their products... Nobody thought to take a couple of them off of the line and try an extended burn-in test with various reasonable circumstances? riiight. Someone tested this and nobody cared that it failed.
No, it's not a tragedy.. But there used to be a thing called responsibility.. Now, I know we use this words to get children to do what we feel they need to, but it's not a real concept any more. Used to be, if you made a product, you were responsible for the product's safety and performance. Microsoft made a product that is not safe, not reliable, and just plain not satisfactory.
No, it's not a tragedy.. But Microsoft should be held to their responsibilities.
I'm really happy for you having found a site that offers the albums for an affordable download, but this really isn't so much a music service as a pay-per-piracy download site. You would be just as legal on eMule or bittorrent.
Not all of us feel that we need to seperate ourselves from any temptation to keep from doing bad things. Some of us, you see, have a conscience and self-control to help us get thru the day without accidentally committing mass homicide.
In the past, I worked for OfficeMax and then Staples. At each store, we would have weekly price updates that would automatically print in the back room. We would get a sheet of the stickers and go about finding the products to reprice. On occasion, an item would be priced down to next-to-nothing in order to flush out the stock to make room for a replacement or just clear out non-selling junk.
Sometimes, a lazy employee would just ditch his sheet of price updates and choose to take a smoke break or something of the sort. As a result, the customers would come in, see the widget priced at $49.99, and choose to buy it at that price. Upon their coming to my register, I would scan it, the POS would hit the database, and it would come up with the updated price of $9.99. I would usually get a response like, "What? You screwed up on that one.." I would explain the price update, and they would usually hurry off to grab a couple more of said item to purchase.
Cue "its not stealing, its *copyright infringement*" trolls.
What you don't realize is that you, in fact, are a "IT'S STEALING!" troll. If A != B, and person one says that A=B, while person two says that A=A, and not A=B.. Person one is most likely the troll.
I wonder how many people who frown on murder and rape have stepped on bugs on purpose.
There is a distinct seperation between downloading a song(costing the record company precisely $0.00) which, if purchased, would only profit huge corporations and not the artist... and stealing a physical item that involves raw material expenses, manufacturing costs, shipping, shelving, and other overhead.
A secured card basically is a bad deal, but it can build credit history. That's the only real benefit over a debit card. Well, that, and the buyer protections that come with a credit card.
One of the major problems you would have would be the heat. The most intelligent way of handling things, I think, would be to pump in cool water, pump out hot water, and use the hot water to heat a nearby building.
But that would KILL the supply of cheap labor for Chinese kids power-leveling WoW characters. Seriously. You can pay to have a kid log onto your character and advance it hella-fast. They also tend to sell a lot of gold.
Most people either already know or don't care. I don't want a brief history of Skype and it's CEO's housekeeper's neice. It's a story about Skype going to market. All I need to know is that.
I'll tell you what.. I'll sell you a car that looks good, drives well, and is very fast. It will run on a fuel that does not yet exist. Probably won't for awhile. How "great" is the car, in your opinion?
Having messed with current mesh systems (WDS), I'm not very satisfied. The problem that you find is that the radio can only recieve or send at any given moment. Wi-Fi is half-duplex. The effect of this is that every hop you have, you are cutting your available bandwidth by 1/2. Also, reliability goes down the toilet and you add the problem of dumb repeaters circulating packets like highschoolers passing a joint around behind the gym.
If you were to have a mesh network using up TWO wireless channels, each AP having two radios, you could break this bottleneck and have a fake-full-duplex network, meaning you'd basically just tack on a few ms of latency for each hop. Problem solved, no ground-breaking research needed. The problem with it? They would never make a dual-radio WRT54G, so I'd have to pay a bloated price (Probably 4x the price of a single-radio AP) due to economies of scale and such.
One way I made a fake mesh (Which was really more of a star but without so much bandwith cut) was to have a backhaul channel of 14(illegal) and just have a central AP on that chan. On the remote router end, I'd have a client on chan 14, and then an actual AP for the public connected to it by CAT5. Hey, it's rigged.. but it works.
I was arrested for urinating in a park once. I wasn't actually urinating. I was standing in the park and had spilled some water on my pants. It was late at night, and the police were swarming over the park searching for a guy who had beat someone up and stolen a truck. Instead, they took the six officers and arrested ME. Luckily, it's just a $100 ticket, no sex offender registry or anything. Still, it was a big pain in the ass. Had to be bailed out at 1 AM because a cop approached me from behind, assumed I had been pissing on a tree, and then proceeded to keep his flashlight shined in my face and refuse to identify himself after multiple requests.
Nice sig there. Good to see people following exactly in the word of Christ.
So, I'm sure that you're also not doing any of the following..
Wearing any sorts of blended fabrics, which includes most clothes today. (Lev 19:19)
Growing any gardens with more than one sort of vegetable.. (Also Lev 19:19)
Eating shrimp, lobster, crab, or any number of other seafood products (Lev 11:10)
Shaving your face. Ever. (Lev 19:27)
Eating any steak or hamburger cooked less than medium or medium-well (Lev 17:10)
Getting a tattoo. Also, don't write on your hand. (Lev 19:28)
There is a word for the sort of person who would call homosexuality a sin while having a shaven or even trimmed face. Hypocrite. Do you perhaps see how Lev 18:22 could perhaps be antiquated and, dare I say, even WRONG? Either follow ALL of these or stop trying to reinforce reptile-brained homophobia with cherry-picked scripture.
The preceding are 'abominations' or otherwise forbidden. There is no 'point system' so, doing ANY of this is equal to homosexuality. Have you ever shaved before in your entire life? Hey, you're already in Sinville. Off to the bath houses!
Keep in mind that there ARE a number of gay, bi, lesbian, or otherwise alt-sex individuals who make use of Slashdot. Posting up a weak argument against homosexuality as a sig is not the brightest of ideas.

I should mention, however, that I'm an asshole.
In a situation like that, I'd be the sort of person to expose the cops/security. "WHY ARE YOU CREEPING AROUND AND WATCHING THAT GUY??"

Wow, you're.. kind of a tool.
What..the..fuck.. did you just say?
Impressive-sounding system. Any additional details would be very much enjoyed.

Good answer, but you lose points. You forgot to simplify the fraction. 4/5.
I'll tell you what.. I'll sell you a car that looks good, drives well, and is very fast. It will run on a fuel that does not yet exist. Probably won't for awhile. How "great" is the car, in your opinion?
Your reason for switching your entire platform.. was a program.. that runs on both platforms.

Do you see the flaw here?

Oh yeah, the machine CERTAINLY is way too underpowered for the likes of word processing, web browsing, and various desktop publishing applications.
