Do you honestly think that Romney will be any better? You could pick any president that's ever been and come up with a list of bad things they've done. All presidents are human. They're not perfect. But here, let's supplement your cherry-picked actions by Obama with some of the good things he's done.
I think that all those nutjobs that predict the end of the world on such-and-such a date should be thrown in prison when their predictions *don't* come true. Look at all the lives they ruined. People quitting their job, selling their house, giving away all their money. Yet they remain free to predict again and again.
Why is it necessary for the answers to these security questions to be correct answers? I have standard outright lies as answers for my security questions, and those answers are known only to me.
The SNES had eight HDMA channels, each of which could feed data from a table into a specific display hardware register on every scan line. The first thing I programmed on the SNES was a company logo sequence that used seven HDMA channels (which you can see in the first 12 seconds of this video if you care.
When I later moved on to the GBA, I was aghast to see that the HDMA channels were gone from the hardware. To me, that was a big step down.:(
By the way, though the SNES is a 16-bit machine, it actually does 24-bit address resolution. You can test this for yourself by setting the bank register to $7F and doing an indexed load from say, $FF80,X where X > $80. It will read from bank $80 and not wrap around within bank $7F
I got the OTA update for my Nexus S. While I have Google Now, etc, there is no facial recognition to unlock the phone. Were I to hazard a guess, I would say this might be due to the front-facing camera drawing taking too much of a toll on the battery to make the feature practical.
Remember when the History channel showed history programs? And when you could actually learn something from The Learning Channel?
All these speciality channels eventually dumb down their programming to appeal to a broad audience of mouth-breathers until they're no different than any other channel, completely defeating the purpose of a speciality channel. I swear these channels are started with this long term goal specifically in mind.
Stores up here like Safeway and Save-On Foods get around people making cash transactions by inflating their prices and then dropping many (but not all) of those prices back to normal as long as you sign up as a "member". Then, it doesn't matter how you pay. If you don't sign up and let them track your purchasing, you get shafted on the price you pay. You might say, "well, then don't shop there", and I usually don't. When I do, however, I sort-of get around it by using my brother's wife's membership number.
I used to get called two or three times a day, every day, from... somebody. Every time I picked up the phone, they appeared to immediately hang up. I eventually got tired of this and reported them to the CRTC via email (I'm in Canada) because I'd no idea what else to do to make it stop. I got a reply from them in less than two hours. They said that the caller was a company in Ontario (I'm in BC) who claimed they were attempting to contact "a previous owner of the house" as part of some collections thing. I'd been living in my house for five years; the calls had only been going on for about a week. I suspect they fibbed to the CRTC.:)
Anyway, I never received a call from them ever again after that. Thanks, CRTC.:)
I started attempting to log in at about 12:04am. It only took me a few tries to get past the authentication server into the character creation screen. But the creation of my character consistently and repeatedly timed out. Eventually, it seemed to get stuck so I started over at the log-in screen. By this time, most of the people who had gone out to the stores and bought a physical copy had clearly arrived home and installed it, since it took me almost an hour of repeated attempts to get past the log-in screen the second time.
When I did get through, I saw that my character was indeed created. I clicked the Start Game button, went into the game and never had a single problem with it for the next three hours.
But, how many countless games in the past, particularly cartridge games, had only three or five "save slots"? I don't see the difference other than available storage, cartridges being light on that sort of thing. It seems reasonable to me for Blizzard to not want millions of people to fill up their server-side storage with eleventy-million characters, most of which will rarely, if ever get played.
Diablo II would exterminate your battle.net character if you didn't play it for a period of time (three months, I think?) Frankly, I'd rather have limited reliable storage than risk my characters' perma-death due to inactivity.
Having seven and then nine billion people guarantees we will be unable to stop the increase even if we all live in mud huts, eat vegetables and bury our poop.
Hear, hear! If I could, I would get the hell rid of every channel that broadcasts any show with the words "Wars", "American", "Alien" or "Science" in the title. I also don't need access to every province's individual CBC feed. And I'd like to get HBO without having to shell out an extra $28/month because it comes with fourteen other channels I don't give a crap about.
...that they are constantly trying to convince us that watching movies and sports on a 4-inch display with horrible, tinny speakers, is somehow a desirable thing.
Never mind that a lot of batteries won't survive an entire movie or sports game unless they were fully charged in advance.
One might think, if Zimmerman was injured as claimed, despite being given medical attention prior to the video, that there would perhaps be *some* blood on his T-shirt and jacket, but in that video, there is not one drop of blood detectable on his clothing, as far as I can see.
It didn't use to be illegal. That law was a response to people melting them down because the copper was worth more than the penny. A more rational response would have been to just ditch the penny at that point. There are other good reasons to get rid of it.
Slashdot Mirror
C.G.P. Grey explains why here.
He also explains the penny death process in Canada here.
C.G.P. Grey has a couple of good videos in support of getting rid of the penny here and here.
That's great news, Tim. You've got some catching up to do. :)

Bejeweled 3's Diamond Mine game variation does it for me. No guns, just lovely, lovely gems that explode in such a satisfying way. :)
Just Diamond Mine, though. All the other game variations blow.

So I can stop burying my poop, then?
I don't think changing the question whilst I am in the middle of attempting to solve it is the best way to keep me engaged with the test.

APK reads a lot better if you imagine the voice of Daniel (Gyro-Robo) from Robot Chicken speaking it. :)
Don't forget sports.
I wonder what platform they're planning to target.
