Snapper looks like a nifty tool, but does using it still open up the user to constant ENOSPC denial of services? Still have to constantly rebalance your BTRFS when using RAID?
You should probably see the videos of this guy before making silly comments. Breathing ain't the only thing going on there.
There's a good youtube of one of his low notes and its effect on a glass of water.
The interaction between unfit genes and the rest seems impossibly complicated. It's the height of silly human hubris to think that scientists can even come clost to approximating billions of years of incremental improvements.
The proposed genetic monoculture sounds ripe for destruction by a currently-rare disease. I wonder what Darwin would think about manual manipulation of unfit genes.
With an IQ of 149 just in my penis alone, I assure you it makes perfect sense. If only you had the extra IQ points required to understand the joke. Sorry mate, no pun intended.
To misquote an old saw, it's not how hard it is -- it's how many you have and how you use them that matters.
This is why sharks are above us in the Australian food chain.
It makes perfect sense. Microsoft hated BES because the software was shitty, slow and unpredictable, a massive security risk, and made Windows servers even slower and more crashy. Sysadmins hated BES because of the licensing hassles, clients always phoning up trying to get the phone reactivated or re-syncing, BES processes needing to be restarted all the time, constant "upgrades" breaking things. Been there, done that, and glad to be rid of the fscking pair of 'em, MS and RIM both.
Sounds like Hitler's paradise to me. Something along the lines of the 1938 Regulations Against Jews' Possession of Weapons. Guns were banned and the violence rate stayed ultra-low because the Nazi definition of violence didn't include killing non-humans (ie, Jews). Only those "trustworthy" governmental types need guns anyways, right?
Not sure what all this has to do with M$ investing in Android tablets but a good Apple-bashing is fine by me.
Speaking of Apple, I wonder what they'll think of next - drop-down notifications, multitasking, and even widgets? One can only imagine what other Gingerbread-era features will finally be included in iOS6.
Sounds like even more tax write-offs to me. Ship your old worn-out reels to the troops, blame degradation of valuable film on the environment. These MPAA crooks have no shame.
Sounds about right. Each imaginary ticket sold (ie, person who watches a movie) is a donation to the war effort. Tax write-offs galore. The celluloid reels and fixed seating capacities of whatever auditorium is used merely provide proof of the magnitude of this donation.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Put some more numbers to it:
in the 80s it was calculated that those high rear taillights (in the middle of a car) would prevent 50% of accidents. Later they recalculated it's a lot closer to 5%.
Rearview cameras will get dirty & will prevent some people from using their own eyes in some cases. Who benefits?
Probably somebody has a ton of shitty old TFT resistive panels left to unload, or some other ulterior motive that will come out years from now.
would it really? If it's impossible to produce enough to meet demand, and America certainly doesn't have the infrastructure to support iPod+iPad+iPhone production, then Apple would be losing even more to cheaper competitors running Android.
So there's the initial loss, from increased labor costs. Tack on the increased materials cost, because everything comes from China. Add in the time to get the parts by boat, because they're not going to air-freight the parts to produce millions of iDevices. Add in the opportunity cost, from competition (made in China, and much cheaper) eating Apple's lunch. Add in the cost if China decides it's time to scale back on providing eare earth minerals to foreigners in some sort of protectionist bid. It's a lot more than the $70 that some yahoo thinks it could cost.
Sure, you can bury your head in the sand and pretend that it's just the labor that's more expensive, but Apple knows better and so do thousands of other CEOs and American companies that make none of their products in America.
Or maybe you and some other/. pundits are right, and America really does have a chance to win back Apple's manufacturing business;)
Ahh, that explains why America is such an electronics manufacturing powerhouse. And with all those wonderful American subsidies designed to prevent outsourcing to hostiles like BRIC, I expect (based on your info) we'll be seeing a massive influx of manufacturing from Apple, Dell, HP, et al.

I'm actually looking forward to the day those weaklings susceptible to wrap rage are going to be part of the zombie horde.
Just me and my shotgun, baby. Weeding out the unfit as Darwin intended. Might open up a N7 in front of them just to make it interesting.
I'm pretty sure anybody who would want to run it already knows what the prompt looks like.

Bullshit. I submit as anecdotal evidence my finding that the super-old number disproportionately among the crankiest people I know.
Yeah, they became immune to cancer. And if they do, all that's prescribed is a round of chemo. Just don't make 'em angry.

Comes with full cold fusion blueprints too IIRC.
Without reading the FA I was thinking Simpson's paradox.
Just get vaccinated. Then stop worrying about it because you're safe. Right?
Pro tip: only a shitty parent would think of chipping their kid. The burden of teaching a kid doesn't belong exclusively in the domain of others.
True that. It's a matter of minutes from deployment until kids invent workarounds.
If chipment of kids were a norm back in my high school days I'd have ensured that my chip would somehow end up in the neighbour's uniform.

You're totally right. Better to paralyze a few weaklings if it means I won't get the flu.
Sounds awful, but vaccines weeding out the unfit is clearly the right thing to do.
This settlement should be paid with pictures of real and/or virtual currency, and pictures of clothes for real or imagined pets.
