That's the thing though. You control the growth, you control exactly what gets into it, including other flavors. Why wouldn't they add flavor to the meat they grow?
It's not a silly question. The products are not just packaged in the same shape, they attempt to emulate the flavor of the meat product as well, although badly.
I can't wait for the cloned meat. Tasty steak, but never having been exposed to parasites, virus, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Also no fat, gristle, tendons, blood vessels or bones to worry about. Although I suppose if they can engineer cloned muscle cell, they can clone fat cells in that meat as well if they wanted, for flavor. And if they can do this for seafood? Cloned lobster and crab meat? (Swordfish steaks.. nomnomnom.) Once in full production, the prices would likely be much cheaper than ocean caught meat. And no worries about pollution or mercury poisoning. It would be great for wild animal populations, although bad for farmers and fisherman.
The OP already mentioned that... Having a PC on, but idling, certainly consumes less power than one with a maxed CPU/GPU. The only way to know for sure exactly how much a difference it is for you would be to stick an ampmeter on your power cable and measure it at both times.
And this is why I run my own DNS... I can point my subdomains wherever I want, unless they hijack or intercept DNS queries. I'm not with them, I use pairnic, but would my registrar still be able to do that if my server is it's own DNS and holds the master zones for my domains?
And if I'm paying a monthly music tax, you better believe I'm going to run my bittorrent 24/7. If those fuckers are making me pay, I'm getting my money's worth plus some.
Well, I'm saying it could be a faulty fan, skewed bearings or the like. Not something that would make the unit fail completely, but make quite an irritating noise. Like I said, mine is nearly silent when compared to my PC. If it were loud, I would be as irritated with it as you seem to be.
I don't know... just because HD-DVD is dead in the consumer market, it may not stop them from using it as a proprietary system for the console. If anything, it might afford them more protection from piracy than any DRM. If no one can get HD-DVD drives to read the disks, no one can decrypt or copy them. The Blu-ray BD+ DRM has already been broken by Slysoft (AnyDVD), for instance.
I could see a problem with production. They'd have to find a company willing to continue to manufacture the drives for them; knowing that MS might be their sole customer. They wouldn't want to get into a position of being dependent on that manufacturer and then have to pay through the nose for the hardware. So either pay more for them, or bring production inhouse. Either option more costly than Blu-ray drives. I'm curious to see where they go with it myself.
You must have a bad one. Mine is rather silent, outside of the occasional whirring when it first spins a disc up. It never bothered me before. I recently added a receiver and speakers, so even that I can't hear anymore.
We're the same. The driver's license is not tied to car insurance, the car's registration is. You can't register your car without insurance, but it doesn't affect your license to drive.
The court doesn't do it at all, but the plaintiff is supposed to when the lawsuit is served, which is what I assume he's talking about. Whether it's a sheriff/deputy or not depends on the rules of that particular court or district.
I think most organizations or groups with the means and know-how to perform a large-scale DDOS, would likely know this by now. Maybe they're doing it for publicity purposes
Then we, and the developer, are fucked? Again, I fail to see the relevance to what I posted.
Would someone like to explain what my downloading of TV shows to my computer and playing them on my xbox has shit to do with what games I choose to play?
And this is why I just download or rip whatever I'd like to watch to my PC, and then use Winamp Remote to view it upstairs on the big TV with my 360./arrr
Using school equipment to post pictures of highly illegal exploits is beyond that line.
I didn't see the part of the article where anyone mentioned having used school equipment. The administrators are punishing them merely for having the pictures on the internet, not for using the school's computers to do it.
Wait, so this is not the reason they publish kiddie diddler's names and addresses online? I thought they were encouraging vigilante justice to save the courts and prisons some money. Does this mean I should stop hunting down pedo's in my town?
Does anyone who actually supports these embargo laws ever really think they'll stop said country from getting what they want anyway? Embargos are a token gesture as most. Political foot-stomping. No one is actually surprised that Iran can get all the banned US goods they want, are they?

You're assuming Joe Bob redneck or Grandma Mabel knows how to do this, or even that they *can* do it.
I bet it wouldn't be hard to find a sound that the whales hated or were scared of. It would have a similar effect.

er... we put a game in the xbox's DVD drive?
How do you play games on game consoles?

It's not copyright infringement to download a copy of a public website.
It would be infringement to host that copy as your own.
I don't feel very secure that they're not.

Bah, that's only what? 9.75 X 10^78 possible permutations?
He'll just hack the Gibson and have it done by lunch.
So "secondly" should only follow a "firstly"?
