Maybe you're buying the wrong CFLs. Since replacing the ones at my mom's house 4 years ago, and moving out on my own and buying for my apartment almost 2 years ago, neither of us have replaced a single one.
I think the problem with guns relative to the other weapons you mention is in their ability to be used impulsively. Someone who's using a bomb has a relatively long time to put together their plot, while someone with a gun just needs to load it and show up at their target location.
Yeah, because Connecticut is the heart of gun nut country, and totally not endless suburbs with a couple cities tossed in. Someone needs a refresher on geography.
Except when it comes to the details of the motorcycle case in particular, it's baffling that it wasn't recovered. It passed by the same camera something like 40 times, on sequential days, in the same half hour period. Shit, you can just station a cop there and let them write speeding tickets for 2-3 days, and they'd be bound to run into it.
Yes, it's the same situation there. I forgot which instruction, but NVidia cards require 3 instructions to perform an operation ATI cards can do in 1, and it's a key instruction in both SHA256 and Scrypt algorithms. Combine that with lower clocks due to the architecture of NVidia cards, and you have your performance difference.
Depends on the context of the hate speech. If you're organizing violence, you're not covered. If you're organizing a peaceful demonstration, you're covered. It's a fine line, but everything below that line is allowed.
I can't find the tweets themselves though, so I couldn't give some insight.
Some of their pipelines carry both LPG and natural gas. LPG is a byproduct of crude refinement. They own coal mines. They operate businesses that manufacture industrial equipment used in power plants. So yes, they do have a stake in this.
Considering they own 4000 miles of oil pipelines, and 3 refineries, there's nothing "tinfoil hat" about thinking they might shit themselves when new nuclear plants are being built.
Actually, the policy they're considering would require airlines that want to have cell phones on planes apply for licenses. In effect, you'd be able to choose Delta or United or whatever airline based on whether or not you want to talk on your phone.
Gotta love the end of the story, where they spend more space begging for donations than the story itself took up. Not to mention the fact that if his insurer is hiking his premium a substantial amount, it probably doesn't have anything to do with the PPACA - if the insurance company were legally mandated to cancel his plan, they wouldn't just say "ok well you can keep it" while whispering "we'll do something completely illegal and breaking the law and probably get fucked in every way possible by the DoJ *just for you*". It's that level of non-credibility that gets right wing sources laughed at nowadays.
I wouldn't imagine they're intending to deploy this kind of service in suburbs and rural areas for a long time, if at all. They'd likely be looking at areas with a higher population density that don't have the wind issues of a city like New York. Something like the Fort Lee area in New Jersey would be an ideal location for initial deployment - very small numbers of skyscrapers (no wind issues), high population density, relatively affluent area.
Considering this particular piece of software is absolutely trivial to find, I don't think they're going after anyone in this case. They're going after people who offer ROMs of the original Mario games (and many others) specifically because Nintendo does still sell the games, via the eShop, on all of their recent platforms, not to mention repackaged versions on cartridges and discs.
In addition, could you imagine the PR hit they'd take for going after a public school for infringement of a 20 year old piece of software that the school believes is the best way to teach students a skill, while they do not sell the software anymore? This isn't going after some random pirate who could legitimately be claimed to be cutting into their profits.

I don't know about the Win95 version, to be honest. Taking a look at the first Youtube video when searching for "Mario Teaches Typing", there's a comment from a month ago saying that he played it at school. It's easier than you might imagine in any case, because there's an even older DOS version that works in DOSBox, that can be downloaded from many places on the net.
But honestly, the idea of "gamification" is done so well by this game (despite being created a decade before the term existed), having a new and updated version would be incredibly helpful for teachers of any computer course that requires typing proficiency. If done as well as the original while focusing the changes in the right places (update the graphics [seriously, Mario doesn't even jump to kill koopas], make it longer, string levels together w/ save points between them, don't mess with the mechanics much besides making it clearer that you're not doing well on a stage and are going to fail at this rate), it would be one of the very rare smash hits for the edutainment genre. I could see Nintendo releasing an updated and improved version every decade or so, and profiting handsomely since nobody else makes these kinds of games anymore, and even fewer get so many elements of edutainment mechanics right.
Depends on the student (just look at the player demographics of Mario games vs. violent zombie games), although I don't think that would fly in almost any school nowadays. Mario is a much less openly violent game. It's overall structure is better at educating students from a zero-experience start, as well. For example, in MTT, they show you exact fingers for any given key. You can get through most of the first level with hunt and peck, which means less frustration for students, and a better likelihood of them wanting to play more instead of give up. Meanwhile in TotD, you're lucky to make it through the first level at all as a typical kid typist IIRC (it's been a long time, but I played TotD a few years after MTT, and couldn't get to the annoying imp+golem boss - I just beat him on Dreamcast with a lightgun instead). I actually think MTT is one of the best educational games ever created - it's thoroughly teaching the skills, but makes it feel so much like a real game, and starts from a realistic skill level to allow anyone to pick it up.
Mario Teaches Typing was the keyboarding portion of the generalized computer classes I had in middle school. Never was there more interest in a subject than that.
You mean this system, the one ayurvedic proponents espouse, which categorize fish, onions, garlic, scallions, leeks, chives, and mushrooms as harmful foods?
There's a good chance that the hash just made her feel a lot better, both with the nausea and liveliness, and it didn't do anything at all to help the cancer. The first two effects are pretty well proven.
I wasn't against the idea, I was pointing out the flaw in being against using a waste product in an efficient way under the assumption that the AC was misinterpreting the situation rather than being a troll (likely).
I don't see where you're getting the $1000 figure, but I'm guessing it's for the enterprise drives (extrapolation from current ~$1000 prices for 1TB drives). If it is, it's totally a reasonable price - 2.8 gbps is massive throughput - even for a 2TB drive meant for servers instead of your desktop.
Canon sells the EOS 60D under their professional section, for $900. The second highest, the EOS 5D Mark III, is $3,400, and the highest, the EOS-1D X, is $6,800. Even moving to their most expensive non-EOS camcorder, the XF305, you're talking $8000.
In sum, if you think professional DSLR's all cost more than this contraption, you haven't gone looking. Most professional photographers don't drop $20k+ on a Hollywood-level camcorder, and a huge number don't go beyond the ballpark of $6,800 for a DSLR.

That's only true if you ignore the slight glaze you get from wax.

It's the bitwise rotate left - they don't have a hardware instruction for it.

It's nearly double-decade abandonware, and they'd be using it for educational purposes - I don't think they'd have much to worry about.

I'm shocked reputable scientists haven't studied it more. /sarcasm

Even the 7D is $1,500, still well below the cost of this setup.
