I'm sorry I accused you of being a troll. If I looked closer at your first post I would have seen that your post is not in the same format as the traditional shill/troll that happens here.
And to further the discussion that was your very first post, and probably your last post.
Why even use accounts? Why not post this stuff as AC? As an AC there is plausible deny-ability, you could be a long term lurker, there would be no way to track how long you have been a member of the community.
When you use an account all someone has to do is look at your posting history and say "Yep, nother fucking shill."
The ability to calculate risk has less of a genetic route than being genetically a good driver.
The things that make us good drivers are also the things that make us hard to prey upon by animals. Good reaction times, being able to pick up visual clues quickly, finding alternatives paths.
Judging risk on the other hand is a learned behavior based upon experience.
Even though I really like to drive fast I still think what you are proposing is stupid.
There are a lot of stupid people on the road, I would not trust them at the speeds I would like to drive. The faster you go the more likely you are going to either die or kill someone else if an accident occurs so unfortunately speeding is not a victimless crime.
Also regarding your less traffic signs helps with lowering driver crashes, yes that works at low speeds in towns, not while flying down the highway at 100mph. If you are driving 100mph you need to know what is coming up so you can slow down in time.
Yes, but if you had read further you would have seen why they only recommend that you eat it for 21 days.
Their low dietary fiber content could cause constipation in some, so they were also known as "Meals Requiring Enemas","Meals Refusing to Exit",[23] "Meals Refusing to Excrete", or "Massive Rectal Expulsions".
When I say they should discuss the issues, I mean just that. Talk about solutions
Don't get me wrong. I'm not voting for Romney. I'm not planning on voting for Obama either.
The Democrats discuss the issues, the Republicans tell you that if you don't vote for them then not only are you not patriotic, but that also there will be a Thousand Years of Darkness.
Yes, because crackers / hackers, in general, break into large accounting firms, and (this is the kicker) instead of quietly modifying the servers to send large payments to an account outside of the country, they steal the tax returns of a presidential candidate, and publicly black-mail him
Per the summary it was a physical theft.
The claim was made in a post on the Pastebin site on Sunday that alleged that Romney's federal tax returns were taken from the offices of PriceWaterhouse Coopers in Frankin, Tenn., on August 25 by someone who snuck into the building and made copies of the document.
I never have heard of a true end of life date for Curiosity, and the Cassini probe is already beyond it's initial mission and now is in an extended mission.
Also depending on the final parking position of Opportunity it may stop moving, but it could still send out useful data.
Electrolyte leaked onto the motherboard from the base of the capacitor or vented from the top, visible as crusty rust-like brown deposits. The petroleum-based adhesive that is sometimes used to secure the capacitors to the board can be confused with leaked electrolyte; electrolyte is usually wet, adhesive is dry. The glue is a thick elastic covering usually of a sandy yellow color, which darkens (towards black) with heat. A dark brown crust up the side of a capacitor is invariably glue, not electrolyte. The glue is itself sometimes harmful, and can corrode leads and tracks covered by it, causing leakage current or an open circuit; it is not required and can safely be removed. The presence of black-colored glue is a reliable sign that the capacitor has overheated, due either to internal failure or to inadequate ventilation.
There are a lot of people who have done things that the US is not happy about, a lot of those people are in the technology field, they may not want to move to a country where they could be easily extradited.
So you are saying that the British East India Company was a conglomeration of private businesses with employees constantly jumping ship from one private business to the next?
That sounds closer to Lloyds of London rather than the British East India Company.

One of my annoyances with Linux is that sometimes after installing a program, I can find no way to actually run the program.
It's not in my menu's anywhere, nor is it on the desktop, where do I go looking for it?
Was going to post as AC, but hell I actually would like to know the answer to this.
And to further the discussion that was your very first post, and probably your last post.

So the question comes up
Is this person a shill? Paid by an astroturfing company.
Or
Is this person a paid troll? Paid by /. to generate views.
Or
Is this person just a troll?
Yes, but throwing your hands up in the air and declaring yourself incompetent is so much easier though.
Btw, have they ever included a transcript for video submissions? I know I have bitched about it on many occasions.

Hate to break it to Sandra, but that's the usual speed in many parts of Texas.
As well as Wyoming, only state where I have been passed while going over 100mph.
Because they build more than one at a time.

My step-dad was a garbage man and would be constantly pulling electronics out of the trash to fix.
It was good to learn how to fix electronics that were already broken rather than breaking stuff that already worked.

Damnit!
The only hit for Global Strategic Whiskey reserve linked back to this story.
We need to start a Kickstarter or something here, THIS IS IMPORTANT!!
isnt gaming kinda one of the biggest things keeping a ton of people on windows?
Bigger is MS Office, but they are getting squeezed in that market also.
MS's long term growth looks to be negative.
Most likely Intel has the easiest drivers to work with, both in driver structure and business responsiveness.
It will most probably be easier for Valve to help AMD and/or NVIDIA with their experience from working with Intel.
I haven't looked into the rumors of a steambox, but who is to say it won't be upgradable?
Perhaps it will be more of a loose set of standards than an unchanging appliance.
Ok, after a five second google, that looks like I may be right.

Yea, looked it up after I posted, it's called something else, but can only be done under certain circumstances so doesn't really apply.
They should get with the Taiwanese, they found a way to make PC's leak petroleum products.

Kim Dotcom is a better example than Assange.
I guess I must have missed something.

Not sure why this is being labeled as offtopic, it is a legitimate concern.
that will hop from one company to another hoping to strike it obscenely rich?
Depends on how liberally their Restraint of Trade clauses are interpreted.
Also, no non-compete contracts.
If there are enforced non-compete contracts then there will be no community of individuals to hire to create a "Silicon Valley".
