Yeah, or "24." Anyone else think it brings the realism of these shows below even what they are already? Or are most people stupid enough to believe that you can "zoom in" to 320x200 video with infinite resolution?
I use all of those, mind, but I realize for common use that tunneling those over a wireless connection would be too much maintenance for all the people using the router.
Anyone who uses psychologically altering substances needs to be able to set up containments for themselves beforehand. Effects should be known and dosages should be appropriate.
I think laws should be like this: You can use a drug, but you are still responsible for your actions, even if you are incapacitated. Just like it goes for German autobahns: You can go over 130km/h (some have gone to 300km/h on various stretches), but if you get in an accident it is automatically your fault. If there are reasonable grounds to believe you hurt someone else and drug metabolites are found in your body, then you are automatically guilty of any crimes committed.
But the cloud of mystery/propaganda only hurts more than it helps, IMO. It artificially keeps drug prices high since they are forced into a black market, which criminals take advantage of to finance their activities. Remove prohibition legislation, and criminals will have a STRONGLY weakened revenue stream. Ask any legal-drug company what happens to their revenue on a drug when its patent expires.

1. Story posted about $SECURITY_PROTOCOL being broken on $BROKEN_DATE at $SEVERITY 2.

Comments ensue about how ridiculous and complex those impractical solutions are, getting modded down/up on a 50/50 basis 4. Actual common-to-do, easy to implement solutions, like the WPA2 in linksys routers, are not discussed or modded 5.

Put short, wires are not a solution, no encryption protocol is flawless, the risks/rewards of wireless should be known and the technology should be used accordingly. But improvements in protocol and advancements in technology, especially relatively easy to implement ones, should be emphasized.
So what is your great motivator that you gain no pleasure from, I'm curious.
I think there is a difference from physiological pleasure and a feeling of happiness or contentment. Yes, some people obtain that through money, others through helping people, others through hobbies, etc.
By your argument, the enjoyment that comes from reading a book is the same as the pleasure that comes from drugs, is that right? It acts on the same mechanisms in the brain. Really, it's an activity, and as long as someone is not hurting others then it's Stay Out of my Fucking Way territory.
Mod parent up. I don't know why it was modded flamebait (or, maybe it's just a reflection of what the poster is trying to point out.)
Idealism ends in an oven. Without balance, the world perverses itself.
These tenets are what should really be taught. Unfortunately, with the teachers being invested in the status quo and their own ideas, the war is likely to intensify.
(continued, accidentally hit submit)...Google is going the "fuck this" route by offering everything with minimal client GUI, if any. I like this approach. Basically using little but evolved HTML 3 and DHTML (that's really all a web-based powerpoint is: forms and client-server DHTML, essentially evolutions of 1995 technologies.)
With a nonbloated web browser, even a 486 could manhandle such web applications with ease. Unfortunately, browsers aren't like that these days and a lot of AJAX applications look like their writers need to take basic CS classes on big O notation.
About that 5%. Yeah it should have been more talked about than that, as often useless features from the beginning are implemented that end up sitting around as deprecated code after a while. This creates management difficulties.
After having played around with the RC1 for vista, the essence of this article seems to come to light. Vista is very much a disappointment to me; it seems a polished (somewhat disagreeably in certain areas) Windows XP. A somewhat-disagreeably-polished Windows XP that will soon need more than 1GB of RAM to run smoothly at all, consume more laptop battery life, more disk space, more CPU resources, and steal power from applications for several hundred bucks.
Bare bones Windows XP with the Fisher Price turned off and Windows Desktop Search, Windows Defender, etc. installed can do most of what Vista can, without DRM cludgeware interfering with everything.
I bet if you showed a novice the five-year old Mac OS X to Vista side-by-side, he or she would think OS X the newer OS. It just does so much better a job at visual integration and visual effects than Vista does. I find XP a better OS than OS X in power usability. However, vista seems just so cludged together compared to XP, with nonsensical rearrangment of visual elements galore.
That's a fun thing about language. It is ever-changing. Why can't funnily become a word, for instance?
I also find it funnily funny that the accuser was advocating misuse of the word, for those who didn't pick up. Using lose in the wrong context is just as bad as using loose in the wrong context, even though the latter occurrence happens more often.
Funny thing is, I was reading about water poisoning when doing some medical research a few weeks ago. It was a condition that I didn't even know existed (yeah, I knew you could faint if your body didn't have enough electrolytes, but death?)
It vas a Joke! Seriously, some peeple heir haff no sense of humor.
Anyway, I don't think this disappearance of penguins can really be attributed to much but the ever increasingly rapid climate fluctuations in the Antarctic region. Whether one wants to put the blame on human activity or natural causes is entirely up to them.
Personally, I think humans play at least a little bit of a role in their demise. I also want to know whether Zonk posted this because he legitimately cares about penguins, or just for the sake of the double entendre.
Sorry, this just doesn't jive with me. The reason why Microsoft is so widespread is because they cater to the demands of customers. A lot of the features in office are there not because of joe schmoe home user, but because of business demands.
Lots of things in apple's OS are nonsensical and resource intensive. For all the apple trolls who say that apples are easy to use, well, maybe they are for beginning users, but frustratingly difficult for anyone who wants to perform keyboard navigation or some such. It's just the layout of the OS that makes it less usable.
As for the "quality" thing, I don't buy that either. Because of the problem of having to work on many different machine configurations instead of one cult-dominated design, Microsoft software will crash more, due to simple probability.
And please don't use the campbell soup analogy; it could be used on apple too.

A lot of who provide many of the things we use.
I use all of those, mind, but I realize for common use that tunneling those over a wireless connection would be too much maintenance for all the people using the router.
Really, I like writing. I think a term paper provides a convenient package by which to express what one has learned over the course of a semester.
Anyone plagiarizing should not be in class anyway.

All bullshit trolling/smarminess aside, this sounds like a really bad idea, for multiple, obvious reasons.

Then, a few weeks later, this happens.
The new excel allows 1048576 rows.
Thing is, lots of DBs I work with have many more rows than that.
And quick, easy manipulation of datasets sometimes is only possible in excel.
Nah well, 1M is better than 64K.
When would you NOT feel uneasy as an Israeli or Iranian in, say, the past 100 or even 1000 years?
Mod parent up.
With more kooks in control of nukes, the higher the chance of someone pushing the red button.
For anyone who is curious as to how the world would end up after a nuclear war, watch the movie Threads. It should lay any and all questions to rest.
Think of it this way:
One small step for MAN, one giant leap for manKIND.
Could be interpreted as man is capable of much more than walking on the moon, but in the process of doing so, mankind is propelled forward greatly.
+1, German.

Well you haven't been to several major metric-using countries then.
Sure, the spaces are used. But more often, the period and comma are reversed.

Yeah, if 4% of automobile expeditions resulted in deaths, everyone would be dead.
PATHETIC.
I agree with the tag.
What's next, finger weights for chronic typists?
That really is funny. Divest yourself from the steve jobs cult for a second.
Here's a curveball: Why is MS a bigger and more successful company than apple?
Someone has their shitty and not shitty mixed up.
