The rich, say the top 1% of the pop. pay approx 37 % of all the income tax in the country. The top 20% pay about 85% of the income taxes. The bottom 50% of the pop. pay no income tax.
Can we put that in terms of what percentage of money currently in circulation is controlled by each group? How much of our money is in the hands of that top 1%? Is it more than 37%? Less? If it's more, they should be paying accordingly. If it's less, I almost feel bad for them. I'm betting it's more. I'm betting it's more than the remainder of the top 20%. Hell, I'm betting it's more than the remaining 99%; you seem to know, so please, fill us in.
Realize that the bottom 50% of the population either have no income on which to be taxed or don't make enough to survive, let alone to pay taxes and survive. I was part of that group for 5 years or so and let me tell you, until you've been there, you can shut the god damned fuck up. Now that I'm well off, I have absolutely no issues with the amount of taxes I pay; I know it's, in part, going to support people who went through hard times like I did. If at least part of my tax money is going toward keeping that lower 50% from becoming desperate enough to shoot me in the street and take everything I have, you know what? I'm ok with that.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics; I trust none of the three. This is why.
So they use the NIC exploit to gain access to the system, then flash the NIC and remove the tools. Seems pretty related, to me; and I'm certain we'll see it happen in the next year.
In response to your comment, I've created the Small Electronic Component System Interface, which is 100% compatible with the Small Computer System Interface as it uses the same cables, pinouts, protocols, and voltages.
Now we can all have our SECSI interfaces. In fact, your SCSI interface is now a SECSI interface and your SCSI cable is not a SECSI cable. And "sexy" is the proper pronunciation.
That said, choosy moms pronounce GIF as "jif"; they also annoy me.
But... If only the system knows which option is for which candidate, all you can verify is that your paper and the database have the same option; you can NOT verify that the option listed belongs to the candidate you intended to vote for.
I only looked at the Dell because it's exactly the resolution and size I'm looking for and...
It's almost 2 grand.
GP's point still stands. I recently threw out a 13" CRT that did 1600x1200 with no problems whatsoever; it was 10 years old. For those of you who can't figure it out, that's a 10.667% lower pixel count, but 72.144 more pixels per inch, linearly than the 27" iMac (1080p) in front of me right now. The mac is 81.702dpi, the CRT was 153.846dpi. Why can't I have that dpi on this screen? Fuck, I'll settle for 150, so... 23.5" wide screen would be 3525 pixels wide. Make it 1983 pixels tall (maybe 1984) for 16:9 or 2203 (or 2204) for 16:10 and I'll be ecstatic about it. Even better, give me a roughly 160dip display (163.404dpi to simply double the resolution of my current screen -- funny because it's literally not found anywhere) at 3840x2160, so 1080p can scale cleanly on it, while still giving me 4x the screen real-estate, and I'll buy 2; I've always wanted 8 displays.
Of course SMS worked, it's transmitted along with control messages, at the lowest common bitrate the phone and tower can negotiate, while voice and data tend to REQUIRE a much higher bitrate.
There is a finite amount of space in each control message that is not used, something like 170 characters, I don't recall off the top of my head, but basically there will be several control messages sent and received between texts, even for the fastest texters sending the shortest texts.
Given that your phone only receives a control message from the tower once ever 2 to 5 seconds, if someone were sending you dozens of messages per minute, they'd be coming in faster than you could receive them.
Make sense now? If not, I suggest you look into how GSM, CDMA, and TDMA work; they're all very similar in how they handle SMS.
The difference here is, when email traffic becomes too heavy, you can get a fatter pipe.
SMS piggybacks on periodic control messages sent between phones and towers; there's a very finite amount of bandwidth available there. When SMS traffic becomes too heavy, the pipe just clogs.
Yes, I'm quite aware that SATA adapters exist. In fact, I asked you where you found a SCSI or Parallel to SATA adapter in my first reply to you. You never answered.
Nobody (save for 802.11n chipset manufacturers, but we're talking software-driven radio here, which I'll address later) produces hardware based on an incomplete specification and sells it to the masses, mostly for fear of being sued to shit when the spec changes and your hardware fails.
You can get away with it in software because, well, you can issue an update for damned near free.
That said, no browser fully implements HTML5 at the moment and, as posted here yesterday, the W3C is urging people NOT to use HTML5 in production. I do web development full-time and intend to ignore that almost entirely; simple enough to develop an XHTML page and stack HTML5 on top of it so it degrades gracefully on browsers that don't support it, or if the spec changes.
It works the same way for 802.11n chipsets, as well. A draft 802.11n chipset, which is a software-controlled radio, can have a software update pushed to it. It also has 802.11g and 802.11b (possible 802.11a if it supports the band) to fall back on, so it won't fail completely if the spec changes.
It's really somewhat impossible to develop a completely new interface with a completely new connector and say "oh, we can release before the spec is finalized and fall back on the previous version if the spec changes" because there's no previous version of your new technology. So yeah, I'm pretty much saying you don't have a pre-spec SATA controller, fucktard.
SATA 2 and 3 were put into production pre-spec and that's fine, they had a previous version to fall back on if the spec changed. 1.0, released in 2003, did not.
I've backed myself up with sources. I'm closing up the Troll Diner for the night unless you can do the same; I've got some HTML5 to write.
Your claim was that you were using hardware you bought before Tivo existed. That means before 1999.
There were no SATA prototype boards in 1999.
What I bought 10 years ago is irrelevant, but I'll answer anyway. I bought components to build a high-end desktop with 2 dual-tuner capture cards that handled MPEG-2 encoding in hardware. It had no problem powering the 3 high-res displays on my desk AND a TV as a 4th display, simultaneously, and didn't bog down while recording 4 shows because it did the encoding in hardware. I could playlist what I wanted to watch as I worked and it would play back just fine in a window on one of my 3 screens. I could also playlist whatever my fiancee wanted to watch as I worked and it'd play back just fine on the TV. Fuck, I could even do both.

I would have put "admin!admin"

When is the last time you used one hand to operate a netbook?
At least twice a day.
If you consent to playing russian roulette with me, then change your mind after I pull the trigger, yes you should have to live with it.
If you decide to rob a bank, then change your mind after you take off with a bag of cash, yes, you should have to live with it.
If you consent to fucking me, then change your mind after we do the act, yes, you should have to live with it.
nice attempt at a strawman, though.
What an idiot?
What about my an idiot?

That's actually the proper pronunciation...
"Larry Boucher intended SCSI to be an acronym all along. Pronounced "sexy." That didn't quite happen."
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI
"oh wait their lying in they're motto too."
That doesn't seem right...
Cutting back on redundant departments, are they?
Mod +6, Fucking Hillarious and +7, Truth.
Yes, and but I did had some karma to burn.
I was going for funny... Oh well, got karma to burn, I guess.
Portable girls are the best. The larger units that just sit there on the couch are nowhere near as convenient as the ones you can bring with you.
Then again, the couchtop units are easier to get away from when you need to.

Really? In many years on /. this is my first grammar nazi post, so I'll go easy and not mention the fact that you started your sentence with "And".

You do realize that I was referring to the units used to measure your storage capacity, right?
My phone has more storage than that; did you perhaps make a typo?
