It's not like there's no rape imagery in anything Occidental. Plenty of the cop shows have rape as part of the story line, as have soap operas and other shows. You have movies like "The Accused", "Rob Roy", "Requiem of a Dream", and so on. And rape fantasies are common among women. That doesn't mean they really want to be raped, but it's a fantasy, just like a movie or a video game.
They don't know enough to keep their computer secure, but they're able to track down who screwed up their computer? I doubt they'd even recognize who did it.
Publish some sort of botnet remover, but don't send it to botnet computers. Someone else will.
I want a car PC. GPS/Nav, ~7" screen, music, bluetooth for my cell, rear-view cam, voice recognition, browser if possible (at least if near Wi-Fi, ideally with 3G if my phone supports it), more. For $100, this might serve as a good basis for it.
I'm not looking to compile code on it, play FPSes, etc., so the specs don't have to be impressive.
A problem with pebble beds is that the pebbles, by definition, create more waste and waste that's hard to reprocess, although it is certainly safer than some other forms. Also, in the most prominent test plant, there was a radiation release. It'll never go critical, I think, but it is possible for the pebble manipulation hardware to jam and thus cause problems.
Some of the CANDU designs seem particularly nice from a safety standpoint, the only concern being that as I understand it, weapons-grade material can be made from them. Not an issue with the U.S., of course, but then you have the Iranians, etc. making CANDU reactors for civilian purposes but it also helping them develop weapons.
Since they just display the most recent imagery that their providers have, the issue isn't with Google
Except that Microsoft Virtual Earth and (I think) Mapquest have at times had significantly better or newer imagery for the same location. I've actually created KML files where I've taken an image from another mapper and made it an image in the KML because GE was out of date and didn't show the roads or was in lower resolution.
One can hire planes to take pictures, it's not all satellites. If it was, they would have more uniform resolution imagery.
Example with Mr. Fusion: We can't do Mr. Fusion because the amount of energy that goes into creating the conditions for fusion outweigh the amount of energy produced.
Nuclear weapons would like a word with you.
Controlling the energy produced is the key problem.
Stealther did the same thing, but started a heck of a lot faster and could even delete downloads. It doesn't work completely with 3.1 though. Clearing the history for periods of time is a nice touch for those who forget to engage the private mode.
No, I misread the original linked chart which was for a couple of days, not the time period visible in your chart. Regardless, stock drops could be due to other causes (like our crappy economy); unexpectedly low sales are more direct evidence of something being amiss with a specific product.
You're kidding right? Consoles suck, they are built from the ground up with DRM in mind. There is nothing more locked down than the big three consoles.
But piracy apparently isn't quite as rampant, so they're not pulling this interference with resales, nor are the game developers themselves putting unremovable DRM stuff on my system. I buy and sell games via Amazon and the like, so it can be pretty cheap for me to own a game for a while.
I don't see any plummeting of the stock. I will say, however, Spore is getting slammed in the reviews, largely for the DRM, and apparently isn't going to sell as much as EA had projected/hoped for as a result.
Is there anything as odious on the console side? PC gaming already seemed to be on the decline as consoles get more general purpose.
But we've had EITC for thirty years, this would just be more of it. So by your argument McCain, Bush, et al are also Marxists, since they aren't talking about getting rid of it.
It's just silly labeling, trying to tar someone with a negative label over some trivial issue.
I like the trailer idea, but wonder if it could be made so integrated it acts more like a slightly longer car than a trailer. That way you can park it more easily, etc. You would want a reversing cam so you wouldn't forget you're working with the longer vehicle, etc., or perhaps an overview cam system like the Infiniti EX35's.
Most of the time, EULAs are unenforceable because they break the standard of what is a contract.
Should be, yes. Are unenforceable, no.
Contracts require an overt accept like a signature and a quid-pro-quo structure which EULAs don't have.
Signature is not required. Consider, for example, sitting down at a restaurant; the contract that you will pay for what you order is implied. The relevant contractual issues are "a meeting of the minds"; i.e. that it is agreed on what is being exchanged, followed by "an exchange of value", the actual trading of items from each party. The problems with EULAs are that the apparent meeting of the minds occurred when I bought the product, and the exchange of value took place then too. EULAs try to change the terms of agreement after the contract is already agreed to and the value has been exchanged.
In Apple's case, they're stating the contractual terms before you pay, so they follow standard contract law.

Seems like you run an interesting risk, doing this, of discovering fathers or are not the biological father of their children.
I work for the Department of Redundancy Department.
Which one?
Well, the upside is you'd have no trouble getting it hard.
They say that happens to lots of computers.
I'd say there are some large gasbags here on earth...
I'm just a Puritan American and have no clue what "red light" means.
There are a lot a drivers around here like that.
Nah, they would be declared a terrorist nation, invaded, and all its citizens would be shipped off to Guantanamo.
Problem solved!
Or get a hardware geek to "pimp your phone" to give it a beefier vibrate.
Or combine it with a Hitachi Magic Wand?
I'd warn him his girlfriend might steal it, but this is slashdot...

Anyone else having problems going to it right now? I'm getting 500 errors
Wow, that's a lot of errors. I probably would have given up after 9 or 10 myself.

Department of redundancy department much?
We have several such departments.
Offering to make a CD backup of the collection of any user who complains might be doable, though.
If you RFTA, they found for certain people it made almost no change, suggesting said person had "perfect" proportions.

IANAL, but I am anal.
Copyright cops would be the sound bite to really get the youth vote out to the polls this election, and who would win then? Who?
Someone who might investigate the myriad allegations against the Bush administration, that's who.
