You mean the people we've paid to slave away for next to nothing don't feel bad about stealing from us. Now there's a shock. Next thing you know somebody will say that having 11 million people in the US being exploited by corporate interests has consequences.
At what point does the free market come in and whomp on China? Oh, wait never because they're the ones that are supposed to be putting American workers in their place.
Um, I doubt that very much. As long as you hold citizenship you're going to be getting some perks, if only in terms of consular service and possible military coverage. Because of the way that the US tax code works in many parts of the world you don't even start paying taxes until you've hit a pretty good standard of living as far as the US taxes go.
Citation required. That's not something that happens in practice. Adults are supposed to know better. If they choose to do otherwise, then they should be punished. Now there may be some wiggle room if the adult doesn't know that the other one is still a minor, but in general the adult knows better.
It's that sort of blame the victim crap that perpetuates the sexual abuse of minors. The idea that it's anybody's fault other than the adult is just complete and utter bullshit.
How recent? My 1tb disks have had no problems at all. I haven't had any trouble with them in years, I just like having the 5 year warranty. To date I haven't had any problems.
Probably because traditional hard disks are still the cheapest and the largest and not by a small margin either. At some point they'll get to the point where they've done all they can, but the size of the HDD at this point is so far ahead of what most people need that it won't be for quite a while that we need something better.
Eh, just install Linux. You can then install a Cron script to randomly reboot the system at odd intervals. Bonus points if you make it see how important the work you're doing is and crash after you've been more than 10 minutes without saving.
That would be reasonable if it weren't for the way things are set up. First off the media companies claim that they're selling you something. Then they claim that it's a license, which only applies to the copy they provide you with. Which isn't legal either, once you've paid for it you own it. Which means that if you want to create a thousand copies that's your right, just as long as you don't try and distribute them you're OK.
On top of that they don't give out refunds for a good number of things, meaning that if you've paid for the copy and it doesn't work because of their bullshit DRM then too bad, the won't be giving out a refund because in their view they don't have to.
Perhaps if they seriously want to discourage piracy they should themselves be within the limits of the law, before casting accusations at others.
Media companies can't have it both ways, either you're buying a license in which case you can download it later if the original copy is destroyed or you're buying a disc in which case you can back it up in a separate location. Media companies can't say that you don't own the disc and that you don't own a copy either.
Or in other words, if media companies wouldn't behave like jack asses perhaps people would be more inclined to pony up for the copy.
Yes, but we're supposed to have learned something from it. Rather than repeat the same racist, bigoted bullshit that we supposedly over come. The whole war on terror thing is terrifyingly similar to things that were done only a few decades earlier. Perhaps not purposely constructing curriculum to convince people of things which are known to be wrong is a bad idea. There's enough BS in the coursework without doing so on purpose.
The problem is that most Americans aren't critical thinkers, and it's up to those with some capacity to fix things so that the information is at least accurate and as balanced as possible.
That's the thing if you're delusional enough just about any opinion can become indistinguishable from fact. Such as death panels in the health care bill or Iraq being a war about terrorism, both are demonstrably false, but a bunch of nut jobs hang to it anyways to the bitter end.
Not really, it's a lot cheaper to just use open source text books for most things. Granted things like science won't do so well with that, but many things like math and English don't really need to be particularly up to date. Last I checked an open source book cost something like $23 for a print edition.
Heh, or you can buy one of these: Zeo personal sleep coach. It doesn't solve the problem, but it does help figure out what's causing the trouble and track how much you're having. Certainly eliminated the anxiety I had about lying in bed awake.
I haven't had a chance to try it, but SRWare Iron is basically Chrome without the privacy problems. Or at least that's their goal, it basically just strips a lot of the Google stuff out. SRWare Iron
And precisely how much of the work for h.264 is being accelerated by the video card? Theora has been gaining traction in that area in recent times. Expecting it to keep up performance wise with a codec that has hardware acceleration is kind of silly.
Sigh, Firefox has fewer issues with memory than the competition. Chromium definitely isn't going to beat Firefox at that since they do a separate process for each, and the numbers I've seen when/. does an article on it were pretty clear that Firefox owns the competition by that metric. It uses more to start, but it doesn't really ever exceed somewhere around 250mb under normal conditions. And you can always throw in the memory trim option to cut down on unused memory blocks.
Indeed, but do most people really need more than 4 cores at this point? Software for the home user still hasn't really caught up with quad core at this point, it'd be a bit silly to put out a dual quad core board for that market. OTOH that'd be just dandy for the server market.
Right people don't want to do so in general. However most people want to know that they can take it to a friends and they can do so if need be. Plus most people do want a custom option or two here or there, they probably don't want to constantly have to fiddle to get the thing to work. Which Apple has done a pretty good job of gutting. People do like a bit of control over what they do, they just don't want to be forced to fiddle to get the damned thing to work. That should not be confused with a desire to not ever fiddle.
That's not analogous at all. I don't recall the US government sanctioning suicide bombers or intentionally trying to kill civilians. Nor do I recall the DoD having contractors set up IEDs along roads. When the US bombs things it's done generally by air and when things go according to plan the damage is limited to military targets. Yes things do go wrong from time to time, but it's not generally the practice of the US military to intentionally target civilians.
The Russians had an 80% success rate on their 5 tries. And nations do bomb testing underwater. It's not a great option, but a small one placed properly probably would cause the rocks to cave in sealing up the whole.
I'm not sure why nuclear physicists, unless they want a nuclear solution, but physicists for a problem like this isn't really that unreasonable. Physics definitely deals with fluid dynamics and oil being a liquid, there you go.
I thought the point of this was that now other developers have a new toy to play with. Perhaps create their own games using the engine or mod and extend it into something that's hardly recognizable at all. By any measure what they've provided is indeed very generous.

But since correlation isn't causation you'd have no idea as to whether or not the commenter is a "fucking moron."

No, that word would be "Dude" plus it doesn't get you kicked out of anywhere.

Despite the fact that many children swear like fucking sailors? I've always wonder what sort of fucking wanker wrote those rules.
Fuck.

Same experience exactly.

History is never unbiased, that being said specifically writing it to be biased in such an ignorant ham fisted manner is just disgusting.
