That applies to pretty much any sport you care to name. Part of the problem there is that what you see on the camera isn't always what happened, for various reasons the depiction on camera can be misleading in a way that one on the field wouldn't fall for. Other times the camera just has more precision than what a person can actually see.
The flaws will remain permanently, or at least until we decide that it's OK for football to be played and judged by robots.
As opposed to back in the 40s when such mistakes were only known to the players and probably not even all of them. On the whole the technology has made it a lot easier to find problem officials and deal with them than in the past. Granted the mistakes are still left unfixed in most cases.
That's a false dilemma. The observed effect is primarily caused by people that deliberately vote for politicians that work to undermine the government. You definitely can have big good government, but it requires that the voters reward politicians that act in their interest rather than punishing them.
Also, sunshine laws and bulletproofing the FOIA process would do wonders. For all the whining by the right about the evils of government, I don't see any particularly compelling evidence that corporations or the people in general are any more trust worthy.
Not true, Backblaze and Crashplan are both quite affordable. They both cost about $60 a year or less with longer plans and they're well worth it. Personally, I like Crashplan as there's fewer restrictions and the ability to back up locally. What's more they're both pretty much idiot proof.
Yes, but sometimes there are bad batches and the shorter the warranty the more likely it is that you'll lose a disk without getting a replacement. Personally, I had a lot of WD disks going south, turned out to be dirty power AFAICT.
Seagate did have issues with a batch of 1tb disks a few years back. I remember Maxtor having issues with some of their 8.5gb drives years back.
You're missing the point, they're small, light, durable and cheap. They also provide bare minimum performance to handle the web and email.
This whole attitude here is one of the main reasons why their not doing well these days. Granted there's a lot of marketing that's gone into convincing people that they need more power and that MS has been leaning hard on manufacturers, but still.
Except that there's no reason to have a pure 64bit system at this point. Loading everything as 64bit to avoid loading up 32bit libraries is just plain silly.
If you genuinely are only loading them for a few apps, there's absolutely no reason why they can't be unloaded when not in use. In practice though you end up using more memory with 64bit programs whether or not there's a perceptible difference in performance. And if you're loading more 32bit programs then you're probably going to be saving enough RAM to make it worthwhile.
I'm not really surprised that some idiot opted to mod me down, there's a lot of folks around here that know less about computing than they let on.
Why would you want a 64-bit browser? With the exception of a couple areas you're not likely to see any improvements in performance and ultimately you'll end up using even more RAM than you were previously.
The problem is that as long as MPEG LA expects to be paid for use of the standard you're going to have a two tiered net the way that it used to be with Flash. Granted most folks would have a license via MS, but it's a really shitty situation to have to either a licensing fee to use the web or violate somebody's patents.
Were any website owners previously being sued for content that was posted by third parties? I don't recall that happening prior to the DMCA except in cases where the service was set up specifically for piracy.
Additionally, the court system does have requirements for what can be considered infringement and there is such a thing as innocent infringement. The DMCA might have made it explicit, but that's basically just a sugar pill for the icky medicine.
Right, because obviously nobody would redistribute GPL code without complying with the requirements. Give me a few minutes whilst I laugh at you for missing the cases where that's happened. Probably the first one to pop to mind was Pornview a graphics viewer that ultimately did just that.
I spent a month on a jury dealing with a multimillion dollar squabble between a developer and a contractor. Personally, if it had been up to me, I would have taken the money from both of them and awarded it to somebody else completely, but that's not how trials worked.
By the end I thoroughly hated all parties involved.
That's not as strange as it might sound. I used to work security at an undisclosed location and the cameras would often times not be working properly. Either they'd be frozen or they couldn't move or they just out right didn't work at all.
CCTV is only as effective as the monitoring and maintenance provides for.
Doesn't really matter, even if you were able to buy the same firearms that the military uses, you'd still be at a severe disadvantage. Firearms help, but you're not going to be buying RPGs, ordnance or have access to the kind of surveillance equipment that the military industrial complex provides the government.
Afghanistan is a bad example. Logistically it's a nightmare to conduct operations in there, especially for the US. The US doesn't have guaranteed bases in the region and as such has to keep on the good side of some pretty questionable characters.
Strategy is what arm chair generals think wins wars, logistics is what actually wins them. Take a look at the Art of War and it's almost completely about the logistical aspects of ware. Granted a lot of it would be considered a war crime in modern day, but the fact remains that the strategies are as devastatingly effective now as they were when the book was written.
The bigger concern is that despite women being just as likely to be engaged in domestic violence as men, we needed a woman specific law to deal with the problem.
There are going to be exceptions, but in my experience management is almost always worthless. Yes, being a manager is tough, it's supposed to be why there's more money in it, but in practice you find a lot of cronyism, incompetence, nepotism and general sleaziness at the top.
Well run outfits will promote from within if at all possible and only hire out when they genuinely have to. In practice though, well run companies are hard to find.
Doesn't mean they aren't going to try to work with 1 fewer. I remember working an understaffed job a while back and they still managed to figure out how to eliminate an extra position. It didn't work well and stressed out the employees, but they were able to cut the position.
I'm guessing they'll try that here, even if they do have to give up and hire somebody back.

Pssst, you forgot to log out.

That's not usually the site's fault, that's usually legislation like COPPA which makes it untenable.

It's fundamentally no different than doing it to Jews or black people, there's no genetic sequence to identify those people either.
As for your notion, I know precisely what eugenics is. I take it you haven't noticed how it's been used in the past.
Yeah, because there's nothing at all wrong with eugenics...

VLC is my preferred DVD player. I rip all my discs to ISO file and VLC has no problem playing the files as if they were real discs.
That being said, VLC does have quite a bit of functionality that I don't understand.

I saw a crystal skull personally, and like SirGarlton said it's basically just chance. Sort of like when you see a face in a cliff.
So in Fx parlance, that's what like version 11 and 12 respectively?
