I have that already silly. Antivirus 2006, 2007,2008,2009, 2010, Antivirus scanner, Virus scan 2010, etc, etc, all running at the same time cause you can never be to safe. Each scan only takes fraction of a second, finds something every time and I pay whatever one found it to remove it. Strange that they all find things every time, but that's the price of security!
Now if you'll excuse me I have to go find my placebos, I mean pills!
When you use false number, in this day and age especially with the internet, you run the risk of people finding out your numbers are way off. Why not just use the facts and let that stand on it's own? Did you not learn anything from the "Reefer Madness" example? Fear and false number eventually lead to people thinking you are a joke for good reason, cause you lied.
Why is the answer to all questions the politicians propose always solved by them in the form of throwing more money at it? Why not address the issue of sprawl? Why do cities continue to extend services to rural locations and let the existing infrastructure deteriorate? The systems can't support it, but dammed if the money now doesn't trump what the system can handle or be cost effective for. Encouraging people to move out of the city is the last thing cities should be doing. They should do what only a handful of cities have done, say that they are not extending services past a certain point and stick to it.
And "old" android? So like a 2 year old phone that is still useful for more then a GPS??? Sure go ahead. While you're at it buy a server for your home PC, a car for a radio and a house to get a drink of water.
Who would have thought a TEAM could accomplish more then the individual. I guess there is no "I" in team, but apparently there are a lot of d-bags in medicine that patent everything and profiteer off poorly treating peoples health.
With the % dipping lower and lower on what is legal as far as a breathalyzer is concerned, technically a guy that has one beer and leaves the bar a little too soon could be lumped in with a guy that drank 15+ drinks in a night. The only reason the law makers let over-reactionists lobby for unrealistic levels and pass laws as such is because, sad to say, drunk driving has become a money making industry for police, court, and probation department around the US.
Have to agree. The NBC affiliate here uses every opportunity to put infomercials on, even trumping regular national programing some times. They also sensationalize every news story they can and break in to regular programing with even the stupidest, non-issue "newsflash" headlines that most times are things I can wait on hearing.
Add to that the severe weather updates that they break in for when they already have a map covering a quarter of the screen during regular programing, yet they still go to ads during this "create some fear" weather reporting. And what happens when they go to ads? The little weather map disappears. Guess it's severe enough to wreak whatever I was watching, but not so bad as to stop them from forcing every ad they can on to my TV.
If you make hiring decisions, god help whatever company you are working for.
Working in the industry, I think, has been more beneficial then any class I ever took because any computer professional will tell you that there is the way you learn in school and the way that it is actually done. If courses taught the best possible way that would be one thing, but they don't for 90% of what they teach about computing. There is the way you learned and the way that is more effective, takes less time to set up, and has less overhead. Choose the first and watch how long your job lasts.
I have discussed this with a Albanian speaking person where I was SO close in pronunciation that it would be hard for most to tell the difference, but most the Albanian that worked in this place would be like "What? I don't understand what you are saying." If they do it more then once to me, I constantly ask them to repeat themselves till they get it.
Is it just like the internet where if you have one spelling error in your posting, no matter how poignant, it has no meaning because the grammar police rip you a new one?
"Yield to trian? Look they spelled train wron......... KAPOW!!!!!"
Hopefully someone will correct my spelling of "kapow" to the more accepted Batman & Robin English Oxford Dictionary spelling.
So the best thing to do if kidnapped is to try and convince your captors to download some movies via torrent, burn them to disc, then get the blanket out and sell them on the front law. You would just would have to convince them of the potential money and reassure them that no one gets caught doing so.
Kind of like a reverse Stockholm syndrome power play?
The problem isn't with the engineers or their managers, it's with cost annalists that haggle over things as little as 1 cent or even 1/2 cent in cost to produce a part, all of which engineering time factors in to. Good design of most parts takes a back seat to small amounts of savings per part and it's the same across all car manufacturers that produce large amounts of cars. It's kowtowing to investors trying to extract every dollar of profit out of their investment.
Look under the hood of any car, truck or van produced in the pass 10 or 15 years and notice how compact everything is. That's not to improve handling or roll center. It's all to save as much material in building the car. If they could do it to the body of the cars they would, but they can't because it need to pass safety tests and people looking to mid and large sized vehicles are not going to buy them is they are too small.
And a battery replacement at 6k didn't bother you? I would guess that the warranty would cover it till x amount of miles, but it reminds me of Tommy Boy and Farley's character saying "if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I can". I would worry that just out of warranty it would need another battery at a pretty large cost possibly depending on options for replacement. A rebuilding and replacement of dead cells I doubt would ever be guaranteed much beyond 30 days and most certainly won't be offered by most garages and not at all at dealerships. In the long run it might be quite costly and would worry me if I owned it that it already needed one new battery at 6k.
Good points. The media industries and such have painted anyone with a PC a criminal/pirate/terrorist for so long it only fits that things could come to that. Will make the whole "Blanket on the front law" scenario look like mere child's play!
Does this mean that file sharing and sites like Wikileaks could just pull up anchor and go to the next country if being pressured by local law enforcement? Interesting the possibilities that this could have. Can think either bad or good, maybe even both.
Easy fella. Don't you know how much funding is at stake here? If you simplify it too much and ask for the actual science that means neither side gets the millions upon billions in funding. We wouldn't what a concrete decision on this, would we?
I don't want to give pedophiles, molesters or child porn sickos a free pass, but it's a crazy that law enforcement can seek a conviction on something that is so open to outside tampering as a computer in a place of work or in a public situation. Anyone could hide a file 10 or 20 folders deep and the user would have no idea. It's just way to subject to let prosecutors use this as the only means to obtain conviction. I'm sure if a person really is in to child porn, pictures on their computer is one of many things that could bring a conviction against them. Does law enforcement really need less to seek conviction in cases because of the moral wrongness of the crime, regardless of if the person is guilty or not? It almost seems like the salem witch trials all over again.
Every time we get the old line "we won't do that because it will infringe on your rights" from politicians, government agencies, law enforcement and all the likes, it should be a red light to all that they will most certainly abuse whatever it is and overwhelming infringe on your rights. Why we continue to put up with politicians that don't represent us and sell us down the river is astounding. At least recently people have woken up to the fact that the government and the politicians in it love to gain power over the masses in some sort of control freak way for anything from making money off it to appeasing corporate campaign contributors all for their own gain.
The government needs to be once again a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Well considering the MSRP on the highest priced H2 Hummer is $70,362 then you must be talking about the Humvee becuase I really doubt they were giving away free cars. The humvee is the military version that that general public could buy, but considering the rarity of seeing them on the roads of the US, I find it hard to believe that $1 billion in tax credits were given out for them.
I think even the H2 would be hard pressed to be approaching $1 billion in tax breaks. No, I think you are confusing the SUV tax break which was for ALL SUV's, not just hummers, humvees or H2's, but for any Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, etc..... That I could believe would reach $1 billion and is ridicules the amount of breaks that was given out on.
Unless we just want to forget the nearly $1 billion dollar subsidies for the Hummer?
??????? You mean as in it's production for military use?
How about you go on about Sherman tank and all it's "subsidies" also? Maybe the M1A1 too?
Wow I had no idea one could reach the level of douche baggery that you reached in one post. Yeah tell us all again how $100,000+ on 2003 was just a average income. Really not surprising that you drove a Prius either.
Slashdot Mirror
That's why I never understood processors that are soldered to the MB's. Single point of failure that will cost twice as much in some cases.

Eat bad sea life and it will arise more then twice. Badoom tishhhhh!
Thank you, thank you.
