Never having to worry about starvation ever again outweighs the loss of jobs, at least in my mind.
Taking this a step further, let's say we can freely copy housing as well. There goes my number 1 and number 3 largest monthly expenses: shelter and food. Take those expenses away, and I almost don't need a job anymore. That doesn't sound so bad to me...
In my opinion, keeping the photos in their original black & white, or color format would be more than adequate for the juxtaposition. I don't think anything would have been lost in the process of blending the photos in a more seamless manner. This is an absolutely amazing idea! However, I think it was published before it's full potential was realized.
I didn't really buy it when I first saw that story. It appears there's been enough time for someone to look it over and see that it wasn't completely on the level.
City of Heroes/City of Villains has "global" friends which uses your account name (which has to be unique) as the handle to all your characters on any of the servers. This was one of the first things I missed when I started playing WoW.
And if that quick and easy fine were to, say, threaten the corporation's livelihood, perhaps a little more thought might be put into the way the business is run?
Bob Colayco from Blizzard just contacted us to mention that if users wish to leave feedback about open sourcing games, support for Linux, or anything else you would like to express to them, you should do so in the comments section of this story. They plan on perusing the comments below for user feedback and interest, so don't be shy.
Support for Linux, either native or at the very least through testing/working with WINE, is something that I would really like to see. I've played WoW through WINE and managed to get it running, but the overall game play experience is just not on par with that of playing through Windows.
The user specified the content be posted to to a.random.group, but I think it could be assumed that the post was intended only for their ISP's server. So the "peering" process isn't "between or among points specified by a user". Correct?
I'm a Democrat from New Mexico. I like Bill Richardson (...) Richardson is centrist, fiscally responsible, has legislative and executive branch experience, and Hispanic.
...and Hispanic
Hardly relevant. I don't vote for anyone based on race, or color, or heritage. Only his record counts. Ask him what he'll do about the war, the patriot act, and prohibition, and maybe IP law.
Interesting, you say that race color and heritage are irrelevant, but apparently sex is not?
What?
The comments were being made about a male candidate, no? Or is Bill now a girls name?

I'd think they're more concerned with functionality. The cosmetics will come later.
The Honda's we have owned in the past only survived 75k, 120k and 90k with religious 3k oil/filter changes.
Really? You only made it to 75, 90, and 120,000 miles? You must have really bad luck with hondas.
I can't really say for sure that those mileage figures are accurate, but those people are trying to sell those cars so it's not in their interest to pad the mileage.
Add the sophisticated hybrid option with its limited life batteries and the extra electronics and I can't believe they will suddenly push 200k. Just to many expensive things to go wrong.
As for the hybrids go, here are some listings for the Prius.
Also, aren't those "religious 3k oil/filter changes" similar to the way I "religiously" bathe everyday? You know, standard maintenance practices... (queue the hygiene jokes)
I can't get to TFA(at work), but I'd imagine they were pricing out hardware. I, personally, never factor in OS or any other software when I talk about building a PC for myself or someone else.
Are you retarded?... Did you think anyone is unsure what phishing is?
"No" followed by a "Yes". You presented yourself as someone who did not know.
The point, which you so amazingly missed, is that phishing casts a wide net, via the amazing capabilities of automation, to try to gather personal information (yes, that's the point of phishing) from a large number of small targets. The "one-off rich guy" target is absolutely inane, and absolutely contrary to the reality of hackers.
It's easy to automate the process of sending out email to a large number of people in an effort to get them to hand over their account information? Really? As I said before, I receive spam/phishing email, and I'm well aware of how the general process works.
Are you retarded? Of course the "one-off rich guy" scenario is inane when applied to phishing.
My point, which you so amazingly missed, is that phishing is NOT hacking. It's an email asking you to give me your personal information. I didn't steal it from you. I tricked you into giving it to me. Since when has this been considered hacking? Social engineering or a Con perhaps, but hacking? Would you like a definition for hacking as well?
So, since it's not considered hacking, then what purposes does it serve in making your point? The GP was talking about hackers. More specifically, a hacker using their talents to gain unauthorized access to a specific target. I would imagine this process is nothing like phishing.
So let me recap...
GP: Hackers don't care about you. They're after the big fish.
You: Nah-uh! I get phishing email, which is automated. Also, security is important.
I seem to get several dozen phishing attempts per day, with people trying to gain access to my PayPal, Ebay, bank accounts, and other online services. I guess I must be stupid and rich to gain the attention of such target limited hackers, right?
No, actually you're just getting spam. Heard of it, yes? I receive phishing attempts also. Most of them are for places, banks usually, with which I've never done business and do not hold an account. Please don't imply that because you get phishing spam that hax0rz are trying to get all your personal data. That's really a terrible example to use for your argument. Most of the phishing email I've seen relies on you to give out your information.
Just for reference...
Phishing - A method of identity theft carried out through the creation of a website that seems to represent a legitimate company. The visitors to the site, thinking they are buying something from a real business, submit their personal information to the site. The criminals then use the personal information for their own purposes, or sell the information to other criminal parties.
I'm amazed that anyone would still say something this stupid (and that others would actually moderate it up).
I would disagree. The other names you mentioned were at least descriptive, rather than being for promotional purposes. I'd much rather see names like "Flying Thunder Pigeon", than names like "Found-by-Gary-osaurus".
The one exception would be if they found a roundhouse kicking dinosaur. Then, and only then, would I make an exception for this Chuck-Norris-osaurus.
I don't know enough about Intel to say, but it's my understanding that with the move to A64 they(AMD) technically don't have a FSB. So it's not really an apples to apples comparison, right?
Intro to A64 Architecture
Traditionally, a Northbridge existed between the memory bus and the CPU. The rate at which data is transferred between the memory and CPU is known as the front side bus. However, the Athlon64's memory controller is on-die, and as such, has no Northbridge, nor a front side bus. The Athlon64's have two independent buses; one between the memory and the on-die controller, and another bus that communicates with the other system devices- the HyperTransport bus. The CPU's clock speed is determined by the HTT speed multiplied by a clock multiplier, which is why it's often suggested to view the HTT as if it were the front side bus. However, this is about where the similarities between the two diverge. The HTT is, in fact, not a data path or bus, simply an internal time off of which the HyperTransport and CPU speeds are derived. The HyperTransport bus' effective speed is determined by an LDT(Lighting data transport) multiplier, multiplied by the HTT. Traditionally, the memory speed is derived off of the front side bus, and can be manipulated by FSB/memory ratios. In contrast, in the A64, memory speed is derived off of the CPU speed in CPU/memory ratios. This is why it's rather inaccurate to say that the memory is ever running "synchronously." The memory is always running asynchronously with respect to the CPU speed, off of which it's derived. How fast it's running with respect to the HTT does not matter at all. There is no latency hit in running the memory slower than the HTT. While the front side bus could've been traditionally double or quad-pumped, the HyperTransport's effective data rate can be anywhere from 1x to 5x it's speed on the CPU.
I didn't get to RTFA but I probably wouldn't base a systems ability to run enterprise/business/mission-critical software on whether or not it crashed playing games.
Also, I would probably group these DTR's into 2 categories, as not all of them are intended for the same usage.
The only way the human race will ever be free is if we all stop paying taxes, stop using their money, stop joining their militaries, stop building bombs for them under contract, stop obeying their laws.
Yes, because Government is the only thing keeping the world's population from having our Hyper-Utopia. It certainly isn't things like religious or cultural differences. Diversity would never cause conflict were it not for evil Governments, and their taxes and militaries and such.
Isn't the idea behind checks and balances to create a system where the power can't be abused by any one branch/group/individual? Wouldn't that give people some slight comfort in the way their Government is organized? I'm not sure I'd use it as a reason for distrust.
I see your point. A system had to be created to keep the Government from becoming corrupt, and without it things could go wrong in a hurry. I guess my thinking has always been "We have locks on our doors to keep those we don't trust out", not "We have to lock the doors because no one can be trusted."
Wow, what a surprise! "Half-Baked" is calling someone with an anti drug-dealing stance a "tool". Nice work, you tool.
I completely agree with cluckshot, and it has nothing to do with whether I think people should be allowed to use this drug or that drug. This is about the kinds of people (or behaviors) that these drugs (meth) attract. Do you know why we don't allow people to wander the streets intoxicated? Because people do things they normally wouldn't do while under the influence of alcohol. Most people, I would assume, are not excited by the prospect of a neighborhood full of "Half-Baked" visitors who would barter children for their next fix.
I used to live in an apartment complex that was acress the street from a drug house. My car was broken into several times because of the goons that house was attracting. So I don't want to hear this "You're a fucking narc-tool" gibberish. If they could have just picked up whatever they came for and then left, I wouldn't have had a problem. Instead, they would scour the parking lot and vandalize multiple cars with each visit.
If you want to do your meth, then get it legalized. If you lack the conviction to try that, then at least go through someone who deals discretely. If the people of the neighborhood don't know what's going on they won't complain. IANADD, but that would be my objective. If your dealer is advertising the fact that they are running an illegal business, regardless of whether you feel it should be illegal, they deserve to be caught.
So, maybe you should tell your dealer cronies to get a clue and to not be so god damned obvious in their illicit dealings, k-thx?
Please Note: I know I have terrible grammar and probably made several mistakes.
so the choice is limited to: intel centrino duo, turion and macbook pro
Just to make this clear, centrino is not a processor, it's really more of a specification. I assume you meant the Intel Core Duo, which is the same Intel processor used in the MacBook Pro.

Right, because people are rarely swayed by money and lulling someone into a false sense of security isn't easy. :)
