I never claimed it would be room temperature, only that indirect heat would make it warmer than the unheated outside temperature. Also if you have dark colored shingles on your roof that could raise the surface temperature a few degrees higher than the rest of the garage as well.
Except people that have attached garages. Even if there isn't a direct heat source, you are still getting some indirect heat from the house it is attached to.
If the photos are supposed to be sexually arousing in nature, it is kiddie porn. A naked picture of a minor is not automatically porn though. There are plenty of "art" pictures of naked minors that are perfectly legal.
You are not crazy. I can say that the University where I work, Acrobat Pro is installed on about 20% of the machines here. And we have a staff of over 60,000 employees, so that right there is a big chunk of dough to Adobe. Granted, we get an educational discount and a license is only about $60, but the numbers add up quick with the volume of users who have it installed.
Or one that cut corners due to budget cuts. The problem is, if it was a bid job, you could fault the decision maker for going with the cheapest solution, which may not be the best one. But if the decision is to buy the nice more expensive ones, people will complain that the cheapest one should have been used.
Even with XP you spend the first half of the install in a DOS-like menu
Once you get to the first menu and tell it you want to install Windows and on which partition, you are in the GUI from there on after. So, out of a 40 minute install, the first 5 are outside the GUI, and the last 35 are inside of it.
I hate lazy people, and I'd much rather you typed "http://www.whatever.com". I mean, otherwise how is your web browser supposed to know to use hypertext transfer protocol??
That is a good point. using linux to run a Virtual Machine of Windows and then having all of the Bookmarks, Documents, etc, etc pointed back to share's on that linux system while having the VR Windows load from a snapshop does work well. When someone needs to install something new they just need to do a clean boot, install their app and make a new snapshop.
My 86 year old grandmother will be pleased as punch to hear this!! No more answering her stupid Windows questions anymore!!
Academia at a University. Look, I'm not saying HIPAA is perfect and 100% effective, but it is certainly a step in the right direction, and has changed the way the industry does things. Do you think we are worse off with the laws now than we were 10 years ago when it was basically the wild wild west?
Yes, because there is only one small team in the government that is in charge of all 3 of those projects. When you have something other than a "I just don't trust the government to do anything" strawman argument, then we can talk seriously. Look at it this way - if you screw up with HIPAA, you will never get hired by anyone anywhere to do any more research. If that isn't incentive enough, I don't know what is. All the other crap you talk about - drones, voting machines, open source vs. closed source is just smoke and mirrors and have nothing to do with what we were talking about.
Um, no. The slap on the wrist period is over. They had a transition period where they were not going to come down hard on you shortly after it was implemented, but the grace period is over. Screwing up now will cost you money, and more importantly guarantee you will never get any government grants for research, and no private firms will hire you because your reputation is shot. Research is huge huge money and companies are not going to risk that by being non-compliant. It will end up costing far more in the long run by having one small incident than it would to get things up to compliance levels.
I work in the medical research field, and trust me, HIPAA does much more to protect your privacy than inconvenience your relatives at the pharmacy (Which may be a store policy and not a HIPAA thing. One pharmacy I went to would not let me fill someone else's prescription, but the next one I went to did. neither mentioned HIPAA as a reason.). It was a huge deal that our division spent 2 years getting ready for, and everyone had to do training on what is legal and what isn't. There was also a lot of behind-the-scenes work done with existing medical data - de-identifying them, randomizing them, etc. Just becasue you are not directly aware of what changed under HIPAA does not mean that nothing changed. HIPAA also gives the law some teeth - if you really think that your privacy was violated by a health provider, report them. This isn't something the courts simply look the other way on anymore.
One of my favorite quotes. But the actual quote is "I do not reject your Christ, I love your Christ. It is just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Gandhi never actually said he did not like Christians, just that they do not act like Christ.
Well, who are you going to believe - a panel of experts with hundreds of years of combined knowledge of the specific subject, or your gut? This so called "intelligence" is just nothing but liberal elitism at it's best.
You are talking about a pretty specific instance here. I mean how many Netflix customers do you think are film students taking film classes, but not locally?
DRM isn't supposed to benefit movie patrons directly. It's purpose in digital films is to prevent piracy of HDD movies from people working at the theater. I am guessing they will claim that DRM does benefit the customer by controlling piracy, which if left uncontrolled would drive the average price of the movie tickets up. Whether or not this is true I have no idea, but I am guessing that is the stance they will use to justify the DRM.
Well, I can only speak from my own experiences and after being both a TW and Comcast (have you had both companies provide service to you?) customer, I can say the Comcast is worse and more expensive. Like I said, I had thought Time Warner was bad until Comcast showed me what true suckiness is all about. I am ready to cut off the TV part of Comcast (live sports being one of the last remaining factors why I haven't yet, the rest I can mostly find on the Internet), but if you can explain how I can get free Internet service OTA with a pair of rabbit ears, I would love to hear about it. And yes, my city does offer wireless, but not only is it terrible, I live in a stucco house, so that is pretty much not an option even if the service was acceptable.

Why, pray, do US-Americans then (at least in your view) constantly claim "first this!" and "first that!"?
Because the silly reactions of you non-Americans are priceless to us. You should have seen your face!
americans think they need to invent everything... I feel sad for them.
We Americans also invented pity, so stop trying to use our own inventions against us.

This just in - politicians resort to rhetoric in their speeches, and sometimes don't always mean what they say. Film at 11.
I doubt it, seeing her grasp on technology is as shaky as your grasp on sarcasm.

Well played sir. The only time a 123??4 Profit joke has ever made me laugh.

You are talking about a pretty specific instance here. I mean how many Netflix customers do you think are film students taking film classes, but not locally?
Well, then they can just blame piracy and demand even more stringent DRM. It is win-win for the industry.
DRM isn't supposed to benefit movie patrons directly. It's purpose in digital films is to prevent piracy of HDD movies from people working at the theater. I am guessing they will claim that DRM does benefit the customer by controlling piracy, which if left uncontrolled would drive the average price of the movie tickets up.

There is a difference between covering your overhead so you aren't running at a loss, and turning a large profit.
Actually, it is dynamic range compression that is responsible for commercials being louder than regular content.
