Ok, yes yes, the crazy mugger (cracker) was clearly in the wrong. That does leave the question of why an unconnected, shady character (the FBI) was walking around with everyone's paychecks (Apple info for which the FBI has no clearly demonstrated need).
Nobody is declaring Anonymous innocent, but why the HELL does the FBI need a list of UDIDs? Are they tracking TERRISTS via their iPhones now, or is it more likely that the FBI just likes reading your mail, watching you in the shower, and knowing all your passwords?
What you really need is me, or rather someone just like me (unless you're in Pennsylvania). You don't want a hardcore Windows nerd, they will be angling to replace your Unix machines with Windows servers before a year is out. What you actually want is a *nix *fan*, but who has spent most of their time in Windows. You want them to have the skillset, but you really don't want someone who wholeheartedly endorses the company who practically invented "embrace, extend, extinguish".
IANAD, so I will absolutely not say that you are wrong, but I was just reading the other day that that information is not current anymore. Current MAOIs aren't irreversible, so they have better-controlled effects.
MAOI = Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor, a common class of antidepressant.
So in people with low-expression (doesn't make much) genes for MAOA, they have less of this depression-causing gene, and are happier. For everyone else, have some of this over-prescribed medication!
This sounds very much like "research" which was heavily funded by a pharmaceutical company that makes lots of MAOIs.
Breaking news! People with fewer natural antidepressant genes are more depressed! Have some moclobemide!
The only interesting thing for me here is that these MAOA genes seem to only work as described in women.
This is largely irrelevant and non-news. ESX/ESXi is not affected (bare metal, no host to infect), it only infects VMs running directly on a Windows box. That makes them almost certainly not production, just dev VMs, or most likely VMs set up to help bypass web filtering.
The real interest here is that the infected VM can hang back, get missed by a virus search-and-destroy (by being off), then reinfect other hosts after admin thinks they're clean.
Piracy is a problem. Sending DMCA notices, while a decent band-aid, is not a solution. Also, piracy exists, and widely, on Windows Phone, iPhone, and every other device.
I don't know about you, but I rarely give money to people who fight me, threaten me, or give me ultimatums. I routinely give money to people who treat me like a decent human being. I'm the success story Steam has been looking for. In the mid to late nineties, and the early 2000s, I pirated everything. If I could pirate it, and I used the software, I did. Later, I got a title or two via Steam, and kept the client installed to access them. Then I started noticing all the sales on games, and I started picking the low-hanging fruit. These days, nearly 100% of my gaming library is legitimate, paid-for, and largely unused (at any given point in time, anyways). I'm OK with that.
Do you see it yet? Threats, ostracism, and guilt didn't work. A nice gentle price curve and some up-front honesty got my wallet open.
Also, if you think you should be making a living from one game, you might be a little off. The problem isn't piracy, it's unrealistic expectations of return.
I'm ashamed to admit I caved and picked up Assassin's Creed: Revelations. I really love the storyline, but this story makes me fervently wish I could dump the title and get my 5$ back. I'll have to mark it as "lesson learned" and leave it in my game list to taunt and antagonize me, like Riddick has been doing.
Actually, if you're looking at a bit of metallic-looking glass, you *are* looking at the die. Front or back, there's very, very little scrap material. Lap more than the tiniest fraction of an inch, and you're lapping off circuit.
Problem is, you can lap the heatsink, you can't lap a die. If you're dealing with an integrated heatspreader plate, as most modern CPUs do, you can lap, but you throw warranty completely away when you do. It's all kinds of lose-lose.
On the other hand, with Intel switching from solder to paste to join the die to the IHS on Ivy Bridge, it means you have yet another non-optimal layer to deal with. We're fixing the wrong problem.
That's correct. Fish are halal if they are taken from the water alive and have scales. Butchering in the same manner as meat and poultry, as you describe, are recommended but not required.
If one is unsure that a given meat may be haram, the word of a non-Muslim is not sufficient to determine this.
When travelling in a non-Muslim country, or a country where Muslim-operated food businesses are the norm, it is generally best to eat only scaled fish and vegetarian dishes, as these are generally halal automatically. Do be careful to verify as best as you can that the fish have scales. Generally modern fishing operations will only keep live catch, so that is less of a concern.
Generally the larger the IT department, the more resistant it is to change, the slower new things are adopted, and the more paperwork/hoops there are to deal with.
Conversely, the larger the IT department is, the less often things break, the more plans there are for failover, and the more hands there are to make light work.
You work with dinosaurs. I was in a Fortune 500 IT department 3 months ago, and their main desktop support guy and I were learning UEFI and GPT so that we had it for later. The "decision makers" were just approving our long-term plan to move from XP to Win7 Pro 32bit. 64bit was verboten until next year, possibly later, because some important line-of-business software was not 64bit ready.
I now work a mile down the road, and am the entire IT department. I am free to adopt anything and everything I can justify. I'm slowly moving all the machines from XP to Win7 64, but beyond that have few plans to 'get crazy' simply because I don't have time to implement anything exciting.
Also, these are all generalizations and anecdotes, generalizations are never correct, and anecdotes are worth what you paid. Enjoy.
That's.... surprisingly good, for a fan-made short. I wonder if the script could have carried an hour+ of that heavy-handed melodrama, though. The budget, to be done right, would be astronomical.
Caught myself, but not before I posted. Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who got misty for Rat Thing, who got to do the Dog Loyalty Payback program, writ large.
To build on the AC who beat me to it, they should introduce the Rat Thing as a machine, and not at all make it look dog-like, but have a series of flashbacks when it realizes Hiro is in trouble, having a younger-but-recognizable-Hiro playing with the dog, the dog remembering being kidnapped, remembers a flash of machines in a lab, Robocop-style, flashes back again to the boy-Hiro, calling him. Rat Thing blasts through wall, maybe barking in a techo-distorted fashion, and begins terminal acceleration. You can throw in a variable number of flashbacks from dog POV, running towards the boy, intercutting with shots of Rat Thing going multi-Mach on the highway, to make it even clearer. As the Rat Thing hits the fuel tank, have a slow-mo of it starting to fly apart from the impact, intercut with scenes of the boy and the dog, falling down, laughing and rolling around.
No sweat. I could do it myself. It's all CGI, so it's infinitely malleable.
I just want to cry a little for the Rat Thing at the movie, like I did when I read the book. Best unexpected tragic hero figure in years.
Hollywood, call me. I remember how really good movies worked, and can help you remember.
I saw Amalur advertised. It looked interesting. I checked Steam, it was 60$. I mentally filed it under "maybe someday if there's a sale". Sale didn't happen before developer tanked.
That's true, I was mainly thinking of purchasing managers who will totally sign off on a huge package of SA Windows licenses because it makes audits simple, but then buy all the machines with Windows 7 Super-Cripple edition or the NoOS option. If you're careful to only buy Win7 Pro, you can downgrade from right there, no other purchases involved.

I thought this sounded familiar.
MAOA = Monoamine Oxidase A.

Divorce not going well for you, I see?
Right, just like the Jews developed resistance to Xyklon-B, or how the victims of the Spanish Inquisition developed resistance to fire and trauma.
Some things just don't develop resistance the same way.
Resistant to bleach? Really? Did you even read the post you're replying to?

Now the question remains: Why do we still get the DRMed version on Steam? Clearly a DRM-free version is available.
I'm ashamed to admit I caved and picked up Assassin's Creed: Revelations. I really love the storyline, but this story makes me fervently wish I could dump the title and get my 5$ back.
