To be fair, WoW does allow Dual Talent Specs. There's a world of difference between how you'll gear/play your Paladin if you spec for both Holy & Protection or Retribution. I've heard of Holy Paladins in cloth for better Spirit & Intellect bonuses.
Except that doesn't really change the dynamics of the class, so much as the regen/damage effects that class has. You're not re-specing into a rogue or re-specing into a warlock, you're just becoming a slightly different type of Paladin.
JFFS2 is designed for unmanaged NAND flash, not flash cards with built-in controllers that emulate IDE drives. Therefore you can't use it on SD cards, CF cards, or anything that has a built-in memory controller.
Also - proofreading would be nice - "which are to used kill..."? My god what do we pay editors for?
Actually, that's a grammatical error present in the article. Sure, the Slashdot editors could have fixed it, but the treehugger.com editors should have fixed it first.
Slightly more detailed breakdown with quotes from TFA:
8.6% of players were Veterans, "players that die very few times; their death is caused mainly by the environment and they complete TRU very fast."
22.12% of players were Solvers. "Their
long completion times, low number of deaths by enemies or environment effects indicate a slow-moving, careful style of play with the number one cause of death being falling (jumping).... Solvers are excellent at solving puzzles, respond readily to moveable threats but die often from falling and are slow to complete the game."
46.18% of players were Pacifists: "The total number of their deaths varies a lot but their completion times are below average and their help requests are minimal indicating a certain amount of skill at playing the game.... the Pacifists are experts in terms of navigation and move rapidly through the virtual environment, but also respond badly to threats that are moveable or unexpected"
16.56% of players were Runners, "players that die quite often and mainly by opponents and the environment. These players are very fast in completing the game (similar to the Veterans), while having a varying number of help requests which cover the majority of the H value range."
College courses where you are graded on defending a belief system founded entirely in unprovable "faith". What exactly is the "college" portion here?... Do you really need a "degree" to say "it's true cuz it's in duh bible and jebus says so"?
There is no traditional liberal arts college portion here, because it's a seminary. The whole point of a seminary to provide a religious education. I'll quote the relevant part of Wikipedia:
A seminary, theological college, or divinity school is a specialized and often live-in higher education institution for the purpose of instructing students (seminarians) in philosophy, theology, spirituality and the religious life, usually in order to prepare them to become members of the clergy.
Why not have a college focused entirely on the absolute certainty that dragons and warlocks exist?
If a D&D college existed, I'd be amongst the first to sign up.
Wait, wait, wait... You're telling me that a Christian, theological seminary actually has a class that involves defending the tenets of the school's beliefs? This is an outrage!
The point wasn't to "pwn" the Federal Agents. It was to alert them to the fact that this technology exists, that it's cheap, and that it's easy. From TFA:
Paget announced during his DefCon talk that his security consulting company, H4rdw4re, will be releasing a $50 kit at the end of August that will make reading 125-kHz RFID chips â" the kind embedded in employee access cards â" trivial. It will include open source software for reading, storing and re-transmitting card data and will also include a software tool to decode the RFID encryption used in car keys for Toyota, BMW and Lexus models. This would allow an attacker to scan an unsuspecting car-ownerâ(TM)s key, decrypt the data and open the car. He told Threat Level theyâ(TM)re aiming to achieve a reading range of 12 to 18 inches with the kit.
Just wait until someone creates a small RFID reader and hooks it up to an iPhone in their pocket (a combo that would be virtually undetectable) and starts walking through the subway collecting info. We can already pick up the credit card owner's name, credit card number, expiration date, etc. right off of the RFID tags present in AMEX cards.
I also find it odd that they are testing Debian stable rather than testing or unstable.
Technically, they're also testing Arch Stable, Fedora Stable, Ubuntu Stable, etc. You can't make a direct comparison if you're tipping the stakes in the direction of your favorite distribution.
Are you aware that the year 0 A.D. did not technically exist? Indeed. Think of 0 A.D. as a hypothetical time period that never existed. It is a snapshot in time where major players of the classical ages were placed in an observatory. This is your chance to see them 'duke it out'. Your job as the player is to create the hypothetical and recreate the historical.
It's called suspension of disbelief, and there are times when it's a good thing. Situations may include books, movies, video games, and other works of fiction.
Far from being an app bubble, we are simply seeing a transition into a more mature market with richer products. Because it's so easy and cheap to create apps I'm sure we'll always see a ton of simple apps, but the market will grow on from that base instead of contracting as the term "bubble" would imply.
Quoted for truth.
One could have the exact same argument about the x86 Windows-based market in the 90's. So many applications popped up that the market was flooded; take CD burning applications, for example. Roxio, Nero, Sonic, CloneCD, Power ISO, Ulead... all applications vying for consumer attention that do the exact same thing. In the end, the competition just widens the field, increases choice, and spurs innovation, both in the software and advertising fields.
In the end I expect iPhone apps will be sold primarily by word of mouth.
If China gave us clearance to attack North Korea, I would hope that we would start by blowing up the government (using air power). I think the people would get the idea pretty quickly, so I'm not sure a deadly ground war would follow.
I'm just curious when or if rules are going to be put up about Internet sovereignty, so that an attack on a website is seen as an act of war.
I can totally see a situation where a US gov't website or economic hub (e.g. stock exchange servers) would get hit by a series of computers based out of N. Korea, the US declares war on N. Korea for violating US internet sovereignty, and the whole thing was a setup by a third party looking to create and exploit a power vacuum.
Maybe I've been reading too many NetForce novels, but the whole idea scares me, and I have the feeling that most people in America wouldn't understand why... particularly the people who make the laws about this kind of thing.
you know that the current versions of all browsers do support those, right?
Correct. IE 7+ does support both.
However, I'm talking about the previous round of browser wars, in which Firefox supported both transparent PNGs and CSS 2 and IE 6 did not. I didn't hear crowds of people cheering about FF's transparent PNG support or its CSS 2 support; Firefox got most of its marketshare because Joe Schmoe used Internet Explorer and got a trojan.
My point is that the supported formats are not going to drive the browser industry. It's nice to talk about HTML 5 and Acid3 and all these other standards, but when push comes to shove, the standards are not driving the browser industry. Firefox will not gain users because they support HTML 5 when IE doesn't, because the users don't care. All the users want is to watch their lolcat videos; the majority of users barely know what a video format is, much less have a preference over which format to use.
Yes, yes, just like those transparent PNG files I've heard so much about. Or that new CSS 2 thing. Any browser that doesn't support them will just fall by the wayside the moment a superior browser comes out.

I find your lack of tags disturbing.

Yo Modern Warfare 2, I’m real happy for ya, and I’ma let you finish, but Grand Theft Auto had the best offensive footage of all time. OF ALL TIME!!!
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
Seriously... it's "ISPs" not "ISP's".
