The perpetually offended are a cancer to the STEM master race.

My grandmother used a NSI cell when she had VOIP service down in florida and for when she was traveling through the US. She was in her late 70's at the time, she had no need for a functioning cell, only the need in case there was an emergency. The best answer is to register the phones, and when some little shit rat decides to go "hur-dur-dur I'm in ur 911 fuckin' you up" slap them with the cost of dispatching EMS.

I tried that, then the neo-puritan and 3rd wave radical feminists showed up and tried blaming videogames for all the worlds ills.

It's not my job to prove your point, that's your job when someone asks for it. And scientology is as much of a religion as meth is to a healthy lifestyle.

Then you should be easily able to prove your point right?

Pixel art is also big stuff in the h-game scene still, mainly because it's easy to produce and there's quite a few people who make good money creating sprites and pixel for the games that use it. Plus it has a very low entrance level for people wanting to make their own games, since many people use RPGmaker or GameMaker. So if you don't want to pay someone, you can learn how to do it on your own. There isn't the huge gap between pixel/sprite work as there is with 3D rendering for example.

Well that should be easy for you to quantify shouldn't it?

Except of course most churches generally provide something useful(I'm sure someone is going to go 'hurdurdur no they don't'--until they remember that many churches run the soup kitchens/foodbanks/etc in many parts of the world). Wikipedia has easily shown that it's unable to provide anything approaching a NPoV because special interests have decided that 'only their view point' is acceptable, and there are a cabal of editors that will revert anything if it doesn't fit their agenda. Even when admins slap the editors down, they simply come back and keep doing it.

I don't know about that. Even at every office that I've ever done work at even the women refuse to sit near/next to the radiators. That includes in super cold areas where it hits -40C to -50C in the late fall/winter. And in the cases where the 'rad' is pumping out 55C temps, there is already 30-100CM of space around them to simply stop possible burns from the rad which gives you plenty of space to normalize the air temperature. Most places are now on forced air from the ceiling.

Simply, sometimes said transformers can/are difficult to get. Here's an example: In the city of Woodstock, Ontario about 10 years ago at Substation 72 there was a blowout of one of the main feeder transformers for the city. Now you'd think this would be a trivial fix, repair, or something else. Much further from the truth, in fact the only replacement for the transformer was in North Bay, Ontario. That's around a 10 hour drive, so what did we have? A city of ~25k people without no power for the better part of a day. Woodstock now has a redundant transformer station on the outskirts of the city though, that's because it just happens to be growing so large.

Failovers are generally expensive, and having a spare on site for an unexpected failure makes no sense. In the case of Woodstocks transformer failure, it was 6 years old--with an expected life of 30 years.

Of course we already know that this virii/trojan/whatever you want to call it isn't messing around with the partition table, so your point is moot. Since fixmbr can rebuild even a ruined boot sector or bad boot code, that solves the majority of the issue in question. Deleting the partition table however would cause more of an issue for most people, since most people have no idea how to rebuild a partition table manually.

The article is terrible. Bootrec /FIXMBR to the rescue.

Many of those things that the poster stated came from scientists, not the media until they picked it up. Much like that poster, I also remember "all the rainforests will be gone by 2000," "Canada will be a desert because we're cutting down all the trees." And if I go get my grade school notes from the 1980's I can find more. Including the source of them. Usually out of some scientific journal.

I can't say about Kansas but in my neck of the woods here in Canada(ontario), those are standard requirements. Though here you're also required to have a chauffeur's liscence as well as insurance to cover any injuries that parties may receive while you're a driver. So to me, it's completely reasonable to have the same requirements, if you don't want to pay for that then don't. But sure don't whine when the MTO, DOT, or whoever starts slapping you with so many fines that you're up to your asshole in debt because of it.

Well let's be fair, sometimes they have to beat the piss out of them and other times they just rape them in order to get them to do it.
