There are a few cards which offer lifetime warranties you could check out. Zotac makes one, and evga used to, not sure if they are down to a 3 year. http://ncix.com/products/?sku=71569&vpn=ZT-60301-10P&manufacture=Zotac&promoid=1048 Etc.

I mean unlocking telephones of course. Sorry if it was confusing.

Not sure how I or anyone missed this, but was reading through the bill and noticed a paragraph basically making sure unlocking was legal. Also made sure to include unlocking services for others was legal as well:

41.18 (1) Paragraph 41.1(1)(a) does not apply to a person who circumvents a technolog- ical protection measure on a radio apparatus for the sole purpose of gaining access to a telecommunications service by means of the radio apparatus.

(2) Paragraphs 41.1(1)(b) and (c) do not apply to a person who offers the services to the public or provides the services, or manufactures, imports or provides the technology, device or component, for the sole purpose of facilitating access to a telecommunications service by means of a radio apparatus.

This wont help us Canadians though, there is no such wording in this bill:

41.1 (1) No person shall

(a) circumvent a technological protection measure within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition "technological protection measure" in section 41;

This is the definition to which they are referring.

"technological protection measure" means any effective technology, device or component that, in the ordinary course of its operation,

(a) controls access to a work, to a perform er’s performance fixed in a sound recording or to a sound recording and whose use is authorized by the copyright owner;

It does:

“technological protection measure” means any effective technology, device or component that, in the ordinary course of its operation,

(a) controls access to a work, to a performer’s performance fixed in a sound recording or to a sound recording and whose use is authorized by the copyright owner; or

(b) restricts the doing — with respect to a work, to a performer’s performance fixed in a sound recording or to a sound recording — of any act referred to in section 3, 15 or 18 and any act for which remuneration is payable under section 19.

The only problem is this is barely over 100 ppi, which is kind of what the article writer is complaining about.

I know you're just answering the grandparents question, showing the 27" for cheap, but it is no great stride in PPI.

There was another post though saying gamers have been begging for higher PPI for a long time and I somewhat disagree. This is the area I would least want higher PPI. 1080p with nice anti aliasing etc.

But for desktop use, web browsing, reading documents, etc higher ppi is a godsend.

It is like winning the lottery! But the odds are better. And instead of money you get, you know, cancer. Woo!

Even "No longer" is not quite accurate. They released 5.6 at the same time at 6.0. It just looks "older" because of the version, but really it is just as updated and includes all the features.

Pretty fucking much. How else you gonna get home from England? Try to get a ride on a cruise liner or cargo ship?

If it was ever not justified for other countries to detest the USA, the valid reasons sure keep cropping up.

I actually find full system recovery another place where TM kicks ass.

Put in your disk, wipe the drive make a new partition, and install by 'restoring from time machine'

It will make you system how it was from the minute that backup was made, almost as if nothing changed.

As mentioned, the tmutil command line utility is great for finding out exactly what is in each backup, what changed(added and removed), what kind of size diff there is between two backups, etc.

You can also incorperate an old sparsebundle into your current backup sparsebundle using tmutil.

Apple hate aside, time machine is an amazingly excellent backup system.

It backs up to a Netgear Readynas configured in RAID 5. Hourly, daily, weekly backups. I've never lost anything thanks to this great system.

In linux I try to approximate this with BackupPC.

http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

It is really an excellent piece of software, though no where near as refined of course. You pretty much only get daily backups though since the kernel in linux does not track filesystem changes so hourly backups would be very prohibitive.

How about I put one hand at the top of the wheel and the other on my shifter since I drive a manual, you insensitive clods!

As mentioned you need many exploits for one jailbreak, but multiple groups will not release all their own jailbreak using totally diff methods for the same ios version. There has been semi-good cooperation there in the past.

If that's what you say about edmonton, I live where the human equivilent of Extremophile bacteria are!

Thankfully 50mbps internet is plentiful and there is no need to go driving to any border for games.

There are other options. Some colleges here in canada offer wind-farm tech as a one year course that will at least get your started.

That is in my town here in northern canada but there must be others as well.
