I don't know how to say this sir, but 1196 is lower than 3310, sir. Unless you tell me otherwise, sir.

Why did he spy on the government in the first place?
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but why is the display driver exposed to the network at all?
Hewlett-Packard makes ammunition? I thought they only made cheap printer ink and sold it in expensive half filled cartridges.
I wouldn't buy ammunition from HP though, it wouldn't work with your gun unless you bought a special chip, and then while the clip looks like it's full, the gun will tell you it's empty half way through so you have to go buy more ammo.
Ohh, how do you plan to do this AC? Really? Start another website?
Have you got any actual *implementable* ideas?
Or are you eating Cheetos in your mothers basement?
Serious question. What *do* you plan to do?
Propagating ideas is important too. It's not as important as action, yes, but what Assange has done will be meaningless unless his message of openness doesn't spread through voting society.
If 51% of voters support Assange, who cares if they do it eating cheetos? You think the US is worried about one man? They're worried about his message. And it's too late to stop that. The best they can do is distract people from the leaks by punishing Assange and making sure it's this embassy bollocks in the media instead of the contents of those cables.
I had the opportunity to burn bridges that needed burning in an exit interview once.
I took complains, issues, and documentation. They took it seriously, and shook the hell out of the department when I left. My manager was "promoted" to a position where he had no staff. Soon after, he 'left.'
Exit interviews are situational, like everything else in life. Treat accordingly.
But we do thank him for the NBN (even if it might mean we will soon have a national debt to rival greece to pay for it).
Wow, get your facts straight.
http://nbnmyths.wordpress.com/how-are-we-paying-for-it/
The NBN is already paid for with government bonds, which will return 4% to investors, however, the NBN itself will make 7% ROI, which means Australian government will pocket 3% from the exercise. Which will probably be spent on even more infrastructure. Which is a lot better than Telstra did, I think all the money they ever made went straight to Sol Trujillo's retirement fund. How on earth can you describe 3% profit as sending Australia into debt?
Please Mr Abbot, stop mucking around on Slashdot and go develop a real policy alternative instead of just spreading FUD and automatically gainsaying whatever the ALP comes up with.
By the same logic, people only ever use the shutdown mechanism of the OS once every session, so it should probably be removed too.
So, another solid example of the "Pure science and engineering" stuff that NASA does bleeding into real world applications.
Kind of.
From Hollywood Reporter:
“Never more than at this moment in the modern era have we needed a profound reminder of the colossally important and exciting role that science, space exploration and the human quest for knowledge must continue to play in our development as a species,” said MacFarlane.
Quite a serious side to the man. Clearly, menstruation and holocaust jokes are just his day job.
Clearly McFarlane is just a bizarro human, opposite to all normal guys, who work really boring jobs in science, engineering etc, and are only free to make menstruation and holocaust jokes in their spare time.
But charging a tax? That's just bullshit.
It's not really a tax, it's a surcharge. And it's not BS, it's a reasonably clever publicity campaign. It's selfish, but the overall intention is good, to encourage people to move away from IE7. Nobody can say it's not good to encourage that.
Obviously you can just avoid the surcharge by, as the webpage suggests, following a link and getting Mozilla or Chrome.
Kogan didn't have to do anything at all, he had a lot of options, he chose this one as a way to stir up discussion, highlight to consumers that IE7 adds unnecessary development costs, and encourage people to switch to a better browser.
Don't forget the endless and amusing conniptions they give to Gerry Harvey of "Hardly Normal", king of wildly inflated prices.
Not quite.
95 Good
98 Meh
98 SE Good
ME Bad
Actually ME looked quite good on screenshots. It just looked bad when you used it, because the UI which looked almost exactly like 98SE would be punctuated with repetitive errors and then the whole screen would turn a familiar ugly blue colour.
I agree. I don't buy Sony ANYTHING, not even music put out on one of their labels.
That said, they have always made good inexpensive headphones, and a solid go-to. The key is to find alternatives.
1) Sennheiser HD 202
2) Koss PortaPro
3) Audio Technica M20 or M30
4) Superlux HD 681 looks very good too
