In fact, I think they tweaked the code to read the images over the past seven years.

Why didn't they outline the islands directly north of the "blip" that are smears on the first pic and outlined on the sharper picture years later?
If there is a decent navigation app available then they will make a dandy automotive platform, at a hundred bucks. That reminds me, I need to leave a bug report about Viago being a piece of shit.
Stealing US Army software or stealing IP and proprietary data related to Xbox Live?
I suspect that it was the same thing. Perhaps this is part of the "peace dividend"? Full Spectrum Warrior was developed from a military training tool. Perhaps there is similar crossover here.
"warez". Are you 12 years old?
No, more like three times that. But when I was into that, that's what it was still called, which tells you how long ago it was.
Relax. I'm quite sure this feature can be turned off.
Perhaps I will demonstrate some interest if it is demonstrated that it can be completely excised. But among my concerns is that the hooks meant for this purpose will be easy for malware to employ.
Conservatives loves to tout how anti-business California is,
Well, I'm a Liberal. California is really anti-small-business, if I left that out then I sincerely apologize. If they can make big wads of money on you at once then you're in, baby.
but they never explain why California's economy PER-CAPITA is larger than 33 other states.
Hollywood. Cause: It was actually near some of the least desirable land in the USA, which studios could snap up for nothing. Silicon Valley. Cause: Education, climate. An actual win. Food production. Cause: Environmental sensitivity was discovered before California was completely shit upon, also coastal climate.
Could be worse, they could have named it Windows One.
Having followed your posts on Slashdot now for years,
Thank you! I appreciate all of my followers.
you never needed an excuse to bash Microsoft so why use one now?
I don't need an excuse when I have a reason.
Windows 7 is the end for me, thanks. I pretty much felt that way anyway, but now I really double-extra plus feel that way. Thanks for helping make that decision simple, Redmond.
Keeping it local only spreads the impact,
Yes, that is the idea. When your impact is positive, you want to spread it around. If you made an oasis of the place where Burning Man is now, it would benefit relatively few people since people don't live there now; unless you made a whole town, and a lot of people lived there. But I don't propose spontaneous creation of townships, because it's not legally feasible.
It's interesting that the politicians that *I* would describe as "liberal Democrats" are now the authoritarians.
The Democratic party is centrist and pro-big-business, especially in California. California is one of the least friendly states to small business. Not only is the state a bastard (and I'm not talking about environmental regulations here, I am generally in favor of those except when they are used to do stupidity, e.g. preventing a CostCo in Ukiah due to "concerns" about "habitat" when the land in question is a big fucking waste of concrete that harbors nothing but some plucky weeds-in-cracks and which is both an eyesore and an ecological failure) but there's over fifty counties, and they all do business differently. The real leftists have all moved on to other parties.
I posted this one to point out how little things change. I guess I should have posted at least one more versions lyrics
Because he couldn't do anything. That was glorious. Moonbeam is still loved, so he can still do things, or get away with not doing things that we really want because he doesn't have to give a fuck about his approval rating. The idiots will approve of him (if on no other basis, as the lesser of evils) regardless.
Note, I am about as liberal as they come. But I voted for Arnold, and I'd do it again. The only part of it I'm sorry about is that it cost the people money. We'd have wound up with Moonbeam again regardless.
California über alles
California above all others
(California über alles) (2x) [Dead Kennedys]
I'm your governor Pete Wilson, ya know
The baddest governor to ever grab the mic and go
BOOOM!
Gimme a budget and watch me hack it!
Gimme a beat and I'll show you how to jack it!
I give the rich a giant tax loophole
I leave the poor living in a poophole
At a time when Aids is in a crisis
I cut health care and I raise prices
Sales tax, snack tax, excise tax
Information attack with a newspaper tax
Hit the pocket books of working families
Increase tuition at the universities
Some day I'll command all o' you
Even your kids are gonna pray to me in school
Soon I'm gonna be the president
You might remember the last one this state sent

I'm so proud to know the Great Communicator
Wanna be known as the Great Incarcerator
I'll blow environmentalists away
And I'll be the führer some day
I'll keep cuttin' Public Education
even though we rank 54th in the nation
I've got a plan for all the minorities
Send'em to the California Youth Authorities
From San Francisco Urban Elementary
to Pelican Bay State Penitentiary
There they can work for the master race
and always wear a happy face
Close your eyes, it can't happen here
Big Brother in a squad car's comin' near
Come enjoy the surf and the sun
and keep California number one!

Now it's 1992
Knock knock on your front door, yo guess who
It's the suede denim secret police
They've come to your house for your long haired niece
Gonna send her off to a camp
'cause she's been accused of growing hemp
Don't you worry it's only a shower
And now for your clothes here's a pretty flower
Gonna die on malathion gas
The serpent's egg has already been hatched
People starvin' and livin' in the streets
because they tried to mess with me, President Pete!
