Funny you bring up MLK considering it was him who invited the news cameras to show how fucked up the police were in the south. Before that when there was news of dead people at a civil rights protest people would chalk it up to uppity niggers. After the cameras arrived recording footage of people being assaulted at sit-ins, being attacked by dogs, or being so brutally beat they couldn't be identified only then did you get change.

They would try and get you with resisting arrest. So the entire pretense for arresting you is resisting arrest. Doesn't matter what the resistance is; vocal, thought, physical.

There are other crazy laws on the books like this, like being drunk...in public.

So you are perfectly fine with, and encourage the CIA to go after and do harm to his family? If the videos and cables are worth that much that innocent people should be killed over it than I hope he releases all of it, let the people hold judgement about what the gov't is doing in our name.

I beg to differ, I had a Sony GDM-something that was 21" and was excellent at 1600x1200. I got it for free because the company was throwing them out by the truckload and replacing them with Apple Cinema Displays. I would have taken 2 but they weighed a ton and I don't think my desk would take kindly to 300lbs resting on it. 21", even then, was a niche market all the players in it (Sony, NEC) handled that resolution with aplomb.

This might not apply to everywhere, but most employees are offsite. The one I lived next to was basically most of the day. I would occassionally see a Black SUV speed out the docks every few months, but there was no company parking in the vicinity and no cars leaving the building so I assume except for the security guards no one was there.

The guys I work with that own a few lanes at the local datacenter work downtown. But the datacenter is out by the airport. They don't go out there that often, it takes me a about a week for them to upload a few terabytes for me.

The place is a something to really see. Ground floor is parking, entrance etc. Floor to ceiling is about 15 feet. Miami is about 4-5 feet above sea level. The entire thing is encased in a hurricane/bomb proof structure and designed to withstand galeforce winds. So you'd need a 20 foot storm surge (low pressure area that creates a bubble of water) before you got to to the area where servers are stored. I'm not even sure most servers are on the 2nd story. They could keep more equipment there and put server/switches/backups on the higherlevels.

I used to live right across the street from the Terramark NAP in downtown Miami. Then the fuckers put up 3 big satellite dishes on the roof and blocked my view of the bay. I'm not bitter but I used to get so much tail with that view. :-)

You buy the LEDs for the specific frequencies you need, notably red and blue. All other colors are filtered out by the chlorophyll in the algae of the polyps.

BTW our eyesight is more sensitive to green, so those other 2 colors would look dim to us if power was equal between RGB LEDs.

It's all about IP. It wouldn't be horribly difficult to put a GPU and CPU on the same die. BUT, Intel doesn't GPU manufacturers getting into the x86 business and GPU makers certainly aren't going to give Intel any of their technology and get cut out the market. Intels attempts at GPUs has been less than spectacular. Good enough for Word and Excel. Not good at modern gaming.

So for the foreseeable future CPUs and GPUs will be treated as seperate entities.

The town I used to live in when water metering was put in place the justification was they needed a metric to know how much to charge for treatment. Acquiring the water was fairly cheap, it's the effluent that cost money. So if you used 100m^3 of water than that is what they charged you for. Previously, everyone used septic tanks. And the water was free. But environmental concerns eventually put them out of favor. Plus if you waste a lot of water it turned your property into swamp land. Some people did have basins to catch rainwater but, I think, the impact on revenue was miniscule so the city didn't care.

You could be correct. But what has come out of the meetings so far isn't very promising. Leaders are reluctant to share it with constituents because they know they could never pass it in its current form. If you want to see how secrecy can topple a legislative process look no further than the US healthcare bill. The much more public House version passed with what most people would be satisfied with. The extra secret Senate version was a travesty. Meetings with healthcare companies, no input from the public (who later on expressed their anger the only way they could by firing these idiots) and here we are today. A bill that cannot pass in its current form because no one likes it. The good news is the WH, senate, have finally realized the healthcare industry doesn't keep you in washington, people that vote do. Ignoring their questions long enough means you'll be out a job soon. ACTA is like that. Other, more meaningful, treaties (like child slavery, sex trafficking) have passed in less time with majority support. If ACTA was so great it wouldn't take half a decade to be in the "discussion" phase. But it's garbage, they know it and they know we know it.

Yes, because dragging the entire PC down to the internet cafe instead of a 10€ USB key also makes sense.

For the love of $DIETY.
CDMA != WCDMA. You might as well be saying you can't connect to the internet unless you have RJ-45

You would think so but you'd be incorrect. The reason of why the US uses HFCS and other countries don't is because of the sugar lobby and the corn lobby. Sugar is cheap to produce so the sugar lobby had the Gov't slap a tariff on it for sugar imports. Great for US sugar producers, not so great for everyone else including you, me, and Coca-Cola. Corn produces got the government to subsidize the price of corn. So the price you pay for corn is cheaper than it costs to grow. Now farmers are producing lots of corn because they know they'll be getting paid by the government no matter what it costs them. They've been getting more inventive with it too. Alternative fuel, alternative polymers, and alternative sugars like HFCS. Unfortunately these subsidies only work in the US. So while the UK pays the real price for corn, they also pay the real (inexpensive) price of sugar. Hence, this is why Coca-Cola in the UK won't be turning to HFCS anytime soon.

There is a standard set of sizes for Li-Ion batteries. I cracked open my laptop pack and what I saw was 6 cells of slightly larger than AA cells. A little bit of searching and I found a supplier where a pack of 10 cost $50 w/ shipping. There was space in the case for 2 more so I upgraded the pack from 6 to 8 and adjusted the wiring and thermal probes to match.
