but will it play Crysis?

that said, what sort of memory (short-term storage) is used? Would that be the current bottleneck?
It would definitely be interesting to see how this continues to develop.
It might be too late for bitcoins but perhaps one of the altcoins can benefit.
Or for weather prediction/modeling.

Then again, the dark side comes to mind to (skynet, SID 6.7, etc.)

I've never voted for her since I don't share her views.

the funny thing is...with regards to the NSA spying stuff, neither do her constituents.

so.....they've solved everything else including...world hunger?

yea....on a side note, you are luckily....ff on my machine goes to 1.8GB in just a few hours....usually tops off at around 2.4GB until I have to 86 it.

oh, and for the AC, 4) repeat 3

this IS from one of the sub-departments of DHS; I'm not surprised that they didn't really bother to read the line that says "Color is not claimed as a feature of the mark."

Customs agents aren't lawyers, let alone trademark lawyers or even paralegals.

This just highlights the need for adding an appeals process to the whole thing.
(that and perhaps ICE needs some basic legalese comprehension requirements for their agents)

Louis CK does (https://buy.louisck.net/help)

It was even covered on here

Sure, it's not a "store" with a plethora of titles but the request wasn't specific. :D

...restricting them to designated areas....you know...a phone booth (call box, or hell...make one look like TARDIS)

amen!

if I could afford it, I'd get myself a Tesla Model S

Range is a concern too.

also, some of the other electric cars....are just ugly.
If Tesla can make an electric car that looks as nice and sexy as the Model S, why can't the other manufacturers?
Perhaps, they don't want to or think it won't sell.
Of course, if you make something that people want and at a reasonable price, it wouldn't be a problem.

read the PDF; seemed like they were trying to cover their asses.

There are plenty of articles and editorials that say otherwise:

His lack of finesse and social skills coupled by the complete (technical) incompetence of those at city hall definitely contributed to his downfall.
If I recall, didn't Kamala Harris put the passwords into public record, thus forcing the city IT department to go around and changing passwords on all devices to prevent from someone from "f*cking sh*t up"?

The funny thing is that the statute (California Penal Code Sec. 502(c)(5)) mentions "disrupts or causes the disruption of computer services or denies or causes the denial of computer services" yet....during this whole fiasco, the network was rock-f-ing-solid (at least until the passwords were put into public record without seal).

Not sure why the attorney didn't bring this point up.
If I was Terry Childs, I'd fire the attorney and then sue the city for breach of contract (oddly, for at least the same amount).

Very strange and hypocritical.

Especially since Oracle owns several products that are open-source (some that started off as open source as well).

Let's see....

VirtualBox (it has an open source edition)
MySQL
OpenSolaris
Java
Oracle Linux (Oracle repackaged version of RHEL and not started from a company they bought out)
And Oracle Linux is used as a base for the following product lines from Oracle:
        Oracle Exadata
        Oracle Exalogic
        Oracle Big Data Appliance
        Oracle Exalytics
        Oracle Database Appliance

I'm sure there's more that people can list....but for me....I don't give a rat's arse about Oracle...shoot, I was rooting for the Kiwi's in the America's Cup and I live in the Bay Area.

Interesting, 800 tickets...1000 by year's end.

Now if every one of those people who got a ticket does a written declaration, the cop would have to write that may written answers to the court or the ticket will be dismissed.
Effectively, eliminating him from writing tickets that stick since he is either spending his time writing responses and not issuing new tickets OR his tickets get easily dismissed.

At least in California, you can do a written declaration first and if that doesn't work, you still have the option of going to court in person.
The citing officer does not get overtime pay for responding to written declarations but does receive overtime for appearing in court.
Depending on the workload of the citing officer, tickets can be dismissed pretty easily.

wait...even the Holy ones?

What about the foam ones? or the ones that are really balloons (but not filled up with anything yet)?

the resealable kind are nice...they can do double-duty: block spies and allow me to go swimming.

note to self: When visiting Moscow, pack mylar bags.

dang...I was about to say the same...

but yea...best way to sanitize is by not using Adobe Acrobat (or Acrobat Reader).

on OSX and many Linux distros have their own builtin viewer ("Preview" in OSX, and "Display" at least on Ubuntu).

Also, you can probably use Google Apps to do the same as well.
