IT already has. Most people that buy a BLuRay disc that try to use the "UltraViolet Digital Copy" get pissed as it's already expired most of the time.

I get questions a LOT about it, I point the people at Handbrake and AnyDVDHD so they can make their own that will work on all devices and never expire.

You can proofread documentation. so you don get the following.

Insert batteries in the proper way, happy fun is achieved! Do not go!

Or pretty much everything you see on this site full of examples.... http://www.engrish.com/

OR you can do tech support, China companies would KILL for a native english speaker to sit in the call center and answer angry phone calls.

You would have to code like a moron to make it IE unfriendly.

Code to HTML standards and you will be fine. Not everything has to be WEB 4.0Beta with fricking blinking beeping and sliding crap everywhere. In fact most sites that are crap embrace all that garbage. Look at how much slower Slashdot became when they added in all that garbage that really was not needed.

Comment: What's the Calculation? Where's the Paper? (Score 2) 187

The calculation in the study required 54 million processor hours on the IBM BlueGene/P supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory, the equivalent of 281 days of computing with 8,000 processors.

And yet the entire article does not contain a single equation, much less a link to the paper. I am disappoint.

So why the hypocrisy?

Because we're talking about attacks of Nanotech and Nuclear workers, and you've just derailed a derailed Star War's meme joke with this Culture War bullshit.

Honestly, can we go three stories without some American Cult-War/Political derailing in the first thread. Can the mods please apply the "Offtopic" option instead of giving an "Interesting" rating to every random brain-fart?

And could people at least attempt to re-rail derailed threads back to the topic. For example: "Yeah Eco-anarchists. basically jerks who think their own views and options are more important than all other topics, and who will inject themselves drastically into even completely unrelated matters just to gain attention for their cause." So, let's get back to the topic.
