Don't worry. In the confusion, Quebec was suddenly taken over by mysterious groups of men armed with baguettes and wearing berets over their balaclavas.
The French foreign minister denied any knowledge of these incidents, though the interview was cut short when journalists asked about the provenance of the bits of poutine that were still hanging from his chin.
Kickstarter has always been very clear that your money didn't bring you any equity in the business. There is a very good reason for that: by the time Kickstarter was launched, soliciting investment from the general public for specific ventures was quite simply illegal. Crowd-funded investment was only made legal by the 2012 JOBS act.
If you really want to get equity from the businesses you sponsor, you can go to WeFunder or other sites. Kickstarter is not and has never been, and has been pretty explicit about it from day one.
"Eric, meet Tom"?
I'd rather say "Eric, meet Marie-Antoinette."
When accounting for career, hours worked, experience, etc.
The assumption here is that all these factors are under voluntary control of the women themselves, as opposed to being forced upon them by employers and societal expectations.
We recently had an issue with HP servers showing temperatures of 255C on motherboard sensors...
They said this was a firmware issue and told us to flash the bios to fix this. We did... the sensor now shows -127C. Big help.
"Big help" - Why are you complaining? This is great! Think of the electricity savings! Not only can you stop cooling these servers, you can actually use them to cool your other hardware!
You're not thinking outside the box, that's the problem with you young people.
"HP Software Cooling Systems [tm] - unleash the power of unsigned char!"
They were printed in both English and French, to avoid breaking Canadian bilingualism laws.
Actually, they weren't. Which is the *real* reason why the Quebec police busted them.
If Thomas Edison were alive today, he wouldn't actually "invent" or "make" anything. He'd just write up and file patents.
List of Edison patents. All 1,093 of them.
The real reason your GPU failed is obviously that you're looking at the screen wrong!
I started using the Web before search engines became popular.
I'm not going back.
Did you miss the "post-study" bit in the title and abstract? Caffeine was delivered after stimulus presentation, excluding a purely sensory effect.
I guess you could do with a cup of coffee!
If it was the Democrats giving billions to the farmers, then how come they all vote Republican?
To keep Democrats from giving money to other farmers. Duh!
That stuff totally needs to go into a fortune file. And then be included in the default fortune files of all major distros.
The crazy thing is, even though you are right that these are low specs by modern standards, these are still basically laptop-level specs. Hell, it would beat a 2006 MacBook *Pro*:

The convergence between phones and computers is nigh. The Ubuntu Edge concept was ahead of its time, but soon enough smartphones will have enough computing power to fill 95% of people's needs. When that happens, who would want to buy a huge, noisy desktop box rather than just plug a screen+keyboard into the phone that you carry with you all the time anyway?
Same thing for laptops. How long will it take before the majority of "laptops" are actually empty shells into which you can just plug your phone?
Or maybe they don't care whether it's a total order or not, because they have things like Elo ratings to approximate that in real time.
It so happens that Carlssen has been absolutely destroying the Elo classification for years now. Fun fact: the gap between Magnus Carlssen and number 2 on the FIDE list (Levon Aronian) is equal to the gap between number 2 and number 20! (Source: http://ratings.fide.com/top.phtml?list=men )
What a Championship gives you is "the man who beat the man". It's more a honorary title than an objective assessment of your chess capability (though historically there's been reasonable correlation between the two), but people happen to care about that stuff too.
