However I also wanted some with more substance, for if I'm traveling or something like that.

You could try going for proper old school ports, like Angband and variants.

I've not actually tried these, but they look pretty faithful, and are free. Close to 1/4 a century old, now.

Having no mod points for "define murder", I will therefore expound on it: Since Roe V. Wade, the right not to be murdered has again been restricted to exclude a large class of people.

Moreover, the right to not be murdered was still only limited to "the right not to be murdered by the government without due process. " Sometimes evil politicians made use of it; Sometimes, as with the Downwind Experiments or the Tuskegee experiments, they ignored it. Recently, the Executive department of the government has pointed out theat they don't need to pay any attention at all to that right.

So theright not to be murdered is tenuous at best.

The line between enterprise and government is actually quite blurry. Actually, let me go farther: the line between property ownership and government, or family and government is also blurry.

consider in The Odyssey, when Ulyssees returned home, and judged his wife's serving maids, hanging them all on a single rope for squabbling. Definitely evil government.

Consider the authoritarian role of fatherand mother in a family of four, two of the kids being toddlers: again, a government, hopefully benign.

Ungoverned industry only works for very small groups. More than 3-4, and a workgroup will waste its time without a leader.

Yes, it is obvious that the guy wants to be ruler of Lanai, in some sense or other. But tobe an effective ruler, he's going to need the support of his people, because rulers have only two tools to work with: influence, and coercion. As long as Lanai is American, the amount of coercion he can exert is quite limited. So he's going to have to try to coopt their good will.

Or that they have gotten CPU manufacturers to add back doors there, or that Google IS NSA, or that they arepretty much able to bully whom they want --and do (remember Paulson bullying the president of Bank of America into doing what was good for Paulson, against his fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders), or that the NSA can crack the strong encryption that we have.

Honsestly, I don't think that last is likely: it is too hard compared to the others. But I named only a few of many possibilities.

What's the worry? Carnivore was as bad when we were growing up. Worry should be reserved for things you can do something about.

See, Snowden's big mistake was not having step 2 in place: 1) reveal all the horrible things being done by the wicked, 2)??+ 3) freedom, justice, and the American way.

But to get there from here, you can't just have ought tos and shoulddas. And to wrest power from an evil organization like the NSA takes organization and greater evil. So if you succeed, all you are left with is greater evil. You can't get there from here.

So whistleblowing is no good. It doesn't work. Nor does revolution, or civil disobedience... take a lesson from The Rise And Fall of the Roman empire. When Rome fell, no slave revolt did it. Rather, the Roman Senate in a normal gesture of magnanimity, voted to feed the Vandals and then voted to contract the job to a corrupt Senator who was supposed to steal most of the money. Idiot stole it all,, and the vandals came into Rome looking for the promised food.as they left, the slaves went with them rather than starve, and Rome's economy...

Stopped.

So much for Rome.

Honestly, just wait it out. And forget the whistleblower protection laws. They're a low tech version of the honeypot.

Meanwhile, though, yeah, I stillwent over to whitehouse.gov and signed both petitions: Snowden AND Manning.

Ummm, how about the University of Utah's chemical fusion lab?

The other side is of the traditional separate component PC is the tangle of cables cascading down the back of the desk onto the floor, which typically doesn't get touched by anyone who vacuums, resulting in a long standing pile of detritus and dust.

My PC has 3 cables out the back... DVI, Power, RJ45. You can lose one of those with wireless - if you want to use wireless all the time, I personally don't. Power is pretty essential. The DVI is the one cable you don't need on a laptop or tablet (my DVI is a faux HDMI which also does sound, too). It just plugs into any screen, and works.

Now... the fact my PC weighs about 20kg, has no sides and bits falling out of it, and refuses to boot for a few minutes after it has been moved... irrelevant, I still move it about the house relatively regularly.

That's only defining it in terms of posessions, which is an iffy issue at best. Instead, perhaps define it as the point at which destruction of wealth passed creation of wealth: though many would put that 60 years ago, , arguably I'd put it just about 80 years ago.

I'm going to point out that when your case is rotten, you fight the battle in the public sphere.

Having read the article, it looks to me like it was practically a PR release by apple. That being the case, I suspect that for some reason, Apple isn't likely to win this one.

Why???I don't know. But will point out that the law firm involved seems to have acted with privledged information against the interests of Flatworld. It is entirely possible that the same law firm represents two companies, and if that is the case here, then their liability could be huge--to Flatworld. It does not matter that one of their lawyers also owns a noncontrolling interest in the company, any more than if one owned stock in Disney and the lawsuit was between Disney and Apple.

Nor is it reasonable to require the plaintiff to suddenly change law firms. That looks like a delay-and-increase-costs move.

I suspect Apple therefore is soon going to be quietly making payments.

It is utterly stupid that the way a person is treated is based upon the location in which their mother pushed them through the birth canal and into the world. We give lip service to freedom, democracy and the right to achieve lofty goals... as long as an individual is "American," "Canadian," "Swiss" and so on. If not, we push ethics aside and condone surveillance, drone attacks, assassinations, invasions and all manner of nastiness -- like a very large pack of wolves.

It's a matter of statistics. Not all people following a modern western diet and lifestyle will develop cancer, as not all prehistoric people on a paleo diet would be cancer-free. But what is seen is that there is a substantial increase in cancer developing on certain aspects of modern "factory" diet and lifestyle.

The life expectancy of people in prehistoric times was about 30 on average. Not many people get cancer before they are 30. The one major thing that means we are more likely to get cancer than people in prehistoric times is the fact we live longer.

There's also evidence of very poor diets in prehistoric times, eg rickets and other vitamin deficiencies. I'll take my chances, to be honest... I've already lasted 5 years longer than the average prehistoric man.

A different standard is applied to Israel than to everyone else.

Yup, like nuclear weapon arming, and massive military investment from the US. The soviet union is long dead.

Firstly... never, ever source the daily mail. It is always wrong.

OK, I exaggerate... it gets the weather right one time out of ten.

The Mail is not a reliable news source, by any standard. You might as well be listening to your neighbour's chicken's cat's banker's lawyer.

GPUs need access to very fast memory, and that's not something that can be provided on memory modules.

Isn't that all onboard the graphics card now?

In my experience, and in just about all the benchmarks I've looked at ever, memory speed has absolutely 0 effect apart from some very specific situations. In many cases, lower latency, slower RAM will be quicker.

It's all a bit pointless, really, IMO, since RAM is RAM is RAM. I've never seen a system significantly (ie more than 10%) improve by adding different memory. More RAM, that's a different issue.... you can never have too much.

Har. Wouldn't Monkey model be designated T-72-O? Monkey in Russian is . ;)
