It's a shame that they didn't leak the keys for a game that someone actually wants to play.
It is? I managed to save quite a bit of money (a few hundred) building my own computer rather than buying a pre-built one with nearly the same specs.
From this we can infer that your hourly billable rate is vanishingly small. Sorry to hear it, man. Good luck finding better work.
At work we sometimes work on projects which span multiple offices. We have used a pair of Tandberg units, one sitting on our desk in California, the other sitting on a desk in New York. It is great to be able to say "hey Bob, can you explain this bit of code?" when you see that Bob is sitting at his desk and not deep in conversation with someone else. Much more productive than resorting to email, phone, or IM all the time.
Sadly, I've heard that those Tandbergs are super expensive...
My heart overflows for this poor oppressed Botnet operator.
Good decent people own guns in illinois and have their FOID card, but they aren't the ones doing drive by shooting or holding up liquor stores or banks.
Fascinating. Thank you for the details!
I was amazed to read this entire article and not learn:
a) what do they do with the data they collect? I'd have loved to learn what sensor data is valuable for, and how it changes the dynamics of the race. (Who cares how many bits they ship if you have no idea if the bits are _useful_ bits?)
b) how much of an impact does this have on the race? Does this make a 1% difference in track times, 80%, something in the middle?
Anyone have a link to an article which explains _why_ they collect all this data?
It's fairly common to chamber a round when you are carrying, especially concealed
...and especially, it should be noted, when you're an idiot.
This one time, I was at a bank getting hooked up with a savings account. The friendly bankerperson doing the paperwork with me said "Wow. I've never seen anyone actually read the form before signing it."
You would think that the idea of handing hundreds or thousands of dollars to total strangers who promise to take good care of it would motivate people to cast their eyeballs over some turgid prose, but it doesn't. I don't think there's anything that can motivate anyone to read anything *especially* warnings that most of the time don't result in the machine halting and catching fire.
Slashdot is so refreshing. On other boards the whole conversation consists of this:
Them: "5 compelling anecdotes"
Me: anecdote.plural() != data
Them: angry_mob.eviscerate(troll)
Me: assert(flounce)
YES! I am not alone!
Before thinking that an IFR ticket will let you fly a 182 anytime, look into the icing conditions in your area. For example, in the SF Bay Area most cloudy days occur in the winter, and a large fraction of those days are also prime icing conditions -- grounding most single engine planes. (Airliners have extensive anti-ice equipment, and usually climb or descend through the icing layer so quickly it is a non-issue.)
An IFR ticket is really educational, fun to get, and does expand your options when flying. But in many otherwise fantastic places for GA flying, it won't give you year-round on-demand transportation.
Female. Feminist according to http://tomatonation.com/?p=677 which tends to encompass a *lot* of people (though not all) who say "I'm not a feminist but." I agree that trolling people with no sense of humor, which is a superset of what most folks seem to mean when they say "feminist", can be an entertaining pastime though.
Let's take back the word for "us" and let all the subsets of "trollable people" find new words to describe themselves.
