Hah, right. I'll gloss over the number of assumptions about me that you make and we'll just address the real crux of the issue. Biking 15 miles to work is not practical in 100+ degree weather with humidity averaging between 60 an

So, I know we are looking for hypocrisy here because gasp hypocrisy, but there really isn't any. You were providing your information to the government, making sure nobody other than the government sees it isn't at conflict with

I'd imagine it also has a lot to do with climate. Where I live is too hot and humid to bike most months out of the year without having to take a shower when I get where I was going. Not really practical. EDIT: http://en.wi

The idea is that the monitor will only refresh after it is given a frame to render from the graphics card, which makes the monitor sync to the framerate of the graphics card, not the other way around. From what I can tell, this basically m

That is part of it. The other part is that for smaller ships, you end up having over half the ship manned by sailors who can handle the engine room and reactor. The Navy has enough trouble finding and keeping sailors for their nuclear pow

Nuclear, but the plant was fairly loud. That or the phone system sucked, not sure which. The effect was still the same - lots of shouting and guessing what was said. :-D

Well, that brought back some memories. Shouting into sound powered phones over the din of the engine room of a submarine is one thing, but trying to actually hear what the other person is shouting back... it must be the audio equivalent of

Yeah, violating the civil rights of Europeans should be done by European governments only - they all have similar spying programs in place, and have had them for a while now. They are probably pretty concerned about the appearance of being

The only reason it is currently profitable to make drugs at all (and the reason we've seen research in so many) is that US consumers will buy them at market rate with IP protection, i.e., too expensive for most places. If we didn&#x27

Of course 'health care' is a good thing, that's a fairly meaningless platitude. This particular implementation being good or bad has yet to be determined. I personally don't find the ACA to be a 'good' system

That's generally how nations work. If you aren't subject to their laws and don't pay their taxes, you don't get the rights granted to the citizens. I can't show up in the UK and demand they treat my health problem

You... managed to completely ignore the 'fast trial settings' in your TL;DR. From the perspective of a law firm, this saves an incredible amount of time and money.

Why not include the rest? Or at least, the rest of what was mentioned in the article. They've already been much better in the ARM SoC space than they were on the more traditional GPU side, and I really hope that some day I can just a
