$18 Billion makes sense to me, if it is retaliation for the ridiculously high fines put upon a few American companies by EU governments. As far as VW not paying it, just put 50-100% import tax on VW cars until it's paid off. Either they trash their stock value by having to bow out of the US...

Santa Monica too. So, it's LA by a mile with 60 shops. Next is San Francisco with 46 Bellevue is right across Lake Washington from Seattle, so give Seattle 44 shops, tying it with Austin. After those 4 hubs you might as well say "and the rest"

The author of the article is a troll, and you are falling for it. She has seen the anger generated by, and at, "outragists" and is turning it into clicks for her articles by being even more ridiculous. The only way to stop these people is to not give them your time and attention. Recognize a...

"I was nowhere near the scene of the murder."

On a related note, Steam is now offering refunds on games (within the rules it spells out)

For everyone who didn't read the article, which I'm guessing is everyone, as usual, it is talking about not even having electric lighting. So, if you have nothing to do and are forced to be in total darkness, you tend to sleep more. Thank God someone did this study. Money well spent.

Had a Comcast tech over to fix an issue a couple weeks ago. From the sound of it, you have nailed it exactly. He said they are bringing the call centers back to the USA sometime in 2015. So, new vendor, yay.

Congrats on being the only poster so far who understood the point! (opening the discussion of "impersonal responsibility", if I'm allowed to coin a phrase) Still, I'm not sure your solution is ideal. It removes intent from the equation. That could put a serious damper on innovation on AI...

Ugh, I think it's depressing to see so many desperately unhappy people. I can't imagine what awful lives these people must lead to be so filled with rage. Tho, I'm sure they are all millionaires, with beautiful wives and kids... on the Internet. :)

That's not the "original" Castle Wolfenstein.. The original can be found here: http://www.virtualapple.org/castlewolfensteindisk.html Bet there's not too many other people on here who remember that one. (Yes, I played it back in the 80's) I wonder why they didn't include it as an Easter...

Or your space station? Yah, I'm not really worried about it right now either. It's 20 years down the line when the same type of corporate deadhead that ruins every American company clogs up middle and upper management at Space X. They'll hire the former captain of the Costa Concordia to fly a...

Everything you just said exactly correlates to the private section too: CEOs of large corporations can't be voted out by the general public and they retire with golden parachutes not matter how badly they screw up. Plugging along and doing a poor job is definitely not limited to the public...

That if you call out the individual, instead of the anonymous blob of a "company", you are going to have a much more powerful effect. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I remember a journalist calling out the man behind a fake console called "The Phantom." It was very effective. Now, who was that? My memory is foggy. :)

Everything that happens at a major corporation happens for 1 reason: someone in management needs a line item for their resume to try move on to a new higher-paid management job. It doesn't matter if the decision makes sense or not. And the next person to fill the job will just reverse the...

What kind of viewing distance from your TV are you going to need to appreciate 4K TV resolution on average size screen? Less than 5 feet? So, basically, you are sitting at your desk with a 4K TV for a monitor or you need to buy a 100" 4K TV for your living room. Sounds very sensible.

This is what happens when a committee tries to be creative.

Taking both sides in the argument, huh? Whatever argument is convenient to bash the Democrats. In future, try to keep your hypocrisy spread out over multiple threads so it's more difficult to quote.

I am interested in checking on a price for a super-cheap quad-core system. I saw this thread in the FAQ, but it doesn't appear to have been updated since March. Anyone have suggestions on an updated parts list to build a cheap-o bare bones quad core just for folding? Thanks! Larson

Hey Jon, Here's a little OpenOffice spreadsheet to figure out exactly what you need to win: http://rapidshare.com/files/59242170/FoldingOvertake.ods.html Of course, its only as accurate as the data that goes into it. :) You just need to put in your points and BlueFish's and each of your...

Hmmmmm.....maybe I phrased that poorly. I didn't mean to imply that you weren't working. I just meant that hardfolding being down was kinda a flag that something was wrong, despite the fact that hardforum seems to be cruising along despite whatever forum server problems you've been having. I...

So, what's the latest news? Just checking in, since Hardfolding is still down. Are you still working on the Hardforum problem?

This thread has the info about the outage: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1215600 However, Kyle isn't responding to people asking about the Hardfolding coming back up, so I am interpreting that as "Getting Hardforum fixed is a higher priority."

Sorry about that! I used to fold for team 33 a few years ago. I lost interest and when I started up again this year, I couldn't remember what name I was folding under. So, at least one of those is mine :o I have a solution though! Everyone with multiple boxes, folds them each under a...

Ummmmm.....okay, the only other thing I can think of is screen resolution. On my 2 machines, I am running: 1024x768 - laptop 1280x1024 - desktop I'd raise them higher but one is a laptop and the other is max res on a LCD. I can say that on the desktop screen, the ad shows up further...

Kyle: He's referring to this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1204180 It is happening for me too, but only in Firefox, and at a different height on the page. In IE it is way down at the bottom of the screen, where it belongs. I am running fully patched Windows XP, and...
