y66 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 World poverty is falling. Between 1970 and 2006, the global poverty rate has been cut by nearly three quarters. The percentage of the world population living on less than $1 a day (in PPP-adjusted 2000 dollars) went from 26.8% in 1970 to 5.4% in 2006 (Figure 1).Source: Yglesias et al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberlour10 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 in german common language every JACK is a BAUER (or BUBE) lol really? That's probably how they came up with his name then. Now it's just synonymous with badass is euchre a german game, then? Euchre appears to have been introduced into the United States by the early German settlers of the State of Pennsylvania,[3] and from that state gradually to have been disseminated throughout the nation. It has been more recently theorized that the game and its name derive from an eighteenth-century Alsatian card game named Juckerspiel,[4] a derivative of Triomphe It is the game responsible for introducing the Joker card into modern packs; this was invented around 1860 to act as a top trump or best bower (from the German word Bauer, "farmer", denoting also the Jack[1]) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I left the room for 10 minutes and when I returned, there was a little window with a countdown on it. I thought it was some sort of evil virus* or something but then I realized it was just Windows wanting to restart my computer without my permission (not clicking "no" for 5 minutes doesn't count as permission). Is this fair? Is there any justification to this, moral or otherwise? *well some people think Windows is an evil virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 As much as I have never liked windows based operating systems, I must say that 7 has exceeded all expectations and has yet to draw my ire after 3 months of operation. No lock-ups, no crashes, no continuous verifications. Just sensible and efficient computing. Maybe Bill had to retire for them to produce something reasonable? :) :ph34r: :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed lately when my computer is on idle for a bit of time my computer freezes up, and I get an error msg saying my "driver" has stopped. After that my computer screen goes haywire and the font goes crazy. I have to reboot to make the screen go back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well seems that force is the only thing that gets many Windows user to perform security updates..... For what it's worth, there is a trick to turn it off. google “NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers” for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shyams Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Watching Vikings @ Saints right now. Got me wondering... What is the correct pronunciation of Brett Favre's surname? I've heard the US network commentators call him (sounds like) "FAARV" whereas the English commentator prefers to call him (sounds) "FAAVR" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 The original French pronunciation would have been Fah ve r-r-ruh (rolled "R" with the v slurred into the rolled "R") He certainly must have a "usual" familial pronunciation that is unlikely to be the above.

If you listen to the Fox Sports guy, he almost certainly pronounces the R before the V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose windows is smart enough not to reboot if there is a program that wants to ask you whether you want to save something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose windows is smart enough not to reboot if there is a program that wants to ask you whether you want to save something. Actually I would not bet on that. I found that solution after I lost an hour of work, when my computer rebooted while I was on the phone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
