As soon as I hear anybody say that they've developed an impenetrable password scheme, I call their bluff. No, I'm not going to be the one break their scheme, but it will surely be broken.
Your logic doesn't make sense. If Apple was posting a $10 billion per year loss, I wouldn't maintain their stock unless I thought there was a reasonable chance that they could recover. However, whether they are using green energy or coating their walls with baby seal skins wouldn't be the motivator for me to sell their stock. The fact that that they are losing money is the motivator.
However, that hypothetical scenario is just that: hypothetical. They are not losing money. They are making money for themselves and for their investors. And a majority of their shareholders agree with the tactics they are taking. If I were purely motivated by a company thinking solely of profits, I would invest in Walmart, but I don't because I don't like what they stand for. On the contrary, I do like what Apple stands for. Are they perfect? No, not even remotely. But I believe, as do many others, that they are heading in the right direction.
Are you familiar with the law? It doesn't define best interest. Not all shareholders a motivated purely by profit. Those that are motivated as such had an opportunity to vote him out of power (the law is on their side for that), but they couldn't garner enough interest.
After posting some useful corrections, Wikipedia crapped all over it, you know, because there are no citations for stuff that happened before the WWW was open for general public use. And a lot of it happened offline in meatspace. Even if there were online elements, all the early stuff was on servers that no longer exist.
Publish an article on the org's website. Then you can cite that article. Done. Finito. Have a nice day.
I have am email from a Wikipedia employee that stated paid editing is not prohibited:
Paid editing is not prohibited but it is certainly not encouraged. At the moment the best I can do is to post a message on the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard alerting the regulars there to the request so that they can check whether those articles have been created and review them closely if and when they are. We do not usually block the creation of articles. However if an article that does not comply with policy and guidelines is repeatedly created, we do prevent further creation.
Thanks for contacting us. I hope this helps.
I am guessing that Apple should shut down all of its stores across the country, too. Car dealer regulations may have been around, but they (car dealer associations) are trying to change the rules when someone (Tesla) introduces a new, but legal means of playing the game.
I think this is a great idea! I mean, let companies help dictate the curriculum for our kids. We can get Monsanto to handle one on agriculture! How about Walmart on the effects of employee rights and unions?
As for Swedish law, there are no provisions preventing prosecutors from interrogating suspects abroad. Doing so is, in fact, a routine matter. An example: In late 2010, at roughly the same time that Ms. Ny decided to issue a European Arrest Warrant for Assange, Swedish police officers went to Serbia to interview a well-known gangster suspected of involvement in an armed robbery.
In a radio interview last Friday, a Swedish professor emeritus of international law, Ove Bring, confirmed that there are no legal obstacles whatsoever preventing Ms. Ny from questioning Assange in London. When asked why the prosecutor would not do so, Professor Bring responded that "it's a matter of prestige not only for prosecutors, but for the Swedish legal system
If he's in the Ecuadorian Embassy, then the Swedes have no entry rights unless granted to them by the Ecuadorian ambassador. Therefore, it's not Swedish law preventing them from interrogating/questioning Assange, but the legal right of the Ecuadorian government to prevent him from being questioned on their sovereign property.
Having people who know nothing about technology make case law about technology is like having a Capuchin monkey fix the brakes on your car: cute and funny at first, but ultimately a bad idea that is also highly dangerous.
I fail to understand how this is a technology case. Just because technology was involved doesn't make it a technology case. What makes an electrical engineer or software engineer better equipped to understand copyright law?
If you want the situation to change, hire the guy in charge of security at El-Al. Get rid of the entire TSA, and just do whatever the Israelis do. Air travel can be safe.
I would love to have El Al's security here in the states, but I am not sure how well it would scale up. Hell, they only have 42 planes including cargo planes currently flying...
Deliberately set the metal detectors off with harmless-but-embarassing (for the agents) personal items... Like nipple rings.
Nipple rings don't set off alarms. I got mine in '95 and have never set off an alarm in roughly 20 international flights and a handful of domestic flights.
Assuming these guys are 'white hats', and they are not _necessarily_ the most able or l337 hax0rs out there, then why has someone not already attempted to take the internet down in 30 minutes already? For, say, 1 million dollars? I call hubris..
The statement was made in 1998 when security was extremely lax with a majority of the hacking community residing in the west.
Frederick, MD is one of the spots where the MARC Train (http://www.mtamaryland.com/services/marc/) has its endpoints. While the trains only run during the mornings and afternoon during the week, the trains are left running all weekend. Don't know the impact of shutting a train off for the weekend, but you can certainly hear the diesels running and spewing toxins into the air.
Good programmers will bring their own tools for the job. You wouldn't expect a mechanic to use a collective set of tools for a job, would you?
A programmer that brings his own tools is a cowboy at best, especially where I work. All tools must be approved and licensed (for commercial software) by my company to be installed. This prevents us from copyright infringement. There's a significant difference between a physical item, such as a wrench or a keyboard, and software.
I am currently taking a project management course and this is the stuff that they are pushing. It might not be a perfect solution for every job, but will overwhelmingly save the company money. A particular job might take a bit longer, but it's a helluva lot shorter than training someone.

Isn't this exactly what the ink jet printer manufacturers did so many years ago?

Great, a night at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower will run me $167K. Where's my AMEX Black?
I think your looking for 3lb
I think it's you're you're looking for. ;)

No doubt opting in for porn will get you on the 'special attention at MI5' list.
Of course it will because you're opting to be able to view terrorist materials. Either you're with us or against us.
And that's why I rode my motorcycle with a full faced helmet. :)

I can't wait until the first fire truck can't through the line because someone can't get their car started.
An IP address can easily be hidden through proxies, etc. Besides, what does 192.168.1.2 show? That's a non-routable IP address.
