It's probably because Disqus is using web-tracking-like technology (third-party cross-site scripts?) to do the comment display, and some of the adblock plus filter subscriptions block those things whenever possible. I had to set ghostery to have an exception for disqus if I wanted to read the comments on any page with Disqus commenting system on it.
It's the usual clauses... "Socially Responsible Behavior includes, but is not limited to:" also known as, we can decide you broke a policy whether or not it's actually written. A great many school behavior policies include similar language, allowing school authorities to add things not previously written.
He didn't break any laws, but most policies are much less specific than law. He's just lucky they didn't include "these policies may change at any time, with or without notice".
2% of your own mail never gets there? Contact the postal inspectors. My experience is more like 100% makes it to the destination, as far as I can tell.
Because it's actually just 15 minutes of airing, prior to cleanup? Not hours. Check with the EPA, they've got a nice website at energystar.gov that has information about all sorts of good stuff, including CFLs. First thing that pops up on google when you search for "mercury light disposal".
I think the idea is, to let your boss know that if he cancels your time off, he will be costing you money. Some bosses are actually human, and won't want to directly reduce the money in your bank account.
I wouldn't try to get it written into a contract though.

Under what circumstances is a review not composed mainly of opinion?
A few years ago the FAA sent investigators out to a haunted house in Austin. They wanted to know what that immobile, occasionally flickering, bright spot on the radar screen was.
Last year we notified the airport beforehand.
Eight foot tall tesla coils can cause interference, yes indeed.
There are a few MMOs that have implemented similar bot checks. Every once in a while, you get a question in chat from their bot-checking NPC. "What is 9 plus 4", and similarly easy questions. If you don't answer the question, you get kicked off.
There's a rule somewhere that the phone company's phone and internet divisions have to be as separate as possible. The theory was that having them separate would allow better competition to occur.
I couldn't get my DSL installed until I had two techs come out to my place, one from the phone company, and one from the internet section. They swapped info, and could then begin working on the problem. The solution: replace the bad card in their DSL remote terminal box that was claiming that it was working properly, when in fact it didn't let me out past that card. Time required: 2 months until I finally convince phone company to send someone out, and 3-4 days after the 2 techs met. They weren't allowed to talk to each other until they met physically. This was about 7 years ago.
Some cell phone companies let you block particular numbers. Almost all of them will provide caller ID information of the calling number. Take that information, and report it to the FCC. You can also report it to the FTC, but the FCC seems to be better funded.
What I also did was to add the caller ID information to the cellphone's contact list, with the name "Junk Call", so I know not to answer that particular idiot again. They may never use that phone number again, but if they do, I won't be charged minutes.
What is your admin smoking? Do they really want your bank account number and password? They've installed a Man-in-the-Middle attack on their main network. Either they really don't trust the employees, or the admin who set it up wants to be rich after he leaves the company.
This is caused by the "WYSIWYG" feature. Your HP printer driver is probably set to choose fonts that are "close" to the ones Windows uses, but are instead native fonts for the HP printer. Your PDF uses the Windows, and/or Adobe, fonts directly. Word uses the printer driver settings while you're editing, and if you change printers, the document repages with any different native fonts.
In Windows 2000, you can open the printers control panel, choose "printing preferences" on your HP, poke the "Advanced..." button, and tell it to "Download as SoftFont". This should make changing between PDF and printer less painful, at the expense of increased memory usage and time to print with the HP. For the real advanced version, you can try and find which Adobe fonts are exactly the same size as the HP native ones, and tell the PDF writer to use those.
That policy page is controlled by Microsoft, and I suppose that they're only bound by it to the extent it doesn't hurt their profits. Microsoft can change the policy at any time. "Microsoft makes no warranties". "Microsoft may occasionally change any of its online policies...at any time." "...but will not provide any other notice to you".
They're only bound by that policy until they change it. Even then, there's no guarantee.
co-op... right... the number of Microsoft tools I used in my last engineering job were... Word, and a few of the other office things. Most of the CAD and CAE tools ran on Solaris, and other Unix OSes. Just saying, one 6 month co-op does not make an "experienced programmer". Whether the tools are Unix/Linux/Windows/Mac based doesn't matter that much. How you use them, and what you learned from them, is much more important. Don't be so close-minded yourself. The world isn't Microsoft. It isn't Linux. It's people, geography, history, politics, science, pseudo-science, engineering, engineering disasters, and partridges in pear trees.
Don't be quite so eager to join the vendor lock-in movement, please. Think of the children.
Plus, if they leave it powered on the whole time, they risk having the laptop send out an "I was stolen" message the each time it found itself in a different network environment (or after a set time, etc. etc. depending on anti-theft software and/or inclination).
Christianity may ask for ten percent income tax to go to your local church. Asking, and requiring, are 2 different things. Many churches these days do not require payment to enter. Sure, they pass a plate around, and there might be some social pressure to put a coin or bill in. It's not a requirement.
I've heard sermons about taking money out of the offering plate being allowed (or even encouraged), at least if you really, really needed it. Ten percent income tax, even if your income is negative...
Many class action suits don't require that you choose to join a class to get the settlement. Most class action suits apply to all in the class, except for those who specifically opted out of the class.
I don't know whether IBM's class is that way, but it probably is.
The president of the school probably read or watched "Clear and Present Danger" recently. The book got that phrase from the US Supreme Court, who used it in a First Amendment opinion. The next few sentences in that opinion seem to imply that war and peace imply different levels of First Amendment protection. Since we seem to be "at war" all the time recently, using "clear and present danger" is probably an attempt to bring that opinion in on the side of the administration.

Quote apt, really.
I don't quite see what you did there.

Those of us who despise corporate tracking are probably among the most likely to enjoy having an optional start menu.

The name of wine stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator", not "WINdows Emulator". See Wine Myths for more information.

All of the above. The precautions are for hydrazine in a container of some sort. Spill cleanup is for hydrazine not in a container.
