I wonder if they realize that the entire government springs from a Constitution written in 1787.
"We've had a ton of feedback, in particular about the introduction of a retroactive change (some people have had accounts for 10+ years), but also about the negative impact on individuals who post sexually explicit content to express their identities," wrote Jessica Pelegio, Google's social product support manager...
So did Google (a) not solicit user input that would have revealed the likelihood of a backlash, (b) not know (without even asking) there would be a backlash, or (c) know there would be a backlash that could drum up free publicity?
And the CS department was in a very dumpy building right across from the Student Union building that was a notorious firetrap.` That was a couple of buildings ago. If I remember they remodeled their current building (the old EE building) in 2003.
Visa and mastercard have issued an ultimatum of sorts to the merchants saying that this will only continue for magnetic stripe until the end of 2015, after which the merchant assumes liability for fraud.
Visa and Mastercard will be splitting the shift in liability between the bank issuing the credit card and the merchant accepting the card. If the bank hasn't issued a chipped card, the bank's will be on the hook for fraud; if the bank's issued a chipped card and the merchant hasn't upgraded their POS, the merchant will be on the hook.
Comcast has apologized and is looking at ways to prevent it from happening in the future.
How about if Comcast offers better customer service, so their customers don't get so angry? Given how bad their customer service is today, "better" is really low-hanging fruit.
Though the 30% is a pretty big chunk, it's nothing compared to the $11 trillion Hollywood loses on piracy every year. They've done studies and it's pretty clear that piracy costs them all the money ever times infinity.
If Google really wants to succeed with the technorati, they need to come out with monocle, pince-nez and quizzing glasses models. Plus protective goggles for the lumberdandies.
The Mailing Date you select determines the date when your postage label is valid. An electronic record is generated on that date indicating that your package has been mailed. When creating an online label, you are responsible for providing accurate information when selecting the mailing date. You will have the option to select a mailing date up to 3 days in the future. Please note that the Mailing Date is formatted in Eastern Standard Time.
This is corroborated by the USPS notice posted earlier, though from your experience the notice should say "may be returned" rather than "will be returned." You are being given a grace period by the post office that accepts your package; others report their packages being returned, so late mailing is not something that can be counted upon systemwide.
I've printed the shipping label the night before countless times.
Printing date and shipping date are not necessarily the same thing. If you've printed a shipping label "the night before," after business hours in the ship-from zip code, the default shipping date was likely set to the next day. Packages can be (and in some cases are) returned when shipped after the shipping date; it's your chance to take.
You seem to veer off the rails all over the place, but the main thing that mystified me is - why would a label NOT WORK the next day (a "confusion" you list more than once)? It's insane to think it would not.
You must mail your item on the date that you selected for your Click-N-Ship label; this is known as the Ship Date. An electronic record is generated on that date indicating that your mailpiece has been mailed. Packages shipped with labels that have incorrect Ship Dates may be returned to the sender and will not be eligible for a refund. If you are unable to use the label, you should request a refund within ten (10) days of the printing date and create another label with the correct Ship Date.
That said, local postal offices apparently offer varying amounts of flexibility; but the policy is that you must ship on the Ship Date or cancel within ten days to get a refund. See also here.
if internet access is under government control on government poles
How are you getting internet access today without it flowing through trenches dug in government controlled streets, on wires strung along government controlled poles or through frequencies cast on government controlled radio spectrum?
If you are walking and talking down the sidewalk in town other people are able to hear your side of the conversation.
So if I'm talking quietly, cupping my hand over the mouthpiece and/or making sure that I'm not close enough to others to bother them with my conversation, the stingray will magically leave me alone?

The department has already outgrown the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering, which was dedicated in 2003. The department's previous home was the decrepit (but homey) Sieg Hall.
Go fuck yourself.
That is all.

Last time I checked it WAS the govt's job to do law enforcement, not the ISPs.
This is part of the militarization of ISPs. You should be receiving an induction notice from your local ISP any day now.

I would have posted first but I'm behind 8 proxies. So slow!
Lucky you. I'm behind 8 proxies AND my hotelier is jamming my personal wifi access point.

Not just infinity, an uncountable infinity.

Uhhh, well....
Nope, at least not with any Paypal labels I've printed.
I've shipped countless packages a day late BTW, and never, ever had one returned.
In the eBay shipping center, next to the selector for Shipping Date is a link to More Info that states:

Let's rephrase the question: what exactly would the US Government have to release to you in order to believe it was the DPRK that committed this hack?
Unedited video of Apollo 11 going to the moon where Neil Armstrong found a second gunman guarding Obama's birth certificate.
Privacy gets no respect in the crowd, never did
Crowds and public spaces are not synonymous.
If you are walking and talking down the sidewalk in town other people are able to hear your side of the conversation.

Will they also let the "ponytail wearing Google generation" wear their ponytails? How about their bespoke frontiersman beards?
