Also, organised crime rings use them for begging. It's not unknown for them to kidnap children and starve them to death (because people tend to be more generous if the child is in a desperate state). Presumably if they paid for these kids there would be more incentive to keep them alive, but I'm undecided about whether that would be better.
I would not have as much of an issue with this plan IF they allowed public access to the stored data so we could snoop on the Politicians, DA's and Judges just as much as they will snoop on us.
I call killing one million people in Iraq for oil and dollar supremacy irresponsible.
I'm not sure that a million Iraqis have actually died in the conflict.
It's not just the armed conflict; the sanctions count too. Madeline Albright famously didn't challenge the figure of half a million children killed by the sanctions alone, so although nobody is sure about the figures one million is probably on the low side.
That isn't about believing the show's results, that's about the people doing the show being genuine special effects experts who (despite how they make it look on the show) know a thing or two about safety.
Lets not forget that Holland has no Amazon, importing from the US costs a fair amount at the border in taxes, duty and admin costs and bol.com can't escape sales tax like Amazon can in the land of unfair competition.
But importing from the UK (which does have an Amazon) shouldn't have any costs at the border because both are in the EU (and the UK doesn't have the European equivalent of sales tax, VAT, on books). Of course, I'm not sure that the UK or US Amazon is particularly strong on Dutch language books.
Hacking a dead girls voicemail, deleting potential evidence from the mailbox and giving false hope to here parents isn't quite the same as someone tracking you walking past the local porn shop
FTFY. It was even worse than you suggested, not to mention the alleged police bribery.
The trouble is, Rebekah Brooks indicated that The Sun would be moving to 7-day working before the shit hit the fan, so it's quite possible that they were going to close the News of the World anyway and the closure has nothing to do with the wrongdoing, it was just a convenient scrap to throw to the attack dogs.
Even the Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan police have resigned, even though they had nothing to do with it, nor any knowledge of it going on.
Er -- Rebekah Brooks admitted to paying the police for information -- a criminal offence carrying a maximum penalty of £10000 or two years in prison -- in front of a select committee hearing in March 2003. If they had no knowledge of it going on that was either incompetence or a willful turning of a blind eye. Given the perks that the Commissioner got from from NI (which might be considered bribery in themselves) then their position was untenable.
Then when they get rid of him, they will find everything is just the same as it was, because the problem isn't Murdoch, it's the system that rewards him for doing what he does.
I can see some wriggle-room for the lawyers there, because the visual indication to the user is not signalling the availability of the action (other token types might be displayed in the same way).
Yes, I've oversimplified, because this is/., not a complete book. As you say, being an experienced programmer is probably still a help with methodology and process because they'll have done a lot of switching between methodologies and processes already. But I don't understand why you say "also an aged programmer won't support an idea they don't think will work & productivity and quality fall with that. where as a younger programmer is more likely to use an impossible project to "show off" precisely because its hard." I'm in my 50s, and telling me that something is impossible is still a good way of getting me to spend more of my own time than I should making sure it really is impossible and looking for a way around the impossibility.

Oh, how true!
watch the ladies in revealing outfits, drink beer, drink more beer, drink even more beer
I think those bits are shared by the computer gamers.
We and the sun are orbiting the common center of gravity. It's just that that common center of gravity is well inside the sun.
Except that China places a pretty high cultural value on the act of sex.

Or they feel that anything has to be better than the model they're using at the moment.
Except for when the GUI freezes solid and you don't have another machine nearby to SSH in with.
Nice to know it's not just me.
Not mutually exclusive.
I thought a major advantage of Linux was supposed to be that you only had to boot it once and then it ran forever...

And spouses/partners, of course. Hmm...
Ah yes... drool all day, stare at chicks who'd rather throw themselves in front of a bus than talk to me, and masturbate all night
Did you say fifteen or fifty?

What if releasing them could cause World War III? Seriously?
Then they should have a much more secure classification than "restricted", unauthorized disclosure of which is merely "undesirable".
Eliza? Is that you?

It's hardly likely to be slashdotters doing it, is it?

Not the point. Page 3 == really nice, high class boobies.
How many were on the net before the site went down? And how many after?
News International I understand. The Sun, too, I guess. But why in the name of all that is holy would they take down Page 3?
Well, duh! This is the internet. Do you really think that taking down page 3 would have any measurable impact on the amount of porn available?
