One of Ted Kaczynksi's tactics was leaving false clues in every bomb to purposely mislead investigators into thinking they had a clue. Interesting that the targets here were industrial, and May 9, 1979 is also the anniversary of the second unabomber attack.
Never attribute to malice that which can be accounted for by a stupid cop. Seriously though, I think the issue there would be the burden of proving malice. I don't think either "he's out to get me" or "see, he's a big meaniehead" counts as proof.
When I was a kid we did the same thing but instead of shaking them in a bottle we would put them on the ground and smash them with a baseball bat to watch them explode in the dark like fireworks.
Take that you conceited, coffee drinking, terminally hip, walled gardened, Steve Jobs worshiping, hybrid driving douche bag crapintosh lovers. How 'bout some Winders fo that ass?
An invention is a new composition, device, or process. Discovery is the finding of something that already existed, or finding something by accident. Many inventions are based on discoveries (i.e. microwave cooking). I think the real issue is whether the non-obviousness requirement is applied too loosely to software.
If the only learning options we present students by high school are "Introduction to Computers" and beginner programming languages, then we are only catering to the uninitiated and lowest common denominator. Schools need to raise the bar for all students, parents need to be more present and supportive of their kids, school boards need to be eliminated of corruption, and kids need to stop bullying and acting like a bunch of wannabe gangsters.
While on the subject of improvement in schools, I think high school needs to be reformatted. By the time students reach higher learning institutions, they do not have any experience in a lecture hall taking notes. It is no surprise that they adapt very poorly when thrown into a class with 400 students.
Hand raising is also ridiculous for both high school and college students. Students should be learning when it is appropriate to speak and to respectfully communicate like adults without having to raise hands. I can't help but wonder if this poor foundation is why all of my conference calls are complete chaos.
The people in TN were VERY polite and more than willing to stop and help a stranger, something you are less likely to encounter on the west coast.
Not sure which part of TN you are talking about, but Memphis is a ghetto and hospitality is on the decline in a big way. Between the angry old people and sociopaths, judgemental and hypocritical bible pounders, macho rednecks, gangs and thugs, yuppies and their entitled brat kids, Memphis is just a big cesspool of phony idiots filled with intoxicants and hate. The economy has made things so much worse. Want to be a victim of crime or murder? Memphis is definitely one of the very best places in the U.S. to be! See the startling statistics We are currently safer than 2% of cities in the U.S.
Also, no one ever seemed to be in a hurry down there.
Having recently spent some time in California, we remarked at how incredibly sane the Cali traffic was. We got the idea that everyone knew it was congested and just drove along. In Memphis, people pass you up in the on ramps and emergency lanes, never signal and generally drive like complete idiots. You will be regularly cut off by someone at least once every couple of minutes, even outside of rush hour. Every traffic stop has some jackelope ready to drag race you in his ford mustang or pickup truck. Local radio often runs jokes about how bad Memphis drivers are and local news runs disturbing segments about it. Given that the loss of a job now can be a curse of death, people are literally killing each other to get to work on time and nothing is being done to stop it. That is why the Memphis news is always talking about some idiots plowing through school zones and mowing down kids in neighborhoods and killing them all the time.
Weather modification in warfare was banned by the UN during the cold war. Shortly after, claims were made that Russia was attempting to negatively influence the US weather. There may be some truth to Russian knowledge of weather control based on well known research by Nicola Tesla, and given that Russian companies are commercializing weather modification less than a decade later. The problems created by the cold war, still seem to exist. See also recent Russian spy roundup.
I don't have actual statistics handy, but I remember reading that when the disabilities act was passed in 1990 there was a huge surge of ADHD diagnosis in children because of the financial incentives that were presented. The production and use of treatment drugs increased many times over in the years following that legislation.
I think we need to stop making small things and make everything really big. Then when aliens come to destroy us they will be like.. omg everything is gigantic, lets get outta here!
Mugshots are already public domain, so I can only suspect this is just for publicity. They are trying to make it look like a lot of cops are doing something more than showing up after crimes to file a report, falling asleep in their patrol cars on the side of the road, talking on cell phones, causing wrecks (had to throw this one in there since I've been rear ended by one), beating up old people, harassing and beating up kids, racial profiling, ambushing people on a dark lonely roads for minor traffic violations like driving 3 over the limit, engaging in illegal activities, etc. There are many good cops out there, but it seems to be overshadowed by all of the negative, and made cheap by all the publicity stunts such as taking criminals from jail and parading them down the street for the press and then bringing them back.
Not to take away from what you said because I agree, but I'm pretty sure that in America, anyone can be sued at any time for any thing, regardless of precedent. A court may be bound to a precedent for cases it hears, but I don't think that makes anyone immune to being sued or legal threats.

This reminds me of Fox News accusing Fox news co-owner of terror funding.
As dude said, that wasn't what I was trying to say. It was the original date. I think it is interesting so nanny nanny boo boo.
That is of course what I meant to say, but thanks for the correction.

We Americans really excel at engineering ways to screw off no matter the cost. See lawn darts for an example.
Anything can be solved with a BFG.
"Here you have" spread when victims clicked on a Web link and then allowed a malicious script to run on their computer.
The hacker isn't the one causing problems. The "victims" are.
While they are at it they can hack it to make it not suck?

Ironic that you would tell me to shut up, but then ask me to have respect. P.S. Go fuck yourself.
The records for name change petitions are filed and can be viewed by the public unless a court seals it. IANAL.

Wow, you have IMAX porn movies at home? Oh sorry, you just read the headline.

They need to make one that just has extra rows of mountain dew instead of coke/pepsi.
