Yes and no. Voyager now is at interstellar space, but it is still on the Solar System. Check the AMA made by the guys at NASA on reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1m9wke/were_scientists_and_engineers_on_nasas_voyager/ . And mind you, in no official communication NASA said that V1 "left the solar system", those moments were always created by the press not understanding the science.
Indeed. But they were traitors. Not only that, the SCOTUS rulling is broad and doesn't define which crimes allow for the DNA swab, leaving that to the state law. Which opens the precendence for it to be anycrime, including minor traffic offenses. Which Scalia also pointed on his dissent.
I was reading the NYTimes article, and this part caught my attention:
The heart of his technique was a process he developed called Dynamation. It involved photographing a miniature — of a dinosaur, say — against a rear-projection screen through a partly masked pane of glass. The masked portion would then be re-exposed to insert foreground elements from the live footage. The effect was to make the creature appear to move in the midst of live action. It could now be seen walking behind a live tree, or be viewed in the middle distance over the shoulder of a live actor — effects difficult to achieve before.
That is brilliant!!!!! RIP Mr Ray. And thank you for everything
Here's yet another example of why it's very important to make sure IT employees' access is terminated when they are. (...)allegedly accessed the ERP system after he was terminated and had a little 'fun.
You go, RTFA and this is how it starts..
But after Mr. Meneses was passed over for promotions, he was upset enough to announce his resignation, giving two weeks’ notice. Before his final day in January 2012, colleagues caught him copying files from his computer to a flash drive, the authorities said. They cut off his access to company servers.
So, first of all, he was not terminated, he was mad and left the company. He was still on his two weeks' notice, so, in theory, had legetimate reasons to access the servers. When the company saw an srange behavior, they cut his access. So, looks like a case of a pissed up asshole who decided to go out with a bang and got busted for it.
According to TFA you still need to go online to save your progress. So, no, he did not skip the requirement. At most it is not full-time, but "so many times itis easier to keep it on full time"
For the same reason we have a Baseball Hall of Fame, a Football hall of fame, or even simpler, for the same reason we study world history. Know thy history, learn from your mistakes, understand what the best things were made off.
Holy shit! Are you serious??? I didn't heard of it when it happened. Seriously??? They had so little to talk about the guy that they went with criticizing his mustard choice?
From the tone on the announcement by Zwilliger, it came as a big surprise for them also. This looks like a decision taken out of the blue by the guys in the NCSoft HQ
I leave Firefox windows with dozens of tabs open for weeks and even months at a time, and haven't noticed any stability issues in a year or so...But I also don't use any add-ons except Firebug.
You are luck. I use Firefox with firebug for webdevelopment, and although I love it, I have to restart it a couple of times daily, as Firefox easily goes to 1.6GB of memory easy. And that is with 1 window open and about 10-15 tabs only. It is very much dependent on what you are using on the tab that has firebug. Let me give you an example: I'm now developing on top of JS table\tree framework, which tends to have a lot on memory. If firebug is open it starts keeping copies of a bunch of versions of this JS plugin, each taking a couple of MB of memory. So it slows to a crawl.
Investors. The country with the highest tax burden in the world right now, Denmark, is at the moment loaning money at an interest of -0.25%..
YES, that means rich people, very rich people, and investors in general, believe the Danish economy is so healthy they are willing to loan them money at negative interest, just so that Denmark can protect they money for them.
It is not only that. But on every test you make there are a couple of things, by law, that must come:
1. The result;
2. The method;
3. The reference numbers;
4. The technician responsible for taking it, full name and medical register;
5. In case of X-rays, Pet scans, and similar, besides the results, they must give you the medical report.
If you have to go to a hospital, when you are discharged they MUST give you every single exam they took. Unless YOU ask them NOT too.
Remember: If Hollywood makes one movie out of a book, they suck because they cut out all those important scenes. If they make two movies, they suck because they are just trying to cash in.
Just because there are multiple ways to fail, does not mean there is no path to success. If the Lord of the Rings books each got a single film, I don't see how the Hobbit needs to be stretched into two. It is a shorter, simpler source material.
Yeah, but with a bloody ton of things cut, a second movie that is a piece of shit (specially since the first is perfect and the third fantastic).
I pin a bunch of stuff. I love that I can then use win-1, win-2, etc... to launch the pinned apps. The Windows 7 UI is one of the most keyboard friendly UI's I've used.
You can do taht??? Holy crap I didn't know! Damn, I was missing a lot of it. I have my 4 browsers pinned there (i'm a web developer) and damn, that is useful.
Ahhhh, a religous exempt. That is sooo funny. There goes the separation out of the window. Becuase, really, if that is there, either you discriminate aming religons, or it is just a case of creating the Church of I Hate Obamacare, and voila, you are exempt.
You are British, probably (I'm extrapolating here) caucasian, and clear not from a "poor" country, so it makes sense for you to have been so well treated. Race, unfortunately, plays an important role in the process.
Additionally, the "father" is not worthy of that title. If he couldn't trust his daughter to not buy "in-app" upgrades, she shouldn't have a friggin iPhone to start with. If it was an accident, then the guy should have made the daughter work off the debt and learn the valuable lesson that nothing is free in life. But rather than deal with the daughter's selfish behavior, he is trying to reward her with a "get rich quick" scheme.
As much as I despise bad parenting, and think that it is one of the worst problems we have in the "modern world", there is something that might be in case here. How clear it is that you are buying something on the app? I do not own an iPhone (Have a Driod 2), so I can't tell for sure. But, going through what I found on the web on adult games, some developers go out of their way to mascarade that you are buying stuff. IF, and that is a big IF, that is the case with this games, she might have something to pursue. Definitely not at that value, and also it should be not only Apple, but also the developers.
Starting last year, I begun paying US tax (I'm a non-resident Alien so I pay both the US tax and my home country taxes, in this case Brazil) and I find it mind boggling that there is not a government software for these. Specially since the US tax code is arcane and byzantine, and in some cases borderline ridiculous. It explains why there is such a huge industry behind tax filling there.
Here in Brazil we have had an official tool for the past 8 years IIRC. Done in Java also, so you can run pretty much everywhere. And also, unless you have a bloody ton of special cases, you really do not need a pro to help you do your taxes. Even on cases like mine, where I had to put what was payed on international taxes and calculate whatelse is left and possible discounts, I still do not need to deal with even a tenth than I have to deal with the US tax code. And that is because I'm simply barred for most of your discounts.
Although I graduated in computer science, I had a 1 year internship in the Optics Department on my university. I worked with some of the most successful projects we had. Every lab on my corridor was a multi million project, spanning tons of patents and great research. And yet, the researchers would talk with each other, would cross research or trying to use each other's contact in the industry to generate more research money. It was such an ego clash pushing everyone back that it was quite sad =(
We try to do what we can here to help with that. As the summary mentions, we had tons of problems during and after the military dictatorship in Brazil (payed by the US of course) in the 60s to 80s. On the early days of democracy, voting fraud was rampant, since it was the same basic politics of yore, now with a thin veil of democratic participation. Voting, before the fully e-vote system was rampant with fraud, and delays, Florida level of delays.
We tried our best to make the e-vote machines and the election system as secure and transparent as possible, among what was done we have.
Voting registration is mandatory when you turn eighteen. When you do you receive a card and is assigned a voting station which is close to your home (if you move you can change). This allows every party to know, much ahead of time, how many votes are expected at each pooling station. To avoid extra votes.
There is no touch screen to deal with it. The voting is done on a numeric keyboard. You know prior hand, during the campaign the number for each candidate. So no fiddling with positioning to mark it for the other candidate.
The source code is open any political party has access to it. They recently ran a public audit\hacking of the system to search for flaws. They found one, which is getting fixed for the next election. And the bug was regarding anonymity( it was possible to de-scramble the vote order so i you have the order people voted you could know who voted for who. But you would have to breach in two fronts).
Before the election in a public ceremony the code is uploaded, checksumed, and the machines locked. So we know which code is in there.
So yeah, not perfect, but it is so much better and safe than what we had on the paper ballot days, that noone wants to go back.

...when the fact emerge that they were defying [Secret, Unaccountable, Undemocratic] court orders.
Still court orders for the general public. The bolded part is easily ignored.

lazy troll is lazy.
warrant was not legitimate, search was violation of 4th amendment.
when/how is that ever not a problem?
Got any proof of that?

Really guys, the summary is copied from the first paragraph on the wired article, which has the link to the iFixt teardown, was it that difficult to keep the link? http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Microsoft+Surface+Pro+Teardown/12842/

You keep using US terminology.
We're discussing an American problem on an American blog. What did you expect?
No we are discussing a UK Ruling. SO either now thy shit or shut the fuck off.
