That only references the core of the galaxy, not the shape of the spiral arms. The picture itself is just an artist's representation (unlike the article, which is a picture of a completely different galaxy).
That presumption of innocence exists in court, and nowhere else. If it existed outside of the court, there would be no way to conduct an investigation - if you presume someone is innocent, how can you justify a warrant? Suspicion can only exist if there is no presumption of innocence. They are mutually exclusive. In court, the presumption exists until the prosecution proves otherwise.
There are, however, rules about how an investigation can be conducted, and apparently for the time being attaching a tracking device to a person's car is legal.
To me, it seems borderline at best (i.e. without the device they'd just have a cop tail his car all day), but still I'd rather see a warrant for it, at the very least so that there is a public paper trail.
Why would there be winmo7 lawsuits? This is about hardware tech, not software. Winmo7 is based on Win 7 - there isn't much there they wouldn't have patent rights to.
That's only true if you only look back 60 years. If you go back 100+ years, you'll find there was an active marxist movement and an active fascist movement. The original Pledge of Allegiance was actually written written by the vice president of the Society of Christian Socialists a fascist group presenting itself as an alternative to the marxist groups. The original salute to be given during the pledge was the same as the German Nazi military salute. It was only after WW2 that the US was an enemy of Nazis.
These groups really only transformed - they never went away. The only reason the US was anti-Nazi is because we fought a war against them. The reason we hated the Communists was because Russia did not return what they had gained during the war to the people who it actually belonged to. It later grew into a strong cultural aversion to communism and fascism, but really you could drop the communist and fascist and say we were simply anti-oppression (at least at first).
If Government borrows money, it immediately goes on the deficit and the so-called conservatives, who would have no problem with business borrowing for capital investments, call it irresponsible.
If a business did there would be an expectation of income. That's what makes it a capital investment. When the government does it, there is no expectation of income. It is not an investment in an economic sense, so if your debt is growing to the point where you cannot pay for it (and our debt is doing just that) then you need to find a way to reduce that debt.
Additionally, the government can't go out and a government loan when they make incompetent decisions.
I don't understand you here, that's exactly what the government does every day - how the hell do you think we operate in a budget deficit? Where the hell do you think the money came from when they say the US is $2 trillion+ in debt? The money doesn't magically appear out of nowhere, the government gets loans by selling treasury notes. It has to pay those back with interest. You give me money and I promise I'll pay it back with this much interest. That's what a treasury note is, and it's a loan.
The government is not inefficient. It just has to hold itself to a higher standard.
It's an odd form of "higher standard" that is lower than any business that needs to turn a profit.
Really, you should sit down and actually read a bill passed by congress some time. The health care bill would be perfect, actually. The friggin bills are so full of pork (extraneous spending not in any way associated with the bill at hand - generally crafted for special interest groups in a senator/representative's home state) you'd puke.
Don't tell me the government is efficient when they have to keep taking more of my money to pay for their stupid shit and keep driving us into extreme debt. Were it efficient it would at the very least be spending less money than it takes in. The government is anything but efficient. It is necessary for certain functions, but we let it do way more than it should, and we pay the price for it economically.
This isn't unique to the Governmental bureaucracy either - all big bureaucracies are exactly this inefficient. The bigger it is the worse the problem.
I work for Fortune 100 company and the things you have to go through to get a project done are insane. There is one project in particular that has been needed for about 12 years now, been in the planning stages for almost 10 years, is in the design phase (about to begin work) and is probably going fail before a single piece of hardware is installed. And you know what? That would be a good thing, because what this asinine system has come up with is arguably worse than what is already in place. In other words, about 15-20 million dollars has simply been pissed away for the last 10 years.
The power requirements are more for Windows compared to linux on the same hardware - at least on my laptop.
Sure, and the power requirements for DOS are even lower, what's your point?
Assuming switching to Linux would save power (it probably wouldn't - Windows 7's power management is excellent), it would be more than offset by the cost to re-train the millions of government employees, re-write custom software that has no Linux equivalent (yes, it exists, there's custom Windows software that has no Windows alternative, let alone a Linux version), and deal with the fraction of users who decide to retire/leave instead of learn something new.
You're spending a dollar to save a penny, it's about the dumbest way to "save" money imaginable.
"May contain" isn't the same as "did contain", and I'd hate to see anyone convicted of a crime he or she "might" have done.
They can still get you on circumstantial evidence if it is compelling enough. They don't necessarily need to see the pictures. It would make their job easier.
WRT law, passwords are a key to a locked chest, not some kind of self-incriminating revelation (like admitting you were at so-and-so's the night they died). They already know you have the password, so the self incrimination angle no longer works. A judge issues a warrant for the contents of the locked chest, and you must comply or be held in contempt of court. It is not a 5th amendment issue. Just because the key is something in your memory instead of a physical object does not mean you do not have to comply. You must still allow the police access to that which they have obtained a warrant to search.
Still, depending on what is actually on your hard drive, it may be better to take the contempt of court and whatever lesser crime you end up being convicted of (assuming they didn't have enough circumstantial evidence to convict you, that is). For example, if you're a traitor, and there is damning evidence on your encrypted hard drive, then keep your damn mouth shut! That shit carries the death penalty in states that still have it. I'd gladly take 20 years over that any day. Of course, I'd never be a traitor either anyway, but you get the idea.
That's why people in the US get Mirandized when they are arrested.
The absolute most important part of the Miranda rights is this: "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." It is absolutely, 100% true. If you are a potential suspect, the only time cooperating with the Police or DA is when they already have you dead to rights, but they'd rather not deal with a trial or they are after bigger fish.
You never, ever have to say anything. You can sit there with a blank stare if you wish. You don't have to say a word.
What people seem to continually fail to grasp is that the evidence does not have to be 100% conclusive to convict you. It simply needs to be unreasonable to think anything else is true.
For example, the guy with the encrypted password on his laptop. The police can easily prove he owns the laptop, and they can easily prove he has used it recently. Unless the guy has some really killer evidence that someone else encrypted his hard drive without his knowledge, it is unreasonable think the guy does not know the password. The 5th doesn't really apply, because you are already incriminated by the encryption. That you have the password and the password itself cannot incriminate you further. The contents of your laptop can, but they can get a warrant for that, and since the password cannot incriminate you further, you must give it up.
Ergo, he's still up for contempt of court if a judge demands he give up the password, his stonewalling the police can cast him in a guilty light, and a circumstantial case is boosted quite a bit. If he's guilty of whatever he is accused of, it's still his best bet to keep his mouth shut (still has a chance that the evidence against him won't quite cut it), but he can expect some consequences (contempt of court 'n all that).
It's a little convoluted I know, but it is what it is. Think of it as not giving up the key to a locked cabinet that they cannot otherwise break into. If they have a warrant for the cabinet, and the cabinet is obviously yours. If you don't give up the key you can certainly be held in contempt of court.
By DPI does he mean the resolution? It's rarely referred to like that for a monitor, because the DPI will vary based on how big the screen is (i.e. 1920x1080 is significantly higher DPI on a 15" screen than a 20").
If so, right click - properties. It's always been that way. Not exactly hard.
If not, then I don't know what the hell he's talking about.
Windows Search can do everything but the replace, and there are a plethora of GUI apps that do all of it.
Seriously, where the hell have you been? That's been possible since Windows 98.
Unless you're talking exclusively about Linux, then yeah, there's no GUI equivalent. There's no GUI equivalent for 80% of the stuff you'd want to do in Linux. Linux GUI's suck ass.
You have to remember that in a GUI "piping 5 commands together" equals selecting five check boxes. Setting flags is just setting sub-options. Doing it for 100 machines is simply selecting from a list.
If you can't do that in your GUI, it is simply lacking. It does not mean the GUI concept is any worse than the CLI, just that particular application of it doesn't meet your needs.
The CLI tends to be better for mass updates because the GUI programmers still don't seem to understand that people often want to administer these things in large numbers, and so they have not built in the capability. There is absolutely no reason it can't do everything the CLI can do and do so significantly easier (though I still think the CLI will always be faster). It's just that the GUI's aren't written like that. So they tend to be best for unfamiliar or infrequent tasks.

You do realize it takes billions of years for gravity to make any changes at these distances right?
They can "stay straight" for longer than our planets existence and still ultimately be smoothed out.
That only references the core of the galaxy, not the shape of the spiral arms. The picture itself is just an artist's representation (unlike the article, which is a picture of a completely different galaxy).
That's not a picture of the Milky Way (all our pictures of the MW look like a fuzzy UFO).
It's M101, aka the Pinwheel Galaxy.
In other words, the Milky Way is still square-ish, even though that picture is octogon-ish.
God only knows why they didn't put a caption under it.
Meh, it's probably too sweet.
When are they going to find the Milky Way Dark galaxy? That's what I want to know!
The post that got him a tracking device wasn't on Reddit, making your post absolutely pointless.
Just for the record.

To be fair, going by population CA is the west coast.

Contractors don't dictate the contracts, and they can't force a product the customer doesn't want.
This is the contractors trying to change the customer's mind.
Voting republican to try and get it. Good luck with that.
No kidding. It's almost as bad as voting Democrat.
