No.
"The China correspondent for the public radio show Marketplace tracked down the interpreter that Daisey hired when he visited Shenzhen China. The interpreter disputed much of what Daisey has been saying on stage and on our show."
Basically he stated that all of the "bad stories" were simply made up.
It takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.
I have a Reprap 3d printer. The software that seems to work the nicest for designing parts is Solidworks. But they only sell it in two ways: for business for about $4000 and for verified university students for $150 a year. I'm neither. They don't make an option for hobbyits. Which leaves me with the Pirate Bay option. That kind of sucks because I wish there was a way a hobbiest could use this software without stealing it.
So that's something to consider. Who's stealing it? If it's businesses then yeah you have a problem. If it's hobbyists then maybe it's because you don't have a deal for them.
Do you apply this logic to your own network? Actually let me rephrase that. Do you apply this logic to your own possessions, property and family? Do you believe burglary victims should share part of the blame because they didn't reinforce the glass windows(security flaws) in their homes?
Let's call a horse a horse here. This man was a criminal. He deserved what he got.
keep your opinions about the validity of the patent system out of this. Yes they are connected. Maybe you have a point. But when you argue against SOPA from the standpoint that piracy is OK all you do in the eyes of the general public is justify the position of SOPA supporters. The most effective thing we can do here is argue against this based on the fact that SOPA is basically martial law for the internet.
I'm somehow reminded of the episode of South Park where they try to change the state flag.
I agree with the sentiment of your post but I feel I should point out that the popular account of Kitty Genovese's death is based on the police department's version of events. It turns out some of those witnesses actually did call the police http://bps-research-digest.blogspot.com/2007/10/truth-behind-story-of-kitty-genovese.html and the police kind of botched it.
inventing Google Voice commands. I got my first chance to play with it today. Here's some of my conversation.
Siri, should I buy an iPhone or an Android phone? Here's a number to the apple store.
What's the best restaurant in town? 10 seconds later it shows me a list of restaurants and their ratings in the area. Okay somewhat useful results.
Why isn't there a Target in Northern Utah? I don't know.
What movies are playing? It shows me directions to 2 movies theaters. Not quite what I asked for.
I think I might have killed a man, what should I do? After 20 seconds of deliberation, Here's a list your scheduled meetings.
My favorite question, which I' very proud of as it completely embarassed my girlfriend. Siri, I think I have herpes, what should I do? After 20 seconds of everyone looking at me uncomfortably in the store it brought up a list of upcoming meetings.
So basically it's Google voice commands with a bunch of extra syntax to try to fake human comprehension. There was a curious 10 second pause before every answer and some questions it just wouldn't produce a response to. This feels very beta I have to say.
Yeah, I've been seeing this trend more and more it seems on Slashdot. I almost think they might do better to be a bit more honest with their intentions and just write something on their front page along the lines of 'Hey everyone, let's talk about vaccination hysteria today'.
I've been following this project since they first announced it and got a Touchpad through the firesale. I got it installed today and here's what I can say about it:
Cyanogen calling it pre alpha is kind of underselling it. It's quite usable. The only nasty problem for my purposes is that the wifi is kind of flakey. I've heard power management isn't so great yet but I've had it plugged in the entire day. I've loaded Tunein, Netflix, Pandora, all the different emulators and they all seem to work.
So nice work Cyanogen, looking forward to future updates.
I remember this verse quite well from Christian school. And the following verses:
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
These are often quoted as signs of the Apocalypse. The thing is these events have occurred on a regular basis since the dawn of time so they really aren't very good signs. I don't think Jesus and his apostles were that stupid so I can only conclude that this section really should have been written in Sarcastica. I kind of imagine it going like this:
Apostle: When will you return.
Jesus: None of your God Damn Business. That's when.
Apostole: Come on tell us. Please!!
Jesus: (rolls eyes and groans, then says in his best Dr. House mocking tone) Okay I'll give you the signs. There will be wars! Men will do anything for sex and money! People in power will screw over their subjects!!
Apostole: OK Jesus, I was just asking. You don't need to be an ass about it.
A few years ago I got a deal from Nevada Power where they paid for half the cost of a 5kwh array. It was working great until work forced me to relocate to another state. I had a hell of a time selling the place because the general public is just not technical enough to appreciate it. One potential buyer got a static shock from the carpet as is common in the dry vegas air. She actuually thought the solar power array caused it! How am I supposed to reason with that kind of stupidity?
Boxee does a lot of work automatically. With J River Media Center you can pretty much organize and tag anything how you want to, it's quite a bit of work though. Good luck.
I have it on my Droid 1 via Project Elite v5. I just had better luck with it than Cyanogen. It's definitely faster than 2.2. Feature wise about the only thing that really stands out to me is that voip is built into the settings.

Possibly, but judging by what I've seen at waiting rooms doctors have no shortage of work load. I think they may be inclined to let this one slide.
Really? Which one of us is still standing?

So this means they're going to give me the option to pay a little extra and automatically skip commercials right? Right...?
Double plus good indeed.
It was one of the first, maybe even the first, to make morality a central part of the game.
I'm a little embarassed to admit that that game probably influence my ethical nature more than Christianity.

Just because everyone is doing it, that doesn't make it right.

I use this one at work: http://www.kanda.com/products/Wellon/VP-290.html. I've never had a problem with it. The nice thing is that it runs off USB power. Good luck.

How about resurrecting space flight simulators such as the Wing Commander series. Aren't we getting a little burned out on Modern Ware fare?

Oh wait, I thought it said 'Capcom releases unplayable game'. Nevermind.

Well the cushioning on running shoes becomes ineffective past about 6 months so I could see a use for it there.
