Almost but not quite, Look at it with the same logic that we do programming with protected\private members. If a letter is addressed to the occupent of 123 Raintree St then anyone living at that address can open it. If the same letter is addressed to John Smith at 123 Raintree St then we know that the letter had been addressed to a specific person.
The deciding factor here is if state law in Michigan grants any power of attorney like rights to a spouse in which case he's free and clear, or if his lawyer can convince the jury that reading his wifes e mail was in the interest of protecting the child. IANAL but given the hindsight from this stub, I think even I could pull that off in court.
It's fair to say that they should be made aware of the tatoos but people, especially sheltered people, make misinterperating tatoos almost into a hobby. Now granted I'm not saying there is any other meaning for a swastika on your neck other then to say "HEY WORLD! I'M A JERK" but other things like his tear drop for example can be made to mean any number of things.
The Important Question: Who is paying for this make over?
It is physically hurting me that you are going into this much detail with superconductors but you aren't going to mention thermal run away after the superconductor starts to produce resistence. What makes this idea flawed in my eyes isn't that they are trying to supercool kilometers of wire in the worlds largest desert, it's that they have to do so in a self correcting, feasable to upkeep way that uses less energy then the system produces. There are certain laws of thermodynamics as they apply to electrical power that have to be satisfied and these guys who call themselves scientists seem to be thinking that they can ignore them.
You seem to be forgetting how much your rights DON'T matter in school these days. I agree that if they believed the teacher to be incompetent, as many students do and many professors are, then the false positive theory is a good guess.
During Anderson's time on board he installed a local area network throughout the station, requiring him to run ethernet cable... upgraded software on the station, either by swapping out old hard drives or updating systems using a CDs or DVDs
So with all of that training, knowledge and the background checks this guy is basically an intern? I thought that these people had PhD's and were doing important research. If that's all you really need to know to become an Astronaut then I'm owed an apology because I was lied to in school.
Try debugging poorly written Perl code - there is such a thing as "shit labor" even in an air conditioned office.
That's why languages meant for adults use objects. Your complaint is with an inherent weakness in the language that's what makes it "shit labor". Rewritting a proper language no matter how poorly written is a sweet gig.
If those are the only criteria used, then by your definition solitary confinement in prison would be a sweet gig.
The differance between solitary confinement and a job programming is? Oh yeah that's right, slightley more stabbing and murder when things go wrong.
I know plenty of people who claim this and it's for the same two or three reasons every time.
1: They smoke, and have done so for so long that they cannot taste much of anything.
2: They are the people who drown everything in salt, pepper or some other spice so that the natural flavor or the dish gets overwhelmed no matter what they are eating
3: Bad cooking, they grew up with a bad cook and never learned how to do it on their own so now they just ignore the flavor of what they eat without thinking about it.
You've missed a key point in your rant ignoramusMaximus, at point 6 one of two things happens:
- 1: Wealth stops circulating until the poor figure out how to get what they want from the rich, be it by revolution or a tear down and redesign of our economic system.
- 2: Efficentcy reaches such a point in our society that unlimited demand is met by near unlimited supply. The end result of which is the abolition of the need for any economic system involving a 9 to 5 job. Everybody is given a share of resources from their government to exchange for what ever they want, those that want more or simply get bored will be the innovators, creators and developers of the future doing what we love while the vast majority of the population sits back getting fat and lazy, or fit and active since with out a source of stress like a job we would be able to finally meet those new years resolutions. This is the future that I will be working for even if I never see it.
Is to declare the debts collected by this collection company in this way as void and have them repay the money they collected to the people they scammed. Nothing else will get through to companies like this, it isn't the first time a debt collection agency has broken the law specifically by impersonating police officers and threatening false legal action in fact it seems to happen more and more often.
Your choice is simple: either pay the site directly via credit-card access to their content, or put up with the ads that are financially supporting your ability to view that site without any additional payment on your part.
Funny, there happen to be sites I used to pay for by credit card and guess what? They ALSO had pop-up advertisements. This leads me to believe that the content providers don't care about just covering their overhead costs but instead are after all the revenue they can get. The sites that follow this kind of practice will do everything they can to get money flowing in from every direction, the sites that don't won't.
I wish I had mod points so that more people would consider this. With todays economy depending on where you are going the size of your group and how close to the travel date you want to leave it may be cheaper to rent a private plane over taking comercial aircraft. I'd think even in cases where it isn't literally cheaper the added freedom on time and elbow room along with the only way to assure that the plane didn't get over booked means that you are by far better off.
Depending on the country you're in, that is not necessarily the case. All that needs to change hands is consideration - some sort of benefit. That benefit does not have to be financial in nature.
Although this is the route they will probably aim for, I'd counter file a case of fraud against them. Not making an effort to inform readers of charges incurred for your services does not entitle you to compensation and using "scare tactics" to try and settle a bogus case out of court deserves punishment.
Have you tried Halo 3 on legendary? It took me a week to finish while I was unemployed.
Increasing the difficulty level of a game != increasing the content. Normally you wont be good enough to play the game on Very Hard until you've beaten it on Normal and by then you know the story and what is waiting for your around the next corner. What the Author and many of the commenters want is a lot of objectives, reasons and motivations to complete those objectives and a story to tie it all together.
Games today suffer I think from the push of big business. It's more profitable to make a short game that generates a lot of hype for the first week of its release then it is to spend the extra time developing a story that keeps people entertained for a month. Also a longer game may interfear with the release of the game that another development team is releasing which would harm its sales. Now you could do the sensabile thing and delay the release of game 2 using that time to work out the bugs that are ALWAYS there, but then you aren't generating as much cash as fast.
Just declare the IP a state secret. The market value is then zero, as the company cant sell it legally. Buy it from the company for 1 cent. Then classify the contract as top secret. If the company complains, send the people to jail or gitmo.
Mr. President Bush, is that you? I wondered what you've been doing since retirement it seems trolling slashdot is the answer.
Given the amount of food stuffs in New York state alone that the government pays to have destroyed every year to balance prices I really doubt everytime someone says that you cannot produce enough crops to make biofuels our primary energy source. What you are seeing is a cleaver twisting of the facts where someone looks only at the food that makes it to market and determines that we cannot produce enough corn or whatever other product to make biofuel, mean while in the background farmers are given money NOT to harvest crops just so that the market doesn't destroy itself due to its over production. Please tell me, if it weren't for this government subsidy, Why-T-F would corporate farms expand so aggressivly?

No they don't. Did you read the article? The point of it was the bacteria working toward a common good.
"Sometimes we need the restraint of the community," says Prof. Ben-Jacob. "As individuals we need to set some boundaries, and not just boost ourselves at the expense of others."
This right here is the key sentence. When was the last time you've seen "restraint in the community" for the greater good of the whole?
I think you're ignoring about half of the equation. You see when someone wants to sell something, no matter what it is or what it cost them, they want to sell it at the highest point possible in order to make the most money, this is called the Price curve. This is only mitigated by something called the Demand curve which is what people are willing to pay for the item. Where these two points meet determines the price.
The market has already determined what people are willing to pay for games, the cost of production of the game does not factor into the Price vs Demand chart. Driving costs down only means more money for the producer, and possibley increased competition due to a lower entry point into the market but this would likely only open a secondary market of "cheap games" leaving the "Million Dollar" productions priced where they are.
People like you kind of annoy me, mainly because it is obvious that you have a moderate to high level of business sence so you must be ignoring the fact that ADVERTISING is still something that the open source community is torn about. If there are ten thousand Indy films out there how does one of them get their name out without Hollywoods help? By word of mouth, and the best way to do this is to keep things free. Besides it's already been said that the value in this to the creators is the line on their resume, so think of it as an investment simular to the highschool kid who helps at a Food Pantry so that he can look good at his next job\college interview.
As for the story line, yeah it was a tear jerker reject. But for a reject script it was still watchable and the price was right. I can think of a few things that the studio directors should have been shot for releasing (*cough*Battlefield Earth*cough*Sideways*cough*The Wickerman*cough) and they spent millions on actual production and advertisment to basically rob me of my money.
I agree with Darkness404 completly, to further this along though the kid that drinks the stuff in the chemistry set on a dare is going to find some other way way to hurt them self even if you take those chemicals away. The same can be said about the kid who chokes on a paperclip or however it is they suspect injury by paperclip can occur. The point is neither of those reasons should suffocate every other childs natural curiosity.
Not one mention of symetry or Vetruvian (spelling?) measurements was made in this article. The study was all Chinese women. The study group was all men from western cultures. I can't even believe this was published.
What's wrong with simply leeching images off of their website and posting them onto one of the social networking sites? This way anyone on your buddy list gets an update and a picture that saps bandwidth from their site. This is an untested idea of course and is only meant as a thought game, do not try this at home blah blah blah...
