If the subpoena is requesting production of the files in drive Z, the foregone conclusion doctrine does not apply. While the government has seen some of the files on drive Z, it has not viewed all or even most of them. While the government may know of the existence and location of the files it has previously viewed, it does not know of the existence of other files on drive Z that may contain incriminating material. By compelling entry of the password the government would be compelling production of all the files on drive Z, both known and unknown.
By giving the government his password, the judge held, that the defendant was incriminating himself by opening up all of his files that weren't pertinent to the investigation. That was my take on it. *I am not a lawyer, but I scored high on critical reading on the SAT's, for what it's worth.
This introduces so much bias into the system I don't know how any results they gather will be of any use statistically or scientifically. You introduce astroturfing, trolling, self-conscious habits, confirmation bias, etc. into your results. To say that they can gather anything scientific from this is just stupid. Without blinds and controls, there is no way to isolate variables.
In this course of action you're bound to find somebody that's wronged you. Dumped by a girl in high school, thats a cool million for pain and suffering. The basketball coach laughed at you for trying out, another cool million for discrimination against your geek heritage. Your parents kick you out of their basement... that's a tricky one... ah! Sue your mother for medical malpractice all those times she gave you chicken soup instead of taking you to a real doctor. By this time, you're so mega rich that you've forgotten about the jerk that stole your domain. So you go and send them a thank you card for sending you in the right direction on your path of litigiousness paved with gold.
Unfortunately it gets taken advantage of every once in awhile by scum who are trying to profit from the work of others
When there is profit involved, that is going to happen. If you can be scammed expect to be scammed. You just have to hope that users are informed and intelligent enough to realize who was really responsible for the software. Welcome to capitalism. If one can get away with it, one can make as much money as they want
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see why USB and Firewire need to exist. Maybe I'm naive and don't see where there are ad hoc benefits to both. I would like to see a unified standard. I have both on my machine, so there is no compatibility annoyance. I don't see competition benefiting either one really.
So... I don't really understand the whole disposable crew idea. It would make sense to reuse the crew rather than feeding them to sharks after re-entry, or did I miss something.
Government organizations will still be able to use proprietary software and formats but will have to justify it under the new policy, ministry spokesman Edwin van Scherrenburg said.
What a bunch of tulip smelling, wooden show wearing, low lying pansies. If you go open, go open all the way. This makes sick. Smell your tulips, wear your wooden shoes, and pronounce your j's as y's while the world laughs at your lack of decisiveness. Bunch of orange clad pansies if you ask me.
Attaching money to information is always bad. Press for profit obviously has its drawbacks (see 24 cable news in america), and this is essentially what I think this will turn into, like you seem to as well. I could see articles made artificially controversial just to bring in revenues. When compiling information, independence and objectivity are paramount and introducing profit into the mix only ever leads to problems.
a bill that could boost statutory damages for copyright infringement
I'm pretty sure damages are about steep enough as it is. Something $250,000 per album is the metric I think. Correct if me I'm wrong, that's just what I've seen suits for ip infringement go for (RIAA). I sincerely hope this guy does not get his way. With breaking net neutrality and introducing content filtering on the table I worry for the future of the web.
A rigorous theoretical explanation is yet to come, but the researchers believe that the spheres are aligned by the magnetic field and form microcavities - filled by the ferrofluid - in which the photons get trapped, resonating back and forth
I know they haven't published an explanation on this yet, but does anyone know what kind of power this sort of process takes? Power consumption would obviously be germane to computing using photons, which the article discusses. Also, what effect does the stasis have on the photon?
As a person allowing yourself to be manipulated in the way you treat scientific data is in some way concession, to me at least. Like you say, whatever information science presents, that is outside their world view, will not phase them. Likewise, depriving them of any "ammunition" will not phase them. Why, when discussing science, should I have to tip-toe around with language to be careful I don't give ammunition to someone who is only interested in twisting facts to begin with. Allowing anti-science groups to influence scientific discourse is bad, okay.
If that isn't the parable of the broken window if I have ever heard it! Efficiency to any market is a good thing. The more unnecessary cost involved in the healthcare industry, the more dollars it needlessly sucks out of the rest of the economy. Sure, you can make the argument that healthcare is a capital purchase in that it increases your viability in the labor force, but that is a stretch. Cutting bloat is never a bad thing. We need to cut some serious bloat out of the industry, and we should start with beaurecracy and go all the way down to reforming the insurance industry. There needs to be some kind of oversight on cost to quality ratios, as this hybrid government backed/privately funded monster is the model of inefficiency. I like to argue for social justice so I'm naturally wary of any solely private system, but a well-designed private system would be ten times better than what we have now.
Honestly, it would be nice, but IT costs are afterthoughts when it comes to the healthcare industry. The market is so broken. Quality of care and price are completely detached. The privatization here, the socialization there... it's just one big quagmire. If this sort of thing did catch on, which would be a long ways in the future and a big if at that, the effect on the price of care would be almost unnoticeable. It's nice to dream, but beaureacracy and corporate litigiousness have busted the market. It's a mess.
Yeah, science should totally just abandon making hypotheses about anything controversial, because it might be grounds for anti-science groups to speak out against!
I don't mean to be obnoxious, but that is about as anti-scientific as it gets. Manipulating facts and theories to play politics is pretty much the antithesis of science. Please don't ever suggest something like that again.
"For us the difficulty is that we see patterns but we don't understand what the underlying process is; so it becomes difficult to ascribe causation," he explained.
Therein lies the problem of ever ascribing certainty to any one event causing mass extinctions or any other climatological or biological shift. Earth is built with so many complex systems that it will almost always be a large combination of factors that result in change.
Is that these animals were innocent bystanders to the great Time War. This is clearly the result of a Time Lord sending a Dalek hurtling backwards in time. When it landed in the ice age, it tried to do its whole "EXTERMINATE!!" thing, but it's weaponry was on the fritz. "Peppered with meteorite fragments" smacks of being the victim of some malfunctioning Dalek weapon. So as you can clearly see, there is nothing see, so move along...
The caveat is that you have to let them monitor your use of the program.
This is how I would go about this. I would get a free copy of vista. Then, I would set web cam up outside on the driveway. I would grab a wood maul and just go to town on the disc, and do my best to savor the thought of MS technicians staring on in horror.
Right on, the matter the article discusses matter that should be there as pointed out in the Dirac equation. The universe should, based on theory, be made up of a certain percentage of baryons (three quark particles).
Is the WHIM the same as the interstellar medium? From what I've read they sound a very similar.Does this mean that the missing baryonic matter has been staring us right in the face the whole time in the expanses between stars?
Now you can see an Ask Slashdot question with a definitive answer
That takes all the fun out of it, especially for legal questions.
Example:
Q: Someone is taking credit for my code. What legal recourse do I have?
A1: IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you can kill him for that and call it self defense. It totally won't be murder.
A2: IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you can take his eye for it. Eye for a piece of code or something like that...
A3: IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you're entitled to their wife and the profits from selling his children into slavery.
A4: I AM a lawyer, and depending on how you licensed your code... blah blah (bunch of legalese) blah... and that's what you are legally entitled to do.
The experience of an ask slashdot is going down the list of answers, plugging and checking. Surviving long enough to use the one by the actual lawyer is so rewarding. I tell you, I want stand for any sort definitive answer to an ask slashdot.
Even stranger, Ballmer's doctoral thesis on fluid-chair dynamics didn't make it either. I haven't read it, but I hear that his chair throwing machine almost achieves perpetual motion.
You are probably right. I used the term idiot probably a little too loosely. I've read some of his stuff, like the letter he wrote to Bush that everyone freaked about. He's not sputtering out sentence fragments or non sequitirs or anything. I used more to downplay his seriousness as a threat. I don't hold anything against the guy personally. I guess I can't help having my view be jaundiced by the American press. Kind of rambling so I'll get to the point... Ahmedinejade is a smart guy, he has some shady dealings with non-governmental militants, but who hasn't. He hasn't transformed Iran or anything (their regional power grab is as much the US's fault as it is his) and he's out of touch with reality as far as personal liberty and religion is concerned. I still hold that the only reason any American even knows his name is the fact that he plays the part of a boogeyman well. Save the Hitler comparisons. Iran ain't Germany, don't kid yourself. There would be no appeasement with Iran. The second he moved one finger against Israel, it's over.
As to the parent, thank you for pointing that out.
Don't you get it. We have to be afraid of Iran. They are a threat. Ahmidnidaklsjadeasred, whatever, wants to end civilization as we know it!! With this SUPERCOMPUTER they could calculate the exact coordinates of New York and bomb it into oblivion!! (end sarcasm)
Seriously though, Iran is a scapegoat for US politicians. They can't handle, politically, the fact that their foreign policy initiatives fail consistently in the Middle East. They need a shadowy, vageuly evil figure to pit the fear of the electorate against the critical thinking of the electorate, which is the side that says invasions, coups, and exploitation aren't working. If it weren't for the Iran, the Iraq war would have zero political viability. Instead, Iran provides a "threat" so it becomes politically viable to call for indefinite troop deployment.
This is a most bizarre case of symbiotism. Ahmadinejade is pretty much an idiot (see no gays in Iran comment) who doesn't really have all that special of a record. Is he a threat to world civilization, probably not. He does, however, say enough dumb things that he gives political capital to his enemies in the west. His enemies in the west return the favor by imposing sanctions, threatening pre-emptive attacks, etc. It's a twisted quid pro quo kind of thing. He gets to appeal to Iranian nationalism against the threat of American attack, and the White House gets to appeal to Americans' fears of an evil terrorist state with nukes and a supercomputer.
Moral of the story is that fear, uncertainty, and doubt breeds political power. Any time someone tells you to be afraid, take it with a grain of salt.
The situation in Oregon called for the implementation of buoy-like devices to harness wave motion into power. Great Britain is talking about placing windmills offshore. The power generation and science in general is different. The politics of it may be the same though. I'm not qualified to speak about Brit NIMBY's (or I guess NOMSL-not on my shore line), Brit fisherman, or Brit energy lobbyists, as I am an American. I imagine there would be some resistance here, but I not familiar with the situation. On the other hand, wind is a proven tech so who knows. It really just comes down to how powerful the lobbying against this is, as it looks technically feasible and sufficiently beneficial.
