Not enough jobs are being out-sourced at the same time for this to be a major drain on the American economy. Furthermore, the fired Americans will eventually get jobs elsewhere. Perhaps not as much, perhaps not with the same perks, but they will eventually become workers again.
America is the best country at creating stuff. When something gets old, it gets out-sourced and Americans create something else new.
I guess you might be dyslexic. The study is stating more than the fact that the illness is genetic. It is in fact suggesting a specific gene that is the putative cause of the disorder. Saying Down's Syndrome is genetic in nature is a separate thing from saying it is the result of trisomy of the 21 chromosome.
To clarify this parent post, there is a distinction legally between being detained and being arrested. The police can detain you if they believe that you are a witness in a case. To arrest you, however, they must have probable cause. Once they arrest you, you have specific rights. Delaying the arrest as late as possible helps the authorities.
The image resize in IE resizes the graphics to fit better with the text. This doesn't matter for most people, but I have a laptop with a 1900 X 1200 resolution LCD. The icons get really small if rendered in real-size. IE enlarge these icons to match the size of columns, etc.
Dongles are very problematic because they must be supported in software and, as we know, there are many OSs. I think that a better way to have use a dongle would be a "one-time use" dongle used upon install. The dongle could be registered to the first, say, three computers it was installed on. In other words, you use the dongle only when you install the software, and you can use the dongle only three times. If this technology can be made, then there would be no need for privacy advocates to be afraid since there are no central databases of allowable users.
If I could create this, I would, and then get rich. In fact, this is "prior art" on whatever new creation fitting this criteria is sold. SCO has nothing on me!
I believe that Symantec is pirated a lot since it does not have any sort of tangible copy protection such as serial numbers. Symantec seems to be selling services more than the software sometimes, but I am not bothered at all that they would make registration compulsory. This is one company I believe when they claim necessity because they have been "good corporate citizens" for such a long time and they make great software.
I found this out the hard way as well. I was running a video processing app for the first time and it seemed to be really slow. Then I opened up the list of processes and found that Moz was taking up 99% of the processing power. I killed off that process and the system immediately quickened. I never had another such problem, so I have no idea what caused this instance. However, it is a legitimate issue that should be resolved.
It is not only ignorance, but whether a reasonable person similar to the defendant *should* be ignorant of the activity. Furthermore, willfull avoidance of knowledge is not considered to be a defense; in fact, it is often used to show awareness of liability.
I hate to be blunt, but this poster makes no sense. On one hand, he blasts the system of expensive, top-flight schools, and yet says his friend was "forced" into a state school. That's like people complaining about how hot people are so shallow. And his friend, unfortunately, is rich. With over a half-million dollar in home equity, she is a firmly entrenched member of the elite he hates so much.
The poster also assumes that poor people got that way because they are lazy, and that is not the case. Backgrounds matter. Children of immigrants might be poor, but that does mean they are lazy? Of course not. They probably have it much harder than the average Joe.
Higher education is necessary to function in today's world. Might as well work hard, get the financial aid (which is issued for merit, too, you know?) and make money.
I was hanging out in Atlantic City over the weekend and saw a slot machine being serviced. It ran Windows 98. Saw the bootup screen and everything.
It would seem stupid to put so much money in control of such a "lightweight" OS but then I realized that there is no way a typical end-user can subvert the system. And the slots have to be on some kind of network to allow progressives, so abnormalities can be detected and rectified. But still, Win98. Who would have thought?
To get around Adware, go to www.zonelabs.com and download ZoneAlarm. Use it to block gain_trickler32.exe when it tries to reach the web. This stops it from downloading and displaying ads because it thinks that I never go online.
Or you can go to www.doom9.org and find out which registry keys to delete to use the Divx 5.02 Pro version without paying. The latter versions were not susceptible to the registry tampering but still falls for the "Damn, this guy never goes online" fix. The doom9 site isn't up right now but wait for it.
There was a valve called the Bjork Shiley 60 and it was used extensively in the late eighties/early nineties. It was defectively made, with excess solder used to fill in a gap. Many just catastrophically failed and caused the death of the patient. Many of the patients with the valve implanted were too weak to get a replacement valve. So they live with that valve in their chest, hoping that the little clicking sound keeps going on.
And people hate lawyers when they sue companies like this.
CEOs can borrow money against their company stock, especially if they have faith in their company. To sell the stock knowing that such sales will be reported to the public show that these CEOs know there are problems with the company. The smart bet would be to follow those in the know and sell the stock, too.
This is really scary. HIV mutates at a incredibly rapid rate because it is a single-stranded retrovirus with no means of error checking. Imagining an entire population of people infected with HIV and not dying scares the bejesus out of me. I know this sounds cold, but mutating HIV in such a population could yield even more deadly derivatives.
The Win32 Blaster Worm pretty much slashdotted Dell's support number. I have a problem with the laptop (namely, the Latitude keyboard issue), but I have been disconnected over the weekend when calling Dell.
The economic cost of this bug must be up there compared to previous outbreaks. How infectious is it?
I've prefer e-mail for communication in work because it affords me the opportunity to think twice or even thrice before "saying" anything. Keeps me out of trouble. Also, co-workers can't deny receiving data from me if I have the sent mail receipt and an exact transcript of what I sent and when I sent it.
DNA probably will never be used as the sole means of conviction. There has to be other determinants -- means, motive, etc. In your first case, in which a gun is falsely contaminated, there will be fingerprints that would insinuate your guilt anyway. But unless the cops mess with the forensics, they don't have gunshot residue associated with firing a gun, can't prove you knew the deceased, nor can they establish that you didn't have a credible alibi and motive to kill the victim. A jury isn't going to say, "ooh, DNA and then convict."
In the second case, condoms have contaminants such as lubricants and plastics that will show up on mass spectrophotometric exams. And there has to be signs of penetration that a pelvic exam will demonstrate. (Involves looking for scratches, etc.) Again, the mere presence of DNA will not necessarily lead to a conviction.
Remember that there must be a jury to hear all this evidence. They will consider the totality of the evidence and won't focus on DNA most of the time. (Look at OJ.)
DNA profiling is much more definitive than you have described. First of all, DNA statistics are measured within various racial populations. For example, the spread of a certain marker varies depending on ethnicity--black, white, asian, etc. The suspect obviously belongs in a certain category and thus alters the probability of a false match. Furthermore, pretend that the chances are one in a thousand of another match. (This is far smaller than DNA routinely yields.) Yes, in the United States, there are probably thousands of "matches", but how many are those described by eyewitnesses and other evidence?
I believe that the issue is whether the police can forcibly take DNA from a suspect they have in custody. New York City recently began taking out warrants to "John Does" whose DNA matched that recovered from crime scenes in order to get around the statute of limitations. This is different from having, say, OJ in custody and then pulling his hair out without a warrant or his permission.
This new method would make life easier. Give OJ some Coke in a really clean glass and pick the cup up using gloves. Make sure, however, that OJ is not wearing leather gloves. Then you have DNA, since discarded stuff does not enjoy a reasonable expectation of privacy and hence doesn't require a search warrant.
After my contract expired, I called Sprint to cancel because I got a phone from Nextel because of their free incoming minutes plan. Sprint then offered me that service for free.
Of course, I had already signed with Nextel. But Sprint never offered free incoming anywhere before.
Movies will continue to be made despite illegal downloading because they are profitable. Someone once said that the secret behind all movies is that they eventually make all their money back through video/DVD sales and the worldwide market and perhaps TV broadcast rights. If internet downloads are illegal, will the grunts truly making the film get more money? Of course not. The movie companies get more money in their bottom line.
