Google would have a very simple response then. Block french newspapers from being indexed and show news from the rest of Europe. Now there's not even traffic coming in from Google, and they're really losing out.
Not sure how happy everyone would be with English language news being all that's available, though.
RAM expansion is limited so severely because the speed of light has a huge impact on performance these days. The bus latency is a huge factor.
Windows 7 lets you add slow RAM with ReadyBoost. Not sure if Linux lets you do anything like that. But it's just not as fast as RAM that's only an inch away from the CPU.
$3? You're looking at active listings to gauge final selling price. Most bids these days come in the last hour or the last minute of the auction on auction-style listings. Either look at Buy-it-now prices, or select "Completed Listings" on the lefthand side of a search.

So there's probably no computers from the early 2000's especially the Dell Optiplex. The motherboards have all failed by now with leaking capacitors.
On a completely unrelated note in computer history, I went to a yard sale recently and bought 6 Pentium II's, still in their shrink-wrapped boxes, for $2 total. If I keep them for 10 years they might be worth something!
Thanks for being the one to say it. Although it stands to reason that you might be able to fail your way through the Ivy League with enough money. Being President is a tough job. A president goes in for 4 years and comes out looking 15 years older. Unless you're Obama. Then you've suddenly got time for appearances on late night TV on a very regular basis. Any vote is a throwaway vote this year, except for local elections.
This country was not founded on separation of church and state. The only doctrine we have that was ever written by a founding father is what Thomas Jefferson wrote in a personal letter.
The first amendment guarantees freedom of religion. And religious refugees to the U.S. came here to flee government control of religion, not vice versa. The phrase separation of church and state or anything like it is not actually present in any legal document.
The concept as written by Jefferson is about there not being control of one over the other - in either direction. The extent to which the concept has been expanded, let alone pretending it's law, has just been ridiculous.
At least with other latin languages, picking a more formal / longer word is usually better. Then, there's at least a good chance they have a similar word in their own language from the same roots.
Interestingly enough, the Spanish word for rectify is rectificar. The closest word I can find for "fix" (with online dictionary help) is "reparar." Of course using the word repair is probably harder to do without it sounding wrong.
Yeah, true intelligence is to know the right words to use - which is not necessarily the optimal words in a vacuum. Dynamically adjusting language to your audience is a skill more "too smart for their own good" people need. Life is not a contest to find the most obscure word to use in a given situation.
On the other hand, I tend to shy away from using overly simple terms when talking to toddlers. They are sponges and they soak up anything you throw their way.
While this is all true, life isn't fair and some people really are just dumb. Most of the time, though, you can find something to appreciate in a given human being.
And no need for a scanner - just print directly to PDF and open in Photoshop or Illustrator or GIMP. Just have to have the software to generate the new barcode. That's the most complicated part. There's really no way to detect a forgery unless that part of the barcode is ignored and looked up from other data in the barcode.
Yes, something like SPF would work great for both email and caller ID - IF everyone nationwide agreed to do it at once. And even then, what do you do about calls from international call centers? We can't enforce our calling system on the world.
This is exactly what I do at home, but only by happy accident. I was working at home, and didn't want a second phone number nor to bother my wife with my calls. They have to press 1 to talk to me, or 2 to talk to my wife. We haven't received a single robo-call since this has been going. No need to even make the number change randomly as there are few people doing it.
Only problem is that businesses that I buy from and want to have reach me don't detect when robocalls fail and never follow up with a human or even snail mail. Charter won't let you schedule a service appointment without a robo callback.
We have a winner! Submit your proposal to the FTC and collect your prize money! Empowering consumers and crowdsourcing law enforcement finally makes sense.
Great...last time my Asterisk box got hacked, I was out dozens of dollars on phone charges before I caught on. I learned my lesson and nothing's accessible from the outside. But if this happens after such a law is passed, I'm looking at fines and/or jail time for being a victim.
Whenever you get such a call, you should immediately hang up and call the company at a known good phone number. It's the only way to verify, as the caller could have spoofed their caller ID.
There are also robocalls for emergencies. A lot of local school districts have contracted with a service for this for things like school cancellations. If the weather is bad and school is called off, all the hundreds of parents get a phone call within a few minutes of each other.
You want a white list for your home phone? Play a recording to the rest? http://www.asterisk.org/
You're welcome. It's not that expensive. And if you want to pay a few cents per minute you can even route cellular calls through an Asterisk box. Or use Google Voice for that.

You're right- the free market doesn't allow for much liability at all.

No, you can install a closed-source binary on Linux. For Netflix, Macs are supported through Microsoft's Silverlight.

Did the article say that every bit was accounted for or not? If every bit's accounted for, then we'd know there's no checksum.

The "proper channels" should not exist as it's free speech, but that was my point.
Well it has something to do with not selling nor having degrees. What's the proper channel for posting free information online?

Too bad I was using asterisk over hacked wifi. Police just beat up an innocent.

Well said. I never realized it, but that's exactly who is attracted to that line of work.
