Would this track planes over the United States only, or would it have the capability to track them all over the world (like GPS does)? This would sure be useful when a plane goes down off of its course and outside radar range. Searching would be much, much easier.
I wonder how long before we get some trashy sci-fi novel called "The S34 Incident" about how aliens blew up the LHC to keep us from going back in time or something else equally ludicrous.
I thought the point of VBR was that it didn't use higher bitrates when they weren't needed during parts of the song, therefore using less disk space without a loss in quality. Do you really need 320kbps quality silence for those 2 seconds at the end of a track?
This is true, but won't we eventually be using cleaner energy sources? Even if it comes down to the final solution (We pretty much run out of carbon-based fuels), it's going to happen eventually.
Why would the government pay her to not grow food on her farm?
That sounds like one of the cushiest jobs in the world. The government is literally paying someone for doing nothing (that isn't a state or federal employee).
I've heard the argument that you can't use a name or a derivative thereof in many situations because it would devalue the brand name.
Would having a site with -zilla in it really ruin Godzilla's building smashing, fire breathing reputation? I doubt it. Now if someone made a shammy called the Shamzilla and it was a piece of junk, then it is certainly undermining the Godzilla name.
Even so, I think there should be a point where a trademark is recognized to be a part of the popular lexicon, like Xerox.
What is absurd is that our armed forces are being told today that they are supposed to win wars while both hands are tied behind their backs (ridiculously fucking stupid "rules of engagement" that presume the other side is following the GC when we know damn well they don't) and blindfolded (all sorts of nasty restrictions on intelligence-gathering).
It would be more absurd if we didn't follow rules of engagement. We hold our military to a higher standard - or at least we try to.
We try to follow the conventions because it's the right thing to do and the enemy often doesn't. Are you suprised? When is the last time two opposing countries fighting in a war (a WAR, not a battle) were both signatories to the Geneva Conventions *and* followed them? Even if you could find a case, I don't see how it could happen very often.
Would randomly shuffling IP addresses nightly across the board and purging the previous assignment records fairly quickly be a relatively good defense against the RIAA from an administrative standpoint?
If you can't associate an IP with a person, you can't sue them. What would they do then, sue the college?
Well, a marketing company or something else like that can't exactly torpedo the economy the way financial organizations can.
Lockheed Martin acts stupid, maybe they go bankrupt or get acquired. A financial company acts stupid, and... well, the last few weeks are evidence enough as to what happens.
I wonder, will she catch any flak for this? Does she get docked salary for letting it slip?
More importantly, why wasn't this extremely expensive bag tethered to something? If it can't be tethered to her for safety reasons, how about a magnetically secured line attached to the work surface?
I failed out of two high schools and never took a civics class. I'm quite proud that I managed 81.82%. It's a bit unfair that I'm a history geek, though.
This is why we should have civics and ethics education reinforced back in school.../=
I've only been around on Slashdot for a year or so, but I have no idea what the whole SCO thing is - or what SCO even means. The article is very vague as well, written as if the reader already knows all the details.
So uh, what's this whole case about anyways? Anyone care to explain it?
I live a couple miles away from Newark airport, so all of those improvements at cruising altitude wouldn't be worth crap to me honestly. Most of the planes are flying so low that I can see the bottle of Jack on the plane's dashboard.

I think a better analogy would be that this is like soldering for the body.
Can anyone translate this to car analogy?

2. Stupid federal laws and movie cartels with more than enough money to enforce them?

There's a difference between being a complete and utter asshole and talking someone to death.
If talking someone to death were a crime, my high school Algebra II teacher would be serving multiple life sentences.

Would those losses really be enough to nearly double the CO2/mile factor for an electric mini? I doubt it...
Isn't evidenced obtained via a crime (breaking into the car) inadmissable? How the Hell was he convicted?

Why not just have humans pilot them as unmanned ground vehicles? The UAV successes should be evidence enough that this can work.

I often freeze up on pages waiting for google analytics to load. How could one stop the data from being sent to them?
Yeah, they call it iEvil. It's pronounced how Obi Wan pronounces evil in A New Hope.

Yes, it is a royal pain.

So basically, you're saying Earth has its own set of deflector shields, and Mars doesn't? Awesome!
When we get to Mars we should try to reverse the polarity of Mars' atmosphere. That will fix things. Or maybe a tachyon burst from the deflector dish!
Except for the necrophiliacs...
I missed 4, 8, 20, 29, 30, and 33.

Indeed, thank you. That was very good and clear.
