Not everyone who does a bad thing will continue doing it indefinitely. How many people do you know that have stolen some sweets from a store when they were younger, but wouldn't dream of doing it now?
Obviously, this can be counter-acted by a "lifetime" for the ban (so it expires after a few months on the first incident, few years on the second and never on the third, for example) or some way of getting removed from the list such as showing you have received help in curbing the behaviour.
I can only get all the comments to display if I don't have the "Classic" interface. When I select it, only the first comment (and the first child of each comment under it) show up.
I'm somewhat surprised this is allowed. Making a mistake is one thing, but purposely falsifying information that someone is paying you for (perhaps even specifically for the accuracy!) is another.
Is this one of those things that is actually allowed by law or just unenforceable because they can claim it was a mistake?
So you either modify everyone's desktop because you don't want that icon on your desktop (providing you have sufficient privileges) or you have to put up with it in case some other user wants it on their desktop?
Why is it an issue? Isn't there a technique called 'white-out' or something to handle this without having to do either of the above? Like.. creating a hidden file with the same name suffixed with "_DELETE" which tells Windows not to show that icon? Or have it part of desktop.ini
UnionFS (and similar) manage to cater for this scenario..
The following transpired during my driving lessons ( about 2/3years ago ) in a Ford Ka.
"When I put my hand on the dash, I want you to do an emergency stop." "Okay" *gets up to speed and the hand goes to the dash, brakes are slammed on* SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*stop* "Did you just skid?" "Yes, I thought you said this car has ABS?" "It does"
So far, my experience of ABS is "it doesn't help".. but it may have simply been broken on that particular car ( I've not had to stop quickly in any other car with ABS that I've driven ).
GPS is quite a weak signal, and in my experience, rarely works indoors. So would this be useless in a mall or other large, high-human-density building?
If I were subjected to this, the first thing I would do would be to figure out how to remove it without setting of the alarm and then tie it to, say, a car exhaust. If only for the challenge!
On another note, the world may not be more safe or unsafe as it has in the past. The difference is that it has becomes easier to hear about what *does* happen with the internet and such.
I have an SLI system and ( I believe my motherboard is damaged ) most of the time the second card isn't "present" so sometimes when I boot, there are 2 cards, sometimes one. Now, when this second card magically appears, xorg can't figure out which one is the primary device ( I'm fairly sure the first one would be a good default ) and I get "no screens found" in the logs and X won't start. Took me a little while to figure that out and fixed it with a Busid line in xorg.conf.
Probably would have fixed it faster if I'd actually looked at the logs straight away and I'm fortunate to have multiple computers ( quick google search led me to the answer ). I'm guessing the problem arose from the second card not being present during the installation.. so the hardware detection still has some ( minor but significant ) gaps.
Then pay for the 'all you can eat' service at the average speed you want and not the "this is the burst speed that you'll get for 17 minutes". And yes, it takes my connection only 17 minutes to hit my download cap.

What does it mean if you didn't even notice his penis was shown during the movie and only found out it was reading this discussion?
You might not put anything on there you don't want employers to know, but does that guarantee that someone else won't?
If it is a life-long punishment, I'd say yes.

Perhaps they have the same issue?
Your typed English is very good though :)
Unfortunately, you won't understand this reply :(
peer: a person who is of equal standing with another in a group
So yes, quacks reviewing quacks does count as peer review. Don't dismiss something just because it was said by someone/a group you don't like.

Hear hear.

The CPU in my Acer Aspire 5930 is one example: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=36750

"When I put my hand on the dash, I want you to do an emergency stop."

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*stop*

"It does"

Using something like lessfs ( http://www.lessfs.com/ ) but across the *entire* network?
Is it illegal to download a list of instructions on which chunks to use ( and in what order ) to create a copyrighted work from your family photos? :)
Note that you can count to 31 on one hand :)
AARON SWARTZ would have known his access was unauthorized because it was with a password that did not belonged to him.
Proof-reading. A valuable tool.
Actually, that raises a good question.

Sonic 3D Cheats menu: B,A, Right,Right, A, C, Up, Down Down, A (It spells Barracudda) one of the more memorable cheats :)
Fixed that for you :)
Out of curiosity, what would you do in the event of breaking down in "the middle of nowhere"?
There are parts of Queens where you do not want to be alone on a subway platform at 3AM.
Unless they are notorious for things dropping on your head, I'd imagine you are safest when you are alone :)
No worries, to me it wasn't rude at all, just "matter-of-factly". It's all good :)
Replying to myself.. but I wanted to thank those that cleared up that misconception that I had where anything violating a law was criminal.
Cheers
If they are downloading something illegally, aren't they already criminals?
I thought criminalising something was where you took something that wasn't illegal ( but a significant amount of people do ) and making it illegal?
I never said I had a dual-head setup, I said I had ( intermittent :P ) SLI.
