I doubt Google censors things unless they have to. While I rather have nothing censored I suspect they're, unfortunately, forced to censor some areas.
Unfortunately people are too thick to realise that terrorists would probably visit the area they want to bomb to scope it out rather than visit google maps.
I know (or at least some businesses claim this) that part of the problem is who owns the exist holes in the ground and how much money they want to run fiber optics and the likes of BT not wanting to pay extra to run it through their holes.
We do have fiber at work and that's one of the joys of getting in before 8am before anyone else. The speeds I get are enough to make me cum my pants harder than any woman could do for me.:D
I might believe that if it wasn't for the fact I bought it after my Nintendo DS and I've yet to ever have to recalibrate my Nintendo DS. So unless HTC uses some really shitty hardware and charges more than more for it than a old style DS I don't see how that's the case.
Don't get me wrong I believe that hardware can be a problem sometimes but I've seen better performance from old touch screen catalogues in Sears from the 80s.
I'm more interested in seeing an end to software patents which is why if I was going come up with something worthy of a patent I would do the work outside of my job so it's mine completely and can't be claimed by my company.
Luckily my employer isn't a software company so it's easier to do this.
That sounds like such a half assed thing to do and it shows no respect for web developers. Everyone is patiently waiting for IE6 to die off and then they add it to another product.
Oh well, I suppose on the plus side there will probably only be about 3 people using Windows Mobile 6.2
My favourite is when it loses its stylus calibration. It's so random. I can through a period of weeks or months where it loses its calibration any time it goes into power saving mode. But then it can go months without it doing that and I've not changed my usage habits. It's almost like they've built that into that system to screw with people.
Imo, version 5 and 6 were both old by their release. Windows mobile has a lot of nice features but the interface is boring and lacking and the OS is buggy.
I was so glad to get rid of my Windows Mobile phone. I've been just using a cheap phone until I can see if there were be anything decent from Android.
It's a shame Apple are acting like a bunch of nazis about iphone development or I might consider their over priced phone.
Understanding complex code depends on how it was written and yes I can still understand complex code that might use random variable and method names that make no sense but it will take me longer just as having to sift through someone's code will probably take longer than reading documentation.
There is a difference between people flat out not being able to understand something and wasting their time because you couldn't be fucked to document things as you should and there is absolutely no reason for a company with a software monopoly and shit loads of cash not to provide documentation when "small fries" do it.
I agree with what you said but at the same time the site is more unbiased than people think.
If any company is doing something poorly being unbiased doesn't mean attack and promoting those bad habits. It means reporting fact. Fact doesn't always give both sides because there isn't two sides to give and the fact is Microsoft does a lot of stupid stuff. The consumer doesn't always see (or care about) this stuff so some articles come off as biased attacks on Microsoft in those people's eye.
I often use it when I SSH into my home PC and I need to grab something to install on it or whatever. I use it as a rough guide for site usability too. Lynx still has it's place, imo.
It is and they are. Legally, there is also no case for harassment here.
Not only was the page not intended for the purpose of intimidating the principal,
but the principle wasn't meant to view it. Furthermore, criminal harassment is in
the penal law (hint: see Title 18, Section I US criminal code) and is not a tort.
The principal can not charge her with harassment - that is the job of the DA and
I promise you he would laugh in the principal's face if the principal asked
him to bring charges. Libel (which this case would fall under) is a subsection of the
defamation tort and is what the principal would sue under.
It is clear you are
not only not a lawyer, but you do not even have a cursory knowledge of the law or
training in it. You can say how morally and ethically reprehensible this is, but,
according to the lawyer to whom I spoke, this general type of case would be very
difficult and expensive for the plaintiff to win, especially as a private citizen
with limited funds. The legal system is inherently adjusted to view speech as unrestricted
and therefore very specific conditions and strong evidence of intent, harm, falsity, and
absolute void of criticism are required. Even the Slashdot bible, wikipedia, notes:
For starters the whole argument that this happened outside of school and has nothing to do with the school is silly.
From the law.com article:
"The MySpace site, Munley said, focused on the principal, and its intended audience was students at the school.
A paper copy of the site was brought into school, and the site was discussed in school, he noted, and the
picture on the profile was appropriated from the school district's Web site."
This was brought in school and it was clearly meant to be an attack on the principal. Your Wikipedia link mentions that claims that are clearly not true can't be tried as libel? How
is this clearly not true when most people caught for having sex with kids are school employees? Oh yeah, being a tight ass is so unheard of in society. It must be made up! He probably is a tight ass or at least in her eyes. She didn't attack him because he was the greatest principal ever.
If she believes it (which she probably did) then it's certainly not "outrageous" parody.
Sorry but if you go into someone's place of employment and start treating them like shit then you are harassing them. Find an easy woman at work and sleep with her. Tell everyone that you slept with her and she's easy.
You're telling the truth so obviously nothing is going to happen to you.
I think the best that he could hope for in this case is an injunction and huge amounts of money lost on
legal fees.
The PROPER response to this incident is to bring the kid and the parents to his office
and get them to take it down voluntarily. I doubt very much the parents would be happy with their child
after hearing about it.
Her parents were clearly douche bags. The fact they were willing to spend so much money to protect their child
who clearly acted like a jackass proves that they probably wouldn't have. Secondly nothing may have happened if she kept it out of school.
She did not.
That is what is flawed with the original post. The poster is biased and clearly didn't even read his own damn links. The principal probably would have never found out
but the kids felt the need to bring it into the school. So it's not even about censoring speech outside of school and sorry, no matter how much you think you know about law,
you can't go into school and claiming that your principal fucks in the office, touches kids and is a tight ass.
The founding fathers didn't foresee parents acting like their kid is god's gift to humanity and running a witch hunt any time a child cries wolf either.
The founding fathers would have voted for Ron Paul where as most Americans never heard of him or despise him. The least of our problems is a girl getting owned for for calling her principal a pedo.
Well then you go ahead and find out who she is and create a website dedicated to calling her a whore and a baby eater and see what happens. I think you'll find out that there doesn't have to be a monetary loss. If that was the case a lot of cases of harassment would be thrown out.
It was an attack without reason plain and simple. There is no legit excuse for it as it's not even a humorous one.
I'm assuming most people didn't read the whole thing. This wasn't completely separate from school since they shared the URL in school with others. Once that happened she brought her accusations of paedophilia into the school and, without a doubt, deserved her punishment.
Though, if I was the principal I would be half tempted to give her what she wants and remove the suspension from her record and then sue her for libel and harassment.
Have to prove? In an environment where a kids can claim sexual abuse and easily ruin an adults life and she calls him a pedophile? That's not hard to do at all.
You can argue that but the kid should just consider herself lucky it was a 10 day suspension and she wasn't taken to court for libel. She got off very lightly and should have considered herself lucky.
People forget that freedom of speech doesn't necessarily mean you can say anything and consider most parents will always side with the minor in the case of claims of sexual abuse, her saying such things could have a very big impact on his life. There is no reason for her to be allowed to do that. She should consider herself lucky that she was only suspended for 10 days.
To be fair that is only one area out of a huge country and it might not even be true of that whole area as I assume you don't go door to door and poll ever IT worker.
Secondly, working the help desk is fairly easily stuff. Anyone can do it. In fact, the latest trend in IT is to train monkeys to do help desk work. It's even cheaper than out sourcing, keeps wages in the country and there is little difference between the monkey's performance and any other help desk technician.

then why does the island of the UK have such slow broadband?
Some countries claim their size holds them back but the UK doesn't have that excuse. We're just getting screwed.
Woah, someone is totally jealous.
If you don't like it then don't play it. It's not our fault you can't recognise quality.

I'll say that next time I call someone a nigger.

Don't hang out in the porno groups. Seriously not all are bad and most of it can be filtered out.
Who ever modded this insightful is as dumb as the guy who posted it.
It's scary to think people this stupid are voting or will be voting. It's no wonder the political system has failed.
The judge was right in this instance.
People forget that freedom of speech doesn't necessarily mean you can say anything and consider most parents will always side with the minor in the case of claims of sexual abuse, her saying such things could have a very big impact on his life.

It's even cheaper than out sourcing, keeps wages in the country and there is little difference between the monkey's performance and any other help desk technician.
Holding a beer can is certainly not a crime and hardly a rare occurrence.
Secondly why is it if a kid was to look up info on his teachers he's stalking them but the school stalking him is perfectly ok?
Neo is older than new and comes from the Greeks to mean new or young. So maybe you should be using neo rather than that neoterm new.
