There is, and if the class-action waiver is ruled against, the entirety of Section 15 is tossable. It's All There in the Manual.
All other provisions excepting the class-action waiver are severable from the rest of it, and Section 15 in its remainder survives in such cases.
It's typical and reasonable, and sometimes people prefer to have people do exactly this for them. Besides, usually such services will allow you to assemble a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM "cart" loaded with free software, and you get all of it in one or two pieces of physical media. Certainly it's a polite practice...
Well, to be fair, this only occured within 24 hours of now. However, I've only brought up the "Once... twice..." argument as a cautionary one - i.e. watch carefully for another similar event, and examine the event thoroughly.
When I said "Windows does NOT run a ship of war", I referred to active ships. The USS Yorktown (CG 48) was decommissioned, and therefore is no longer an active ship of war. We evolved past using NT4.0.
Windows does NOT run a ship of war; I cannot say exactly what operating systems are used on the critical components (i.e. NOT shipboard LAN)but can say that they are a derivative of Unix. They are always kept in secured spaces and cannot simply be infected with a worm or virus. They're not even connected to the Internet.
The issue affects workstations kept on-land, and is likely covering those that are marked unclassified. Those are the ones running Windows - and I'll say it now, DoD should've gotten a contract with Apple.
Someone on a corporate level is starting to play against the labels. Granted, there may be some backlash from this, but if Apple doesn't budge (and aren't they one of the largest online music retailers?) won't other online music retailers join the cause?
Watch out; the Russians are going to somehow get their hands on a hard drive containing data on submarine magnetohydrodynamic propulsion, adapt it to a (slightly) larger Typhoon-class sub, and confuse the hell out of Naval sonar techs with singing.
... that another mainstream fantasy setting entered the play, and even moreso because it's a generally darker setting than nearly all other fantasy RPG settings. This'll be good.
Also, obligatory comment: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" (Translation: "We be comin' fer ye, ye insensitive clods!")
I've done some searching, and so far, all Web hits for the entire name "American Rights Counsel LLC" (actual search string, incl. quotes) - even the foreign-language hits - all only point to news postings related to the takedowns. That's 101/101 hits total from a single Google search with that string, followed by 102/102 via Yahoo. Not a single one showing that group in a neutral light.
I'd therefore posit that this was either a non-Anonymous individual/group trying to draw negative attention towards the Church of Scientology, or an act carried out by a shell group controlled by the Office of Special Affairs (an actual group within the CoS).
There's a patch for this whole thing, and it's been out for ages. In some cases it's even easier to use. It's called Linux, and it's free. Get it today.
It will at least be able to provide a means of generating oxygen for a manned mission to Mars' surface, provided the necessary machinery would be light enough to transport there.
This may have already been stated below, but after reviewing Wikipedia's entry on perchlorate, it is worth noting that the compound is negatively ionic. More analyses will likely need to be conducted to determine the quantity of perchlorate relative to other substances that it can react with.
All that was established was the presence of perchlorate; there is still a chance that it could have a concentration similar to that which exists in various parts of our planet.
This guy must be fishing for something really charged to go out on, as it's unlikely he'll pursue another term in the Senate due to his age. And even if he does, a lot of the computing public is not going to like him.
And, to correct the story, might want to make that "Arlen Specter (D-PA)"
Indeed. A lack of experimental evidence that points towards the idea of a "second Earth" existing in the same space as our own but "shunted" a bit off in a dimension beyond normal 3+1-space does an excellent job at precluding such a world's existence.
Or, it could be that physics hasn't evolved enough yet to take such ideas into account. In that scenario... "Time will tell. Sooner or later, time will tell."
Actually, if you read the second article (or the first link in the updated story), you'll see that the first base would pair up with itself instead of the second synthetic base - its intended pair. They "tweaked" it and it now pairs correctly... supposedly.
However, this makes it base-6 instead of base-5 or the current base-4. If you recall your high-school biology class, the base pairs only exist in two combinations, but in a total of four permutations. There's adenine-thymine, thymine-adenine, cytosine-guanine and guanine-cytosine. Each permutation codes something slightly different. The new bases would add two more permutations, thus making it base-6.
Well, there's a pretty good rule of thumb to live by...
"If you're trying to secure a computer system from someone with a sonic screwdriver, don't use anything involving sound-based security."
It's got to be WikiLeaks. It's one of the only sites to post that completely crazy garbage that Scientology calls the "OT" levels. And who can forget that draft version of ACTA that got mention here?
Wikileaks has a legal team and the balls to use them to keep running, but that likely won't stop the insensitive clods in the government.

... then wouldn't this be a tacit admission that most infringers were foreign nationals instead of domestic? Doesn't seem to add.
"Once is an accident, twice is coincidence..."
Need I remind everyone what a third incidence would point to?

The Doctor did it already... nothing spectacular, but eerily good.
That was taken out at version 2.01. Didn't you read the patch notes?

I honestly didn't see it. Oh well, shite happens.
... a pooled fund to purchase these e-mails, if for nothing more than mere shites and giggles.
Besides, he's an elected official, and as stated above, has no real claim to a "private" life. Fair game and all that.

At least you're not going to jury duty in a Starfleet uniform.

Last I checked, Verizon wasn't doing this to their customers. Guess they're becoming the better communications company on multiple fronts now, huh?
