Stop trolling. Please. If you're serious in your belief, you're doing absolutely no good trying to spout it off here, as you're coming across as an idiot rather than an intelligent person with something to contribute. Please don't make it harder for the rest of us out there who have faith to be able to hold intelligent discourse with other non-believing human beings.
Many of those who consider themselves "religious" are smart enough to know that there are two types of stem cells: embryonic and adult stem cells. We only have issue with the embryonic cells due to the method generally used to collect them (abortions). Many are reasonable enough (including myself) to have no issue with cells harvested from the afterbirth of normal non-abortive births - the issue is that using cells from abortions creates a demand for cells from abortions, which in turn creates a social benefit from abortions, which then encourages abortion in general. By removing the benefits gleaned by science from aborted children, you remove the very issue which drives the anti-stem cell movement, and society as a whole can just get on with the science of curing diseases.
Please learn to be less bigoted towards people of faith, as we are as varied in belief as the world is varied in race, culture, and language.
They make you sign an agreement that they retain the copyright... get a good photographer, pay the higher price, and have it be a work for hire instead of the standard contract that leaves those photos as his/her property!
This removes the "distance" that all of these companies using Righthaven chose Righthaven for, so they'd be liable for any losses. The current situation appears to leave only Righthaven responsible for any losses, and leaves the businesses free and clear of any possible loss.
Yeah, my wife and I stopped watching the SciFi channel altogether when it became SyFy. We found that anything which was good and SciFi ended up on BBC America, so we've switched to that. X-Files reruns, the Dr. Who series on Saturday nights at 9pm, the upcoming BBC Original "Outcasts", Star Trek TNG, Battlestar Galactica... sounds to me like they're the new channel for all us actual SciFi lovers.
Cross Licensing by big corporations keeps them going, but how does John Smith's "Wizbang Application House" get access to these software patents so that they have a chance to compete? The cross licensing agreements among large corporations create a MAJOR barrier to entry in many software markets.
I say allow patenting any mathematics for which there is no prior art, but the patent expires 1 year after issuance and becomes public domain. You don't want your source in the public domain? Keep it as a trade secret instead then, but don't whine when it leaks into the public domain anyways. Coke has kept their recipe a trade secret for a very long time, and it works for them.
Seriously. I'm leaving my bank because their password policy is:
Alpha and Numeric values only, no punctuation, no special characters. Minimum length: 6 characters. Maximum length: 8 characters.
I explained to their security department how ridiculous this was, and that a password like that is inherently highly insecure, detailed all the reasons, explained that I use passwords that are full sentences with punctuation and a few special characters peppered throughout... their answer? Sorry, allowing longer passwords leads to more requests for password resets.
Convenience for the bank support desk was ranked more important than my ability to secure my financial data. Yep... looking for a better bank.
Or, place it inside a fully functional printer, directly wired to the USB line, hiding in the back of an unused paper tray slot of a multi-slot computer... then, with the printer connected, the Hard Drive can also be connected (or easily disconnected). Add a switch internally if you're paranoid, or set the power such that turning off the printer turns on the hard drive and vice versa.
come on... Maybe Everyone is Exceptionally stupid, Truly... At least Try to Make it less Obvious. Each Secret system has it's own way of passing data... I can think of 8 off the top of my head, but none are that ridiculously easy to spot. Perhaps More effort is needed to create a good example? even this one is pathetic, but it's more realistic than what you are showing, and more accurately to the point (somewhat).
You mean like the evidence they gathered when tracking down the real criminal? The evidence that showed multiple IP addresses in multiple locations? The evidence that eventually led to the capture of the correct individual? If they'd looked for that evidence first, instead of knee-jerk responding with unnecessary force, they might not have beaten a man for no valid reason.
Hey, I never said anything about "accurate" just "more accurate" than the initial statement. It's more likely to be correct in the case of the common person, but not correct in the case of a computer literate person... so... for someone committing computer crime it's probably not the best indicator, admittedly.
Especially if Law enforcement is saying "unencrypted open wifi = RAID!!!!! and abuse". So, you're under suspicion if you're using encryption, but you're going to get raided and beaten if you leave it open... seems like it might be time to move elsewhere... but where else is there to go that has more freedoms? (serious question here, not rhetorical).
Sounds like we need special judges for specific specialities, and only a judge within that specialty can issue warrants based on the details, i.e. a Network Systems and Communications Judge is required for any warrant related to Networked systems and communications... If you're planning on raiding a place for CP, you need a NS&C Judge's warrant, but if you're planning a raid for illegal weapons, you need a ATF Judge's warrant in order to proceed, and if you have enough circumstantial evidence to get a warrant for both causes, you'll need two judges to sign off. Seems like that could keep us with Judges who know what the heck is actually going on before issuing documents that allow a person's life to be ruined.
ISPs keep track of which MAC address / Serial number / other unique identifiers had that particular DHCP assigned IP address at that particular time. Still not foolproof, but more accurate that you are making it out to be.
No, they get paid by your carrier. Your Carrier is responsible for getting quality products from their suppliers. You wouldn't yell at the manufacturer of a drawer handle if it breaks off your Ikea dresser... you yell at Ikea for getting substandard parts or for not ensuring that the handle they bought worked well with the dresser material they chose to use to build the thing.
Blame AT&T, Verizon, Samsung, or someone who you paid money to. You did not pay money to Google. You did not pay money to the Android open source community. You did not pay money to any of the supporting open source projects that make Android possible. Stop blaming those that do work for free and instead blame those that take that work and sell it to you without performing proper UAT to confirm that the FOR PROFIT application meets the needs of the client base and is ready for sale as a product.
No, it'd be more like they include lifetime On-Star support, but only for the original purchaser of the car, and offer a $500 package for lifetime On-Star support for any subsequent buyers of the car should they wish to activate it. Sadly, this example shows just how simple it would be for the car industry to start implementing this... think On-Star, XM Satellite Radio subcription, Online car maintenance automatic notifications, etc. All could be set up to only work for the first buyer, and require secondhand buyers to purchase packages to retain the non-essential extras in the system.

If you're ripping around the cosmos at warp 9, time and space are warping around you, so you'd never know the planet was there...
Someone already has... it's just called BBC America.

The assault is why he should sue.

That only works for people using port 80 to retrieve HTTP traffic... P2P traffic would be unaffected.

It just makes it feel like they are trying to stretch 5 minutes worth of content into a 42 minute show!
