Any sentencing here should include a heavy fine to the ISP for technical incompetence.
Theoretically it already has, it's paid the fine in lost customers due to their service being so crappy. I can't imagine that you could pull something like this off without massively degrading the hijacked service.
FTA: "We bought Proview's worldwide rights to the iPad trademark in 10 different countries several years ago. Proview refuses to honor their agreement with Apple in China and a Hong Kong court has sided with Apple in this matter,"
"Proview International's shares have been suspended from trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since August 2010 and reports say it is deep in debt. It will be delisted in June if it cannot show it has sufficient assets, business operations and working capital."
These words are often used because they are unable to come with the proper vocabulary word of the time. Shows when someone is being more emotional then thoughtful.
Also pedafiles tend to use such language to get kids attracted to them.
I can see that you have "come with the proper vocabulary word of the time." Perhaps before commenting on the use of language, you should learn how to write it first. Swearing and cursing are entirely appropriate in certain situations and admittedly your point (once I deciphered it) has some merit, apart from the part about 'pedafiles'.
Yup, it's a modern, prosperous country that spouts bullshit and propaganda about its enemies. It does have a dubious government which oppresses the rights of the people as well. Oh, and so does Iran.
Seriously though megafauna are relatively easy to control because they breed slowly and can't really hide. It's the small animals you have to worry about.
You've obviously never stared down a charging bull elephant. (Not that I have, but it haunts my nightmares and I'm an Australian).
Removing copyright from the equation doesn't seem like it would help. What would?
How about restricting copyright holders powers to enforce their copyright, possibly back to what was intended with a short lifespan for copyright claims and using court action instead of acts like PIPA and SOPA?
I just want to know why it took the submitter so long to enter an independent bookstore? Chain stores are full of the same franchise books and terrible mass produced junk, it's the equivalent of McDonalds for the mind.
Having worked as a DBA in the mining industry in Australia, I can safely say that it's not just telcos that use multiple proprietary data formats and have very little regard for accuracy. The company I worked for took over a number of smaller organisations and the datasets we got from them were worse than useless.
From what I've been reading, he intends for the US to get to the moon using private industry incentives. So he'd most likely destroy NASA as an agency to free up that money.
Why do electoral commissions, or the local alternative, keep attempting to bring in voting systems that have been proven to be vulnerable? (Conspiracy theories aside).
Are you talking about one continent? I only ask because La Nina and El Nino have an effect on multiple continents. Not to mention that global climate change will most likely affect these sorts of large climate patterns first.
I have a good friend who married a Japanese girl 2 years ago and moved there. I mentioned to someone that I was planning to visit him and her first reaction was, "Aren't you afraid that you'll die from radiation poisoning?".
The fear of radiation poisoning seems to me to be an infantile reaction similar to fear of the dark(nyctophobia). It's a fear of something that we can't see, and can't quantify with our own senses. Why be mindlessly afraid of radiation when it can be measured and the risks are understood? I'm not particularly afraid of travelling to Tokyo when Fukushima is hundreds of kilometers away and virtually unaffected?
I've made a couple of O/T posts recently on/. This is another one. What the hell is going on with these racist n-word posts that keep popping up on/. recently, I would think that it's trolls, but they always seem to be ACs in the first 4-5 posts made on an article. It seems like they're far too active to be your standard troll.
Please reread that last sentence and decide to delete it. It's racist and it's debatably slander towards Microsoft implying that they a) assume that all MLK Blvds are dangerous or in bad areas of town and b) their patent actually goes so far as to always exclude MLK Blvds from walking paths. You're not defending your point by linking to that St. Petersburg Times article, either.
Can you explain why MLK Blvd being dangerous is racist? Bearing in mind that I'm a non-US citizen and that in most countries that I've been to or lived in, bad neighbourhoods are 'dangerous' irrespective of race.
Is there any kind of comment-system regarding these patents online? Like, my (published) thesis-work from1997 exactly covers the stuff mentioned above, with restriction that there are exactly 2 priority-levels..
Then submit it to the patent office as prior art, patent it yourself and start claiming royalties.
This is O/T, burn some of my positive karma if you need to guys. DW, regarding your sig. You do realise that the spot in user info for WoW names is the CHARACTER name, which can't be directly linked back to the account login? Unless you're silly enough to use your login name as your main character name.

G+ Xi Fa Choi!
Do No... errr, nevermind.

I'm pretty good at GTA, and I just got a call from some guy called 'Lucky' Lou Scarlotti.
Pity that corrupt members of the ADF have been selling arms.

Apparently the Zynga mission statement is, "Do Evil".

From memory, they didn't post as AC though. Although it may just be wishful thinking that leads me to remember it that way.

So your argument is that it's inobvious that when some major event happens that it will be searched for? Seems a little disingenuous to me.

Now someone can hear when I play the world's tiniest violin.
Yeah, but no-one would care.
