If a data collection company has data that I have bad credit due to identity theft they have no motivation to really fix it, even if it ruins my financial future.
Only the 3 major bureaus really have any data the affect whether you'll get credit, for how much, for what rate, and under what terms. That, and the records of the lender you are going to.
There are many Federal laws the protect it.
Criminal background companies are a different story, but I believe you have to be told which company provided adverse information if you were denied a job, etc and there are laws allowing that to be fought.
Apple fanboys here will be cheering Apple every step of the way.
For making it loud, for making the loudness cap, for making it hard enough, but not too hard, to hack the loudness cap, because Apple's Ipod is so "totally awesome" people just want to listen to it loud, because Apple ain't Microsoft, because they love and worship Steve Jobs, etc.
Perhaps it isn't normal EM that is causing the problem, but scalar waves.
That would explain the poor results in lab tests, creating a clean EM wave without scalar components might not effect one like "real life" EM exposure with a scalar component.
Maxwell's equations were quaternion based, Heaviside bastardized ("simplified") them using vectors and lost the scalar component, and with it, part of EM theory.
Scalar waves can shed light on everything from biological effects to electrogravitation.
The United States uses 120 volts, not 110 and has for some time. Old tube amplifiers have troubles due to the higher voltage.
Europe used to be 220 except the UK which was 240, now they are all moving to 230 (which is bad news for the UK - as higher voltage is more efficient, and being exactly twice the US is more convienient).
Frequency is kept regulated within very narrow bands, variations can disrupt the grid (parts of the grid need to be in phase and on frequency with each other to be joined - else huge currents flow - plus anything that was even trying to lag or lead from the rest of the grid would cause problems), also, clocks use the frequency for timekeeping, so even though a drop to 59 Hz in the US would still run most things just fine, over one day a clock would lose 24 minutes, hardly acceptable. Someone at MIT (I think) put a frequency changer before a classroom clock and was making class shorter and shorter each day to drive their prof batty.
100 volts in the US is way out of spec, 108-132 is the "acceptable" range, at 100 volts motors would be getting damaged or not run right, I'd be screaming at the power company if it was me getting that, computers would possibly have problems, would likely use more current to keep up the wattage, which could result in a positive feedback loop - if enough of the draw is such devices, less voltage = more current = less voltage until something gives way.
Is it actually illegal to redistribute, or does the GPL "infect" their code, because they are the ones who comingled it with their own code?
Could they support an action against someone, if in doing so they violated the license?
Can one commit a crime or tort and as a result of that, have someone else prosecuted or sued? Or is that a "fruit of a tainted tree" or "dirty hands" and thus such actions would be barred?
Diabetes, for example, causes blindness, impotence in men, loss of sensation, requires severe lifestyle restrictions and causes a LOT of pain and disability before it finally kills.
How do you make that bearable?
Hint, insulin and drugs don't reverse or even stop the destruction, just slow it down somewhat.
No, ASCII characters only go from 0-127, the high bit characters are either Latin 1, Unicode, or something else. Deciding whether something is Latin 1 or Unicode is the biggest problem for systems encountering character codes 128-255.

Really? No secrets??
Post your mother's maiden name, your full name, phone number, address, credit card numbers with expiration dates and verification codes, social security number, driver's license number, bank account number, routing number and loan history here.
You say it will hurt your security? People could us that info to harm you?
Well, guess what, there are things a nation needs to keep secret, because others could use that information to harm the country and its people.
Even under Bush, Yahoo and Google are very pro-China government in their actions.
And that is way more important to the Chinese internet policy than Bush.
As for Bush, he sets foreign policy in general. He may be unpopular, but he lets Wal*Mart buy billions of dollars in Chinese goods.
So under Bush, the Chinese are making huge amounts of money by selling us goods, getting US Internet firewall technology (from Cisco and others), getting a censored version of the world's largest search engine and logistical help in tracking down their dissidents - this is more important to them than Iraq.
Exactly. Weakening copyright would hurt the distribution companies, but not the artists.
The artists will find a way to survive, and even prosper, since the distribution companies will be weakened, and those companies have often exploited the artists severely.
The Internet takes care of (digital) distribution and promotion. As for the need for physical CD's, one could hire a CD pressing firm, rather than needing a full blown record company.
Slashdot Mirror
Bush has already destroyed much of the forests.

This is Slashdot, they probably already have and will again within the next 24 hours.

Sound like his problems could be just as, or more likely to be due to infrasound.
Just wondering, is there anyone who actually feel better during storms? I seem to.
But you
:)
never hear someone saying "storms make me ill" (unless they got a direct
hit of course!).
You don't hear it from them either, or much of anything, except a sizzling sound right at the time of the hit.

Stopping Content Restriction Annulment and Protection means not calling it DRM.
A better backronym would be Content Restriction And Policing.

People eat octopus?
That is a ridiculous comment.

We need a 4 GHz or faster CPU. More GHz is the only way to make a CPU intensive non-multithreaded application run faster.
Imagine how fast a 5 or 10 GHz PC will run.
(His advisors advised him to leave out "You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive, make your time")
He said that to the people of New Orleans.

Just upgrade your PC to a Pentium 4 and you won't need that space heater.
Visible light has an energy of 2.5 eV, or right at the low end of chemical reactions.
If it wasn't capable of initiating chemical reactions, you wouldn't be able to see!
Wouldn't it be a "cold exchanger"?
