Or maybe he predicts the result of the.net design, and thinks it's a good idea. Or maybe the Mets will win the World Series this year. Either way, you're in no position to make predictions about what's going on inside his head.
This is a system formed and managed by the federal government. This is an industry propped up by the government in spite of its own ineffeciency. Their security is under federal control. There are police precincts in many airports. If you don't think the government has a big part in this, you need to open your eyes a little.
How different would the situation be if the government proposed a profiling system like this for law enforcement and then tried to spin off a corporation composed of "former" federal employees to run it? Same government has the same interest and the same investment. It's just coming at it from different directions.
But when it happened to my uncle, a lot more of those things did happen. Don't make the mistake of assuming that your case is the typical one. I'm sure there are cases spread all about the spectrum. By the way, it would appear that there are entire "schools" in Nigeria, not school schools mind you, that teach people idedtity theft in the American system. Y'know, what documents, where to go to get the rest of them, how to exploit it to make it hardest to track, to correct. But hey, this passenger tracking system might keep some of them from entering the USA and causing all that trouble. Just keep everyone from Nigeria out of the country. Not!!
People, remember one important fact: The Ford car design is Ford's closed design, and other companies DO NOT have any right to produce wheels, carburettors, indicator lights and suchlike that can be fitted to Ford cars to modify them without legal consent from Ford. How hard is this for you people to understand? If you were Ford, how would you like it if people modified their cars in anyway after they'd left the factory. I would be pretty upset.
That's funny, a while ago when I went to the local Mitsubishi dealer to by a driver's side marker light for my Eclipse, I received one that was a different color than the one on my passenger's side. Maybe Mitsubishi should go after the company that made my passenger's side one. They probably have a good case, wouldn't you think?

I completely agree, but watch out that everyone knows that's only your opinion, or else the school might charge you with libel or slander. It's happened before...

He still has to pay a couple thousand dollars, do 80 hours of community service and be on probation for 8 years. Sounds like the CRC vs. guy with the really good math web site to me. So said Senior Staff Attorney Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), "This is a very good result for David. He very likely could have won if the case had gone to trial, but trials cost money and you never know what will happen." The system works, really freakin well... not.
Why don't you just serruptitiously open the cd in the store and completely skip the purchase phase? Not exactly the message you want to send, as it doesn't point out anything about the format that you don't like, but they won't be able to sell it, and maybe the low sales of Universal releases vs. normal sales of others will be noticed.

You think like Georgia State University, where, if your semester homework average only counts if it is lower than your average from other graded work, i.e. you'd better work damn hard on it and get nothing, than slack off and get hurt by it. I never understood that, but I guess it does bypass the whole cheating on homework problem.
Actually, from what the professors tell me, it's far, far more involved than 'diff'. And when was the last time you read a completely accurate article that had actual depth of discussion? Do you really think that Yahoo! News would print something like, "Yeah, our system generates parse trees from submitted source and compares them all to each other. Even though it's obviously an n-squared problem, we've optimized it to make it run in reasonable time."? I never have seen something like that in a news article, and I'm willing to bet that you haven't either.I'd also place money on the fact that the system doesn't use a single "sed" command, nor "diff" (or "indent, while I'm at it).
You know the truly funny part... in CS2130, a hello world that compiles with warnings and lints properly on Solaris will get you a 100 percent, regardless of the homework assignment. Of course, there are other assignments that this won't work for, though.
It should be noted that the FCC is pushing hard for adoption of digital television signals, especially for broadcast. There was supposed to be a deadline for implementation sometime this spring or summer, but so many companies couldn't get it together by then, that the FCC had to set up a waiver process to extend the deadline. Perhaps they will continue doing this ad infinitum, but there are some key Congressmen pushing for adoption, and Congress sure has the FCC dangling from a string nowadays.
I bet it's on the bottom, 'cause of the little legs on it. Makes sense to put some vents on the underside if you're going to make it stand up like that.
In point of fact, you're wrong. Titles of copyrighted works are not themselves copyrighted, but may be trademarked if they are sufficiently Unique. I could go out today and write a book (or produce a movie, or paint a picture) called _Gone With the Wind_ and Margaret Mitchell's estate has no control over it.
You might be surprised to read about a book called "The Wind Done Gone". For a while, a judge issued an injunction against the publisher preventing the distribution of the book to stores. It was filed by the Mitchell Estate.
Neither has Atlanta, which I'm surprised at, considering they'll let any old fiber or cable company rip up a random downtown street and block it of at 4:30 in the afternoon. It seems like they'd happily do the same to put in some traffic sensors, especially if it would alleviate our famous traffic problem.
Words do not carry with them an inherent moral or ethical value. Words are words are words (ad infinitum).
Well, what I really want to know, is if the word fuck is considered so bad, isn't it easier to just drop the connotations of the word from your brain than to try to make everyone else stop saying it? I mean, if it's such a bad word, why couldn't you just decide that it isn't. Poof, one less evil in the world. Of course, it isn't that easy, and I guess some people are lazy enough to try to make everyone else change, rather than changing themselves. I wonder if it's a genuine laziness, or that egocentric view that makes people believe that they themselves are the right ones, and everyone else is wrong.
I guess this solution doesn't account for perhaps a religious belief that that exact permutation of letters is morally wrong, but I'm not prepared to argue against that. I speak from the point of view of agnosticism.
The article mentions that the finished product would weigh around two pounds. How much methanol is two pounds, what volume? And that's assuming the rest of the design has zero mass. Besides that, I thought the picture that they showed at the top of the article looked significantly small enough to hidesomewhere under some armor or something. Basically, my point is that it's going to be a moot point that they carry something flammable in this design.
