Flash... Java... Bash. They all have the letter 'a' in them as their first vowel.
I think it's a conspiracy by the first letter of the english alphabet.... Yup, that must be it.
Oh wait.... "Windows". Hmm... that doesn't fit the pattern at all, does it?
I think I'll need a couple more data points before I can reasonably conclude that Windows might just be a statical aberration, however... What about any reported vulnerabilites on Mac's or on Slackware?
It's not that gravity "overcomes" the speed of light, per se... but the fact that light always travels in a straight line, and that gravity can actually bend space, affecting what straightness actually is in that reference frame. Black holes, therefore, would bend space within a volume of space referred to from outside of it as their event horizon such to an extent that any straight line within the volume defined by the event horizon never actually leaves that volume.
"We use locks on our doors to keep criminals out not because they are perfect, but because they are both convenient and effective enough to meet most traditional threats."
There is a third reason that such locks are practical, and it is something that cannot be satisfied by any kind of biometric authentication.
Failure of the security system provided by locks, however infrequent, can still be mitigated enough to carry on with no less effectiveness to meet security threats in the future as you had before the failure. IE, you can go ahread and change a lock
Only if that included industrialized nations, which are the greatest contributors. The continent of Africa contains something like 70% of the least industrialized nations in the world. If half the population of Africa were wiped out, it would be unlikely to make any statistically significant difference to global warming.
There's nothing wrong with pay services in general... but I'd argue that there's also nothing wrong with certain services also being paid for entirely by the general population's tax dollars. Would you really want to have to pay the police to find your stolen car or arrest somebody who assaulted you, for instance? Or do you think police work for free?
Would you care to explain the logic behind that kind of conclusion? Or were you just overcome with some sort of compulsion to say something completely random, with no logical basis at all?
Part of my gross income goes to it, but any difference between that and my net income is money that never comes ino my possession in the first place, so while it may be part of my gross income, it never feels like part of my actual income, and anything paid for by the difference, when I am not having to shell out money that I've actually brought home, is basically free.
Ask Canadian TV broadcasters that question, who insist on verifying that you are a Canadian cable TV subscriber before they will let you watch their shows online. I suspect that Netflix may be expected to adopt the same behavior, or else not be permitted to show TV shows in Canada which may also happen to be aired on a Canadian network, regardless of where the show was made.
The CRTC had no jurisdiction over video rental stores because you couldn't go into a video store and legally rent a copy of yesterday's episode of a TV show.
Netflix could also resolve this by simply not serving any tv shows to Canada.... or perhaps being more fine grained, only serve tv shows to subsribers who have verified they have a Canadian cable tv subscription, much like how Canadiian broadcaster websites currently do.
Certainly your solution would work, but there are far less drastic solutions, albeit ones that may pose greater technical challenges to implement.
It is generally the case up here that in order to watch many shows online, you generally have to verify that you have a cable subscription, This is often done through a sort of google+-ish login on each individual broadcaster's website that verifies your cable account with the cable provider that you claim to use.
Now this isn't true for all shows, but certainly true for many... and by my own observation, seems to be particularly applicable for shows that happen to be US-made, and where (obviously) a local broadcaster has paid for the rights to air that program in Canada.
I suspect that if Netflix required such verification, they would not likely be having this problem. It would also not be a problem if the person was watching something that was not a show being aired on a Canadian network (eg, a movie, or else an old tv show that is no longer on the air).
That makes sense... but with tenure can the reason for dismissal be as flimsy as "I saw some bad stuff about you on the Internet"?
"I don't like you anymore" and "I want to hire somebody else to do the job you have been doing, but who will accept less money for it" are reasons too.... but I don't think they are acceptable reasons to dismiss someone from a tenured position.
Things I'd put such an rfid on include my phone (when its run out of power and I can't just call it), my car keys, the remote control, my reading glasses (as long as it's small enough to unobtrusively attach to the temple part of the glasses frame), and my cat.
Maybe it's just me, but when I hear a term like base memory, what comes to mind is how much ram the device actually has for runtime applications to use, not flash ram,which I would equate more to permanent or offline storage.
Did I ever once suggest that I would Liberal? The conservatives might tend to be the lesser evil of the two, but we have more than two parties.
I vote with the party that most closely aligns to my own views... that doesn't necessarily mean I'll vote for the winning party (I can't remember the last election where I voted for the winning party actually), but I know in the end that it's the most I can do to give my own personal values a voice in Parliament, and an alternative view for them to consider when enough people in my voting district vote the same.
Which is particularly ironic now that Bill C-11 passed in 2011 (despite otherwise unanimous objection to it by all other parties, the Conservative government, controlling slightly more than 50% of the seats in the House of Commons, was able to finally push it through, which they had been trying to do repeatedly since 2006, and were only able to do so once they had a majority government), and which happens to make it illegal to bypass or break any kind of technological protection measures on copyrighted works, even for personal use, and considering the increased reliance of such measures in an only ever-increasingly digital era, this bill makes the levy on blank media, which was supposed to exist to subsidize for private copying only by the way (not piracy, as some people believe), an extra expense that Canadians are paying for and practically don't even have the right to legally enjoy (although the government has said they will not enforce the bill in matters for strictly private use, it would still apparently be technically illegal).
Did I mention that I really hate the Canadian Conservative government? I sure as hell didn't vote for them.
If some creature, without having been ever been trained or taught how to do it by a human being, formed a weapon-shaped mould out of plaster or ceramic, and then went and melted down some metal to get it into a liquid state, which it would pour into the mould, and waited for the molten metal to solidify before trying to use it as a weapon that is more effective than what they can do with their natural limbs, then I would say that the weapon was produced by non-natural mean, whether or not it was a human being that was doing it, and honestly, I don't know how anyone else could claim otherwise. At some point in prehistoric times, human beings figured out how to do this on their own, after all.
You are right about fire being an interesting discriminator, because although fire certainly happens naturally all the time, it seems that only human beings actually contain and explicitly employ it for any kind of productive use. Also interestingly, humans have been controlling fire for over a hundred thousand years for a variety of purposes, so one might want to ask why haven't other species started doing it by now too? *THAT* would be a revolutionary discovery... noticing that apes might like to murder eachother because it has some measurable evolutionary benefit is just... well... meh.
I'm pretty darn sure that paying attention to somebody else on the allegation that they are better looking than you does not actually qualify as sexual harassment.

They'll still pick it up, but then you'll just be fined. If you don't pay the fine, you could end up getting yourself arrested.
If you don't like it, don't live in a city.

Except it's not. You are right about "alumium", however.

Yeah.... it's called taxes... and it feels free because you usually don't even see the money in the first place.

A lot of people died just trying to cross the Atlantic ocean for the first time... and that's in an environment that is actually hospitable to life.
I suspect that making the months-long trip to mars to be just as fatal for many before we succeed.

Yeah, but this isn't just an ordinary NDA.... it's one with the FBI.
My point being that for something like this, you wouldn't necessarily have any way to know who broke the NDA if it happened to get violated.
Who goes to jail? Everyone who signed the NDA?

I agree, but I think that the article is talking about something different than that.
Youu mean the blank media levy? Yes.
