I want to see the request so I can find out whether sourceforge was justified in "complying". Did they just knee-jerk?
I wouldn't classify it as "knee-jerk", but it's essentially what the law calls for. Read up on the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the DMCA. Basically, it is "shoot first and ask questions later".
A net increase in the number of accidents increases the net amount of work local police departments have to do.
IIRC, there is a small decrease in the property dollar-cost of collisions at intersections with traffic cameras. However, when the number of collisions go up, the number of people affected by collisions increases.
But the insurance companies pay out a little less money.
Goal: Recommend legal definitions for the various aspects of the change interval and a defensible methodology for calculating and evaluating change intervals. (1985, page 5; 1989 page 27.)
Allow easy identification of violators by law enforcement agents. (1985, page 5; 1989, page 28.)
A while ago I had gone to San Francisco for a conference. While I was there, I had stopped in to The Container Store and made a small purchase with a debit card.
It Mt. Laurel, NJ, there is a plaza (East Gate Square) that contained an OfficeMax and a Staples, Linens-n-Things and a regional kitchenware store, a CompUSA, Best Buy and Circuit City. Circuit City is practically next to Best Buy.
In the past year, the OfficeMax, CompUSA and Linens-n-Things have all closed.
I'd like to see this guy to a BJ's or Costco in the US and try to walk past the person checking receipts, which is standard at those stores.
There is a difference. BJ's and Costco are membership-based stores. If you read the fine print to the membership agreement, I'm pretty sure you'll find that they require you to show receipts at the door.
But if a larger percentage of Democratic and poorer voters aren't working within the rules, then I don't see a problem.
It's not that they're not working in the rules, the rules were changed and had a disparate effect on them.
This is very similar to the hot-button topic of alleged racial inequality in prison. Without trying to come down on one side or another, if a certain group of people commits crime in a larger proportion than another, it stands to reason that a larger percentage of that group will be in jail.
Actually, no. I don't know if it's "error" or "freudian slip" on your part, but the number of that group in jail would be larger, not the percentage. If it's the percentage, then there is a possibility of selective prosecution, or disparate application of sentencing for that crime.
One would hope that the percentages would be comparable across the two groups.
Only a handful of these were for double voting. A large chunk involved vote-buying in down-ticket races. Many were for illegal registration (legal resident non-citizens registering to vote), often filling out a "motor voter" section on a drivers licesnse application.
Remember, this big push to prosecute the non-existant voter fraud led to the firing of US attornies by the Bush administration.
You get married. You update your drivers license with a new last name. You move. Your address is now different. You go by Larry, but your drivers license says Lawrence. A board of elections data entry clerk enters "Larwence"
All of these things qualified as "not matching" in the Indiana study.
Elections should be based on the popular vote, not the outdated electoral college system and electronic voting is really the only way to make it happen
I disagree. In a national popular election, a recount would involve every precinct in every place in America. Some backwater polling station in Podunk, Nowhere could potentially tamper with the results of the vote on a national level. I don't think the electoral college is outdated. It effectively compartmentalizes the voting off state by state.
If there is that big a question about the results in a state, any house member is free to raise an objection to the counting of the Electoral College votes.

Crap. Just when I get used to having to work an extra fourth dimensional shift, now I have to pick up work on a 5th dimension?
When will I sleep?
Get a Sirius/XM business account. The business account includes rights to play in your business.

It's called "copy pasta"
Your cabinet died of dysentery.
Would you like to play again?

Correct. ITE shortened the yellow light timing in their 1985 updated standard. It was further reduced in 1989. This coincided with the time that New York City started testing red-light camera systems.
2007 Virginia Study shows that red-light cameras increase rear-end (and total number) of accidents at intersections.
New Jersey is considering such a system for the Atlantic City Expressway
Some shady companies have reportedly astroturfed at reseller ratings.
South Jersey Gas will e-mail you a PDF copy of your bill. Down side is that for some reason the e-mail is about 2 MB.
Nice thing is that I can keep the PDF and print out the one page that shows the actual amount and throw that in the datastore.

A while ago I had gone to San Francisco for a conference. While I was there, I had stopped in to The Container Store and made a small purchase with a debit card.
Fast forward roughly a year and a half (and living in another state), I get a notice of a class action lawsuit against The Container Store for violation of some California consumer data protection statute.
I was pretty shocked that they were able to track me down like that. I didn't even have the account for that card anymore.
ACTRA and SOCAN are Canada's recording industry associations. They parallel the US's MPAA and RIAA.
No, SOCAN is more along the lines of BMI and ASCAP. They represent artists and songwriters, not movie studios and record labels .
Al Biles is at the Rochester Institute of Technology, not University of Rochester.
Nope. I drove by there a couple days ago and all the signage has been removed. I'm assuming they've stopped work on it.
I read it as:

Have you tried J & N? Or are you more of the "Buffalo" WNY than the Rochester WNY?

PS: In-person voter fraud doesn't happen in statistically significant numbers. Despite a five year crackdown by the Department of Justice, there were a whopping 120 prosecutions nationwide resulting in 86 convictions. (Sorry, registration required. Try news.google.com search for "In 5-Year Effort, Scant Evidence of Voter Fraud")

Voter fraud is just a strawman argument rasied by Republicans to disenfranchise voters.
