Just wow. I wonder what happened. Maybe there's some money threshold where you just say: "naah, I've got enough". Or maybe his bank just phoned and said - "your account balance does not fit anymore in our VARCHAR2(10) column.."
Anyway - looking forward to see the bright *snicker* future.
That was my exact first thought! How was is that the player generated content was not "exploited" in MUD era? Or wat it because players/wizards taking care of their assigned content were very quick on fixing potential exploitable things?
You might be right about the VLHC. I think the 100km circumference is meant considering current/near future magnet technologies. AFAIK when designing LHC to fit into LEP they planned for magnets that did not exist at that time. Maybe with a really good advance in magnet tech VLHC can fit inisde LHC tunnel...
How hard would be for those large companies to just offshore the sales to avoid paying this tax? I mean they are already doing it to dodge other taxes anyway. Wouldn't this just affect smaller shops that do not have an army of lawyers and "tax optimization" specialists.
Fortunately this is US only (for now) but it's a very bad example for other goverments. I can already see other country politicians smiling and thinking: "Hey - we can do that too, right?"
Money talks... Shotsighted decisions for quick profit and cost cuts are "in" these days. But in the end all cuts on wrong places will come back and bite whoever will be in charge. The sad thing is it is already someone else because the one that decided for outsourcing is most probably safe up the ladder for the money he "saved".
They will actually introduce infinite number of very small milestones. That's why there will be no number - who would want versions like 5.333333333333 (ad infinum) ?
I think that a missile (read "lot of explosives") does not need to fly "in" through window. Unless of course you want it to also fly past the inside door, turn left down the hall and hit the enemy directly in his left ball - in that case this offset can cause trouble.
Maybe google streetview cars should somehow make people aware they are snapped. Some form of a constant loop from a loudspeaker. Something like "All your from street visible base are belong to us" or just some other recognizable sample?
On the other hand... if the offended people did not check their own address in streetview it is their own fault.
I'm pretty sure someone will find a way how to get the control back or salvage large number of zombie-PCs even without those domains. It happened before: https://infosecurity.us/?p=6262
Sadly I must agree. However it's only my opinion. Photoshop from v7 up kinda lost it for me. All subsequent versions of PS just added more functions I don't use and probably never will. Maybe I should wait for PS elements to reach CS7 to be usable for everything PS7 could do.... and yes. I've tried GIMP too.

Well, NSA's bust! Let's failover to NSB (N.S.Bureau) and continue without any problems. But - hey, sssh - noone needs to know, right?!

Seriously. Did anyone expect any other result? Money talks everywhere.

I wonder if Reuters did use google to find it out.
Finally a solution for people without any backbone.
Looks like they need moore wheels for teh internetz!

To me it seems more likely that the person who issued the ticket was more drunk than "driver".
Exactly my thought. Additionally they can sue spray manufacturers for providing the spray ... etc. One could even profit from such stupid decisions.

I like how the tags on the story say "dontbuyapple buynokia". I wonder if that's intentional...
