That sounds pretty home-grown to me. I understand there is time to be saved in just buying it from HP, but this seems like a fairly obvious solution to the problem at hand.

Actually, in most cases, stock options are all ready prevented from insider trading. This is how it typically works: you get hired by a company and has a hiring bonus they give you some shares. Also, every X days, you have an option to buy more shares at an 'option' price (usually the market low during the X days). At the same time you have an option to buy shares, you can sell them. Because you can only buy or sell during designated times, you can't time your option purchases around news from your company. Most insider trading cases involve people in the company calling up their freinds with 'tips'. Normal shares are used.
For instance, can YOU (British even so) park your assets offshore while parking your expenses onshore, escaping taxation while also piling deductions under your tax system? Can YOU pay a relative 1% fee to a tax accountant to draft an opinion letter outlining how all that asset movement is legal? Can YOU move compensation from tax-deferred instrument to tax-free account, eventually escaping all taxation on it? Can YOU escape taxation by being so diversely embodied that you simply end up paying yourself?
Of course, in the senate there was only one vote against the patriot act (public law 107-56), by senator Feingold. The house vote is interesting because it was a vote to suspend rules and pass the act. This means that it was a vote to decide whether the act could be passed without further debate, or whether further debate was need before a vote. If the yeas win such a vote, the act passes. If the nays win, it goes back into consideration. It is quite possible that the dems simply wanted to debate it some more, because it is an important piece of legislation. The senate vote was a straight yes or no on the law, so it may, in fact, more accurately show the posistion of the parties in general.
Ok, I guess I should clarify. G5 xserves don't seem to be happening where I work, because IBM can't meet demand for the chips in question. Thusly, our xserves and the xserves of a lot of other people have been delayed for... well, awhile. Yes, I know, they are shipping some. But a lot of people can't get theirs yet:|
And, by the way, the reason they don't do RAID in the powermacs is because they already offer RAID in their real power user machine... the xserve. Of course, g5 xserves don't appear to be happening (ship date gets pushed back, back, back) anytime soon.
IANAL, but as the copyright owner of nmap, fyodor has control over how it is licensed. If he wishes to make the license GPL+SCO-Can't-Have-It, that's his right. I think SCO would still be able to maintain their own branch, using older sources, because the license couldn't apply retroactively, to older versions. As far as the samba team, they don't appear to have gone as far as to actually revoking anyone's ability to use anything. I wish such statements actually made it into the hands of IT execs though. Maybe then all those guys (all 3 of them) using unixware+samba for a domain controller will realize that they want samba and not necessarily unixware.
Or, if they wanted to delay the game... they could just announce a delay. It is their product, they don't need to fabricate a reason. Not to mention that missing the ship date is practically industry standard amoung video game makers...
Or it could be that 1.75 million is a drop in the bucket for CC (it is), and so they decided that not pissing off the FCC was worth it. After all, they pay up this time and the issue basically goes away (the FCC probably won't go after them for a long, long time). If they fight it, chances are the FCC is going to enforce the rule every chance they get (to collect more legal precedent for censorship, to flex the beaurocratic muscle, because idle lawyers are a dangerous thing...).
Whoa whoa whoa cowboy. I didn't say a thing about any government lies or anything like that. I was simply stating that disney's decision to not carry Moore is not an infringement of his freedom of speech.
Thank you. Someone who understands the not so subtle difference between government censorship and business decisions (maybe made for political reasons, but still made by a non-government entity). You have free speech, but no distributor is obligated to sell your speech.
And if you don't buy one, the store won't order another one. In some warehouse, an xbox sits on a shelf. They can't afford to completely stop making them, until they kill it finally (you can't just start and stop production on something like the xbox for in order to produce _exactly_ the right number of units). So, for awhile MS will still produce the xbox, and it'll just sit somewhere (their shelf, because no store will buy at that point). All you would be doing is keeping the retailers buying these things from MS.
Of course mechanical computation is possible. The easiest example I can think of is division/multiplication. Two gears, the ratio of which is the multiplier. Turn the first gear a number of turns equal to the multiplicand and count the rotations of the second gear.
...by some accounts they are actually selling them at a loss. The real money is made by selling games and Xbox live. So even if you think MS is evil, buying an xbox and modding it to something else is not really supporting them. Well, you are reducing their loss...
Coca-Cola put out commercials that said "Coke makes your wang bigger, and lowers your taxes!" Some people might believe that. When you bring the false advertising suit against them, it's good to know that they can't use "free speech" to protect those practices. Similarly, if an individual was selling a product that claimed to do that, he/she could be charged with fraud. There are tougher restrictions against certifiably false speech, especially in relation to commercial transactions and judicial proceedings.
Remember, copyright law only applies when protecting the interests of the big industry associations (protecting their ability to produce more money from the same old formula). It is downright unamerican to suggest that they could be used to protect anyone else, including authors, song writers, and artists.
Yes, constitutional rights were violated before 9/11. However, now everytime someone wants to pass a law curtailing the public's rights, they proclaim that it is a "security measure" designed to "fight terror." It isn't like it was impossible to get obviously unconstitutional laws into place before 9/11, but now it is easy. Before, patriots said "Give me liberty, or give me death!", but now our government (I wouldn't call these people, as a group, patriots) says "Give up liberty for fear of death!"
Yeah, Rep Boucher only got about 1.5% percent of his corporate sponsorship from the TV/Music/Movies industry. Hatch got about 3%. Of course, Hatch also got about 10 times more contributions than Boucher overall. Such a wonderful system we have...

No, it means they can never be created or destroyed, they merely change and redistribute.

In short, yes.

That's funny, because to a lot of people, the matrix franchise 'jumped the shark' with the zion 'rave' scene. Coincidence? hmm
I believe this might be an all time low.

Read it again: he asks for resources for bands not signed to RIAA labels. RIAA != major. There are small labels that are members of the RIAA too.
