"she was in the grocery store", that's a true fact -not half true not a lie-, and answers exactly the question at hand (her location). "what did you do this afternoon?" would be more what you're looking for, if she answer "shopping" that can be form of lying (by omission) which is still true fact not half truth, since half truth (lie resp) is truth (lie resp).
It's not a law (It should be IMHO), but it's common sense. The exact same thing as being in an escalator in a mall or a subway station, or blocking a door.
I live in quebec and I spend most of my time on the highway cursing ppl like that. I usually don't speed (my comfort speed is around 120Km/h) I rarely stay on the left lane, I go there only to pass and go back to the right. When passing I go above the limit as much as needed to passe (20-30 somtimes 50 --I hate big trucks--) quickly. as the longer I stays there the greater the danger (most ppl don;t check the blind spot)... and I go when I made sure that I'm not cutting anyone on the left lane!
Speed alone doesn't kill. It saved my ass few times b/c others made stupid mistakes!
To serve some agenda laid out by somebody.
If one admits the existence of a creator, one admits that he gave us a brain to use therefor we must use it (to thank him) => science must exist and advance (a sin otherwise). But that doesn't serve the interests of say a king, an emperor or a Pope, Educated people are less controllable.
Now god doesn't exists => no religion => we have science. Either way science and religion (not the dictatorship/thought police imposed any church/religious institution.) are not mutually exclusive. So if you;re not convinced don;t believe and let the others believe, if you are believe and let the others not believe.
In every freaking debate on these subjects one party or the other resort to extreme examples blaming religion or science. Ideas do not commit atrocities... people do.
Why don't you celebrate that sort of diseased thinking by watching a woman get buried to her neck and then stoned to death? Because THAT is the fruit of your belief.
Where is it said that must be done? (in any religion)
wouldn't the said paper ball be sitting right next to the other paper ball (the one the user used to sign your soul away -- the I agree --)? if it's the case if one can find the second the first can too be retrieved...
what you just described is gullibility/stupidity. it's not exclusive to religious people (I may be mistaken there). if that means asshat you're right. I used/understood the word as a synonym of asshole.
That aside (and I'm not a religious person at all), religion is more like not some exhaustive guidelines/basic laws to live with (a little bit like a constitution) what is derived from that is man made (if we accept for the sake of the argument that the said constitution is divine) and therefor may be very subjective and biased to serve some given agenda of the day, be it good or bad (a bit like Constitution / PATRIOT ACT).
A reasonable expectation (as outcome of an event) is not a fact until it really happens as expected (like tossing a coin). Unfortunately you're right, if it goes before a judge it is more likely to go that way. The law is weird.
ToS are one sided and you either agree or you don't. That is if you get a chance to see them at all. Most of the time you need to go out of your way to find them, let alone read them (few pages long), when all you need from a website is tiny bit of information in comparison (a paragraph or tow, even a page). So I wonder how can these things legally binding/enforceable?
the possibility exists that the client is in fact a computer (acting on a directive given by a human) : a web crawler that starts at some point and end up downloading some random link on some web page that the user didn't expect/intend to visit.
in this case you have a machine that did the agreement.
Does old web server software known to be vulnerable count as a sign of negligence?
2. Security is relative. It can always be increased. Criminals have shown they can circumvent almost any security measure. You've cited zero facts to back up your claim that Sony's was negligent.
Given enough time, resources and will, anyone will probably achieve that. Negligence is when you make that an easier task for them.
I have never seen any credible indication anyone besides Sony was harmed by the security breach
You not seeing it doesn't count as proof of non existence. But that aside, I agree with you : no harm no compensation.
not true. I came across a xoom tablet (android 3.0) with no cellular plan (wifi only model) and it had the market place. I've seen galaxy tabs all over the place (android 2.x) with no cell radio and they had the market.
Ok, this is clearly out of subject but. if one can't expect the Patent Examiners (which by the way their job) to look for prior art correctly, how on can expect a programmer to find/know a patent that his work might infringe upon?
I do the same (and it is a power user use case). The GP was saying talking about normal day to day operations (on a desktop) :
XP is bad not only because it's exploitable, but because it's exploited *without the user noticing*.
I was merely arguing that the same could be said about any other OS. If you're not looking/don't know where, the OS you're using is irrelevant, and if someone takes interest in that platform the question isn't if you're going to be infected, it is "when" (it is more of a problem on Microsoft's platform due to it's market share).
The most dangerous thing from a computer security perspective is non educated/gullible users, bugs and exploits if known can be worked around.
Slashdot Mirror
then why was it working on older phones b4 ????
it used to work on 3GS and 4, b4 apple bought it !!!!

Assuming what you said is true , if they told you they're lying what would happen?

McQuown vs. Electronic Arts, for instance.
wouldn't the said paper ball be sitting right next to the other paper ball (the one the user used to sign your soul away -- the I agree --)? if it's the case if one can find the second the first can too be retrieved ...

being atheist or religious has nothing to do with of being an asshat.

"...to exempt violations of ToS and employer policies from the lists of felony activity."
is not?

Where did you get that idea??? there exists a pie named tomato pie and it's absolutely fucking delicous (and it's not a desert).
why not?
that I don't really know as I was never interested in things like that (not even tablets ... I came across them by chance).
Dude, didn't you see : "I will root my devices and uninstall all the garbage."? you only need root to do it !
not true. I came across a xoom tablet (android 3.0) with no cellular plan (wifi only model) and it had the market place. I've seen galaxy tabs all over the place (android 2.x) with no cell radio and they had the market.
actually there is a way to lock it !

If you say so. But that didn't really answer the question I was asking, did it? (the question had a point behind it, and it didn't ask for numbers)
