I have no clue if there's any real danger of superbugs from cows on a farm infecting humans in a hospital. Maybe the FDA knows.
Whether or not it knows, could you found out form an FOIA request? I am in New Zealand so I have no idea how easy it is to get information from and FOIA request. The New Zealand equivalent OIA request has strict timelines for any kind of response and strict guidelines for reasons for a rejecting the supply of information.
Actually, no in EU, privacy and freedom of speech are prima facie equal. Then the circumstances are considered in the balancing exercise. See von Hannover v Germany
Arora (QT) or Midori (GTk). Both are light weight, Webkit and open source (if those things matters to you), Linux and Windows (wasn't clear from your situation) and both have binaries ready to go and are actively developed. I am much happier about these than the 'big three' (or big two on Linux).
My preference is Arora but the binaries are a bit dated so I am compiling. That probably is not an option for you. Midori is updated more often.
Dillo is another option but that's pretty minimalist.
Well thats interesting that Easter Monday gets moved rather than ANZAC day. New Zealand has been in debate over whether to 'Mondayise' (observed holiday in any other English speaking culture with a decent vocabulary) ANZAC Day and Waitangi Day if they fall on a weekend, and in this case coinciding with Easter. One of the arguments was that Australia observes the holiday.
Problem is though, even in well educated New Zealand, you'd be hard pressed to find many people that know on what day ANZAC Day or Waitangi Day falls...that is until the 'holiday' gets taken away from them.
With the exception to gas stations and convenience stores, laws in New Zealand either require or make it uneconomical to operate on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
It's bedlam in New Zealand at Easter. Going to the supermarket on the Thursday before Good Friday is like feeding time at the zoo. Then there is the small opportunity to on Easter Saturday to do some shopping again before closing on Easter Sunday, but again, it's chaos!
And don't get people started about Easter Monday which happens to fall on ANZAC Day day this year and shops cannot open until midday on ANZAC Day. (The unrelated complaint among so-called intelligence New Zealanders is that ANZAC Day is not observered on the following weekeday because of this conincidence).
Given the inconvenience at Easter time particularly this year, I can see why people too the opportunity to go to the supermarket when it opened accdientally. As for the non-payment, those people are stupid to think there is no CCTV footage of them strolling out the door without paying.
This is coming from the woman that told the media that her chances of winning a by-election were slim. This was weeks out from the election. And she didn't win.
Is it any surprise that the politicians do not understand the proximate or remote the file might go?
Truth is a defence against defamation tort, however truth might be the very thing that a plaintiff wants to protect from the tort of a breach of privacy. Maybe the real question is whether the fact a fraudulent (thus criminal) activities can be protected by the privacy torts in civil cases.
We Australians pay way too much for cds. $30~ for a new cd?
Actually, in New Zealand, the prices have been around price point in NZD (about US$24 at current exchange rates) that since CDs first came out in the eighties. If not for that long, that has been the price for new CDs for the past 20 years (about US$15 at exchangerates back then), and purchasing power of money has improved during that time.
I only insist on buying front loader washing machines because the absence of an agitator means there is less wear and tear on clothes. (Plus you can stuff way more clothes in it, cleaner wash and more power and water efficient).
One of the talk-back radio stations in New Zealand said much the same thing, that these file were classified not because of any grand conspiracy to hide anything but to avoid embarrassing the people involved. Before the politically correct culture invaded, New Zealanders were quite blunt in what they said.
Ah but that's about MeeGo on a Nokia being a 'no go' because Maemo is uh...a 'go'... Where as I am talking about MeeGo on a Nokia being a NoGo or was that a no go... uh what was I talking about again?
If aliens came to take over the Earth and thought all they had to do is conquer the human race, well then they have another thing coming when they discover cats.
"Before prosecuting", you need to have a prima facie case there was criminal intent, that is different to proving it. "Proving criminal intent" (of which there are various levels of mens rea on the other hand is always necessary to for determining criminal liability (except strict and absolute liability)
"The entire point of patents is to add to public knowledge, but that isn't happening."
Only in the most roundabout way.
I am quite sure patent comes from the Latin, patere meaning open. That being the case, the meaning of patent really has been bastardised. I onder where this leaves software patents if they are not open source then...
Though this may be about patents, this is also about whom has the responsibility of safety. Its dangerous to put the responsibility of safety in technology and not on the operator. Technology will fail and people need to know how to react when that happens. In this case, sure Ryobi can get a licence to use the technology but it but the operator should just have been more careful.

Did you perhaps mean paralyzed? Or did I miss some new internet meme where people want statues of Ms Portman?
How did a six digit Slashdot user fail at recognising a petrified Natalie Portman meme?
There's no combat wing, we still have choppers and transport aircraft. The air force are essentially civilians.
Good job this was classified!

Ah but that's about MeeGo on a Nokia being a 'no go' because Maemo is uh...a 'go'... Where as I am talking about MeeGo on a Nokia being a NoGo or was that a no go... uh what was I talking about again?
So does that make the Nokia-MeeGo combination a NoGo? I don't like the sound of that!

As Linus has said before 'Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it'
I too wondered why it was called to account to the FCC and not the FTC. Seems it missed every over reply so far as well.
