False. Illegal portions of the contract are not enforceable, and you simply are NOT required to do those parts.
Not where I'm from (BC, Canada). Here, if part of a contract would require 1 or more parties to commit a crime to fulfill the obligations of the contract, the contract is considered completely null.
That is why most contracts have clauses at the end that stipulate "The restrictions above are enforceable to the greatest extent of the law except in such jurisdictions where such enforcement is not possible, in which case such restrictions do not apply." (or something like that). Basically, they are saying they are exempting you from anything they've stated that they can't legally require, which makes a nice little loop-hole so you can't nullify the entire agreement.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, but have taken a couple of contract and business law classes.
Wouldn't there be issues if 2 machines who's IP's only different in the borrowed port bits were physically distant from each other? I can see the core routers having issues with the same "IP" (the original IP part) being in 2 countries at once. Unless they were going to restrict the IP's that differ by port only to be on the same local network, but then you may as well just use a NAT with forwarded port ranges...
(And if you had read TFA, you'll find they are drawing down the reservoir behind the dam, to relieve the pressure.)
Hate to burst your bubble, but that was in the *summary* and it's actually to allow better access to assess the situation. My guess is the will wait until after the assessment to raise the water level back up.
It's almost certain that the foundation on the west end of the dam had already been fatally compromised and the cracks were a symptom of the impending failure rather than the cause.
Could the same not be true in this case as well? Even if the dam is irreparably damaged, this will at least hopefully give enough warning to relieve the pressure or in the worst case scenario, evacuate the immediate down-stream area.
Reading the title and summary made me think they were talking about whole foods as in whole-grain foods. It would have been helpful if the summary stated that it was the name of a store.
If he were real, it wouldn't exactly be difficult for an all-powerful being to prove it. Stating that we will never know is either a statement that you believe he does not exist, or that he is not willing to prove it.
Yes, that would have been a very good message to give, had they listed ANY reputable companies as alternatives. This article gives practically no information. Other than photo captions, the slashdot "summary" is actually LONGER than the entire article.
This is nothing more than a heart-string sensationalist article to up their viewership. Had the author actually cared about these people they would have listed the companies responsible for this crap, and the reputable companies that actually recycle the materials properly instead of literally putting the people on little monitor-soapboxes (yes literally, check out the photos) and adding sad captions like some twisted version of lolcats.
See IPv6's capability to have addresses made of letters, and push it a little further?
You mean hex? That's just the way you type it, it has NOTHING to do with the actual packets. For instance, slashdot's IP (216.34.181.45) could just as easily be written as "d8.22.b5.2d", or even "d822:b52d".
We just switched from decimal to hexidecimal for IPv6 notation because the addresses are so much longer now (IPv4 is up to 15 characters in decimal, IPv6 would be up to 63 characters if we used decimal (only 39 in quad-character hex).
It's more like, "When my family switched from Verizon[1] to AT&T[1], they stopped calling me, but I don't want to switch to AT&T[1] because they tap my phone and are all-around douchebags. By not getting an AT&T[1] phone, I've shut myself out". Luckily the government mandates that they be compatible, unlike Facebook which can do whatever the hell it wants[2].
[1] I have no direct opinion of either Verizon or AT&T in this respect and the use of their names was simply because they were the first 2 well-known operators that came to mind.
[2] I do not believe that Facebook should be restricted in what it can and cannot do (at least as far as compatibility goes), I'm just trying to illustrate the difference between a website and a phone system.
From the stories I've heard from people that have dealt with psychologists (particularly assigned ones), is that they tend to be fairly dismissive an uncaring in general. Your experience may have been more because it was a psychologist than them being with VA.
I wasn't trying to say that photo editors are the only thing that aren't worth using on a phone, but that there are still MANY, MANY desktop applications that would work very well on a phone. MPD clients, remote torrent front-ends, little utilities you've written over the years, simple GTK/QT games, etc would all be nice to play on a phone as *native* applications instead of having to play shitty JAVA recreations.
They've done it again with the windows 8 tablets. My sister has a Windows 8 (RT) tablet and you can't even *install* 3rd party browsers, let alone replace IE.
Until we have completely ubiquitous transportation, either by public transit or autonomous cars, driving needs to be a right.
NO, absolutely not. There are definitely people that should not be allowed to drive. If you are incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely (either due to medical issues or a simple disregard for the safety of others), it is YOUR problem to find a place to live/work where you can get back and forth without driving (carpool is also an option).
In most countries, you do not own the code you write if you are writing it under contract or through employment. It's not really a novel thing. For instance, builders don't own the house they build, their employer/client does (assuming they pay them).
Agreed regarding the PS3. The only ads I ever see are in the "what's new" area (what else would you put there?) and the store. Also, they are limited to adds about games that you can buy, so it's not like I'm seeing Burger King ads or something.
I thought most of the electric muscles worked by having the electricity heat part of the alloy? Sounds like the same mechanism, they just need to find an easy way to do the heating outside of a lab (muscles sealed in a tube of fluid may work).
right, ported. Just about every application needs to be ported, custmized and tweeked for hours before it will even *run* on Android. I want a phone where I can take (arguably small) applications from my desktop and just fucking run them without jumping through a week's worth of hoops to do it. There is a big difference between "possible" and "not a pain in the ass".
ssh + terminal does not make something a very usefull Linux device. There's also the matter of there being no X server, gnu libraries, repository (java app store doesn't count), or any simple way of adding the above.
I've never seen anyone get anything resembling a repository working on an android device that would allow the installation of native code (read: not the java BS the "apps" have to use).
With then n900 you can run GTK, QT and (I believe) TK natively without needing to use an entire debian chroot to do it.

How many contracts do you seriously think are written by a single person?

Hmm, that's O(n).
Bah, you just need a bigger shredder!
Wow, that would have definitely fucked with legacy gear!

It's not RUNNING by default, it's in the default repositories.
