Recall he put in the names of friends with false details. Those are not FACTS, they are FICTION and therefore under copyright, which Google is now violating on a massive scale.
Well, unfortunately this didn't work for Fred Worth with a fake trivia question/answer that was copied by Trivial Pursuit:
One of the questions in Trivial Pursuit was "What was Columbo's first name?" with the answer "Philip". That information had been fabricated to catch anyone who might try to violate his copyright. The inventors of Trivial Pursuit acknowledged that Worth's books were among their sources, but argued that this was not improper and that facts are not protected by copyright. The district court judge agreed, ruling in favor of the Trivial Pursuit inventors.
Something which controls heading and speed but which does not take complete responsibility for the vehicle. And do you know what we call a device like that? We call it an autopilot. [...] Buy a fucking dictionary, and spend some time with it.
Not in Economy on any of the international flights I've been on.
A number of airlines actually do have limited in-flight power in economy these days, such as Delta and Continental. A good website for finding out which airlines have this feature on which equipment is SeatGuru.
United states has one of the highest infant mortality rate in the world
You may want to check some actual facts. As of 2009, the US was 46th out of 224. This definitely isn't something to brag about, but it's nowhere near the "highest". It's not even 3x the lowest...
In California, you cannot sell excess power to the local utility. In other words, you can't do better than a zero dollar bill--if you're a consumer. I can sell power to the utility, but only if the net result over a year is zero.
My main question is who can modify the source of the software they're using, and how are they verifying that the binaries are unmodified.
I realize this is slashdot, so I shouldn't have read the article, but...
All political parties have access to the source code, and digitally sign the executable code, and thus can confirm, at any individual machine, that the running software is the official one.
Looks like only California is out of time, for now. From the article:
Indeed, time already has stopped in 48 other states, he said. California and Nevada are the two remaining holdouts. [...] Time's up statewide Sept. 19. Britton said Nevada service would live on borrowed time for an unspecified period, until the equipment in that state similarly starts breaking down.
Well, any merchant knows that it is the merchant that pays for fraudulent and otherwise disputed charges.
To lump all merchants together oversimplifies the situation. Retailers who wish to accept credit cards must open a merchant account with a bank, and it is the terms of that merchant account which dictate what happens in cases of fraud and chargebacks. These terms can and do vary from merchant to merchant, which is why some places (Starbucks, Chipotle, etc) can accept credit charges under a given value with no signature at all.
with a checking account that has a Visa/MC debit card linked to it
My personal favorite is to use a virtual credit card number provided by my bank (but which still bills to my existing account). I can set a dollar and/or time limit on the validity of the number, and the number can only ever be used by a single merchant account. If the number is ever compromised, the thief could only ever use it at the same merchant, and only if I set the maximum value significantly higher than my purchase price.

From the summary, at least, it sure doesn't seem like this guy knows what he's talking about:
Padding the schedule, alone, clearly can't change the amount of fuel that is used to get from point A to point B.
I know the twin cities have had Prime Now alcohol delivery for over a year now. I wonder how many of the other markets are actually new?
Well, unfortunately this didn't work for Fred Worth with a fake trivia question/answer that was copied by Trivial Pursuit:
So it's working then?
I will if you will. Let's try Merriam-Webster:
Or, we could look at Wiktionary:
It's Comcastic!
Obligatory xkcd.
However, the information I can find online seems to contradict this statement. For example, this FAQ:

If you have adblock plus installed (and you should, really), this filter will take care of the problem:
This model has worked well for cheat offsets, too.
If you still need a cable to connect your video sources, what's the point?
False. According to his one-month update:
Also, yes.

Here's a good list of people to start sending C&D's to. There's almost 150,000 images there, so that ought to keep you busy for a while.
So, is a fiscal year a different period of time than a "regular" year?
Now they can get to work on an antivirus for the food they sell!

And that's why Google will unveil gbay next!
Either this is a very weak attempt at a troll, or an incredible demonstration of ignorance.
Here at slashdot, we just call this phenomenon a comment.
