The act of "braking someone out", meaning pointlessly braking in front of someone, is in some European countries a traffic offence. If an accident occurrs because of that, the driver of that vehicle can be made partly or completely responsible for the accident.
What will the effect be on penguins that run into the brine from the desalination plant? I fear it would be deadly for the poor little critters. What's worse, making the people drink bottled water until it rains, or killing penguins?
I consider this to be medical practice, not the body. My girlfriend wanted to give birth at home here in Vienna to avoid all of the clinical procedures that are forced upon women in hospitals. We had to go to hospital because the baby was "too big". The hospital staff did nothing to assist a natural birth and gave us no information before just doing their clinical procedures. Through the withholding of information and passiveness and unwillingness to support a natural birth, the hospital succeeded in forcing a cesarian. As we later discovered from an experienced , a natural birth would most likely have been possible with some exercises during labour and crouching instead of lying. The medical profession makes itself more and more important by withholding information, taking the decision making power away from the patient and forcing a much more clinical event than a natural event.
Of the $30,000, $5,000 is for automation and gadgets many people don't want.
Time should also be factored in. It takes me twice as long to get to work on public transport as it does with a car. My time costs $60 per hour. A one way trip to work more than compensates the $23.13 daily cost of a car.
It's the tip of the iceberg, the thin wedge that allows them to start down this customer hostile road. Soon that 5% will be 6, then 8, then 10, then 25, then ???
Verizon seems unable to fulfill their contractual requirements to customers, so they have sold something they don't have. I hope the throttled customers sue!
As an Australian, I am delighted with the decision of the Government. The carbon taxes are nothing more than a means for beating the drum of how much the "environmentally friendly" country has reduced it's emissions through the moving of high emission productions to poorer countries with few or no environmental protection laws or enforcement then importing those products with transport emissions which don't count to the emission output of the rich country. How should that help the global environment?
As for joe average installing alternative energy technologies in his house, the law dictates that every new house and every bought house must have a solar hot water system installed. The excessively cost of electricity in Australia is not justifiable, so joe average has no choice if he wants to keep his costs tolerable.
When the jars are dumped, they become "ownerless". They could be carefully deposited at the landfill then claimed by a charity group and transported away without breaking a single jar.
Similar idea, get your number converted to a very expensive toll number and keep them on the phone for as long as possible. For as long as they don't work out what they are paying for, you make lots of money at their expense.
Get yourself a secret mobile number that you give only to your friends.
The article says that human drivers "accelerated and braked significantly more sharply" than when the google computer drove. So they took someone who needs to get to the next red light as soon as possible rather than a calm and patient driver. The results can be easily manipulated, and most probably have been.
In 1981 the US debt was 0.9 trillion, in 2013 it tops 16.7 trillion. Nothing that the US government has done over the last 30 years makes "financial sense".
The GNOME party, just like the Green parties of the world, decides for you what you like and want based on your intelligence judged by them without them ever having communicated with you. It's this eternal paternalism that buggers everything up.
That's the difference between Germany and America, Germans can actually drive a car instead of just pointing it in the right direction and hoping nothing goes wrong.
Recent studies in Germany (if I remember correctly) have shown that GM crops alter the ground in which they are planted. They harm the organisms in the soil quite badly and significantly and irrepairably alter the microbiological balance in the soil. The long term fertility of the soil is also harmed.
So maybe your gentech produces a short term gain. The long term, which we are yet to see, promises to be quite ugly. In the meantime, the corporate execs have their money and have run away.
> The assertion that Oracle no longer allows you to download and use Solaris 10 for free is completely FALSE
Read the licence agreement! "Please remember, your right to use Solaris acquired as a download is limited to a trial of 90 days, unless you acquire a service contract for the downloaded Software."
I'm a long time user of Sun Microsystems and the products they made. I first had contact with Sun's products at university in 1990, but never really had the chance to work with them until 2004. Then I got a Sun machine, a blade 100, at home, and I was able to download Solaris 10 and install and use it. I could see how it worked, learned about it, and began telling my employer, and IBM stronghold, how great it was and what I could do with Sun and Solaris.
I got ridiculed, jokes made at me, but I perservered. I was able to convince them to take two Sun V440 servers to replace their failing web server. The success was huge, stability and availability of the web service under Solaris and my administration really got noticed. Despite the success, I still had to suffer massive amounts of jokes about Sun, Solaris, and their products, and anything that spoke out against the holy IBM was of the devil, especially me and the servers I administered. Still, I perservered, and I showed them what was possible. Through my dedication, my withstanding the jokes and straight out attacks against me and Sun/Solaris, and the ability and experience from trying things out on my expanding personal Sun server infrastructure at home, I convinced them to buy in total 28 Sun servers. The success with those was huge too, they worked and were reliable.
At home I had a growing collection of Sun hardware, small used machines (V100's, V210's, Blade 2500's, S1 storage array) with Solais 10, and I was very happy with them. I was able to get the OS, and the critical patches to keep my personal systems happy, it worked as I wanted it.
Now Oracle bought Sun, and promptly changed all the access rules. Suddenly I need a support contract to run my Sun's and Solaris at home. Suddenly I need a support contract to get firmware updates. Suddenly I need a support contract to get access to information, and all the things I previously had free access to, the things which let me show my employer what great products Sun has and what they could do for them.
My employer bought 28 Sun Microsystems servers because of me. Sun was very grateful for what I did, and they showed it. They helped me get a cluster course when my employer didn't want to give me one, they gave small presents like Sun coffee cups, simple "thank you"'s from our Sun rep. and support with information that helped me a lot. I felt good with Sun, I was happy with them, really happy!
How does Oracle thank me? By shutting me out of everything, no information, no updates, no access to anything. If I want something then I have to cough up lots of money. They have completely left me out in the cold with my hardware investments at home. In short, Oracle doesn't care about me, unless I have a fat bank account that is.
Oracle has betrayed me badly. They've betrayed loyal Sun customers. They've betrayed the people who supported Sun through thick and thin.
They're insulting us every step of the way. I'm sure more will come too. Oracles handling of us is a good way to make sure my employer won't buy anything more from them in the future, and migrate away from Solaris to other solutions. They have already made the right moves to make me and others I know recommend against Sun and Oracle solutions, and every change they make reinforces this decision. Oracle wont wake up to the damage they're doing until it's too late, far too late...

Why build more nuclear plants? Just go off-grid and be self sufficient. Beats more nuclear any day!

and as the Australian Government is little more than a puppet of corporate Australia, eliminating competition is easy.

People should learn how to drive, and be patient. The number of idiots on the road are the real reason for autonomous cars.

My browser is "Unsupported". So I guess according to this tool, the exploits must be unsupported in my browser too!

Oh dear, then maybe he will believe in one of the religions in the axis of evil, and want to kill everyone in the west.
Or maybe another version of him somewhere will believe in some western religion, and want to kill everyone in the axis of evil.
I see the start of Terminator here...

Read the licence agreement! "Please remember, your right to use Solaris acquired as a download is limited to a trial of 90 days, unless you acquire a service contract for the downloaded Software."
The changes that Oracle made to the licence agreement are best highlighted at http://www.cuddletech.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=1120
Solaris under Sun had a chance. Solaris under Oracle will fade away to some unknown unimportant Oracle byproduct.
Let me guess - He let the cat out of the bag when he shouldn't have and tried to hide his tracks by deleting the entry.
