Unqualified ratings systems are painfully limited whether they are stars or thumbs. Context is needed to know *why* people liked or disliked something. I can read reviews to get a small sample of this (assuming people have taken the time to write good reviews), but letting users tag content allows us find stuff we like so much more effectively. Tags for sub-genre, themes, memes, good acting, bad SFX or anything else people might be looking for. I wish Amazon would do the same for books too.
Surround people with tons of information and see how much & what type they remember.
We are bombarded with so much information that we are all trained to ignore the vast majority of it just to function; I'd be interested in seeing how our brains decide what to ignore.
Trump isn't the Secretary of State and don't handle classifieds documents.
UNDERSTOOD ?
No, he's just a billionaire businessman with insecure email. What could go wrong?
I'm not claiming he's mishandled classified data. I am claiming he's stupid and hypocritical.
Because if they were, they would be fighting nail and tooth to get the 0.01% off the force and behind bars, where they belong.
As things are, there are three kinds of cops:
1. Dirty
2. Complicit
3. On the way out
You've just demonstrated that "for every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong." Cynicism without realism is not productive.
1) Changing entrenched bureaucracies is hard and takes time no matter how good a person you are.
2) Most dirty cops are unlikely to announce their corruption.
3) Innocent until proven guilty applies to cops also and that makes obtaining convictions hard.
Yes, there are corrupt and complicit cops who need to be brought down. But there are good ones that will act to clean up the police force where they can. Those good cops are limited by law in what they can do to reduce corruption just as they are limited in how they can deal with any other crime. This is as it should be; we have rights for a reason.
This is speculation not science or analysis. It's not much different than people who lived centuries ago speculating about the nature of gods without any real evidence.
For those who didn't read the linked decision: 'direct detection “involves connecting to a peer . . . and
then exchanging data with that peer,” indirect detection “relies on the set of peers
returned by the coordinating tracker [of a BitTorrent swarm] only, [and] treating this
list as authoritative as to whether or not IPs are actually exchanging data within the
swarm.”'
Yesterday my Windows 10 machine installed updates that caused the BIOS RAID setting for my boot drive to be disabled. "Error loading operating system" GG
I found an 8 year-old article (http://perimetergrid.com/wp/2008/01/11/wpad-internet-explorers-worst-feature/) about this and how to disable it with a simple Google search. I'm still glad Slashdot posted about it today because I would never have realized it was a problem. How has this vulnerability existed for almost a decade without being rectified?
In the vast majority of cases an ambulance is faster (and safer) getting to you than you are getting to the hospital and they can give you some treatment on the spot.
Source? A brief google search indicates that ambulance response times vary widely from place to place based on a variety of factors. I didn't find any recent sources specific to Springfield, MO.
Twenty miles on a freeway is typically less than 20 minutes barring traffic. Do Springfield's ambulances typically respond faster than that? Was traffic a factor? How much would traffic impact the ambulance? How fast does the autopilot feature drive?
They should have involved a publicist and some good teachers and kept the name. Imagine using a research vessel named Boaty McBoatface to get school kids interested in science. Such a wasted opportunity.
That is overly simplistic. Or would you care to explain the founder's original intent regarding the internet? Our interpretation of the constitution evolves because circumstances have changed beyond anything the writers could have imagined. The internet is only one example.
Consumer's Use Tax: Did you purchase merchandise by Internet, telephone, or mail, or did you purchase
any merchandise outside Virginia and pay no sales tax? If so, you may be required to pay Consumer's Use
Tax. Be sure to report the applicable tax on Schedule ADJ.
The difference: this tax is paid yearly by the consumer rather than automatically collected by the vendor at point-of-sale.
1) Violating an identity theft law by "being in possession of the e-mails." With no evidence that he planned to misuse the information.
2) Violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse act via "unauthorized access to a computer". Even though the information was publicly available on AT&T's website (not behind any kind of protection, not even a password).
I almost hope he's convicted on the latter charge; the publicity that will generate may lead to sane revision of these laws.
Even with the faulty logic and extra dipping, the fine is low compared to similar cases in the US.
It's actually low enough that a normal person could pay it without going bankrupt....

Fixed.

...the old media companies could have avoided all of this if their demands weren't so unreasonable.
What's unreasonable about saying "give me billions of dollars"? It always sounds good when I say it....

Property taxes have to be paid by the owner, right?

I'm not generally a grammar nazi, but seeing a Trump supporter post like this is pretty damn funny.

Also, not a Hillary fan.
It's not like Democrats need politically motivated charges to destroy his campaign, he's doing an excellent job of that on his own.
No, they are not.

Does that sound like a place you'd want to live? Think it through.

Everything on that list requires them. Can you imagine an iPhone made with vacuum tubes?
This is a sad commentary on how abuse of US patent and copyright law has flourished.

The Company owns the food, the clothes, the housing, the air itself... and you.
Feeling suicidal? There are helpful and caring communities on the web who... are blocked.
Theoretically this shouldn't happen, but it will. And I'd bet getting your website unblocked will be hard.
Or use mnemonics composed of several words.
