Payed is a perfectly valid English word. Given the poster is probably German and payed sounds exactly like paid and a spell checker will not flag it up, I would say that was utterly understandable.
They might even have a specific learning disability such as dyslexia and would have little way of catching that other than deploying a grammar checker. Unfortunately open source grammar checkers are very thin on the ground and the whole concept has been destroyed by the junk that Microsoft have been shipping with Office for the past 15 years.
Or someone steals your iPod. How many iPod's get stolen every year? You can get your bottom dollar that this is a none zero number. Someone willing to steal a iPod is likely to have no compunctions about sharing the songs they find on them with others.
The point is that the continued reliable functioning of the computer at the hospital which is infected with a botnet cannot be guaranteed in the first place.
If there are consequences due to the removal/breakup of the botnet that is the fault of the ICT department in the hospital for allowing it's continued existence in the first place, and is genuinely collateral damage.
Put another way would you be happy to undergo a course of radiotherapy, where the treatment plan was devised on a computer that was infected with a botnet? I sure as hell would not. In the long run it is better the machine is dealt with even if it crashes it in the short term.
Where it gets messy is by your book, theft is okay if it is a few hundred years, but not a few decades. That is just an arbitrary line in the sand you are drawing.
Every time I hear a Palestinian going on about their land being stolen all I can think is that it was stolen in the first place.
Until the Palestinian's are able to come to terms with that they will be in a sorry state. Had they accepted that in 1948 life would have been much better in the intervening 60 years. They didn't and started a number of wars in the meantime that meant they lost even more land. Hard to feel sorry really.
Israel has every right in the world to not open it's borders to any other nation if it so chooses.
What gets me is that Hamas goes to the not inconsiderable effort of digging tunnels into Egypt to smuggle stuff in. Does it use these tunnels to ease the conditions for Palestinian people of Gaza or to bring in rockets to lob into Israel?
I would point out that Israel is a small country, something like 50 miles wide at it's widest. So getting everything out the range of a rocket with a 20 mile range is utterly impractical.
Part of the problem is all the legacy, but perfectly good hardware that does not do IP6. Why should I throw out a HP LaserJet 5M+ with only 100,000 pages just because it does not support IP6? The longer we can put off the delay the less of this legacy stuff will be around, and the lower the barrier to the adoption of IP6.
Do you want to explain why HP has two class A IP blocks then? Do you honestly think they need them? Or are they just an historical accident from takeovers and mergers?
If you created a market where some of the large class A networks that where allocated for free many years ago could be broken up and sold off for money then I am sure that companies with excess network allocations would put in the effort to make selling them off a viable proposition.
The basic problem at the moment with IP4 is that there is no market. The problem with IP6 is that there are millions of network devices (think printers, wireless access points, etc.) that don't run IP6 and there is no upgrade path (mostly because the device manufacture is not offering a suitable firmware upgrade). This makes the deployment cost high, very disruptive and difficult to justify.
You need to add in the energy of manufacture as well. It uses many times more energy to manufacture a CFL than an incandescent. The CFL's also tend to be made in horribly inefficient Chinese manufacturing plants.
Depending where you live you also need to think about the overall energy efficiency of your house. I live in northern Europe, Scotland to be precise. My house has central heating which is thermostatically controlled.
I use electric lights generally when it is dark, which tends to happen much more in the winter than summer, when it also tends to be colder. The main inefficiency of a incandescent is the heat produced.
Therefore for much of the year if I switch to CFL all I do is make my central heating work harder.
For me it is very unlikely that CFL's are better for the environment over incandescents. Add in the general horrible warm up times to full brightness and the fact they are not suited to being switched on and off a lot then you can see why I might well be staying with incandescents.
That must be in the USA, cause here in the UK a typical fuse for a domestic property is 80A, with a 240V AC supply.
There will be millions of properties in the UK with a 40A or higher rated shower circuit, and all cooker circuits are rated at 32A.
A commercial property will most likely have a three phase 415V supply, that can deliver a lot more juice. Note that domestic properties are feed from a three phase supply, with each property getting it's supply from across two phases, changing in sequence as you go down the street. It would not be beyond the bounds of possibility to bring three phase into homes for charging up your car.
Which Catholic church is that then? The term Catholic has a rich and varied meaning in Christianity, and by itself does not define very much. For example the Russian Orthodox church considers itself a Catholic church. Even the Church of England considers itself to be a Catholic church.
I suspect that you mean Roman Catholic, but if that is what you mean you need to explicitly state it, because the vast majority of Christian church's consider themselves to be Catholic.
This is performance copyright, which is 50 years from date of publishing, and is separate
The thing that gauls me is that the audio books that I purchased where the actual book is out of copyright (for example Great Expectations), but the recording of the book is not. However when I purchased the book I had an expectation that during my lifetime the copyright in the recording would expire, and I would be free to do whatever I wanted with the audiobook. This is a factor when I purchase audiobooks.
A change to the law to extend that copyright, is retrospectively changing the value of the purchase to me. That is morally wrong.
I have been running it since well, when it became available for Linux and I had to hand patch and compile my own kernel. Not once have I had any file system corruption in the intervening years. Well apart from when a disk developed bad sectors, but that is hardly the fault of XFS...
Some time ago (I forget when) I did have a few files truncated to zero on a kernel panic usually a failed restore, and usually my bookmarks. Not had that in six or seven years now though.
They have even fixed the issue where you needed scads of RAM to check a large file system. My only beef with XFS is that you cannot size it smaller.

I have a chance against someone with a knife, with a gun I have almost none unless I also have a gun. Pretty much sums it up. The problem with the gun lobby is like SUV drivers, they feel safer despite every statistic available showing they are in fact less safe.
Crazy thing is that is about what it cost me to get an XO into the UK last year. However to do so I had to sign up with a reshipping company, had to pay two lots of shipping (one to the reshipping company in the USA and then to the UK), import duty, and other associated fees.
It is the most rugged laptop I have used since a Toshiba T1900, however it has been crippled by having a stupid x86 processor in it. It should have been built with an ARM, for my speed and better battery life.
They might not, but this follows out of English Common law, which all most all ex. empire countries use (New Zealand being the obviously different one).
Heck even the USA follows English Common law and they left some 230+ years ago in a revolution.
Yeah, but the problem is the indeterminate period of time before the first day.
The modern science equivalent would be what existed before the big bang?
My big problem with all this is that if their reading comprehension fails then so abysmally on such a simple passage, how on earth can they expect me to take anything else they claim the bible says as accurate?
Of course any reasonable rational person cannot.
Don't get me started on the abortion is murder thing either, as the bible is clear that it ain't if you have functioning reading comprehension.
I know all that, but the point is that we based on Genesis we cannot take this and work out an age of the earth. Which is what a lot of religious nuts claim.
Er, the chances of individual atoms spontaneously combining to form complex molecules is close to none existent.
So take dioxin's which are a mixture of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Heat this to 6000 Celcius and all the chemical bonds are broken apart, leaving just individual carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Let it cool down to room temperature any you will end up with a mixture of mainly CO2 and H2O, and probably some CO as well depending on how much Oxygen is available during the cooling process.
Obviously it is more complicated with additional chemical elements in the mix, but you are not going to get complex molecules forming from the cooled plasma.
In the mean time you have released the energy from complex chemical bonds which you can then extract for electrical generation.

He's in education in the UK. A select license for Windows 2008 Server is under 100GBP if his institution has a decent procurement department.
I see bigger differences than that depending on which server vendor is your favorite this week.
The should all take an oplock on it, read it once and then cache the result.

It's English and it is a ps, so the p is silent and it pronounced "sion"
Of course I remember Psion when they where producing games for Sinclair Research machines.
As long as they don't try and get out they will be fine. You can pass a million volts through my car whilst I am inside for all I care.
