Spelling nazi aside, where is it that you're from where you use don't use 1 as the statistical unit of measurement for counting votes? I guess you could have 73-72, and divide by 5, but that's still a 1 unit deviation. 1/29 does carry more weight than 1/145, but either way, both are quite close. Although I'm not sure what statistical unit you were using in "14.6-14.4," but compared with "15-14," one vote is the most minimal statistical unit that can be used to express the data. The usage of staggeringly seems appropriate.
Also, for the record, I've set this up for clients for self-hosted project space, and I use it for my personal projects as well. It's installation procedure may seem a bit clunky, but it does the job well and is easily extendable. I continue to recommend it, it's excellent software and it's only getting better.
Define "server." Software? Hardware? I think that clause of the ToS is bullshit, and here's why.
If running a "server" is a violation of a ToS, then every single person that has file-sharing enabled on their Windows computer at home is liable to be disconnected. In fact, anybody that has an xbox or a media center PC is likely in violation of this clause, too. I think that the amount of bandwidth he was using was massively unreasonable, but seriously, if you're going to terminate someone, AT LEAST CALL IT WHAT IT IS. Just put a clause into the residential ToS that states that anything beyond 25-50TB in a month is unreasonable and grounds for termination. Ugh.
I’m a constituent calling on you to reform the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 U.S.C. 1030. This law contains vague language that broadly criminalizes accessing a computer "without authorization," carries heavy-handed penalties, and shows no regard for whether an act was done to further the public good. We saw how these laws could be abused in the case of Aaron Swartz, a recently-deceased 26-year-old coder and social activist who was hounded by the Justice Department in a relentless and unjust felony prosecution.
The CFAA needs three critical fixes: first, terms of service violations must not be considered crimes. Second, if a user is allowed to access information, it should not be a crime to access that data in a new or innovative way -- which means commonplace computing techniques that protect privacy or help test security cannot be illegal. And finally, penalties must be made proportionate to offenses: minor violations should be met with minor penalties.
While it is too late to intervene on behalf of Aaron, it’s not too late to ensure that this harm is not done to future social justice activists and security researchers. Please hold a Congressional hearing to examine the ongoing abuses of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and similar laws, and champion reform so that the potential punishments fit the crimes.
Take the time to add a note to the end of the boilerplate about how you WILL NOT vote for them if they don't act.
Senators and Representatives, even somebody like me who doesn't follow all things politics-related can still see how you vote and how well you represent my interests via http://www.opencongress.org/ , at the very least. Just remember, we are watching.
It'll never happen. Not in the next 20 years, at least.
One particular problem I see is viewing multiple documents in a workspace simultaneously (e.g. a mosiac of paperwork on one's desk) without requiring an iPad per document or a smartboard built into the top of your desk.
And, besides that, I find writing, with a pen, to be much more enjoyable than typing.
And much more productive while recording brainstorming sessions.
The types of hantavirus that cause HPS in the United States cannot be transmitted from one person to another. For example, you cannot get the virus from touching or kissing a person who has HPS or from a health care worker who has treated someone with the disease. You also cannot get the virus from a blood transfusion in which the blood came from a person who became ill with HPS and survived.
It seems like this is about as isolated of an incident as it can be. It's not contagious, and that's key.

Bwahahaha.
Well, I'm not a scientist in this field of study, but I wouldn't be surprised if these helped that process along.
Break ice into smaller pieces (e.g. cut huge swaths of it in half and so on), and it'll melt faster.
Same way you cut a stick of butter into smaller pieces before melting it down when cooking
Ghostery and Adblock FTW.
You are shocked, shocked to know that patents are being used anti-competitively in a court of law.
Don't you tell me what to think now, too.
You can't tax what you can't see.

Seriously, check it out: http://gitlab.org/
Where exactly did the submission say this was for open source software? Company implies private source to me, but maybe that's just me.
Anyway, something worthy of moderation would be http://gitlab.org/
It is not so much the climate change, but the mass production from genetically manipulated plants.
So.. blame Monsanto? ^_^
One Raging Asshole Called Larry Ellison.
Lehk228 had it spot on. They tried to get away with it, and failed. Unfortunately, they usually get away with it.
Fuck Oracle.
If that was caused my industrial pollution in the U.S. 30-odd years ago, what can we expect from the pollution China is dishing out?

Mainstream is also becoming more acquainted with the absolute lack of privacy you are granted when using Google products.
And, more importantly, they're beginning to understand what that lack of privacy means.
An omnipotent device made by a company that makes $$$ analyzing your personal information? No thanks.
Driver issue or a hardware issue? I always remember my ZIP hardware being solid as a rock.
level of restraint on the submitter
Found your problem!
And how exactly do they plan to accomplish this? Technical explanation required.
Technically illiterate people shouldn't make policy decisions regarding technology.
Yes, we can probably be assured it's just the usual semi-innocent profit-seeking capitalism encourages us to partake in.
I do find it amusing they chose to single out Google, though. It's really the pot calling the kettle black, although time-lapsed by a decade or so.
Personally, I think they should have targeted Apple if they were going for the "Hail Mary" approach to deal with their own unpopularity.

I can't believe they arrested her, though.
Was that really the only resolution? Or was it just the most convenient?
Something you need to ask yourselves.
Dear god, mate, listen to yourself. At most, it could only be construed as manslaughter, not murder.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? You act like the teen intentionally tried to kill her parents.
It'll never happen. Not in the next 20 years, at least.

Joe Biden and Paul Ryan speaking in the same room? Yeah, I'd rather not.
If that was the case, they would put dislike buttons on everything and charge page owners $$$ to remove them.
