I think that using a search engine to research methods of breaking someone's neck and water levels in nearby lakes is evidence that should be available to officers trying to find out who broke someone's neck and dumped them in a lake.
What if there are no suspects in the case? Should the police be able to subpoena Google for a list of all searches from all IP addresses used in the area with search terms related to water levels and/or breaking someone's neck?
I'm going to patent idiocy, stupidity, and retardation. USPTO will owe me billions! Bwahahahahaha....
if you refine that to be idiocy, stupidity, and retardicity, I think you'll have a good chance at getting that patent. They award patents based on rhyme, not reason, right?
Virtual Earth can zoom in further than Google Maps too.
My issues with Virtual Earth though, are: 1. At least in Firefox on my machine, many satellite/map tiles fail to load. That's very annoying. Grab/dragging the map helps with some but not all of the tiles. 2. The satellite images and street maps don't line up nicely. Way worse than Google's, at least in the areas I've browsed.
"We have $30 million in unfunded retirement liabilities. We need the money."
Wouldn't it be nice if government considered things like this before they promised the money to someone else? Good thing the city didn't promise the money to loan sharks. Or maybe by the tone of that statement, they actually did...
The robot was used for instruction for surgeons and anaesthesiologists.
"Excuse me, Doctor, but I think you meant to clamp here, and clip there. There you go, now you got it. Oh, by the way, tell the anaesthesiologist that I could really use some more anaethesia. Other than that, doing good."
He's just another F'ing "I want cheap labor at the expense of American workers" prick.
Well I would have put it a little nicer, but that's not a bad description of it.
There's a shortage of workers. And a high demand for those workers, so you've gotta pay them a premium (or someone else will).
Bill can't get his cheap worker bees unless the supply grows, so that they're a dime a dozen. The less he has to pay his programmers and computer scientists, the more he can line his and other shareholders' pockets with cash.
Q: You said this morning, quote, "The president knows that Karl Rove wasn't involved." How does he know that?
A [Scott McClellan]: Well, I've made it very clear that it was a ridiculous suggestion in the first place.... I've said that it's not true.... And I have spoken with Karl Rove.
Well, I don't know exactly what McClellan said that morning prior to the briefing, so when he said "The president knows that Karl Rove wasn't involved", I don't know in what the president knew Rove wasn't involved. Was he not involved in knowingly divulging classified information? Or was he not involved in this whole mess at all? What was the whole quote?
What about her cover company Brewster Jennings & Associates? There's a reason you don't out intelligence agents. There is a HUGE amount of collateral damage.
I'm not arguing about that. Depending on the work done by people sharing her cover company, there may have been a lot of collateral damage as you suggest (or maybe they were a useless bunch who didn't get anything useful done. Who knows but the CIA, right?;-)
All I'm saying is that Mr. Wilson isn't being entirely clear about her status immediately before the news broke, at least not to my satisfaction. Let's see what the investigators conclude.
"In an interview Friday, Wilson said his comment was meant to reflect that his wife lost her ability to be a covert agent because of the leak, not that she had stopped working for the CIA beforehand."
So he meant that she lost her ability to be a covert agent...that doesn't mean she was covert at the time of Novak's story. It doesn't mean she wasn't covert at the time either. It just means from that point onward, there's no way she could ever be covert.
Regardless of the ongoing investigation, his quotes could cut either way. On its own, that quote: "My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity" could mean that she wasn't a NOC because of Novak, or that she wasn't a NOC even before Novak's story came out.
"In fact, when host Wolf Blitzer specifically asked Wilson if his wife 'hadn't been a clandestine officer for some time before' Novak's column was published, Wilson responded that he could not comment on her past status as an undercover officer"
So he's not saying one way or the other whether she was a NOC on that day...gotta watch them bureaucrats...always mincing words. Let's hold tight and see what the investigation reports.
What if you downloaded it as a 700mb file where every bit was one off from the movie.
In many (most?) nations, creation/distribution of derivative works is prohibited by copyright law. Your bit-shifted download would probably count as such.
So Kerry was out campaigning in 2003. That doesn't count as "cherry-picked data" -- that's his voting record for 2003, as the most liberal senator. It may be coincidence that he showed up for those particular votes. Or maybe those were the votes he felt most important. Either way, he came out pretty liberal that year.
That's a pipe dream, I know, and I guess that's why I rarely pay attention to mainstream american media
It's a pipe dream for you to sit there and think that outlets other than the "mainstream american media" are unbiased. Just because someone says they're giving you the staight facts doesn't mean they are. Or that they're telling you all the facts. Maybe their bias leads them to pass over facts that could be important but they dont think those facts are.
Undoubtedly, that's not going to convince you that he's as liberal as Ralph Nader. Nader, who's not a legislator, doesn't have to compromise on his positions. That's a luxury that John Kerry, as a member of the Senate, just doesn't always have. As for Layton, well, I guess you could go to Canada if you want a "real" liberal.

You might also try the hosts file from someonewhocares.org. It's worked well for me.
So, utterly anecdotal and certainly hardly scientific (well, it is Michael Moore), but it makes you wonder.
Actually, no, it doesn't make me wonder, because it's utterly anecdotal and quite certainly not scientific.
Your paper documents should be fine though.
Well, that is unless the temperature inside the safe climbed so high as to make the CDs melt to the paper documents.

Sounds about right to me. At least, if you go by this Latin pronunciation guide.
The robot was used for instruction for surgeons and anaesthesiologists.

So do we know how much those land masses will raise up, since they won't have the weight of all that ice pushing them down?
Since when do Slashdot editors pull dupes? Why haven't we seen a story about this change in Slashdot editor standards, and another story about it too?

Microsoft has claimed WMA is free (and just about every portable player and PC jukebox supports it)
Well except that every iPod does not support it...and that's a significant number of portable players...
Saying he was like a neanderthol just because he had a funny shaped head is incredibly stupid and closed minded.
Who says he's closed-minded? It may have been an ignorant statement on his part, but yours sounds like a closed-minded assumption to me.
hmmm...what if you try to understand the laws before you cook up any more illegal ideas ;)
Letting a person watch your TV is A-OK in most nations. Rebroadcasting the TV shows, to people you don't know...not so legal.

Ralph Nader and Jack Layton are liberals; John Kerry and Paul Martin are just less right-wing than George Bush and Stephen Harper.
Interesting, in that John Kerry was rated the most liberal member of the Senate
Undoubtedly, that's not going to convince you that he's as liberal as Ralph Nader. Nader, who's not a legislator, doesn't have to compromise on his positions.
