"Since search engine operators rely on robotic 'spiders' to manage their automated processes, publishers' Web sites need to start speaking a language which the operators can teach their robots to understand," according to a document seen by Reuters that outlines the publishers' plans.
"What is required is a standardized way of describing the permissions which apply to a Web site or Web page so that it can be decoded by a dumb machine without the help of an expensive lawyer."
You mean like robots.txt?
This sounds like willful ignorance. All the search engines mention it as the method to avoid having particular content indexed. They might not read RFCs but a quick peek at the help pages on the search engines in question would've answered this (and squashed the lawsuit) in no time.
Please for the love of , apply the moderation to a comment as soon as the moderation value has selected from the drop down box. I constantly forget to press the "Moderate" button which is hidden somewhere down the bottom, and therefore comments that I wanted to moderate don't.
Apart from that, it's a vast improvement. Especially being able to selectively browse comments that are below the threshold value, without loosing track of the conversation.
Well, the idea of this is that I call up the phone company and pretend to be you. Since you gave your employer bunches of confidential information as part of the hiring process, and your employer gave it to me, I'm sure that I can probably respond to any question that the phone company might use.
That doesn't explain how easily the phone records of those two journalists were obtained from the phone company though, does it?
After all we're talking about an entity that charges you extra for a private number.
It's called Zune and MSN Music. If the labels don't think that Microsoft can bolt down the music they "sell" to people then the labels don't want Microsoft to be selling their music. Microsoft wants to own this market segment because Apple does, since it forms a part of their new "MS is your everything" strategy.
Plus it might also make the labels pull the plug from other on-line music stores that use Microsoft's DRM technology, opening themselves up to another volley of lawsuits.
. When I signed up with my ISP, there is a specific clause that says it DOES NOT GUARANTEE BANDWIDTH.
And therein lies the rub. They can put all the fine print they want in the contract but if that contradicts or undersells what is promised (as in guaranteed) in the advertisement, then that's fraud. Which is what the GP was trying to hammer through.
Reading and comprehension: It's not just for kids anymore.
DRM is not "necessary" to protect copyright , but it is it's purpose to do so.
So what happens after copyright expires (assuming Disney doesn't buy any more extensions) ? That is a scenario that never seems to be acknowledged by the folks plying DRM systems. Not surprising though, really.
Playing awfully close to Godwin right there. It is an age-old method that simply got perfected by Göbbels. The president of Iran isn't unique in it, practically everyone is doing it these days.
I have it on good authority that AOL saves not only your searches[...]
You don't need good authority for that. An obviousness helmet is all you need.
The difference here is that Google makes its living on an (ever increasing) income of advertisement money, whereas AOL's business model revolves around steady income from their (albeit dwindling number of) subscribers. Google want their data kept private more than you want that particular data kept private (and this is the crucial point in all privacy discussion on Google) in order to keep their core business model intact. All the while AOL are willing to put the exact same data for sale to the highest bidder, since it isn't strictly relevant to their core business model.

It's called the Banach-Tarski Paradox. Basically, it states that you can take a solid ball in 3-dimensional space and cut it up into a finite number of pieces (the lowest limit is five pieces) and re-assemble them into two balls of equal volume. In fact, you could take any shape and cut it up into finite number of pieces to make any other shape.
The thing to bear in mind here is that the individual pieces have no "real world" counterparts. They are infinitely complicated and therefore immeasurable. So things like volume and area don't really apply to them. It's purely a mathematical device, although I wish I could do this with my paycheck.

It boils down to this: For the NSA eavesdrop on a conversation, where one of the participants is a US citizen and/or resident, they require a FISA court approval, whether this be done beforehand or retroactively (up to 24 hours after the fact). In essence, the president authorised the NSA to eavesdrop on telephone conversions that were either inbound to or outbound from the United States, whether they involved US citizens/residents or not (the illegal bit, according to the law cited above). Another sticky bit is that NSA is only allowed to monitor communications partially or wholly outside of the US. With the AT&T plumbing program, it has opened the possibility that the NSA might've been listening to fully domestic conversations, which is also illegal. This is what the EFF wanted to find out with their lawsuit.
That good enough for you?

It's more like the Google search appliance. It simply indexes your log files locally allowing you to search through them locally. The log files are never sent to splunk. When you need to look up what a possible logged error means, and how to solve it, it looks it up using fingerprints, with machine name and times stripped out. No different than searching for the same error using Google or Usenet. I can see this as being extremely useful since you don't have to sift through endless garbage.

A volcano erupted on an island off the south coast of Iceland in 1973. After the eruption, they drilled several holes in lava and have been heating up the town, and providing hot water, ever since by that exact same method.
Haven't you been keeping up with the program? The only way to get research grants these days is to tie your research somehow into "the war on terror", no matter how tenuous that connection might be.
My grasp of the english language, and its plethora of prefixes, is perfectly fine. No need to keep waving the OED in front of me.
The OP was stating that people with 'superman' genetic disorders weren't allowed to partake in the Olympics due to their "physical advantages". I'm assuming that this mistaken belief is due to the connotations that the name 'superman' carries. I was simply explaining that 'superman' syndrome is a physical disadvantage, and often a pretty bad one.
Special Olympics, maybe, but not the regular ones.
Said people aren't allowed to be in the Olympics because they have a physical advantage over normal XY/XX people.
Despite the name it's a deficiency and a bad one at that. Trisomoy, in practically all cases, really screws up the machinery (Down syndrome, birth defects etc). If not, they would've been an evolutionary advantege and everyone would have them by now.

They already have. Twice.
So you mean basically, if there is no robots.txt file, then don't index belgian sites at all? Sounds like a reasonable compromise to me.
Heck, do that for all websites, maybe we'll see a brief drop in linkfarms. Well, until they catch on...

they probably make money from advertising.
And in a great fit of irony, their most prominent advertising is a Google Ads box.
