"The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then they get elected and prove it."
I explained the concept, he said it didn't make sense. I took a sentence, then turned a copy all caps and had him read both. Neither of us saw a difference in his reading speed.
They make Cindy Sheehan look positively introverted. They'll hijack anything, offend anyone to get their word out in the press, and even on Slashdot apparently.
Remember, PETA is one of the most prolific animal killers in the country, hires out their animal-killing expertise to pounds across the country, and even kills animals obtained under the pretense that they'll be adopted out.
PETA, yeah, as long as wanton killing is considered ethical.
Maybe, I haven't extensively tested it. But I tried the upper/lower test on a friend whose first written language was Arabic, but he's been fluent in English for about 30 years, starting as a teenager. He found all upper and mixed case equally easy to read.
You don't need an invite to go to a regular web site.
Think of the park the OWS protesters were on, privately owned, but a public venue. The building next to it is also owned by that company. The company can lock down the building, deny public access, and any attempt to enter without abiding their strict terms can be tresspassing.
But you can just walk onto their park because it is a public place. So are public web sites. However, trying to do more than what is considered reasonable for a public space isn't allowed. You can't just bring in a backhoe and start digging up their park, you can't hack a public web site to change the server's configuration.
It's that latter bit that the CFAA was meant to cover, not merely visiting a public site and not following the rules, which can be rather strange.
I remember one, "You agree you won't challenge the validity of our copyright." Well, to challenge their copyright, you first have to view their materials to determine whether a challenge is warranted. But in viewing the materials, you forfeit your ability to challenge the copyright.
As I read, I read to myself in my head, not sounding out letters, but the words as I go. Whenever I see this example of transposition, that voice in my head starts to sound like it has Down syndrome.
He's a older like earlier doctors, maybe bring a bit of that educated detachment back into it rather than being "hip," and more of a father figure to the famale companion than a possible sex interest. Laurie's got a strong grounding in comedy, so he could be as funny as Tom Baker, and he's great at drama too.
It's common, live with it. Every Cell processor in a PS3 comes with eight cell processing units, with one disabled. That way they can set the standard for seven and use most of the chips that come off the line.
Even AMD had a problem with too-good yield about ten years ago, so they restricted the clock and sold "crippled" low-end chips that were technically rated to run at much higher speeds.
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
With this in mind, US copyright was created as a balance, an incentive to people to produce in return for a LIMITED copyright before the works fell back to the public domain. Limited used to mean 14 years, as in people were personally supposed to see their own works go out of copyright to have incentive to create more to keep the money coming in.
Why produce bottles with fat tops that let you easily set them spout down? That helped lots of people get more out of their bottle of ketchup. Now you don't have to wedge the skinny-top bottle upside down between others in the fridge, only to have everything fall back to the bottom at the dinner table.
Lincoln ignored a court's ruling that his detention of people without habeas corpus was unlawful since the Constitution reserved the power to suspend habeas corpus to Congress alone.
Congress later approving the action does not make it right. He did what was at the time blatantly unconstitutional.
Apparently the numbers were only high enough to cause an uproar after the start of persecution of jews in Germany, some year before WWII.
Arabs were attacking the Jews before 1920, when the Haganah was created to protect against them. This is not long after the Ottomans lost control, and barely after Hitler had joined the DAP, about the time the name was changed to the NSDAP, and about five years before Mein Kampf.
The Ottomans demanded everybody live together in peace, and the local Muslims were bound to obey the Caliphate. The British didn't care, and they had no authority under Islam, so the Muslims were free to attack the Jews after WWI. The later influx from Nazi-run Europe just gave them more Jews to attack.
Shove them onto a 25" widescreen that you don't want to be touching all the time, and the concept which was so loved on the phone is going to be hated on the big(ger) screen.
Witness: HP and Dell both produce large all-in-one competitors to the iMac with touch screens. Does anybody actually use that feature? Imagine if they had an OS that required the use of the touch feature. I see lots of arms getting very tired, users getting frustrated.
Fitts' law: The fact that they're at the top means that no matter where you are on the screen they are very fast to access. They effectively have infinite height.
Motor memory: No matter where you are, what app you're in, the File or Edit menus will always be in the same place on the screen, making them faster to access.
OS X is also centered around being able to have many windows of an application open on the screen, and they all share a common menu bar instead of needlessly duplicating menus.
This is effectively the same as Photoshop with multiple photos open -- all your documents all around, one menu bar at the top. Only on the Mac all of the documents aren't restricted to the one main Photoshop window, which now doesn't exist, leaving you to focus on just the photos.
I think current laws can be tweaked to ensure it. Two example worries:
ISPs will interfere with competing services: Use current laws against anti-competitive behavior, give FTC authority to step in quickly so it doesn't take a ten-year lawsuit to resolve such practices.
ISPs will throttle or cut off users for using their "unlimited" bandwidth: Use consumer fraud laws, FTC can require full disclosure in simple terms, penalize companies that defraud customers this way.
Slashdot Mirror
Before Flash, Adobe was known to make some extremely useful products, and FrameMaker is right up there for long, heavily-referenced documents.
I think it works for this, by P.J. O'Rourke:
"The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then they get elected and prove it."

It's probably how we were raised.
I can read it perfectly, but the manner of speech changed.

For the exact same reason.
Any unprotected protion of a web site can be considered a public space, since by the very act of putting it up you are inviting the public to visit.

It's a set of standards authored by a third party and adopted by a state. I know, screwed up.
Many ordinances these days are actual copyrighted works adopted by governments. You have to pay to get a whole copy.
He totally screwed the pooch on illegal immigration, TARP, medicare drug benefit, and just general out of control spending and growth of government.
Oh, you were probably talking about the wars?

The town would make a great addition to the range at Fort Sill.

Which facts are presented, and how they are presented, do.

The people have the freedom, and grant the government specific powers.
At least how the system was set up to be. YMMV
