Well, yes, quite. We never get snow anymore. Last winter, on the day it hit zero degrees, nobody noticed because it warmed up right away. This year spring started in the middle of January.. and, for all intents and purposes, summer started on valentine's day.Our weather is becoming like northern California used to be..
This type of lawsuit can help regain some of the liberties the government has taken away, or at least some of the transparency. #WishfulThinking
Agreed. At the very least they will no longer have the cover of darkness.As long as they can slap a gag order on any request , no matter how immoral illegal (or fattening.. sorry just had to throw that in;-), they can pretty much do whatever they want. There is in fact NO difference between a soviet style system and a US style system using gag orders.
The worst, and the most damn stupid I have ever heard.. Goo goo ga ga.. Better tell dem dum/. readers that theres a reopen last tab option.
Holy crap how did that EVER get past the editors..
This would have never slipped by the editors with the old/. And it was a crap CME anyways. Is somebody trying to repeatedly trying to push the panic button?
Cheers are carrying as far as the west coast.. threatening to drown out the airport next door... To be fair, while Bill was at the helm, I thought Steve *was* the perfect foil for him, kind of like the teams of Laurel and Hardy, or Penn and Teller.. And certainly Steve imagined himself as a comedian.. I refer the the windows 1x ad (1.1? or it could have been 2x, i don't recall ATM) where he promotes it like a Ronco chopper/dicer ad... Does antyone even remember this one?I think it only made the rounds at trade shows, because there was no worldwide web at the time.. Of course there were BBS's but there was no way you could post videos on them (well you could, if you had loads of patience, cheap telephone plan, and enough of a grasp of the CLI to reassemble binary files;-.) I believe even back then, video CDs had already arrived, which would be the only way to play them afterwards.. I have never run into this video since, however. Does anyone know what I am referring to? At any rate, if Steve wants a new post-retirement career, he could try comedy !
Anything we make out of concrete is usually falling apart after 50 years.
Well, perhaps that's because it's being weakened by all the bodies buried in these foundations.. Plus, the mob always uses the cheapest concrete they can find to complete their contracts. There, of course, do exist foundations poured by reputable companies, like in house construction , but the're too small to hide bodies in anyways..
There's a difference between OSX , QNX and all the other "NIXes? Other than tweaks here and tweaks there, and different GUIs, seems to me that UNIX is really having it's biggest boom ever....
Is there anything Google does not do? HAndles your email, searches the web for you,stores your files searches your desktop, and displays all the "Free news videos" on YT.. you know, all the videos slamming global monoliths that handle your email, search the web for you, store your files searches your desktop, and displays all the "Freedom news videos"
I expect that before Google starts mowing my lawn with driverless mowers, cutting my hair with mindless hairstylists (oh we already have those) and doing my job for me so I can just go home and surf the net wnd watch videos (courtesy of Google) they may have to get rid of all those pesky anti-monopoly videos..
If anyone should know about collapsing companies and such, surely it's Ellison.... He's right about Apple, of course.. just like what happened with Sun.. except in Apple's case it was the *loss* of a leader, in Sun's case it was the *aquirement* of a manager..
His "Health care program" is a trojan horse to implement draconian tracking policies. Health care has been so poorly handled all over the world anyways that no universal program will ever be successful.. The CAbnadian system could have been the best if it hadn't been co0-opted by the big drug companies, who saw an easy buck in draining the canadian tax coffers with outrageous charges for covered prescriptions. In order to pay the drug companies, the government has gutted our hospitals, our medical plans coverage, and anywhere else they can other than drug costs. The system is now a wreck because of that. There is simply no way the US could avoid the same fate, but using employers the way they've done is absurd. They should have instead MANDATED that nobody could be refused health care. Costs a lot? Sure. but if they keep the drug companies out of it , and require *reasons* for a battery of expensive tests, instead of meekly paying for them all the time, they;'d save multiple billions. It'as too late for us here.. the politicians are fully bought and paid for by the drug companies, not in the way your US politicians get compromised, but it's just as effective how they do it here, just different.
If there had been Big Pharma in Shakespeare's time, "First shoot all the lawyers" would not have been the line.. they would undoubtedly have come second though;-)
But isn't that the very nature of a VM in the first place? That's what allows them to be such ideal sandboxes. I've occasionally needed to open and run an infected and uncleanable application, and used a (disposable) copy of the VM to open it, run it, and after that, rather than try to clean the entire OS, just deleted the whle thing. The host OS never had a clue.
An alternative would be a private bulletin board system where no messages ever leave the server and both sender and recipient must log in to send or receive mail. It will also hide the patterns provided the database is completely encrypted, including relations.
You're quite correct, and THIS (the BB system) is the method professional agents use the most.
Wow. All these brilliant ideas on encrypting communication like snail mailed rubber envelopes wax seals etc Nothing screams "I have a secret" as loud as obvious encryption attempts. And nothing is as tempting for CIA or DHS operatives to try and circumvent. Security services in *other* countries don't waste their time trying to crack "encrypted email" or rubber envelopes in snail mail. Why? Becaus professional agents don't ever use an *obvious* encryption method at all!. A REAl spy's email might look like "H mom how are you.. yadayada" Instead if, say, looking for foreign spies, they uase psychology to try and discern odd behavior.. and once they have a solid target THEN they try to see if the correspondence looks suspicious. If the US tries to crack MEGA's new encrypted email service, it'll be sour grapes and not any hope of success in catching a "spy". After all they didn't think to start checking Snowden's emails until AFTER he came out;-)

My point is that it appears the IRS did nothing *at all* for 3 years, then ambushed them all at once.
Surely the IRS should have given them *some* kind of notice about failure to file?
Yup.. standard IRS practice
Or.. one wider trick
It's one wierd trick.
Nope, one wired trick ;-)
Nope, so use Chrome. Safari *still* can't save pages correctly, and i positively hate it on Lion..

Make sure you count to 10, and don't let any day traders near the on/off switch..
You have to restart it while holding down the option key. That will flush the cash.
God i laughed so hard it hurts!

Could it be a test for the big unexpected solar flare they're expecting the second week in October?

...Germans also have this great habit that they do what they say they are going to do.
Holy mackerall.. they'd never tolerate Canada.. If I could just have ONE WEEK around people like that I could fix all my current issues..
The only place I know of where everybody speaks english (OK maybe not perfectly ;-) and has a hate on for government snooping, is Russia
