It was a condition of her release. If she did not wish to comply with the conditions, her jail time would have been higher and/or she would have had greater fines.
If the judge offers something like this up, you take it. It beats spending more time in jail. But you had better follow through. At this level of the court system, the judges are your neighbors. They want the same things you do, a safe community. They are not ivory tower federal judges.
I have never found that to be particularly true. Yeah, there have been the occasional a**holes, but surprisingly far fewer than with MAC. What a smug self-righteous bunch of turds. As for Windows, there are just so many people using it, that fixes and/or work arounds are found rather quickly. With Windows, skill level varies so much, that the level of expected understanding is quite low.
As for modding you down, when you speak out your *ss and hide behind A/C, what do you expect? However, I see that you have been modded up to 5, Insightful. I bet now you wish you had the balls to stand up and publicly state your case.
Same here. I had the lid issue, crashing programs and it would not play nice with my KVM box. I switched to KDE and after a few upgrades the lid and KVM issues went away. I still have an occasional issue with crashes. xfce seems to be a little more stable.
Actually, you might be right about him. But that is actually the case in my family. Kids went to Mac, which they griped about for other reasons, my wife, who prefers the old gnome, went back to XP, I'm using KDE and my mother ( 77 ) is just learning KDE. She came from an XP machine. I did put the icons ( about a dozen or so of them ) for her favorite programs right on the desktop. So, Ubuntu lost 60% of the users in my family because of Unity.
When there is too much power for the grid to handle, they pump the water up the mountain into a reservoir. As demand for power increases, they allow the water to flow back down into a lower reservoir that turns power generating turbines. Think massive capacitor.
The area around the facility is a beautiful park. The visitor center explains how the whole thing works.
Also university isn't just about learning a trade (that's trade school). It's about getting a rounded education in stuff you probably don't give a shit about, building non-technical skills that are important (writing for instance), proving that you can tackle non-trivial problems with minimal supervision, and proving that you can handle a certain level of stress.
Interesting. But then tell me why I find that less than 10% of newly minted CS grads are worth a damn? They can't write ( English ), think critically, express themselves or code their way out of a paper bag?
Give me a guy ( male or female ) who has a degree in anything else, or no degree at all, and worked their way through Corporate America and are articulate enough to describe the problem and I'll hire them. I'll even teach them the specific skills they need for the job. However, I stay clear of Java or Visual Studio only people. They have a truly warped and unrepairable mindset.
Not really. Steve claimed patents on iPhone from day one. No other phone ad ALL the features iPhone did when it was released. In fact, when Google was designing Android, they LEFT OUT certain features like the pinch to zoom because Apple had a patent on those feataures from 2000 era Fingerworks multitouch devices.
I had forgotten about that pinch thing. I though you couldn't patent the obvious. Years ago, when I tried my first touchscreen with Windows, I tried to do a zoom in using the same technique that all the smartphones had. Does that mean that I would be considered Prior Art, if I had written about how I had envisioned it working? I might never have gotten a patent, but this whole pinch thing is bloody obvious.
The only way that Congress will ever start fixing things is when they come to a head. Brinksmanship. I so hope this screws up everyones' desires for the iPhone 5 and the public outcry becomes deafening.
I've showed folks some of the various artciles regarding the case and they had no clue there was even a case in the courts.
ah, but that's just it. Clinton's behavior allowed Bush to do as well as he did. If Bush hadn't ridden the anti-Clinton wave, and hence the anti-Democrat wave, his showing would have been so abysmal as to preclude any judicial interference.
Not a shame, in my opinion. The US always plays things to the brink. This type of activity will cause the whole patent system to impode. Good. Then they can rebuilt it with innovation in mind. That would also have beneficial side affects for Copyright law.
Yes. Flamebait. But this is an A/C that got modded up Insightful for this uninspired drivel.
If Samsung wins, if the LTE case ever comes to court, the effects will be that the Apple victory in the States will become meaningless. "Here is the x billions I owe you, and thianks for the x billions you owe me." Besides, I'll bet the Apple victory gets over-turned quite quickly.
That's a ho hum salary for programmers with experience. That's less than $50/hour. Ten years ago, I knew Unix people in the financial area ( NYC ) making 50% more than that.
It isn't just the money that makes a programmer work harder. A good working environment ( not the physical ) gets people to be more productive. Things like flex time, tele-commuting and accessible day-care goes a long way towards fostering an effective work force. Trust and respect goes a long way.
Oh, well, not going to happen with all the psychotic managers running the place.
A really, really big idiot that will totally f*ck everything up to the point that upper management will realize their folly at allowing any Windows machines in the building.

Just say no to Unity
How do you know he isn't? He is on slashdot after all. Oh, wait...
This has better be part of some truly not funny practical joke.
I am taking Friday off and plan to disconnect myself from the world for the weekend. Maybe this whole iPhone silliness will have blown over by Monday.
Although, I have to say, my wife does not like to be grepped. She feels that I'd just be looking for the desired parts...
Well, duh!
And use a semi-colon for Dog's sake!
A good foundation will cover those blemishes and make the subsequent layers easier to apply.
Or are they talking about the old ones still lying about?
Damn, technology moves just too quickly for me to keep up with it.

We haven't even succeeded in teaching Kansas that Gorillas and Humans share a similar genealogical lineage.
They do? **gasp** If I were a gorilla, I would be incensed! Get your filthy hands off me! Dirty Human!

I was laughing hysterically at this and was about to laud a mod point on the post. Then I saw that it was an AC. Wait a sec...
This AC isn't being funny, he's serious. Oh Lord! We're really screwed.

"Rounded corners? Really? You can patent those?"
ah, but that's just it. Clinton's behavior allowed Bush to do as well as he did. If Bush hadn't ridden the anti-Clinton wave, and hence the anti-Democrat wave, his showing would have been so abysmal as to preclude any judicial interference.
Actually, I think it is all Clinton's fault. If he hadn't been such a tool, Bush never would have gotten elected.
No. But it can core a Apple.
has a microSD slot on the side under a cover next to the SIM card. Ingenious design.
IMHO, the only thing that could defile a phone these days would be the name Nokia on it. Or Blackberry.
I'll see you later hon, I have to go out and get a booster shot.
