Oh, does Apple inform its ADC members of the bugs? I think not.
Interesting that your stupid comment got moderated up, but the original posting was left alone. Could it be that/. is just an advertising arm of Apple?
Could it be that you're over zealous? The ADC members had access to the various seeds along the way and so see the glaring bugs and a number of the less obvious (from testing in their own development environment). They also have access to certain private mailing lists on which Apple will admit to and inform of bugs (heck even the regular Apple dev lists have this).
My comment was facetious not stupid, by the way.:)
Assuming you mean the Cayman Islands, you're still going to have problems. Their monetary authority has anti-money laundering regulations which the IMF is happy enough with. So you are going to have some difficulties getting it in under the radar. Not to mention getting the account(s) open. While SWIFT could in theory move the money that quickly, you're going to have problems setting up the back-to-back transactions needed to do this.
On the one hand it seems harsh. However, I started to think about it like this: If someone had said 'You know www.somecompany.com, if you go to www.somecompany.com/blah/...?show_last_quarter_res ults , you can see the results they are announcing next month'. A few people go and look and use the information to benefit (financially, in this case). The students did the same thing, it just didn't involve money. However, there was benefit by accessing information not made available to them by Harvard.
I'm pretty sure they were told they would be sent the URL when the decisions were ready for release. If that's true then they had knowledge that would allow them to question if what they were doing was right. Granted they have many peoples sympathy as it's a stressful position to be in.
Instead of crucifying a penniless web journalist, tie bonuses of the development staff to news leaks (or lack thereof). Give your employees a reason not to snitch on you.
You mean bribe them to be honest? That's a bit harsh but people do have a reason not to snitch and generally it's in the form of an NDA. It's not that onerous a task to not disclose trade secrets. Apple is stomping on these guys but if you're going to handle trade secrets in that manner it has to have crossed your mind you could get caught.
'Learn to laugh before you post on Slashdot'.. is a possible sarcastic response to that comment. 'Wikipaedo' should be a giveway to the grandparents intentions.. ermm.. you know what I mean:)
The breakthrough is his capacity to communicate his abilities (how he visualises numbers) and creativity (his creation of a language). Neither of these are normally associated with savants which puts it far beyond high-school psychiatry.
What you're saying reminds me of something that Warren Buffet said. I'm going to paraphrase here, probably badly. He was saying that when he heard the 'man on the street' talking about getting into a particular stock because that man heard it was the next great thing that's the time to get out. Now I'd be surprised to see Microsoft go down the pan quickly. But, if the institutional traders are letting their shares go into the hands of small investors then MS is probably stagnant and not a good investment.
There's fuckall 'straightforward' about McCreevy and he's the last person who should be involved in an issue like this. He and party colleagues are far too easily swayed by large MNCs at the expense of the small indigenous development outfits in Europe.
So if you were attempting to imply that I had somehow incorrectly used my native language you are incorrect, in that it is impossible for a native speaker to incorrectly use their own language.
How did you reach that conclusion? Of course people can misuse their own language. A language is not some arbitrary collection of words to use at will. There are rules which, yes, linguists do study (syntax and semantics are just as important in linguistics as history and evolution).
You mean; when the justice system starts valuing money over life. I see nothing wrong with someone like this doing time. Dealing with the problems in the justice system is a separate issue though.
We could probably save some time and store all the previous 'jokes'. When a new one appears it can than have all permutations of "In Soviet Russia/Natalie Portman/Old People in Korea/Beowulf/1... 3. Profit!!!" applied to it. Naturally it would be Open Source (GPL licensed naturally), prefer to run on Gentoo and be compiled with -O2 obviously...
There is a difference though, detestable as the type of organisations you mention are, you can (partially) ignore them by closing your windows or turning off the radio. Many of the spammers are actively breaking into peoples machines and then using them to spread their messages. Would the ACLU defend the KKK if they broke into somebody's home and smashed the windows so that the passing march could be heard? If they then go hang some of their propaganda on the walls of that home, using the 'advertising' space to spread their message would they still be defended on civil liberties grounds?
There's freedom of speech and then there's interfering with another person's property.

Why don't you take out a paid ADC subscription and find out? :)

In that case, I'm not going to bother ... :)

So the PRC has been annexed then? Langers surrendered?

Think about what the grandparent said.... it might dawn on you at some point what he means.
Could be, I'm not sure why Buffet seemed the most likely though ... thanks for the correction though.

Ummm ... I reckon lot of folk here will get their knickers in a knot still.
Sorry, it's not obvious what your issue with the quote is. Care to elaborate?
But at least you got modded informative for correcting what you said in your little fit of pique :)
In the absence of the DVD, do you have any other sources?

Congratulations on learnt though.

Bet their spelling is fucked now as well :)

Troll moderation for this comment is unjust!

Tell me more about this realistic nun photography hobby of yours. Are you into priests as well?
