That's odd, if I google for "selective enforcement in the UK" for example then I get lots of results. Pick any country with good english-language reporting, you'll see the same.
So you go with the assumption that a selective enforcement gets the same internet-related coverage than a regular enforcement. So, with this new light, do you think the fact that there are a lot of results for "selective enforcement in the UK" is any indication for anything else than "There are selective enforcement in the UK". Which ultimately proves nothing and most certainly do not disprove my claim.
It's just manipulative police, nothing to do with law and order.
So... just like the police then, eh?
Not really, no. I don't know where you live but over here in Europe (at least in several countries in Europe) most of the police work is really done to enforce "law and order". Of course, there is the occasional political arrest and other police actions that are deceitful and/or manipulative, but it is the exception, not the rule.
The foreign actions of the USA is quite the opposite: You may find one being genuinely innocent, but the overwhelming majority of it is just here to server internal US interests, not "law and order".
Apart from the copyright issues, pretty much. They'd better not do it though since they currently have all the copyright to MySQL code and incorporating a patch this way would kill all the advantages to this (namely, the option to close-source MySQL)
Believe me, the world needs a cop. And Americans make the best ones. If not for American occupation, Europe would still be in a constant state of war. And the Soviet Union did its part also, even if they are a bit hamfisted about it. I, for one, am very happy to see somebody enforcing some law and order on the planet. I don't think you understand the condition we would be in without it. American power is keeping the peace. You should be very grateful that you can sleep as comfortably as you do.
Americans aren't enforcing law and order on the planet. They are enforcing law and order when it suits them for their economical and geopolitical interests. It's just manipulative police, nothing to do with law and order.
Sorry I was being trollish. My spouse actually likes the series quite a bit, much to my dismay.
It doesn't look like you respect her (or others in general) quite well enough. You should learn to respect other people's choice without being judgmental. The fact that you can't find pleasure in something she finds pleasure in should make you happy for her, nothing else. Various people find their pleasures in various activities and the only thing that can deter their pleasure is the judgment of others looking down on them from high up there, where they think they belong.
Personally I was glad to see the Hobbit movie split up. They skipped way too much in the Lord of the ring series.
I have no interest in Harry Potter so I never watched those.
The Potter movies are about the same: Lots of stuff left out to make the movie fit in under two hours. At least, for the last one, they made two movies so we get a more detailed view of what's in the book (which is anyway quite bigger than the previous ones)
There should be a way to punish people for stupid posts so that they cannot post anymore. Whoever is behind this story however deserves a title to have come up with the stupidest, most ridiculous/. story ever that has been accepted and published.
Untrue in France at least (since the original band is French). In France, the original artist of a piece of art *cannot* sell 100% of the rights on the work of art. They retain a minimum of 50%.
That said, the problem doesn't really change as the label owns 50% of the copyrights and hold the band by the balls anyways.
The one accident in 250k is an aggregate of a lot of data. It doesn't mean that it is expected that after you get to 250k and beyond you're more likely to get into an accident.
To demonstrate if I threw a perfectly balanced die 600 times, statistically I should roll a one 100 times. However if I have actually rolled the die 500 times and have not gotten a 1 (highly unlikely but possible) it would be absurd for me to believe that I would likely get a one the next 100 time. No, for the next 100 rolls I should expect to get about 16 or 17 ones.
You're right but I never pretended he had more chance now than he had before. The GGP claims that just because he drove more than the "average first accident mileage" without any accident, it makes him a good driver. And that's bullshit from a statistical point of view. That would be akin to pretending than the average number of dice roll after which you get a "One" is three. So I throw a dice 3 times and if I didn't get any "One" I claim that my dice has less than 1/6 chance of getting a One. This is bullshit. Throw your dice 10000 times and if you didn't get a One then statistically you can probably prove that your dice has a 99% chance of having a lower One probability (ie: not a perfect dice). But after three throws it is just inconclusive.
The fact that you didn't have any accident proves that you're a safer driver?
Not in my book, it doesn't. Statistics just say you have a slightly higher chance of being one, nothing else. Drive 30000k and the chances will rise above 99%, but for now, it could just be pure luck on your part and pure lack of luck on the part of another driver having had 2 accidents in the same mileage, while this driver would be driving much safer than you are.
Indeed. I have indentical twins (10yo now) and let me tell ya: They don't have the same abilities nor the same personalities, even though we did raise them approximately the same way. They won't get anywhere with this, except making a clone of JL that will obviously fail to live up to what he will be told he should be. So he will be miserable. Talk about a personality disorder;-)
So the excuse for Americans to get fatter is that they managed to fuck off all the species living on their soil with them? I though that would be seen as an aggravating factor, not an excuse.
So Germany is burning fossil fuels for 79% of its electricity production... Interesting how solar/wind/renewable is making electricity so much more expensive there while only producing 12% of their total production. Looks like a big problem ahead of them.
In case you haven't noticed: This is an article about SOLAR power, not COAL. Nobody in their right mind is proposing to keep using coal to get off nuclear. You don't have to chose between the two. Germany plans to get rid of both.
And Germany plans to shut down on all those nights that when there are no wind? Give me a break. Solar and Wind power are GREAT but they cannot replace another source of steady power, because they are both intermittent by nature. And Germany clearly stated they plan on getting rid of all nuclear. As a matter of fact, they have recommissioned quite a few fossil-fuel-based plants already.
No weather app either, no email client, no RSS reader, no Dropbox, no phone/sms app, no Shazam, no browser, no GPS app (iOS, Waze, Google all rely on the net) no SSH client, no client for your favorite website (fandango, wikipedia, google, imdb, yammer,)...
The list is long the the GGP's comment was idiotic. That was just my point.
This means they get a cut of sales no matter what.
Which is not the point of the whole thing, by they own word and their own accountants. Did you see the dent AppStore sales makes on their overall profit margin? Do you really think they did all that JUST for the money? Do you think they got where they are by being this shortsightedly stupid?
I'm not a fanboy or anything, but give some credit to Jobs. If he was that dumbfuck stupid he wouldn't have died 1000000 times as rich as you will.
Without knowing much about the setup, I'm kind of doubtful that they can have a high level of confidence that it really ran for a few seconds. If I were testing apps like this, I'd run a good bit of my testing on a disposable VM with a faked network. That way it couldn't send connections out and any self-modification it did while in the test harness would be ignored, so nobody but me would have any way of knowing what went on in the harness
In other words, you would reject any app relying on a webservice somewhere on the internet. Good policy I guess. Nobody needs Instagram, Facebook of Twitter apps.
I've had a game published which wasn't even started, or approved while only displaying 'an internet connection is required to proceed'. It's hard to be checked out less than this..
They probably need to divide that gargantuan thing, 400GB, down into smaller, more manageable, chunks before encrypting it. Then they might get more people cooperating with them. How many people can download and store 400GB in one chunk?
As it turns out, plenty of people. I got 20Mbps down and terabytes of free space. It just takes about 55 hours to get all in and plenty of storage. And I have a pretty slow connection by today's standards. Most of my friends have 100Mbps down, meaning the file will be in in about 5.5 hours. It's really affordable by most in Europe.
Slashdot Mirror
are you high or just an idiot?, what does this article has to do with any of that shit?
What you just did is called "feeding the trolls". It is discouraged.
In Europe the police enforce "law and order" by making sure people use the word "courielle" instead of "email".
Not in France, no.
Also, you have to name your kids something from the national registry.
Not in France, no, not true.
Its part of the reason why rioters set things on fire as rarely as once every couple years in Paris.
Well, there are riots in Paris, but they are completely unrelated to your two points above, both of which are just lies.
Nice troll though.

They implemented MJPEG decoding in 2013... Not worthy of much to be honest. Shitty bitrate!
