With adblock I can right click on pretty much anything and make it go away forever. Does privoxy have a similar plugin to the browser to make it that easy?
I doubt if anyone could successfully argue in court that I'm using the state rather than a personal definition unless I'm an agent of the state, or somehow specially familiar with the state's standards. Also, I doubt if the state standards reference disgusting (sanitary is more likely).
They were dreamed up to solve the high cost of earth based launch? A maintainable, redundant set of motors at the space station end seems like a cheap solution to this particular problem, and the reaction mass would be negligible compared to the reaction mass required for all the earth based lifts it would eliminate. Still a massively cost-saving proposition.
But seriously, it's the same issue no matter where you go. You can write ruby that will run anywhere, and you can write ruby that will run only on a specific interpreter. You can write c that will link anywhere and you can write c that will link only within a specific compiler.
Encouraging people not to fragment is hopeless, an unfragmentable language would be useless... there are just too many useful libraries out there.
It is definitely true that there are state requirements, but they unfortunately fall far below the level that many people consider acceptable. In my state you can operate your eatery with a c-grade inspection. I wish they would close any eatery with less than an A. The previous state I lived in used a 100 point scale and you could be open at 60, but I wouldn't eat at any place that had less than 95 (it took some seriously scary violations to drop below that level). Thankfully there they were required to post their score on the front door.
So the bottom line is, that though there is a filth level defined by law, there is a huge range in the legally acceptable eateries, and I feel just fine discussing what are among the most disgustingly filthy eateries I have seen.
You would write code the same in any version (using the Ruby language). But you would run in a different container depending on your platform. This is no different from using a different compiler for C, or a different runtime for Perl. The availability of different libraries on different platforms is universal for basically all languages.
I certainly agree with all of that (in terms of what he SHOULD do). I was really only considering what he CAN do. That he has made a bad choice is, I think, fairly obvious (although, one might argue that the increase in visits from maryland slashdotters checking on the filth levels may be yielding improvements in exposure for him, and at least one slashdotter has now reported the DD as 'spotless', so who knows).
Defamation is definitely not protected speech. That's why there's a legal definition for it. Now, he would be laughed out of court because the speech in question is not defamation, but not the other way around.
No good. All he need do is be informed of the statement. Once the court case is in progress he can get the actual statement via discovery. There's no way in our legal system to protect the website, other than to establish precedent that they cannot be required to produce information in such cases, which is fairly likely to be the outcome here.
Even if it is pretty clean or pretty dirty, the original poster is safe since he stated it in relative terms to his personal experience of other establishments. Just because he normally eats at 4 star restaurants and wandered into a DD by mistake does not invalidate his opinion.
Election funding should be public information, and where your political actions are obviously immoral, you should be prepared to be boycotted for your actions.
Frankly, a boycott of businesses that decide to spend their money on immorality is well warranted. Anti-rights businesses deserve to lose money. We don't need those people around, best if they lose everything and starve to death.
Why should the dunkin donuts' owner sign/agree to such a eula, though? He need only know that he WAS defamed, even if he doesn't acquire that knowledge through the website. He can have a third party retrieve the data for his court case.
The problem is that what you are describing is nothing at all like what the market actually wants. The market actually wants massive feature lists delivered as fast as possible, and their level of caring for whether or not quality is there is very low. This is very unlike, say, a bridge, where the primary public concern is going to be that the bridge not fail and kill them. Or an electrical product where the primary public concern is that it not short out and start a fire that kills them.
When things go wrong in other fields of engineering, it can frequently kill you. In most software engineering, not so much, and in the areas where it CAN kill you (think airplane fly by wire control software), you should be unsurprised to find out that many of the quality and testing standards are quite the same as in other fields.
Most software engineering is more like movie publishing. The audience quickly gets satiated, and is mostly looking to the next great thing with better FX, and not so much caring if you have a few flaws in your plot (see recent Batman movie if you are unclear on this).
In all fairness, the rich need welfare more than the poor. These people are out millions of dollars, while a poor person can only be out hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars.
Depends on who you think gets to define what languages exist. By whose authority did you conclude that Chinese != Mandarin? Because my (state-run!) college offered Chinese as a language option. That makes it an official language in my book.
The problem is that the desire to do writing or design on games lives in just about every game developer out there. Some of them may be terrible at it, but they all want a chance to tell their story. So the opportunities to do this are all basically filled from within.
I think most people can differentiate between the two fairly easily. Most people have a common sense notion of what a photo is, which roughly equates to light being captured by a sensor. An unmodified capture of light from reality is a photo. A bunch of bits made to look like a capture of light from reality is a manipulation.
One is a 'photo' of something that actually happened (photo session in which she actually stood in front of a flag), and the other is a 'photo' of something that didn't actually happen (flag added later).

But, but ... they're a big company, they MUST know how to do things. After all, a big company never fails, but a lot of small ones do.

Evolution has never been offered so large a pile of meat as the human race.
Those are traditionally referred to as 'nightmares'.
