Nowhere in the linked story does it say the publicized statements were not made by speakers at the meeting.
Other stories on the subject stated that there was opposition to a fourth solar farm, but still reported the silly statements made by citizens in the comment portion of the meeting.
The internet emphasized the stupid statements made at the meeting, but did not get them wrong.
When buying a house, you are gambling that the value will go up ONLY if you plan to flip it in the future and are treating it as an investment. If your intention is to live in the house for the rest of your life and then will it to your kids, you aren't concerned with making +2% year over year so your "investment" has grown when you cash out.
They have found a non-exploitable strategy, not a maximally exploiting one.
This strategy will win less from an imperfect opponent than a strategy which maximally exploits that opponent's weaknesses. However, there is no strategy which can exploit a weakness in the strategy they have developed.
The same speed-above-all sensibility which led to a one-off memory allocator and use of inlined assembly code would not permit wasting time zeroing memory before or after use.
In the 1.x line, the flip side of using this setting is that when you de-minimize FF it takes 30 seconds or so for the window to reappear as it reacquires the 400 MB it discarded when you minimized. Has this behavior changed?
I love reading dozens of posts screaming BARRATRY at the top! Does anyone know in what decade the last barratry case against a large corporation was heard? How about the last one to reach a verdict? The last one that the large corporation lost? IANAL, so I don't know these things.
Do you feel that having that amount of vacation, and those working hours, are a sign of personal weakness in and coddling of the people working under those conditions?
I confess, I didn't read the article, and didn't read the patent. Are multiple computers required under the terms of this patent? I wrote password-protected multiple choice test software for a university in 1976. The test software and information resided in a specific directory of the mainframe (server). The tests were taken by students at dumb terminals (which of course had chips in them). If it qualifies, I think 23 years previous would count as "prior art"...
The whole point is that you treat it like any other removable media on a Mac--you put the disk in, an icon shows up. You drag crap to the "disk", it shows up. You drag stuff from the "disk" to the trash, and you can throw it away. You drag the "disk" to the Trash, and you're given the option of burning or aborting. Just one extra step from any other removable media on a Mac.
Yep, dragging a removable disk full of files I want to keep to the trash is the most comforting and intuitive thing I can think of doing. Anyone would intuitively know that dragging it to the trash is how you save it.

The USPTO doesn't care anymore. They want someone to challenge a claim and go find it, rather than having the examiners look for it. Examiners are rated on how many patents they process and how many they approve, I believe.
PLATO had this in the mid to late 70s. Burroughs mainframes had this in the early to mid 70s. I wrote software in the late 70s to do this on mainframes. The prior art is likely older than the examiner who let this by.
Powerball recently changed the game to up the top jackpot odds from ~80M:1 to ~120M:1. Jackpots will likely get bigger, more often. And the point of +EV on a bet will be seen less often.
I agree. I received a letter yesterday informing me that I had won a class action suit against a credit card provider. I didn't know there was a suit. I didn't know I was a member of the class. I received a $0.17 credit to my card. I'm guessing the attorneys got a bit more than that.
I think this is particularly important in light of the rented vehicles that were used in bombing both the World Trade Center (in the 90's) and the Murrah building.
If we don't put tracers on rental vehicles, Then The Terrorists Will Have Won.
Regardless of the propriety of using GPS to track rental cars, this Because Of The Terrorists reflex disgusts me. It is a replacement for thinking. It's more insidious than We Must Do It For The Children, if such a thing is possible.
The fact that you think they give a shit that you were at a strip club is ridiculous. They just want to recover their car in case your trip to the crack whore house gets it jacked.
OK, so why did they have a list of the hotels one renter stayed at?
I don't know for America but everywhere else, looser is paying the costs of trial. So that makes either that you're wrong, or America has stupid legal system.
ALGOL60, and later, ALGOL68, were seminal languages in computer science. Think of them as the grandparents of C, PASCAL, and most other block-structured 3GLs.
Several variants of ALGOL60 are still in use on UNISYS(Burroughs) mainframes as the systems and database programming languages. These systems, going back to the B5500 in the 1960's, had and have no assembler. The entire OS, database system, transaction processing monitor, etc etc are all written in ALGOL variants. The underlying hardware is stack-based, and runs these languages natively and very efficiently. The hardware and language were designed together. The infrastructure includes dynamic one-way and multi-way linking of libraries, run-time procedure selection (which the OS uses to install interrupt handlers, etc for whichever version of the hardware it is running on), preemptive multithreading and multitasking, multiple processor support, and hardware memory bounds checking (buffer overruns are impossible). There are PC-sized and now laptop-hosted versions of the hardware.
Nice stuff to use. Too bad they couldn't market Jesus on a stick.

I suggest you post links to the statistics.

and the lack of natural disaster opportunities (no hurricanes or seismic activity is a bonus)
Which state is that I recently read about which recently had massive destructive floods and deadly tornadoes cutting through boy scout camps?
Those were the good old days.

Think of "high" as comparative. It has to be higher than something else, so it must be the real 2.0.
Think of "full" as full of shit, like the USB forum. Since it's full of shit, it must be 1.1.
Nothing to it.
OK, I give up. What are the "legitimate business reasons" for operating an open relay?
It was one pair of eyeballs short for the last 15 years.

I'll take door #2.
