This is the root problem with our party structure now. "Progressivism" boils down to "change", "Conservatism" boils down to "don't change". The Democrats can't agree on what to change, the Republicans agree to refuse to change despite the fact that the course we're on leads straight off a cliff. Our choices are herding cats or herding stone statues.
Except that Republicans like McCain actually stood up and said "whoa whoa whoa let's not get too hasty with this Constitution thing, what if our guy feels like he needs to violate it too? Let's not do anything that might hold our guy back."
I've got a mark on one finger where I learned as a kid that 100W lightbulbs can be very hot even when they're turned off. It does seem that fingerprints heal better from cutting than burning.

This is slashdot, those of us with proxies at home can make them work with https if we wanted them to.
Actually, the cost of labor is miniscule next to the costs imposed by liberal tree hugging ecoterrorists that get all pissy when you dump all your toxic mine tailings and acidic processing wastes in the local river rather than burying them back underground where you got them.
That's not bad because it's throttling, it's bad because it's *lying*.
If I offer to sell you a stab in the face, it's not bad because I'm telling you the truth? Or, perhaps you might think being stabbed in the face is a suboptimal condition, therefore you wouldn't want to enter into the contract.
I went to arxiv.org and picked a dozen or so papers from the "new" list and clicked their other format links. They're available in pdf, ps, and dvi formats. This is hardly a complete analysis since I don't have any access to the "real" journals, but I have to wonder how many journals and universities are demanding papers in ebook format.
Open Source generally scratches itches. You may be one of the first people with the itch of converting theses to ebook formats.
I have four issued software patents myself, all in areas where the existing technology didn't work but mine did.
So your software did ONLY new things, and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that someone else did before?
You invented a completely new data storage system, display system, input system, processing system, operating system, help system, feedback system, purchasing system, and so on, and you still only managed to get 4 patents?
But now the thin edge of the wedge is in place. Having been on the jury in a criminal trial where the attorneys spent half the trial trying to argue over definitions, you can be sure that somewhere, someone in a harassment case will whip out this definition and attempt to convince the jury that posting pictures of someone else is harassment.
that is why they don't offer any type of indemnification to parties who choose to bet on the codec.
No, they don't offer any type of indemnification because patent trolls file bullshit patents like claiming a "buy now" icon in your app infringes on a patent regarding two-way customer feedback. At this rate, whoever has that patent on amusing a cat with a laser pointer has a solid case against WebM. It's impossible to defend against all the bullshit.
If the patent system wants to continue down this road, then the patent laws need to be revised that if anyone brings a patent case against someone, and they're found to not infringe on the patent, the patent holder owes double the defense's court fees and lawyer costs. Triple if the plaintiff tries to bail out after a Markman Hearing told them their patent doesn't mean what they want it to mean, and there's no way in hell that it's being infringed on.
All's fair in love and war, but an American citizen performing acts of war against Americans is half of the definition of treason ("shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort").
I get what seems to only be notes about changes made throughout it?
That's how bills work. There's a huge blob of text (the United States Code), the bill is basically a patch to that USC, so you have to get out the entire USC and apply the bill to it in order for it to make complete sense.
The first change made is adding "Whoever knowingly conducts, or attempts or conspires to conduct, a financial transaction (as defined in section 1956(c)) in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowing that such transaction will facilitate access to, or the possession of, child pornography (as defined in section 2256) shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both." (It is interesting to note that growing your own pot in your own backyard for your own use is "affecting interstate commerce" so this will almost certainly be used against everyone touching kiddy porn whether there was any kind of trade or financial transaction at all)
The second change is to change the money laundering laws to add kiddy porn and facilitating access to kiddy porn to the list of "specified unlawful activities" covered by money laundering.
Third, the "Required disclosure of customer communications or records" is updated to require that ISPs track which user is assigned which IP address when, for 18 months. And that it is the "sense" of Congress that the records "should" be stored securely.
Fourth, "No cause of action shall lie in any court against any provider of wire or electronic communication service, its officers, employees, agents, or other specified persons for providing information, facilities, or assistance in accordance with the terms of a court order, warrant, subpoena, statutory authorization, or certification under this chapter." is changed to "No cause of action shall lie in any court against any provider of wire or electronic communication service, its officers, employees, agents, or other specified persons for retaining records or providing information, facilities, or assistance in accordance with the terms of a court order, warrant, subpoena, statutory authorization, or certification under this chapter." This goes from "you can't sue your ISP because the government forced them to tattle on you" to "you can't sue your ISP because they stored information on you, or because the government forced them to tattle on you".
Fifth, storing information on you is further disallowed as a cause for civil action.
Sixth, federal marshals are given the power to issue administrative subpoenas regarding "unregistered" sex offenders. The subsection referred to describes various sex offenses that subpoenas may be issued for, but does not define what makes someone an "unregistered sex offender".
Seventh, additional laws against harassing child witnesses. As part of this, it includes this fascinating nugget:
(2) For purposes of subparagraphs (B)(ii) and (D)(ii) of paragraph (1), a court shall presume, subject to rebuttal by the person, that the distribution or publication using the Internet of a photograph of, or restricted personal information regarding, a specific person serves no legitimate purpose, unless that use is authorized by that specific person, is for news reporting purposes, is designed to locate that specific person (who has been reported to law enforcement as a missing person), or is part of a government-authorized effort to locate a fugitive or person of interest in a criminal, antiterrorism, or national security investigation
Eighth, additional levels of sentencing are mandated.
Ninth, additional punishment is added if the kiddy porn showed someone under 12. (sorry, getting bored of chasing down all the original rules)
Obviously there won't be warrants, the entire reason for pushing the ISPs to log this stuff is because the conservatives at the SCOTUS have already declared time and time again that once the government gets someone else to collect the information, it's no longer protected by the 4th amendment.
What's different here is that the glow requires a trigger (the antibiotic). Their plan is to implant genes that cause, say, cystic fibrosis (picked totally at random, not sure what human diseases they could give a dog) in a dog embryo. The dog is born and grows up healthy, then when it's time to test a cystic fibrosis drug, they give the dog cystic fibrosis by giving them the antibiotic. Essentially, a way to test treatments for genetic defects when those defects would probably kill the subject before you could try treating them.
It could be true that everyone was above average except one person who is so bad it drags the average below the level of everyone else. They would have to really suck though.:)
If 100 people take a test and 99 people score 100%, it only takes the one person left to score 99% to drag down the average slightly, but enough to make everyone else "above average".
What good is toiling away in obscurity making great films that nobody will see, and dying in poverty?
He toiled away making great films that everyone saw, and got rich, so he stopped and let other people sell toys and books for him.
When he finally decided to go back and milk the cow again after 16 years (during the last 10 of which he directed nothing and produced only The Last Crusade and Radioland Murders), there was only a skeleton and a bit of leather in the corner of the shed. That didn't stop him from trying anyway.
It's not solar based. It's temperature based. Even if the ground gets cold at night, as long as the upper atmosphere is colder, the not-as-cold-air will still rise.
Seems like I'm running across more and more stuff that hides in the Task Scheduler's "At log on" tasklist. Not many people seem to think to look there, and it doesn't appear to show up in a registry search (unless its one of those {21232f5a1-0b51-521... keys, instead of "task scheduler").

Down here in the south, we solved that with "y'all". And its plural "all y'all".

They're no longer ablated by the contract any more than you are.
Do you normally use sandblasters as contracts?
Technically only if your drunk friend is a minor.

There exists a dedicated Twitter account indexing most, if not almost all, people threatening other to death. Police doesn't do a thing with it.
Well, maybe if they made the damn thing in English, Texas cops could do something with it.
It could be true that everyone was above average except one person who is so bad it drags the average below the level of everyone else. They would have to really suck though. :)
