Surveillance of a public road is one thing but a citizen has a right to "face their accuser". In the case of the IRS the data was analyzed by a person prior to bringing accusation. The speeding camera...probably not. If I challenge the accusation who will I be facing in court? Many cities categorize speeding camera tickets as a civil instead of a moving violation skirting the Constitution in the process. In these cities my right to face my accuser has been removed. How is a speeding ticket not a moving violation? I'm not disagreeing with your premise just showing you one of the ways the government is manipulating the outcome.
The dawn of television ushered in programs that were idealistic and meant in large part to inspire Americans to be more like Ward Cleaver. What it did instead was thoroughly demoralizing the family since those ideals were nigh impossible to attain. It now displays some of the worst examples of humanity in an attempt to boost American's self esteem by showing them they are not, in fact, that bad compared to Honey Boo Boo's mom. I watch cooking and home improvement shows.
Wasn't this one of the primary uses of IRC/Gopher/Telnet/eMail/listserv back in "the day"? I know that's the only way I would have ever gotten NT 3.51 installed on a few of my systems. I had 4 identical machines but the memory timing was off on 3 of them just enough to give the NT installer fits. Ended up turning off caching to get it to install. It took 8.5 hours but it worked. Once installed re-enabled caching with no problem.
Yeah, There is a lot of hype around DOTA 2 but I figured it wasn't meeting Valve's expectation when they started handing out multiple copies to anybody who had ever shown an interest. I had already purchased a copy and they gave me and my son's account 4 more each to hand out to friends.
The CSRG was funded by DARPA while they created BSD while Linus was creating Linux gratis. So I would say there was probably very little ideology in the BSD license. Probably just a memo from DARPA.
You need to collaborate to ensure everyone is on the same page and going in the same direction but you don't need to do it M-F 9-5. In fact, the more you collaborate the less time you have to execute.
Actually that is not such a bad idea. The petition, not the appointing of lips. A petition to have the towers and spectrum changed to a single regulated entity that doles out service while the carriers provide that service to customers. It would mean the nation (the US in this case) could standardize on a single cellular implementation of LTE and allow my new shiny phone to work regardless of what carrier I choose. (there are currently upwards of 45 different implementations of LTE worldwide) Perhaps the FCC could take the role since they are already in charge of the spectrum.
Not just pro athletes but entertainers in general. Perhaps a tax on the entertainment industry that would go towards grants for science. I mean the recording industry gets to tax blank media because it might be used to copy media illegally. And certain vices get sin taxed to fund recovery programs and what not. Why not a mind numbing tax for certain entertainment avenues to go towards reversing the dumbing down of the average person?
We discourage the students who aren't cut out for secondary school from enrolling in the first place.
Quite right. I mean just think...If Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Frank Lloyd Wright, James Cameron, or Mark Zuckerberg hadn't been wasting the college's time and energy they could have trained someone who would be able to succeed in the modern world.
the parent said something about sweeping the land and taking all vegetation with it.
editorialize much?
All the moaning about genetically modified food seems to forget that we've been meddling with the genetics of our food since prehistoric times.
There is a substantial difference between genetically modifying something and cross-breeding. cross-breeding happens naturally all the time where genetic modification not so much. I believe nature is self healing in most respects and as such the scenario I put forth would be almost impossible with simple cross-pollination. I simply put forth a scenario whereby the genetically altered species might be able to propagate it's genetic alterations into other crops to the detriment of that species. I would label that an "unwanted side-effect".
First define "unwanted" and then tell me how you determine them without them actually happening? Let's say for instance they cross pollinate with another crop and sterilize that crop as well. Which in turn cross pollinates ad nauseum until there are no fertile seeds. Far fetched perhaps but not unthinkable.
can the Z10 run arbitrary software, written by anyone, and obtained by downloading a file directly from somebody's website, without having to get permission from anybody besides the owner of the phone?
Yes. Of course you could always do that with your BlackBerry unless it was connected to BES with a policy set against such a thing. With BB Balance in BES 10 that is no longer a problem since you can install your rogue app on your personal space.
The average manager is far more interested in having workers they can feel power over and bully than they are in anything else,
This can be compounded if the manager is a poster person for the Peter Principle. While I was going to school for my CS degree I worked at the main Compaq campus. In a very short time I became one of the fastest prep persons on the line. I was getting kudos then I went and asked my manager if there was anything more I could do as I was working through school and was eager to use my new skills. I was too naive at the time to understand the look of horror on her face or why I was let go the next day. I later realized that because Compaq had grown so quickly during that time many of the supervisors were former line workers that got promoted.

At least Valve lets you trade their games within Steam. If you can't trade any other games it is the publisher's decision not Valve's
Go ask the guys over at Microwulf. They appear to have licked this particular challenge and link to others who have as well.

I thought it was funny when I read it but damned if somebody out there isn't playing Jumanji!

Reminds me of a poster we had in one of the labs I worked at.
There comes a time in the life of every project when you must shoot the engineers and begin production!
Because I said so!
Your argument is invalid.
You forgot about hiding a subscription model inside micro-transactions and day one paid DLC.

you mean like this or this?
Obligitory
Looks more like a case of cyberharassment to me.
Were you referring to the emails or the comments on /.?
The CSRG was funded by DARPA while they created BSD while Linus was creating Linux gratis. So I would say there was probably very little ideology in the BSD license. Probably just a memo from DARPA.
I would agree with you if not for the growing trend of collaborative spaces in the IT industry.

You obviously haven't been paying attention to the growing trend in the educated population to not procreate.
The correct answer is: build support, get into government, change the laws.
Yes, because that is exactly how we got the United States of America and civil rights...Oh wait!

You mean Windows Blue (yeah I'm kinda thinkin they shoulda stayed away from anything associated with BSOD) the new subscription based OS?
