Oh Bullshit, GSK said that the Black Currant Berry Juice has 4 times the vitamin C as Orange juice does and that is perfectly true, then they let the clueless assume that that had anything to do with the vitamin C level in the delivered drink, which it didn't. They didn't lie technicaly, not in a lawyerly , a blowjob isn't sex sense, but they were preying on the stupid and the marketing dept deserves to be circumsised with a rusty nail. These clowns just don't get it, there are to many eyes and too many people that are connected, it the good old P. T. Barnum principal "You can fool some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time" and with the internet if you can't fool all the people all the time there is no sense in tring to fool anybody.
You should be allowed to pay more for a better connection, but we all know that will never happen; what will happen is each ISP has a fixed pool of bandwith that I'm paying to access and it will be divied up to the highest bidder which reduces the pool of "best effort" bandwidth. If Google wants faster access to my computer and pays for an OC45 into Comcasts Datacenter fine, that's not reducing the pool of "Best Effort".
Cinepaint handels deep color depths 8-32 and floating point as well as professional file formats that photoshop can't touch; but the real point is that actually learning the software is more likely to be better than learning to do narrow tasks with the software. Why be totaly indocrinated in one manufacturer's pipeline?
I assumed that what they were claiming is that System V's differences from the preceding systems were too trivial to warrent copyright protection. When you own copyright for all the code, maybe sys V is different. If I bought the rights to Winddows ME without the rights to Windows 98, it would useless. I've submitted patches to projects that were technicaly spelling or gramatical mistakes is that code ownable?
I think that a big part of the problem is the IP ownership trail has gotten so convoluted that, SCO doesn't have a clue about what they own and don't; and the value of the IP is less than the cost of straightening the mess out.
My stepson is a dyed in the wool, and school trained PSer, and I TOTALY blew him away by doing everything he could do in phototshop faster in GIMP; then for an encore I did everything faster than he could in photoshop. The real secret to both is learning the keyboard shortcuts, not the click-streams, the shortcuts are the same, the click-streams are different.
So if i compile and install all of those nifty GNU utilites on my OpenServer, does it become GNU/SCO openServer and the resulting paraddox cause the universe to implode?
Well in most cases what you have to do is actually read the law, most start out something like "it is illegal for anyone in the United States to...." and if that's the case your right the US can't impose jurisdiction; on the other hand if the law reads "it is illegal for anyone to...." and a SEAL team snatches your ass off the street in your country and when the blindfold comes off your in the United States your screwed! Don't forget if the US is going to spend that kind of resources on you, there are probably two or three other countries waiting in line for you.
if memory serves me correctly, e360 stated the spamhaus had an office in the United States,and without any further testimony from spamhaus, the court had to except that as true. Now if Silverstein's suit is successful, and e360 is convicted of a spamming charge, spamhaus can appeal and it will pretty much be a slam-dunk and might even get some damages.
The fucktards over at the RIAA would be better off to buy a 1/4 page ad in the college news paper and maybe donate some money to sponsor event in exchange for banner space and other general goodwill repair activity.
Well a diabetic, especially a type 1, can have so little insulin in their system that almost no glucose can get into their cells; sometimes they have so much that they run out of glocose. A woman that lived with us for a while was type 1 and when she got hypoglycemic she would get bizzare, once she just turned off. When EMS got to the house her blood sugar had dropped to 25. It wasn't unusual for her blood-sugars to hit extremes that would have put me in the hospital, yet leave her looking normal. So the answer is that a diabetic hits the extremes that a normal person on Adkins would not, but if drinking a little poison doesn't kill you, does that mean it's safe?
Well basically what Atkins tries is to push the metabolic pathways into an ineffeicant do-or-die mode by carbohydrate starvation. This pathway burns calories like they are going out of style resulting in dramatic unhealthy weight-loss, but generates ketone which are toxic. Certain organ like the brain, heart, liver and kidneys can be damaged. When we are faced with starvation going into ketosis in an attempt to allow the organism to live a little longer and maybe cheating death is OK and an exceptable trade, but its a steep price to pay for cosmetic reasons.
Halon isn't toxic, it actually mostly inert until the heat of a fire causes it to decompose; but this system in the article is a steady state system, it doesn't put out the fire, it doesn't let the fire start. The air in the data center isn't brought down to 15%, it's kept there permanently.
The Atkins diet is dangerous, in fact if people could actually accomplish its goals, there would have been more fatalities; ketosis is nothing to screw around with.
Actually the idea is that becuase the video was watermarked as it left your machine, when the MPIAA finds it in the pirate channels they can trace it back to the original file-sharer. Lets say the MPIAA finds 100 copies with the same water mark on P2P, search the 100 pirates equipment then find the one generating the watermark. Now they can sue 99 people for $250,000.00 for distributing 1 copy, and then 1 person for $250,000,000.00. The problem has always been proving that a P2P'er actually distributed the file, the MPIAA could claim that a pirate distributed 100's of copies, but could only prove that the one they downloaded was actually distributed.
Actually online sharing is only a drop in the bucket compare to burned disk trading in schools and factories anyways.
This is doomed to failure, basically they are going to put a few colored bits on the screen; the big-time pirates will just diff the two rips and crack the watermark. At worst they'll break it down into images run a image magick script on it and re-encode. They wouldn't even catch the factory-workers passing burned DVD back and forth with this scheme. the watermark will pretty much stop the clueless rater-reviewers from sharing with their friends before release date.
you know there is no reason why p0rn site couldn't do xxx.goatse.cx for the "premium" content and just goatse.cx for the stuff with the little stars over the genitals and nipples; that alone would be enough to make the "Gee honey I wasn't looking for porn on purpose, I must have made a typo" excuse pretty implausable.
Firstly it seems that you assume that a series of events that display apparent randomness as chaotic, and a series that has little randomness as non-chaotic, a chaotic system can be as regualar as any non-chaotic system under certain parameters. secondly as to causality;
If x is a sufficient cause of y, then the presence of x necessarily implies the presence of y. However, another cause z may alternatively cause y. Thus the presence of y does not imply the presence of x.Sufficient causes
It seems that there are just too many Z's in climatology for causality to ever be assumed; in fact, considering the time scales involved in climatology, is it even possible for humans to ever demonstrate that the computer models predict anything real with reasonable confidence?
OK I'll give you that Windows, running Office in a air-gapped network or a VPN through the public internet is just as secure as Linux, but in the real world there is not only access to the public internet but third party apps that refuse to run properly in a secure LUA environment; which blows Windows security all to hell. Also I don't see user training as a drawback either; most IT Guys would love users that knew what they were taught and only what they were taught
Well temperatures certainly have changed, and humans have been active, yet still there is a big stretch between causality and coincidence. We also know we had an ice age a while back and it'd about due to hit the warming peak any century now and then it'll start get back down to normal and on toward another ice age.
Locally our Greenwood Energy Facility (Greenwood is the name of the township in Michigan) is considered an Oil burning plant. Originally it was being constructed as a Nuclear power plant, but got changed in mid-construction to an Oil fired peaking plant which goes from a cold start to full production in less than a half hour. The "oil" comes in via pipeline from chemical valley in Canada and is waste oils from the petro-industry there that would probably have just been flared off if we didn't start buying it. When the oil burning power plants hit their end of life that'll be it for them except for a handful like Greenwood, so the reason is it's cheaper to use them than to replace them at least for a little while longer.
Boy have you ever touched an area of denial there. The Global-Warmingists will tell you with a perfectly straight face that weather is chaotic but climate is not, of course they can't tell you what "secret-sauce" does the magic.

People who sanely diet and sanely exercise tend to have much more long term success than people who do either alone sanely or insanely.
