Black's Law Dictionary may be more relevant than OED:
Libel: Defamatory statement published through any manner or media. If intended to simply bring contempt, disrespect, hatred, or ridicule to a person or entity it is likely a civil breach of law. However, if it causes mayhem or breach of peace, it can be a criminal breach of law. Yet, again, if the statement is newsworthy, even if defamatory, proof of benefit to the public is required to avoid criminal complaint.
Nowhere near the same number of students in the system. Same as in Detroit, Baltimore, etc. It's absurd to have the same number of physical buildings and mid to upper level managers for 50,000 students as for 100,000 students.
i'm so tired of all the vitriol spewed at apple for "stealing other people's work". they've innovated the hell out of the tech industry and you should be grateful you morons. just having an item or a concept isn't useful until it's affordable and easy enough for lots of people to use it without hassle.
There's a few problems. Foremost is that you are addressing people who are angry at attempts to change computers for the benefit of the average slob. If they were happy flipping switches on a panel (or pecking away at a keyboard illuminated by the green glow of their text terminal) then everyone should be. They want to 'keep it real'.
There are also sour grapes, some NIH, etc.
My favorite from 'them' is "Apple is just a marketing company" accompanied with "anyone could do what they do". Somehow they never are able to explain if it's "so easy" and obvious why did it take until Apple did it for someone to do it? When I pose that question, comments regarding my sexual prefence, my mother's sexual proclivity, and the possibility that my religious affiliation involves a certain fruit based organization are raised.
Maps? Google wasn't permitted to improve or do squat with the iOS map app until Apple kicked them off as a standard app. When Apple's maps came out, bad as they were, all of a sudden Google's map app came back improved and updated, with features that were only released on Android because they were now free of Apple's restrictions on what features they were permitted to implement on the IOS version of the app.
There, fixed that for you.
Google wanted to put turn by turn navigation in. Apple stopped them because they didn't want Google advertising on it.
noone is alone in hating software patents except the patent trolls. consumers and even software developers at large companies all hate them, thats why software patents are being eliminated country by country.
The whole point of that arrangement was to avoid sanctioning action that might actually lead to WWIII - the 5 veto powers were the 5 nations that had nuclear weapons.
Man, I so wanna steal a residential speed sign and hang it out my back window on the highway. It applies to police cars as well, right?
Police cars don't have to obey any of the normal traffic rules. I've seen police drivers do some monumentally dumb things in the UK.
It happens in the US as well. In thirty days, the state I live in is going to make talking on a cell phone without hands free an excuse for a stop (currently, it can be cited, but only incidental to a stop for another reason, such as, driving erratically.) Yet it's not unusual for me to see a police officer operating a cell phone (held to ear, not with a bt earpiece) and a laptop computer while driving. I've seen some use two cell phones at the same time. And follow speed limits, laws regarding signalling, etc, etc? Forget about it.

There are places in Boston where the thugs are quite Irish and white.

Possible, but unlikely: I heard this witticism a year before (according to Wikipedia) Eddie's pro career started.
A friend who played lacrosse in college had this to say: "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'".

Not a damned thing they can do about a hostile takeover. Sure, a poison pill, but sometimes that is worse.

Ahem, fixed that for you.

I bet the lead singer from Herman's Hermits couldn't care less about software patents.
HOSTS FILES FTW!!!!!
We finally know what account apk logs in under.
The whole point of that arrangement was to avoid sanctioning action that might actually lead to WWIII - the 5 veto powers were the 5 nations that had nuclear weapons.
Umm... No.
In 1946, considerably fewer than five countries had nukes. Hell, France barely had a country.
... against whom? the rebels or the saudis?
Noone with half a brain believes Assad is behind the chemical attack
WTF is it necessary to slander Herman's Hermits?
Wait... who the hell asked you to join in the first place?
Bloody Americans.
Given the use of the word 'bloody', I assume you're a UKian. In which case "I learned it from watching you!"
It's kind of hard to rebuild in an area where a nuclear bomb was dropped you know.
And yet at least two of the places where this has happened were able to rebuild, and quite magnificently, I might add.

Just put up the sign for the true limit.

He's probably a tralfamadorian, unfamiliar with human customs and just wanted to verify his studies of our species.
Nuff said.
FTFY. I'll be in my bunk.
However, it's apparent that readership is dropping, as people with half a brain continue to quit,
Bullshit, I'm still here.
Ike was just doing a 'grim and gritty' reboot of Smedley Butler.
Comparing him to trump should be considered an insult.
Don't worry, I'm sure Trump has been called much worse.
Leave Britney alone!
Having some trouble finding the stories now, but ISTR that librarians did something similar when the PATRIOT act was passed.
