The potential ecological disasters created by such a massive shale extraction operation just ain't worth it. Monterey is surrounded by one of the most beautiful and ecologically diverse coastlines in the world, and they want to jeopardise it to get some short-term, supporting an industry wihich is basicallty like America's crack dealer, and every year seems to report record profits. Wat?
It's the 21st century and we're still having these sorts of conversations about oil? Christ almighty, find another source of energy already, or consider slgihtly changing your behavior. If for nothing else, do it for the children.
With the rise of Google Fiber and increasing usage via legitimate services such as Netflix online (not to mention what happens when 4K kicks in, arguably within 5 years?), HULU, and HD video conferencing, this prediction looks to be terribly off-base.
No, no. This is just some idiot CEO for an awful company completely misunderstanding the nature of his own business and making and horribly inaccurate and hamfisted prediction.
Then again, he probably makes 500 times what I make, so I guess he must be doing something right!
Under usual copyright terms you should be able to legally download the.flac version of any CD you own as a personal backup. Hell, just throw out the bloody CD, FFS!
Well thank goodness the stock market is such an accurate gauge of a company's fiscal health and true value (right Facebook?) It's all rational investors making carefully considered trades in an open and transparent marketplace.
This observation deserves beaucoup points. More and more we live in a world where headlines and press releases are treated as news, accepted prima facie without much vetting or scepticism, a lot of it propagated by websites trying to generate clicks. Slashdot for one is certainly not blameless in this racket. Digging a little behind this story, does it mention how many people have stopped using WhatsApp since the buyout? Fairly mum about that, but pretty sure theyr'e still counting those people too.
Like so much in IT, it's hard to tell what's what and what's not.
She was well within her power (and right) to let common sense prevail and dismiss the case outright. Instead she took the spineless route and upheld this farce, summarily judging this child to be guilty of disorderly conduct.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." In this case she did more than nothing, she actually perpetuated this travesty - a chain of awful, mewling officials "just obeying the law" - and gave it a legal seal of approval in an official act of cowardice. That is what she did.
If someone runs across the street to save a child about to run in front of a car, would you then deem it necessary for hat person to be fined for jaywalking? Because I know just the judge. And people wonder why the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Because the legal system is plagued with officious fucks like this.
Even though there's a name and history for it doesn't make the ruling any more satisfying: "we're letting him go, but don't get the idea that we want to, it's just because we're not willing to make any sort of actual decision about it." But IANAL and all that shit, so what the hell does my opinion as a concerned citizen matter? Best to leave these sort of things in the hands of experts and I will get back to being a tiny gear.
Bloomberg has a valid point. It's also the reason most people can't be fashion models ("he's so hot right now").. There is also something to be said for nerdly predispositions and interests, which goes a long way in determining whether someone can become a successful coder.
On a more general note, Bloomberg has struggled far more to "earn" his billions and has seen far more of the world than Zuckerberg, who in turn strikes me as an incredibly naiive, deer-in-the-headlights, I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing-here, I-just-won-the-nerd-lottery sort of person: his proclamations simply don't carry that much weight.
Slashdot Mirror
1. Dealing with a wide array sockets and dongles.
2. Freelancing more remunerative but far more risky.
3. Constantly worrying about viruses and having to conduct frequent screenings.
4. Coping with strange end-user requests.
5. Getting fucked by clients AND bosses.
Who said the world was fair? Rules and laws only apply to those too meek to resist.
Mark my words: the worst that happens to Verizon is a finger-wagging and maybe a slap-on-the-wrist fine.

I doubt anyone will notice.
Every analyst knows how and why stocks drop 3% after good news. You don't.

If you have absolutely no idea how the stock market works, don't post about the stock market.
If Wall Street followed your advice 95% of analysts would be out of a job.

As for the action taken by the school, one really has to wonder as to what kind of cretins make up the school administration.
Those who can, do; those who can't, teach; those who're cunts, administrate.

I have the very special CHP 11/99 "Gold" plate, gets me off for up to 5 vehicular homicides.
Affluenza claims another victim. Can nothing be done?!
I could fund a trip to Mars with that kind of cash!

That amount wouldn't even pay for snacks.
