Just because you're poor doesn't mean you have a bad credit rating.
Yet ranking wealth is exactly what credit ratings purport to do. A credit rating is a combination of one's credit worthiness (paying bills on time, not defaulting on loans, not bouncing checks) and one's wealth, represented by cash flow. No responsible bank is going to give a $200,000 loan to somone who earns $10,000 a year no matter how fastidiously they pay their bills.
A funny side note - I recently took a one-way flight and my girlfriend and I were fully searched multiple times. However, if you think about it - people that purchase one way tickets a few days in advance are probably the last ones to worry about!! Instead, I say, be concerned about the passenger that supposedly has it "so together" that they purchased tickets (round trip or otherwise) months in advance... after all, a real terrorist is not going to leave it to chance that he can get a flight on a certain plane a few days in advance.
Ok, I'm going to string two vocabulary words together here people: specious heuristics . They're the main reasons even the most psychotic conservatives should oppose these kinds of initiatives. I mean, really, fascism is fun and stuff, 'til it happens to you. (see: Germany, Nazi)

Number 8 is Qatar??? That's pretty damn unilateral. When you're thumping your chest, counting your allies and your number eight backer is Qatar you're in deep shit. Hell, number seven on your list is Kuwait, oh yeah, like they'd dissent on this issue. If "unilateral" gives you problems how about calling it:
The U.S. justifies attacking Iraq because Iraq has violated UN resolutions. At the same time the U.S. cries that if the UN doesn't give it the go ahead to attack then the UN risks becoming irrelevant. How can the U.S. argue in good conscious that it has the moral right to enforce the UN resolutions without the blessing of the UN? That's shameless vigilantism, and it's pretty clearly wrong.
I'm just a few more years, a little more disposable income, and a massive emotional breakdown away from buying one of these sweet little machines... (wow, I can finally say that about a product that -isn't- produced by Apple!)
The CIA does not, and is not allowed, to opperate within the borders of the united states. It may be the FBI or NSA that comes looking but CIA is strictly for international matters.
Wow, someone who actually believes this. You should be tranquilized, tagged, and returned to the wild so scientists can study your habits because you are a rare and fascinating aberration.
Here's a brief summary of what the Church Committee came up with in 1975: link. A few select quotes from the article sited:
the CIA infiltrated religious, media, and academic organizations.
the CIA engaged in drug experiments (the MK/ULTRA Project) against unsuspecting subjects (two of whom died from side effects).
intelligence agencies carried out burglaries in the homes and offices of suspected "subversives".
a CIA program to open mail to or from selected American citizens generated 1.5 million names stored in the Agency's computer bank.
Here's a fine page with many links to goverment documents such as the Church Committee's and the Rockefeller reports on CIA abuses within the U.S.: link
Now of course all these things are in the past, and the Church report defanged the CIA right? Right? Surely the CIA would never do that again... But it really doesn't matter, as the USA PATRIOT Act gives the CIA pretty much a free hand at intelligence gathering in the US anyway.
we measured a mere average 42fps and maximum fps around the 55...60fps mark.
Which might indicate that vsync is enabled, effectively capping the the max fps while lowering the average. Whenever I run a benchmark and it tops out at 60 fps and I suspect, as these guys did, that the machine should be faster, I always double check the refresh rate settings and vsync.
Using the language of the enemy means we've bought into their argument. Anyone with a positive bank account is against piracy, so let's please try to use language that best expresses our reasoned opinions.
Oh sure, the guys who sold him the information are all wrong, but not the guys who sold him these: link.
The killer's quote regarding one of his assault rifles: "I wouldn't trust it in a rampage." was posted on a public web page. If the information broker's culpable then the guy who sold the killer his handgun through the want ads should be equally so. Or do you disagree...?
This story is about a massive breakdown in the system designed to keep guns out of the hands of lunatics . That it happened to feature a novel twist involving privacy is why its on slashdot. That this disturbs your sensibilities enough to anonymously tell someone to "fuck off" makes me think that perhaps you, like the killer, shouldn't be allowed to have a gun or a post angry rambling online.
seller had no reason to suspect any wrongdoing, then I don't see how you can blame the seller for the crime.
Well, I think we can agree in this case at least, that the background check left something to be desired, and this guy was as loopy as a fruitcake.
Or the liquor store for selling someone that 40 of vodka they drank before running down someone in a drunk driving mishap.
This happens all the time. Liquor stores and bartenders (especially bartenders) are routinely questioned in drunk driving deaths. If a bartender sells someone a drink and then lets them get into a car when the bartender knows or suspects the customer is intoxicated the bartender and the estabilshment that sold the drink can be held negligent. Similary if a car dealership sold a car to someone who was plastered they'd likely be liable the second he got behind the wheel.
Regarding steak knives, well, I can think of substantial "non-infringing" uses for steak knives, like eating steak, or, apparently, sawing through soda cans then cutting tomato slices. Guns, particularly handguns, have a much more limited range of uses.
The murderer, who "kept firearms and ammunition in his bedroom", purchased information about where the victim worked from a company called Docusearch then proceeded to kill her, them himself.
The victim's estate goes after the search firm and wins. So we're to conclude that the selling of such vital information to the murderer is a punishable offense, at least in N.H. What about the people who sold him his guns? Seems to me that the weapon was at least as dangerous as the information, and each being fairly useless without the other.
Also, this guy "maintained a website containing references to stalking and killing Boyer".
They also turn their nose up to the community and the world, effectively becoming the closed-minded character that they try to call the real scientists: Real scientists submit their work to thousands of peers and accept feedback and analysis. Psuedoscientists do not, and yet they call the critical thinkers that reject their ideas closed-minded.
I have a very well though out and reasoned rebuttal which is perfectly formed and completely undebatable. Howerver I refuse to share this information with you because you're such a boob...
So what does that mean, that they can't still operate like a competitive company?
As strange as it may sound to you, the answer is "no", they can't act like their competitors. Microsoft, as a "proven molopoly" has lost the ability to act as freely as its rivals. The question of whether they can provide competitive products and services within the limitations (such as they are) of the antitrust decision is another mattter.
To use your colorful example, they are criminals that have been through the court system and have been given their punishment, which was basically a strong warning.
A strong warning, yes, plus limitations on the way they "market their products or attract new customers or developers", which used to be by force of monopoly. (IMHO not much has changed)
Hell yes I would want my kids to learn MS, since that will give them the most opportunities when they have to get a job.
Good for you, good for your kids, but why do you think learning MS systems would give them the "-most-" opportunities? Is it "because -everyone- uses MS"?

First liquor her up good on Mickey's big mouths, they're so frothy, it's like you can taste old Milwaukee in the foam.
Then put on some Floyd, or CCR, or whaterver you want. When she gets all hot take off her shirt. You can do it yourself or have her do it, then "push it out" to her. She'll do everything, even that little spinny thing...
Thte only thing that costs money in this solution is the Mickey's (if she doesn't have 'em in her fridge), other than that it's all free.
I would expect the liability (not necessarily legal liability, but personal liability) would be far to great to standardize on IE. Would you install IE on 50 desktops if you knew your job was riding on IE's security and reliability.
Also, for the poster, I'd just have someone do it. Burn all the installer files for whatever platforms you're supporting to a cd and carry it from station to stations. Or share it on a network and do a network install. You'd be surprised how fast you can do them all after you've got the first ten or so done. Seriously, a good tech could do this in an afternoon, or a day at most. Plus it's good for the soul.
Additionally, they are UFOs. The English scientist quoted in the article says they are overexposed planets, white NASA says they're comets or meteors. Until there is a consensus it's perfectly acceptable to call them UFOs.
