They can't; they were replaced by the Bush administration in January of 2001. Clinton had a prosecutor shoved up his ass almost from the get go... and the worst they found was him lying about getting laid more than he should have.
The Bush administration could not survive one one-hundredth the investigations that Clinton endured.
The worst that Clinton did was soil some skanks dress.
The FISA courts have existed since the 70s and have passed judicial review of their constitutionality. But, I thought judges weren't qualified to make these kinds of decisions.
The problem is precisely the LACK of a patent system for this type of scenario. This drug shows exactly what would happen WITHOUT a patent system Actually, it shows what happens when patenting a different drug is an option.
The fact that there IS a patent system in place and that this drug can NOT be patented is why nobody is looking at it.
The story would be a bit different if there were NO patents for ANY drugs.
no one would have an incentive to develop and test new drugs, because anyone else would copycat without the upfront costs, and win therefore win the price war. There would be incentive if every drug were treated the same (no monopoly due to pantents). Just look at the supplement market to get an idea... Lots of people make vitamin C supplements (for example). And it isn't because of patents.
It is because of this little thing called "competition".
Years ago - when I signed up it was "free e-mail for life" - nothing was mentioned about being forced to view ads Maybe if you used the same email client today as you did back then... you would not see the ads.
DNSmasq is actually pretty broken when it comes to providing DHCP services for certain (mainly embedded type) clients - Google for problems associated with the XBox, network printers, etc, etc.
I'll take your word on that.
I only use it, and was only suggesting it be used for... DNS.
Tho... if it reliably hangs Windows machines... that could come in handy as a tar pit like mechanism for keeping the boogers off my network.
think about running an old pc as dns server which in turn forwards requests to the dns servers of your provider I run dnsmasq on my router... no old pc needed.
(Then again, all my computers run some form of *nix so I don't have the problem. Just mentioning that you don't need a separate pc for dns.)
When it comes to porn, I'm no slouch and I can count the number of times I've seen sites that give you free access after entering a captcha on one hand.
One hand eh?
Guess we don't really need to ask how you know this...
That's okay, but the problem is that those "dependendies" aren't being revealed until the product breaks in production. And by then the damage has already been done.
Actually, they break in pre-production. That is why it is supposed to be exactly like the production system...
It is VITAL that each environment is set up the exact same way, or as close as possible, to every other environment. Each one should have its own separate hardware running identical software versions - unless you are testing software upgrades, in which case you FREEZE THE CODE, update Development, then QA, the Pre-Production, then Production (testing everything, everywhere), and THEN resume writing your code again. It is incredibly frustrating for a developer when code works on servers A, B, and D, but breaks on C and E due to non-matching hardware and software.
I like for the pre-production and production environments to be as close as possible.
But...
I like the dev and testing environments to be different from each other... and from the production environment.
I've found that doing this helps me shake out some "dependencies" that I may not have thought about.
Taking care of those "dependencies" helps me write code that is easier to move to another environment if the customer wants to upgrade their systems.
Rob Biederman tells Ars that AT&T's IPTV system is "neither cable, nor is it a telecommunications service." and
AT&T planned to upgrade its network in Geneva and said that the city could of course conduct zoning oversight of the process, but could not halt it (cities cannot stop ordinary network upgrades). On the one hand he seems to be saying this is something "new" that doesn't fall under existing laws. On the other hand, he says it is a network "upgrade".
Seems to me an "upgrade" would be to an existing network that was regulated by existing laws...
Unused minutes roll over as long as you keep it up to date... and every time I've bought the card I've also gotten some kind of promo which adds minutes. Right now you get 250 "units" for ~$100 and don't have to worry about "updating" your account for a year (the year is what you are really paying for... not the minutes).
So... having owned the phone for about four years, and using it all of ten minutes in those four years... I still have almost all of my minutes left.
That ought to last me a century or two...
If you don't talk much (like me) this is the lowest yearly cost I've been able to find and still be able to yak as much as you need for important stuff.
If you just want to chat... well... I can't relate.
Microsoft asserts that commercial virtualization systems are not mature enough for broad use, yet such systems have had far more real world use than Vista has had.
You have to remember what true hubris is.
Their product is immature... and not ready for prime time... therefore all others must be even worse off.
Because MS knows their product is allways "best of class".
Up until the 4th edition, UNIX In A Nutshell had a very good section on Text Formatting, which had lots of material on troff/nroff, including preprocessors like tbl, pic, and eqn.
Don't know which edition mine is. It was printed in 1994 and has all of that tho...
Still, I can find that info online... or on my system in the form of man or info pages.
Slashdot Mirror
Because you made a serious mistake fucking with a "computer dude" when you can't do your job without a computer.
That is the problem with jerking someone's chain... you are on the other end of the chain.
Hey, Cheney! Is that you?
I didn't realize slashdot was an "undisclosed location"...

Many more have suffered from Bush's actions.

The Captcha is no longer an image and therefore not a resource they can download and process.
Err...but the HTML captcha is a resource they can download and process.
Not without getting the whole page you can't... that is the point.You still need to separate the captcha from the rest of the page.

Although chances are if you're using Perl CGI it's probably not.

Unless you meant "instead of mod_perl"... I call troll.
Hell, I call troll anyway...
Let the language wars begin!

Shame on us! Shame!!
I'm ashamed to live in a country where so many idiots are in positions of authority.

Yeah but that would dry up one of MS's many revenue streams! How's that?
Which MS product doesn't need fixing?
Their entire business model is based on making people think that finally this stuff will work!
Heck, the human brain is 70% water, does that mean the head is "pretty much" like a 1/3 empty coffee pot?
;-)
I code for a living.
My head is very much like a 2/3 full coffee pot...

Of course you need to dig up a Commodore and an 80 column monitor...
;-)
You say that as if it were hard to do.
I can find a C64 w/ tape or floppy drive & monitor in my house a lot easier than I can find a machine running Windows.
Of course, I'd rather find something that would run on one of my Amigas instead...
Seems like you can choose to "break the law" by trying to get legitimate copies... or you can break the law by getting copies that are not so legit.
If both are "illegal"... why should someone choose the more expensive method?

How is that different from how we do it now?
Everything else I can look up online, or check out from a library.
And what is in that book you can't look up online?
(I have the book and haven't looked at it in at least a decade.)
