You could certainly make it a combination of technical and legal. For example you make it illegal to manufacture or import a laser of any but a handful of wavelengths. Then install filters for those wavelengths over the cockpit windows. Yes it won't stop everything. But the vast majority of lasers are commercially purchased. If you can't purchase one that will get into a cockpit, problem solved.
For the ass-hats who insist on building their own and proceed to point it at airplanes and cars, well we can start with two to four charges of assault and go on to three hundred cases of attempted first degree murder. Followed up by a couple hundred civil lawsuits. Not only can they spend the rest of their lives in jail, but they will be bankrupted as well. If they happened to be married -- until their spouse gets a divorce -- joint property for the win. Go ahead and make the wife and kids homeless.
There is no rational reason why a civil society should have to put up with this kind of shit.
One would think that personal emails should not be mixed in with work product, no? If you are discussing -- via email -- how to clean up your data with a colleague because your results are not matching with your intuition, the fact that you had that discussion is relevant to your research. The fact that you added a postscript passing along your wife's complements about what a wonderful time she had last night during your wife-swap doesn't make the email less relevant to your work, it's just poor judgement.
If going to previous versions of Xcode is acceptable, then just download the old versions. They are sitting there in the download area of developer.apple.com. You may have to be a registered and paid up member, but versions 4.5, 4.4.1, 4.3.3, 4.3.2, and 4.3.1 are right there on the front page of search results for Xcode.
This is the same thing we heard from the credit bureaus when the fair credit reporting act was enacted. The same thing we heard from many industries with the EPA & clean water acts.
For most things there is an upside and a downside. If most of the country doesn't think your upside out weighs your downside, then sucks to be you.
(BTW and off topic) If Apple really wanted to stick it to Google, then what they'd need to do is push for legislation similar to the FCRA only applied to online tracking.
So if the play store and maps are not part of android, then when comparing ios and android, those two things should be left out of the comparison. That was my point. On one hand people want to include things that give them an advantage in their arguments, but when things are a disadvantage they want to move their goal posts and say that that is not part of their position.
So you're going with the "Linux is better than Windows|Apple|FreeBSD!" and "Linux is just a kernel!" argument. You know back in the day where we'd be told in the same comment thread that Linux is a better web server/app server/database server, then when someone pointed out a short coming in some part of the system, some other dweeb would come along and say linux is just the kernel. (In which case Linux isn't good for anything because as a kernel Linux doesn't even have boot loading capabilities, nor a way to start up user land processes, etc.)
You've got to decide, either you get to argue user land features or you get to argue kernel. But it's quite dishonest to flip back and forth.
Hope the discs they are handing out include full source for all GPLed software. Because if they don't provide a location to get the source for what they are distributing they are in violation of the license.
(Note: I have enough money to defend thus suit all the way through trial without it being a severe financial hardship, so please do not give if it is a hardship for you. But, if you would like to make a contribution to help with the cause because you want to help stop people like this, then it will surely be appreciated!)
And it sounds like not only does have have that kind of money, but he has lots more too.
Yes, for their search farm they use custom, legacy free, bare bones systems. Because it doesn't matter if half a rack explodes at once and they lose 1% of their index. As long as they can deliver a result to search queries, they're golden. There's no right answer to a search, good enough is good enough.
It's tough to find cites now, but back in the beginning Schmidt made them buy of the shelf software for accounting and the like. Because it does matter if you get the right answer.
I don't know what you are smoking but NCQ isn't an acronym for "caching". It's native command queuing and what it does is allow your OS to have multiple commands inflight simultaneously. Which is a big deal and very helpful.
Not to mention Google doesn't have to provide a "right" answer. They can provide any answer that seems approximately correct. However for their accounting, payroll and tax systems I'd bet $20 that they use name brand servers running name brand OSes and name brand software.
After reading your post I see now exactly what you are talking about. A loophole is anything that you want to use to beat someone up with. Ok. Gotcha.
Unless you wrote the tax code, you have no idea if something is intended or unintended by the drafters. If something has gone on year after year and not been changed it's clearly the intended outcome. To claim otherwise is classic stupid.
Given that 300 pages were added to the PPACA in the early morning hours (2:00 AM or so) and at the time of the vote those changes were unavailable to Republican House members -- it was stored on a Democrat file server -- it is a bit absurd to say that anyone was in favor of that bill prior to it's being submitted in the house by their opponents.
Mitt Romney's tax returns are a completely different thing than Bain Capital's tax returns. And Bain Capital's tax returns are a matter of public record.
Romney has already released the legally required number of years of tax returns. If it's so important to see more then the law should be changed to reflect that.
Finally, in my opinion at least, yes, a candidate for president should have to prove their eligibility to hold that post. Their ethnicity has nothing to do with it. In fact, depending on the state, births and deaths are a matter of public record.
That's a really bad definition. If there is a rule that says:
Do activity A and pay a 15% tax, or Do activity B and pay a 10% tax.
Choosing activity B is not evading a rule or law. Otherwise we could accuse every single tax payer in the country of using tax loopholes. By which I mean, if you don't earn enough money to pay the highest tax bracket you must be using a loophole, right? If you claim the mortgage deduction you must be using a loophole.
Money is not taxed, entities are. Dollars don't get taxed at some checkpoint somewhere, thus becoming "depleted," tax liability is created when people or companies do things.
I guess if you can't handle the shorthand:
On the other hand dividends are paid from cash that a company has in the bank, all of which is accumulated through transactions that the company paid taxes on.
No you're not. Your paycheck is an expense and is deducted from your employer's gross revenue. Your employer only pays taxes on net profits, not their gross revenue.
On the other hand dividends are paid from cash that a company has in the bank, all of which has been taxed prior to being paid out as dividends.
You guys need to go learn more about investing, taxes, stocks, bonds, capital gains, and about a thousand other topics. What has been described in this subthread is not what is happening.
As to battery capacity, sure it lasts longer but that's due to the larger battery (check the specs).
Um, who cares why. If the fact is that the battery lasts longer then that's the fact. Does anyone actually do the research to find the device that has the most efficient battery usage rather than the device that will let them use it the longest per charge?
The old G5 Mac Pro workstations are still the better choice if you need number crunching because they're a true 64bit CPU unlike the AMD/Intel offering which is only 48bit capable. The 64bit support is only for (memory) address space.
Huh? You should do some research before you write your posts. Because this is wrong. Not in my opinion wrong, but in fact wrong.

You launch Xcode, go into preferences and there's a bit where you can download the various iOS SDKs. It's not hard.

Actually he says he does have that kind of money:

Odd. My SF dream world has Jessica Beil in garters, stockings and high heels and Scarlett Johansen in cuffs and a ball gag.

What have you got against a policy that says games will have multiplayer? Nothing in the "story" says there won't be single player content.
Um, who cares why. If the fact is that the battery lasts longer then that's the fact. Does anyone actually do the research to find the device that has the most efficient battery usage rather than the device that will let them use it the longest per charge?
