The schools had nothing to do with Elian, it was all Reno. The school actually wanted him there, but Reno thought otherwise.
Schools are just in it to protect their own asses. If a kid beat up another kid at the school, then the school is liable. If a parent beat up the kid, then the school is doing a great service to the community. The administrator's don't want to be attached to anything that could prevent a promotion or moving to another job. It is really just sick.
Actually you're allowed to copy the phonebook in its entirety. In fact most phonebooks are just a complete rip off of the regular phonebooks. (If you don't believe me check for errors, they'll be similar. And check when you get the alternative phone books, it's always 2 or 3 months after the regular one.)
You cannot collect names otherwise. Think about it, where is a complete, public-domain copy of the list of number available? No where and the SBC's, QWests, and Verizons of the world have no interest in publishing such a thing. Feist v. Rural Telephone Service Company gave Feist permission and legal protection to COPY the other's phonebook, regardless of the others objections. There was simply nothing they could do. Since a phonebook cannot be copyrighted, there is nothing to prevent the direct copy, (minus the intro and conclusion material, which is copyrighted.) Read this to get more information.
But either way this is not an issue in this case, because both databases were generated independantly and not a copied, since CDDB did everything to prevent a copy of their free and open database from the start.
But the gray was sort of blueish gray. If you're color blind, the black and white picture would be all muddied, because you couldn't see all the shades of gray.
Err..no. Lucas has stated more than once he wants to do another special edition upgrade for the movies, since DVD can support a lot more features. He and his studio just doesn't have the time since they're making Ep II. Besides Ep I DVD is slated for late next year when Industrial Light and Magic have some time to update it add scenes, etc. Lucas always adds something new for each release.
There are only 4 pro-consumer justices on the court right now. They won't retire during this term, but "accidential" death is always a possiblity. The judges likely to retire are the 5 pro-business judges. They have been waiting for Clinton to get out of office to retire. Else, they'd be stuck being replaced by someone they don't like.
I'm running 2.4 as a host. I only tried to run linux 2.2 as a guest. I mainly use VMWare to run Windows 2000 to write documenation in Word for work. Sorry for the confusion.
It works fine, but is a little unhappy because it does not recongize the filesystem and spits out information asking if locking is ok or not. Kind of sucks, but other than that it works.

eedless to say, the reckless Russians say it's not a problem, while paranoid NASA is scared to death of anybody even trying.
Not reckless, just not at all afraid to die or try something new without going trough a committee. We were like that once, now we're too scared to even launch a shuttle with some cloud cover. The Russians don't look at space as some silly science experiment where everything must be controlled and no danger is there at all. They look at it as a frontier where we need to explore. You see it in their ship and rocket design. Everything is minimal and simple. Able to work in the coldest Siberian nights to the warmest Caspian days. The Mir wasn't completely designed as much as just built as needed. Just add things on as they went, and as long as nothing went wrong ( and even if it did) just went about their business. I say let the russians dock. We'll need to figure out if it can be done eventually, so it's better late than never! We can learn a lot more from them than they can learn from us.
Actually if each side was funded equally the competion would be fairer. If a callenger can spend as little as 50% of the money the incumbent can he is likely to upset the incumbent. The reason why this hasn't been born out in the recent years, is after the 1974 the system left incumbents with a lot more room to raise money (i.e they can do it throught their term). The fact is even more acute since TV time is really needed to win an election, and TV time costs orders of magnatude higher than radio or news paper. TV just wasn't that important in 1974. Name recongition doesn't count for squat when most people can't even remember their sentor or reps names, until an election comes up and there on TV every day.
The McCain/Fiengold bill is a start, but it is not enough. The campaigns must be payed for by public financing with free TV time and not allow outside contributions of hard or soft money. Outside money just stifles the debate. Ask your self why did GWBush not accept public money during the primaries? Because if he did have spending limits he would of been beaten senseless by McCain who could of spent just as much as he did.
Ummm, last I checked, it wasn't just economically impossible, it's technologically impossible. We can't yet sustain a fusion reaction.
No, we can sustain a fusion reaction. It just takes twice as much power to sustain then it generates. Fusion is here, unfortunatly it effciency is less than zero. Kind of sad isn't.
Also I don't believe that solar power relies on heat conversion. It takes excited photons, for something like the sun and slams them into a material with easily slammable electrons to create a voltage. And then uses the voltage to create power. They work in really, really deep space where it is really, really, really cold (if there is enough entergetic photons around that is.). They are also known to work in less cold places like Antartica.
You can add a secondary mailing address to your credit card. When the address is checked, it can be checked against that address as well as your billing address. It makes things easier to mail to work with and get around the problem of not sending everything home.
No, PGP had a much, much more novel approach to beating the laws. They printed out the entire code, bound it and then exported the book to Europe. It couldn't be stopped, because banning a book from being exported was a clear violation of the first amendment. When the book arrived in Europe they cut of the bindings and then used a scanner to converted it back into source code. I don't think that that will work in this case.
But since they did ask to have it broken and it was broken I wonder why they are still persuing it. I think that they have already committed to it, and have begun production long before they offered the challange. The challenge was just to get the most obvious cracks off the net and then sue those more active members into submissions. But since they asked for it to be broken I don't think they really have a leg to stand on. Just my thoughts.
It really only affect Active FTP sessions. Passive sessions really work without a problem with firewalls, because the connections and transfers are all done in band. If you want to save your self the trouble, just set all your FTP servers to passive only. No problem then at all.
On UN dues, you point is not technically correct. The US has not paid all of its dues, but does pay a few billion dollars (33% of the UN's total budget) each year. We don't pay a measely 10-15 million dollars out of protest of some projects started by the General Assembly. We don't have veto power in the General Assembly, so we normally get raked over the coals there. Countries such as Japan and Russia owe more money than we do.
The first amendment says you have the right to say things, but you never have the right to make someone else listen. Applied properly, censorship could even amount to a protection of our right to choose what we listen to. AFAIK, the FCC rules only apply to public broadcasts; if you really want to hear some censored material, there are plenty of ways to do that.
Except even with a TV and a Radio you have the right not to listen. Just use the free device known as the On/Off switch. That's right just turn the damn thing off. If you can't even take the time to teach your kids right from wrong, good from bad, reality from make believe, having the FCC tell media companies what should or should not be on TV is the least of your consern. Because your childern aren't prepared at all for the real world where everything isn't nice, homoginized, and safe. Unlimited time and unlimited patiencs is not needed. This is just an excuse because someone is wrapped up in the wrong things. Taking away someone's rights just because you haven't done your job or because you just don't think it's the correct thing to say on TV is no excuse.
Ever wondered why material like this is always on and broadcasters keep wanting to show it? Because it sells and gets viewers. If it didn't sell at all it wouldn't be on TV at all. The best way you can stop this stuff is to just boycott those stations that brodcast this material.
FCC has/is overstepping thier bounds. They are too conserned about regulating what is on TV/Radio and not conserned enough about doing their real job, making sure the spectrum is used efficently and that telecom companies aren't screwing the little guy by intentionally delaying access to their networks and stalling on the deployment of new technologies like DSL and HDTV. What is broadcast should not be their consern. Let the free market decided what is and isn't on TV. Censorship is never the answer.
He is right in a way. Movies do not see the flickers, because if you look at a single frame of film it is blurred, like taking a picture with long exposure and people move inside of it. It has transistion from the last frame, the current frame, and the nextframe all merged into one. The blurred goes away when the frames are played in sequence at the correct speed. The effect is moving pictures. If you take a frame of computer game, from a game there is no blur. Every single picture is sharp and crisp. To get a non-jerky motion to show you need to push a video game to at least 60 fps. The extra frames give a more fluid motion, because the eye cannot pick up each frame in its entirety, but sees parts of each frame and combines them into a composite picture of sorts. The effect is that the motion is fluid. Film doesn't need extra frames but computer games do.
Actually TRUSTe only guarantees that a privacy policy exists and it is linked from the front page. There is zero effort put into actually seeing that the policy is followed in any way shape or form. TRUSTe is basicly a fraud perpetuated by businesses to make customers feel safe enough to be screwed over in the end.
140 million of those accounts are multiple accounts by one or two spammers. They just keep creating accounts and creating accounts and either using to send spam or to fill their lists of people who want to receive spam and then selling the lists as no bounce back lists. Besides do you really believe that any of the information in Hotmail's accounts is actually correct. It is just a warehouse for the spam of the world.
Big companies would fight, drag their feet and generally be a pain in the ass. Small governments and orginizations would probably just pay out the correct bribe to get it done with.
Except the old way of genetic manipulation took a very, very long time and didn't produce any plant or animial that couldn't reasonably exist on its own. All the breeding and cross-breading of the past made certain, already present genes more dominate. If a number of plants produced larger fruits, then they would try to pass those genes onto as many other plants as possible, or if a horse was larger and stronger then the others the attempt would be made to create offspring of the horse that that had the same characteristics. There was no attempt to patent or control the resulting offspring. When did plants ever need to develop resistance to a man-made pesticide? They didn't, but Montoso added them to the plant. And since they "invented" this gene they can control the plant. It was never like this before. Worst of all the most popular genes are the ones that prevent reproduction, which cannot exist naturally, because if you can't reproduce your genes are forever removed from the world. They are only popular because they keep the profit flowing in, since farmers have to buy new seed every year instead of saving the seeds from last year.
Those graphs pretty much show that the two are equal running linux binaries, but BSD is faster in networking, which is generally accepted to be true. Besides, usually with things like quake3 the speed depends entirely on the through put of the graphics card. There are some graphs that show the celeron and athlon tied at q3demos because the graphics card cannot push enough pixels. See the bottom graph. And I wouldn't necessarily trust any graph from Walnut Creek, RedHat, Sun or even Microsoft. Remember they are just in this for the money. They are trying to push as many units as possible by making themselves look the best. Marketing crap at it's greatest.
By and large there will not be a major difference between the two platform, except when accessing devices, because they both execute x86 code, and no matter if the format is elf or not, there is only so many ways to generate code, especially if they both use the same compiler, gcc. Only system calls to the kernel are going to have a big difference.
The first kid was so worried about getting tracked, but he still wrote his document in word. He'll be tracked by Word's GUID and busted the same way the Melissa virus write was tracked. Oh well, it is good fiction.
Nice idea, but it does nothing to get rid of the data already in the system. Even if you opt-out there is still information about you learking in DoubleClick's system. It's a good start, but gets nowhere towards solving the problem
