While that article clearly shows the idiocy of the American public, it has been reported that a Facebook page registered with the family's postal address claimed links to the Taliban and al Qaeda.. http://www.itv.com/news/update... Could it be, as claimed, a former resident, or as it appears, a joke? It could be, but if the TSA discovered the page between when the ESTA was initially approved and the date of the flight, it may have been sufficient cause to deny entry. This is a major problem with these hidden no-fly and terrorist-watch lists: people can get on them by being pranked, and since you're not told why you're on the list, you can't readily get off.
The business model has been around for decades - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Some of the things I consider when purchasing products which use refills is what the cost of the refills are, whether third party refills are available, and the (current) cost of replacing the product if the refill cost increases. This applies whether purchasing printers, razors, single cup coffee makers, or water pitchers.
WWMCCS ran on GCOS 3, from 1970, until it was upgraded to GCOS 8 in 1989. After the multi-year effort to test and update the existing software for GCOS 8, apparently WWMMCS itself was shut down in 1996.:S
There are non-standard sockets they should have fitted instead then, so only company authorised equipment can be plugged in.
You take product off of the tables at sidewalk sales and walk off with it without paying, don't you? After all, if they didn't want you to take it, they should have kept it inside the store where you had to go through the register stand, right?
As I pointed out to my nephew, who works at Apple, once upon a time Java was declared to be Open Source. Then Oracle sued Google over the APIs used by Java. Making a language "Open Source" isn't true if you keep the APIs needed to use it proprietary.
I have a similar issue with my personal domain, as an unfortunate number of in-duh-viduals in Utah seem to be unable to correctly transcribe the letters S F C N (for Spanish Fork Community Network), and instead enter S T E N. As a result, I receive email from educational, financial, government, medical, religious and retail organizations intended for specific Utah residents. In many cases, the senders are uninterested in the fact that the email is not reaching the intended recipient.
Personally, I report most of the messages as spam - they are unsolicited by the actual recipient (me), and if the sender cannot be bothered to confirm if the messages are being sent to the intended recipient, they deserve whatever trouble they have with their service provider.
Turning off the catchall feature is not an option, as I create far too many unique email addresses to set up on the server. Also, I do not use my own account name or the company name in the email addresses - once the address has been compromised and sold, the end recipient will have very little information as to what the address was used for. What I would like to do is find a provider who will do wildcard hosting, so I can use a catchall for *@*.STEN, blackhole any of the those hosts which are found by spammers, and severely limit the legitimate addresses @STEN.
I'm glad you believe that. I was unable to find anything other than complete bulbs on the websites for Home Depot, Lowes, Target, and Walmart. If you can't get the power converter from one of them, for all practical purposes it's not available.
Does it really matter that it's the power converter which fails under the poor power delivery conditions? Can you remove the LED from the power converter, purchase a replacement power converter from obRetailer, and attach the LED to the replacement? If not, the LED bulb failed.
You can't take any dog with you into a restaurant; only guide dogs are allowed. GG could be a similar assistive technology, allowed only to those who are officially disabled, carry the permit, and so on.
However it is not very likely that GG would be a good fit as a medical device. It does not have much of video processing power to be useful to people with, say, vision problems.
But is has enough processing power to provide assistance to Aspies - see http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/08/catalin-voss/ . I'm looking forward to being able to purchase GG, and use an app such as that. I suppose I'd need to carry a letter from a therapist.
Sales/consumption taxes are regressive; the poor slob behind the grill at McDonald's lives paycheck to paycheck while the CEO spends only a small portion of what he "earns".
That's why the FairTax has a prebate, in the amout of tax which would be paid up to the poverty level. This means that the "poor slob" might receive more in the prebate than actually paid in FairTax (expecially if s/he purchases used goods, which would be exempt from the FairTax), and the CEO would pay nearly the full net amout of FairTax on his spending.
Worse still is property tax; you're getting taxed over and over.
It's rent you're paying to the government.:(
And since the rich get far more benefit from government than the poor, they should be paying a higher percentage of their income.
Agreed, but by taxing income, you allow taxation to be avoided by deferring income, having income received outside the country, etc. Tax consumption, and you reduce opportunity to avoid the tax.
Also, how many "new build" nuclear plants are actually already partially built, but had construction halted? My father recently worked on a couple which are being completed now, after being placed on hold by the TVA in 1988. One problem, though, is that the engineers who understand how the 1970s-era plants were designed are retiring, and newly-graduated engineers have trouble adjusting to the older designs. The plans need to be completed while the old and new engineers can work together to meld newer technology into the older designs.
They don't want to send you ads for stupid or irrelevant stuff, because that's worse than a waste of bandwidth - it may drive you to seek out an ad blocker.
I was driven to use ad blockers, in part, because of "relevant" ads. I don't want ads "relevant" to me, I want them to be relevant to the web site I visit. Only if I choose to tell the web site that I do or do not want a category of ad do I want the ads to be tuned to me.
The greatest prizes in "journalism" are named after one of the notable purveyors of 'yellow journalism', over a century ago. You're giving too much credit to journalism before the web.
What I find most interesting is the volume - over 1.8 million shares changed hands today, landing SCOX at $1.22. That's over 8% of SCOX's 21 million shares outstanding, and almost 13% of SCOX's 14 million share float. While I'm not a financial guru, I suspect that those are percentages which are highly exceptional.
Perhaps the statement should have been that judges are not passive observers. As rjh said,
If you're able to convince the judge of a fact, then brother, your job is done. At that point the other attorney isn't fighting you anymore, he's fighting the judge, and that's a fight the other lawyer is--with greater than 90% certainty--going to lose.
So would it be surprising that, once the judge has been convinced of one side's version of the facts, that the judge strives to manage the case such that the verdict will not be overturned?
And that was the reason that I began using Linux, despite the fact that the *BSD FAQ maintainer worked down the hall from me. My home system had only IDE drives, *BSD at the time did not support IDE drives, and Linux did. That choice flowed upstream - when the group I was part of decided to use an alternative to SCO Open DeskTop, Linux was chosen over *BSD because those of us who would have to support it were familiar with it, when we were not familiar with *BSD (the *BSD FAQ maintainer was in a different group). Then the sites that used our software were moved from SCO to Linux. I'm only talking about a few dozen systems here, but how many times was this scenario replicated, where the choice between Linux of *BSD turned on IDE support on a personal system?
The only requirement is that if you SHIP modified GPLed software, you have to provide the modified source to those whoe recieve it. The amusing part is that you don't even have to provide that source to the original authors, only to those you ship to.
Go read the GPL.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
"Any third party" means anyone, not just those you shipped the program to.
So, if you write software that you only ship to, say, Fortune 500 companies, then you're well within your right to tell the people who originally wrote the code that they have to go talk to the people at those companies if they want to try to get access to your modifications.
Only if you shipped the source code with the program. If you shipped the program with an offer to provide the source code on request, that offer is valid for any third party.
Personally, I can't wait for the countersuits to roll in. I'm surprised that someone hasn't called them on their press statements that made false allegations against Linux.
You haven't been following the cases much, have you? Both IBM and Red Had have filed claims related to SCO's press statements.
Perhaps you should do that. PJ does not believe in suicide, in the way some people do not believe in Christianity, or others do not believe in Islam. None of those indicates that the holder of the lack of belief denies that Islam, or Christianity, or suicide does not exist. Rather, it means that they do not consider the object of disbelief to be valid.
Russell, a former Voters Outreach of America employee in Las Vegas, said he witnessed his supervisor shred eight to 10 Democratic registration forms from prospective voters. Russell could not recall his supervisor's name.
I can name the supervisors I've had for nearly the past 20 years, and this guy can't name his supervisor from a couple of months ago? Color me dubious.

But usually you will only be extradited if the act you are accused of is a crime in both nations.

The GPL isn't a magic wand, solving everything, because the suit was over the API which Sun published, but didn't make Open Source.
As I pointed out to my nephew, who works at Apple, once upon a time Java was declared to be Open Source. Then Oracle sued Google over the APIs used by Java. Making a language "Open Source" isn't true if you keep the APIs needed to use it proprietary.
So we are middle aged with 5?
