Getting a US congress man to say on camera with a striaght face "I think hookers and cocain are good because they are fun things to do" is not laught out loud funny?
The goal of bumping up your premium is not to compensate the insurance company. By having an accident, you have shown your insurance company that you are now in the class of people that have recently had an accident. Statistically speaking, you are more likely to have another accident than someone who has not recently had an accident. Your premium is adjusted to match their new information, not to compensate them for the amount they paid out.
Once you are no longer in this class, your premium will drop back down. Your premium isn't dropping because you've "paid them back"; it's dropping because you are now in the class of people that haven't had an accident in a long time. Statistically speaking, you're less likely to have an accident than you were before, so your premium is adjusted.
I call shennanigains!
I haven't had an accident EVER. So, just looking at my own personal statistics, I will never have an accident... So insurance should be free...
And, ironically, I can carry super-spicy hot sauce in a real biohazard container (purloined from a hospital by my friend) in my carryon lugage and not get asked ONCE about it assuming there is something like a nail clipper nearby.
It was on dumblaws.com (I can't find the link now) and its true that here in Victoria, Australia it is illegal to leave your car unattended with the keys in the ignition. I have an friend with OCD who loves to point that out to people.
Its stupid but it keeps the stupid people happy and gives them something to talk about.
They are called "attractive nuisance" laws and the like... Basically if you put a pot of gold out on your lawn with a sign saying "Hey, this unguarded gold is worth 15 million dollars and I am out of town!" it's your own damn fault when it's stolen.
It's not stupid, it's common sense. If you can't be botehred to even TRY and protect your own stuff in some minimal way, and even go so far as to make it very very easy to styeal, much more easy than it would normally be, then what right do you have to try and claim damages when it gets stolen?
Ta daaaaaa! And there is the answer to your own question...
Think about this, for roughly one trillion dollars we could put solar-power dynamos in orbit around mercury and beam back more power than we could every use... essentially making power cheap and free for the entire planet... But it's that damned initial cost.
The faked moon landing was a hoax... They couldn't make the set look real enough so they pretended to just fake th emoon landing and actually went anyway.
These companies are all run by the same folks. The board of directorys for one company is the CEO of another. By paying the CEO 9 million, you have a "safty net" when the company fails (i.e. when the company doesn't get bought out or IPO as planned, the CEO will take his money and start a new company and employ the guy who just finished employing him).
It's a strategy to keep the ball rolling as long as possible until one of them gets lucky.
With that said, who is he to 'determine' the 'timeline' for the fix? What if the bug or exploit affects a vast amount of code and third party applications? Does he get to hold the industry hostage becuase he didn't get the 'timeline' response or fix from Microsoft 'he' expects, when he knows nothing of what the bug or exploit might entail?
You discount the fact that the "fix" doesn't have to be a Microsoft patch, it might simply be a customer turning off a service or closing off a port that previously looked safe to keep open. THIS is why the information needs to go out ASAP.
Irrespective of what he presided over and did, he was a human being. He doubtless had people who cared about him, who will be mourning his death. As a human, no matter what sins he committed in life, we should show some respect - if nothing else for the sake of his family and loved ones.
No. He was not a human being. He simply looked like one. Human being do not callously steal the tiny fortunes of tens of thousands of hard working families, defaud millions more, and literally murder old people in thier homes by making the air conditioning too expensive during one of the hottest summers in recent history. He is now what he always has been the whole time, trash. Valueless waste.
His family should hide thier faces in shame. They should be ridiculed by ever passerby. They should live in fear that his corpse will be dug up in the middle of the night and place in humorous poses, often involving undead beatiality perhaps, in the center of town every other weekend. Because if THEY pay the price, then maybe the next would-be Kenneth Lay will think twice... Will know that even if he finds a way to get away from the crime, his family, everyone he loves, will be shit upon for the rest of thier lives for his misdeeds.
It's cruel, but how else are we to stop these monsters of humanity from rising again?
I'm curious why people don't think this "kill feature" would take all of *one weekend* for YouTube or GoFish or any of the other video sites to copy in two seconds if it were looking like a good idea?
I once worked for an "XP" (extreme programming, not windows) shop. We had not a single line of documentation in our entire codebase. What we did have, however, was 100% test coverage (at the unit tests level, the functional test levele, and even at the customer-test level). We could estimate, as a team, the length of time it would take to implement every feature in a major product change up to six months out, and hit them all on the exact day we had said we would.
It could have been the whole XP process or whatever, but personally I believe it was the testing that allowed us to estimate so well. When something is so well tested, and when you are working from a "test-first" mentality, you get the ability to estimate what you think it will be without having to fudge-factor the results. You do this for a while and you find that your gut instinct gets better and better.
I have been waiting for YEARS for the "Genetically modified mouth bactera", the kind that don't cause cavities, to become mainstream... But after a big hubub and fanfare, nope, never heard another peep about it... This is the same damn thing I suspect.
FYI, I have asked this of 911 operators before, but they DO want you to call when you *think* you see a crime but aren't sure. Like when you hear a firework that could have been a gun shot, etc. I asked them if this was wasteful or if it's ok to call, and they told me, absolutely I should call.
Don't cancel, just wander around the chat rooms saying you work for AOL and are a moderator of the forums until you find a real moderator and see how fast you get cut off permanantly. I suppose you could do some spamming as well.
Hey, the American government does too! Don't you worry... I once put an unlikely typo into my IRS tax return and in DAYS I was getting junk mail with the very same typo.

and what of the sha of the binary that computes the sha? eh?
Let me explain it to you:
Hey bob, I am writing up the "required specs" now to pass onto our congressman. What was the error rate on that DC4519 chip that we make?
bob: 1 in 10^38 i think.
thanks.
no... you made that up. why would she do that? Why weren't you out of the store long home before the cops even arrived?
The idea of the paper trail is that it prints a ballot that you, the voter, gets to read.

no no, the NUCLEAR war will be in asia.

even if it's more expensive up-front

But Shaw said ABC was only interested in finding a way to receive compensation for un-skipped ads.
Sure thing, I'll pay... But you pay for your free giant swatch of the RF spectrum first.
