The law? That's for mere peons. The IOC believes they are aristocracy, and that if they took a collective shit in the Olympic rowing venue it would cleanse the water and make it smell like roses, because like Caroline, they "like to think their shit don't stink".
This is true - but in the case of the Olympics, I'd rather that instead of reporting the facts of who's won what, they report the facts of Olympic corruption and how the Olympics does damage to the host country. And the ongoing cheating and doping.
Or show pictures of the sh#t floating in the Olympic rowing area. And the people who have been displaced. And how only the well-to-do will benefit from the new subway extension "for the Olympics." And the funding crisis for hospitals that can't treat patients because of a lack of basics such as gloves and syringes.
While we're at it, why not have a campaign to nominate #ZikaMosquitoes as the official Olympics 2016 animal?
Only a bunch of pinheads would get excited about the actual Olympics. Maybe the IOC is secretly hoping to spread Zika to create more pinheads? #OlympicZikaConspiracy:-)
This is for backwards countries that haven't rolled out Enchanced 911 services. Great Britain and Estonia sounds about right. Other countries don't need this because calls to 911 from gps-equiped smartphones already send the location data to the call center via the carrier.
Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1 service
This type of wireless 9-1-1 service is provided in areas that receive Enhanced 9-1-1 service. To improve the safety and security of Canadians, the CRTC required wireless carriers to upgrade their 9-1-1 services to provide an enhanced capability to identify the location of wireless 9-1-1 callers. This is particularly important in emergency situations where the caller is unable to speak or cannot identify his or her location. This improved location capability is enabled by two technologies:
Global Positioning System (GPS) or Triangulation Capability
With Enhanced 9-1-1, wireless carriers use Global Positioning System (GPS) or Triangulation technology to identify a 9-1-1 caller’s location (generally within 50 to 300 meters of the cellphone). The emergency call and the caller’s location are automatically transmitted to a 9-1-1 call centre serving that area.
Not all new cellphones have GPS capability. To get more information on a cellphone’s
9-1-1 service, check your manual or ask your wireless service provider.
GPS capability uses signals from satellites to determine a cellphone’s location.
If your cellphone does not have GPS capability, wireless carriers can also use triangulation technology, which locates the caller by measuring the cellphone signal’s distance from nearby cellphone towers.
The location information, as determined by either GPS or triangulation, will be provided to the 9-1-1 operator if you are using either a cellphone with pre-paid minutes or a wireless service plan. If you have a cellphone but are not subscribed to any service, you can still dial 9-1-1 in an emergency and get basic wireless 9-1-1 service.
The US has a more complicated regulatory environment, where there is a disincentive to offering E911 services because if you (the carrier) does offer it and is not in compliance, the carrier gets penalties imposed.
The bean counters would still do it without the CEO's direction, since it directly affects the company's ability to pay the employees (including said bean counters) salaries. And they would be under less pressure to do illegal tax dodges, since they would bear direct responsibility for those decisions instead of "just following orders." Hang the CEOs, watch the company do better as the people who actually know their jobs do them without outside interference.
I have yet to see any of those avid note-takers actually learning while taking notes. If they were learning the stuff, they wouldn't NEED the notes, duh!
Well-paid CEO isn't responsible for reducing tax liability - that's the bean counters job. You could remove most CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, etc., and as long as nobody noticed, the company would be better off.
They're just boards who play the board member game, hiring expensive talent so that they in turn can be seen as worth it since they've succeeded in hiring expensive talent. CEO compensation needs to be cut drastically, because more money on the table just attracts the people who are good at taking more money OFF the table and into their pockets.
The site was not "targeted to scientists." Where the hell did anyone get that idea from? Mentos bottle rocket videos was not "targeted to scientists" any more than OMG PINK PONIES.
It was never "News for scientists, stuff that matters." Sheesh.
If you're taking notes during a lecture, you're doing it wrong. You should be paying attention, not pretending to be a stenographer. If you don't completely understand something, don't STFU - ASK FOR CLARIFICATION - because you can be sure everyone else busy taking crappy notes isn't going to understand it either.
You can also do like Adobe does - make a video so you can review whatever you f*cked up on. Just don't waste your time taking notes. At what it costs for an education, both in time and money, you can't afford to be a note-taker.
Who cares who's server the account is hosted on? Seriously - the user is authorized to use that account by Twitter. The user gives authorization to someone else for their account. End of story. Twitter should just f*ck off and die, along with all the idiots who take it so seriously.
The site is owned and operated by Americans, that makes it an American site, dipshit. Also, most people in the world speak more than one language, so language has SFA to do with country of origin except to rubes.
Actually, it's wingspan is similar, but it's longer than the Spruce Goose. Do we have any crazy rich folks ready to make a commercial version that is larger, capable of landing on water and land, AND uses significant wood in it's construction?
"Drafts" doesn't mean what you think it means. Drafts are not deleted unless you remember to - and they wouldn't delete the drafts, because others had to log in with the same credentials to read the drafts - they never sent them, hence no email trail.
It's not elitist to choose what you want to see and what you don't. Can't be arsed to log in or take credit for what you say, then why should I be arsed to read it? That is the exact opposite of elitist, since ANYONE can have an account, so quit trying to reframe the question to something totally bogus.
Are all AC comments worthless? Maybe not - but there's too much NOISE and not enough SIGNAL. The option to hide AC comments would be a huge improvement just in eliminating troll scripts.
I've made homemade bread with only a small quantity of salt - still tastes great fresh out of the oven. Smells awesome too. Now if you want to make something with a longer shelf life, throw in more salt. But lets face it - homemade bread don't need shelf life because it's all gone the same day,

How would I react? I probably would have already quit. Been there, done that, freedom is not just another word for nothing left to do.
Company actions, even if they aren't illegal, are EVERYONE's business. Remember that the next time there's a mass layoff in your area.

So you're claiming that companies that avoid their fair share of taxes are NOT everyone's business? What sort of libertarian fucktard are you?
We need a corporate "death penalty" to force shareholders to look at the underlying fundamentals of the business, including ethics.

The same can be said of every website, even ones that have 1 visitor a week.
The Spruce Goose also used significant glue holding that wood together. Not sure which there was more of in the structure, glue or wood.
Who cares - sniff enough of it and you'll achieve lift-off.
Go visit archive.org and look at the history - all the way to 1998 - if you weren't around then. Definitely USA-centric.
It was never "News for scientists, stuff that matters." Sheesh.
Guess you missed all the early stuff (from back when I had a 40k UID before my name change), when it was unabashedly American.

They gave the RCMP the keys - not just "access to the servers."
