if she really wanted it, she'd keep it, otherwise she'd abort it... thats a nice backwoods theory. its nice that we have the people making the laws in this country coming up with this half-baked theories. Maybe they will use these half-baked theories to further take away women's rights? Lets take one step forward, and five steps back.:(
Craigslist could only wish that people who use their site use it because they want Craig Newmark to exclusively own the rights to their postings... People don't use craigslist because they want craigslist to own the content, they do it to sell something. If it isn't craigslist, it is one of the other 500 sites that do the same thing. I think most people who stop using that site if they thought for one second that what they are submitting is not under their control.
So, the next time someone calls my home phone while I'm not home, I should file burglary charges against them... They should be charged with filing a false police report.
It's pure paranoia to think that a web (HTTP) crawler is doing something malicious by looking for open HTTP servers. That is like saying that a SMTP crawler looking for open mail relays to add to a blacklist is doing something malicious by scanning networks looking for open SMTP servers.

Really what they need to do is come out with a flash rom that you reflash your particular android device with and boom you're using ubuntu both in dock and undock mode... Doing it the way they are currently doing it, basically as an app running on the phone, is a step in the right direction, but really the road map should be to fully replace Android with Ubuntu. I think most people who use Android devices wish these devices were just running ubuntu, because ubuntu (and any desktop linux OS really) has a ton of more features out of the box than Android. With Android, they took linux, stripped away all the things that made it great, and then put a clunky window manager on top of it and a sandbox with limited features. I bet the same Android device running Ubuntu would run almost twice as fast, due to the natively compiled nature of Ubuntu versus the interpreted Java-based Android.
I think it's funny when you talk about the problems with the H1-B program, Indian people seem to be the most vocal proponents of the system, are the first to try to deflect criticism of the program, point the blame on other things such as "older workers cost more", etc. The reality here is that the H1-B system has been abused for decades to get lower paid workers, regardless of whether or not there was actually ever a US Citizen worker that could do the work. Unfortunately, the H1-B system will continue to be abused as a tool by large organizations to hire overseas workers at 1/3rd the cost of hiring US workers to do the same job. I think in most industries, the argument that there are not enough US workers is not based on facts. It's usually coming from the heads of large entities that are saving millions or billions per year by utilizing the program. As long as the program exists, it will continue to be abused this way. The H1-B program has nothing to do with "not enough skilled US citizens who can do the work", and alot to do with "I can hire the same guy for 1/3rd the price". Anyone who says differently is focused on some biased side of the conversation. The Indians think its a great program because it naturally enriches their poor country which would otherwise have been disenfranchised without the support of this program. The large organizations love the program because they get the workers for 1/3rd the price.
They have been sued numerous times for not removing posts *when the author of the post requested that it should be removed*. I think the bottom line is don't use ripoffreport.com, use complaintsboard.com or any similar site.
It has already been proven in many court cases that a "Terms of Service" page on a web site is not a contract, as are click-through agreements are also not legally binding contracts. Also, when web sites like Craigslist have in their Terms of Service that you must pay thousands of dollars per posting if you violate their terms of use, this too is also illegal and unenforceable.
Lets face it, public_html is PUBLIC H-T-M-L. If it is reachable from any computer without supplying a password to gain entry, then therefore it remains a public resource. Terms of Service does not apply.
On a good day, Wifi (802.11a/b/g/n) can travel about 900 feet between devices. Even with a directional antenna and some good hardware, you're looking at a maximum of about one mile transmitting distance between devices... Not sure how you could have any kind of sustainable network within these limited parameters.
I'd feel more safe if they provided parachutes. It's hard to survive a plane crash when you're traveling towards the ground at thousands of feet per second without a parachute. I think all the stuff they talk about like "using your seat as a floatation device" are all complete nonsense when 90+% of plane flights don't travel over bodies of water. Give me a parachute and a way to jump out of the plane, and at least I know that I'm going to *possibly* survive.
The sentencing guidelines have been changed several times over the last 20-30 years regarding the penalties for this type of offence. In the 1980's or 1990's, had this guy been sentenced, he would likely be facing probation or at most a few months in jail, depending on his prior history. These days, they really throw the book at these people and the sentences are on par with murderers and other violent felonies. This man was born about 10 years too late, and was about 10 years older than he should have been when he committed these crimes. Also, I highly doubt the inflated numbers involved in the theft of the credit card data. The credit card companies have been known to dramatically inflate these losses, and then if you ask them for any sort of documentation proving any of it, the real numbers are somewhere around 1% of the original amount they specified. They probably claim this as a deduction on their taxes.
Pretty soon everyone will already have their own personal NetFlix. There are only about 5TB of movies (US english) anyway, it takes only a few months to download every movie ever made. It takes even less for TV shows.
If you are a software engineer and you make over a million dollars per year, do you think you would want people to know this? I'd rather just file a W-2 and say I made $20K/year and write the rest off through my corporation as an expense. I think once you get above a few hundred K per year, it really behooves you to adjust what you report as personal income accordingly, otherwise you're just going to be giving away all your money towards taxes. I think most people in this position are already doing this tho, so I'm preaching to the choir I'm sure.:/
Instead of spending time on useless things like this, they should really focus on making it a legal requirement that cars drive themselves. I think more lives would be saved if human error was removed from the equation. They are talking about saving 292 lines per year? This is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of lives you would save if all cars drove by themselves. According to this link, there are about 100,000 traffic fatalities per year... If you want to make a law, why not focus on ones that might halve the number of traffic fatalities... Saving 292 people who didnt look back when they were putting their car in reverse is such a random useless thing to talk about. Making a law to "fix" this "problem" is ridiculous.
If cars were forced to drive by themselves, so many other problems would be solved. DUI would not exist, all the "using a cell phone while driving" laws would immediately become irrelevant.
It seems like the escalation of groping is conditioning for what is next, which is full colonoscopy for each traveler. Don't think so? Well, what happens when a bomber puts PETN in their rectum and successfully blows a hole in a plane?
MSFT doesn't write any of their native apps in C#, so it makes one wonder why spend all this time writing these interpreted languages in the first place? It always seemed to me that Microsoft would want to detract people from writing C / C++ code so their own code would run faster without interpretation performance penalties. Similar to the way MSFT threw a curveball in the 80's when they push out GWBasic on their customers to fool them into thinking it was a real programming language, thereby stifling innovation and competition. Rather than release MSC++ or MASM as the default compiler, they put out GWBasic. It's all about smoke and mirrors over at MSFT.

Libyan NTC repealed the secular gaddafi bans on polygamy as their first official act
Maybe they should first ban incestuous relationships with first cousins, but that would be against their muslim tradition.
