See this is the problem with ratings and reviews on the internet. I'm only likely to fairly rate the things that I'm interested in and therefor receive recommendations based on those ratings, so often I don't get recommendations for legitimately good things that I wouldn't otherwise watch since most of my ratings are within my areas of interest. On the other hand. If for some reason I do watch something, but is generally out of my area of interest and I don't like it based on being predisposed to not liking it and I do rate it poorly, who does that serve?
While I do know there are malicious bad raters on the internet and very likely ones driven by a gender bias, I don't think that is necessarily the problem here. I feel the problem is our human nature to not care about the things we don't care about.
OFAC really isn't this dumb, this processor just is. Most OFAC scrubbing software only flags or blocks transactions and it is up to the financial institution to manually vet the transaction after any required reporting. The false positive rate in OFAC name matching is often listed as 50+%.
Perhaps if my local public stations offered more content than cartalk returns and prairie home companion for hours on end, they wouldn't have people listening to NPR content directly(podcast/app/other station streams). Oh and 14 hours a day of chamber music, yea for some reason one of the stations feels the need to live by the stuffy public radio stereotype. We had a decent station that offered a mix of modern music and public radio content, but one of the other public radio stations bought it and switched it to music only.
But the act of opting in or opting out of Binge does not have any financial difference to the customer. It's not you pay $amount for Binge+Throttled or $amounted for capped+non-throttled. I think that matters when we discuss if it's "neutral" or not.
The OFAC has been around since the 1950's and the functionality has been around since at least the 1930s. IIRC the list was used to stop funding of German and Jap. spies during WW2.
And at first the funds/messages are quarantined, then hand checked, much like how antivirus software works. It also keys off multiple fields in a transaction message not just name. So Pablo Escobar(19) in Detroit is less likely to be flagged than Pablo Escobar(actual age of Pablo when/if alive)in Switzerland(or other financial havens) or some place in South America.
And selling a sandwich does not figure into the OFAC strategy, it only figures in to wiring money, or establishing an account with a financial institution. Now when an Abu Saif plant uses paypal to buy something off you, paypal is liable for the checking against the OFAC list, and subject to a fine if they allow the transaction to take place, not you who sold him a hello kitty cockring LNIB.
It was like pulling teeth, mainly to get my coworkers to see value in not keeping documentation in a proprietary format(ms word or visio) that is heavily version dependent, and sometimes not backwards compatible for changes stewn across several directories on a shared drive. Unfortunately my group is the only one who uses it too, I would like to see the other groups use it. Hell I'd even convert to M$ sharepoint over the old method, thousands of documents on a shared drive, multiple iterations, some unaccessible, different formats, not knowing which one is most current etc...
They gas station I worked at, figured tax into the prices, since it's a static rate. Example Candy bar= $0.55 not $0.50+tax or whatever. When tax or wholesale went up we adjusted the prices of the items to the new tax/wholesale to round up to the nearest $0.05. This is much like how gas is priced, only more rounding.
Then again that made it easier on me because I was the cashregister, with my wallet of money and change dispenser.

Sedo told TechWeb that it had a process for pulling domain names but because of the sheer volume of domains on sale through its site it relied on trademark holders to notify it of potential problems. "We have more than six million domains for sale," said Jeremiah Johnston, Sedo's general counsel. "It's impossible for us to proactively filter sales." ®

Dear Chris,
Why did you not tell slashdot to f'off because you just did another interview, and will likely get asked the same questions regardless of what the post says about reading the other interview and not asking dupes?
You have a point, but I think Apple threw out the rules for the definition of this when they started allowing video podcasts. Thus breaking the factor that podcasts are only audio, and Apples podcast subscriber utility(iTunes) allows distribution of any type of file via its "podcasting" technology. But then again, if we listen to music on the TV(those cable or sat audio stations) is it still television, or is it a radio with a visual interface? I was just mentioning the fact that a podcast is just an rss feed of files, wether it be audio, video, pdf, mineral, vegetable, so long as your using Apples software to recieve it tho, other people call it other things in their technology. I've even confused myself at this point.
Yea I can barely hear the clicks and pops on my iPod at all. Infact I often fidget the clickwheel so I hear the clicky noise to simulate this "superior audio quality" of shitty analog record players. I also taped my iPod to a 12x12 piece of rigid cardboard to simulate to "easy portability" of carrying arround large inflexable, easily scratched disks. I also don't listen when its over 95deg or under 30deg, lest I warp or crack my simulated "better media".

I must be here...
The summary seems to use precision and accuracy interchangeably, they are in fact quite different.
if they were selling Ubuntu.
I'm not quite sure that Unbuntu is.

Your at this site by mistake.
This seems to be a marketing buzzword collection(only 26 one for each letter harrrr) and not an "Encyclopedia".
Y is for Yucca because plants distort wifi signal.
Thats simply in there because they could find a buzzword in the wifi realm that starts with Y.

This breach of rules for terrestrial radio stations surely infringes on my rights online.
burn them!

Actually a podcast is just a RSS feed + file.
It doesn't have to even be audio or video. Makezine distributes PDF's this way.
No they are saving that so they can sell us .a-.z in the next few years. So making it .m will be counter to that at the moment.

Actually its one reset per year, and you do not have to have used all 5 authorizations.
