The.cn registration decline was also based on the CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center) registry's implementation of the real names directive from the Chinese government primarily around verifiable "whois" data
That should be a requirement for every domain. I've been arguing that it would reduce spamming, and new we have proof.
Close down the anonymous domain registration services and make it harder for spammers to hide.
First, there is not law against video phones in cars
It's a cell phone. Our law is pretty strict - you can not have it in your hands while driving. So you need to get a bluetooth, and use the earpiece to hang up.
$100 + 3 demerit points.
And this applies, even when the car is parked on the side of the road with the engine idling.
I owned several Case backhoes - 580, 680, 780, and I never had a "disaster", even when hopping into this to keep excavating a basement and loading the dumptrucks while the "real" operator went out to lunch. (I had been using the transit to guide him as to depth, etc).
He came back from lunch, and his first shovelful, he whacked the side of the next dumptruck.
Within a year, he had managed to flip it. Some people need supervision, no matter what their skill level.
people are going to "Google" you before they offer you a job. The output associated with your name should be interesting, forward looking, and non-toxic. The Internet being what it is, you don't get to revoke output associated tightly with your name so if you're prone to stupid, racist, sexist or obscure arguments while posting sober or impaired, it's best if you use a pseudonym while doing that so you don't make yourself unemployable.
Oh great! My real name is Ano N. Coward! I'm screwed for life!
Get yourself an offer you like, and then start negotiating with your current employer
Bad advice.
The current employer will see this as blackmail.
You turn down the new employer, the current employer sacks you a month later, and you're screwed.
Take the job with the new employer. If they want you back, they can then offer more money - sit on the offer - it will be good for a raise with your new employer at the 3-month review.
But don't go back to the old one for at least a year.
it is not like hiring a new backhoe operator, where pretty much every backhoe works the same
Don't sell skilled tradespeople short. The ability to feel something's not right and avoid ripping out that unmarked underground gas main isn't something every backhoe operator has. Ditto for when it's safe to open-trench, and when you need to use a trench box. Or close-in work on buried electrical lines, with people standing next to the bucket.
We live in a world where almost everything crosses state lines .

"It was a mistake" doesn't wash. Google claims to be technologically sophisticated. Maybe they should have googled for "wireless data sniffing law".
Not everyone uses google location services. I don't, but I have two wireless routers, and they've been on my street. They can't argue that they have my consent - by law, each act of collecting information requires separate, informed consent. So even people who use gmail (I don't) cant be considered to have given google any sort of "blanket consent".

Sometimes it's understandable. Unending severe debilitating pain can do it. Don't knock it if you haven't been there - it begins to look logical after a few weeks, especially if the prognosis is pretty hopeless to begin with.
Women and men do not differ in their rates of spontaneous blinking. Generally, between each blink in intervals of 2-10 seconds; actual rates vary by individual averaging around 10 blinks per minute in a laboratory setting.

>Fair play (sic) to Ars: they at least did some real reporting while all PJ did was post 5 sentences and copy+paste the decision. Besides, it looks like Ars report was first.
The Ars Technica article has no real reporting beyond paraphrasing the judgment. There are no "new facts" that aren't in the actual judgment. So why not instead actually go to the site that has the judgment, as well as informed commentary on the judgment (groklaw)? You know, "view the source"...
She always refers to "Barbara Hudson, a blogger on Slashdot who goes by "Tom" on the site." And wait, "Tom" always seems to be a link to your Slashdot home page...
Where else would it link to? Maybe you should look at my profile and find out what 'tom' stands for. Here, since that seems to be beyond you...
Now tell me, how does that make me a sock-puppet? And who am I a sock-puppet for? Apple? IBM? Microsoft? SCO? Google? AT&T? Verizon? Rogers? Obama? Palin?
You need to loosen the tin-foil hat a bit - it's cut off the blood supply to your brain.
If you look around the Internet, you'll find that people have been quoting me for at least a decade. What can I say - I'm quotable. People like some of the stuff I write. It's why I have over 500 fans here.
Taking a shot at me - even a lame one like this - is one thing, but trying to smear someone else at the same time is neither fair nor honest. I don't even live in the same state. BTW - if you want proof, just email me - I'll reply and you can check the headers. My "junk email" address is in my user profile.
I think you'll find that UEFI is not nearly as complex as BIOS. The big advantage that UEFI has is that somebody actually designed it. Unlike BIOS which just sort of evolved out of IBM's old firmware I/O libraries.
I'm conflicted. Are we supporting Evolution today or Intelligent Design?
Are we going to add UEFI vs BIOS to vi vs emacs and God vs Darwin?
Technically primary partitions aren't really partitions either - they're just one view (abstraction) of the disk platter.
Same as files.
You don't need either if you write code that read/writes directly to the sector. Some hi-performance databases will do that. The 4 primary partitions are only there because of the bytes available to store that info in the partition table - but you're free to ignore the partition table, or create your own scheme.

Actually, it gives better in the city because over the same distance it encounters much less air resistance (and regenerative braking works great).
Air drag increases with the cube of speed: , so doubling the speed (from, say 30 mph to 60 mph) results in (1*2) cubed , or 8x the energy (double the speed, then cube it).
So you should get WAY better mileage in a Prius in the city.

In Soviet Russia, SCO helps spell MOSCOW!
In the rest of the world, SCO spells the answer to "What smells bad and spends forever circling the rim after you flush?"
SCO - the 7-Year Flush! That's a LOT of crap!

You mean that real life doesn't have pixels everywhere I look? OMG I'm trapped in the machine!
Seriously though, I remember one extra-long coding session. Near the end, everywhere I looked, things seemed to have a pixelated "overlay".
Of course, if the iJobs has a "retina display", so do a lot of other devices.
