Clearly you haven't seen the Crayfish matrix resolution of the SuperSquid Straight 6 engine w/tuned port SFI, which is used in the latest JungleHunt rendering plugin, and literally SMOKES the OpiumDen5 Extreme on WWJD3 compliant code.
I have such a method and apparatus. I call it sleeping in a bed (or on a floor in a fix). When used properly it doesn't take anywhere near 5 minutes, and my patent is pending.
And Logitech outsources to factories in China, which get the raw materials from other companies, who lease the mineral rights from governments, which exist only through the will of the people, who were born from some other people, ad infinitum. Your point? For all practical purposes, Microsoft indeed makes mice and Xboxes, and Apple makes Macs and iPods. The person who signs the paycheck of the assembly line worker is irrelevant.
Blasphemy! God constantly provides us with new water through his tears, AKA the rain, which adds mass to the planet daily. I suppose next you're going to try to tell us that clouds form through evaporation of the seas, or some such nonsense, despite the fact that clouds are EVERYWHERE, and the oceans would be dry by now if they were constantly evaporating.
You don't think 'good' and 'bad' are helpful adjectives to describe a company to a friend who might be interesting in purchasing services from said company and who will eventually need to deal with said company?
No, I don't. If I were said friend, I'd rather know specifics, such as what my money is or is not supporting by patronizing said company, rather than the value judgments you assign to those actions as a whole. Labeling collectives as good or bad is even more difficult, time consuming, and pointless than doing the same for an individual, or even the specific action of an individual. For all I know, Netflix makes their DVD envelopes out of aborted baby skin, and Comcast donates a portion of their physical resources to finding a cure for cancer. Comcast may suck, but the alternative might be worse. Netflix might be great, but there might be another company that offers the same service at a lower cost. As I said, I think it's more productive to discuss specific action; not necessarily in a vacuum, but at least without the stigma of subjective moral labels.
In this particular case, I support the specific action of iiNet in challenging the current regulations, regardless of whether or not they worship Satan or rape homeless grandmothers*.
* For profit or otherwise.
Addendum: No part of this post should be taken to mean that I condone, or not, the worship of Satan, or the raping of anyone irrespective of how many generations of offspring they have or have not birthed, or that I believe that iiNet has any relationship to said practices.
I'm not an Aussie, but I think it's unproductive (and often counter-productive) to try to label companies or people as "good" or "bad." This particular action appears to be good. Nuff said.
Clearly you've neither served in the military, nor witnessed the specimen of female attracted to such a career. There are basically two types: Those who relish the idea of being "harassed" by a bunch of alpha males, and those who basically ARE alpha males. There is some overlap, and a few exceptions of course, but that describes the overwhelming majority. Bear in mind that most of the women in either group also exhibit the trait known as "homely," or "pretty when the lights are off," and that they enjoy much more attention in such a scenario than they might otherwise receive. They are prone to dislike liberty in foreign cities or ports (often referred to in popular media as "shore leave" or "leave", though the former doesn't exist and the latter is something else entirely) owing to the fact that the attention usually shifts en masse from them to the locals.
There are those those who will read this and think I'm being demeaning to women, and there are those who have served in the military, and many females in the military will openly admit that it's a huge "perk". Many military wives also enjoy this "perk" when their husbands are deployed, although obviously most aren't as quick to admit it.
Hmm.. sounds a lot like most of the _[_]O's I've heard, at least before their nonsense gets parsed by someone with a brain taking dictation. Unfortunately it seems that the achievement of such a position is based more on assertive/aggressive behavior, showing off, and/or taking credit rather than any actual competence, as so elegantly demonstrated in just about any Dilbert cartoon, ever.
Sure, back in the day lightsabers were the crude tools you describe, but that was a long, LONG time ago. These days, lightsabers don't arm unless they recognize the biometric signature of the person weilding them. Additionally, the factory default setting is "practice mode," and you have to do quite a bit of hacking to actually unleash their destructive potential. (No pun intended.) In "practice mode," the saber performs nearly instantaneous mass spectrometry on anything it comes in contact with, and reduces power output to "singe" mode in the event of contact with human biological material. (Yes, technically that means you can shield things by covering them with.. well.. let's just say my Real Do.. er, girlfriend is quite safe.)
I really hope he doesn't "JJ up" Star Trek. Honestly, Alias was one of the worst spy-genre series ever, and Fringe is simply atrocious. I have nothing against taking liberties with what is scientifically possible, but there's a vast difference between taking liberties, and completely making shit up that has no basis in either fact or logical speculation. Every single episode of the above series has left me in a catatonic state, rocking back and forth like an Autistic child who can't reconcile what he's just seen with any version of reality that he knows. God only knows how the actors can get "in character" for his roles, because the characters themselves bear no resemblance to anyone with a personality, let alone someone with a brain. They make stupid mistakes left and right, and in the end of each episode, make some huge leap of logic which is itself a complete non-sequitur -- just one that happens to be right in the context of the show. "Computers are powered by magic and explosions only leave scratches, therefore my fiancee is not really dead, but he is an alien, and there is a shadow government controlling everything."
His choice of actors leaves much to be desired as well. From the Mick Jagger look-alike, Jennifer Garner, supposedly playing the role of a femme fatale, to placing the Muppet known as Janice in the leading role in Fringe, it's as if he's actually challenging the audience to believe anything on the screen.
Honestly, his best work is "Lost," and even that only worked when he refrained from trying to explain anything whatsoever. Now even Lost has lost its way, and as much as I'd like to like it, I have a feeling JJ will work his anti-magic on the last 2 seasons to bring it to a screeching train wreck of an ending. I would've much rather seen someone like Joss Whedon on Star Trek, but I guess compelling characters and congruent plot lines are out of style these days.
Nerds should be able to use a nightly without destroying their computers beyond recognition, if not they need to give their badges back.
That's possibly the most mind bottling comment I've read today. Yes, mind bottling, like when your thoughts get all trapped up like they're in a bottle.
I think it's safe to assume that the actual photos in question are examined before pressing charges. A hash match was not the grounds for prosecution, rather it was grounds to scrutinize the matching files from which the hashes were generated.
An imperfect search is not worthless.. first of all, there's little to no incentive to create a false positive. That would be like dipping your nose in talcum powder when you get pulled over. It might waste the officer's time, but it's almost certainly going to bring down more scrutiny on you, which most people would rather do without.
Second, nothing about a preliminary hash comparison precludes a file-by-file manual inspection. Just because you don't find a relevant search result doesn't mean you can't keep looking. Presumably, even an investigator realizes this, and running a hash check is just a method to save time by finding that needle in the haystack with the least amount of time/effort/money.
Third, when the Chinese researchers develop a collision mechanism, it will not affect past results; it will only bring future results into question. Nonetheless, it will still be mostly irrelevant, because the hash itself is not the evidence; it just points to the evidence.
In conclusion, this case is not at all the same as RIAA cases where offenders are identified by IP and song titles. The police actually have the files in their possession (albeit sans warrant in this case) and the hash methodology is merely used to expedite a search. The method is sound, as was the decision that it constitutes a search and thus requires a warrant.
Not exactly.. Guam was first captured during a bloodless event in the Spanish-American War in 1898, then lost to the Japanese in WWII. After regaining control, the Navy effectively (and officially) had control over the island, until it was transferred to the custody of the Dept. of the Interior in 1949. Nonetheless, the citizens of Guam didn't become citizens of the US until the Organic Act was passed by Congress in 1950. You could argue semantics, I suppose, but I think most people would agree that qualifying as a "part of" a country includes citizenship in that country. Yap, Palau, and Chuuk, for example, were controlled by the US for about 30 years, but the residents do not enjoy US citizenship (although they do have special US immigration and residency privileges, particularly on Guam). See also: Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and Federated States of Micronesia.
I actually lived on Guam until recently.. spent about 6 years there. Great strip clubs, nice diving, though Palau has much better diving from what I'm told.

This all assumes that something magically vanishes after you eat it, which almost never happens. Not counting my dates, of course.

For many people there is.
It will be like an Easter Egg chase only everyone will be sad and miserable...
Redundant much?
stronger naval action -- including aerial and aviation support -- is necessary to battle rampant piracy in the Gulf of Aden near Somalia.
Nice try, grasshopper.. You got the concrete nouns, but you missed the abstract.

And input devices. No pun intended. Really. I wasn't making an allusion to dildos at all, nor implying any undesired method of delivery.
If so, they're tears of JOY!!!11

So Vista is handi-capable?
You're both confused.. Xerox was successful in preventing the genericization of their trademark. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericized_trademarks
http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/02/you-cant-xerox-change.php
And xerography is the term from which the company took its name.

It's not the type of gel that matters so much as where you apply it, and in what quantity.
