I have seen craigslist ads as broad as this one that were legit. Entire barns and garages full of furniture and other bulky items free for the taking, with the owner* present. There are companies that do constant business doing nothing but removing old fixtures and furniture from rental properties, their customers could just as easily post on craiglist. I would not be incredulous in the slightest if I saw this ad, even after having read this story.
* - proof of ownership being occupation of the house attached to the garage or adjacent to the barn. could have been a neighbor or leaseholder, but since it wasnt reported as theft i take the proof to be vindicated in hindsight.
I disagree. Most theft statutes require intent. By making the post, the poster effectively stole all of the items from the woman and then gave them away. That people had to come get them is a technicality. They are surely guilty of receiving/possessing stolen goods, but imho they aren't guilty of theft.
Say what? You can move/home from cygwin to linux to bsd and suffer virtually no ill effects..vimrc and.bashrc and.profile and yada yada are the same everywhere.
Why arent you just keeping your/home partition backed up? When I installed Kubuntu I let it run overnight with a huge batch of things to download and install. That took about 10 minutes to set up. Then another 15 minutes to copy/home from my old machine. So, call it 25 minutes of work for a fully customized and tweaked installation?
One could write a book on conflicting information from "Official Monopoly Rules" [on] any number of sites.
http://richardwilding.tripod.com/monorules.htm This one says that the bank auctions off all the belongings of bankrupt players. It also says that the limit for late rent is two turns later. It also says that a whole color must be un-house'd before one of the properties can be mortgaged (a sensible rule, but the rules I have read only required that property to be empty, meaning one house could remain on the others). Contrary to the grandparent-linked "Official Monopoly Rules", it says you can unmortgage property for 110% immediately upon buying it, instead of paying the (unheard of) extra 10%.
There is no single set of "Official Monopoly Rules". There are many variants, many of which are or were official at some point in some place. There are many rulesets. Some are good, some are bad. Some people make up house rules (like auctions) that happen to be printed rules in other sets.
I have read them. Many more times than almost anyone else posting on this same subject. I have collected Monopoly games (amongst other games) in the past. The auction rule wasnt in the original monopoly rules, and its not in any current printing. It was "popular" (with whoever decides which rules go in which boxes at Parker Brothers) at various times, mostly in the mid 80s and late 90s. I am sure it will make a comeback. But most people playing without it are playing by the rules as they have them from PB.
The absolute best solution I have seen to this is in the game Power Grid. Simply put, the player in first has to do everything at the worst possible time, and the player in last does things at the best possible time. Auction order, purchase order, building order, etc, all in favor of the losing players. This leads to a game where the best player tends to stay at the head of the pack, but it is fully possible to lose the lead at the end of the game, or make a great finish from a poor start.
Richard's Play-By-eMail Server has a community of thousands of players and supports dozens of games, including proper chess and many chess variants. Games run as slow as one move a month or as fast as one move an hour.
A lot of the rules on that page are old, new, rarely printed, or made up for tournaments but not actually part of the official rules. I have seen dozens of different printed-by-parker-brothers rule sets for monopoly. From the wikibooks page you linked, the following have never, to my knowledge, appeared in a real monopoly rulebook:
* buying/selling houses at any time * paying extra interest when trading mortgaged property * using 'get out of jail free' immediately on landing on Go To Jail
I know it isn't the majority of traffic, but there are plenty of trackers of completely legitimate content out there where you could easily seed 100GB/day if you had the connection for it.
Papers are supposed to test the research and argumentation skills of the students.
This is exactly where you are failing to do your job. Unless you are teaching Research and Argumentation Skills 201, you're wasting the student's time and money, and not giving them the education they are paying you for. I take Foobar 101 to learn about Foobar, not to learn how to write better papers. I expect to pass or fail the class on my acquired knowledge of Foobar, not on my ability to write papers. Professors like you are why I dropped out of college.
Maybe enough people have set custom moderation filters with Funny=-3 that slash has finally figured out that its not really a +1? Like my sibling post, I also meta moderate against people abusing the moderation system like you.
There is a market for the Loremo, which gets 157 MPG in a model that accelerates almost as fast as my current 45MPG Geo Metro, and 87MPG in a model that accelerates quite a bit faster. I will be on the first waiting list to import one, and it will be my first ever new car purchase. I can't wait.
a perfect cycle like that isnt possible with the normal roomba units... but if you buy the scheduler upgrade you can approximate it. Assume 1 hour to clean and 2 hours to charge, just set the scheduler up to start a cleaning cycle every 3 hours.
port 25 is not used to check mail, it's used to send mail. port 110 (POP3) is used to receive email and there is little or no reason for a firewall to block it. Port 25 is what the spammers are interested in because that's SMTP for sending mail. Maybe you missed the part where I said this: "When they send replies, their SPF/DomainKeys/Whatever-using ISP requires them to use the proper SMTP server."
Now this is minorly annoying as if I read an email on my home account when at work, and I hit reply, I have to change the SMTP address from my home server's to the internet provider's here at work or it will timeout. Though considering it's blocking 98% of the spam zombies on their networks from pumping spam, I think it's an excellent tradeoff and it doesn't bother me so much. Changing your SMTP server like that is exactly what you SHOULDNT do in terms of proper spam solutions. SPF (usually) says you have to send your bob@isp.com emails through smtp.isp.com, not smtp.workplace.com. If workplace.com is blocking outbound port 25, shame on them.
Why would you NOT allow outbound port 25? Thats a ridiculous restriction. The office I work at has plenty of people who *GASP* check their personal email from work. When they send replies, their SPF/DomainKeys/Whatever-using ISP requires them to use the proper SMTP server. As it should be.
Try again. The students are giving the papers directly to Turnitin, who then passes it on (with the student's implicit permission at worst, explicit most likely) to the teacher with/without plagiarism notices.
I realize that it does indeed violate their copyright Well, you start off with incorrect assumptions right there. The plagiarism checking service keeping a copy of the work does NOT violate the student's copyright. Dictating who can possess a copy of the work is not one of the author's exclusive rights. Once they have a copy, which you presumably consented to giving them, they can do whatever they want with it as long as they don't violate these rights. If they send out a copy of your paper when someone plagiarizes it, THEN they would be violating copyright, but just keeping the paper on file for comparison is the issue at hand here.
Because some OSes behave VERY differently with and without swap space, regardless of the total amount of RAM+swap. Running linux with ~900MB of RAM and ~100MB of swap (on a ram drive) is far preferable to running with 1GB of RAM and no swap.
even DirectX 9.x's version of Direct3d features a LOT more functionality than OpenGL's most recent revision contains. EXCEPT GEOMETRY SHADERS, which was the entire point of the OP.
Actually, the relevant laws where I live say the employer has to offer the breaks, not that I have to take them. I much prefer to put in 8 hours straight, with possible restroom breaks, than 8.5 hours with a gap in the middle or worse.
Beats of Rage uses copyrighted assets, I think. But OpenBOR, a fork, can use custom game packs and there are plenty of cool third party games for it. Super Mario War also uses copyrighted assets, circa Super Mario Brothers.
Quake can use third party assets like OpenQuartz or the official shareware data from id. Transport Tycoon Deluxe requires the original data files, which I happen to be lucky enough to own, but would download if not.
I would like to note that OpenTTD and SMW are two excellent examples of SDL portability, both running on many open and closed platforms.
As to dumping your own SNES roms... good luck with that.

I am doubtful that "sells it at thru an auction" is copied verbatim from any published rules. If so, I need to apply for a job as a proofreader.

Don't call random variants added to the rules in less than 1% of all monopoly printings "proper".
