I'm creative because I'm schizophrenic... No I'm not. Yes I am. No I'm not. Yes I am. No I'm not. Yes I am.
More seriously though, my Japanese teacher said that there was a guy who learned Japanese very fluently without conversing with other people by creating a second personality to converse with. With my luck, I would just have two people in my head speaking poor Japanese.
Christopher Tolkien published the Silmarillion, after JRRT's death, among several other books, including the History of Middle Earth. Sure, strictly speaking it was all JRRT source material, but there has been a wealth of information out there, produced by these guys.
They call that a cool space craft? It doesn't even have warp drive, let alone quantum torpedoes. It doesn't even have anything onboard to which you could apply the phase "reverse the polarity". Cool. Bah!
From the article... Movie studios, TV networks and cable TV channels had argued that the service is more akin to video-on-demand, for which they negotiate licensing fees with cable providers.
Isn't this exactly what video-on-demand is? Downloading a movie locally that is held at the cable company's location? (DirecTV acts that way with their DVR. You have to download it). If so, the ruling may mean license fees are unneeded.
They just released a Wii Channel game called Final Fantasy IV The After Years. It is 800 Wii Points, but what they don't tell you is that that is for "part 1". Parts 2-X (however many) are additionally 300 points and 800 for the final piece. They don't tell you that up front. Anyone who knows anything about FF knows XI is an online, MMO. That's why it is the one I avoided.
Clarence Thomas, who 'asserted that the majority's finding second-guesses the measures that educators take to maintain discipline "and ensure the health and safety of the students in their charge."'
I can't imagine how forcing a 13-year old girl to strip ensures anyone's health and safety, especially since they were looking for IBUPROFIN, for heaven's sake.
I once worked at a bank/wealth management type office. I noticed once that my google queries were accessing "dhs.gov" (Didn't even know what it stood for at the time.) I wonder if it was because it was a bank and all transactions are logged, or that maybe the previous google search for "Saturn V rocket plans", that I had done, based on a claim by a co-worker that NASA had lost this information, might have triggered this.
I think Microsoft wins either way. They are not generally a patent troll company, nor are other large companies (IBM) with massive patent portfolios. If their strategy was to countersue little companies which had (somewhat) frivolous patents as a defensive measurement, they win either way. Either their patents are valid, in which case they have a good defense strategy, or they are not, and neither are the patent-troll lawsuit patents. I read somewhere it costs $10,000 or so to file a patent. This is chump change to Microsoft.
I have generally been an Obama supporter, but was very disappointed that he voted for telecom immunity in the FISA bill last year. Apparently it is ok for corporations as a whole to snoop on your calls, but not for individual employees to snoop on his. (Note: I am not condoning the action of the employee, it just seems interesting at what level justice applies).
I know it's not the same situation, but finding systems with XP is now difficult. Why not wait until 2017 (or how ever long now + (now - windows 3.x coming out) is to support XP. (I know levels of support are different, but I'd like an easier time of finding XP)
I think the whole thing stinks to high heaven, personally. Records of these transactions should be pursued by Congress. These records should be gotten from the Executive Branch, primarily, not just from the complicit companies. individuals have no access to the Executive Branch records, short of suing the government (which I believe has also been tried). Individuals suing the phone companies seem to be the only way that they have any traction. I don't think the fourth amendment prevents Congress from providing civil immunity though. The act of the executive branch, and the phone companies, I do believe is unconstitutional. I don't think the action of Congress is, though, strictly speaking. (Which is very frustrating). How do citizens get justice when the normal avenues of justice (Congress, Courts) are accomplices to the fact? (There is one answer, of course, but I wonder what would take to exercise that option.)
While I have had similar thoughts in the past, I can't necessarily find anything unconstitutional about this. Congress has offered immunity in the past for people who claim the Fifth Amendment while testifying, not to mention States Evidence mob trials. While I don't like it, it seems to kind of the opposite of Ex Post Facto. I am also not a constitutional scholar, and hate the idea that these guys can get off scott free, but there is precident to limitation of liability, which has seemed to be upheld in the past. Can someone please convince me constitutionally that I am wrong? I'd love to be in this case.

If users have the ability to tailor search results, won't page rank "fixers" (aka spammers) have an easier time? Or am I missing something?

I inhale cheeseburgers, I guess it would only be right to exhale them too.
If I would have to guess, Btitish Telecom? (Since they are talking about the BBC)

I wouldn't care so much but BMI is actually used by insurance companies to determine coverage eligibility sometimes. It is a horrible statistic.

I say "good morning" to people in the morning. You know who else said that? Mussolini. Therefore...
CEPLARN (Conseil Europeen Pour LA Recherche Nucleaire) would be a cooler name, it sounds vaguely Klingon.
Live, Freeze, and Die.
An optional opiate IV drip, to calm me down during the trip being driven by all those guys who play too much Crazy Taxi.
So why doesn't he just turn over some benign images as the "decrypted data"? How can they know, without the encryption key?
$100 Linux Wall-Mart now available? That would be cool.

After I drink my cup of coffee in the morning to wake up, I give it to my car, which needs it to wake up too.

No. While antimatter may have a 100% mass to energy conversion, it takes more energy to create it than it gives off.
So then why are they in range of power? It seems like certain things only happen when they are mandated to be so, like electricity.
