We probably agree here, actually. I support the idea that gay couples should be able to enter into an agreement equivalent in the eyes of the law to marriage. Whether or not they call it "marriage" or not doesn't bother me either way.
What I was pointing out is that gays are not specifically denied rights that are afforded to straight people. That's nitpicking until you realize that the courts, not the voters, made gay marriage legal in California. I am not convinced this is a civil rights issue that needs that sort of intervention from the bench.
I can and will vote against the proposition to ban gay marriage outright. However, if it passes, at least the people will have had their say.
No gay people are free to marry someone of the opposite sex, just like everyone else. So it's not really about equality it's about state recognition of a socioeconomic union. Which California already did before gay marriage was legalized by the way. They called them civil unions. I'm not sure if the proposition would affect those.
Actually according to someone here it's the high lead solders that are affected. Regardless though the rumor mongers seem to be ignoring the fact that half the problem is that the chips weren't properly packaged by the OEMs. I would hope that HP etc. would actually fix the problem rather than just swapping a part. Perhaps just fixing the packaging is sufficient. I did hear that Nvidia switched to a different kind of solder recently.
8800GTs were not one of the affected cards. At least officially. So while it's unfortunate that yours died your odds of having the next one die prematurely roughly the same for ATI vs Nvidia, based on the best publicly available information.
I guess you could presume that all Nvidia products are of low quality after this laptop issue, but history would not support that.
Yeah except that the Windows drivers suck too. Until I replaced my whole computer, I couldn't force the ATI control panel to come up. I basically tried everything except reinstalling Windows.
Usually the leaders. Poor, resource-rich countries tend to be run by oligarchs, monarchs or dictators who are perfectly happy redirect the loan money to themselves and then flee the country when opinion turns against them.
Runas seems to work for me in Vista. The caveat, I guess, is that the command has to be an actual executable. Either that or it's not checking the path. For instance, "del" did not work for me. I don't know if that's a builtin in cmd.exe or an executable. I don't know if that's changed from previous versions.
Hmm... you mean like the social programs that forced the government backed mortgage companies to buy subprime loans? Sadly, that's not atypical of most social programs.
Check out the California first time home buyer programs. Average home price in your hood $750k? Sure how bout a loan. Make less than 50k a year? Even better we'll give you an interest only loan.
Any language with type checking could do that.
Ada's selling point is that it's easy to make a static analysis tools for it because you can't do certain things that make static analysis hard. That could actually be said about a lot of "academic" languages as well, but Ada caught on in certain niches a long time ago and so continues to be used.
I always thought the lease thing was because the batteries were going to die after two years. Makes sense too. Most batteries die after a couple of years of every day use. I know supposedly the Prius batteries will last ten years, but the EV1 was a long time ago.
Don't assume they did this in a clean room fashion. If the engineers did in fact agree to a EULA that said no reverse engineering and then did some reverse engineering, the plaintiff has a case. However, the only possible ruling could be that, in violation of the EULA these users or maybe the whole institution lost right to run the software. If anyone there was still running the software I can see a case for monetary damages.
A long history of non-enforcement has let horrendously one-sided EULAs slip under the radar. It's a bit much to expect individual software users to read the agreements with a legal mindset, but if this kind of litigation continues perhaps larger institutions will demand more reasonable terms.
Even if nobody else has to deal with it ever you will forget how stuff works years from now.
Learn who likes helping people and who doesn't. Then, don't overuse the helpful people and piss them off. If you need to bug the unhelpful people do so by email. Corollary: always be willing to help, but don't be afraid to say: "this has to wait."
I wonder if you have to do that or if it's just to make the thing look better. Usually the headers are just a rearrangement of the wires in a standard usb plug.
The original Tivos would allow you to record without the service. You just specified the time and channel. I see what the agreement says, but in practice has that changed?
What if a student was photographed skateboarding on the sidewalk? What about a student photographed at a camp fire on the beach? That could be an illegal camp fire. By your standard each of these people should be excluded from college.
Some highway onramps are short and some cars take a while to get to 60 or really 75 here in CA. Obviously no one should be in the left lane going slower than traffic, but if you're in the right lane you need to yield to the ramp. It's not just a good idea, it's the law.
It is creative if these are not universally recognized metro areas like Dallas/Ft. Worth or Urbana-Champaign. It seems to me that most metro areas would be common knowledge.
Yeah, and they made equally short sighted decisions at the time of the new deal. Now we have an expensive, broken retirement system in social security, "union protection programs" that have killed our international competitiveness, and farm subsidies that distort food prices (and help make us fat). Another program to come out of the era, the SEC, epic failed at staving off the last bubble that led to the current collapse.
Now, we risk making equally short sighted decisions by giving the government more power to distort free markets. The US is already massively in debt, though we have a sterling credit rating, and I fail to see how acquiring bad debt is going to help us out. Worse, we're setting ourselves up for the next crisis as we let big financial institutions know that they can freely leverage themselves to the nth degree, bank on a perpetually booming economy, and if the markets turn sour the government will bail them out so long as they remain "too big to fail." How do you remain too big to fail, you ask? Over leverage your assets, take the riskiest opportunities that come along.
Come the next liquidity crisis, I'll be here saying I told you so. The question is whether Uncle Sam will have enough lending power to accomplish more bailouts.

Is the UK government and authorities completely without morales?
Yes, Morales works for the U.S. I believe.

His point was that the range isn't sufficient to get out of town without stopping for hours to recharge. Obviously this doesn't apply to a hybrid.

Wow I know Scotland has a lot of sheep and whatnot, but I'm going to try and put that one out of my head.

The 79.9% stake is due to accounting rules requiring the government to put losses on its own books. Look it up, because I don't fully understand why.
