Just out of curiosity, have you tried doing all 3 of those at the same time? No, but I have fallen asleep during sex (I probably would have gotten away with it if I hadn't started snoring).
Even if the prosecution fails because only the Attorney General is allowed to file, it might shame the government into taking the action that it was supposed to in the first place.
(and make sure that the phone company saves the logs of your calls).
So, I send you an SMS, then you reply with an SMS, Our respective ISPs charge each other 3p (which cancels out to 0), and they use this as a reason to charge us 30p? Oh yeah... real good!.
I'm not even going to dignify his so-called 'mea-culpa' by quoting it -- suffice it to say he falls on his nail-file, calling it a sword, while throwing back-handed insults at the people who simply did a far better due diligence on this case than he did (if he really did any at all).
First of all, a true falling-on of the sword would be him admitting that he sucks an analyst and resigning his post at Forbes. (I'm not holding my breath).
Secondly, he gives extremely short shrift to the people at Groklaw -- an incredibly synergistic group ranging from complete beginners through to senior and retired senior IT and law professionals -- a group that does detailed work produces (and archives) their background evidence and pulls no punches.
As pro-Open Source as GrokLaw may be, if it really looked like SCO was going to win, Groklaw would have honestly admitted it -- mostly because that would be information that the Open Source community would need to have.
Unlike Lyons, Groklaw is not interested in either deluding itself, or ignoring obvious evidence.... and if Lyons is going to use the fact that he completely mis-read one case as an excuse for ignoring meticulously complied evidence that he had mis-called another case, then Bob Lyons is worse than useless as an analyst. If what he wrote in his so-called apology is really the basis of his analysis, then I'd be better off throwing darts at a dartboard than listening to him. At least I wouldn't be constrained by his (past failures.
"Because it is, in essence, a simple machine, it is easy to see similar devices being pressed into service in places with extremely dubious reputations."
The ones that already use Kalashnikovs for crowd control? I'll take the ray over stopping a round, thx. I was thinking of places that use the M-16s, like the White House, Guantanimo, Abu Ghraib, Bolivia....
Right now the USD is dropping like a rock... what with everything being manufactured in China and blown up in Iraq, there's not much good news for the US dollar.
I figure it's 50/50 whether or not the USD is blow the CAD by the end of the month.
My understanding was that GI stood for General Infantry.
It wasn't just Arayan gay model types that fought against Hitler and his crew.
The one unit type that the germans really hated being thrown against was the Russian Female reserves. Those babes took and gave no quarter! (and they really knew what to do when they had their their enemy by the balls.)
Canada, Australia, Britain, India... and even Russia (once Hitler turned on Stalin).
It's the 21st Century buddy -- Get with the program!
This article should be viewed in the context of Microsoft's press release which trumpeted how 75% of the countries voting wanted OOXML to pass the fast-track process.
Thing is that most of those 53 countries that voted for OOXML rarely vote at all, and -- as this article points out -- many of those who suddenly decided to join the conversation and vote yes have a high perceived corruption index.
As a number of people have pointed out, 7% is above the 5% normally needed to consider the correlation "proven", but it's still low enough that I'm willing to let the fog of possible corruption hang over those countries that voted yes.
Ever heard the quote "Kill them all and let god sort it out later?" It was a papal representative who said it, and he wasn't kidding. He wasn't even talking about muslim 'heathens' in the crusade. The question was how to distinguish 'heretic cathar' christians from good catholics.
Remember that it's acceptable to make fun of Geeks, Christians, Buddists, Jews, Scientologists, Atheists, and LoS (Libertarians on Slashdot). But never make fun of Islam, the religion of peace, because they might cut off your head and car bomb your friends.
Then again, there's George Bush. Bush, of course, is too civilized to use suicide bombers. He uses Cruise Missiles, F-15s and gunships.
Germany is actually in pretty good shape. To the extent to which they can be seen to be having problems, it is because they ate East Germany and it's seriously stagnant economy. Up until West Germany ate the East, it was considered a good bit more productive than the US (per capita).
Canada is in generally good shape. Some of our cities often rate among the most desirable places to live in the world. For now, we have a decent comprehensive health care system which, among other things, means that you don't have to sue random people to pay your hospital bill if your arm gets broken. Biggest problem for Canada, in terms of structural economics is a rather wide dispersion of our population, and the US (being our biggest economic partner) trying to jerk us around to satisfy their economic interests.
If he chose to counter-sue viacom over this clip, I doubt that their 'fair use' claim would stand up in court. At the very worst, he could expect to end up in a 'Mexican standoff' where his posting of their commentary about his add isn't fair use, and their use of his entire add isn't fair use.
Given that their commentary on his ad was probably 30 seconds from a 1/2hour show, he's got a much better chance of getting away with fair use than VIACOM does.
(( IANAL, if you want a real legal opinion, buy one from someone with a license to sell them. ))
What the hell are you doing still buying shit from Sony, anyways?
You realize, of course, that they did this to punish you for continuing to do business with them.
This reminds me of a friend who saw a meth-head walking down the street with a badly infected self-pierced ear. The methie kept on tugging on the ring in that ear, going
<tug> ow!
<tug> ow!

If you ever figure out to stop doing it, it'll stop hurting so much.
An IPod's software doesn't have to prove to the MPAA that it's not running on a virtualized CPU, and it doesn't need the ability to shut itself down if you do anything 'unusual' with it -- like try to play high-quality sound on analog speakers. Free music is in the past dude. Get with the future of Digital Restriction Measures -- Get with Vista!
Remember folks, this is a feature, not a bug. You didn't expect to give up your freedoms to get improved performance did you? Features like the inability to play certain music without rhyme or reason don't come for free you know. If you want (ugh!) freedom you should go to something like (ick) Linux.
No need to wait. Sue NASA! I'm sure that they have a universe-associated database somewhere.... and data on the earth too.. down to one or two points of interest.
They have members in the trenches who know, intimately, what's going on down there. They also don't have the kind of "profit at all costs" attitude that the 'corner office' denizens have.
More notably, their members are more likely to live in areas negatively affected by 'degrading copper but no fiber' (unlike executives who were probably (magically) in early-release fiber zones).
On the other hand, the union really can't bite too hard on the hand that feeds them because, if it goes gangrenous, they're gonna end up with a bad taste in their mouth. They also can't make a clearly false statement because, if they do, the company can -- and will -- sue them from here to Sunday (and will have easy access to all the documentation needed to prove the lie).
Now, the one implied point of the parent that I can agree with is that -- when contract negotiations are close -- the forces that strike a balance between biting the hand that feeds you (in the hopes of getting more food) and quietly eating what you've been fed will shift towards biting. Even so, making (provably) false statements that hurt the company are too much of a lose-lose proposition for the union for me to believe that they're lying through their teeth about this.
It does make sense to let the old system die a slow and horrible death if your competition has access to the old system but can be shut out of the new system (which is, apparently, the case with the current regulatory setup).
There's absolutely no problem with verizon's copper infrastructure. I'm using Verizon right now from our headquarters and we've never had any sorts of prsd0023[(23
