Anyone remember open battlenet? Idiot judge in that case shut down the totally open-source, non-commerical open battle net server which allowed people to run their own private Startcraft/Warcraft servers on their own private networks. Sure it could allow people to play others without a valid serial number, but it opened up another very interesting legal question: can certain software be considered illegal?
If you have a good tracking app, the results from that should be enough to get a warrant. Unless they have an expensive lawyer, it's unlikely to get thrown out too. They can usually get such warrants in under an hour as well.
In this situation it's not that easy. I have the feeling they're trying to aggregate data across a lot of different school systems to understand what is happening and create papers and reports people can use. Decentralized engines won't help achieve that. Even with anonymous IDs, you still need to track students, and really each student in a family (to judge family trends) and that ID has so much of their other information that it could be traversed back to the individual.
People are afraid of deflation, layoffs, reduction in force, etc. But it's sad because it's a failure to realize sometimes that maybe technology has brought us to the point where we don't need those jobs. We could staff fewer people and pay them all more and free up other people for more interesting jobs. I mean really, we should have a TON more robots right now.
But we have this feeling everyone has to work; you gotta do what you gotta do and all that bullshit. So we pay people less, work them more and people are afraid of being automated because they like that paycheck.
In all the videos the people leading the protests told everyone to put their firearms away and not show any weapons; always keep their hands in plane sign.
If one person had pulled out a gun, we would have seen a bloodbath.
You still need to file. If you make over $90k USD, then it is taxable. Otherwise you don't need to pay, but you still need to file.
I just filed yesterday with $0 liability/return.
Fun fact, the United States is one of two countries in the entire world that taxes citizens on their income, even when they don't live in the country. The other is Eritrea which has a 2% tax for citizens living abroad.
...and still no properties. Seriously? getBlah()? setBlah()? I'm so glad I switched to Scala for newer development and that I even convicned my company to let us do more Scala development. The devs who are using Scala like it better and seem generally happier.
Java 8 == Absolutely none of the features we wanted and a lot of stuff I could care less about.
Google Glass is not a heads up display. But a real heads up display is actually really helpful. It's focused at infinity so your speed seems to be part of the world in front of you. Yes, you shouldn't focus on it; but it does allow you to keep your eyes up and looking around, not going back down to the speedo to make sure you're not more than 10 over the limit.
So in Australia, talking on your phone in a car is baned, not just texted. Although you can talk on your phone if you have a handsfree (bluetooth ear piece or built-in to the car; you can only look at your phone to answer it).
I avoid the issue entierly because I sold my car two years ago.
> North Korea, not having any Netizens, presumably gets a perfect score in this regard. I suggest the whole thing is hopelessly biased.
Even with the new metrics, The DPRK had a score of 179, 2nd from the bottom of the list!
Seems acculturate too, since speaking out against the government (or even being accused of speaking against the government) of North Korea leads almost immediately to a labour camp. (DPRK is classified by many indexes as a "Slave State" based economy.
It is actually a serious problem. A laser hitting the cockpit windshield reflects and temporally blinds the pilot...very dangerous during takeoffs and landings.
That being said, I totally agree with the previous commenter being bat shit crazy. Harsher penalties won't stop the action. You need to fix the plans so they don't have issues when it with lasers.
Ummm...that's...insane. Let's bankrupt a 13 year old who just doesn't know any better.
Here's a better idea. What if airplane manufactures could design their aircraft windshields in such a way as to let in normal light, but reflect high intensity lasers. Hey, that would help in parts of the world where laws like this are totally unenforceable, like international pilots who fly into low and mid income nations.

If one rover discovered a massive reserved of oil on mars, we would be there yesterday.
YES! That's exactly what I thought (my dad worked in nuclear power for my entire life, and one of my good friends works for the NRC)

Wait...IE6 is still supported? WTF?!
It's the new OS/2

I don't think slaves get paid

People can get access to horrible transcripts that vaguely resemble words you said...or random noise it decides are words.

It's like that episode of Futurama
Iceweasel is a direct port I believe due to the Mozilla binary/branding issue (that Gentoo avoids interestingly enough, with a disclaimer).
Firefox fork in the future?
How childish
