West explains: "This dark spot is trapped by a polar vortex--a jet stream that encircles Jupiter's north pole." Fast-moving winds in the vortex act like an atmospheric wall, keeping the Dark Spot corralled at high latitudes. Similar vortices encircle Earth's polar regions. Our planet's Arctic vortex is disrupted somewhat by northern land masses, but the Antarctic vortex is better organized. It plays a key role in confining the ozone hole--much as Jupiter's polar vortex confines the Great Dark Spot.

Exactly - or put another way: Walmart today tells the manufacturers the price they will buy a product from them, tomorrow they will tell them what they should tell Walmart what to sell it for.
This case (Atlantic vs. Andersen) is a civil case, not a criminal one. So strictly speaking, the child isn't being prosecuted; she's being called to testify.
IANAL but I do know that children under a certain age (which I believe varies from state to state) can't be sued in the U.S.. However their parents can be held liable for their actions, which is what appears to be the case here.
The U.S. does have a system whereby children can be prosecuted for crimes but it's done in special juvenile courts. What everybody seems to overlook (maybe because the submitter conveniently failed to mention it and nobody RTFA) is that the girl isn't the defendant in the case, but a witness against her mother, and that the case is still about the mother (allegedly) downloading music, not the girl.
So you are actually claiming the history is false? And that all the evidence is made up? And that the guys went later and changed the information they published origianlly (and that lots of people read) and no one noticed?
And that Apple cant be possibly responsible of misbehavior?
You've ben certainly brainwashed. Seriously. What history? The history of bullshit coming from Ou, Maynor and Ellch? Yup, that history is true. And well documented. So why do you still believe them?
In your mind anyone who doesn't like DRM is in the pay of riaa huh? Everybody who promotes "opening up iTunes' DRM" -something that is only good for RIAA- is a RIAA shill. You do, so you are.
Interesting. You used to call me a MS shill. Why did you change your mind? I did? Where? Thought so.
I called you a WinTroll - and who says you can't be both, when you prove you are.
They sold Millions of songs, dozens of Media Players supported it
My god! Defending WMA - you really think it's fantastic don't you?
If I followed your logic, I'd believe you were a MS shill! So you admit you and your RIAA Buddies were pissed that it didn't fulfil your hopes of world domination, so you had to force Apple to come up with something better.
The funny thing is, the movies you list that were based on books took many liberties with the story of the books to get a more action compatible movie. Like Soylent Green (is soya and lentil) and Planet of the Apes. If Charlton "My Cold Dead Body" Heston had anything to do with it?
You think wma is successful? Interesting They sold Millions of songs, dozens of Media Players supported it. Interesting that you suddenly claim it didn't.
Do you also claim Windows was the "first successful" OS?
WTF are you talking about?
Your lack of an argument. You are the very definition of a shill for hire.
In other word, no, you don't know what a shill is. IOW you admit you are one.
Funnily enough, Windows security comparisons never take any third-party software into consideration, while all Linux security comparisons do. Come on, be fair - half of the updates for Windows are for the Genuine Advantage Windows Whatever.
... that Oracle acquires SAP, just like they bought every other ERP and CRM company with a mid-large business customer base. Vultures. Somewhat unlikely since SAP has 60% the market cap of Oracle.
The poster has asked what the acronym SAP means, which is not explained in the summary. Granted the poster could simply have googled it and obtained this:
Founded in 1972 as Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing, SAP is the recognized leader in providing collaborative business solutions for all types of industries and for every major market.

Nitpick: It actually was "Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung" originally, but German confused Americans, so they changed it to something that would work in both languages. And now, like so many acronyms, it simply stopped being one.
Did you even read the thread you're repyling to? I said that Apple's DRM was successful. As were several others before, including WMA DRM. Do you also claim Windows was the "first successful" OS?
BTW - what made you change your mind & say I was RIAA shill rather than a MS shill? (Do you even know what a shill is?) You are the very definition of a shill for hire.
Even so, this is a "bad" implementation. There's absolutely no reason for there to be 1 thread per chicken. That's inherently not scalable. What you really want are an optimum number of threads for the number of cores in a pool that handle work units (chickens). This will scale much higher than the 1 thread per object model discussed in this topic.
Oh, and there's no such thing as "easy" multi-threading. Hell, the average programmer can't even grasp OO, so what makes them think they can grasp threading which has many many more aspects to it? Well, when you propose a "scallable" solution where the code has to be compiled for each possible number of cores available, and you don't take any other threads that may run on the machine into account - of course multi-threading is hard.

Shut up, Whiney Boeing Shill.
You forgot to mention that the Xbox also has a fan that's making a lot of noise - and I'm not talking about you.
Interesting point - but how do you explain that the other Airbus planes were quite successful?
As a test on Sunday, organizers boarded more than 500 people onto the aircraft using two jetways with an impressive time of less than 20 minutes.

Ohh, so all other DRM systems don't count because they sucked so much people were running and screaming. Nice try you RIAA shill.
