do seem to make a right. To wit, defendants in a patent infringement suit almost always counter-sue based on a patent they own, and the whole thing is usually settled out of court.
I don't know who the fuck hired the morons who decided to implement timed-out sessions with fucking HTTP authentication when they could just have used a form+cookies like everybody else, but he deserves a long, slow, painful and debilitating death. Basically, when you click "Log off," you can't log back in any more until you quit and restart the browser. How usable!
That, and their LDAP auth is broken, and has been known broken for a couple years, and they don't seem to be bothered to fix it any time soon. Basically it only works if there's only one group in the directory. I guess that got covered by their shitty test plan. Seeing how the interface is brain dead, it's quite likely that the underlying code is a steaming pile of crap and anyone but the mental patient who wrote the first version would jump out the window in horror after looking at it.
If the photog took the pic and put it on FB without asking the subject, isn't that some sort of copyright infringement to begin with? So if you copy the picture, what are they going to sue you for? Infringing on their infringement?
He was planning a contitutional change that the judges thought was unconstitutional, but since he hadn't even done the referendum, there was no basis for removing it at that point, if there were to be any to begin with.
The ~referendum that Zelaya was planning might well have been unconstitutionnal, but he didn't get to do it. Hence he did not break the constitution. Therefore the coup cannot begin to be justified by this stupid talking point.
But anyway, there is very good precedent for that kind of thing. De Gaulle ran a referendum in 1958 that gave birth to what we call the Vth Republic, a major change in the type of government (from parliamentary to mostly presidential).There was no provision for this kind of change in the IVth Republic's constitution, therefore it was unconstitutionnal stricto sensu. But constitutionnalists agree that the will of the people takes precedence over the letter of the constitution, esp. when such a vote is won with as significant margin as it was.
Opponents didn't spare the General and called him a dictator. He replied back with a question, "if you look back at what I have done and how I've fought tyranny, do I look like a dictator? And would I begin such a carreer at my age?"
But don't let history get in the way of your rightard talking points. I just want to point out that your ugly type is not in power anymore, at least in the US. (Unfortunately, we have inherited the Bush Jr's diminutive love slave in the mean time)
Seriously. What has been done? Published? Learned?... that couldn't have been learned for a 1/1000th of the price with automated flights? And to be clear I believe we should invest much more in space exploration. But not that useless, dangerous and expensive crap. Mars rovers, space telescopes, relativity probes, radar imaging of other planets, return of comet samples... all have produced thousands of scientific results and millions of awesome images. The ISS? Meh. While costing several times more than the rest combined.
The ISS has barely any scientific value. It's a very expensive toy. For the same price a big ass interferometric telescope could be put in a Lagrange point which could resolve earth-like planets and possibly find life in other solar systems. What has the ISS achieved? Nothing. Seriously. Nothing. Especially compared to the coolness of the Mars rovers, Mars Science Lab, Galileo, Cassini, Hubble and so on.
This is just Sarközy trying to save face. This law is even more unconstitutionnal that the previous one, and it's going to be bitchslapped down by the constitutionnal council once more, and worse. For instance, they've added a crime for not securing one's internet connection, punished by a hefty fine. Given that it is impossible to achieve 100% security, even for a security professional, it is simply absurd to require it of the common net user.
They still don't care that it's technically impossible. They believe their own bullshit.
Everyone knows this won't pass the CC. Even most of the majority. (Many are not pleased that Sarkoléon is marching them towards the cliff, but they are good little soldiers, like GOP congressmen under Bush. Which is fitting, considering how Sarközy got elected by applying Rove's methods.) The Council was damning in its first rejection. Not only did it nuke the damn thing's only mean of coercion, charitably leaving the useless part standing; but it also reserved the right to nuke it further in the future.
Right up until the end I thought it was a moderately funny (ok, not even that funny) CollegeHumor video or something. Then I realised it's serious. Holy shit. Who are these people? They're among us, but they're not like us. They have no sense of... ridicule? Shame? They're not human.
and a poster child against software patents. It's *very* expensive for small players, it's incompatible with free media, the terms are almost impossible to comprehend (or at least you need several "IP" lawyers on staff), plus you aren't even assured that you won't be sued in Texas by some scum sucking, syphillitic pus-drinking, rotting corpse-devouring and worm-infested defecation-eating patent troll.
I just had to install ClamAV on a few hundred Linux servers just to satisfy PCI-DSS requirement. Before PCI v1.2 it explicitly stated that AVs might no be necessary on Unix systems. Now it doesn't; it just needs to be installed "where applicable" or somesuch. My guess is that they had been lobbied by the scumbags at Microsoft or Symantec. Evidently, it's completely pointless. But the scumbags will point you to a few POCs that have never been *seen* in the wild. The problem is that all AVs have vulnerabilities at one point or another, and that they could be used to gain access to elevate privileges, while giving absolutely NO, ZERO, NADA benefit for Linux servers. And btw: I'm talking about VIRUSES. Not other forms of malware. There is malware on Linux. Just viruses. We do scan for rootkits with Ossec; but since it's not an "antivirus," we can't check the goddamn box. So we check our Linux servers... mostly for windows viruses. Awesome. Especially considering that it's on a completely isolated network with 0 Windows client.
Indeed there are a large number of old, decrepit applications out there, such as those running on MSDOS, old Cobol programs, or even worse, IE5 intranet crapware.
Windows has file permissions, too. Thats not the issue. The issue is more RPM/DEB and the fact that most users can install all they need through a trusted channel (yum/apt).
As for the UK, they spend significantly less than the rest of Europe on health care; and that's most likely not enough. There is no such shortage problem in neighbouring countries.
Limits the ability of a new employer plan to exclude coverage for preexisting conditions; -- that's a far cry from "you cannot exclude." And that's only for employer-provided plans. Since not all do provide one, that's really pointless.
fitting a trend line to some random shit is retarded.
For fuck's sake, you can take ANY set of data, *including* completely random data AND run the calculation to get a "best fit."
But you wouldn't know that, because if you did you woulnd't believe such crude, ridiculous propaganda.
Also note that when you do this calculation you get a correlation coefficient which tells you how well the data fits. It's not displayed here. Convenient.
Haven't had time to find out what proctological study they pulled their data out of, but one thing's sticking out like a sore thumb: their "best fit" (the violet line). Basically they're applying a formula meant to find the line that fit bests a set of points that look like they're on a straight line... to something that's evidently NOTHING like a straight line at all. It would be completely retarded and incompetent, if it wasn't so obvious that they are lying scumbags and know that they can get away with such gross manipulation since their audience is composed mainly of retards, amoebas and lower life forms like conservatives and creationists.
According to Exxon or its PR team (GOPFOX inc.), it is controversial. To the scientific community, it is about as controversial as evolution, the Big Bang, the germ theory of disease or the wave/particle duality.

They're not human.
They're not content with having hardware makers pay, they charge for encoding, decoding and software, if they can get away with it.

So we check our Linux servers
First intelligent comment.
Indeed there are a large number of old, decrepit applications out there, such as those running on MSDOS, old Cobol programs, or even worse, IE5 intranet crapware.
I do it all the time (never been a big fan of vi/emacs) to edit files through gvfs+sftp.
Windows has file permissions, too. Thats not the issue. The issue is more RPM/DEB and the fact that most users can install all they need through a trusted channel (yum/apt).
The GPL is a license to copy, modify and distribute. When you download something, you do nothing of the sort.
I'm talking about the health insurance industry.
As for the UK, they spend significantly less than the rest of Europe on health care; and that's most likely not enough. There is no such shortage problem in neighbouring countries.
Limits the ability of a new employer plan to exclude coverage for preexisting conditions; -- that's a far cry from "you cannot exclude." And that's only for employer-provided plans. Since not all do provide one, that's really pointless.
No waiting list in France. Except for transplants, but that's for a lack of materials.
The UK probably has the most indigent health system in Europe. They spend much less on average, probably not as much as is really necessary.
fitting a trend line to some random shit is retarded.

doesn't mean that I couldn't succesfully perform brain surgery.
Oh wait, the analogy doesn't work, climate science is sooo easy, I mean, what am I thinking.

I'm going to go ahead and let him perform brain surgery.
