That would be stupid, because that's something that's easy for someone rich like Bin Laden to guess and to employ. (Obviously not Bin Laden himself, because that would be too risky, and besides, he needs a dialysis machine, but someone funded by him.)
It's extortion if he states "If you don't pay me X I will give this software/info/etc to others that can use it against you"
But doesn't this happen in perfectly legal negotiations, such as business takeover negotiations? "If you don't buy my company and its technology for the price I'm asking, I'll sell it to your competitors"...
I can't use your image for commercial purposes without your permission
Uh..... Won't this be used for commercial purposes? Are you saying Microsoft is some kind of charity? Or that posting images up with ads next to them isn't "commercial"?
Then you were replying to the wrong comment. Craig Murray's article wasn't about the feasibility of bombing with liquid explosives in the abstract. It was Murray's doubts that these particular suspects were actually going to do anything.
The problem with including everything and OR'ing statements together is that when you have 30 parameters and a well normalized database, that means joining a large number of tables.
But isn't the whole point of using a RDBMS, as opposed to something simpler like Berkely DB, that it can optimise your queries? If it's incapable of optimising queries, why are you using it?
Yes, but that's not surprising. Microsoft is all about "Developers, Developers, Developers". I don't use MS products but I'd be interested to hear what the standard of their documentation is for things other than core programming APIs.
There was a time when microsoft's patent portfolio was around 0
Either this was a case of gross incompetence, or this provides an interesting counterexample to the idea that businesses must robotically follow whatever legal course of action is likely to result in the most profits, no matter how unethical.
While that may be technically true, I'd say the police have as much right as anyone else to question him (assuming no crime was committed). "WTF did you think you were doing?" sort of thing. Social pressure is an important part of the social glue that keeps society together.
Well it's pretty obvious. Bill Gates, for example, has no need to be frugal with his bandwidth usage, so it is not in general true that higher prices forces everyone to be frugal.
You seem to have this idea that Bush has done at least some good things. Such as what? What good things has Bush actually achieved? He fucked up on Iraq, he fucked up on Katrina, he and his gang of outlaws regularly come out with breathtaking lies and propaganda...
Well, what does Bush himself think? When Bush was asked, in an interview, what he thought was the high point of his presidency, he said something about catching a big fish.
Obviously, if a Democratic President had said such a thing, the so-called "liberal" media would have been all over it, ridiculing him for making such an embarassing statement.
Huh? What is the connection between IEDs and opensource drivers for OpenBSD? Note that computer hardware typically comes with Windows drivers for free... and while registration may be required, there's absolutely nothing stopping people simply reselling after they've registered.

Just call to cancel, and when they say "Are you sure?", say "Yes" and immediately hang up. Tape record the call. Then ignore the demands for payment.

You mean vicious circle, not visual circle. HTH.
He continued "Hey, haven't you ever heard of backups? Maybe you should keep regular backups next time."
I don't think you can ptrace another user's programs, unless you are already root. And X security is on by default.
[1] Unless you're in the media and use "emails" as a noun.
Emails is a noun. The 1980s called, they want their grammar back.
You don't really think that MS would make that button scriptable, do you? I don't think even MS are that stupid.

It seems incredibly improbable that the police would only ever harass a litigant who was white.
Also, if they harass you - sue them again. And get even more money!

(a) he didn't create it, and (b) someone else would have done it anyway.
If this was only a state issue, why was FEMA involved at all? Idiot.
