It's far easier for most people to be empathic about a furry warm blooded cow or cute little chick than a slimy fish blankly-staring fish or what is essentially a tasty ocean spider.
There will never be any protection for some animals equivalent to the cruelty laws for cats and dogs simply because most people draw a mental line between animals they like and don't. Reptiles, fish, and invertebrates will generally be on the "don't give a shit" side of that line regardless of what science has to say about whether they feel pain.
Try running updates and patches during the day in most environments and you'll get lynched by the users.
Wish I was in one of those environments. The people charged with my employer's servers' well being tend to like starting update pushes around 9am eastern.
An anemic processor, low memory, windows XP, virus scanner such as Symantec that's set to scan files on creation or access, Citrix, and a poorly performing network.
How are medium-large site owners supposed to pay their bills?
To summarize the prevailing groupthink: There's no ethical difficulty in using a service that is nominally paid for via ad serving and then blocking the ads regardless of intrusiveness. Oh and we don't want to pay for content either.
Yeah, having thought about it you're right, in English the drug/medicine distinction really is fairly tenuous and depends a little on context and a lot on the speaker.
The distinction between "drug" and "medicine" or "medication" is similar in English, however in this litigious society it seems no one is willing to set this distinction down in policy, either due to laziness in training/defining what is what, or the fear of litigation in the case of an "medicine" being abused and someone coming to ask the school why they didn't do anything.
How are the two set apart legally where you are? Potential for abuse, or effect of the chemical or similar?
Depends on what you're looking to use it for really (Gaming vs general audio vs movies, etc)
I have a Xonar DX from Asus, while its EAX emulation was initially spotty, they're making great strides towards improving that aspect of it, and hardware-wise it's superior to the Creative cards.
Onboard optical out was a big plus for me personally, as was the on-the-fly conversion to a Dolby signal (DTS, iirc, which last i checked the creative cards can't do, they just pass through dolby sound from DVDs and the like)
Canned, and possibly charged with something if you mention the "disgruntled employee calling the BSA" because at that point YOU are the disgruntled employee and that will certainly be taken as a threat.
Two lines of thinking here...(and both could be wildly inaccurate) 1) Lawyers, medical practitioners, even engineers (as in, taken the FE & PE, licensed, etc) are held to a standard of practice, legally and via professional organizations that control licensing. IT, for example, has no such established "standard" by which to prove negligence.
2) IT (again for example) workers generally don't have "clients" as such, they work for a company. Knowing that, it would be hard to argue that one has given the impression that he or she is "representing" you without being in a consultant-client relationship already.
they *work* on my work PC, but there's hiccups now and then. Then again this machine is a piece of crap, so for all I know it's a memory issue, not a javascript/firefox defeciency

They're about 10 years out from having a marketable product.

No one with a non-SDHC enabled device is required to use SDHC cards though (So far)

A failure in much the same way Wall Street considers a company which has grown, but not as much as projected, a failure.
That whole "hell/demons/damned" thing in Spawn probably didn't help much.
Remember, the Doom movie cut that out entirely (not necessarily specifically to make it rate better)

You shouldn't even let the Boy Scouts of America into the building. Only let girl scouts in, and that's only if they bring thin mints.
Fixed.
Whoops, meant to reply to the GP

I wonder if a court would consider his disclaimer a "good enough" effort, since you've willfully disabled that functionality.

Formatting, I'd guess.
That happens to some of us when we look at slash on PCs...
Here's hoping my heart stops beating shortly after my musical tastes stop changing
I would love to move to a fob system, but unfortunately (as another poster mentioned) that's just too damn complicated for many of my countrymen.
IBM, actually.
Most insightful typo ever
