Actually, while you're correct to the extent that it's not a generally known facet of Judaism, reincarnation is a prominent concept in Rabbi Isaac Luria's Kabbalah:
or has good lawyers, because I assume releasing such a tool to the public could get Finisterre into a lot of legal trouble. I've read that utility companies don't really like being screwed with.
The thing that bothers me about Google to this day is that there's no way to rank normal web searches by any type of date criterion. If I search keywords looking for pages related to contemporary news with a normal Google search, it's quite probable that among the top hits will be an article from 1997.
Google News is much more functional in this regard, obviously, but it would be nice if a normal Google search were date sensitive. Yes, I know that that would require proper metadata tagging of the entire Internet if one wanted to implement such a schema in a proper fashion. But since we're dreaming, I dare to dream.
They have no such obligation. They can simply terminate your account or take one-sided "administrative" measures. Since your NetSol account is not a right, you have none to it. You could argue breach of contract, but I'd advise you to read your contract again -- in all likelihood, it allows NetSol to terminate your account for any and all reasons, if they so choose.
Yeah, they do have such an obligation according to the DMCA, but good luck enforcing it. I would cite you the specific part for you to read because it is very clear, but I don't have time to do so right now. Read up on what the DMCA says on counter-notices and reinstatement of service.
Yeah, but who is going to do the slapping? There won't be proper plaintiffs ready to do battle over youtube videos, unless someone somehow gets them together to form a class-action lawsuit. Unlikely.
It's also somewhat interesting that the youtube venue provides no opportunity for the exercise of DMCA counter-notices, which are an important part of the law. Perhaps it's time to move controversial videos to a site that will have a bit more of a backbone and not allow the powerful to walk all over those who don't even get the rights they're entitled to by law. (I wonder if youtube has any criteria at all for evaluating the validity of these notices before it complies.)
On the other hand, unscrupulous web hosts (such as NetSol, for one) have and will continue to ignore their legal obligation to maintain service after proper counter-notice is given - despite the fact that the law is very clear that doing so can open up statutory liability on their part. When a company perceives a power-imbalance they're likely to side with the one they perceive to be more powerful, regardless of what the law says or the truth of the claims involved.
I suppose the Internet needs a video site like Wikileaks serious about free speech enough not to cave into threats. Otherwise, not only are opposing voices stifled, but powerful interests like Scientology may be emboldened to go after and seek the removal of criticism in other forms of online media across the Internet.
Does anyone know what usually happens in these obscene roaming charge situations? Do they eventually get settled, or are victims mostly forced to file for bankruptcy?
Congress gave immunity to the complicit telecom companies, but that doesn't mean the authority was granted to carry out domestic warrant-less wiretaps in the future.
I don't think you have done the wiretaps subject much justice with that post. The SCOTUS has affirmed the (Article II) right of the Executive branch to conduct warrant-less wiretaps on foreign targets, but it has stated that warrants are still required for domestic wiretaps. If you have evidence that Congress overrode the Court, I'd like to see it because such action by Congress would be unconstitutional. As for judicial oversight of NSLs, take a look at Wikipedia's coverage.
It's pretty cool that Wikipedia has become a de-facto official source of leaks for such information. Fox News was reporting that Palin had moved to the top of the list but had no confirmation of her selection about an hour before officials confirmed it, and at that time they reported that Wikipedia listed her as the pick. Someone within the campaign evidently leaked it to Wikipedia before leaking it to offline media.

The original Mac team was filed with absolute sheer geniuses. You may not appreciate that fact unless you've read folklore.org or the book form, Revolution in the Valley, since there is the tendency in the popular media not to focus on the technical side of the Mac's creation. The incredible work they did, especially given the paucity of computing resources at their disposal at the time, is truly awe inspiring. And one piece of knowledge you gain through these stories is the fact that the Mac's engineers viewed themselves as far lower in ability as compared to the Woz. If you haven't read these stories yet, you only know a small part of the story of the Mac's creation. This interview should whet your appetite for the rest of the story.
How do you know for a fact that Unix (based OSs) won't be able to cut it in 30 years? It seems to me that you're advocating radical theoretical change down the line just for the sake of radical change. There's no proof that Unix will necessarily be outmoded by then. If civilization survives another 50 years, we'll probably still be using a lot of the same types of technology we use now.
Did an Intel marketing manager get the name superspeed from his or her 4 year-old? Couple that with Core i7 and you've got. . . pretty crappy names. I guess Intel's naming schemes have historically stunk (mostly). Here are my suggestions for USB 4, 5 and 6:

Who didn't assume the Chinese would "cheat to win" at least a few times in this Olympics? They want to dazzle the world and win as many medals as possible. One has to assume they'll resort to unsavory tactics as long as plausible deniability exists.
On another Olympics note, does anyone else think there have been an unusually high number of errors in the technical events this year? Perhaps I just wasn't watching that closely in previous years, but I thought there have been an inordinate number of falls (off balance beams), poor landings and other substantial technical failures by the competitors. We've had outstanding performances by the likes of Phelps and Bolt, but otherwise there's been a lot of sucking by these elite athletes.
If you're going to spend on the poor at all, spend predominately on Americans. Helping out other countries is fine, but the American president's primary and overriding obligation is to the well-being and betterment of America. Invest in areas of the economy that will produce jobs for Americans. Better yet, lower taxes across the board, get federal spending in line and allow the people to keep more of their hard earned money so that they can create jobs, invest and generally take better care of their own lives. That's what a responsible candidate for the presidency would advocate. But B.H.O. wants to be president of the world - that's the problem. His politics are better suited to the socialist regimes of old Europe. Perhaps he should be running for office over there instead.
It seems your city is more civilized than Seattle. Those hi-tech crappers were being abused and weren't clean at all. I'll pay for certain things as a tax payer, but $5M toilets aren't one of them.
He finds ways to justify all sorts of unconstitutional, unnecessary spending of the American tax payer's dollar (like his proposed $80B/year for international poverty), so why not NASA?

That's mostly sales and not really a computer/tech job.
the third class should prepare juniors and seniors to enter the workforce and start a career in computers.
Are any employers anywhere willing to hire high schoolers in any tech jobs in today's economy?

must have been swimming in their people's money to buy $5M in toilets. If I were a resident I'd be quite enraged over it.
