Maybe she is an SCO writer who was supposed to convert to backing SCO at a key moment and decided to double-cross SCO! Or they wanted to try to make it look like she was an IBM writer to make IBM look bad, but it backfired!!
Isn't this the same guy promising virgins in the afterlife to his suicide bombers? If you believe that, i know some Nigerians that have some yellowcake Uranium to sell you...
Don't be fooled by this 'it's all our fault' mentality folks.
This is one of the stupidest talking point i've heard someone on slashdot repeat. And that's saying something. There are plenty of countries that follow Islamic law that have terrorists blowing up people. You are saying that if the entire country followed Sharia law they'd suddenly love us? Sunnis and Shi'ites love each other right? Bah.
She almost got fired for keeping her workplace secure? That's a really stupid chairman.
Notice that in your quote that Emerson is referring to "foolish consistency." It sounds like she is foolishly consistent. She lets some people in without their key card, so she is inconsistent.
Why would it be a good idea to buzz people in she doesn't know?
This has less to do with Net neutrality and more to do with not spoofing (fraudulent) packets. You can still shape traffic, you just can't fraudulently send packets to people.
I switched to a full OS X user (same speed as windows) with in 3 months. The only reason it took that long is that i am/was a power user in Windows using Window-P- to open apps in 3 keys strokes and such. There are a number of Apps i can't live without being installed on OS X, but once they are installed and my wetware is reprogrammed into OSX mode, i can move faster then when my brain is in XP mode on an XP machine.
quicksilver - i am keystrokes away from my apps witch - gives better control of "command-tab" Ctrl-F2 - takes me to the menu bar (most annoying key combo) command-tab: cycle forwards through open apps Command-`: cycle through an app's open windows command-m: minimizes window (annoying to get back from dock) command-h: hides windows command-w: closes window command-q: closes app
And I reversed my Function keys to not require fn, and i added the preference to be able to tab to all fields inside apps.
How is it a free market if I can't make a dvd player that plays any DVD no matter where it is encoded? Do you think that people would buy, ie: the market would choose, a DVD player that would read any DVD disk? Legislatively, not because of market forces, but legislatively, people are not allowed to make DVD players that play any region encoded disk.
A free market would not limit my choice through laws. You are mistaken if you think a free market means "you are free not to buy." If that is your definition then every market is a free market.
The state of being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. That is, from a distance, a fractally wrong person's worldview is incorrect; and furthermore, if you zoom in on any small part of that person's worldview, that part is just as wrong as the whole worldview.
Debating with a person who is fractally wrong leads to infinite regress, as every refutation you make of that person's opinions will lead to a rejoinder, full of half-truths, leaps of logic, and outright lies, that requires just as much refutation to debunk as the first one. It is as impossible to convince a fractally wrong person of anything as it is to walk around the edge of the Mandelbrot set in finite time.
If you ever get embroiled in a discussion with a fractally wrong person on the Internet--in mailing lists, newsgroups, or website forums--your best bet is to say your piece once and ignore any replies, thus saving yourself time.
It won't reduce mouse travel time, because it will increase inaccuracy.
How poor do you think my aim is that i need MILE HIGH buttons?
In fact having to hit ctrl-F2 to get to the menubar without using the mouse is more of a failure then having 10x30 pixel buttons. One thing that windows has gotten right is the accelerator keys so I don't even need accuracy with the mouse. I really wish there was an easy way to operate the menubar without using the mouse.
Actually, this tells me that corruption is tolerated. I'm betting Cisco failed to grease palms and they are paying for it now. The only reason you need such a wide scale operation means that someone with power is pissed off. Big companies that refuse to pay bribes are having trouble doing business in 3rd world nations because the smaller companies are more likely to pay the bribes needed to move projects along.
I don't see how this is related to the Executive branch at all so why is congress not a neutral party? Congress doesn't even need to bring the executive branch into this issue.
I don't see how there is any confusion or even a leg to stand on here. If what they did was illegal, it's illegal despite what anyone in the executive branch says. Congress should just ignore the smokescreen of bringing the executive branch into this issue and concentrate on compelling the telcos to testify or be punished. And then follow up with punishing them when it turns out they broke the law.
Actually, i didn't even realize Canada was big enough to have a mint. Why don't they just use US dollars?
Or even trade in those canadian flags that every single tourist attaches to their backpack. Canadian flags could trade against the one dollar bill and those "Canadian Chicks Rock" t-shirts could be their 10-dollar bill.
You've thought about this for all of 5 seconds, huh?
The man went into a private business, and thus should abide by the private businesses rules on their property. I do agree that the police were out of line, but so was the customer. Is it a not a key point in liberty to have total control of your own property?
So you wouldn't mind being fondled by CC employees if that is their policy? Even more so, you wouldn't mind being imprisoned by the employees indefinitely if you turned around and left the store after hearing the policy? I mean you are still on private property--too bad that you can't get off the property now that you gave up all of your rights for being there...
I can't wait until you step foot on my lawn so i can punch you in the face, since that is my policy.
I can assure you they have a legal basis for the charges.
In which case the laws are rediculous, and ANYONE could be charged with having a hoax device. Especially because they didn't report anything about her making threatening movements or verbal threats. Funny looking bag? Hoax device--arrest or shoot the person. Drop your walkman and it opens up revealing electronics? Hoax device--arrest or shoot the person.
If that is a hoax device, then the law is overly broad. Everyone should do their part and report anyone they see with funnly looking bags until they realize how stupid it is.
You are already assuming that they are incompetent Cops and can only think to choose between tazering the student or protecting their crouches. You are insinuating a much worst statement against the cops then i was.
If you "passively resist" in front of a charging horse, there is a good chance that you'll get kicked by a horse, just like if you "passively resist" in the middle of the street,
Actually that isn't true. If you and a large number of friends clog up a city street, there is a good chance you won't get hit by a car. There are laws against running over pedestrians in the street--even if they aren't supposed to be there.
Why would that be insane if Police are known to not ride over people? Next you'll be saying people getting hit in the crosswalk are insane for crossing the street with the walk signal. I mean they are in the street where cars drive, right? Why should they complain about getting hit by cars? OMFG.
Then again you might be a little slow to understand what passive resistance is since you are suggesting that it is a good policy to do violence to people that are passively resisting.

I spot a major difference that one is a protected work in movie form and one is a protected work in game form. Do i win something?
Now for the bad news....Both are protected by copyright and trademark law, and both have parody exceptions.
But that just hurts the point you are going to make. The only difference between the two is what media they are recorded in.

It really doesn't have to be that complicated.
