I also disagree. 6 years is nothing. He should've gotten more. All jail terms in this country are too piddly. Murders and Rapists should instantly get life, instead of these crappy plea deals, and early parroll.
Legit question, since I've never taken part in a laptop Battery recall of any kind. When you return a recalled laptop battery, how long do you have to wait to get a new battery? Does that mean you now have a non-portable laptop until they provide you with the new battery? Does this mean I would have to go out and by a new / backup battery until I receive the new one? How does that all work? Thanks in advance.
> The President objects to things he doesn't understand.
Clearly untrue! The President has always been an avid supporter of the war in Iraq
I love it how lazy couch potato video game addicted Americans claim they understand stuff like the War on Terror better than the President and other government officials who are right in the thick of things. I mean clearly these lazy Americans are not at all biased by the slanted media. They also have absolutely no tendancy to become impatient and start to just look at where they can point their fingers. Oh no, I can't afford to go to the movies! I must blame the President, the War, Gas Prices, and every other item out of my control. It by no means has anything to do with the fact that I throw all my money away on dvd's, alcohol, video games, and whatever else. It also has nothing to do with the fact that I can't hold a job because I get bored easily and claim to have several disorders that make it hard for me to concentrate. Everybody is just looking for handouts and a place to point their finger if they don't get them.
most of those folks don't protest against wars and have no problem sending our young folks off to a dubious war.
Where's their outrage over those lives?
They have a voice? They can choose to be part of the military or not. Last I checked, there was no draft.
Bush will claim something like, "By sticking to our upstanding morals, we have driven science further than any other generation ever."
I was thinking the exact same thing you were, but not as sarcastic. If this article is true, then I see this as a victory for both parties... one side gets their science with morals, the other side still gets their science. If this is accepted, what's the problem here?
I'm pro-life and voted for GW (a minority on/. from the sounds of it), but I for one would be very pleased and happy to vote for this new stem cell research. As long as it is confirmed that the embryos are not being harmed, I am all for this. I don't have an ethical issue with cloning (although I see it as a major problem if the technology was abused... just take for example several of the movies that have been released about cloning). I would hope that GW would come out supporting this new stem cell research that does not harm the embryo.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the article above say the "vehicle" was officially named Orion. The project, as you so pointed out, was already named Orion, but they apparently hadn't release what the vehicle was going to be called? Although common sense would tell you.
Early this year, Google successfully defended a subpoena from the US Department of Justice to hand over its data in another child porn investigation case.
Brazil is by no means a totalitarian regime but its privacy laws differ from those of the US.
If a Brazilian judge decides that Google must hand over data or pay a hefty fine and shut down its local operations then it sets a dangerous precedent for Google.
I don't think Brazil's legal system is as porn friendly as the US legal system. I bet ya that Google will have to hand over something in this case, or risk being tossed out of Brazil.
The defendants marked 3,449 exhibits, but only admitted 107 of them at trial.
Does the defendant have to say "Your Honor, I'd like to admit exhibit X into the court records as evidence" for each one? That would be a long trial, even if only 107 were admitted!
A German semiconductor company with offices in San Jose said Monday that it has received an order from the U.S. government for millions of identification chips that will be embedded in passports to help prevent fraud at border crossings.
Why do we always have to get everything from the Germans? (beer & cars for example) Why can't the government contract this out to good ol' American workers? Especially since it deals with National Security?
Well, now you did it. I'm sure a Microsoft worker got wind of this/. article, saw your post, and now they're going to buy out CrossOver Office and call it their own. Way to go!
"Microsoft will fight the total cost of ownership [issue] with a very inexpensive office solution," he said. "I do not think that they will open source Office, but they will make it available to run on Linux desktops."
Who will use this? Sure, I can see Microsoft doing this, as the article says, in order to take a pre-emptive strike against Open Office. But who will use Office for Linux? The current Linux users defintely won't for several reasons: 1.) They hate Micrsoft 2.) They don't want to have to pay for anything, especially something that runs on Linux 3.) They don't want to introduce new vulnerabilities to their system 4.) They already have a solid alternative in Open Office
And, there honestly aren't enough general users using Linux yet, so Microsoft would be lucky to get even a small percentage of Linux users to use Office on Linux. I don't see a user base right now. If Linux were widely accepted (like Apple) on the desktop, then that's another story. But right now it isn't, and therefore there is no user base for this product.
GS: Speaking of dates, its three months to the day from now that you guys are going to launch. - translated to : you guys are so screwed, you're never going to get ps3 released!
KH: Correct. Yes. - translated to : shut up, so we screwed up a few times, leave me alone!
GS: How are things looking there? - translated to : so is there any chance Sony can still profit from ps3?
KH: Everything's pretty much on track. - translated to : if I owned Sony i'd just scrap the whole project right now and begin working on PS4.

CD Hook-on Files like these work well. I've seen them used, for example, and cd / video exchange stores, etc.
How is the UK doing for Open Source Adoption?
Shouldn't this read "How is the UK doing with Open Source Adoption?"
Or else, "What is the UK doing for Open Source Adoption?"
Why does everybody want to keep going to Mars? There are 7, no wait 6, other planets out there that we still need to visit?
Ok, there is too much reference here to the movie The Ring. See a movie, die in 7 days. Read spam, die in 7 days.
Ok, so what is just me, or do the first to links on the post point to the exact same spot?
Maybe they meant the Technical Documentation?

Hmmm, confirmed by an AC on /.
That's reliable.

As long as /. isn't filtered at my work place, I think I'll survive.

One more possibility
What if after all the hype, everybody was literally too scared to see it? Ahhhhh! Snakes on Planes!!!!
Microsoft's idea of testing patches
1.) Perform Windows update
2.) Wait for system to reboot
3.) If system turns back on successfully after reboot, release!
The incident may undo a great deal of the work that Microsoft has done to convince users to trust its software updates and install them by default.
Who's trust did they gain again? Which users? Certainly wasn't me!

The murders were captured on video and displayed worldwide using the Nurve system. These programmers are being beaten to death!
