It also won't happen because it's so easy for companies to argue that the information is voluntarily being shared with the company. And the thing is, the company is actually correct in observing this. As to what they may do with that information, well, it's moot as long as the government can demand it at any time.
Be that as it may, I think it's pretty important for the Quarter Horse people to be able to be sure they're getting what they really are when they acquire horses. I'd think registering the clones with a record of being a clone would be pretty important to them. They don't have to register them as if they were somehow not clones. In fact, I think it's perfectly reasonable to register but flag them as clones or descendants of clones.
Why are you assuming any given OS comes in only one size? Gentoo is a good example of the contrary. It comes in any size you want. I tend to think the mistake is more one of trying to make the OS fit the roles without any input from the user. There are a lot of assumptions made that really aren't necessary when that happens.
Apologies. That was a mistake, I must have initially intended to put nearly 1bn or something and gotten it crossed up in my head. thank you for pointing it out.
This isn't just restricted to the president's office nor to simply Obama. Sure, President Obama has been particularly vocal and open in his disregard for executing the laws of the land, but there are governors now and over history who have been guilty of this as well. The executive branch has one job in regards to that which has been signed into law (or veto-overridden into law). One. And that is to faithfully execute the law as it stands, not however they please.
The term "server" is essentially meaningless in this day and age as far as what a home user will generally have. These contracts basically rely on two things. First, that judges don't understand the technology. Generally, they'll be right. Second, that they can use the term "server" for whatever they please. Which is also correct at present, but only if they don't overplay their hand. Judges and lawyers may be largely ignorant when it comes to technical matters of computers and networking, but even they're not going to fall for it when an ISP wants to punish someone for running a progam that lets them remotely access their home desktop as a "server".
The problem is primarily in the assumption that any and all "servers" are business usage. Increasingly, personal "servers" of various kinds are finding their way into people's lives, whether it be their remote desktop access programs or the multitude of "peer"-style programs that use what amounts to a hybrid client/server at each end for synchronization or mutual transmission, such as Skype, Dropbox, btsync, and a plethora of others.
And that's not even addressing the idea of running SSH for personal remote access, or one's own noncommercial blog or a personal-use tinytiny-rss server for access from one's mobile phone or tablet.
It seems more beneficial to register them and mark them as cloned than to have them floating out there unregistered, where someone in a few generations might not be able to track down the cloned ancestor. Who knows, we could find out a few generations from now that there is some kind of problem (or even benefit) to the cloned stock.
A working and complete development toolset is something I've come to take for granted over the years as a Gentoo user. Every time I try to use something else, inevitably I run into something stupidly minor that ends up being a gigantic hassle due to lack of one. The fact that you can easily compile your programs against what you actually have instead of what some developer somewhere had makes things both smooth and surprisingly pain-free compared to the all-binary distros I've encountered.
While I'd tend to agree, and while it would be nice to have this patent expire before that time, I don't like the fact that it may deter people from trying.
Be that as it may, there are certain legal obligations placed upon companies as far as what information is and is not provided to investors. That's what this is about. The fact that the write-off was 900bn is actually more of a side-fact on this one.
I like the concept of approval voting for candidate elections (actually more for primaries than for elections themselves), but not for bills, propositions, or referendums on issues.
My present concern about approval voting is the older voters who are often politically married to a party. I feel like the younger generations would embrace either system, but older generations would fail to genuinely handle an approval ballot, particularly those predisposed to vote party-line, but that they won't pass up the chance to rank the candidate they hate the most at the bottom of a list of candidates.
It might be better to first let the public cut their teeth on approval voting in primaries, and IRV in actual elections. Get them used to the approval voting in primaries and I think you'll see a more honest reaction to the approval voting system than if you put it in the general election. Then maybe we could consider approval voting in general. It just only works when people are, as the article notes, casting their ballots honestly. I'd rather see 100 million ballots with at least half the candidates ranked than 50 million ballots of party-line voters who only approve one candidate out of stubborn habit, even when other candidates would have been worthy of their "approval".
Sure, if you treat the note-taking process as a "write it and never handle that data again" process. And as others have noted, thanks to modern pen technology, your statement isn't exactly accurate.
And it's not even incompatible with religious views, as they could be explained by people inclined to view it as such as being perhaps a final opportunity to transmit data back to the spirit realm. Of course, they wouldn't want to address the implications that would have on people whose heads/brains were destroyed in the process of ending the life...
Actually, I think the no-license-plate thing was a stroke of genius at this point. due to the license-plate-tracking databases now in effect, I'm anti-license plate.
Taking notes is very different from storing and archiving notes. I'm certainly an advocate of going back and typing them up, scanning or recreating (or even cut and pasting) any diagrams or graphics as needed. If nothing else, it's a good recap of what you learned and an opportunity to improve anything you had to cut short due to time constraints. But when it comes down to it, I haven't seen anything for in-class note-taking that beats manually writing it out on paper.

This is hardly news at Fort Meade. If we're hearing about it now, the NSA probably has had the same knowledge for years.

I'm definitely concerned about big data, but the big data that concerns me the most is in the hands of the NSA.

It's one of the reasons our healthcare costs are out of control in the first place.

Government plans tend to make me wonder if they ever just step back and listen to what they just said before they go and do it.
Yes. The problem is, when you make that call, you never know where it's going to be rerouted...
Sure, if you treat the note-taking process as a "write it and never handle that data again" process. And as others have noted, thanks to modern pen technology, your statement isn't exactly accurate.
If you replace "religious views" with "religious dogmas" we might actually be on the same page on this one.
Maybe the transmission failed because of it, and that's why the ghost is stuck?
And it's not even incompatible with religious views, as they could be explained by people inclined to view it as such as being perhaps a final opportunity to transmit data back to the spirit realm. Of course, they wouldn't want to address the implications that would have on people whose heads/brains were destroyed in the process of ending the life...

Amen and amen. Excessive note taking means, in my experience, missing half the class.
