Between a single pesky non representing entity, and a bunch of non representing one, I choose the bunch, because AT the very LEAST, they could go into lock down because they can't agree on everything or anything. Whereas there is no need of disagreement with the US, it can simply do whatever it pelases. So yeah , the UN looks like the LEAST of the evil right now, among a bunch of people which do not represent me.
an UN based domain name would not bow to every petty dictator, but rather it would be stuck into making no decision whatsoever, because every petty dictator would not agree together on what the decision should be. Much much better to have a GROUP of petty dictator bicker on the TLD (UN) rather than one single petty dictator (US) which do not need to argue about anything, jsut grab.
Outsource the captacha. Link it to some porn , ask the user to fill the captcha in, and boum, captcha bypassed. no need to do expansive trick program analyze, just use cross site linking. At least those captcha have the merit to be readable by a human, unlike some captcha in cursive-overlapping-slanted letters where if you can answer them , you are prolly not human.
When I buy something with a large megacorp, I pu the info necessary for the billing. The rest is fake. So for one corp i am female, 71, german, for another I might be male , 23, french, and for another I might be female, italian, and 51. None of them NEED to know which gender am I, my age, or my nationality to sell me stuff. Furthermore I am very well aware of my right of information and rectification, even deletion of info I consider private. That is also why I never buy from american company because I know they are not bound by our local privacy law.
Furthermore I have *one* account for subscription based payment, *one* account for billing based payment. You can spam both away, I whitelist simply the email addy I need (automated move onto a folder) the rest is CRTL-A + DEL. Facebook ? Myspace ? pffft. I am physically in contact with my friend , using voice, SMS, phone, or my normal email addy. I do not need an offline pinwand. And if I did, I would provide it on our own web site , not a third party which would sell my info to anybody and their grandma.
Privacy is something you earn, by not opening yourself to the big world and corporation. If you do open yourself , transparent man/woman-like , then don't cry afterward.
pedophile will target predominately work where they have contact with children. It isn't new. But the government is TRYING at least to put obstacle and certainly DO NOT shuffle pedophile professor or teacher in anotehr district.
Furthermore I would argue it is much more important to compare the number of pedophile in church not agaisnt somewhere where you would expect pedophile to sneak in, but agaisnt the average pedophile rate. And yes pedo rate are higher in church. School are not pretending to be moral bastion. Church are pretending to be moral bastion and example. This is where the fucking significant difference is.
See the problem is that more or less our energy consumption over the world has steadily raised. To the point that anybody using that sentence I quoted above looks *silly*. I am sorry but that is so : If you take into account the real energy usage trend there is no plateau of energy consumption, beside economic crisis. That is why when you see somebody predicting the amount of reserve of something in years we have left and saying in the same paragraph "at the actual level of consumption" you can call bullshit. Both info should be given : at current level, and also if the consumption continue to rise as it has in the past decades. That paint a much bleaker picture, true, but a more real one.
I am guessing MS only ask for 2 cent, because out of those 2000+ patents most are trivial. Now the question is are those 50 patent on motorola mobility trivial ?
You offer no fact, no data point on which we could comment. thin sheet of metal ? much more deformable, means energy in accident is going into deformable aprt and not you. Plastic ? some plastic cost a lot and have very specialized usage for which metal or wood are worst off. Now if you offered a plastic SPECIFICATION and told us, this is what they put in manifold but as you look in this specification #XYZ , it is much worst off than #ABC but they spare 1$ per plastic manifold,I would udnerstand that. and could argue with that. but you offer NOTHING to be refuted. In other word your post was neigh useless.
The time spent on legislating, the time spent on making it official, the time *some* people might have spent actually enforcing that law, all that adds up to more than 2 million $, probably by an order of magnitude at least. They are only counting the fee the state has to pay.
At least first stage atom bomb are easy. The secret is not in those, hirshima-clunky type of bomb (the canon type one, and the sphere type one), but in efficient usage of combustible and neutron reflector, to produce a second and even third stage, getting order of magnitude better nuclear bomb than hiroshima, in a smaller space and weight, making it deliverable in ICBM/missile/"suitcase". That involve a lot more engineering, neutron reflector and a choice of various materials. Now if you want only 10 kt, have a lot of uranium to spend, and a big ass truck to move it, well then anybody and their grandma can do one.
Because those of faith use the same sentence as you "my faith teach me to do good things" and they hide behind it (without showing that they indeed learned gfrom those teaching) and then spout some bigoted non sense. How often those good people suddenly are adamant that a mariage is between a man and a woman (hint : it was not that way in the past, not even in christian community, and at a time it was more akin using the kids to merge property, and long time ago it was frgging SECULAR before the priest coopted it). And then they will say their bible somehow with a lotn of contorsion gay are bad people (nevermind that they eat shellfish), that the message is good (nevermind Jesus being agaisnt slavery, or even him cursing a figue tree, yeah yeah I know it can be itnerpreted figuratively, but hey, anything c an be itnerpreted figuratively then, you know that gay condemnation ? it was god figuratively pointing the finger at priest diddling children in the choir). And then the ever attempt of reversing secular decision because they don#t like it, the ever whining of "we are persecuted because of our religion" but so soon a kid make a prayer be removed from a secular building, the outpouring of hate starts.
So yeah. Not all christian are like that, but enough are like that , that every single of us know a few of such example personally. And since msot geek are educated people, and educated people are least religious, you can see why slashdot as a whole is warry of the god bunch.
Now if only they were prqactising the religion the christ preached, instead of being the "church of paulinism"....
If you limit speed you will limit the plan. If you limit the speed to 10 Kb.s-1 , then it comes down to a maximum of 843 Mb a day or about 24 Gb a month (assuming a 24/7 download rate of 10kb.s-1).m
If you limit the speed you are essentially limiting the data plan. You cannot have an "unlimited quantity to use" if you throttle intentionally the speed of consumption , this means throttling the data quantity. Now if speed was limited by hardware , or by network congestion that would be something else. But it is misleading to say that limiting speed still leave the plan "unlimited".
non revocable could certainly be unconscionable under EU law, thus making FB/Google EULA or whatever is the agreement, NIL. And i betcha later in the agreement it says something alike "some clause might not apply depending on your juridiction blahblahlbah".
On most web site including some email account i use as a throw away, my password is something like julie. very weak, because I don't care. But on some stuff like online banking my password is more like Sushi-tAbLe#722915;DeadPan (not the real password, but same similar structure). I have to wonder from those study you are speaking of, if they took into account how much importance the user gave to the service/data protected behind the password.
They are called denier because 1) they are not climate scientist but still pretend to bring up OFT debunked theory to explain away their "skepticism" (solar activity anyone?) and 2) when pointed out that it has been debunked and linked to real climate or whatever they immediately distrust that source of info whereas 3) at the same time they link or accept much more dodgy source of info 4) total ignorance of the real research and refusal to actually publish a falsification of climate change, at which point they will usually whine about a conspiracy to NOT publish anti-climate change papers. There is a huge gap with skepticism.
This is the typical non-skeptic attitude, which you find nearly 1 to 1 in holocaust denial (not historian , did not study or do not accept actual evidence of holocaust, point at alternative explanation which make no sense and have been oft debunked, whine that there is a conspiracy to not publish their theory that holocaust did not happen. Remind you of some attitude ?). This is why they are called climate change denier : not because they are skeptic or whatnot , but much more because they use the same (wrong) process that holocaust denier use. Sure they dislike the word, but frankly, it is earned.
Skepticism as a process is totaly different, and a skeptic for example would keep a mind open for a possible falsification and error on previous data, but would not deny the mound of data we have by now.
So, yeah, climate change denier is spot on those people are not at all "skeptic" and don't apply skepticism as a process.
German don't make a strong difference between present and future ? What did that guy smoke. There is as much difference as in english language. Ich werde morgen essen, und ich esse jetzt have quite a marked difference, about as much as I will eat tomorrow, and I am eating now. Or for the example he cited , Ich werde zu eine Seminar gehen. Heck his first sentence in the paper is wrong. You can both say Morgen regnet es , und es wird morgen regnen. This guy is compeltely off base. This is utter nonsense.

freely translated : parody takes the same element but in another context for comic and humoristic effect or satyr. Parody is protected in germany too. But this is definitively not a pradody under german law. And thus must require/acquire licence to be shown/bow to the GEMA. Sad but it is the way it works in germany.
It is not available in all country due to copyright:
Dieses Video ist in Deutschland leider nicht verfügbar, da es mÃglicherweise Musik enthÃlt, für die die erforderlichen Musikrechte von der GEMA nicht eingerÃumt wurden.
More or less read that as "music right from the german RIAA" stop that being shown in germany.
I have been flamed down as newbie on Linux forum and I am male. "read the man page". Great. Except the man page is unclear on what exactly I need to do, or my Wifi card is not properly functioning or my TV card not etc... The community is *extremely* hostile to newbie in general, I don#t think it is only to female.
Furthermore , I work in a software development firm and there is in my department 2 male programmer (some guy and me) and 5 female. Fortran (main frame)+java programming. None of them is interested into programming as a hobby or for open source. They come in, they do their job they go out, it is over. And I know other female programmer from other department and male programmer. NONE, absolutely NONE of the female are interested into programming itself outside of the job. When I described them open source and community they just shrugged and told me they prefer to do other activity after work.
I have the sneaky feeling that indeed , there is less female, not because the community is hostile, but because they simply aren't interrested. That is not to say that the community is not sexist. it probably is, most male are sexist in nature, or rather see sex in everything, thinking of sex every 2 minutes. There is probably some female turned off by the community. But I think the MAIN reason female don't participate is that simply they are NOT interested.
In many country with customer protectuion it would be neigh impossible to uphold an EULA, and have the following 3 things happens in store :
1) not being able to get a refund for box opened game
2) not being able to use the same game due to refusing EULA
3) not being able to see the agreement you sign to before purchase
All 3 together are fully unsustainable with customer protection. Either you can get refund, OR you can still use the game because the EULA is NIL, OR the publisher must make the EULA available to read before the purchase , on the box, in a readable form. Since in practice 3) and 1) are not available, all customer protection law in my country automatically make EULA invalid.
Big Fucking Deal. Here around due to the granitic rock and radon , we are getting in average a bit less than 5 mSv per year. For Japan it is about 1mSv. Assuming that radiation dose per 3 month is in addition to the normal natural dose, they are geeting per year about the same as we got in our house : around 5 mSv per year. And the world average is around 2.5http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_radiation. Anything under 10 mSv per year I would not even bat an eye.
Most persons taking a job without a passion will do uninspiring product and will be a chore to work with. No scratch that, it will be a job to work with them. You are not a special snowflake as programmer. It is just that we had the luck of having a lot of pationate people, much more than other profession IMHO, and we were spoiled by it.
