I did. and it sounds like there is a very strong legal case. The laws governing the conduct of prostitution are different from those governing copywrite, so what craigslist is doing really is illegal. It is illegal to "facilitate" the commitment of illegal prostitution activities, and craigslist knows that this particular section of the website is unsed widely for just this purpose. After being presented with vast amounts of evidence of this illegal activity, they have made no effors to try to weed out the illegal activity, so the Sherrif's last resort is to sue for injunctive releif. The internet is a great tool, but that doesn't mean that it is perfect or can't be used for illegal activity.
Big drawback is ease of use... The interface was designed by the engineers and really sucks, but it can do a lot and comes in a redundant pair config, so you always have a standby unit to take ofver if the first one dies.
Many readers may already know this, but Atlantis has most likely already been found, as near as we humans will probably ever be able to tell anyway.
If there was an actual place and society that inspired the fictional tale of morals and corruption spun by Plato, it was most likely the Minoan civlization on Santorini and Crete from around 1600 BC. It was an advanced (for the time) civilization wiped out (or at least dispersed forever) by the cataclismic eruption of the caldera that formed the ring structured island. This link has oner of the better discussions of the issue without all the hyperbol and passion that many 'seekers' often display.
Yes, this bozo is a huge dumb-ass, and so are the editors for approving this story!
I'm 99% sure that if he had tried to run it, it would have siad "This program is intended for a different version of Windows...yada yada yada" and closed.
Sorry, I should have said a "dangerous" black hole can't be created by us. If you check out other posts you will see that a tiny compressed stable mass would most likely act like a nutrino and only absorb particles that actually touched the event horizon, which would be very very rare. So, most people don't believe that a stable concentrated mass can occur from the LHC, but if it did, it would take biollions of years to do any real damage.
So again, why do people continue to act like this is news someone should care about?
A black hole CAN NOT BE CREATED By US!!! Even if several thousand atome worth of matter were smashed together into an area one millionth of an atomic nucleus, one thousand atoms worth of gravity doesn't amount to anything in the scale of the real world. even if these atoms stayed in that configuration for many seconds or minutes, they still don't have enough mass to create gravity that could start pulling in other matter, especially since the collisions are set-up in a very high vacume and all the surrounding matter (sensors etc.) are bolted very tightly to a very sturdy base. The fact that people continue to debate this issue just astounds me. A tiny bit of concentrated matter is still only a tiny bit of matter, no matter how much you consentrate it! Remember, a true black hole has the mass of a star in an area the size of a single atomic nucleus, so that's some pretty consentrated mass. You can hang a lead ball on a 2000 foot string next to a granite mountain face and only barely detect the deflection of the ball on the string. Gravity is a very weak force people.
I'm thinking that there is still plenty of evidence of the 8 year administration of GWB without the tightly controlled version provided by the offical whitehouse site. PLus, doesn't Google cache everything forever?
This is what's wrong with our country. The only thing that matters to anyone is stock price, so now the SEC needs to investigate the timing and details of a CEO health announcement??? How does that have anything to do with the long term outlook of the company. This is the most assinine thing I have ever heard.
These studies do not say that the violence does not effect a player's aggression level. They had a completely different focus!
The results show that the enjoyment of the players was not impacted by the violence level in the game!!! So, a good game is enjoyable no matter how much violence it contains. Why, then, do certain game publishers keep pushing the limits of violent content?
Yes, these are certainly morons and are they really serious? Do they think that these are the first radio waves they have been exposed to? They never complained while thier bodies were constantly bombarded with tv/radio/cellphone/cordless phone/military radar/space background radiation etc. ( not to mention all the pot & shrooms) but as soon as a wireless network fires up they all become walking antennae?
I know it's not health care related, but this excellent article provides a great independant analysis of the ramifications of both candidate's tax plans for different income groups. A summary would include:
"for married couples with incomes of $50,000, two children and both parents working, income taxes would be cut by $284 more under Mr. Obama's plan -- by $1,005, compared with $721 under Mr. McCain's plan"
"From $100,000 to $250,000, they'd be fairly even under Obama and McCain."
"For married couples with incomes of $500,000 with two children and both parents working, the Tax Policy Center found that Mr. Obama would raise income taxes by $3,363, from $110,955 now, while Mr. McCain's plans would leave taxes unchanged."
Please note that the tax INCREASE for those making $500,000.00 per year is less than 3%, or only 0.6% of their total income, hardly an incomprehensible burdon!
So, McCain and the Republican machine continue to use scare tactice to convince the middle class that democrats will raise their taxes to provide welfare for the poor, but these numbers show that is patently false (surprise!). The middle class bears NO weight of the tax cuts. The only people impactd are the really rich people who control the Republican party and want the middle class to vote for their interestes instead of their own.
It boggles my mind how many in the middle class believe them every four years!
How about this analogy to up-end thier logic. Anyon can sit in a park with binoculars and look around at all the interesting stuff that people are doing. If, however, you get paid by someone to do that with the intent of finding out who keeps letting their dog take a dump without cleaning it up, (or any other affront you can think of) then you need a PI license. Looking at files available on the internet isn't the problem, it's getting paid to do it on behalf of someone else in an investigatory manner (is that even a word?)
Ah, but here's wher you miss the point. Most Democrats don't object to your moral principals. They object to your efforts to institutionalize your moral principals. Based on your comment, I am assuming that you are a social conservative and for example are opposed to gay marraige? To simplify the issue, Democrats believe that individuals should be able to make their own choice about who to marry, while (i assume) you feel that you should be able to decide (or a law should be in place that stipulates) who can or can't get married. So, in this example, Democrats don't object to your moral principals, they object to your attempts to force your moral principals on others. In the Democrats world, you can marry whoever you want, so why is this a problem for you (theoretically speaking)?
If your are a really big company, I imagine that you could and should have one of the archiving solutions that makes a searchable archive of your existing data (as much as YOU choose to keep around according to your policy)to make retrieval a quick process.
If, however, you are a small public company or public agency (like the school district I work for) who rarely runs into litigation problems, you don't need to buy into the inaccurate hype that says you need to save everything because the law says you have to! That is just completely inaccurate but not enough people armed with the facts are countering the corporate PR machine.
Even in your example, there are provisions that cover unreasoable data requests. I didn't verify this while posting, but my recollection is that the judge has full power to excuse the requirement to produce specific content if the 'costs' to produce it are unreasonable as compared to the scope of the issue at hand. Costs can mean anything.
Despite what the vendors who produce e-mail archiving software may say, there is NO requirement that ANYONE archive all their e-mail/chat/word docs. etc. for potential litigation!!!
The rules say that, once you know that there is a legal case (or can reasonably expect that an issue may lead to legal action) you can't destroy evidence that could be used in the case. The federal rules actually spend more time outlining all the valid reasons you may have for destroying/deleting old e-mails or other correspondence.
There are a lot of vendors generating a lot of FUD about this issue, and even more clueless tech writers and glorified corporate publicity rags like eSchool news to perpetuate it. Don't be sucked in!
Yes, your company/agency should have a retentions policy, but that doesn't mean to retain everything! It should spell out how often you delete materials that are no longer deemed necessary. As long as you follow that policy, you are covered if you delete something that comes up later in an un-anticipated legal action! Once you are aware of a legal action, it is your responsibility to identify and secure any documentation in any form that can have bearing on the case.
You are reading way too much into this!. The school probably has a standard for browser software. The teacher expects to see that application as they wander the room to see if their students are on task. The teacher saw the student using a different application and asked them to get back to their assignment (it's not the teachers job to be hip to all the alternative browsers no matter how much of a dolt you may think he/she is!). The kid argued about it instead of just switching to (I assume) IE, and got a detention for it.
There is no great conspiracy here... move along... get a life...
As others have stated, the detention was probably for not listening/being disrespectful as opposed to the specific browser choice. Most Schools have standards of what browsers they support, so if the school has standardized on IE, and that is what the teacher was familiar with, he/she had every right to ask the student to use the supported platform. It's not the teachers job to be hip to all the alternative browsers. He/She just saw the studnet using an unsupported application and asked them to stop. The student argued about it and got a detention.
I hate Microsoft, but it's not all a huge conspiracy every time people!
I fail to see where this could be news to anyone who works with data centers. If you want your datacenter to operate during a power outage, you need a Generator with enough capacity for your servers/network and your cooling. If a fancy hosting site with SLA's making up-time guarantees doesn't understand this, I think thier customers should start looking elsewhere.
"But in a good way"!!!, "Just a Prank"!!! Have you the slightest clue what is going through the minds of armed officers entering an unknown residence at 2:00 AM. Anything can happen, and to just randomly select an address and send the cops there full force is about as irresponsible and criminal as I can think of. If you are really worried about fixing the system, why not suggest that they just point out the flaw and the underground community trying to exploit it! You really need to get your head out of your ass before you post someting that demonstrates such a total lack of thought or contact with the real world.
This "Pre-Disposed" arguement doesn't make sense. What if it just means you haven't had enough repetitive motion at an arm geometry that would initiate a problem yet?
I personally got CTS after moving to a new office and seeting up my desk in a manner that I thought would be more comfortable. My thumb & index finger got numb. Since I re-optimized my chair/keyboard angle I dodn't need a fancy ergonomic anything.
So... Computer use doesn't cause the problem... Bad arm/body geometry combined with repetetive motion will cause the problem no matter what the task, and I would bet it will cause it for anyone. It may take a higher rate of repetitive motion for some people depending on their muscle/tendon geometry, but it will eventually bother anyone subject to enough motion.
I know it's not totally relevant, but I just wanted to vent. Their website is ALWAYS horribly slow compared to all the others I frequent no matter the state of the pipe on my end. It amazes me that a company that big hasn't figured out where the bottlenecks are in their architacture and fixed them, unless their basic architecture is the problem.
Anyway, I feel marginally better.
I think that 5 years is an adequate time period to require a re-enrollment! Phone numbers Do change sometimes, and they could never support a system that automatically takes a number off the rolls if you cancel your phone service.
If people keep making mountains out of mole hills it just continues to divert attention from more important issues like , oh, the subversion of our democracy, net neutrality, patenet reform, health care...
Boy did you miss the point... Are you a parent? The original poster did an excellent job differentiating between sheltering and protecting. If he sees healthy curiosity in his monitorng activities, it looks like he plans to ignore it, but file that knowledge away and keep an eye out for additional actions that might stray further. This is about the best tack you can take.
When I was a teen, you would be happy if you found a playboy or more graphic mag in the woods by where the older kids drank, but it didn't have pop-ups leading to ever more graphic and just plain disturbing stuff. A kid could get from googling for Vanessa Hudgens tits to some hardcore beastiality in about 3 clicks on today's Internet. Kids have to grow up too fast Today anyway... Why speed it up by ignoring the possiblity of filtering some stuff out based on your own tolerances.

This poster is absolutely correct. there is no requirement to retain all your electronic records. See my post "PLEASE help stop the FUD" below.
