Think about it - there are no "tell-all" book deals by jurors after a trial in Canada - and I believe it's better that way. We reached a decision. How or why we reached it is just between the 12 of us. We'll never talk about that part of it again, even amongst each other.
In many cases the jurors don't want to talk about it again especially for cases like murder for which you were on the jury. Murder is heinous enough to begin with but some people just have a great talent of making it more heinous with their implementation and normal people just don't understand how someone can treat their fellow man so badly. It's bad enough to see images during a trial but many jurors just want to forget what they saw. Talking about it after the fact just brings those memories back. This doesn't happen all the time of course but I'd imagine it happens a lot.
we shouldn't expect too many useful comments until someone can provide a translation. Can anyone tell me the point of submitting an article (or for that matter the submission being approved) if the article is not in English? At least we can play with the maps like the FP did.
I started using 10.5.x once I received my new Macbook back in October of last year I believe it was (maybe November, I forget now). The only issue I've had with it is the keyboard would intermittently stop working and that surfaced around the January time frame and I believe 10.5.3 or 10.5.4 fixed it. It would only stop working if I wasn't using it. It was a weird problem. Now I don't use any 3rd party apps on the Macbook besides TBird, Firefox and Yahoo Messenger but it's worked great for me so far. I don't know why people are bashing it so much.
I consider this a colostomy for the legal system (one less asshole).
I get your point however a colostomy isn't actually the removal of the anus. I can't find what that procedure is called but the colostomy just changes the location for the function of the anus. No removal actually occurs from what I can tell.
Tried any bootleg copies of Microsoft compatable software lately? In Linux, malware is the exception. In Windows, you better have your AV up to date as malware, trojans, and viruses is pretty much standard on the shady side of town.
Yes I have tried them. Although I don't disagree that some bootleg Windows software has malware embedded in it I will disagree with your implication that it is prevalent. I don't install everything under the sun but of the nice stuff I've downloaded and installed I've never run into something that also gave me a trojan or worm. I've seen stuff in newsgroups where someone replies to the thread stating the attachment had a trojan but I guess I got lucky that the stuff I pick doesn't have any malware. I don't run AV either. I'm probably playing Russian roulette but my point is that not every bootleg is intended to be a pathway for malware to get on your machine. Of the 10s of DVDs of software I have, none of the apps have malware embedded in them.
Those who go over will be charged $1 per gigabyte... [T]iers will range from $29.95 a month for... 768 kilobits per second and a 5-gigabyte monthly cap to $54.90 per month for... 15 megabits per second and a 40-gigabyte cap. Those prices cover the Internet portion of subscription bundles that include video or phone services. Both downloads and uploads will count toward the monthly cap."
I hope this fails in TX. I'm in WV and a current customer of TW. Their service is great. Their tech support is clueless but not from an intellgence standpoint but from not being informed from the powers that be. I can use nearly a gigabyte of transfer a day just by running eMule idle (idle meaning I have no downloads to my PC, only the lowest transfer possible for uploads). I don't want to have to pay out the wazoo for my service. The last 4 months I've had 135GB, 280GB, 148GB and 104GB transfers from February to May. I can download a gigabyte of data just downloading newsgroup headers from a 5 day period (since TW outsourced their news service 18 months ago which provides a 2-3 month retention). Will internal traffic count against this cap? Am I going to have to wait for the equivalent of T-Mobile's Mobile-to-Mobile crap so I can transfer stuff for "free" to another TW customer if internal traffic ends up counting against this? As someone else mentioned, I want all my ads filtered out to reduce my transfer. I bet they won't be providing that service.
15 Mbps transfer is great however assuming a constant rate (and my math is right) I can download 40GB in 6 hours. Obviously that would be rare unless I find a bunch of stuff on the newsgroups to download or want to watch a bunch of streaming video from somewhere. I'd like to know why they plan to raise the bandwidth but yet drastically drop the monthly transfer cap compared to what I list above (and I've never had any complaints from them). 40GB is just too low. With dial-up basically dead I think the 768kbps/5GB tier should be priced at $14.95, a 15Mbps/50GB tier priced at $29.95 and a 15Mbps/150GB tier priced at $59.95 with a per gigabyte charge of $0.25. $1 for a gigabyte is just racketeering. I'll be contacting my local office to let them know I'll have to switch to something else (only option would be Verizon DSL or satellite for my area though) if this goes nationwide.
Seen from the country I live in, all this is just unbelieveable. We have ADSL lines with speed up to 28Mb DL (remove ATM overhead) for prices starting at 18â per month.
No cap, no bullshit, nothing.
Usually for a higher price (starting at 29â), you get unlimited phone calls to many countries (japan, us, europe, etc...) and video over IP (TV, video on demand, other funky services)
All this without even talking about fiber which is being deployed, and cable.
Need a roommate? By the way, it would have been informative for you to have told us what country you are in since your currency characters didn't render right (at least in my Opera browser).
My time is worth far more than $8 an hour, so even if it only takes 1 hour to pirate a DVD, then it really is a huge waste.
Well, the only time I consider to be involved in pirating a movie is the time it takes me to scan the newsgroups (let's say 5-10 minutes, then the time to select the files to download (let's say 10 seconds), then the time it takes me to initiate the file extraction once downloaded (let's say 10 seconds), then the time it takes to open Nero and setup the burn process (let's say 1 minute). I don't include the time to download/extract/burn the files because I can do many other things during that time. So all in all I put in about 10 minutes on average which may be equal or less than the time for you to drive to your Hollywood Video/Blockbuster to buy a movie, not to mention the added cost of gasoline which in the past didn't matter but now it can. Now granted, I can only get a movie that has been posted somewhere unless I would make a request (which I don't) so there is that issue if you want to consider that one. I don't view it as an issue. If I don't find an interesting movie to download then oh well. I wasn't going to buy it anyway so I just don't watch it at all. I don't look for any particular movie. If I find one I like I'll download it.
I didn't buy an HD-DVD player. I will not be buying a Blu-Ray player. I will not be buying a this thing. Technology is moving way too fast for me to keep replacing my hardware. As soon as I commit to buying one of these things, a new technology will have emerged, making my spanking new purchase obsolete before the year is out. I am not a sucker.
What you have is only obsolete if you want to make it obsolete by always buying the next thing (which may or may not be the best). The same issue occurs with CPUs. You can't buy every single generation of CPU. I usually skip a generation because I don't need every generation nor do I want to spend the money. I don't consider the next generation to make my current generation obsolete unless I have a reason to need that next generation. This is the nature of technology. We are making leaps and bounds. As someone already asked, do you actually think the situation is going to get better? Taken as a whole, the last decade has seen so much innovation in varous fields of research and development compared to the last century that it is mind boggling. Innovation will only continue to speed up from here.
yeeeeeah or for free, you could just cap the bandwidth your client uses. I cap it at 25KBps up and 400 down out of my approximate 70 up and 850 down (Road Runner) and I play MMORPGs under those conditions just fine.
I hope you don't pay too much for that service. I have Road Runner too but I get 5Mbps down and I've been able to get up to 360kbps up. I don't know what the advertised upload bandwidth is off hand. I get that for $45/mo.
Seriously, every single employee @ Media Defender needs to be anally raped with razor wire.
Why not just cut their heads off and put the video of it on YouTube? Talk about the punishment not fitting the crime. Seriously, you need help. I suggest you schedule another appointment with your psychiatrist and let her know what she is doing is not working. You may even need to get a 2nd opinion.
My company in West Virginia says they can only say that yes/no the person was employed by us and if so they can give the dates but other than that I've been told they *can't* say anything else. I don't know if it is a state law thing or what. I haven't found anything in that regard so it might just be company policy.
Essentially, Apple does not see unsolicited downloads of hundreds or even thousands of executable files to users' desktops as being a security problem."
If I'm downloading stuff to my Desktop then there is no security problem. Now, uploads are a different matter. Is that what is supposed to be meant here? Me thinks "downloads" doesn't mean what they think it means.
that Google isn't being green enough? Think how much power they are pulling off the grid to run their thousands of servers especially when those servers are doing something useful. Not to mention the power required to cool these servers. I bet when they turn on new data centers the lights in the nearby cities lose a few lumens.
Your response is geared towards the Magic Quadrant reports Gartner creates which are semi-useful. For those who don't know, Magic Quadrant reports take a bunch of companies which make a certain product (e.g. groupware or call center software) and divide the companies into 4 main quadrants on a graph: leaders, challengers, visionaries, and niche players. This gives corporations who are trying to determine which company's product to purchase some insight as to which company's product to choose based on how the company fits into the industry it is in. Maybe the level of detail is satisfactory for a CIO but I think actual trade studies are more useful. Magic Quadrants can however provide input into which companies should have the privilege of making it to round 2: trade studies. Other reports are basically like what this article is about where they prophesize the future. I find it a waste of money for reports to be purchased from Gartner given the lack of depth vs their cost. If you can't tell, I don't like Gartner. For the record, Gartner does have some reports which are free. They are usually geared toward just explaining a particular technology. The same info can really be gleaned from anywhere on the Internet which is why those types of reports are free.
Most of the rest were so obvious that it really wasn't worth mentioning, an up to speed person would have known that. Wireless will be big in the future (published 2005ish)? No way!
The best part is that the Gartner reports I've seen ususally cost about $400 and probably average 8-10 pages. Not worth it in my opinion but then again for corporations who believe Gartner reports are prophecy I guesz $400 for a multi-billion dollar company isn't a big deal.
Since they invented the difference between first and second degree murder. Intent matters.
IANAL but I think intent is associated with all degress of murder, just not with manslaughter. However one of the differences beteween first and second degree murder is whether there is any malice involved.
Let's see... they tied their fortunes to a pretty unpopular company, AT&T, in exchange for kickbacks and didn't even try to get Verizon, the largest mobile phone service, to sell a version of their phone.
What do you mean they didn't even try Verizon, the largest mobile phone service? Based on this week-old article from MSNBC regarding a class action lawsuit involving cancellation fees, Verizon is number 2. Later in the article it is mentioned AT&T has 70 million subscribers while Verizon has 66 million. Granted, AT&T only wins by 4 million but it wins nonetheless.
Ever play Megatouch?
They're in all the bars. Small one piece computers loaded with games, no keyboards. Older ones have CRTs, newer ones have flat screens. A very few have joysticks, most don't. The only input devices are a coin slot,a dollar bill slot, and a touch screen.
Sounds like a stripper I know. Of course, the high-end strippers can swipe credit cards too.
That's a nice map as far as the colors are concerned but it would be nice if some context was given to it such as labels on some of the more popular nodes and leafs.

Although irritatingly I can't find any reference to the intended meaning of this song, and now I can't remember why I think it's about Tony Blair.
I'm no expert on English government but maybe my highlights connect the dots? And no, I'm not being sarcastic.
