Indeed, the professors work for the students, not vice versa. It always perplexed me why some college profs took attendance. They are there to teach not to babysit. If some schmo wants to blow his 30 grand a year tuition playing bejeweled, what does the professor care? I mean does the professor have some high score and he's hoping to eliminate the competition for the next international bejeweled tournament? Well actually, if that's the case, I guess it's ok.
Because in many cases, the schmo is getting 50-80% of the cost of their schooling paid for by the taxpayers. Plus those that play games, use Facebook, etc. are the first to complain when they don't get the grade they feel "entitled" to..
But if Toyota doesn't specify which wallpapers are allegedly in violation, can't Harry just ignore the takedown request, since the request doesn't comply with the DMCA?
It's actually pretty standard terminology. Or at least was, back when design involved actual individual discrete components. There are even different schematic symbols for earth ground and chassis ground.
Yeah.... Poetic justice would be if the contractor who did such a poor job found his own personal details posted all over the 'net, because of holes in his own system.
Last I heard of Heath(kit), they'd been purchased by Zenith. I think the name is still used on motion-sensor fixtures, sold as "Heath-Zenith", in places like Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.
I suspect the only connection to the Heathkit we love is the name... somebody probably bought the rights to use the name.
Now, if the instructions (yellow cover mandatory) include a 200-step procedure for aligning the RF and IF stages, using the S-meter as a VTVM and the BFO as a signal source, then we know we're getting somewhere.
Provided, of course, that the robot only comes in a two-tone green color scheme.
Why do people insist on capitalizing "ham", as if it were an acronym? It's just a nickname, if you will, for amateur radio operator. You don't see GEEK, or NERD, or QUILTER.
He wasn't charged again... the prosecutors appealed the ruling of the trial court that threw out the evidence on the hard drive. So the case gets remanded back to the trial court, to continue the case.
The Novell deal was with Santa Cruz (aka oldSCO). But Santa Cruz didn't have enough money to buy the entire Unix business, so the copyrights were excluded in order to lower the purchase price. It wasn't accidental or an oversight that the copyrights were excluded; Santa Cruz couldn't afford them.
Caldera later bought the Unix business line (still sans copyrights) from Santa Cruz, and renamed itself SCO.
I believe that stands for "Post and Telegraph". In many countries, the mail, telegraph, and telephone systems are all part of the same government agency.
It's not the arithmetic that I disagree with, it's the assumptions of population and income distributions.
... but the real world will have people making A LOT more that 500k, and A LOT more people at the lower two income brackets.
In the United States, at least, the income distribution is roughly normal, with admittedly a long (but very low probability) tail in the higher incomes. The blog's example has 150 people making $30K or less, and 11 making $30,001 or more.
I was illustrating the "simplest" (and I think, typical eBay) purchase-resale case. I think the required holding period is six months to be treated as a capital gain, but I could be wrong. I'm not sure if this applies to "anything" (knick-knacks, etc.) or just to items worth more than a minimum amount (cars, paintings, buildings, etc.).
If you buy an item, and then resell it at a higher price, you are no different than the shop around the corner (or WalMart)... the difference between your selling price and your purchase price, less expenses, is income, and subject to income tax. If you're selling used household items (that baby carriage that's been collecting dust for years in the basement), and you sell it for less than you paid for it, there is no income tax (in fact, you *might* be able to deduct the loss, if you have other gains to offset it). Of course, the IRS wants proof that you sold it at a loss.
The fact that you paid income tax already on your wages from your regular job is irrelevant.

That's right - "gay" has been used for "lame" for decades now. The problem is that it is *also* used to indicate homosexuality.
And even before it meant "lame", gay meant happy or enjoyable.

Just make the punishment for cheating sufficiently harsh.
My college allows a range of punishments, any of which can be applied to the first offense:
Repeated offenses result in expulsion.
But if Toyota doesn't specify which wallpapers are allegedly in violation, can't Harry just ignore the takedown request, since the request doesn't comply with the DMCA?
Gelatin chicks? Chocolate bunnies? Don't kids get real chicks (dyed yellow, purple, etc.) and bunnies at Easter any more?
I wonder if Joe took it with him when he retired?
Not to mention dangerous to one's health.

Will time run out before then?

Are you sure that, per kWH, a modern IC automotive engine is cleaner than a modern coal-fired plant?
Awww, and 1970 seems like only yesterday... s/1970/2000 s/1971/2001
If memory serves, it wasn't all that long ago (1970? 1971?) that 1.5GHz, 512MB, 80GB would have been the specs on a pretty high-end machine.
And, might I say, climbing.
