" I wonder how much a system would cost that could switch my light from green to red if it detected a vehicle approaching from a red-lit direction at dangerous speeds. Can you think of an other alternative uses for these cameras?"
Hey, I will go for that and just keep my pedal to the metal...unless you do the same and then we are in deep too doo.
He didn't say he'd switch the other persons light to green. All 4 directions would show red.
IANAL but I read this law blog
Short version: plaintiff has to prove (preponderance of the evidence) that she made a statement of fact (not opinion or hyperbole) that is demonstrably false.
And Perez has the burden of proof. So far I'm not on her side.
No, she doesn't. The person bringing the suit (the construction company) has to prove that what she said is false. You know, the whole innocent until proven guilty thing?
So no, you're talking out your rear end. How about some authoritative information?
rjejr is correct. You can go into your Wii Settings and turn off the background data options--you know, the one that updates your weather and news and all that while your Wii is in standby mode. If you don't use your Wii for weather/news, you can save yourself some electricity/money by disabling the standby mode.
So did they host mainly pirated movies etc or did it not?
Who cares? The only thing that matters is how to protect the internet from those who interfere. It far to easy to knock people offline, and that's what needs to be stopped.
I agree. Spammers and bot-herders should be free to host their command-and-control centers without the inconvenience of setting up redundant infrastructure.
"Replacing "amazon.com" with "http://amazon" is a net increase in number of characters"
You need more than that - "amazon" is a (TL) domain, not a host. You'd need something like "http://www.amazon". Just entering "http://amazon" is likely to resolve to the user's local domain, e.g. "amazon.example.com".
And, to make matters worse, if I have a host called www.amazon.domain.local on my domain, the request will still be routed to that local host!
There are very good reasons to keep fewer top domains.
It's not "towed" the line. It's not a rope. The phrase is "toed" the line, as in, someone drew a line in the sand and you are sticking your toe across the line, challenging them.
Having sued or having been sued doesn't preclude you from jury duty at all.
Now, having sued or been sued by someone who is materially connected to the case at hand should preclude you from serving on that particular jury. Huge difference.
And how are Seagate and Samsung/Apple connected? Did you read Seagate and think it said Samsung?
Generators for data-centers usually run on propane. It's not going to do the locals much good. They likely still have natural gas service without interruption, but their furnaces wont run without electricity. They too could have purchased propane or natural gas generators for their homes for just a couple of hundred dollars. But they didn't.
Gasoline powered generators for emergencies are about the stupidest thing you can buy. It's expensive and runs out REALLY fast when there's any sort or service interruption.
Not sure about "usually", but my companies' data centers runs on diesel. The Wikipedia article on data centers mentions diesel, not propane.
"So eight hours in, we already had fuel trucks running. And every 24 hours, we had fuel, even though we didn’t need to."
I'm sure the people in shelters and waiting in line for 6 hours to fill their own generators so they can keep their family warm at night are happy for you.
It is not the responsibility of CoreSite to provide fuel for everyone in New York City. Billie Haggard did his job well, and he deserves kudos for that.
Perhaps those people should have heeded the mandatory evacuation warnings and moved further away from the coast--100 miles inland would have made a world of difference to them, come Monday morning. Your house being without power doesn't matter if you're two hours away from it. There's no good reason for putting your children at risk by staying put when a hurricane is coming at you, and you had several days warning.
I skimmed through the whole paper, and didn't see one overview diagram to show the shape of this thing's orbit. Haven't really gotten a grip even on how 4 stars orbit around each other - is it two binary systems circling a common centre? Then where do you put a planet in... orbiting in a wide circle around the outside of the stars, figure-8ing between two pairs of stars, some elaborate knot weaving in and out around all 4?
If anyone has a better handle on this than I do, a clear description would serve just as well as a diagram.
RTFS:
That binary is itself orbited by another binary pair much farther out.
Granted, it doesn't talk about the planet. But my guess is that the planet is orbiting the central pair, like the outer pair.
As to the topic at hand, I find it interesting that the question isn't "Should google be targeting non-subscriber email ads", but whether or not they should be looking at ANY email content.
At what point does it become ok for any personal email regardless of 'sender' to be used for targeted ads based on content?
They explicitly say in their terms of service, since day 1, that they will serve ads based on your emails. If you don't like this, then you shouldn't have signed up for a gmail account.
I'm not sure I get the joke here. The job of the deceased was "foreign service information management officer." I'm trying to imagine how somebody in that position could not work with intelligence services?
Perhaps he was the Exchange/Sharepoint/SAN administrator? "Foreign service" is pretty much any State Department employee stationed overseas. "Information Management Officer" sounds like he could be anything from the IT Admin to the filing clerk (if they still have paper files, that is).
Everyone in the first world ALREADY has access to all the education they want, free. They're called libraries.
Everyone in the first world--maybe. I suspect there are plenty of people in Idaho or Alaska who do not have a library within 20 minutes of their home or workplace.
And that is completely ignore the second and third world. What about them?
Is composed of the bodies of energy ministers and power-generating companies.
As opposed to slashdot users who are all high and mighty, posting on their energy-using computer that was produced in a factory that is probably not powered by a water wheel, all the while sitting in the basement of their mom's energy-cooled house?
A believe he's referring to Article 1, Section 10:
"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
You bolded the wrong section. It should looks like this:
"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal;coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
The says that they can purchase "up to" 450 million rounds over 5 years. They could also purchase 500 rounds under that contract. The ammo manufacturer wanted a CYA limitation on the number of rounds they could be asked to provide, so that the government couldn't sue them for breach of contract if the government asked them to provide a billion rounds and the manufacturer was unable to fulfill the order.
Occam's razor. Sometime's a contract is just a contract.

It has been released in most of Europe, and from what I hear, it sucks big time.

No, that's on Fox.
Interesting, and thanks for pointing that out. I wonder if it's possible to find out what was actually purchased?
You would have to make a FOIA request to DHS, i think.
The only thing it "deters" is the release of needed, timely patches.
You mean like his first patch, the one causing saved game files to appear corrupted?
