If your company is represented by an attorney, can they forbid you from informing the attorney about receiving a secret warrent or consulting with said attorney about said warrant?
What if the no warrant line only continues to appear on the website if it is made available by a third party contractually obligated to provide it each day only if assured of its veracity by said attorney?
Can they force the attorney to lie to a third party?
Why not just spend the money breaking windows? Think of all the people who would be employed fixing them!
Because then the original investment in the windows is lost, and the money spent on the replacement is unavailable to be spent in other ways. Paying twice for what amounts to one window has a much less positive effect than paying once for one window and spending the cost of replacing it on another window destined for a different place in that or some other wall where there is a framed opening but no window, or spending it on something entirely else.
There is a reason why what you bring up is usually referred to as the broken window fallacy.
Yeah, it's not like there'd be any kind of multiplier effect from all of those construction jobs, or the high salary people they'd have to bring in to run the thing.
Are the opinions of France relevant at this point?
If they relinquished their rights to Spain in 1766, then what can they say about it now? That they actually had no rights back then and therefore defrauded Spain? Hardly a testament to their credibility.
Argentina believes that the French claim which was passed on to Spain was passed, in turn, to them as part of their becoming independent from Spain in 1816.
And it appears that the French claim may have pre-dated the English one by a couple of years if you're going by establishment of settlements instead of "was sailing along one day and found these islands which no one rushed to occupy".
It didn't autoupdate (I try to avoid letting others change my computer behind my back while I'm not looking), they just kept nagging me to update and I was stupid enough to allow it.
Then when it started crashing on a regular basis, I allowed the next update hoping they'd fixed the problem. No such luck.
If they can update without having to do a full install from scratch, why can't there be a "rollback" button?
Why can't it remember for me which version I was running the last time it worked?
about:crashes doesn't provide anything I can decipher about why the crashes happened, but at least I can find out which version I was runnng when.
Yeah, but popcorn goes with the whole "distract them with television" thing better than plain old corn.
Although converting circuses (entertainment and diversion) to television seems straightforward, converting bread (food) to ?(food) doesn't seem to have as straightforward a "here's the modern equivalent", because food is still pretty much food.
Maybe the equivalent to being able to sit home and watch TV instead of having to go down to the Colosseum is delivered pizza.
"Faux news." As you type that I bet you have no idea that it's not even clever when spoken aloud. I'm guessing you don't even know how the word "faux" is pronounced....
I'm sure many consider FOX News to be "the foe".
But yeah, it's more of a visual pun than an audible one, so it requires an audience that reads and doesn't sneer with disdain (a supposedly rather French thing to do, by the way) at the mere thought of being familiar with a few of the more common French words and phrases.
It is closed, in that in order to have any value to anyone, those U.S. dollars that leave the country eventually have to come back, or at least everyone everywhere has to believe that they can do so and be honored just as much as if they had never left, so while it may be an infinite and eternal closed loop, it's still closed.
Those remittances to Mexico are worthless unless they can ultimately be exchanged for goods and services.
It's not like alchemy, where changing lead into gold results in there being less lead in the universe and more gold.
If you exchange dollars for the Elbonian national currency, you now have that and someone else now has the dollars, and the total number of either in the world has not been changed by the exchange.
Granted I used 4.0 on Windows 98 SE and 24 (and now 25) on XP, but 4 crashed much less often.
But then again, whatever version of Firefox I was running back around the first part of 2013 didn't crash at least once a day the way 24 and 25 have been on this same machine.
I understand that I'm not justified in being very demanding considering I get it for free, but I wish there was a simple way to "un-upgrade" to whatever version I was running before I gave in to the constant nagging to upgrade.
No, I don't remember what version--it was mostly working and not giving trouble, so I didn't give it that much thought.

I was wondering when someone would bring him up, although I think his chief claim to fame in that area was using Light-Emitting Diodes as detectors of light, rather than just as emitters of it.
Yep, it's quite the opposite. If it was limited to working in complete darkness, one could save a little bit of money by getting rid of IR-pass filters that those devices need.
If it's going to use "visible" light, wouldn't it need IR and UV blocking filters?
Although since using light in a completely dark room kind of does away with the whole "completely dark" thing, I may have misunderstood where you were going with that.
IR doesn't always need to be direct line-of-sight. Most peoples' experience with IR is from TV remotes which generally do have to be aimed, but I've got a couple of devices whose remotes are powerful enough that pointing them just about anywhere in the room will control the device. It is possible to use refraction if the setup is designed for it.
And if you have a white or light-colored ceiling or wall, you can use reflection as well.
We have an overhead light fixture in the same room as the main television, and it has a flat white diffuser under its 4 incandescent bulb sockets, and I can carom a remote beam off of that quite easily if I'm standing in the right spot.

What if on the main page of your site it says "We have not been served any secret warrants".
Can they force you to leave that on your site?
Fortunately for our lawnmower, generator, and weedwhacker, there's a convenience store nearby that sells ethanol free gas.
It's about a dollar a gallon more expensive, but we save a lot of time and money not buying and using carb cleaner and carb rebuild kits.

He saw something, obviously. He just wanted to see it more clearly.
But then she closed the curtains and he was stuck contemplating more distant heavenly bodies.

I'm hip deep in TiVo wrangling at the moment so it might be a while before I darken your inbox.
"Was stack trace in anything GL related?"
Unfotunately you're asking that of some whose programming expertise is pretty much on the level of getting Turbo Pascal to say "Hello World".

Yes, but apparently the first Europeans to colonize them were not English, so who does and does not have a valid claim to them isn't prefectly clear.
Ahhhh.... there's nothing else quite like Europeans attempting to take the "high road" in disputes over territory that once belonged to the natives.
Yeah, they tend to take the high road, all the other roads, all the land next to all of those roads...

That's just for malware, which arguably is the most reliable software made these days.

So how is it different than infrared, which has been in use for quite some time?
It's not, it's different from infrared.
But mostly just in carrier frequency.
