  14. Not the same network on Alternatives to TAP for Outage Alerts? · · Score: 1

    The network he'd be sending the message on is not the same network that's down. More likely it's a problem of signing everyone up for accounts on the SMS network and then getting those accounts to work with their phones.

  24. Re:You don't go around breaking rules... on What The RIAA Gets Out Of File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Rulers may be mistaken about their own interest in what they command. In this case it is not just to obey the ruler. Is he who is mistaken about the sick a physician in that he is mistaken? or is he who errs in arithmetic or grammar is an arithmetician or grammarian at the time when he is making the mistake, in respect of the mistake? True, we say that the physician or arithmetician or grammarian has made a mistake, but this is only a way of speaking; for the fact is that neither the grammarian nor any other person of skill ever makes a mistake in so far as he is what his name implies; none of them err unless their skill fails them, and then they cease to be skilled artists. No artist or sage or ruler errs at the time when he is what his name implies; though he is commonly said to err, and I adopted the common mode of speaking. But to be perfectly accurate, we should say that the ruler, insofar as he is a ruler, is unerring, and, being unerring, always commands that which is for everyone's interest; and the subject is required to execute his commands.
