Doesnt the fact that the 'Act' include measures which forbid disclosure of many potential abuses?? eg, librarians are forbidden from telling the public that an investigation is under way.. Stiff fines too!! This is a dictatorial act!! Bill of Rights??
riight...
yes, it amazing.. Here is an entity, Google, which seeks to gather all the info in the world, to associate it with particular users (gmail, etc) , to store it forever, and to fail to gaurantee privacy!!
Read the 'Privacy ' statement, people!! Yes , they'll keep it sort of private WHILE THEY OWN THE DATABASE!! The COULD have said that no future sale of the company to another owner would not include that enormously valuable database, but they did NOT say that. Wake up!! This is a monster in the making, gearing up potentially to have devastating power over just about everyone.
well, it all could have been prevented, pretty much. You see, objects orbiting at same altitude do have the same velocity, no matter the mass. So the primary risk must come from debris orbiting on a plane at some significant angle to the shuttle.. eg, russia had no way to launch a single satellite that coujld spy on the entire earth.. It had no near-equatorial launchpad. So, to get full coverage, they had to launch circumpolar sat's.. lots of them... So at same altitude the debris is coming in at 90deg to shuttle orbit. This is very brief and general, but my point is that it was not absolutely nec. that today's risk be as great as it is.
i'd believe his story had he supported the MAME AUTHORS to obtain the registration in THEIR NAMES, and then to support THEM to go after the copyright violators.
unfortunately, that seems not to have been the step taken.
i stopped at the 'install' screen..where it says
"..will require a reboot... cuz we got to replace
some drivers..."
why the hell must any cipher code touch my win2k net drivers?????
i could be wrong, prob am, but i smell a fish...
i cant recall my words, but i was meaning to say its banned as something that is untouched by taxation. One cannot legally 'trade/barter' without reporting the transactions and their value and being responsible for all tax law consequences. It is treated by the feds as being equivalent to pure 'cash' transactions.
Eg, from: http://greaterla.bxinsider.com/about.asp?ao=011#ar etransactiontaxable
See paragraphs entitled: "Are trade transactions taxable?".. and: "Are there any tax advantages to trade?"

Bartering
Bartering is an exchange of property or services. You must include in your income, at the time received, the fair market value of property or services you receive in bartering. If you exchange services with another person and you both have agreed ahead of time as to the value of the services, that value will be accepted as fair market value unless the value can be shown to be otherwise.
Generally, you report this income on Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business, or Schedule C-EZ, Net Profit From Business (Form 1040). However, if the barter involves an exchange of something other than services, such as in Example 3 below, you may have to use another form or schedule instead.
I hope you find these helpful.
sometimes art has to win out!
eg, giving up my Marine Aquarium on dual displays is just a huge artistic sacrifice, when its replaced by such an ugly screensaver!
why does it need to be a screensaver at all??
using non-pulsatile blood distribution is to accept several risks. Vascular hemodynamics is a very complicated matter, indeed!
In some organs, eg, certain regions obtain their oxygenation during 'dyastole' where the blood pressure is lower than the average B.P.. An example is the heart muscle itself!
Oxygenating blood cant flow thru heart muscle itself: its during dyastole that the heart is oxygenated.
Even on more basic cellular levels the movement of oxygen molecules thru cell membranes would certainly be affected: remember, other moities must also leave the cell. That could depend on a minimal time of lower than average BP.
The partial-pressures of oxygen, inside the cell, at the mitochondrial membranes, is very low: on the order of only 5 mm. Hg !!... theres not much room to play around!
I'm not saying it'd be impossible to survive long-term with such a system but that there are many possible risks.
tkjtkj, m.d.
actually, tho i enjoyed yur 'comment', , the (=my!) fact is that my '04 hummer h2 was described pre-buy as getting 10mpg. in fact, i get 11.6 , but then, im an old fart who exited the 'burn rubber' crowd long ago. Now, that's regular gas, unlike the hi-test bneeded by my range rover... which gets about 16 mpg... o one has complained about the RR, even when the cost per mile is about the same.
and the future for MS requires this of Microsoft:
Do everything possible to maintain cash flow in the face of ever-increasing evidence that MS's cash-cow
software is being replaced by Linux.
A desperate move, and predictable.
magnetic induction is not the best thing to have around such things as creditcards, computer chips,
and compasses..
So... how safe is it for the above devices??

for a parent to think that he/she can control the behaviours of their teen kids is to be most niaive!
its a useless, even counterproductive, mis-adventure. Far better to keep dialogues open rather than to delude yourself and to unwittingly encourage your kids to be dishonest.
If you had 'perfect results' , would you really believe it??
i didnt know exactly what his behaviour was.. If he revealed company secrets and/or violated his contract, its no big deal.
If there was no contract,etc, then his rights were violated by MS harming his right to speech, no matter what he said.
well, its not the model listed, but it IS a creditcard sized pda, with calculator, addressbook,
email addr's, phonebook, and more, but lacks i/o other than the touchscreen
Got it in a shrinkwrap at a CompUSA store for $9.99
yes.. nine dollars and ninty nine cents
Hangs 'round my neck on a cord...
If only the b/w screen were brighter

first, the/. article didnt include the reason given by MS for its action. Secondly, isnt it law that contracts my not include terms which are illegal? And if so, certainly removing one's constitutional rights has to be an illegal clause.
why doenst the fellow fight this? At the least, whether he wins or not, the public will see a side of MS that MS might not wish publicized.
Joe Blow cannot infringe upon your right to free speech. He need not be the Government...
The issue in this case would seem to be the blogger's right.. and that is a constitutionally-guaranteed right. It would be a sad state of affaires, indeed, if for example every company could restrict what any or all employees might wish to say on any matter at all... an 'anti-union' concept if there ever was one!
Hopefully some attorney here can shed light.
Attend to the fact that if one of a set of fraternal twins dies ('blighted ovum' might be the term used) then it could have 'died' because of assimilation of its DNA into the 'surviving twin' , and there would therefore be NO evidence that the resulting singleton birth ever was one of a pair.. So , any search for the prevelance of thi Chimera condition must include analysis of ALL births, not just obvious fraternal twins.

"Video-Game Killing Builds Visual Skills"
amazing.
But why didnt they entitle it: "Video Games That Contain Cars and Roads Build Visual Skills"..or..
"... Firehydrants..." or whatever...
The most likely fact is that games that require lots of fast eye-movement have the noted effect..
But "...Killing..." must sell more papers, im sure.

yes, bartering is american pie .. BUT , its also
illegal.
THe government wants its share of EVERY transaction.
Its been banned for a long long time!!

It was sad to see on their site that some miscreant
had created a "team linuxsux"
so, natch, there now is our Team Linux available for your pleasure to join, as well as a Team LinuxRox for the geologiclly challenged among us.
