Thanks, I read it as Good For You, and was having trouble making sense of the post.
Good for you is just a polite way of saying go fuck yourself. They really mean the same thing but one can be said in polite company and the other just gets the point across.
Indeed. Therefore the customer, namely the executive in charge.
I'm 100% for this. Give me some time to clone myself then I'll be 200%. The executive in charge should not be allowed to hide behind a cooperate name. He need to be held accountable for what people do under him.
Perjury is a felony. Perjury penalties include fines and up to 5 years in prison. I doubt we will see any such thing applied to HBO for lying to the courts.
Of course you won't see anything from it. The system is geared to protect people from this. It's a corporation and not actual person doing this. Sure you can fine them $2,500 for each instance but that is nothing to a company like HBO.
When a corporation breaks the law someone needs to head to jail. In my option, several people. The lawyer that made the stupid thing. Lawyers should know better. He fired off a take down notice, turns out its not a legal one. Off to jail. I don't care if he didn't know it wasn't a legal one. He should have done better research, after all ignorance of the law is no excuse.
The CEO is a good one too. He is, by definition, the captain of the ship and responsibility ends with the captain. He should know what is going on under his watch. An I don't give a shit if the company is too big for one man to know everything that is going. You take the responsibility of the job as CEO, and the paycheck, you get all the penalties too. Someone in the company breaks the law for the company his ass goes to jail and so does the CEO.
As soon as some of these assholes start doing a little time in prison a lot of this shit would stop.
I loved computer shopper. Not the souless glossy pamphlet that it became. The real computer shopper was 300+ pages of nothing but ads all printed on cheap pulp paper, heavy enough to make phone books jealous and mailmen cry.
It was a cheap source of paper and weight when in need, like when you are sitting on the toilet and notice your short of a vital component. Got a computer shopper, your covered. Need something to hold your ass down when a hurricane winds a blowing, your covered. Got a body to sink and got no cement, your covered.
Damn I miss that book, but I'm sure glad my ex wife missed when she threw one at me.
When I got my first LCD back around 2004 or so I noticed a very strange effect. Text, mostly green and red on a black background, would stand up off the screen. It was liking I was reading the text in 3d. At first I thought it was kind of neat, then annoying. Over the years it has went away for the most part. Every now and then I notice it.
When I first saw this I though it was something like the 3d effect that 3d movies use. But then again I and my daughter are among the 10% that can't see 3d movies. We goto a 3d movie and they look just like regular 2d movies to us.
The only thing you know from the fact that they haven't arrested him yet is that they haven't arrested him yet. You don't know they won't, and you don't know they don't have any evidence. They may very well be waiting until they have all the ducks lined up so they can go to trial quickly. Or they may be letting the guy sweat a bit, watching him to see if he leads them to anything else. There are examples of arrests that come a year or more after the crime, especially if it is the result of a long-term sting operation. You could apply your "they don't have a case if they haven't made an arrest during an ongoing investigation", but you'd be just a wrong then as now.
You do have a good point there, and this would not be the first time I've been wrong on such and assumption. I assumed that Zimmerman would walk at one point because the hadn't charged him with anything turns out the prosecution was just waiting for the ducks to line up.
Well sometimes when we assume anything we often end up looking like the first first 3 letters of that word.
Sure Office has issues opening files from other formats and this a big problem for the other office programs. Yes, its a big problem for the other office programs and not a problem for Office. Its this way simply because Office is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Weather you like it or not where Office goes the other office programs will have to follow. An I actually don't like it. I despise Office 2013.
I've been in the work place longer than I care to comment on. I've written documents in nroff, which I miss, wordperfect, scribble, and Word. Never have I had a document rejected because it was in Word format. I've had PDF's rejected because they where pdf.
I'm writing documents in librewrite at the moment. The are strictly for my use and my flunky behind me. Its probably a bad idea on my part because if the docs where to be made "official" I will have to redo them in Word.
What about when the pig is searching my phone at the accident he comes across the text my brother sent me about the 5 kilos of weed he scored? Or the notes I made when I buried the body. or the bank account numbers to my secret millions that I've stolen?
I use both Libreoffice and MSoffice. To say that libre office is any way a competitor to MSoffice is foolish. It's like saying the gimp is a real competitor to photoshop. Libreoffice, like the gimp, gets the job done when professional tools are not available but they lack the support and integration that the professional tools have.
The biggest issues of using libreoffice in a real office is compatibility of the documents. While it is true that both office and libreoffice can read and write each others native formats, these formats are not 100% perfect. I have written simple documents in libreoffice, saved them in docx format, and then loaded them in office 2010. The result was readable and even usable, but look completely alien to what I had on typed up under librewrite. The reverse was also true. If I had submitted the document I wrote in librewrite it would have been rejected for poor formating.
I'm not saying this because I love Ms office. I actually prefer to work in librewrite because of its simpler interface. I'm saying this because its true.
I've read several stories on this and here is what I take on this. Seems everyone has a different take on this.
They have evidence that he might have been storing child on the encrypted drives. They don't have any real evidence, such as the pictures themselves, just that he might. What they have done is decrypted a weaker drive and found a file structure that indicates this. Maybe it contains links to common child porn file names and the files have been deleted and can't be recovered. All they have is the names now but no pictures.
File names are not going to be a solid case, they need the pictures themselves. So they suspect the pictures are on the other drives. The ones they can't decrypt. So they are trying to make him cough up the password. Since they haven't arrested him that tells me they don't have a solid case.
Seems to me that it would be in his best interest to clam up and not say a word. Any charges they can come up with to force him to decrypt those drives would be nothing compared to what he would get if they did find child porn on those drives.
Well with modern genetic engineering we can grow ears on a mouse and have goats that glow in the dark. Crossing a pig with a buzzard shouldn't be to hard.
Virtual machines. I routinely run at least two virtual machines when working. Those machines need about 2 to 4 gb each. That is why my host has 16 gb on it.
I'm of the option that most world leaders are some what crazy. But in all honesty I believe the little runt may actually be insane. I don't mean figuratively, but medically certifiably bats ass insane.
Hopefully someone, China?, will nut up and send in the brute squad to put him down before he moves from mildly annoying fruit basket to full blown menace. An I mean menace with nuclear weapons.
No, its perfectly fair. Most patent trolls are lawyers anyway. A lot of them know they are just fishing for free money, Don't have any sympathy for them.
Lets say you and your friends get together and circle jerk every Friday night. Now then, I'm a patent troll that has filed a patent on circle jerking. Now a patent on circle jerking is stupid, I know that, and you know that but my plan is to sue you and your friends anyway hoping you will settle. Now you decide to fight my patent so we go to court.
To go to court you have to hire a lawyer and do research to prove that circle jerking is in the public domain or at least covered by prior art. All this will take time and money to do. You will also lose time that could be used in more productive things, like circle jerking on Friday night with your friends.
During this time you will not be allowed to profit off of your activities. I'm not sure how you could profit off of circle jerking with your friends on a Friday night. Maybe something involving a web cam, youtube, and a paypal account. Any way, you would not be able to profit off of this and any profits you had before could be seized if you lose the lawsuit.
Under my proposal if I lost, I would have to pay for your defense, pay you for your time and the lost of any profit for your activites. Plus I could no longer sue anyone that likes to sit around with their friends on the Friday night and circle jerk for pleasure or profit.
I like this bill but I would take it a step farther. If the patent troll loses, not only do they have to pay the defense, they need to compensate the poor SOB they sued, AND they need to lose access to the original patent they where suing over.
Nonsense! The Quran calls for Christians and Jews to be treated with respect. They get discriminated against tax-wise and freedom of speech is impossible to achieve, but killing Christians is certainly not allowed. Polytheists, atheists and apostates are fair game though.
Horse shit. The Quran, unlike The Bible, doesn't contradict itself in later passages. That is a passage written later on in the quran will superseded one written earlier. When Mohammad told muslim to respect Christians, Jews and pagans, he was surrounded by them. If he didn't say such things they would have stomped a mud hole in the ass of him and his followers.
Later passages in the quran clearly state to kill all unbelievers. These passages where written after Mohammad insane brand of superstition had taken control of the areas. Since they where the dominate force in the area they where free to kill and murder at will. Which they pretty much have been doing for the last 1600 years.
I'm pretty sure some muslim or muslim apologist is going to state that I'm wrong. But if you are reading this I want to point out the practice of Taqiyya. Basically it says muslims can lie to non muslims about Islam. Just want to put that out there, so that if you are listening to a muslim say wonderful things about their brand of superstition, odds are they are lying to you.
Yes, 600 years ago Christianity went through brand of savagery. But today Islam is still deep in savage era. In an age of nuclear and biological weapons, that bullshit doesn't work. Muslims are actively trying to get a hold of such weapons. No matter how bad Christianity was it never reached the point where its brand of bats ass crazy could kill millions of people. Mohammad and his brand of bats ass crazy can and will if allowed to continue.
Seriously? When South Korea recently launched a satellite the world was quiet, like nobody noticed that SK is an aggressive puppet regime occupied by tens of thousands of US troops. DPRK was condemned by the so called "international community" for their launch. Double standards.
Seriously. Are really this stupid or do you have to work at it?
The problem with just shooting down their shit is they will start shooting at S. Korea. I read that N. Korea has thousands of cannons pointed at Soel. If they fired all of them off they could effectively remove the S. Korean capital before we could do a thing about it. N. Korea as it stands is not a threat to the United States to any real degree. What they are is a major threat to U.S. allies in the area.
That being said, I think that I must agree with you. There is going to come a time, unless there is a major political change in N. Korea, that we will have to deal with this idiot sooner or later. It would be better to deal with him now than wait till they got a real nuclear capability.
Of course if we do decide to remove the little man with the funny hair cut with extreme and righteous force, its going to honk the Chinese off to no end. Maybe if we let them have Taiwan in exchange for us being able to eviscerate the N. Korean government? Don't think that will fly.
The only way to resolve that would be to get rid of the regime, but that's unlikely to happen because China doesn't want US forces on their border.
There is another way. Feed the people of N. Korea directly. Ignore the government an the little crazy man with the bad haircut. Take high flying aircraft and drop food bundles all over the country. Hell, drop MRE's so they scatter making it hard to gather them all up. This way the army can't just impound them, but they will be every where. Make sure written on the package is says where and who they are from. Put those little digitized voice chips in there that say where they are from in the Korean language.
Make sure everything is open to inspection. Let China inspect the packages at will so they will know its a humanitarian mission and not clandestine cold war type bullshit. Put some Chinese observers on the planes too so they can supervise the drops. That way N. Korea might think twice about shooting them down.
Hoss, you don't know how many times I have said just that. I'm about as skeptical of this thing as I am the existance of bigfoot. But hell, the Chinese say they have it, lets see it work.
Bull fucking shit. The day I see Microsoft release a version of office for linux is the day I'll reviel my true name and vow to never write a star trek book again.
Two words. Drone Season. There you go, its a self correcting problem. You can increase the tax base by selling licenses too. Just thing, for $75 bucks every gun toating, drunk ass redneck can fill the sky with lead.
Errr, on second though, maybe this isn't such a good ideal.
