Its for high school students looking for a career in explosive. Anyone opposing this is a terrorist. Otherwise, lets restrict all Americans from learning or using explosives because a fag with a turbin blows shit up. How dumb are some of you people.
Germany is a joke if they think a stupid German company no one has heard about takes precedent over a world wide company. Even if Google can't have gmail, no legislation can take gmail.google.de from them? Assuming of course germany didn't take google.de from google. No one has a right to limit what subdomains a company uses.
Granted google's search isn't isn't even as close to being as useless as real player was, but it's rediculous to use the law to get microsoft remove a basic os feature. A main street OS can't lack a search feature or a media player. I bet osx would get far if they had to remove the same features.
Not multiprotocol, but it definitely doesn't include everything that is wrong with the regular aim client. It also has xm radio, voice chat, and video chat built right in. Last time I checked pidgeon forgot to add video support. Plus no ads.
First off no one is going to vista if their perfectly capable graphics card doesn't receive vista support and therefore they miss out on aero. Second add to that all the other devices people have that aren't getting vista drivers. You want more people to upgrade, give them the drivers they want/need.
Why waste your missles on a target that can blow them up in mid air? They need to target a country that can't stop the missles from hitting the ground. Like australia.
Your trying to say a congressman or senator can be bought for 2 grand? How many of these people actually support the RIAA by actions? I think it is far worse if it only takes 2 grand to buy them. So people should actually check this list agaist any real support for RIAA initiatives.
If they aren't going to renew a license to spectrum they just want to lease out rather than use, they should lose the spectrum. Giving the school spectrum most likely was not done so they could make money off of it. It was most likely done so they could use it for networking.
I know they are making a point, but it's a sad point. Usually a site doesn't work in firefox because it relys on some dumb activex control. If a site doesn't work in IE, it's out of ignorance or stupidity.
Sure high school biology didn't discuss cloning in detail, but common sense tells you cloned meat is fine to eat. Hell meat grown in a dish is going to be safer to eat than meat out of an animal. Of course if you don't have to kill animals to eat meat, PETA would have nothing to do, and the livestock industry would tank. So there are too many people invested in spreading the fud to protect their own interests and screw society.
Women won't do crappy work, like physical labor and clearly working shitty hours. It is their fault they have crappier pay. It has nothing to do with descrimination.
And because men are willing to do things like relocate and work crappy hours, it makes more sense there are more men in upper management.
I have an aunt that relocated and travels alot for her job, she is moving up fast.
DRM and activex. Simple as that. The worst is when a site tells you to get firefox and won't display with IE, despite the fact that the site works perfectly in IE and if it doesn't that is only because of ignorant coding.
The police, the principals, and anyone else invovled all need to be fired. Then he needs to turn around and sue the school for millions as well as personally sue the arresting officers and the principal. I would also expect criminal charges against the prinicpal. A decade in jail should straighten her out.
I am no gambler, but with gambling you are supposed to claim any earnings on your taxes and if you win enough the casino collects the taxes on the spot. Trying to implement a sales tax inside a game or something stupid like that is pointless. If treated like gambling, you wouldn't have to worry about who is a casual gamer and who is in it running a business because the casual gamer isn't going to be pulling any significant money out of the account, while an business would be.
The school is forcing students to agree to turnitin's rules. I assume there is an agreement giving turnitin the rights to use the paper when submitted? If not, this is definitely not fair use. Its a commercial application. But if there are terms and students are submitting to their work under these rules, turnitin shouldn't be at fault. The school should be sued. The question will be is the school allowed to force a student to write something and give away the rights to the work to anyone the school wants when submitting for a grade. I assume it will be the schools right to do that and these students will lose.
So they will assign some crazy million dollar value to these and donate them so they can write it off of taxes. Then they won't have to worry about donating real money to a real charity.
Purdue had around 40 notices from the RIAA when they were paying for the stupid Rukus music site for all freshman to have access. When they dropped the service because it was dumb(and I think it didn't even work on ipods), the next year they get over 1,000 notices? It shows the RIAA is just trying to extort colleges into signing what are probably expensive contracts with crappy and useless download services.
I'm sorry but vandalism is a crime, editing wikipidia entries is not. Therefore the word does not apply. The only reason why wikipedia insists on using it is probably to try to get people arrested for it. You leave your site open, you will get bad stuff on it. If you want more control, lock the site down to registered members. Don't try to put people in jail.
Odds are it was an intern playing around on the internet. But if the RIAA has taught us anything, it's that an ip address is useless if multiple people use the internet connection. This guy will never find out who made the entry and if we start holding ip address owners responsible for anything done through their connection, free open wifi is done. I think this just shows the importance of having a PR rep checking crap like this if you want to keep control of infomration about yourself. He could have reported it to wikipedia, they could have fix the entry and they would have locked it with a vandalism warning.
I find it very troubling that wikipedia keeps calling any changes made on it's site that it doesn't like vandalism. To me it seems the only reason to use that word is to claim it's a crime to edit a wikipedia entry with unpopular or bad information. That of course can't be a crime, because the whole point of wikipedia is to be open for anyone to edit.

Look at all the crappiest/dirtiest jobs. Men have them. If you can't see that, your an idiot. Dirty Jobs for example, lots of men on that show.

AT&T should be responsible for prank calls, bomb threats, children calling 900 numbers, etc. Especially if made from a pay phone.

How does a cloned animal's meat differ from a non cloned animals? Plants are cloned all the time, why not meat?

I think students at Ball State can download and install Office 2007 and Windows Vista right now for free.
