While you are correct that the statement is most commonly used in court, it holds meaning outside too.
No, it doesn't. Anyone who's ever seen an innocent person convicted in the kangaroo court of public opinion and spend the rest of their life in a futile attempt to recover their ruined reputation would never blithely mouth empty sentiments like that.
In truth, the "outside of court" mantra is "guilty even if found innocent".
The appropriate journalistic response is, apparently, a feeble Emily-Litella-esqe "...never mind" after the end of a long-winded, spittle-flinging, completely off-topic rant.
Exceptionalism. It's not just for countries anymore!
And it never was.
At the bottom of most angry, worked-up, take-it-back revolution is the thought "I deserve <x> more than that schlub over there, and by cracky, I'm gonna take it!"
It's pretty much akin to the 4-year-old's definition of "fair": "What I want".
The pipefitter may admire and envy the sculptor, but the pipefitter that tries arranging the plumbing into something like a Highfield is the pipefitter that loses his job and his union card.
Still, I don't think you should just walk away from Knuth, even if it doesn't pay the bills. Some parts of Knuth are art. Some parts of Knuth are more like craft. Some parts of Knuth is just basic workmanship. I recommend reading it for your own edification, just like the pipefitter may want to be an amateur sculptor in his off hours. (And who knows, maybe hit it big and ditch his pipefitting gig.)
It looks like they failed to understand that since the game uses BT you will have a P2P app running when you update it.
No, they understand perfectly. They just don't care.
Therefore we recommend turning off the peer-to-peer setting in the World of Warcraft game
Their reasoning is: "We effectively prohibit BT. Period. Since you can download patch material for Blizzard games without BT, that's what you will do. If you don't like it, you can find another internet provider in our fully-monopolized non-competitive metropolitan service area (MWAHAHAHAH!)."
And yet, according to TFA, the researchers were able to extinguish a foot-high flame (presumably fed via compressed gas of some sort) with only a 600 watts of electricity AND they suspect they could do it with much less.
Probably generated with a Fleischmann/Pons cold fusion generator they whipped together from spare parts.
Let's see how this discovery fares in independent validation.
I'm not sure what heuristic you'd propose for "many different IP addresses". My Android phone, running the Amazon MP3 app, would almost certainly my sole use of the music storage capability, and I can guarantee it will show usage from at least two different IP addresses from time to time: one while I'm using 3g data, and one from wireless at home. And if I roam much, the 3g data IP address will change, as will my home IP address (thanks to DHCP from my cable internet provider). And that would just be me, from exactly one device.
That said, the *AA types would disregard that, but again they'd disregard anything in order to continue to attempt to litigate out of existence any form of media delivery in which they don't get absolute control and a majority of the money.
Your proposal is nonsensical, but the media pigocrats would go for it.
Well, maybe. I know that on Android mobiles, the newest version of the Amazon MP3 app (previously used to shop for MP3 songs and albums) is now their "cloud service" client as well.
I wish I'd known that was what they app updated was for; I would have stuck to the old "shop only" version, since I have no intention of using their music player and the added "features" bloated the app, making it take up more precious phone-only application storage.
Or the many petrochemical-fueled non-road machines (lawn mowers, chain saws, dirt bikes, generators, etc.), which will still provide a smidge of tax revenue even if every road vehicle in the US went electric or human-powered or horse-drawn this instant.
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street, If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat. If you get too cold I'll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
And regarding the 'creating a bad user experience' , due to 'sub-par' devices , I'll decide that for myself , thank you very much : i don't need anyone to 'protect' me from 'bad user experience'
^^ THIS.
If I wanted a paternalistic consumer electronics provider to protect me from its idea of a bad user experience, I'd have locked myself into the shiny fruit-themed cage like a few other million. Not for me, and it's damned annoying that Google seems to be thinking the same way as Apple.
Well, if that matters, you just go right ahead and visualize Denise Richards as Carmen Ibanez as you read the book. That satisfies that particular requirement while saving you from the rest of the hideous abortion that movie was.
I take it that my point has been made, but if not, let me be explicit: the most breathtakingly huge and stupendously angry flame wars have been launched over the most minute and trivial differences. "Flamage" and "nerdrage" were not coined because of the rarity of the phenomena they described.
"True" geeks want the Right Thing, whether convoluted or simple. Effectiveness is part of the measure of Rightness, but hack value and elegance counts. As well as relative ease. We are lazy, after all. (My personal philosophy is to emulate the noble Lion: sleep 23 hours, and then eat whatever the huntresses have caught.)
a person's reaction time starts to take a hit way before the person becomes unable to use an app like this
Well, there's our answer! Design a reaction-time-testing game into teh app. If you fail, you'll never know, but the app will lie to you about checkpoint locations, trying to route you into the first one between "here" and your destination.
This is only possible if you are forced to use a browser with that CA cert installed, and the company has a proxy or other software/hardware that can essentially do a Man In The Middle attack.
And since the subject of TFA is government-internal government-provided IT services and networks, that's not just feasible, it's easy. If you're on the gov.au internal network, you would be using hardware assets provided by the government for performing government duties. These hardware assets would be administratively configured to run government-configured browser software which includes a trusted CA relationship with the gov's own self-signing faux certificate authority. And, of course, you can't run any other browser, because removable media access (perhaps all, perhaps execution privileges) and the right to run un-signed apps are denied in the OS permissions rollout as well.

Somebody said to me, "But the Beatles were anti-materialistic." That's a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, "Now, let's write a swimming pool."

It's quite totally wrong. Superhighways carry trucks, but the internet is a series of tubes, not a bunch of trucks.
We know this with absolute certainty.
So, TUBES or GTFO.

That's not strictly true.
A few times, slashdotters will mentally downmod without reading TFA, then be goaded into reading by comment-trolls, and then mentall downmod again.
In other words, --i-- should be a valid construct.
I see this confusion a lot.
Just because you're not good at it, doesn't mean you're not doing it. Just doing it badly.
So, yeah, unions are failing, but not for lack of trying.
Good point.

Of course, I don't think NASA is blogging from Alpha Centauri or Barnard's Star. But it might explain a lot of things.

They usually like all the same stuff.
Good point. And they all use vi instead of emacs.
