Wrong.

What does it cost to leave something that huge parked in (what I presume is) a good spot in a major city for twenty years?
Currently $60,000 per month, but I don't know who owns the dock. It's right by the Walmart and there's a lovely view of the ship from the Ikea cafeteria across the road.
If you made a list of internets, it would be a short list. Hard to claim that "internets" have become generic when there's only the one.
More correctly internet (small 'i') has always referred to any network, such as your local LAN or maybe a multi-site network. Small 'i' internets are countless. The Internet (capital 'I') refers to all of the interconnected internets.
In high school (early 70s) we had use of a computer timesharing service (Leasco Response Inc utilizing HP 2000A computers) via a TTY Model 33KSR and an acoustical coupler, but a dial lock was placed on the phone outside of normal class hours. A small bunch of us would frequently stay after classes and dial up using the pulse method on the hook button.
Same here. Popup without ANY indication what was installed or why. No mention of anything in AppStore Update history either. They do that already for regular security updates. Why not for the auto-pushed one ? At least I would have expected to see a "Security update automatically installed on December 23. Click here for more info." message.
I agree. You can find the install info, but not in the App Store where you'd expect to see it. About this Mac -> More Info (opens System Info) - under Software, click on Installations, then click on the Install Date header to sort.
What you assume is incorrect. Automatic updates are not enabled on my Mac, and this update was the first ever that installed all by itself, merely notifying me after it had done so.
It installed automatically on my Mavericks machine with a notification afterwards. The option I have checked that allowed it is: System Preferences -> App Store -> and checkbox "Install system data files and security updates"

You use that phrase a lot, blissfully unaware that there's no such legal device as imminent domain. Maybe you're referring to eminent domain? Not being able to spell the term, you probably know very little about what it entails.
No, this was a clear violation of CPNI. They either needed to confirm his identity via physical photo ID or his password/Pin over the phone. If they gave ANY information about his account at all, even the fact that he had one, without the Pin/Password they violated CPNI and their fines will be substantial.
Now if his Pin was something stupid like his birthday, well that's his own fault.
As far as I understand it, CPNI rules only apply to telecommunications carriers.
With the astounding ignorance of patents shown by the majority of posters here, not to mention lack of knowledge of the actual claims listed in the proposed patent,/. has officially gone full retard.
Your insurance pays everything after you hit your annual out-of-pocket-maximum. For instance the lowest-end plan offered by my employer:
Lowest premium with highest deductible No office visit co-pays, but member is responsible for full cost of care until $6,000 (individual) or $12,000 (family) deductible is met No co-insurance responsibility - After $6,000/$12,000 deductible/out-of-pocket max is met, plan pays 100% for covered services Certain preventative care is covered at 100% Prescriptions have the same co-pay amounts as other PPO options ($10 for generic, $40 for formulary).
As an individual, my total yearly cost beyond the premium payments is capped at 6,000.
Note a lot of plans have a higher out-of-pocket-max than the deductible.
With various reports referring to it as a power outage and others as a test of backup systems, I'd guess this was a generator load test where something went wrong with the transfer switch. We do those off-hours monthly at the data center where I work and, being the nervous sort, I'm grateful they usually coincide with one of my days off, although ours have gone smoothly.
Let me know if they ever figure out how to apply this bacteria to seed before planting or spraying after sprouting. Then they'll have something worth talking about.
Er, that's exactly what is disussed in TFA:
"The process that Cocking developed, based on his discovery, is known as N-Fix. It involves covering seeds in a non-toxic coating that contains the bacterium. As a seed sprouts and the plant grows, the bacterium enters through its roots, and ultimately ends up in every cell of the plant. This means that every one of those cells is capable of fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere – just like sugarcane does."

Does UPS have a problem with people following their big brown trucks around and grabbing packages? I don't think so.
Actually exactly that has been happening, according to some recent reports in my section of Philadelphia.

They certainly don't work for the government!
In Soviet Philadelphia, the government works for Comcast. Seriously. That's how we avoided having that pesky RCN build a competing system here.
Seriously. RoknrolZombie makes a ridiculous point. If justice meant every citizen had to read every court transcript then justice would be impossible.
Instead, we hire professionals to do that work for us. We call them "judges".
Or we hire jurors and pay them each $9 per diem.
Same here.

No. Bezos bought the Washington Post newspaper and online version, but he did not buy the Washington Post Company, which owns slate.

Minus the ridiculous fees no doubt.
Of course, Bitcoin probably doesn't go very far at the Terre Haute prison commissary.....
Oh I disagree. I would imagine the population there would be familiar with the Silk Road.
I think that's the Hershey Highway you're thinking of.

Some high profile companies/people fucked up and lost money, so the market shut down.
Er no, this was an unrelated glitch with Goldman 2 days *before* last weeks Nasdaq shutdown.

At the ISP where I work one of our ticketing systems actually has Rodents as a standard cause code.
