It's a shame this announcement was necessary. A generation ago, it wouldn't have been required.
Now that it's been made perfectly clear, I'd like to see the next DC police officer who interferes with a citizen-photographer lose his job.
I'm not sure that a generation ago this clarification of rights wouldn't have been necessary. For a very long time the police have wanted to be in full control of the entire situation. And whether that includes shooting your dog because he barked, or stopping photography by anyone who isn't the press where there was already a too cozy relationship, this has gone on for far too long.
I would have to say that this attack is not the same people. They were never so obvious in telling you that you've just been pwned.
Instead of going after Australia for their data retention law (which is pretty small potatoes compared to a nuclear device in the hands of a rogue state run by religious fanatics) why hasn't Anonymous gone after Iran? Iran can't build their weapon without computers and Anonymous has been basically overall useless, if not annoying, since they gave up on attacking Scientology.
European countries always seem to have the most common sense in their rulings. USA is out of reality and Asia keeps to their own stuff. EU shines.
And where is the part of freedom of speech that a private business is told by the government who they must do business with? My exercise of my free speech shouldn't exist to my ability to compel businesses to have to deal with me on my terms. If there are other networks then let Wikileaks use them. There is a downside to your business image by dealing with Wikileaks criminals and I can understand why many businesses might prefer to keep their distance from them, lest they lose other, more valuable, customers who can still chose to voluntarily do business with other, more responsible, providers. What Wikileaks has done is a crime in many countries and many people may prefer not to deal with them -- or see them strung up for it.
And I don't even have an iPhone. I don't even have a smartphone.
Then you're out of the game entirely, aren't being affected by any of this, and probably should be bothering to even have an opinion on it overall since that's only imposing your view on other people who are in the game and are affected by all of this.
Needs to be said: Apple must die. I don't want an all Apple world; they don't deserve a good number of the patents that they have been erroneously granted; and it they were gone they would be little missed by many many people because they, their always high prices and overly generous profit margins, and their walled-garden beliefs, aren't what many of us want in our devices.
The challenge to me of this type of puzzle is to use the tools and skills available to me and to write my own solver program for it on computers with compilers that I have available. Like I've done for Maverick Solitaire in the past. And to have an efficient solution that doesn't need the Amazon Cloud to solve every possible combination through poor programming. The satisfaction of having my own program reach the answer well exceeds using anyone else's solver program.
My personal (and protected) opinion is that Charles Carreon should lose his law license over this for Barratry immediately, if not sooner. And let him be a lesson to all other lawyers who would consider the same course of action.
Why can't you live without your AC? Many places are much warmer and people can't afford AC. They simply adjust and get used to the heat. Men is adapted to hunt kudus in the scorching heat of the southern African plains and should be able to deal with this. Accept the heat and stop wasting energy please.
It is not a waste of energy to cool my house to a safe and comfortable level and I will use my energy any way I damn well please as long as I'm paying the bill for it.
Back in the 1950s, we used "coolers" - huge metal boxes that cooled by evaporative cooling.
In Tucson, AZ, swamp coolers work great for about 46 weeks of the year, although they're not needed in the winter months. Humidity can be in the single digits, and usually 30%. But for the 6 weeks of Sonoran Monsoon season (storms hitting the town with a vengeance today) the humidity is through the roof and the coolers lose their effectiveness. If you can stand those 6 weeks, they are the energy efficient solution to have.
Interestingly enough, the United States and Russia, along with Britain and France -- maybe China, maybe not -- refined their fissionable material and built their original atomic bombs w/o the assistance of computers at all, let alone anything like the PCs and control systems of today. Iran seems incapable of this level of engineering.
I say stop making excuses for and pandering to "young people". If they can't integrate with the "real world" IRL then they can just starve to death in their pathetic little digital corners. There are plenty of things in life that require one to get off one's own ass - voting is one of them.
I remember that BG was married there and given how he has bought up all of the property around his Lake Washington home for a greater buffer zone, along with other rumors that he was looking for greater privacy, That BillG was going to buy Lana'i. I mean, it's big enough to hold your largest house, add a landing field, and you get an 8000 foot deep moat around the whole thing. What's not to like?
If I was rich enough to own Lana'i, I'd go back to pineapple farming on it. I flew over it in those days it it looked lovely and peaceful.

The moment you start engineering in compromises -- e.g. Clean Fuels -- into the design you are setting yourself up for less than optimal results.
Or on the other hand, the headline could have been: STUDY FINDS SHARK'S TEETH AS WEAK AS HUMAN TEETH.

Why not supply the game on a bootable Linux CD for optimal performance. Could run it on Apple machines as well.

You might not have recognized it at first because sadly it is such a rare event.

tough having to choose between modding parent as flamebait and replying in argument.
being a lawyer is a noble profession. no one likes lawyers until they realize they are at a point in their lives where they need one.
The problem is that too often the point where you realize that need is when some other lawyer is coming after You.

How about not living in a hot place in the first place -- at least for the summer months?

This couldn't be happening to a nicer, or more deserving, rouge state than Iran.

Like!
But do we want young people voting? They voted in large numbers in 2008 and look what we got because of it.
