The connection is so obvious, but somehow this is not considered bribery. Is what the USA needs another truly devastating depression, which seemed to result in more evening out of wealth distribution after the "gilded age"?
I would guess that many of the e-books on the reader are rules, manuals and procedures for current military hardware and practices which are unlikely to change in the next few years.
Clearly you followed/. tradition and did not RTFA, since it makes no mention of non-fiction. t appears that these e-readers are simply a method to provide a library of fiction to keep the sailors entertained.
... why NZ is seen as a hot bed of terrorism, naughtiness and general mayhem. The lead item on the news last night was a political hopeful having to pay back about $350 after claiming on a flight for a friend. Wow. This isn't a country where much happens.
Because it never was about terrorism. It was about controlling the actions of the population. Staying in power. That, and sucking up to the US, since the US pays countries for access to the data.
"The Knowledge" is a stupid name. It tells me these people are haughty, arrogant dicks
I expect some of them are. However, as it takes 1-2 years of (unpaid) riding a motorbike round London to acquire the knowledge, I expect a lot of the arrogant dicks don't make it.
If you'd like to provide ANY evidence that Comcast endorsed or supported NBC's part in the lawsuit,
Do you mean, any evidence apart from the fact that a subsidiary of a cable company is one of the parties suing? I think it strains credulity to think that NBC went ahead with this without getting the OK from Comcast. But perhaps you would like to present evidence that NBC did not ask their parent company?
Otherwise, I'll stick to my original, still correct, statement.
Only correct in your own mind.
The real reason that cable companies are not directly suing is that they don't have standing. They don't own the rights that the lawsuit alleges are being violated.
That's one single edge case, which does not detract from the point in the slightest. No other cable companies were represented, and all other parties were broadcasters, so the situation is extremely clear.
One out of 4 is not an "edge case". Also, Comcast is the biggest cable cable TV company. A more correct statement would be "that Aereo lawsuit was filed by BROADCASTERS and cable companies".
Microsoft is closing the gap, based on what are mostly static, content-free pages. When only active sites are considered, Microsoft is third, behind Apache and nginx. Also, Microsoft's share of the million busiest sites has been in an almost linear decline for years and is also third behind Apache and nginx
The best solution is probably to end the protectionist rackets that limit the numbers of legal taxis.
London taxi drivers are not licensed according to their ability to buy or rent a $500,000 (or whatever the going rate is) medallion or according to a quota, but instead, according to their ability to provide a good service, specifically "the knowledge" -- knowing where every street in London is without using a map and knowing the fastest route there.
They need a warrant to enter a home and they cannot get one.
Of course they can get a warrant. A cellphone broadcasting its position together with the owner's statement that it is their phone is enough to establish reasonable suspicion.
You statement would be true if it were: They need a warrant to enter a home and they cannot be bothered to get one
That 4.1% figure comes from the percentage of those on death row, who are exonerated in the NORMAL appeals process. In other words, they are not executed.
The study doesn't say that at all:
Although only 1.6% of defendants who had been sentenced to death were actually exonerated between 1973 and 2004, 4.1% of defendants were likely falsely convicted,
So, 2.5% (4.1 - 1.6) of defendents on death row are innocent and not exonerated. Undoubtably, some of those were executed.
Furthermore, last time I checked, not a single condemned person in the US has been exonerated after execution
Probably because efforts to help prisoners focus on on those who can still be helped: ie, those prisoners who were not executed. There was a case in Texas just a few years back where the primary evidence was opinions by an arson investigator. Opinions that were shown to be false when someone actually burned down a similar house and looked at the result as part of a proper study.
Keeping them alive does nothing except waste taxpayer money on people who will never be productive members of society.
Yeah, No. The cost of executing prisoners is higher than the cost of incarcerating them for life. Unless you want to look at states with expedited executions -- and what is the percentage of innocent people who are executed in those states?
Yea, somehow banks are using HFT to magically pull money out of thin air, definitely not at the expense of traders, because traders are being so well served.
I was talking to someone who works for a HFT company recently and his argument was that the amount of money pulled out of the market is less than was pulled out by the market makers under the original manual system when there was trading taking place on an exchange floor.
I don't know if this is true, but if the intent was simply to automate the markets to eliminate the middlemen (market makers), I suspect that HFT is an expensive way to do it.
It wasn't a failure, but there was almost a huge disaster in the UK. As for your three, I assume your list is Fukashima, Cernobyl and Three Mile Island?
The United States became a free country due to General George Washington out-spying the British. Spying played an important role in defeating the Confederacy and freeing the slaves......
Do you really see no difference between spying on foreign enemies and domestic warrantless spying on one's own citizens?

Perhpas you have heard of a thing called a UPS, or, perhaps, a battery, which most laptops seem to contain these days.
Please explain how the link you provided supports your claim of a quadrupling of inflation-adjusted per-pupil costs since 1962.

YMMV. Even when roaming internationally, I don't pay anything per US text message, although I do pay for international texts (I think).

How long before wearing one of these makes you a potential terrorist in the eyes of the police, FBI, etc.?

The was no change. The 95% claim was BS.
Next question: will they now work on Zombie processes?

Avoids bothersome re-trials or re-opening of inquiries when new evidence shows the now executed person might have been innocent.
Yeah, No. The cost of executing prisoners is higher than the cost of incarcerating them for life. Unless you want to look at states with expedited executions -- and what is the percentage of innocent people who are executed in those states?

Don't confuse a partial reading of the page with the full text, which goes on to say:
