Two choices. Get it while it is in the submission queue and vote it down,
Submitter here. Based on this submission, I don't think voting makes a difference. It went from submission to front page so quickly that few people could have voted on it.
it seems that all this hub-a-bub amounts to someone having nailed a few ounces of metal to some part of the ship and it would have next to no impact on the ship's performance. So from an engineering and sport performance perspective... it's a tempest in a teapot.
That is the most puzzling part of this: why? any advantage would be far too small to make any difference to the outcome of a race.
So why the angry rich people hating on Oracle? As far as I can tell, They're angry and running about calling it "cheating" over what appears to be a simple case of not understanding the horribly dense and overly-complicated rules, in a new ship class that just debuted this year.
Last year, actually. It was an AC45 that was modified. These boats have been racing for over a year and are effectively a one-design class. This wasn't an accidental rule violation. This was weight added deliberately:
Microsoft has been paying Nokia $1B/year. As part of a much larger organization, it will be much easier to hide how much money Microsoft is dumping into Windows Phone, including support for marketing and selling handsets below cost.
We don't want to see blackened areas in our parks even though it is necessary to protect them from bigger fires.
Actually, you have this back to front. In the park, they have been doing proscribed burns and the damage in the park is less than that outside the park.
Now of course it's been taken too far and corporate people have become bestowed with more and more attributes of personhood as time goes on. Citizen's United is the most famous recent aspect of this.
I even read (or heard on the radio) some expert claiming that shareholders did not "own" companies, because companies were persons and laws against slavery prevent people owning other people. Yes, really! His argument was that shareholders only owned an entitlement to some share of future profits. Nothing more.
(Lloydâ(TM)s of London is a notable exception; investors pledge all their personal assets. But thatâ(TM)s a special case.)
They are not "investors", they are called "Names", since they don't actually put their capital into Lloyds, they pledge their assets to pay any losses. There is huge risk, but the rewards can also be great since the assets that are pledged can be invested elsewhere for profit.
Indeed. I just looked at logs on a server that acts as an incoming mail filter for a small company. The range of times for spamassassin (spamd) to filter the incoming emails was about 1 to 7 seconds. with most being in the range of 2-4 seconds. This is without bypassing spamd for large emails (spam can be relied upon to be small)
You can board the ferry at Bellingham, washington and get off at Alaska without ever going through Canadian customs.
Until the administration decides that the no fly list applies to cruises also. My point is that the administration's claim that driving is an alternative method of transportation which people on the no-fly list can use is not even valid for interstate travel, let alone international travel.
You have no idea how slow it could be. Compared to the Italian postal service, the USPS is a model of speed and efficiency. So, yes, it could get slower.
I can create an uncompromised cert authority in the next 5 min on my laptop, and it would be effective for exchanging communication between us, if you choose to trust it.
The problem with this approach is that the other person has to stop accepting all other certificate authorities -- otherwise a man-in-the middle attack can be used if any of those certificate authorities can be abused by a government agency.
Um, Secret Squirrel guys, I think that you are doing something completely wrong with that money.
Perfectly reasonable statement, but wrong. The goals of the program are being well met -- it's just that you misunderstand the goal, which is really to funnel money into the privatized defence/intelligence community.
First of all, the idea that "things are done for the shareholders" doesn't hold water. Most of the shares are usually in within the board and the management anyway.
Actually, this is where the current company governance rules are a scandal. In most companies, the board and CEO own a tiny slice of the company, yet the shareholders have little say about critical issues.
The Slashdot story "Linux Vendors Push For Open-Source In Hybrid Datacenter Clouds" has just 19 comments after 4 hours. Now most of Slashdot comments consist of lame karmawhores like tuppe666, tepples, MightyMartian and bmo competing with each other to post the most puerile anti-MS drivel...
... posts an obvious MS fanboy. Just look at your own posting history.
They should pass a law such that unvaccinated kids are separated from other kids at school and put in classrooms together (quarantine). See how long the kids remain either free of measels or unvaccinated!
AFAIK. In fact, a "lord" cannot be a prime minister.
Why would you think this? It is custom that the Prime Minister is a member of the House of Commons, but I don't think there is any legal restriction on it. Perhaps it is the same as the unwritten rule that a Catholic cannot be Prime Minister.

Google "foiling moth video" and prepare to have your mind blown with what can be done with a lot less money!

In this competition, Oracle are the richest of the rich asshats.

Nokia handsets, meet XBox!
Unless this was a couple of decades ago, he was wrong too. The USA allows its citizens to hold dual citizenship and recognizes this status.

Germany still has stretches of autobahn that are unlimited. I can't see this idea going over well in Germany.

I would like to know how I can drive to Hawaii? Or how I can drive to Alaska without the permission of a foreign government.

Actually, no. Mostly all the shareholders can do is vote for a new board and hope that the new board forces management to do what they want.
a rather crude attempt to get Obama's supporters back on his side.
"Don't look over there..... look here, shiny!"

Slight correction: make that unvaccinated kids that have no medical reason to be unvaccinated.

My hurricane scale goes up to 11!

It's such a shame that the set of "cute blondes at work" is an empty set!
Unfortunately, "should" is rarely "does". If a brower receives multiple IP addresses for a name, it doesn't try them in turn, it just tries one.
