I live in California, and I can assure you that California Democrats never saw a spending program they didn't love or a tax they didn't vote for. The result, of course, is that businesses are leaving here as fast as they can, taking their jobs with them.
There's a considerable difference between allowing people to download and view content and allowing them to put it up in a publicly available archive. As British law reads (No, IANAL, but unlike most Slashdotters, I RTFA before posting.) you have to get permission for each and every site you archive this way, making any British archive strictly opt in. It would quite literally take an act of Parliament to change this.
The Jewish form of the Golden Rule reads, "Don't do unto others what you wouldn't like them to do unto you." When he starts messing with somebody else's hard disk, open up a file on his box, make a trivial change and save it. Undo the change and save again. Lather, rinse, repeat until he complains about how his box is grinding to a halt. Explain to him that this is exactly what he's doing to others, and that he might want to reconsider his attitude.
Warning: don't do this unless you're willing to go job-hunting.
I have some hearing loss, and went to a seminar at the VA once about adapting. I don't know how good lip readers get, but for me, at least, it's mostly useful if I have an idea what's being said and just need to fill in bits that I didn't quite catch. I suspect that this will need at least some training with the user, just like voice recognition software does, and that it's going to be a long time before it's good with anything but a very limited vocabulary.
but hopefully with things like this new chip combined with new processes of putting together e-ink screens will bring the price down.
Even if that doesn't bring the price down much, sales will go up. If they go up enough, economies of scale may well bring the cost per unit down enough to make them more affordable.
If the process is so obvious, why didn't anybody see it ahead of time? AGW is becoming a "theory of everything," where no matter what happens, it's used as proof that AGW is true.
The video I watched stopped moments before impact and was likely what was aired on NBC,
The video I had the misfortune to watch on NBC showed the impact. And, my argument wasn't that people did watch it over and over on the idiot's blog, but that he was making it possible.
For you it was a training video. I'm not involved in any such program, so I don't feel the need to see it. I don't know why you think I want this hushed up or forgotten, I just don't think that showing the video over and over served any useful purpose.
Had I not gotten to see that video and better understand what was going on at the time of the accident I would simply have had to take the word of a bunch of talking heads and the Olympic Committee, frankly I preferred to make my own judgment.
And if the video had stopped when he left the track, leaving out the impact, would it have made a difference? Wanting to know how the accident happened is one thng; wanting to see him killed, over and over, is what I'm referring to as "ghoulish."
NBC only showed it two or three times. Then, they announced that they wouldn't be showing it again. It's a shame that CTV didn't follow their lead in this.
If that blogger had given a damn about the moral high road, he wouldn't have posted the video in the first place. Please note that the day it happened, NBC announced that they would not be airing the footage again and that the man's father has said that he doesn't want to watch it. The only reason to post it was so that ghouls could get their vicarious thrills over and over again by watching a man DIE.
Which often need to be called "The Thieves and Liers Party" & "The Liers and Thieves Party" were normal "truth in advertising" laws applied:)
Currently, it could well be said that the two parties in the US are being run by the Nuts and the Creeps. I'll leave it to you to decide which is which.
With su you give full control over the root account,
You miss the point: with su you become root, although, of course, to get the full root environment takes su -. And, more important, to do so you need to know the root password, which means that you could simply log in as root if su weren't available. I won't comment about sudo because I don't use a distro that requires it.
There is no better prevention than to have your own life on the edge. Yes, I do know there are people willing to do anything regardless the consequence, but I think there would be a net benefit for all if you had to kill face-on.
Tell it to the Greeks at Troy, Salamis or Thermopylae. Or, if you prefer, the Romans at Cannai or Actium. The Crusaders under Richard I might also have something to say in response.
Two comments: first, we're talking about science here, not politics. Second, you'd be amazed how many of the AGW True Believers can't wrap their heads around the idea that a warmer climate means a larger food supply, preferring to pretend that areas in the lower latitudes will get "too hot" for crop production.
As far as calling it "Climate Change" goes, that still makes the false assumption that the Earth's climate isn't constantly changing, and from a false assumption, you can deduce anything.
Sometimes the simplest defect can cause very nasty looking symptoms and look like a giant problem even though it has a very simple solution.
And I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that this is one of them. Please understand; I'm not Microsoft bashing, just wondering why this particular bug didn't get caught earlier, because it looks like it's triggered by a very common type of text.
Isn't this the kind of thing that's supposed to be caught before a product goes into beta testing? Outlook is used by large numbers of big corporations, and including numbered and/or bulleted lists are not exactly uncommon in their email. I don't know what type of testing this went through in-house, and I'm not exactly an expert in such things, but it does seem odd that they didn't spot it sooner.
To me, at least, the issue with that completely erroneous number (Calling it "flawed" is too generous IMO.) is the fact that it came from a publication that the authors should have known better than to have relied on, at least without doing any checking to see if it was, in this case, accurate. AFAICT, they saw the prediction, decided that it fit their beliefs and included it without a moment's thought as to whether it was a good idea or not. If so, how many other careless attributions are there that haven't been spotted? I'm not saying there are any, but who knows?

And now you know exactly why California's bankrupt. Remember: only in San Francisco would Nancy Pelosi be considered mainstream.

Actually, the models were corrected to "predict" this after the fact.
You do realize, don't you, that a warmer climate leads to longer growing seasons and that leads to more food?
Except for one: the average consumer can't get a legal copy of any version of Windows for free.

Are you sure he wasn't eating Candi? If so, and depending on their ages, they might have been violating some sort of blue-nose law about teenage sex.
