I assume he's referring to California, but my understanding of their law (IANAL), is that it is illegal to refuse to *identify* yourself to a peace officer - this has nothing to do with producing identification.
See, that's also confusing. When you have a fully featured browser already in the phone, why compete with a substandard browser that's incapable of surfing anything more than static sites?
Are you just making things up as you go along, or..?
Opera Mini supports a great deal of JavaScript / "AJAX" functionality (I frequently use it to access various Google services, including the full Gmail), and for many users might prove more favorable than the iPhone Safari due to its proxy/caching features.
If Apple still refuses Opera's app in native (non-JVM) form, this can't be called anything other than anti-competitive.
Don't use it unless you know what you're doing. Suggesting end-users use this, without briefing them on why it will crash [frequently], is irresponsible at best and does a disservice to the alternate browser movement.
What the hell kind of codename is that? Maybe an attempt at 'truth in advertising'?
That's exactly what it is. Minefield always refers to the current alpha-release of the upcoming "major" release.

Reporting an unsubstantiated rumor about someone and subsequently causing the stock to tank is not criminal, and probably not actionable (civil lawsuit) either.
What the SEC will be investigating is whether the person who created, propagated, or published this rumor stood to profit from it.
Investigating this possibility is well within the responsibilities of the SEC.
If that WEP AP is connected to the rest of your LAN, an attacker could likely (there are variables) use ARP spoofing to compromise the rest of your network while you're playing Mario.
Clearly a member of the Anti-MS army. I was only saying that the EFFECT OF THE PIXELATION was more noticeable because of the higher resolution of the map I linked to. I can't help that none of the other mapping services offer this type of imagery (the so-called "birds' eye view"), nor should I have to. MS have a superior service here, get over it.
After a quick visit to the dictionary, I have to admit I am rather disappointed that waitron is not a robotic cocktail waitress that I was previously unaware of.
Does that mean those of us in States like California who have payed e-waste fees are owed refunds if they were collected by said companies?
Every time we purchase an "electronic display", or device containing one, we pay a $6-10 fee. Not much per person, but I'm sure it adds up on the companies responsible for this.
I grew up in such an area, I'm familiar with the plight. I also worked in such places for long enough to move somewhere else, the difference is I didn't expect people to put up with what I did just because I couldn't find a better job.
I understand some people have families and such "keeping" them places, and that's a personal decision I respect. What I can't respect is people asking for a free pass on judgement because they made that choice.
I think largely what fuels this for me is the attitudes of people at the aforementioned call centers. Occasionally I come across someone at one of these companies who is apologetic, or even just in a good mood, and I try my absolute best to be as cordial as possible with these folks. Whether it's outbound spam/telemarketing, or customer service for the electric company.. 90% of these employees seem to be some of the most unhappy, rude, life-hating people on the planet. Don't take out your life decisions on me.
Perhaps I'm just insensitive but when people make a voluntary decision to work somewhere that is propagating that sort of low-grade evil, I feel they take the good (higher pay) with the bad (people who you broke the law to disturb late at night yelling at you.)
It seems a bit foolish or arrogant to me, to think you deserve anything less than being held responsible for what you're doing.
I don't think the "I was just doing my job, and it was the only place that paid well" thing holds any credence.

My first "WOOOOSH" post.

It doesn't matter what makes sense or not: these are the rules the GPL makes up.
Hrmph. That accurately sums up my take on the GPL/FSF, too!
You fail at understanding the internet.

Thank you for your contribution to the dialogue.

OK, it's time for us to start educating users and the media of when to properly use the monikers Java and JavaScript.
The article linked to from the summary says "Handles Java Well" in the subtitle, but then never mentions it again - only JavaScript.
These are NOT THE SAME.
This is, of course, CBSNews.. but I have seen the same mistake in so-called "tech" media lately, too.
What? Beat him with the whiskey?
I just accidentally my friend with the whiskey.
The whole whiskey?
So, in summary..
You accidentally the whole game?
If you've got a Mac it's one box you have to check.
Seems a bit disingenuous to mention this and not say that Microsoft has included RDP/terminal services for years, and is also "one checkbox."
I don't think spam should be any more illegal than billboards, flyers, or direct mailings.
While this makes you ignorant,
No, I do not "get it"
this makes you stupid.
This isn't complicated.
How much does it cost you to get ads in the mail? $0.
How much does it cost your ISP, and you, to receive spam? >$0.
Get it, now?
My goal to see a massive soviet tank rush into eastern Europe from a 1st person perspective might never be realized. :(
No, but given the current geopolitical climate you might get to experience it from a 3rd-person perspective, yet.
This appears to be related to why TEMPEST attacks work on monitors.
IANAL.
Everyone seems to be missing the point.

If X is being sold, X is not the customer, X is the product.
Our impressions, or eyeballs, are the product that Google sells to advertisers - their customers.
