I wouldn't make a blanket statement that "it's no longer socially acceptable to pay just what's legal". I think you'll find for the Republican party in general that it's not only socially acceptable, it should be mandated. Warren Buffet has been pretty vocal about how it's not right that he pays less in taxes than his secretary and the response from the Republican controlled Congress has been "you are welcome to pay more", not "Hey you're right, lets fix that".
My thoughts would be Apple isn't contributing enough to the Republicans so they decided to make them a scapegoat.
He is entitled to his opinion, just as everyone here is entitled to their opinion and their opinion is they don't want to support his views. How is that hard to understand? The McCarthy style witch hunt has been an ongoing thing against gay/lesbian/transgendered individuals for a very long time and all in the name of christianity.
Frankly the Department of Homeland Security had no business getting involved nor had they any business going outside of this country to make arrests. What part of Homeland applies to foreign countries? Seriously, this has always been handled by the FBI in the past, what changed and why?
Maybe I'm confused but isn't OS X simply Apple's version of Linux? I realize this is a simplistic view but I don't see why they wouldn't be able to create a package for Linux.
Thanks for pulling in the additional information. I do find the comment "The order of magnitude of these differences is so minute, in fact, that manufacturing equipment is incapable of manipulating or replicating them." to be very hard to believe. If they can detect it then the manufacturing process can detect it too.
If they charged purely on the basis of potential legal problems the charges would be a lot more. Think of this as an insurance policy... You pay $5 per month to make sure they don't enable the "privacy bit".
I agree with you and I have not had the time to read every comment but has anyone considered that this ruling now means anyone that travels across a state line can now be regulated as interstate commerce?
It is a close question but ultimately the Court concludes that the Regenexx Procedure is subject to FDA enforcement because it constitutes a “drug” and because a drug that has been shipped in interstate commerce is used in the solution through which the cultured stem cells are administered to patients.
...your stem cells are a drug that has been shipped in interstate commerce. This had better be overturned or there could be taxes for everyone traveling out of state.
I wonder how this affects blood drives. If the occasional stem cell gets inadvertently transferred in the blood to another person does that constitute dispensing a drug without a license?
I'm sure there have been many different editors discussed but for just pure HTML editing I like HTML-Kit. There are several listed here http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-html-editor.htm#htmlkit but I've found it very easy to use plus you can see what your code will look like in different browsers. If he wants to do C# programming though I would recommend Microsoft's Visual Web Studio.
-- Fox claims that giving viewers the ability to skip commercials on recorded television shows demonstrates the "clear goal of violating copyrights and destroying the fundamental underpinnings of the broadcast television ecosystem."
So is Fox then claiming it owns the copyrights of the commercials it broadcasts?
That's a good answer but could be slightly tweaked in the second paragraph. Its not "in practice", its controlled by the state. For instance in Kansas the entire electoral vote goes to the popular majority selection but other states base the number of votes on the percentage of the whole. If the Republicans with 65% of the vote then 65% (rounded up) of the electoral votes go to the Republican candidate.
I agree. You can copyright a derivative work of the language but not the language itself. For instance, you can copyright a book written in English but not the English language.
I picked up a small S-clip binder similar to a D-Ring and clip it onto the bag I'm carrying at the time. Its noisy but it doesn't tear a hole in my pocket. I also pare the keys down to the bare minimum, if you need 3 keys for the girlfriend's place that must be a bad neighborhood.
By definition it will be in the government domain, which is kind of like the public domain except the government owns it. According to the rules of government domain there can be no copyright on the document, its freely available to all.
However, it will be in the government domain once its published, not before.
I've got a couple of TRS-80 Model I Level II's in the basement. Its been awhile but they still work... Hey, 16K of RAM, who would ever need more? Floppy drives? We don't need no stinking floppy drives, we have cassette tape!
I used to have some old CP/M machines that were being thrown out at work but I gave those away when I moved from Virginia to Germany in 93.
The last base I was stationed at was running a Series 1 processor. Coded in IBM 360 assembly language and cross compiled for the Series 1. I left the service in 2002 and as far as I know its still running. It was originally developed and installed in the early 60's by IBM.
Not really, they don't need to be destroyed unless the drive failed. Once a drive is classified it retains that level of classification until declassified or destroyed. They probably reused the drives in the same or a similarly classified machine.
I do beg to differ, this is just as much a story as the missing 18 minutes from the Nixon Watergate tapes. Something is being hidden from public knowledge, although by public knowledge in this case I mean the courts. There is no reason to delete the data and destroy the information except to hide it. After all, as they keep telling us, if you have nothing to hide then there's no reason to fear the discovery is there?
The NSA doesn't require hard drive disposal, they just test and approve the methods of destruction. As an active duty member of the Air Force I used many of their approved methods to destroy classified dives.
I'd have to agree. Unless they start stuffing their religion down my throat I could care less how they defend it. Asking a question like this only distracts them from the real questions for today... Global warming for instance...or "How will you save Social Security now that the current government has spent most of that money?"
My company writes all of the logs we don't want altered to the database, then uses Crystal Reports to pull the data out for display. For our clients that have purchased Crystal to write their own custom reports they access the tables via a read only database login so there's no issue of altering the data. We also maintain a change history of all table edits and keep track of the locations in the system a user touches for HIPPA reporting.
If you want to make sure they logs are read only I'd say you need to use a similar route.

I haven't seen it, and, frankly, I don't even care what's in it. But if it provokes this kind of reaction from religious fanatics, it's done right.
I'm sorry... I must have misinterpreted your comment. "it's done right" So you condone the violence?

Personally I think its worth it.
