Change accessing website, to accessing content and themed text adds hundreds of thousands of movie titles, music titles and TV titles to the list of prior art. So it should immediately be obvious where the idea was stolen from and it only be about for more than a century.
Never forget the benefits of blackmail. When a politicians child makes a call to their drug dealer, what better time to arrange a politically motivated arrest. Cooperate and they get a warning, fail and they get 15 years.
Monitoring all communications is about control. With digital transmissions, pattern matching for a series of words becomes possible and what you can do with that, well, leave that up to the imagination of your typical corporate sociopath.
There is a good reason why so many politicians have morally embarrassed themselves, the moral ambiguity which guarantees control likely ensured their funding. So what's wrong with corporations being able to monitor all digital communications for current and potential politicians including their families, that should be pretty bloody obvious.
Now to be realistic, whilst the dose from a highly radioactive particle might not be that high when averaged for the whole body, those cells in immediate proximity have their cancer potential probability enormously increased. Then those probabilities need to be adjusted for where the radioactive particle lands, whether it gets trapped in the lungs, swallowed or embedded in an open wound.
Just measuring emitted radiation is not as informative as defining the actual nature of the radioactive contamination.
The reality is a lawyer will agree with any opinion the client has to make as long as there is a pay check in it. Of course that agreement will be in politispeak that can be interpreted six ways from Sunday afterwards.
When it comes to Open Source software it most often will be only subject to community discussion, with only blatant egregious examples of copyright infringement being subject to legal review.
The community surrounding any open source project is going to be far more interested in keeping the project going than it splitting legal hairs and turning people off from the project, that pretty much has been done by tame junk journalists at the behest of closed source proprietary software houses looking to make open source software look bad.
A big earthquake in one region followed by a tsunami is not a doomsday unless you live that region. The choice really is how you want to play the odds. If you live in Napoli near Mount Vesuvius and you don't consider the ruins of Pompeii, well, one day it will happen.
So the decision with high risk regions is the balance of gain lifestyle, income, versus the balance of loss you and your family and how much of a gambler you are with such high risks on the table.
Let's be honest when the odds aren't looking that good, you can always take the safe option, the loss is a measure of lifestyle the gain might well be your life ie if there are much safer places to live what is the harm in moving to them.
Seriously both of you are nuts. You want to be prepared, seriously truly prepared. Then move to location that does not suffer major earthquakes, hurricanes or typhoons, tornadoes or floods. Once you move there establish good relations with your neighbours and, support local and regional emergency services.
All the guns in the world and all the emergency rations you can pile up, do you not one scrap of good when you slip and break you leg and no one comes to help.
Realistic emergency preparedness is a community thing not an individual thing. When you and your guns are buried under rubble who do you expect to dig you out. When you with your guns are clinging to a tree in a flood who is going to come with a boat to rescue you. When you and your guns are broken after being flung about by a horrendous storm who will search for and rescue you.
If you think you can prepare for emergencies on your own, than you are a bloody idiot. Forcing the community, the government to ensure it is capable of dealing with emergencies is the only way of increasing your odds of survival. Statistic for deaths between countries that prepare for emergencies and those that don't are tens, hundreds, even thousands to one.
So which ones provide universal health and what is their position on the political scale. I gave an example, you gave nothing but a list, here is a longer one for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states. You list would have had meaning if you stated their position on the political scale and whether or not they had universal health care but, it would seem when it comes to facts you need none at all.
Putz, income is not turnover, income is money you earn after deducting costs. You can have all the turnover in the world, just like a bunch of crappy US banks but you end up being worth nothing unless someone foots the bill for your losses.
Groupon has real severe limits in value, it can readily oversupply discount coupons with no guarantee of actually supplying product, enormous limitation of choice, it is nowhere in the supply and demand equation being able to supply what people want to get rid of not necessarily what people what to buy and, it has very little capital assets. All it brings to the IPO table is a bunch of client contacts and a list of customers, with zero long term guarantee of coupon sales, whilst being very vulnerable to cheaper coupon commissions.
By the way, is Goldman Sachs going to be involved in the IPO or has the stink of that particular financial firms track record, especially after it's foul odour had a pretty negative affect on any Facebook IPO.
How about, you do not spread freedom and democracy by promoting corruption in government. The only message that sends, is that's how the system works for our government, so that's how the system should work for your government, it's called capitalism, if you can afford you can buy any laws you want.
The political left right scale is a global measure. Centre right political parties in Canada, United Kingdom, France, Australia et al all support universal health care (they all also have political parties that are centre left). So by any definition the Democrats majority opposition to universal health care puts them just a little right of centre right. Forget all that Fox not-News and their Tea Party bullshit, it is nothing but bullshit.
As for Open Government according to Bradley Manning, they have imprisoned it, stripped it naked, asked it if is still alive every 5 minutes and, denied it a defence. All to preserve a plethora of public lies, literally thousands upon thousands of them. So how is open government doing, hmm, it is a can of air freshener over combined sewerage outlet and rubbish dump, still pretending it is something it is not.
Well as an advertising site, they could donate it to NASA (possibly also other space agencies as a joint effort) and sponsor the creation of a web site based all around information about this solar system and promote the peaceful exploration and development of the rest of our solar system. Thus attempt to start creating a better public image.
So would this be worth more to Oracle in terms of marketing than the sale price of the domain.
So basically you are saying it is a ok for the corporation to inflate it's profits by double screwing the customer, once for selling them something the corporation never had to sell and secondly by wasting the customers electricity and using up the life of their computer equipment. How come consumers never get to screw over corporations in the same manner.
With the continuing fall in the price and continuing increase in the quality of CGI animation, the independent studios will make a major comeback and that's with direct distribution, studio to consumer, all middle men eliminated.
The current CGI houses are in the best position to start producing direct to consumer content. They can even fiddle with the content investment model, selling micro investments in the particular piece of content to be distributed, now that will require some real regulatory monitoring.
Well if you want to teach children a better lesson, then the teaching the worthlessness of virtual goods makes more sense. So legal enforcement of virtual goods refunds make a lot more sense and immediately solve the problem.
What better lesson for children, see virtual goods absolutely pointless valueless crap, buy them and hand them back and nobody makes anything.
So don't reward bad behaviour, teach those corporate executive spoiled greedy little brats that virtual goods have no real value and teach children the same valuable lesson.
It's more to do with political game play. Right now the administration can propose all kinds of left aligned legislation knowing full well the Republicans in the lower house well knock it back if it has any possible conceivable impact upon corporate profits as reported to them by legions of lobbyists.
So a year and a half odd, off free political campaigning to make the Republicans look anti-people, a government of the corporation, by the corporation and for the corporation. Of course the administration might not want the legislation passed but quite simply the opposition will get the public blame.
Privacy rights would be great, as long as it includes mandatory notification of data held upon a regular basis, together with rights to correct errors or have private data deleted.
After having checked out online grocery pricing it would seem that cans have the edge on bottle in $/litre in similar sized containers. Once you get to 2 litre sizes $/litre gives the win to bottles.
So when it comes to lolly water, cheapest are the big bottles but if you want you lolly water more consistently bubbly go with cans bought in bulk. When it comes to recycling crushed cans make a more efficient return trip to the manufactures.
The most important criteria is being a member of the Ethisphere club, paying them money http://ethisphere.com/inside/ and then telling them how good you pretend to be. All paying pretending members then get together to decide which of them does a better job of pretending to be good.
So typical corporate 'stink tank' operation, an exercise in modern corporate PR=B$ exercise in marketing
The catch right there is that most P2P and bittorrent traffic is not time sensitive and could occur in off peak times.
As for shifting traffic from peak to off peak as they are fantasising, firstly it requires incredibly invasive data monitoring and secondly it forces the users devices to either continually cycle over for hours on end trying to send traffic or the ISP must build in enormous data storage capacity to hold data for hours on end.
Incumbent telecoms want to keep making huge profits from local and long distance calls and despise VOIP and secondly want to establish content distribution monopolies on their networks. The reality at one stage, when we made a call we had our very own copper line and could send and receive as much data as possible down it. With fibre optic multiple communications share the same line and they want to make that line as profitable as possible and they simply do that via gross and extreme overselling, selling far more bandwidth than they have access to. They want to legally sell a lie, they want to sell you bandwidth and by the delusion of modern legal shenanigans and government corruption deny you the use of what they have sold you because they never had it to sell. By law they should be forced to detail what bandwidth they actually have available with simultaneous transmission to all their customers, as part of the advertised bandwidth.
That points to the heart of the matter. Incompetent political appointees want computers to do their job for them so that they can take the credit.
Better algorithms to sort filter and collate the data, how stupid can they be. The bigger and more complex the database the easier it is to poison it with false data. Once that false data is in, it make all sorts of false connections, and more false connections based upon those.
Intelligence services do no need better algorithms, they need to dump contractors who make a living out of creating false data, they need to get rid of political appointees and most of all they need to quality manage data entering the system.
The insanity of working from the basis that everyone is guilty and, stupidly thinking that somehow computers will sort that planet full of evidence you have created with the idiot's assumption that everyone is guilty, well, it just really points to what kind of fuck up the DHS chief is as well as the DHS itself.
Did a quick check to amuse myself. Hmm, first 6 adds on every Bing search result are spam, pretty much guaranteed. Beyond that definitely more spam on Bing than on Google, oh wait, I am using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/optimizegoogle/ to filter out crappy sites (including ebay). Well since you seem to be doing M$ advertising, is there a similar addon for Bing on IE to Optimize Google on Firefox.
Back on topic, I guess Ballmer's uncle is going to be really really disappointed to hear no more Zune, their number one customer. Using you phone to listen to music and watch streaming video is neat and convenient, apart from battery life and data download limits http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phone-battery-life-charts/.
Always consider this, at least with nuclear power the pollution can be concentrated, with fossil fuels the pollution is distributed throughout the environment and us.
Nuclear whilst not an ideal solution, is the most effective means to get us off fossil fuels now in conjunction with non-polluting renewable sources. Most countries have adequate locations away from seismically active areas and population centres to store radioactively contaminated materials for extended periods of time.
Eventually we will also hit another hurdle that of the balance between resource use and energy use. High availability of energy reduces our need for resources, we can do more with less (think of large scale multi story industrial aquaponics, higher energy use for lighting but very low resource use). Effective recycling of materials can also consume a great deal of energy but eliminate the need to obtain fresh resources.
Obviously, who else would have lead wars of conquest, killing thousands to inflate their own ego and, there are thousands of years of history to demonstrate what happens when narcissists and sociopaths are in control.
Obviously in this day and age we can no longer afford to have them, starting wars, polluting the planet beyond all reason, exploiting everything and everyone to extinction.
Now we have the technology and expertise to detect their genetic cerebral defect and effectively isolate them so that they can not cause harm upon a massive scale.

The point is one has an impact on valuation and the other does not and, it is very deceitful to imply that revenue does.
