This will be the greatest push for genuine no fault insurance system. A few states have them, California tried but the industry got so deeply involved they gutted the bills and created a Frankensystem so convoluted and confusing that it actually costs more and makes the lawyers more money.
Actually the rules on sub-committees, for right or wrong require that any group that follows procedures gets a say in the process before a bill can be forwarded to the floor for voting. This requirement generally exists to keep legislators from ramrodding a bill through to vote without the public getting any chance to have a say, but in this case, so-called interested party groups sponsored by the tech companies keep surfacing and demanding their $.02 worth and the time to comment. It is a filibuster forced by the 'interested' parties rather than the congress critters themselves. This kind of thing is a poster child for the initiative process, and really should be directed at the federal level rather than rely on a state by state, tooth and nail fight.
There are certain rules. Data encryption both in storage and in flight are a requirement. There are also reporting time requirements for security breaches as well as periodic auditing requirements, but essentially you are correct. You just have to be able to show that you have a plan and a set of rules in place to deal with possible failures and that you have taken basic steps to ensure the security of the data.
Why is he required to give a specific reason ? Either give your authorization a withhold it, and do not volunteer a specific reason for or against the use. I personally don't see a reason why not IF the storage vendor can qualify as HIPAA complaint it seems like a decent idea, but I can see where the possibility of leaked data can have a negative impact on continued health care coverage as well as the impact on future coverage in both healthcare and life insurance, not to mention employment issues.
I just got a new Arris cable modem in the mail from TWC. Has a dual band wireless internal network @2.5 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz, and a 2.5 Ghz outward facing wireless network. I assume they are aiming at a Comcast/Xfinity style network. During the self install setup I disabled all the wireless stuff, and changed the internal address to what fit my needs, and then followed the online activation procedures using the mac address and serial number which worked flawlessly. Once configured I can no longer access the external facing wireless management tools but the internal ones stayed inactive. I'm not a 'wireless' customer according to TWC, I run an internal wireless LAN which is locked to outside access and managed from internal addresses only. I can still see the internal facing tools and they've not been activated. I assigned a new login and password to the cable modem which is different from my router. I periodically check and expect at some point TWC or Charter or whomever will want their external network online for their wireless customers use similar to the xfinity users ability use that network with a password that works anywhere there is one of their modems. Glad I took advantage of the 'free' upgrade when I did, it even included free shipping back of the elderly equipment we were on.
I get what you mean regarding the interpretation of icons or hieroglyphics and maybe I was unclear in my point, that when I send a curly haired little winkie guy, you might receive a chocolate ice cream cone, because the underlying code was not standard, not so much as the conceptual difference which you correctly outlined.
While Latin remained the main written language of the Roman Empire, Greek came to be the language spoken by the well-educated elite, as most of the literature studied by Romans was written in Greek. In the eastern half of the Roman Empire, which later became the Byzantine Empire, Latin was never able to replace Greek, and after the death of Justinian, Greek became the official language of the Byzantine government. The expansion of the Roman Empire spread Latin throughout Europe, and Vulgar Latin evolved into dialects in different locations, gradually shifting into many distinct Romance languages. http://www.crystalinks.com/rom...
The idea of using emoji's or modern ascii art is distasteful enough, but the reality that there aren't really standards and what you send might not be what is received only make communication more difficult. Kind of like sending smoke signals on a really windy day, or color coding things when 1/4th of the recipients are color blind. Is this really where things are going, like in Blade Runner, where the people on the street speak slang only and rest of the people speak a totally different language, or maybe the comparison between Greek and Latin.
Not all of them. The gaming store in my area uses a physical board and the group I've belonged to for 20+ years has never picked up anybody via social media, but requires a recommendation from an existing player and an interview before we consider letting someone join us. There are 12 of us now, 3 couples, and the rest singles of varying ages. We have a private web forum for player/game documentation. Email, text and/or a phone tree works just as well and is MUCH less intrusive. One a side note our neighborhood HAD a FB page but complaints about privacy caused them to switch to an email letter and privately managed web page. Just because some people don't care who tracks them means others don't.
I have it on good authority that Trumps' hair is actually a Bio-Engineered organism that acts both as a self defense system and as a satellite reception system allowing him to send and receive signals from low earth orbit satellites. In the event of a physical attack the hair piece will intercept and deflect bullets up to.50. It is an unverified rumor that Trump will name his hair piece as his running mate and potential Vice President.
So Apple which off-shores billions to avoid taxes, uses a majority of Chinese made parts and assembles in Mexico is a US company. Not to mention runs a proprietary OS and won't share the code so it can be audited. There is a reason the NSA prefers BSD, and rightfully chooses android over a closed OS, they can and do compile it themselves and check every line of code. I would trust all South Korean made hardware long before I would trust a hodgepodge of Chinese manufactured parts gathered and assembled in a lowest bidder fashion in several untrusted and known corrupt marketplaces, China and Mexico for example.
As frequent Meta-Modder and one who gets mod points sometimes twice times a week some strange things have occurred. I am not saying that the rants about a conspiracy are true but I have modded on a thread and seen the results melt away in a matter of minutes. Perhaps some deeper investigation into these matter IS warranted. I hardly think that now with the overall traffic at a low point in this sites history, I know I've been here a long time, that comment modding doesn't generally occur that rapidly.
As a side note why does your ID and comment NOT note your status as an editor ?
But Microsoft did NOT refuse to sell the object. The 'sold' the object at the posted 'zero $$$' cost to some number of customers, discovered the error and then took the object back and began reselling at the new posted price. The only difference here is the object is not tangible but virtual and the license is for use not ownership. The original statute on theft required deprivation of said 'property' from the owner, and corporations got around that somehow implying that duplicating a digital item fit that definition, now they are working the other side of the street.
A tangible asset mismarked on the shelves at a physical store would except if a few conditions be required to be sold at the lower of the 2 prices. Not sure how that applies to virtual assets sold in an online market place.
Quoting California B&P Code, 12024.2.
(a) It is unlawful for any person, at the time of sale of a commodity, to do any of the following:
(1) Charge an amount greater than the price, or to compute an amount greater than a true extension of a price per unit, that is then advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted for that commodity.
(2) Charge an amount greater than the lowest price posted on the commodity itself or on a shelf tag that corresponds to the commodity, notwithstanding any limitation of the time period for which the posted price is in effect. (b) A violation of this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not exceeding one year, or by both, if the violation is willful or grossly negligent, or when the overcharge is more than one dollar ($1).
(c) A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars ($100) when the overcharge is one dollar ($1) or less.
(d) As used in subdivisions (b) and (c), "overcharge" means the amount by which the charge for a commodity exceeds a price that is advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted to that consumer for that commodity at the time of sale.
(e) Except as provided in subdivision (f), for purposes of this section, when more than one price for the same commodity is advertised, posted, marked, displayed, or quoted, the person offering the commodity for sale shall charge the lowest of those prices.
(f) Pricing may be subject to a condition of sale, such as membership in a retailer-sponsored club, the purchase of a minimum quantity, or the purchase of multiples of the same item, provided that the condition is conspicuously posted in the same location as the price.
You are correct in function. Even though the state law say you have to carry an ID at all times, Federal laws overrides the state but they are sticklers and very much more likely to hassle you if you don't have some sort of ID on you. While in California, the cops are much more forgiving and generally will just run your name. You are sadly 100% correct about being brown here, expect to get stopped randomly under one pretext or another to just ID you. I've friends here who will insist that I drive because of the hassles.
That is good to hear. In the US it differs by state. Here in Arizona, you have to have some form of ID on you at all times, to present to the cops should they stop you and require it, but they don't really care what it is, state ID card, an expired drivers license from out of state, a passport, or even just a social security card, but in California, you just have to ID yourself if required so they can run a 'check', but if they are not satisfied they can and will run you in for additional checks. They of course need some basic legal pretense to stop you but that is trivial to manufacture.
Is there an existing mandatory EU ID card ? or would this be a new initiative in itself ? I also don't see how knowing who wrote the review would ensure a lack or bias or manipulation.
Other than the fact that you probably could not take your winch and counterweight system with you when you sold and moved on I agree. If the use of these was regulated you could possibly get multiple individuals out and down before the device lost charge. Excepting of course My 600LB descent (TM) reality show.
What about the concept of having one of these as an emergency evacuation route from the 56th floor of a sky scraper. Granted you'd have to be well off to afford one but you'd not need a pilots license, or the ability to base jump, or depend on a 3 minute elevator that might possibly not be in service. I've had to flee the 25th floor of a 40 floor building on foot in emergency lighting at night during a fire following an earth quake. Not a fun experience by any stretch of the imagination. Luckily I was young, in good shape, and not burdened by having any family or handicapped friends to see after.
I think maybe the concept of rape is straight forward, but the legal definition is far from it and can be quite complicated given some gender 'confusion', again in the eyes of the law and in court.
Under the both Bush's admins the petro-chem industry was part of the White House staff, under the Obama admin Hollywood wannabe's held reign, so I guess it must be Silicon Valley's turn, should Hillary make it that far. Not sure who Trump would have, the folks that get weekend passes from mental institutions ?
Thanks, I'm on vacation this week and I guess it was the first time I really looked at it. The next sound you hear will be me pulling my head from my arse.
Sat TV is quite acceptable and generally accessible everywhere, but internet via satellite is very expensive and the inherent delays suck. Hughesnet offers speeds up to 5Mbps down and 1 Mbps up for a mere $79.00 a month and tops out at 15Mbps download. Hardly what I'd call acceptable.
