This seems to be the tactic of the day. Apple does the same thing in their forums, delete any posts mentioning things they don't want mentioned on the grounds that it is a user to user technical support forum.
Yet you can post gushing praise of Apple without asking for help or offering to help and the moderators leave those fanboy posts alone.
This is a good reason to start an independent forum on any one of a number of forum hosting sites, preferably out of the reach of BT.
so the kid was physically assaulted with a deadly weapon, but the court decided to charge the perpetrators for stealing the victim's Runescape items?
I rather suspect when you dig through all the hype and mistranslation the perpetrators were indeed charged with and punished for the assault rather than the theft.
But you see, this is slash dot, and that interpretation would not be worth posting about.
The reason cell phones are not allowed on planes has nothing at all to do with air safety.
The FCC and cellphone industry demanded the FAA put that restriction in because a cell phone at 10000 feet (or higher) can light up more cell towers and generate more handoff requests than the system was ever designed to handle.
A wing will not exceed its critical angle of attack in a dive.
Only pulling out of a dive too quickly can cause that.
Why would airbus build control surfaces capable of ripping a plane apart? Would Boeing ever do that?
Quote: The Star-Telegram reported on this issue a year ago (Nov. 12, 2006) because of the potential that it could be related to the 2001 fatal crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in New York:
Five years after an American Airlines jet crashed in New York City and killed all 260 passengers and crew members, questions linger about whether the type of plane involved has flaws that could imperil other flights.
An investigation concluded that the crash of Flight 587, on Nov. 12, 2001, in a Belle Harbor neighborhood, was largely due to pilot error. The co-pilot made overly aggressive attempts to steer the Airbus A300 as it bounced from side to side in turbulence created by another jet that had taken off ahead of it.
The pilotâ(TM)s actions put so much stress on the aircraftâ(TM)s vertical stabilizer, or tail fin, that it was torn off, fatally crippling the wide-body jet, the National Transportation Safety Board said in its final report. For a pilot to break the airplaneâ(TM)s structure in flight was unprecedented, the NTSB said.
A law restricting political calls is almost guaranteed to be thrown out by the Supreme Court on the first challenge.

Working with Linux and OS X on a daily basis the defense, ``Linux is free'' doesn't hold water anymore due to the billions invested by IBM and others to make it stable.
Sorry, that's just plain wrong.
Linux was ROCK solid stable for a LOOOOONG time before IBM invested one thin dime into it, or put one kernel developer on the payroll.
It might not have been pretty, but it was stable since the Pleistocene.
Welcome to their industrial revolution. Now if only we could go back in time and blog about America's...
Why must everything be learned anew? When the rest of the world went thru this there was no knowledge of pollution and the lasting effects.
What's China's excuse? The history is there for them to see. The technology is readily available for them to use. (Hell we even buy much of it from them!).
The Chinese "industrial revolution" is a bit of a stretch, given that they went largely from an agrarian economy to silicon one in a single generation.
They didn't have to run antiquated smelters and un-scrubbed coal plants. They chose to.
LA or New york, on their worst smog days have less than a 100th of the pollutants in the air as does Peking on a daily basis.
The US HAS taken the lead on cleanup of polluted air and water, because we had some of the biggest messes in the western world (nothing to compare to Soviet block), but you NEVER see skys like Peking here.
And looking at the skyline in the TV coverage of the Olympics that is a real possibility. In spite of the cleanup the skys are STILL really thick over there, in spite of their massive efforts to clean them for the events.
Novell and RedHat have all but moved out of the paid boxed set linux distro, hoping to make money on the high-priced "Enterprise" versions (with paid support, which mostly means downloadable upgrades).
But when Opensuse and Fedora provide every bit as robust and reliable software and the high priced packages, (to say nothing of Ubuntu), who but the most risk-adverse bean counter will buy them?
With declining sales, who pays developers?
The paid boxed set had better make a strong comeback, and quickly.
PayPal is often (mostly??) used for things totally unrelated to Ebay. It was in business long before Ebay purchased them.
It has a lot of advantage when dealing with people you don't want to provide any permanent credentials, such as when buying something from an unknown individual or donating money to some organization, group, or charity.
E-Gold, on the other hand was, is, an always will be a scam.
Opera doesn't violate the license agreement by allowing you to run simultaneous copies of the program.
Try to understand the case at hand. Its not that hard. GLIDE's ONLY purpose is to allow you to run multiple bots by skipping the licence validation code. You are only allowed ONE player per license.

An engine consumes energy to produce motion.
Generators use motion to produce energy.
Terminology does matter.

Exceptional claims need exceptional proof.
So what if they do make such claims?
If all it takes is a kid with a gameboy to bring down the Airbus then their entire fleet should be grounded.
The aircraft systems design would be completely unsafe as there are far more powerful transmitters in any urban area.
No, in truth, Airbus planes would be raining from the skys if it were indeed susceptible to such interference. It would have never been certified.
But more important, why did the controls not respond to the pilots? Why would the computers be programmed to prevent a Stall in an *diving* aircraft?
Well maybe its time you invested in a recycled telephone number.....

"telemarketers must provide an obvious easy and quick way for consumers to opt-out of any call"
And where would the telemarketers make this opt out "of any call" known? In the very call they are providing the opt out?
I have to get up from the table to answer a call telling me I have the option of hanging up?
Thank you FTC!! You guys are a real piece of work!!
If you really think about this statement, I think you'll find it to be demonstrably false.
No he was spot on.
It is the speed variance that kills.
The ditch on that corner he failed to negotiate was only going zero miles per hour. The total variance was probably in excess of 70mph.
Same for that 2mph pedestrian he killed last week.
What we have here are consumers behaving like battered wives.
You are officially on notice that I am stealing that line.

To sat nothing of the interests of people who just want freedom in their everyday lives.
Easy. Don't allow traffic between any IPs behind the router, other than TO the router itself.
This is trivial with Iptables.
That would force users behind the router to connect via its external NIC to talk to each other, and that can be filtered easily as well.
You can't really spoof a machine on your own subnet.
It could just as well mean that the authors were delighted and found it commendable that the police did not make a fuss about an innocent site survey.
If you read it that way, English must be a second language for you. It was CLEARLY disparaging of the police, tauntingly so.
That you mistake it for gleeful respect suggests a very naive outlook.
Mod Parent up!!

Oh, thank heavens... So beach front property in Geneva is still a good investment then...?

Nonsense.
Its you do don't understand logic.
Glides ONLY function is to allow you to violate the copyright by allowing you to run bots on the SAME machine as on which you are playing.
The license allows ONE copy on ONE machine. Why are you willfully misrepresenting the facts?
Are you a lawyer?
Opera doesn't violate the license agreement by allowing you to run simultaneous copies of the program.
