There are still too many sites that only properly work on IE, business sites that have been clubbed into only working with IE. Once MS has decided that your OS is in their extended, security only, support phase you don't get the new "features" that the IE only sites add on or move to and the proverbial gun to your head is to upgrade the whole OS over one piece of software that should have been broken out into a separate division (open source or not) a long time ago.
personally I want to see taxes get slashed accross the board and spending at a federal level cut by a drastic number as well. Let the people and states keep their money
You do realize that states that think this way tend to take more from the federal government than they send.
You don't always have a choice. If a document is required and specified to be uploaded in a Microsoft format (and generally this is the case because only geeks believe there's still a fight regarding which format to use, even though the world's decided on doc/docx years ago and fucking MOVED ON), you have to submit in said format.
At some point people have to understand that the world doesn't revolve around them. Sometimes they need to just use what other people use to promote maximum communication. It doesn't matter what the ideal is - it matters what the practicality is. Otherwise you're just manufacturing stress and effort when there doesn't need to be any.
The world decided that IE was the only browser that mattered years ago, too. Times change.
Not exactly true; there are other factors.
Our son was born very premature, 2 lbs 12 oz. You could hold him in one hand. (He is a big strapping 13 year old now)
They are finding that there is a higher rate of autism in preemies compared to normal births. 'Decades' ago, there is a good chance he would not have survived, thus there is a higher incident of autism simply because preemies are surviving instead of dying.
Thank you for taking the time to point this out. I don't think this is properly taken into consideration.
Furthermore, the reality is that litigated patents are already reviewed by a panel of experts: the expert witnesses called by the parties.
Which is one of the problems with patents per TA, patents are not reviewed prior to rubber stamping them which leads to patent trolling and settling for those who cannot afford to defend themselves against bogus violations claims. Proper review coming in the door would reduce the problems.
They spent an hour minus station break time to do it too. I had a lengthy discussion with some friends about copyright and patents and neither of them even knew it started in the Constitution. Most ordinary people don't know and don't care how much this costs them.
My company uses thin clients exclusively in the office. The users have their same desktop no matter where they log in from. Dead workstations are simply replaced with a similar machine, no need to reconfigure and install software. And I can provide support remotely over 80% of the time.
Our biggest problems are that software companies don't even think about providing support to this environment. The typical support script is, "we don't provide support for your setup" and convincing script support monkeys that we don't actually log into the server at the server (and doing so requires moving cables and monitors which a KVM would fix, but so far I don't have one...)
"The amount taken from your paycheck has absolutely no effect on the total you have to pay for the year."
And that's the problem - if they're going to just TAKE it from me without permission - just take out what I owe, and LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.
Thankfully, I've been able to sustain myself on less than 8,000 a year (below poverty,) so I don't have to file, and if I filed now for back taxes, they'd likely owe me tons of money.
Probably not. You might think you are smart by doing this, but really $8k per year? How much have you lost in standard of living by hiding out in the Ozarks? Also: "tons of money". Any "tons of money" refund claims would likely be denied due to the fact that you have not timely filed your returns.
You know, I work with people who don't want the government in their lives. Funny thing is my main job is a government job. So the government is already in their lives. One guy takes time off so he can get his full amount of Social Security (read government money) and pension from his previous government job. You sound a lot like that guy.
The appropriate charge would be capital contempt of court, with expedited sentencing and a fast tracked execution. Firing squad is a little hard to justify in the US, but maybe if the bailiff shouted "he's coming right for us!" before shooting they could get around the details.
The creators of South Park need your address so they can send their C&D letter for misappropriation of their Intelletcual Property, specifically the phrase, "he's coming right for us!". This phrase is only to be used by characters on the show to justify blowing the crap out of innocent rabbits and deer with fully automated firearms.
But they still have the exclusive right to legally distribute it.
The statute makes no distinction between "the exclusive right to legally distribute it" and "the exclusive right to distribute it". If you're going to read something like that into the statute, you're going to need some serious citations.
What is the difference between, the statuatory (we are talking about the written statute) right to exclusive distribution and the right to legally distribute? The fact that it's a statute means legal distribution. If it weren't in the statute there would be no legal right to distribute. There is no need to write the word "legal" into the statute. The word "legally" is explicit.
NYCL did not actually write the brief, it is not he who is making that argument. Also, as is argued in the brief, they do make an argument that since you cannot sue for damages to others (established by precedent) the RIAA cannot reasonably expect to collect for the damages done by others.
Facebook is for attention whores who want other people to know details about their lives. Its fucking retarded to talk about privacy when the whole point is giving out your information.
Exactly. Somebody might say "Don't blame the tool," but I say this particular tool seems to be designed to promote cretinous behavior. Take the "poke" feature, for example. For fuck sake.
Facebook isn't the "tool". It's usually the user that's the tool. Well maybe Facebook is the tool: "poke". Meh.
Theres a "Remove Tag" button under your pictures in face book. Click it and the tag is removed.
Also you can comment on your friends photos, make a brief explanation at the bottom. It will make the ribbing worse, but her future employment with the AA won't be hampered.
I'm sorry is all that too easy? Lets ban cameras from places with alcohol or facebook that'll do it.
The article clearly states that the information - six copies of the photo - remain in Facebook's system forever. But this being/. you didn't read TFA.
It depends on the job. I worked at a gun range and we were allowed a beer over lunch, but no one wanted to risk the lawsuit if something happened after lunch. My boss told me specifically that one beer was allowed, but highly discouraged.
If you have a CDL, no drinks for eight hours before your shift.

He doesn't actually "own" the patent anymore, he sold it and so it was litigated by the new owner.

Because truth is an absolute defense against libel.
Only in the United States. It's backwards in many European countries.
Woosh! The question is on who?

Google uses on Mobo 12v batteries.
Of course that would mean switching out all of the current servers.
They tunneled into the mountain, they did not place it on top of the roof.
And for people that want to drive their car and not sink through 4 feet of snow - oh and the ones that don't want their roofs to fall in on them.
The judge himself restated that "making available" was not the same as "distribution.
