I disagree. A judge is not a political figure, his sole purpose is to objectively "weigh" the facts presented in a case in order to determine its truth value. His personal convictions don't add into it...
I don't know about the particular judge(s) involved with this story, but I know in my area, judges are elected to office and are associated with a political party. By either account this makes them political figures.
And personal convictions DO play a role...how many times do we hear about activist judges in the news?
According to their website (google cache link while it works), they did the standard 110% of the difference that many stores do these days. I know I've priced matched a few items over the years and I think I always got the difference. 10% of the difference usually only amounted to a buck or two but it was still less.
Did you ever try going to BB and purchasing one of their loss leaders? In my experience it's been the opposite. CC would have the item but BB never would.
How can it be defined as being ripped off if Microsoft benefits from it? To you and I anything over $1.98 is probably going to be considered too much to pay for a license to this patent. But if Microsoft can settle/license it for a million or two, which to them is about the same as what $1.98 is to us, AND undermine the competition at the same time, they they are getting some benefit out of the money the are spending. It's only a rip off if they cough up the money but don't get anything in return, and they probably couldn't undermine Linux to the same degree with marketing and PR alone using the same money.
Football doesn't require you to know where the magic yellow line is at to understand what's happening. The refs seem to be able to do it as well as the 22 players on the field or more on the sidelines. It's there on screen is the first down markers aren't always visible. If the shot is zoomed in on the play, a ref's standing in front of the marker, etc you can't visually see where the first down point is at.
I don't actively seek out actors that are part of Scientology, but if I know that they are then I usually try to avoid it. I can't stand any of Tom Cruise's recent work. Ditto for John Travola but I do admit I've seen a few more of his. Battlefield Earth was watched just to see how horrible it was (it is) as well as Face/Off and Punisher just to see him killed in the movie. While it's not a movie, I use to watch JAG on TV when it was on but once I discovered Catherine Bell was into Scientology, she didn't look nearly as soft on the eyes.
I'm in pretty much the same boat with my home ssh server, except I would get 20-30 attempts an hour. Occasionally I would sift through some of the attempts just to see what they were trying to guess as usernames. Root and admin were usual attempts, but I would also see oracle, sa, mysql, etc as well as just random first names like John, Mary, Bob, etc. I eventually grew tired of it just filling up my log files so I switched to a non-standard port and haven't seen an attempt since.
I would guess that it's better then directly venting outside air in and exhausting inside air out due to humidity levels. The inside air is already conditioned, but it has unwanted head. By mixing it with controlled amounts of outside air you can lower the temperature without impacting humidity as much. If you were to bring in outside air directly, you'd have to dehumidify it as well.
When I said it was something he wasn't allowed to do, "he" was referring to the officer. Re-reading what I wrote I see I phrased it poorly and made it seem like I was referring to the man arrested.
I admit the part about the cop arresting him for doing nothing wrong is a bit perplexing, but I'm sure the outcome will be a positive one. To think, that guy could have avoided all the hassle, all the wasted time and money, just buy opening the plastic Circuit City bag and showing the receipt.
If you would have taken a few minutes to read the full account on Michael Righi's blog, you would have seen that he wasn't arrested for not showing what was in the bag, but for "obstructing official business". Righi just refused to give the police officer his license, something that Ohio code specifically says he's not allowed to do.
You would have also seen this: I understand that my day would have gone a lot smoother if I had agreed to let loss prevention inspect my bag. I understand that my day would have gone a lot smoother if I had agreed to hand over my driver's license when asked by Officer Arroyo. However, I am not interested in living my life smoothly. I am interested in living my life on strong principles and standing up for my rights as a consumer, a U.S. citizen and a human being. Allowing stores to inspect our bags at will might seem like a trivial matter, but it creates an atmosphere of obedience which is a dangerous thing. Allowing police officers to see our papers at will might seem like a trivial matter, but it creates a fear-of-authority atmosphere which can be all too easily abused.
The value of your stocks may have gone down, but if you haven't sold them you've lost nothing. If they are worth more than when you bought them but less than they were a year ago, you've made a profit.
So if I haven't sold them and they went down, I haven't lost anything, so how exactly have I made a profit if they are still worth more then when I bought them? Wouldn't I have to sell them in order to make a profit?
Yeah, because Joe The Plumber needs to record a 3 hour epic HD movie?
No, Joe the Plumber doesn't need to record a 3 hour epic HD movie. But he might want to keep 3 hours worth of memories of his kids growing up. Or his wedding. Or a family vacation. Or some combination of thousands of other life events.
So your idea is to mail back the drive? Not only do you risk damaging the drive in transport or worse losing it all together, but it becomes even easier to inspect upon entering the company as you aren't even there to object. You'd be far better off just copying it to a flash drive and crossing over the border with it that way.
The developers are still in charge at Google (being a young company)
Google's was born Sept 4th, 2008, making them over 10 years old. They have over 10,000 employees worldwide. They have a market cap of $137 billion. They had revenues of $16.5 billion last year. None of these things indicate that they are a "young" company. While much of management might have once been some type of a developer, saying developers are still in charge is just silly.
Not everyone works for a company with hundreds of people that already has an fleet of network admins. Sometimes you get put into a role that you have no experience in because you have the available time, expressed a desire previously, or maybe you just happened to be walking by an open door when the PHB thought "we need a network admin".
Personally, if person X wants to pay person Y $1.50 to copy his (bought and paid for) "Little Mermaid" DVD so that the kids don't ruin the original, why shouldn't he be able to?
Obviously because Company D(isney) doesn't get any of that $1.50. Company D would rather you purchase additional copies of "Little Mermaid" at full MSRP.
So your upset with a company's fraudulent sales practices, selling used or at least not new equipment, but you advocate complaining and keeping said equipment while not paying for it. Nice ethics.
It's an extremely efficient compression algorithm. The only downside is that it's one way so there is no decompression algorithm to go with it. It's a bit like WOM (Write Only Memory).
Sure I've copied/reused code. But when I do I usually make sure I understand what it does and works correctly. I also don't work for a mega corporation that has entire brigades of lawyers to get paid to look at these very things. Google apparently didn't understand what it meant nor had any of the many lawyers who get paid to look at these types of things actually look at it.
They didn't steal anything. You give them permission when you accept the license agreement and you upload something. If you don't want them to "steal" whatever, don't use their software and/or don't upload anything.

Pfft. Anyone with security clearance over Top Secret knows that Beagle made it successfully and recorded 13 seconds of video before being destroyed. Has NASA's probes ever found aliens? I think not.

Even worse, he didn't even see if his code would compile (preview) before checking in (submitting) his work. Tisk tisk tisk.

Do you know who all are members of the CoS? Lack of money isn't something that they are going to be too worried about.
