I personally hate watching fireworks on TV. They always dub some annoying song over top of the show...
The Olympics are no different. Except that instead of annoying music it's annoying announcers trying to spew forth "analysis" of everything that's happening in the ceremony. It gets even worse when the analysis includes political drivel.
"There's huge significance in the 56 kids handing off the Chinese flag to the soldiers. It shows that their future is being secured by the state blah blah blah."
Funny. I thought the games were suppose to be about something far removed from anything having to do with the military.
So add the issuing server to the list of authoritative CAs. Only do this if you have secure control of the machine but it gets rid of the whole need to add an exception.
One thing that I've learned though is you can not rely on a hosting company's backup to necessarily be timely, reliable, and/or convenient. If you want to backup multiple times during the day, have multiple generations of backups, be able to very quickly restore if need be, all can make the hosting backup unattractive. I'm not saying yours is that way, just with some of the hosting companies I've dealt with in the past.
This also doesn't take into consideration the best-practice of having your backups off-site for disaster recovery. It doesn't help very much to have your backup server/drive/whatever 1U down in the rack when the building collapses, has a fire, floods, etc destroying everything in it.
Depends on how the "trade secret" was obtained. With trade secrets, the foruma, source, recipie, etc is kept an internal secret. It can remain that way indefinitely. The downside is that while there are legal protections that prevent an insider from selling it to the competition, if someone discovers the secret independently then they can use it.
To give a company protection they are allowed to patent the "secret". This gives the company exclusive rights to use and/or license it to others. However it does not remain a secret anymore. It's only protected for a limited period of time.
I don't know with Glide if/how a secret was obtained if at all. If the authors were a former employee of Blizzard and they used their knowledge to create Glide, then that might fall in the trade secret category. If they have no connection and just reverse engineered a program, protocol, etc, then Blizzard is SOL on the trade secret route.
Actually the charges are specifically NOT bribery. Bribery requires proof of specific quid pro quo. In other words, they have to have hard evidence that Tubes Stevens received some type of compensation in order to vote a particular way for instance. They don't have that, or more likely they don't want to dig hard enough or deep enough to find such evidence as what they have likely will be enough to essentially end his career.
He also isn't charged with corruption specifically either. He's being charged with lying to investigators. That's it. At least for now.

Interestingly enough, around the same number of people that don't approve of the DNC list also approve of the job the yahoos in Washington are doing. It's hard to imagine how anyone can think the Legislative and Executive branch are doing a good job. The economy is in the shitter. Absolutely no progress has been made in Iraq & Afghanistan in..well..forever. Iran is getting an itchy trigger finger. Gas is at an all time high. The national deficit is large enough that my grandkid's grandkids are still going to be paying it off...and that is only if we stop spending now. And pretty much everyone in Washington doesn't seem to have a problem with the erosion of Amendments 1-10 of the constitution. And yet 20-30% of people somehow think everything is just peachy and give a big thumbs up. It just means that more then an insignificant number of people are completely clueless, don't understand how to comprehend a survey question, and/or answer truthfully.
The family gets closure because they finally can lay their daughter/sister/mother/whatever to rest. The state doesn't have to pay for countless appeal after appeal, the case having to be retried due to some technicality, etc. Reiser gets a lesser sentence.
While you may or may not be happy with the outcome, everyone gets what they wanted or needed under the circumstances.
I'm sure there is. What I think a lot of slashdotters don't seem to realize is a "contract" can take many forms, both written and non-written. An e-mail chain can be considered a written contract, for example, if enough information is contained in aggregate.
If you are dealing with a "billion" dollar product and are relying on an e-mail as your sole legally binding contract, you should fire your lawyer. It may be fine to start work, get the ball rolling, etc until the actual contracts or agreements are signed, but anything significant should have a hard copy, signed with an actual pen agreement.
The small ISPs were the ones that were allowing terrorists to upload child pornography via spam and phishing messages. I think that should be enough to get them shut down now.
Poor planning on their part doesn't make it an emergency on your part. Poor planning on their part makes a problem that Sandvine's CEO wants to sell a "solution" to fix the problem.
It's quite common. My wife had 3 kids within 22 months of each other. They don't recommend becoming pregnant sooner then 3 months after having a kid but 10 months is plenty of time to get pregnant.
In 2006 I was taking a business trip to Orlando for a training seminar. It's about 1.5 hours before take off and I'm getting ready to go through the security. I take out my boarding pass as well as my license and I realize that my license is not in my wallet. I had already checked my luggage, without showing ID mind you, and I'm starting to panic that I won't get through security. As ask the screener if there is any chance I can even board the plane without the license thinking that I might be able to get the DMV to reprint a license and my wife FedEx to me on my trip. The screener said if the airline approves it that I could. The airline did approve it without even batting an eyelash as I was already checked in. Not sure what the logic in that was. The screener did say though that I could have problems with my connections as well as Orlando's airport likely wouldn't be as accommodating on the way back.
Thankfully my wife was able to find and get me my license in time as renting a car was definitely not going to happen without a wallet.
While it's funny picturing that, those gamers in wizard robes, facepaint, wearing viking helmets on horseback storming the Capital will soon also be storming voting booths. It may not be this year, or next year, but soon the "internet generation" or whatever todays teens are called soon will be able to express their opinions at the poles.
I remember several local BBSes that used RIP graphics which were vector based images. You had to use RIPTerm or another compatible comm program, and they weren't images in the same sense as a jpg or gif, but I definitely remember clicking on rip "images" to navigate around the system.

they're living in an area where there's likely to be local ordinances against blatantly jarring or modern features on houses.
Such ordinances are illegal if they are only in place for aesthetic reasons. Local government or homeowner associations can't restrict placement if it's exclusive use property, doesn't present a safety concern, and doesn't alter the historic value of the property. The last one might be an issue here but I would be very surprised if it did. The only other exception is that if two locations are suitable to receive the signal, one of which is less obtrusive then the other, it can be required to use the less obtrusive location IF it's placement does not increase the cost of installation. So in other words, if the middle of the front yard or the middle of the back yard behind the house are the only two locations, then the backyard could be required to be used so it's out of sight from the front of the house. However I don't know how many people really wouldn't go with the less obtrusive, cheaper option anyways so it's almost a moot point anyways.

How do we know we can trust Google with your bookmarks? If you have "secure" bookmarks, you probably shouldn't be using a service like this.

I don't know how I did it either, but they never asked for any ID at the check in counter. I did have an eTicket and they took a look at that.

You don't want to consent, fine. You don't fly. Flying isn't a guaranteed right and you are more then welcome to drive.

So hopefully your mail, ftp, or any other type of server that doesn't serve up HTTP doesn't change IP addresses. Otherwise your screwed.
But then again, you are screwing with a standard and the whole reason why DNS has a TTL...
