Google is a multibillion dollar corporation and as such, is expected to exercise a modicum of responsibility when it exercises the powers those multi billions of dollars grants them.
Under the law, Google should be held to the same standard as everyone else. But then again, I am an American and do not think there should be various classes of laws that apply to different groups of people. We should all be treated equally under the law.
Google should be treated the same as when I war drive.
As a side note to your post, most people don't know that Congressionalism was the Connecticut state religion at the time of the Danbury Baptists' letter to Jefferson. Their concern was that Congressionalism might become the national religion. Jefferson was reassuring them that the federal government could not establish a national religion.
That is the typical launch configuration. It is elevated so that when it is released, it does not drag the ground due to topography and lateral winds. Obviously the winds were too high. I suspect there was a malfunction, because I doubt anyone would think it would be a good idea to launch in winds that high. BTW, the balloon is only partially inflated because as it rises, the balloon envelope expands. (Due to lower atmospheric pressure and solar heating of the He) That balloon had enough lift. The winds were too high.
In 1995 or 1996 Cliff was the keynote speaker at the Dayton Hamvention. He really got those old men fired up and hating on the Internet. He was promoting a book named "Silicon Snake Oil", IIRC. It was quite humorous for the next two or three years to watch the reaction of some of those guys asking about manuals for stuff I was selling in the Dayton boneyard. I would direct them to check in the Internet, and they would loose all manner of sensibility. Too funny.
How about we just let them fail and have other more agile companies take their place? Should have happened with the banks and automakers. Those were political payoffs though. (Think Saturn. They weren't unionized, but profitable.)
We are putting to much polution into the atmosphere and we need to stop
We have spent the past 35 years attempting to convert pollution emitters into emitting non-toxic CO2, and now THAT isn't good enough? I don't get it. I must be a completely clueless knuckle dragging mouth breather.
If the source for the GPL software is unmodified and freely available from other sources why should the vendor have to duplicate it's availability?
To comply with the terms of the license, under which the vendor received the code. Otherwise, the vendor has absolutely no rights to distribute the software.
to realize that "to yell is to sell", [fear that is]
Not just fear. Any of the powerful motivators. Ego, greed, envy, sloth, and lust are among the other things used to sell the news as well as other products.
The problem is that burning it blows carbon-oxygen atoms out tailpipes, where they pollute, and ultimately cause atmospheric damage. You can't tell me all of that soot is a good thing.
We have spent the past 30 years modifying our automobiles to convert harmful HC and CO waste into harmless CO2 and H2O. Should we go back to the way it was? Sure would get rid of the pesky CO2 problem everyone is worried about. Of course acid rain and such would come back, but at least we wouldn't have to worry about that extra 1 degree temperature spike 100 years from now.
BTW, CO2 is not soot. Soot only happens when the combustion process is not complete. Catalytic converters take care of that problem too.
You can pull your ass over to answer the phone, it's not that hard to take an extra 5 minutes to get to your destination.
Like pulling off to the side of the road makes it safer? I think it makes you more of a target for someone being distracted by the toddler in the back seat. At least when your driving, the difference in speed is smaller.
I don't know of any copy protection in the late 80's or early 90's that "the system detects when part of the platform on which the digital data has been loaded has changed in part or in entirety, as compared with the platform parameters, when the software or digital data to be protected was last booted or run". I am no fan of this kind of thing, but it seems novel for the time. Then again, I wasn't working with state of the art software at the time, either:D
I am a member of the Tennessee Balloon Group. We had a parachute failure on one of our flights. TABEL-5 if I remember correctly. It burned in at a whopping 55 MPH and landed in a tree. We only launch if the predicted burst and landing is over a rural area.
Do you have any data which shows that half of the energy produced would be lost in transmission? I do. It's called the inverse square law. I have ran the numbers. 3db is a loss of half the energy. At 1GHz, there 185dB of attenuation from geosync to the ground. At 10GHz, that's 204dB of attenuation. At 100GHz that's 224dB of attenuation. I would *LOVE* to see this work, but my understanding of the physics tells me it's a scam. I could be wrong, and hope someone will explain to me how this could possibly work.
I am sure glad to see ole' Sol is waking up again. I was surprised to make as many contacts as I did on field day, with just a simply wire loop thrown up in the trees.
You seem to be under the delusion that wars are meant to be fair. That, somehow, an equal number of people should be killed on both sides and that's the good way to do a war.
That is stupidest thing imaginable.
Perfectly symmetrical warfare never solved anything.;)
I don't know of any common light sources that are more efficient than LEDs.
I don't think you understand the meaning of that Wikipedia quote.
The Voltage "above the threshold" means the voltage to cause the NP junction to conduct. In most diodes, that is.7 volts.
The part about "a current below the rating", means that if you present enough voltage across the PN junction, as to reach the current limit of the PN junction, it will fail.

Police back that up, alleging that two other men had lifted the rear of his car while he was in nearby Symons Avenue so he could spin his wheels.
Yea, sounds like one powerful beast of a car.
I think this had more to do with it.....
police say Gary Edward Ryan, 25, had been drinking since 1pm, putting away a dozen stubbies, followed by some home brew.

Yup! You can find it in the Android Market.

Never heard of that software before. NT4BG is the club callsign for our group. Pretty funny that they tag it as "Criminal_Activities"!

"So we replaced a never-ending series of giant conflicts with a never-ending series of small but locally devastating conflicts."
I disagree. There would be exactly one giant conflict. There wouldn't be much of humanity left after that.
I don't think the word semi-conductor means what you think it means.

Depends on if we are talking about imperial shitloads or not.

OS-9 was my very first "real" operating system. It was a multiuser, multitasking, RTOS for the Tandy Color Computer.

Why would people prefer the distorted sound produced my MP3-128??? As I just said - it's distorted.
The same reason people prefer the "colorized" (ie distorted) sound of a tube amp, or the "compressed and limited" audio of a radio announcer.
"Sounding good" has nothing to do with the faithful reproduction of the source material. It is a perception.
