Off topic? That is a classic Stewieism. You really should lear about the voice and speech patterns of the characters in a show before moding on comments concerning the show.
Ooh, I know. We'll give the pimply faced loser in his mothers basement mod points. That'll make things right for sure.
Yes. He would be better off if he were to stop trolling. His skills are lackluster at best. His misdirection and misinformation were shoddy, and his FUD was totally lacking. I'd say it was a 2 out of 10.
Four hours for "The Catcher in the Rye"? Wow, your a fast reader. I'm considered a rather quick reader at about 325 words per minute average. The average reader is 200-250 wpm. You read at an astounding 460 wpm.
Why do people keep repeating this line? You are going to school to get enough skills in the right areas so you can get a job. You can think without shooling, and I bet you had opinions well before kindergarden. The whole reason for learning other things besides your major is not that they want you to be well rounded for the sake of being well rounded, but so you can keep yourself entertained later in life which cuts down on morale problems at work.
Derivitive works were well known to the founding fathers. They expected you to get off your butt and make them to support the lifestyle to which you had become acquainted. They also expected others to use your creations as the basis for their own creations. Sort of a feedback loop. The idea was to allow the creators to make a profit, but force them to create more. Disney isn't knocking down doors to find the descendents of Hans Christian Anderson to pay them a buttload of money for using their ancestors story as the basis to derive their blockbuster of a few years ago. They are more than happy create works that are derivitive of other peoples creations, but they damn well don't want others to do the same thing with their creations. Disney made it's fortune on the backs of great storytellers of the past, but don't want to contribute to those who come after them in the same way. I am all for for compensating people for the tremendous effort it takes to create new things, but I think the present scheme, and your scheme stifle creativity, and that is the wrong thing to do.
But the issue is that copyrights were never meant to be used that way. They were meant to be a mechanism that would allow authors and artists a mechanism to attempt to recoup the costs of creation, and a profit from their creative endevours while causing them to have to continue to be creative. That means that the limited nature of the copyright meant that if the cration was a smashing success, you would still need to create new content in seven or fourteen years if you wanted to get paid more. It was a mechanist to foster CREATION of new materials, not protection of old.
The thing is, the OP probibly believes that a guarantee of fixing something for free that they claimed to fix to begin with means something. If a consultant guaranteed me that they
It all comes down to cost benefit analysis. Which costs less? Being hacked/cracked, or purchasing and applying all of the security stuff? That's the choice most companies and individuals will go with.
Here's a quick CBA. Average cost of losses - $24,000. Average cost of competent network/system admin - $60,000. Want to guess why things are the way they are?
Well, at least with a subpoena, the entity subpoened has a legal obligation to supply the data. That is very different than handing it over willingly. If google supplies the requested data, shame on them. If they supply subpoenaed data, then shame on the gov for asking.
Unless the EPA has changed it's rules in the last 15 years this is still going to be a losing proposition. I looked at single point source recyclng way back then. The EPA considered your removing the valuable items from the closed landfill as producing toxic waste since there was all of that nasty stuff left from your industrial processes. The fact that the stuff was already there and you would actually be removing several toxic items didn't matter. I wonder if it would work if you pitched it as "remediation" rather than industry. Hmmm. I may need to look into this again. Maybe you can even get government grants to clean the sites up.
I'm calling bullshit on this. Steel companies buy scrapp because it makes the new steel better than using just pig/cast iron from the ore. Copper is the same way. Copper plants want old copper to mix with new. There is a Cerro Copper plant not far from where I live, and they have a stockpile of old copper and brass that goes into the pits.
Contrary to what you say, aluminum is not the magic recyclable. There are a lot of aluminum items that recyclers just won't take. Anything that is an alloy of aluminum and magnesium, I believe, has to be seperated and handled very differently for recycling. They found out why one day in the metalshop at the highschool I went to. The recyclers wouldn't take some of the aluminum scrap because it was the particular alloys. The shop teacher set up for some green sand casting, fired up the furnace, and tossed the refused scrap in. Rather than melting like cans, it BURNED. It was basically thermite. Ruined the crucibal by cracking it and the burner had to be replaced. That said, cans can be recycled at a profit, but cans are only a portion of the aluminum out there.
But what about pricing scheams? Thing's will no longer be $19.99 and $34.99! What about $.99 cent stores? Are you trying to put them all out of business?
Doesn't matter. Still uses bandwidth. Still uses CPU. Both of which are mine, not theirs. They want to tell the marketers that I was there, they can use their resources. The marketers are paying them for the service, not me.
Well, that's sort of my thought. If the information is so valuable to them, they should use their CPU cycles and bandwith to notify the people paying them, not me. yes I know I use resources following the redirects, and I don't like them either.
Well, I'm not sure I have my head around exactly how this will work, but if the ping is coming from my machine, it's using my cycles and bandwidth. Now imagine if rather than redirecting through some stats gatherers proxy and finally getting where you wanted to go in the first place with the stat gatherer backending the data out to a couple of hundred advertising clients, now they have your box simply "ping" all of them. Not how it's designed to be used, probably not how it will be used, but I'm sure some computer illiterate entrepreneur will come up with some equally stupid way of misusing the "feature".
Open fields? What do open fields have to do with this? Ok. Here is the scene. Late 1970's. Don't remember what year, but the U.S. National Falconers Convention was held outside St. Louis, Mo. My father and several of his friends were licensed falconers and had red tailed hawks and goss hawks mostly. The birds were fun to catch, and local. I have seen Red Tails and Goss take mice and rabits in open territory, but I have also seen them take squirrles off of trees. I have seen footage of harpy eagles taking monkeys out of trees. No plains needed.
Notice the "short version" disclaimer? I didn't have the time to get into the name changes and subletting that was involved in the overall dispute. I was simply clarifying why Novell selling Netware and it's version of UNIX weren't considered competition with the existing SCO for the purposes of the ammended complaint.

Once again, different neighborhoods at different times it could be either that were the "Good" guys.

You must have grown up in a different time and neighborhood than me if the cops always won when you played.

You have my sympathies.

You mean they aren't?

Customers and consumers are not always the same person. I am a customer of Blizzard entertainment. My son is a consumer of their product.

Considering that their legal complaints have pretty much been crap up to this point, I don't want to know where they searched, and what they seized.
