Interpol is basically an information exchange entity between national police forces of member countries. Interpol doesn't not have its own officers making arrests, extraditions, etc--they are not a police force.
I'd gladly buy an unlocked phone and switch to the best US carrier for me, just give me an equivalent monthly discount on my service... AT&T ??... Verizon ??... T-Mobile ??... Sprint ??... Bueller??... Anyone ??
A majority of the Europeans I've encountered when I lived or travelled in these countries, acted all surprised if English wasn't spoken where they were.
The question is why does anyone continue to listen to Mark Cuban? Outside of bilking Yahoo out of ~$6bil for a software product they ultimately discarded, why is this guy interesting?
He frequently likes to make outlandish statements about p2p, and other tech world topics, but these never ring true... I've had enough of these false prophets...
Agreed, as someone that T-Mobile attempted to screw over, I was very glad to have my paper to be able to show them that they were wrong, $400 wrong... They canceled my account, immediately blocked online access to records, and proceeded to charge me an "early termination fee" of $400 (two lines). If I didn't have paper copies, I would have been out $400...
Background: In switching to AT&T, I wanted the process to go smoothly and thus ported my numbers in advance (two weeks) of contract termination, fully intending to pay my normal monthly bill for the period including the two weeks. T-Mobile claimed that by porting my numbers, I had actively canceled my contract early, and claimed this was in the contract I could access online (despite knowing that they had blocked online access). So I pulled out my printed contract from nearly two years earlier, and asked them to cite chapter and verse to back up their claim. They obviously couldn't, it wasn't in there, nor would FCC rules allow it to be. So they backed down.
Usually IT job employment contracts require you to turn over all employer property immediately upon contract termination, and they explicitly list passwords as part of employer property.
However employees can legally withhold employer property until that time that employer has paid all debts to employee.
No he shouldn't have to spend 14 months in jail, awaiting trial -- the constitution demands the right to a speedy trial. However he and his lawyer(s) have chosen not to exercise this right. I do think the $5 million bail is excessive, but bail is warranted nonetheless.
And to everyone who thinks he going to cash in in some lawsuit against the city, keep dreaming... A civil jury of San Franciscans is not going to take too kindly to having had their city held hostage for weeks, requiring the mayor to make a jailhouse visit etc. Just because he was delegated some responsibility doesn't mean he has some legal right to deny the revocation of that responsibility.
And now pesky infantile moderators, go ahead and mod me down: -1 strenuously disagree without logical basis...
I upgrade on the order of every four years. This means CPU, MB, RAM and graphics card. No way around it.
That being said, I plan on upgrading to i7 920. My current system is a desktop, mail-, web-, file-, print-, dns-, and dhcp-server, router, firewall, and a few more things I am forgetting. [Of course I run Linux]. My current P4 2.8Ghz (space heater that also does some computation) can't handle much when it I run a simple multi-threaded desktop app. The cpu has 1 core and two "hyperthreads". I look forward to 4 cores and 8 hyperthreads--I could use them. I don't see why other people need a desktop and a server on today's hardware.
I generally think that it's better to get a reasonably priced base system on the latest platform, and then you can do a cheap partial upgrade to the high end version of the platform (off eBay) in two years...
> They don't have samples from Transylvania, where the flu may have evolved, either. They have viruses there, right?
Yes, but they probably do have samples from that region. They don't have samples from Mars, and it has been posited that life on Earth originated from Mars, thus if you anti-conspiracy nuts deny the Great Martian H1N1 conspiracy you're all fools!
"[The CDC's Nancy Cox says] since researchers don't have samples of swine flu viruses from South America and Africa, where the new strain may have evolved, those regions can't be ruled out as natural sources"
But let's start spreading those conspiracy theories anyway!
It's a reasonable explanation, yes, but I think the vast majority of people would accept that their flash experience restarts if they switch out & back into safari--even simply when switching from one of your precious 8 maximum tabs to another and back. Better than not having flash at all...
Bond is up to the judge, upon consultation with prosecutor and defense attorneys. If you think bail is too high, get a better lawyer. Are you seriously suggesting that sysadmins as a class of people should have lower bail amounts in general vs. the general public? This bit about him being the only useful admin, is quite obviously his perception that he has successfully propagated. Is it the truth that he was the only admin in the whole city who wasn't incompetent?
What illegal things did Childs do? Well, read the indictment and wait for the jury to answer that. The defense has not been able to convince a judge that the charges should be thrown out...
There's usually someone higher up that will listen:..., CEO, chairman of the board, investors. If you really feel the warning is so needed. If you chain of command is colluding against the good of the company, you MUST report it to the higher authority.
And, yes, I know what "devil's advocate" means--apparently this devil's advocate is a raving lunatic.

Just wait until they apply bass damages...
OT Haiti situation aside, there is no "charity" here -- Google is paying Mozilla for customers, and making money off of this deal.
Mozilla should simply offer up their search defaults to the highest bidder, ka-ching! (Or is it ka-Bing?)

Or maybe charge the real cost (nothing even close to $1.50) for those who opt for paper when signing up new accounts.
That's why we have judges and juries...

Thank you for being honest!
Mod parent funny.

Yes, every CD now comes with an entire price guide of used cars...
that's crap -- we all know the OP was BS'ing about an NDA preventing him from providing passwords to his boss.
