happened to me once. sucked at the time but I'd rather have them do it to me a week before new year's than the week after. 14 months later I was glad I didn't have to worry about their w-2 for the IRS - for me it was a small company that would have forgot and I'd have had a bad time trying to get the the w-2 if they were even around.
This may be different since they get a severance package - not sure if it's a lump sum now or extends to next year but would be better for both parties if it's over this year.
some people consider an ad for underwear 'a significant amount of child pornography' and our government is more than happy to use that term as an excuse anywhere they can to limit privacy. In this case it probably is accurate. But they also use it to shut down the Christmas Island data sanctuary, snoop on generic internet traffic, argue against apps like TrueCrypt, and on and on. So, I'm against using this argument unless they've done the police work to get a proper court order on a specific target.
You must NOT be able to prove your vote was counted correctly for a specific candidate. That leads to bribes/threats (i.e. your boss can ask to see the proof. if you want to assume that's illegal, think of all the other people who may "ask" to see it or offer something if you volunteer)
There are ways to do this and meet your requirements, but there is more to it than the 3 you listed.
My IT dept won't see a world of money. We will PAY a world of money. Dozens of apps used by 10,000s of people around the world. Upgrade, qa, and extra support after deploying the upgraded apps will cost A LOT. And Microsoft isn't offering to pay for it so it comes out of our budget. And while we're doing that we are not building new apps that the company needs. New apps work with IE8 & FF and major upgrades to old apps include upgrades for browsers. But lots of apps have been around 5+ years and have no upgrades planned.
Or can I post copyrighted material to a political site I disagree with and give some gov't agency an excuse to take it down without a court order? I'm sure they'll admit they were wrong after 11/2 and let the site back up.
This looks like a different scenario with multiple violations by the site owner, but it's a bad precedent if there is not a public court order listing the violations. There are ways to get a court order very quick with little evidence for a "critical mater" that they claim this is.
they were thinking about any weapon needed to take back the government if politicians get out of control. They weren't talking about hunting or sport or even protecting private property (it was pretty much a given that people could use guns for that). They wanted the people to have an option in addition to voting for keeping control of the government. That means people need to have any weapon the government can have.
by allowing advertisers (or whoever) to put hyperlinks in printed material?
It's easy enough to put a URL. By "hyperlink" I assume they mean something you can "press" (for some definition of press). But if you want a paper book are you the type of person who is going to want to take a photo with your phone to see extra details.
And why not put the effort into a human-readable font that you can photo and follow? Then people can type it or photo it. And it can still have a book-specific ID. And maybe get the recognition to work with a variety of fonts so you can photo-navigate to any printed url.
"in-depth interviews" can easily result in what was expected/wanted/hoped/publishable. I would want 1646 sociologists studying 1646 scientists each and combining their results by a predetermined method before thinking there is any significance when it's on a subject like this. I don't know how they picked the 275 of the 1646, but the summary did not make me think there was any reason to rtfa.
some (many) pro-agw people have been saying for a couple of years that man-made co2 has caused temps to increase but the lack of solar activity has negated the increase so we don't see an increase in measured temps. People who want agw to be true say "yeah, that sounds good". People on the other side say "that's convenient". Fortunately there are scientists on both sides who say "this needs to be explained and tested (empirically as well as with models"
It's because the people I overhear are inconsiderate jerks with nothing useful to say and half of the conversation is 50% more than I'm interested in hearing.
Otherwise pilots will end up falling asleep or finding something to do with the flight attendants that will most likely be more dangerous than playing minesweeper. They aren't supposed to be doing those either, but if I'm going to break the rules it won't be by playing minesweeper.
"focus on flying and safety" does not require staring at warning lights until they start blinking. It requires keeping your mind alert and being physical able to react when the lights blink and the alarm sounds.
treadmill capable of supporting a cow for 8 hours a day? And how much energy to ship them to where cattle are. And what's the lifetime of a treadmill with a cow walking on it 8 hours a day. And how efficiently can the energy be integrated into the farm's electric system or local grid?
It doesn't matter what % of the world's power can be generated at a given point. The net energy of one of these devices is what matters if you want to save the earth.
Companies can 'offer you, perhaps, less desirable products than they offer me, or offer you the same product as they offer me but at a higher price,'
I have a friend who I've had many contract jobs with (we bring each other along when we get a new job). He gets more money every time because he negotiates better. He also gets MUCH better deals than me on TVs, washing machines, couches, and on and on.
I can be pissed off about it, or learn to do what he does, or be happy with my life. The fact is that different people get different deals.
Tell me who you want to frame for the crime you are about to commit (actually don't tell me the details - I'll assume you have a legit reason:) I'll follow them around until they discard tissues or a cup or whatever. You can leave the evidence at the scene and the police won't need to spend weeks or months collecting other evidence since they've got all they need. At the very least they'll spend some effort tracking down someone other than you.
I assume this "law student" hasn't had the class where they discuss the constitution yet. At least I hope Yale isn't teaching that this is an appropriate use of government power.
People discuss the controversial news on sites with other people who agree with them. And they get depth of knowledge about "their side" and get attacks, misrepresentations, and lies about "the other side". Then they often "forget" which was news, facts, or opinions and treat most of what they read on a biased site as true. It would often be better if they were ignorant on the subject.
People don't like when a new version of Microsoft Office looks different. People at my company, my wife's company, and many neighbors refused to use 2007 for a long time and even removed it on new computers to install an older version.
But when you finally learn the new version of Microsoft office you know you'll be able to use that learning at the office and friends' houses and other places. If you take the time to learn OO, there's a good chance you won't see it anywhere except your house.
When my wife had to learn to mail-merge on MS 2007 a year ago she just had to learn the sequence of menu/keys, but she knew the general process. I got her a new computer a couple of months ago and put OO on it. When she tried to mail-merge our Christmas cards she got very frustrated:
"I have an excel file. Why do I need to create a database from it?" (not a big deal once you learn, but I agree - why have to?)
"How do you remove duplicate rows in excel" (it's ugly if the help I found is correct, so she did it manually)
"Why is it printing 2 addresses on one envelope then none on the next?" (??? envelope size was right, everything else looked right. we started over and same thing. she printed them 1 at a time)
My kids and I have used OO for years on documents an simple spreadsheets without problems. This was my wife's first encounter with OO and probably her last.
They have every right to say this; when the people arguing against them are not climate scientists.
CO2-based AWG theory is based on statistics and modeling as much as climate.
In many studies and models the "climate scientist" aspect is almost non-existent. The "science" is about taking a lot of numbers and finding correlations. The scientist does need an understanding of the data to determine which statistical methods are valid. But there are so many statistical methods with different requirements on the underlying data that statistics can show anything. The scientist needs to be very careful to make sure that any expectations (even subconscious) don't allow them to put a higher level of confidence in a border-line valid method that gives the expected results vs. a valid method that gives unexpected results. And they should be open to skeptics who are experts in modeling and statistics (and tree rings and ice cores,...).
> Why a random sampling? depends on what's left. They could wait for all of the responses like "this is out of context" and "that's not really what we meant", then release the context and catch them lying now.
It will certainly delay and restrain any responses since people have to figure out what else may be there and not get caught in a coverup.
One theory is that exists so the artist can get government protection of their work for a time, and in return work is entered into public domain when the time expires.
By that theory, my tax dollars (FBI, courts, etc) are used to protect your work for a set amount of time and I do have the right to demand that your works are released when the time expires.

"Don't wait for users to ask. Just serve them constantly and include 'search results' that the user may be interested in."
don't allow users to power on the device and don't allow any apps to run. Then we'll all be safe.

Does anyone else have this problem with /.
Just assume the answer is yes
The obstruction of justice charge stems from an allegation by the FBI that Kernell attempted to erase evidence of the crime from his hard drive
