At present, there is no internationally agreed definition of terrorism. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants.
..."the only general characteristic of terrorism generally agreed upon is that terrorism involves violence and the threat of violence"...Property destruction that does not endanger life is not usually considered a violent crime...
and
It is commonly held that the distinctive nature of terrorism lies in its intentional and specific selection of civilians as direct targets. Specifically, the criminal intent is shown when babies, children, mothers and the elderly are murdered, or injured and put in harm's way. Much of the time, the victims of terrorism are targeted not because they are threats, but because they are specific "symbols, tools, animals or corrupt beings" that tie into a specific view of the world that the terrorists possess.
Note that in this case, the AM towers and their owners wouldn't be "civilians," since they aren't merely symbols, like the WTC, but because the ELF nutcases consider them actual threats. I don't agree with their pseudo-science, but to call this "terrorism" dilutes and confuses the term, and pretty soon we'll be calling file-sharing "terrorism" too.

You know, I'm all for getting rid of AT&T and the likes, but why the hell don't they have the right to use their products influence to subdue competition.
You live in some fucked up utopian dream world that doesn't exist, businesses CAN use their products to tie you in, stop being a whiney bitch. 'No one is as good as XXX and I don't want to pay XXX' So go use YYY and not get service as good as XXX, don't try to enact a law or file suite to change things just because you don't like the way things turned out.
Why AT&T SHOULDN'T get by with this is because we've funded their asses to roll out broadband and cell access to rural areas and they've utterly failed to provide what they promised to do with the money we gave them, our tax money.
But thats not what you're bitching about, you're simply bitching that you don't like AT&T so you think its immoral that you have to play by their rules in order to use their service. Don't use their service, don't use an iPhone, problem solved.
Its a shame society exists, your dumb ass would have been eaten by the lion while whining about how its unfair that you can't run as fast as everyone else so you are going to get eaten.
In Windows, I have to go into cmd to solve problems on a regular basis. Just today, I tried disconnecting a network drive using the GUI. "The network connection could not be found." Solution: in cmd, type "net use/persistent:no", _then_ reboot. The same users who would use the CLI in Linux will use it in Windows, and the users who would use the GUI in Windows can use it in Linux. The latter users will still end up asking their techie friends to help solve problems, whether they use Windows or Linux.
You can't study emergent behavior by studying source code. Even within one host, the interactions between malware, applications and every the piece of the OS would already have emergent properties. Magnify by tens of thousands to millions (exponentially, not additively or multiplicatively), and the sheer complexity of the entire system would overwhelm our ability to understand it.
We have ~100 billion neurons and ~100 trillion synapses. At 2^N - N - 1 subgroups, how many pieces before the system's complexity outruns our brain's processing power? A network of 47 pieces has ~140 trillion subgroups. With several million pieces...
Personality disorders aren't genetic. There may be an underlying predisposition to stress or poor coping mechanisms, but personality disorders are not genetic in nature. They're caused primarily by environmental factors
Right, and the notable differences in brain morphology are merely due to "environmental" factors.
and they're definitely not mental illness in a technical sense.
How about this and this? Those are extremely technical.
They aren't treatable via medication

Medications aren't likely to ever help out much.
Have you ever been diagnosed for a mental disorder and prescribed medication? I have, and it makes a world of difference. I know other people who have, and they concur. The meds can mean the difference between being able to live a productive life and being locked down in a padded cell. You don't know what you're talking about.
and even the as yet unproven brain chemistry explanation of mental illness doesn't apply.
...
Personality disorders are better thought of as a culture that's unique the the person and not to the people around which the person is living. It's a systematic adjustment that the brain makes to cope with adverse conditions and it's not something which can be readily separated from the individual's self. As opposed to mental illnesses where people will frequently have periods, however brief, of remission.

Inner joins produce intersections of data -- they limit the result set. Outer joins produce Cartesian result sets. That's why they're also referred to as Cartesian joins.
So if I make a playlist for an album that shuffles the songs around and leaves out a couple of songs I dislike, I'm making a derivative work? LOL, nice try, but silly logic.
Gmail is also great. Simple, secure, and uncluttered. Create an app icon and add it to the start menu, and you have a very simple email solution. The only problem I have though is their grouping of threads, which is unnecessary. That should be a lab feature if any. And why can't they just add folders? Who cares which is better. Some people just want folders, not labels, and if its so easy to give it to them, denying it is selfish. Just give it up, and give people what they want!
Labels can work _exactly_ like folders if that's all you want. The main difference is that a message can be in more than one "folder" if you need it to be.
I teach software engineering courses at iAcademy (Information and Communications Technology Academy, Makati City, Philippines). We have an SE-specialized CS degree program, which includes the following courses:
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
Software Engineering
Software Architecture
Quality Management
Project Management
Those are mostly junior level courses, and they lead to a two term SE Project, where the students work together in groups on small-scale industry projects.
After completing their project, our students then take a two term internship (about 6 months) during their senior year.
The program is new, with one class graduating last May and a second one graduating next year. The initial feedback has been encouraging, both on the graduates and on the interns.

Does your RAM have some other cache before it sends stuff off to the CPU? Same thing here, except its going to and from RAM to the SSD.
Most modern processors have 2-3 "other" caches... L1, L2, L3.
