For a party who wants to get government off the backs of the pee-pul, they sure have an odd way of going about it. Or, maybe, that has really never been their intent, simply a slogan to get the single-issue-ers to vote for them.
Certainly they mitigate but they do not eliminate these problems. (I added the dictionary links because I see 'mitigate' too often misused as you do above.)
Thank you for the dictionary references but mitigate was exactly what I meant say. In no way did I suggest they would eliminate the problem but, rather, would reduce the potential for having employees do bad things intentionally or not, e.g. mitigate.
Stealing money from the till, stealing insider information, gaming the quarterly sales to boost the stock price, etc., have always been an issue. If you employee human beings, these things will happen whether or not computers are used. Their actions don't even need to be illegal, simple carelessness can harm a company as much, or even more, than outright theft.
Careful screening during hiring, sufficient training and re-training during employment, as well as attentiveness are the keys to mitigating these problems. Restricting e-mail, firewalls, etc., are simply putting fingers in the dike.
So what exactly does this law suggest in the way of enforcement? Does it mandate ISPs place filters on their routers and block IP addresses associated with offshore gambling sites? Does it enable the President to go to war against countries who provide sanctuary for the gambling site's servers? Other than benefitting the gambling interests in the US, how does this law benefit US citizens?
Laws can't eliminate or even reduce spam from offshore sites. What makes anybody think new laws to stop gambling?
Several years ago, Intuit infested your computer with their own DRM software when you installed their TurboTax software. Of course, the packaging said nothing about it but once it was discovered, the shit hit the fan. They first denied doing anything wrong, then when forced to admit that presence of this software, they insisted it did no harm to the owner's computer. Once again, their logic was that all buyers of the software were thieves and this was protecting their I.P.. Finally, when sales of the product dropped sufficiently, they provided a mechanism to remove said-DRM software, however, TurboTax would no longer run.
The following year, all traces of this were removed in the next version and, afaik, it has never returned. I, for one, however, haven't bought their product since and don't plan to ever buy from them again.
Darl McBride resurrects the good Dr. Emmet Brown's DeLorean time machine to go back to the future in order to show that in the year 2025, IBM did, in fact, develop a version 2.7.
Hillarity ensues when he discovers that it was used to control the flux capacitor that converts the 1.5 gigawatts into a temporal displacement field.
Coming this winter to a courthouse near you.
This is/. pal. You don't just come in here hinting at sexual situations as some sort of teaser. This is as close to the real thing as some of us will ever get.
This fascinating book by the one of the creators of the Rovers as well as the principal investigator of the science mission is an absolutely fascinating tale of the tortured process leading to the birth of these explorers. He then documents the first 90 days on Mars with an almost day-by-day description of the events as they occurred. Highly recommended!
My 10 year old has "misplaced" 3 baseball gloves over the last 2 years. I'm not about to buy him an expensive laptop until he can demonstrate that he will be responsible with it. Say, when he's 35 or so.
Its time to let this one go, kids. Star Trek has had a good run (I've been watching it since its debut in the 60's), but its tired, stale, and its begging to be released into the night to begin that long, cold sleep.
All the money in the world can't save it. Put down your petitions, signs, and Klingon costumes and move on to other more important and worthwhile issues. Unlike Peter Pan, we all have to grow up sometime.
Any time Congress addresses an issue that is advertised to be a benefit to consumers, it turns out to be simply another means for companies and corporations to futher annoy and extract money from us.
This thing is going to have so many loopholes in it, it will look like swiss cheese. Undoubtly, it will also remove various protections and other such things that are currently in place that do provide some relief from the onslaught. And in the end, you will almost certainly end up with even more of whatever it is that is being addressed with the bill.
If you want to see why the space program had the broad support in Congress and across the US, visit the first link to the Saturn V press kit and click on the Subcontractor link. There are dozens of large and small companies listed here in states across the nation. And this is just for the rocket. The rest of the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo program subcontractor list must go on for dozens of pages.

Sell enough and the per unit loss approaches zero.

I guess Sony just wasn't paying attention.

If you think that its "new", you obviously haven't been watching it for a very long time. Get back to me when they develop a third gender.

Now, details, man!

I bet you say that to all the girls!
Mmmmmm. Seven year old sandwiches!
You keep thinking, Butch. Thats what you're good for.

Cancer won't be a problem because they will have all been destroyed due to the lludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator wielded by Marvin the Martian.

OK, maybe I do watch The Simpsons way too often.
Seriously, if this is such a big issue, they can publish French works on Le Google website and the Germans can publish their works on Der Google.
Otherwise, who cares?

Let it go. Treat it as if it were wearing one of the red shirts from the original show. Nothing can revive it, not even Saurian Brandy.
My tastes just aren't aligned with the computer's. I knew it was my fault somehow.

How do they get the perp to install Real Networks or Kazaa or make them clicking on the jumping Monkey?
