ORACLE (One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison) occasionally makes actual products that people can use to get stuff done. The other guys are just pure parasites, they produce nothing except lawsuits.

Fortunately, crap like this wouldn't even make it out of the gate in New Hampshire
What makes you think that it will make it in New York? Legislators propose bullshit like this all the time. Most of it never goes anywhere. If this bill actually passes (or hell, even comes close to passing) then you'll have a point.
And speaking of anonymity... In NH, it's a felony to check into a hotel under an assumed name.
This article goes into a little more depth. The block is actually a combination of aluminum and carbon. The parts that see the highest stress and highest temperature still have to be metal.
Also, this engine was announced a year ago, and I haven't been able to find any links to people actually driving one.
What I don't get is this: They could make equal money building out a fleet of say, 1000 F16 / F18 Superwhaterver BlockZ aircraft. Scary enough and potent enough to deal with any adversary in the next several decades. Cheap enough for generic use.
But this is the F22. It's 4 louder than the F18!
Something else is going on, maybe military penis size or something.
A little known fact: the famed pacifist Gandhi had the biggest cock in all of India. He'd swim in the Ganges, and people would think that an anaconda was following him. Which was kind of weird, since anacondas live in South America. Then Gandhi and Martin Luther King would stand on opposite sides of the river and have a swordfight.
The "oh, forget about it, they're all the same" attitude that a lot of people take is intellectual laziness which, if enough people adopt it, paves the road to power for real monsters.
Too many people have forgotten this. Objectivity means that you examine the facts without prejudice; it doesn't mean that you automatically give equal weight to both sides of an argument. When two people are taking two incompatible positions, chances are very good that one of them is more wrong than the other.
A few years ago I was in Boston, and heard a PSA on the radio. It was Mayor Menino talking about prostate cancer screenings... but it seemed like he wasn't sure how to pronounce it. About half the time he said "prostate", the other half he said "prostrate".
Then I realized that they probably recorded multiple takes, and this was the best one they could get.
And the silly season just keeps getting longer and longer. How about this: Obama's been president for 3 years now, so we've had plenty of time to judge his job performance. His challengers have been campaigning for almost as long, and they've had plenty of opportunity to explain what they'd do differently. If you haven't decided yet, you never will. Just hold the damn election next week and get it over with.
I searched on Google News, and I got two hits, both of which cite the Independent as the source. Yeah, it seems strange that nobody else is writing about it.
If you sing in the shower, and nobody hears it, do you make a sound?
Anyway, your scheme wouldn't work. It's not practical for the content owners to check if you're singing in the privacy of your own domicile, never mind determining the number of listeners. They should just be able to collect a flat fee from every sentient being in the universe. Keep things simple.
Humans can't live without killing other living things. Until we learn to photosynthesize, that is. You just sound like someone who doesn't want to think about where his dinner came from.
Sort of. It works more like an exclamation. Its purpose is to convey a feeling of frustration, bewilderment and anger - it's not an attempt to get an answer. So I'd say that either a period or a question mark are OK.
"What the fuck are you doing?" or "What the fuck is this?" - those are unambiguously questions. It's possible to give a meaningful answer.
Should Google be able to work out where you live, find the nearest schools, look up the History lesson plans and see that you've got a Chinese politics essay to hand in; or alternatively should it work out the median wage where you live and determine how likely it is that you'll be travelling to China?
Hard to tell, the article is light on details. That's one possible interpretation. Here's another: there were actually much more than 3000 warrant-less trackers out there. After they lost the case, the FBI tried to get warrants for all the existing trackers. Most of those requests were granted, like they usually are, and the 3000 are the ones where they were denied.

Doesn't this violate the "anti-Tivo" clause of GPL v3? Sure, the kernel is still on v2, but the system can't run without all the v3 stuff.
This will not stand, man.

You mean they could have shut down Tor using hyphens?
No. That particular vulnerability was fixed a long time ago.

Las Vegas made me realize that New York City is tastefully understated.
Nope, still broken.
4. Why does Islam prohibit the consumption of pork?
This is a common misconception. The Koran merely advised against eating pork at certain restaurants.

We smoked some of the gnome on the way over. Sorry.

How about this one: stop invading other countries just for the hell of it. I bet that would reduce the expenses.
Sometimes I wish there was a "+1, Troll" option.

You can also conduct all manner of black market trade with Bitcoin. Drugs, guns, prostitutes, all on the table.
I would really like to see the prostitute who takes bitcoins.
No, on second thought, I would really not like to see the prostitute who takes bitcoins.

They're working on that algorithm as we speak.
The 3000 were just for ones without warrants.

This is not a new height in anything - Nixon was doing shit like this on a regular basis.
I think a company announcing they're NOT doing a marketplace would probably get bigger headlines these days.
SCO, a well-know leader in the software field, is just about to announce theirs. They only have one app so far, and it costs $699.00.
