There's a difference between tracking an object that is moving and tracking a stationary object while you are moving. E.g. Stare at a newspaper while walking past it, and then have a friend walk past you with a newspaper. You'll have a lot of problems focusing on the newspaper while it is moving, but you will be fairly accurate in focusing on the newspaper while you walk past it. The semi-circular canals provide a lot of stabilization for visual processing/focusing when you're moving.
Anyone using counterfeit products who "recklessly causes or attempts to cause death" can be imprisoned for life. This of course, is to prevent those would be terrorists/criminal masterminds from infringing on US copyright violations. If you want to simulate flying into buildings , make maps for you school shootings, or practice terror routines , you damn well better have a license for it.
I'm not sure about everyone else here, but my router and cable modem are tucked away under my desk where the annoying blinking lights don't bother me. I think I speak for myself and a lot of others when I say that they only time I check the lights on my router/cable modem is when my computer isn't working, not every time I go to use my computer (which makes it rather pointless to have the lights on all the time).
That depends. If you're a good employ that carpools, doesn't turn on the lights, and always powers down his machine at the end of the day, then you're fine. If you don't, well, just remember, stop drop and roll, stop drop and roll.
Using the power of GD and Perl, you can link various data and images together to create sophisticated charts that will help bring visual interest to your applications And if you really considered yourself a Perl programmer, you'd be able to do it all in one line of code.
The blog didn't reproduce, it directly (I assume screenshot, it has been subsequently removed) copied the source from the images. Since then she reconstructed the data from the source using her own graphs-- which (should) be perfectly fine. Most journals (not open access) require written permission (several weeks/months of waiting) to copy a figure from their paper. There are exceptions in some cases (e.g., if you are an author of the original work), but basically, you give up a lot of your rights to the material when you publish in a non open-access journal.
The other huge, huge flaw of Nagios is configuring it. It shouldn't take a reference book from O'Reilly to do this efficiently, but I'm afraid it does. There are easily a dozen different configuration tools at www.nagiosexchange.org and sourceforge.net... I think the other huge flaw is that 50% of the users visiting www.nagiosexchange.org are probably looking for different "configuration tools" in the first place.
I didn't see anything that would violate copyright... The DMCA card has been used under far more controversial events: including preventing competition in toner cartridges and garage door openers http://picker.uchicago.edu/Papers/PickerDMCA.100.p df
I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that families that are sports oriented don't have enough time to cook healthy meals and as a result, eat out more often. There's a reason why they feature the stereotypical soccer mom in commercials advertising fast (often microwaveable) food.
the United States is a nation of immigrants. Along with almost every other country in the world at some point.
I'd be willing to bet pretty much everyone posting in this thread is the descendent of no more than 3-4 generations of immigrants on both sides of their families at most. So only people with a quality status of "generation tenure" are allowed to discuss what is best for America? I think myself and the majority of others that do meet your "tenure" requirement disagee.
I think you would see a large shift in voting/progress if you switched to online voting. It's often said that progress in society is the result of the older generation dying out and being replaced with a younger generation that has new ideas. If you consider that younger generations are renown for not voting, combined with a linear increasing life expectancy (the average life expectancy increases 2-1/2 years every 10 years), then you're seeing a gradual reduction in turnover for voters opinions. A turnover that might have taken 20 years before, now takes 40. The end result is a system that is continuing to bias to "traditional" views instead of the changing times.
Switching to electronic voting would help correct for this as it would be most influential in getting the younger generation to vote. Consequently, the turnover in voters opinions will happen more frequently, and politicians, etc., will no longer be able to rely on the "traditional" style of appeal. The result would be a paradigm shift of what kind of agenda politicians will have to cater to, and society and politics would become more progressive.
The same situation exists in the Jury Selection system as well. Unfortunately, I don't see any simple way to increase involvement of the younger generation in Jury Selection either-- eventually that will need to be addressed.
Of course, one could also argue that a gradual increase in bias towards older generations is not a "problem".
As posted above http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=223182&cid =18071388 , it seems they were emailing him directly as well-- he wanted them to stop emailing. Neither article mentioned what the nature of the emails were, but there was at least some kind of pattern of behavior. Either way, it's a PR nightmare for them regardless of the situation.
For those that are too lazy to read either article, it seems that they were also emailing the officer in question about his speeding and he wanted some kind of court order to prevent them from continuing to email them. Neither article clearly specifies what exactly the "stalking" was referring to: the actual recording of the speeding event, or the constant emails he received from them (or perhaps both).
If you are addicted to drugs and show up to work high, you're gonna get fired Perhaps you should read the Americans Disabilities Act FAQ: ADA
In particular, the section on drug addictions:
7. Q: What about applicants with a history of illegal drug use? Do they have rights under the ADA?
A: It depends. Casual drug use is not a disability under the ADA. Only individuals who are addicted to drugs, have a history of addiction, or who are regarded as being addicted have an impairment under the law. (emph added)
Read the webpage for the specifics that it entails. Alcoholics are also covered under the act.
IANAL, but as far as I know, firing someone that has a drug addiction is a violation of the ADA, especially if they inform you of their problem. The idea being that there should be no repercussions (at least employment wise) for asking for help in treating your problem. In fact, most insurance companies will actually cover the bill for any rehab/etc needed to overcome drug addictions.
for all the logic and deductive reasoning they use, it ends up being pure chance and blind luck that gives us some of the best discoveries. More like the: "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be research -- Albert Einstein".
Seriously, research is 90% failures, and 10% success. Most researchers don't sit down and say: "I know that C exists, all I need to do is show that A->B->C and then I can write a paper and be famous for finding the connection". It's more like A->B, then C doesn't work, so they try other things (D,E,F). Most of the time they find some odd peculiarity that led to A->B->Z which they never thought of in the first place. They write the paper showing A->B->Z and never mention that C-X didn't work and everyone thinks they're a genius for thinking of A->B->Z in the first place (which is very often not the initial hypothesis they had).
This whole design is why the Model T got the title "T" instead of A,B, etc.
The responsible substance, dimethyl sulfide, in addition to smelling like the coast, also acts as a homing scent for birds looking to feast on plankton. Attention Hollywood, you now have a plot.

I'm up for it so long as none of the components include an uplink to US Robotics.
What are these *survivors* you speak of?

Out of curiosity, who gets the $0.30 for the songs, Apple, the producer, the musician? A quick search didn't turn up anything.

A brief read of the PLoS copyright compared to the present article's copyright Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture copyright really shows the difference between Open-access journals and others.

Yes, those truly are "missing links" ;)
