How will the damage already be done? Why would potential customers be going to a website that the business owner hasn't even registered yet?
I suppose there is a chance that Google might find the junk site, determined it was crap, and send it down to the bottom of the heap during the 5 day trial period.
Yep, I would like a little bit of what he is smoking.
Perhaps what he really meant was that a glass bottle can be recycled to become a glass bottle again, while a plastic bottle cannot without great expense and thus is not.
Apparently pregnancy and menopause are "diseases." I also fail to see how it makes any sense to consider those conditions as ones that would "predispose" an individual to carpal tunnel. Have there been peer-reviewed studies showing a causation there or something? I am guessing it was the writer of the website article that lumped them together with diseases and that the journal would have classified them as "conditions".
Many pregnant women experience generalized swelling, especially noticeable in the ankle and wrists. Presumably that swelling could cause CTS. Anecdotally, I knew of a women who developed practically crippling CTS while pregnant and as far as I know she wasn't doing any intensive computer work at the time.
I don't know if menopausal women go through anything similar.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but could you defend your statement that FOSS allows for a greater educational impact? For Pete's sake, if you like other people to see why and you did an MA thesis on it, why don't you tell us yourself? The roundabout ways that people try to make points on here sometimes drives me crazy. I really would like to hear about the greater educational impact FOSS has on high school students though.
The fines Microsoft were given are being used to buy computers that have Linux installed on them. Rather simple to understand really. Perhaps I missed it when Dell announced that a portion of every Linux purchase would be donated to the FOSS project of your choice.
For my Linux purchase? How does not paying MS fund FOSS? From the title you would think that MS accidentally funded some FOSS project. In reality a small portion of the computers might be purchased without MS software. How this translates to funding FOSS is indeed a mystery.
How is this different from small Cesnas and what not that are buzzing around now, except that it folds up and drives you home from the airstrip? I don't think there would be problems with the licensing, its just another small plane. It won't be average drivers that will be flying this thing, you'll still need a pilots license as well as a drivers license. Plus, $150K to spend on your flying car. With a top speed of 115 mph, it hardly seems worth the bother anyway.
You apparently have a very broad definition of "crook". I wasn't aware that trying to sell something for more than it is available elsewhere was somehow crooked or a ripoff. How unethical it is for the grocery store not to tell me that that can of beans is $0.10 cheaper down the street.
If the buyer is too lazy to look elsewhere then they will probably end up paying more than necessary. However, I have a real problem believing that someone who can figure out how to use their computer and navigate to eBay would be unaware of the myriad of other places where one can purchase a Wii, etc. I also do not see any false implication of rarity since there will generally be about a billion listings for anything that is not truly rare.
These sellers pay eBay to promote their items for sale or auction. Ebay is turning around and profiting by helping outsiders pilfer their customers through advertisements on the same listing pages that they paid for. I think they have a right to be pissed.
Yeah, I guess if your primary motivation is to save gas rather than to get a car off the road then you can't ride in the HOV lane. Or if you and your spouse work at the same place and would drive together regardless then no HOV for you. The next time I pass through DC with my wife I probably shouldn't use the HOV lanes on I-95 either because we weren't planning on taking two cars on a 700 mile trip anyway.
It is also silly to try to draw any conclusions simply based on the number of agents involved. It is quite possible that lesser priorities could have more agents assigned. The cybercrimes unit may operate more efficiently with fewer agents than say the people fighting organized crime. Or maybe they have more stuff they can farm out to contractors. To a degree, number of agents assigned is meaningless.
Sounds like a coincidence to me. I know this is MS but WTF would the limit on the number of rows have to do with multiplying some numbers within a single cell?
He was obviously referring to what is technically feasible, not what is currently available to the consumer. If a la carte was available then this whole story would be moot.
Since the primary purpose of the GPS system is coordinating US (and allied) military activity, which one imagine that there would be quite a lot of in the wake of such an event, I think you are mistaken. OTOH, one imagines that there are several backup control stations ready to take over in the event of an attack on the primary one.
I was thinking more along the lines that once we get to the point of lobbing nukes at each other pinpoint precision with conventional weapons becomes less of an issue.
First thing that happens is the laptop gets wiped. That's what I was thinking, especially if the thing boots up Linux by default. It would be pretty easy to roll your own solution and hide it in one of the start-up scripts though.
So... someone dumps a high yield nuke (more likely a few high yield nukes) on one location and the whole GPS system goes to hell after a few days/weeks?
Please tell me this isn't the case. Otherwise someone didn't think their cunning plan all the way through. If someone drops a few high yield nukes on the U.S. the state of the GPS system in a few days/weeks is probably irrelevant to all parties involved.
... basically solar powered iPod shuffles with atomic clocks... cheaper to support and modify since Sun stocks things like SATA drives... good to go to fly the new IIF birds. Is it that it's Tuesday and I've already had enough hassle to fill a week, or was anyone else thoroughly confused by TFS? Yes, this summary reads more like the incoherent ramblings of an AC post.
Every few years the so-called "deadline" keeps getting pushed back. Looks like I can keep my regular old TV set for a few more years. The deadline for broadcast TV to switch to digital did not get pushed back. How cable providers push their content over their wires has nothing to do with that at all. At best the 2009 switchover was a convenient excuse to force all their basic customers up to a digital tier.
The reason Bush can stick to his positions so easily is that his positions amount to a pack of carefully packaged lies.
Take the Bush tax cuts for example. He wanted the tax cuts, and he wanted them slanted to favor the very rich. We know that much, if only because that's exactly what he got. But his position (lie) was (depending on the day): I was very pro-Bush and I don't really enjoy paying taxes, but it was around this time that my confidence started to wane. Seeing the same scenario repeated with Iraq (Saddam helped with 9/11, he has WMD, freedom and democracy!) was the final straw.
While the U.S. does have a few too many bases around the world, I bet the only "occupiers" in many of these countries are the Marines guarding the embassies.
AOL. Posting that is tantamount to karma whoring. No crap. It should just be automatically posted at the end of every security vs privacy related article. Posting it by itself without ANY other commentary is not insightful.

Yes, but the sky will be in a different place above you depending on latitude.
I am at 35.778889 N and the sky is up. Can you post your latitude and sky direction for comparison?How will the damage already be done? Why would potential customers be going to a website that the business owner hasn't even registered yet?

Nobody drives anymore, there is too much traffic.
Actually his use of "ironic" is perfectly cromulent. Look up verbal irony.

It is really going on. Here is one of many links that pop up if you google "indonesia carpool jockey".
