Or where the benefits of the "medicine" are fraudulent. St. John's Wort is a good one right now, where the claims of both effectiveness and actual content in the tablets are pretty much made up. Mangosteen and Noni Juice are others: Scientology with its claims of health benefits from 'auditing' is one of the most famous medical frauds.
I'll have to qualify it: she kept government correspondence in her personal email, and ignored FOIA and subpoenas for which she should have handed over that material.
Agreed. That game was unplayable with a normal monitor, turning up the brightness and gamma on mine enough to see anything not already eating my liver made it very washed out and drab.
Except: Palin was using her personal account for government work, which is illegal. And she's telling her staff to ignore subpoenas about whether she campaigned with state resources. Those are impeachable offenses for the president, and illegal if not felonies for governor.
Do we want another impeachable VP? Weren't Spiro Agnew, Bush the elder, and Cheney enough?
I don't know if your university was particularly good about this, but you'd better believe that a lot of 'people skills' schools engage in this kind of encouragement of their students to boost evaluations. And I've certainly seen subtle signs of it in teachers who casually violated the confidentiality part of the teacher evaluations, and at least one part where it got a student's grade lowered.
Like any evaluation, it's worth taking with a grain of salt, and looking for political and fiscal reasons for it to be evaluated.
I'm afraid not. There are quite a few 8-bit serial port devices in use. 9600-e-7-1 is common, 115200-8-n-1 is common as well and seems to work better with international keyboards. The point remains that they vary, and that communications, even between programs on the same machine, may use byte lengths not reflected by the underlying OS's architecture.
But it's not communicating between different platforms. Or rather, it need not be. The amount of hardware on which a byte equals 8 buts, but still use '9600-7-e-1' or 9600 baud, 7-bit, even parity, one stop bit serial communications on their primary serial port is quite large, even if they're only talking to another such machine. And irrelevant of the internal computation byte size, most machines have to deal with flat ASCII text, which is typically 8-bit bytes.
My point is that byte size is also protocol dependent for all sorts of communications, even platform specific ones.
Also, keep in mind that the staff can and will encourage students to lie on evaluation forms, to make their school look better, get better incoming freshmen, get their degrees taken more seriously, etc.
It's easier, and safer. Telling them to cram it works fine for PirateBay, but YouTube and Wikipedia have home offices where their assets can be much more easily seized and their businesses shut down. They also have the option of putting the material back up when the lawyers have gone over it, which both of them have done in various instances.
Fortunately, for really interesting shutdown material, theres's Wikileaks. I'm very pleased with them for publishing material that we do need to know about, but which is often unavailable due to legal and illegal harassment, such as Scientology documents.
For penalties to work, you have to have a chance in court of making your opponent actually care. Nielsen is a pretty big company, with a lot of investment from various media companies. Trying to sue them, like suing the Scientologists, is begging to have your money burned up in court to no good purpose with endless appeals and time-wasting tactics and ongoing harassment.
On the other hand, Nielsen does not have Lisa Marie Presley to pay their legal bills. (Scientology does.) So they might care more about wasting money and be less likely to pursue ongoing harassing lawsuits.
I've worked with Autodesk, years ago: it seemed fine for mechanical work, but was useless for electrical design. And as near as I can tell, Sage is just a reseller for Autodesk. Is it really useful for electrical schematic capture and circuit layout?
Thank you: and to correct my own post, I should have said 'djpdns, daemontools,a nd qmail'. Dan's unique licensing terms caused trouble for the general use of all of them. He's relented now, but it's effectively too late.
It has to be worked out by you, your employer, your funding body, your university policies, and everybody's egos and lawyers. Any one of them can wind up preventing the sensible others from a sensible answer, especially federal regulatory policy on publicly funded research.
I prefer to use GPL myself, and encourage my employers to do so. It's well documented, easy to follow, and there is now a reasonable body of case law to work with. Whatever you do, don't invent your own, special, unique license. Dan Bernstein did that, and it helped keep djbdns, daemontools, and djbdns from becoming default system components in any OS distribution that I've ever worked with, despite their technical advantages over most other such tools.
If you can inject and use a transmitter this way, in real life, I've got at least 2 Nobel Prizes lined up and waiting for you. If you go all the way back to college biology, it's not polite to stuff probes directly into nerves and tends to damage them. But if the probe isn't in, or right against the nerve, the electrical noise from all the others swamps it. And there is no known solution to the problem.
Except that it's nonsense. There's a decent analysis at http://torrentfreak.com/comcast-throttles-bittorrent-traffic-seeding-impossible/comment-page-20 . What they were actually doing was far more subtle than merely counting and blocking connections: they were forging packets to pretend the connection was there, but confusing the client about it so that it would keep trying the dead connection and not go on to another one. That's intentionally interfering with high-number-of-random-connection services such as Bittorrent, in a way that doesn't affect other traffic anywhere near so awfully.
True in my experience. Every one of the 3 distinct 'Outlook Connnectors' I've tried fail in practice. I don't know whether it's because of the complexity, or whether Microsoft changes Outlook just to break connectors, or it's just that they're added on at the end of projects as an afterthought, but they break down badly under load and they mess up your mail folders.
Any system that require a 'connector' on the client is not a drop-in replacement.
CAD software is a big one. So is accounting software: switching to an unstable open source is almost as bad as switching to closed source where the vendor goes out of business.
They already tried having the telecoms run the EFF, when Jerry Berman ran it for a few years. Berman moved them to DC, went to a lot of expensive lunches with expensive lobbyists, accepted a pittance of lobbying money and signed off on the TeleCommunications Decency Act. It took getting rid of Berman, moving again, and years of scrubbing all the surfaces to get his greasy fingerprints off of their policies.
I'm delighted to see them trying to act against this kind of thing, now, and consider it an excellent sign of their recovery from Berman's leadership.
They're both wealthy children of privilege. If you don't believe that helps you get degrees from Ivy League schools, then you've never had to pay your own tuition out of your own pocket. And the younger Bush has a wonderful history of somehow avoiding any active duty while picking up his coke and alcohol habits. The younger, at least, is exactly who you don't want in a free remote course claiming college affiliations.

That's trademark, not copyright. It's a whole different ballpark there.
You'd rather date someone smarter than you? They either tend to be tough to find, or unwilling to date you.

Because the nineties dotcom boom is calling, they want royalties for reprinting their business plans?

Oh, you'd be surprised. It's amazing what you can see in data formats such as serial communications.

Nope, he studied 'not showing up and taking credit for it' from his National Guard duty.
