And even if that wasn't the case, you're using the stupid "A scientist was once wrong so I can ignore any evidence any scientist ever produces argument".
I posed no such argument. In fact, I was just going for "slightly amusing observation."
If I built a commercial network, I would do my best to act in due diligence and with good faith to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Also remember, this isn't a mom-and-pop ISP in the backwoods. Comcast is one of the largest ISPs in the nation, and holds a de facto monopoly on broadband Internet access in many areas.
They shouldn't lose it because their government is shady.
They were shady, as well. "How old are you?" "16." I cannot be convinced that they are completely unaware of the rules or the changes made to their documentation.
The better solution would be disqualification from the next Olympics for those events for China.
I think that disqualification should be an additional punishment, not a replacement.
Let the winners this year keep their metals.
If you break the rules of a game, you have cheated. If you cheat at a game, you're not a winner. Nobody would even blink if their medals were taken away for breaking other rules, such as performance enhancing drugs.
Any abuse a telemarketer gets is deserved in spades.
Let me fix that for you...
Any abuse a human gets is deserved in spades.
To which I say, WTF?
No, you didn't qualify that in a specific enough manner. How about:
Any abuse a human who is disturbing you and your family repeatedly while acting in violation of numerous laws and/or regulations gets is deserved in spades.
Why aren't you in an authoritative role by now, if you're so experienced, talented, knowledgeable and skilled?
I think you answered your own question, there. I don't know what country you're from, but here in the U.S. it is considered bad form to promote individuals with technical expertise or critical experience to management.
Fact that there is to much f*cked up perl code, shows that it is an inferior language.
You're missing a couple boxcars in your logic train.
Just because there is "f*cked up" code in a language, doesn't mean that the language is inferior. For one, the person making the claim that the code is "f*cked up" may have no idea what he's reading.
I meant to imply that students, professors, and publishers would all be involved in a long and complicated fight, not that professors in general would take any particular side. It's obvious by this article alone that professors as a whole can be further broken down into a wide spectrum based upon their views on the subject.
I can see this devolving quickly into a war involving students, publishers, and professors on a very large scale.
How long until we see textbooks being "Licensed" instead of sold? How long until BSA-style crackdowns, complete with SWAT teams and tear gas, on secondhand textbook stores?
Even if all of the real CAs are fixed, how long before the blackhats start selling certs that are signed by their CA, whose certificate is added to people's trusted cert list by their trojan?
If a user's computer is zombified by a trojan, then the list of trusted root CA's in it's browser is far, FAR down on the list of concerns.
this joe six pack brought his gateway home a few months ago from best buy and installed debian. i had to fire up the included vista OS to grab a netinst ISO (i wanted to play in 64 bit land)and imgburn. it took me forever to find where one connects to a LAN, the wizards kept steering me down dead ends. and the DVD wizard apparently has never seen an ISO image let alone let me burn one. come to think of it, if it had come preloaded with xp i would have done the same thing.
Methinks you need to review the local definition of "Joe Sixpack." Hint: People who know of the word "Debian" don't qualify.
I wouldn't go that far. Almost everyone has a friend who "knows computers." Many tech-oriented people hate Vista. When Joe Sixpack asks his tech friend for advice on purchasing a shiny new laptop, chances are the geek may say something akin to "Avoid Vista like the plague." And, if you've ever met Joe Sixpack while working a retail or support job, one-line quips from his geek friend are the infallible word of God.

What, they did away with the "runas" command?
And even if that wasn't the case, you're using the stupid "A scientist was once wrong so I can ignore any evidence any scientist ever produces argument".

Global Cooling was a big theory in the 70s. It's like clothing, the styles recycle themselves if you wait long enough.
The FCC is forcing a certain ISP to stop regulating the Internet. I don't see a problem with that.
If I built a commercial network, I would do my best to act in due diligence and with good faith to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Brilliant.
Did you skip the second two factors?
You clearly have little understanding of the physics, anatomy, or psychology that forms the basis of the age limit.
Hint: It's easier to tumble when you're smaller, more flexible, and have less fear of damaging yourself.
They gave the performance to earn it.
That point is also a debatable topic.

IOC doesn't have an teeth to beat a national government with and no one really would want it to have any either.
I can think of a few fangs the IOC has up its sleeve, if it were willing to brandish them.
"Let us perform an investigation."
"Let us see the previous records."
"Please explain these discrepancies."
And finally:
"No gold for you."
the US is the most staunch defender of free speech
Some may disagree with that
I'll call you on this...
Any abuse a telemarketer gets is deserved in spades.

I had been getting that same EXACT call. "Your factory warranty blah blah blah..."
I finally waited until a human picked up on the other end, and threatened to drown her in a bucket of her mother's blood.
No calls since.

"Does Employee X perform his job in a satisfactory manner?"
Sure, it's subjective.

Or, you can avoid 5 of those steps and just purchase a laptop from a vendor that won't skulldrag you over software issues for their hardware warranty.
For years, the cost of a computer with Windows has generally been comparable to or even less than the cost of one with a free OS or none at all.
Even if all of the real CAs are fixed, how long before the blackhats start selling certs that are signed by their CA, whose certificate is added to people's trusted cert list by their trojan?

I hate to break it to you, but you've stumbled on Mojave. Server 2008 is Vista to the core, minus some of the flair.
Claim that you're purchasing the computer for a company.
