I see your point but if you look at the data with Max zoom (forgot to mention that), it's a completely different world after 02/25 (for US, Google Search). It's not nearly that clear for Canada.
I mailed this to them after gleaning over this thread quickly. I know it wasn't really that well put together but I spent like 1 minute on it. It's funny nonetheless:
Subject: Do you realize that your lawyers has screwed you ?
Trademarks doesn't work the way you think. Go to the quackery exposure site and check your self: http://www.quackometer.net/?suspectquack=Dr+Ann+de+Wees+Allen
Stop encumbering the patent office with useless quackery. It's supposed to handle real patents.
Your lawyers should have warned you that your trademark in not enforceable the way you think it can. The only thing it protects you from is trying to sell a similar service with your name as the seller. And even then it's going to be hard. Hahahaha.

Epic. So they managed to sue other people than those trying to leech off her name or what ?
What about some sort of web service where you can download tidbits of random data to overwrite unused blocks on your drive ? Doesn't even have to be random all the time; it could be pieces of non copyrighted material for instance. So if anyone ask why you have random data, then you can say 'oh, thats just some stuff from the internet i downloaded'. That would be better than leaving your current unused blocks with pieces of your old deleted data too. If this became common, completely random data wold be unsuspicious. And on top of that it could be used as part of a disk-checking software to test your disk much like memcheck./2cent
Not old, but experienced. Frustrated with throwing away working stuff and rebuild from scratch projects that did it's job perfectly yesterday and has little to gain by jumping the bandwagon just for the sake of being on a bandwagon. Maintenance and incremental improvements is the True Way. No matter how old your framework culture is. In most cases, 'new' improvements can be bridged instead with some nifty 'old' techniques.
Let people play with new toys at home if they so wish, and bring it to work when it's refined and become a true seamless upgrade to what is already working. We don't need to use our workplaces as playgrounds for the latest buzzcrap and have us coders be trapped over weekends on end because some new fancy piece of shit component screwed up production.
Not all of us coders enjoy coding anymore after a few years in the grind and we would rather not fuck with everything just because some pointy haired dumbass needs jumping AJAX balls. It's a job like any grocery store cashier (and in many cases, they pay the same. God bless their extremely important work btw, they distribute food and not stupid canvases in a browser.), and we'd prefer as little extra work as possible. Buzzwords became the law of my office land and the hipster newfags ended up screwing everything up time after time. None of them had any spare time. Had to log on from vacations, beeing on call 24/7. Debugging some new shit from a hotel room in Ibiza. Losing their wives & arguing with them over the phone from the office. I was lucky to be stuck with some tasks that really couldn't take too much upgrading yet, but it was coming my way and I bailed.
Oh yeah, I quit my coding job to do something completely else. I reached my goal wich was getting a higher education followed by starting a professional coding career. I wish I knew coders would be less appreciated than sewer rats before I got into it. Back then it had a promising future, bordering the status of pilots and doctors with a paycheck to back it up. Maybe one day I will code for fun again. Still too scarred by the grind. You know, writing code because its enjoyable.
Either because the pun in question concerns swallows not pigeons, or pun is just too obvious wich is my bet. How a Monthy Python joke can be redundant is beyond me though.
Let them shell out for some old graphics calculators. Tell them it's just a couple of days of weed/booze/entertainment consumption anyways, they surely find the money for that. If they're interested, it wont be a problem.There must be some retailer somewhere who has a bunch of older models in a box somewhere.
Other than that, students has to respect the language of the college,and by now they would surely have had the chance to buy, you know, a dictionary. (yes a book).
Third, you can get fancy and make a few sets of tests with slightly different parameters for each question. (ie Sally gets x=4 and y=7 while Rodriguez gets x=3 and y=6; what is the sum of x squared and y squared) That will take away the usefulness of communicating during the exam.
I'd say that 90% of the world are _convinced_ they believe in some god because they where brainwashed with it from early age. It's simply culturally accepted child molestation of the mind which is harder to prove than physical harm. If there was a law that prohibited people from influencing children with these outrageous ideas, religions would see a rapid decline in membership. It would be hard to convert someone who thought for themselves for 21 years, then to be presented with the idea that there is a man in the sky that designed this world. Religion needs an age of consent.
When are people gonna learn NOT TO USE PAYPAL FOR ANYTHING IMPORTANT. He should have withdrawn little by little until he could afford a more serious merchant scheme like VISA. People who wish to do online shopping should dedicate a small account in their bank to link with their credit card so even if they get scammed of their info, it will still have a small impact. Also put a credit limit on the card so it cant be overdrawn. Regularly you pull money from your 'online' bank account to your main account. Too much work ? Well, it can cost you 600K euros. No-brainer.
Come on, PayPal must be legendary for their shady practices by now.
It would not help. I have made several expeditions to the big blue room, and the inhabitants claim that they are willing to sacrifice their privacy for their freedom. Yes, as long as they feel threatened by terrorists and whatnot, they are more than willing to be routinely strip searched for no other reason than 'just to be safe'. They actually feel proud in the fact that they have nothing to hide from their authorities, and will assist them to feel good.
Yeah the vets that got nothing but piss in their faces when they came back. Many of them are homeless morphine addicts and as a result, they are now small time criminals because there was no health care system to take care of them. They don't have the strength and willpower to fuck anyone up, lest old ladies with their purses. You could argue that they volunteered to go to Nam and so they asked for trouble, but I believe the controlled media propaganda at the time made it really easy for them to make that choice.
Assange is in the evidence business, trying to make Obama, his administration, and your government stand for their shady actions based on secret facts. There won't ever be any evidence without people like this and hot spy chicks are on the top 5 of any character assassination protip list. (Remember the Russian spy chicks caught in the US recently?) To me this is 2+2. Judging from previous US government behavior, this would not even be a remotely questionable course of action on their part.
Archimedes definetively didn't suck back in the day when IBM PC's was a joke and even high powered Amiga's couldn't compete with the Archie. I was fortunate to know one of the best assembler coders on the Archie demo scene and it was not even funny how fast it could go. Too bad it's was not a success, it died silently along with the Amiga due to PC's getting better graphics cards.
AFAICR, my Amiga 1000 had an Exit function in the top RMB menu wich would kill all apps and leave you with a blank screen. They you could turn off the Amiga. (Not that it took any damage from just turning it off!)
our sons and daughters serving as war fighters
Your sons and daugthers who die because of this leak died for an even greater reason than the one presented to them by their government.
Thing is, if everyone had free energy, it would be fucking hard to corner the market. There are probably secret matter-energy converters in existence and they remain secret because "war for resources" and nationalism is a tried and true method of population control.
As always, people everywhere are fired up and ready to fight the Governments as they do every time they have their freedoms and rights lose another piece. People will drag the fascists out of their offices and burn them on stakes. Peace will come upon Earth and a new world order of the People will rule. The Mexico Gulf oil spill will be cleaned, and tasers will be banned.

Ignorance is an excuse as long as there is no law classes in the public school system. You cant assume people just 'know' law.

Look at the Traffic chart ( http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/traffic/ ) Seems to be a huge peak and after that general activity falls quite a bit compared to before that date ?
Who is to say they didn't accept money under the table from other tax evading millionaires ?

damn, that was some rant. im done now. thanks.
Absolutely. Financial crime/grey area exploitation/loopholing hurts society in wider and in a much more sinister way than few blatant bombs.
Either because the pun in question concerns swallows not pigeons, or pun is just too obvious wich is my bet. How a Monthy Python joke can be redundant is beyond me though.
What if he got hammered on taxfree booze and shuriken'ed his pilots and the plane went down over a japanese school ?
