I'm saying that while you are "separated" and no longer in a sexual relationship with your legal spouse, you can still be accused of cheating in a court of law.
This seems like a hard sell if you already have divorce papers being filed? Can it still make a difference?
I can think of a few reasons. Maybe there are children involved, and the divorce would harm the children emotionally or possibly deny one parent access to their children.
So it's better for the children to see you cheat on their other parent?
Maybe there is a risk of alimony payments. Maybe there is a risk of losing a house, car, or other very valuable property.
This won't happen if you get caught and sued for divorce?
Except that in certain countries, such as the US, then your partner can use this as a motivation for divorce and get a larger part of the pie than if he/she simply asked for it without motivation.
I was thinking more along the lines of a contractual ok. For that matter, would you agree that if your partner is asking for divorce, they are dissatisfied?
This may earn me some negaitve karma, but so be it.
Oh yes, because people who cheat are ALWAYS bad, and it has nothing to do with the fact that their partner might be completely unsuitable for them and/or positively damaging to them. I *love* black and white morality. I thought we had some people that appreciate shades of grey on/.
If you want to have sex with more than one person while married; nothing stops you from laying out your preferences beforehand, why wouldn't you ask your partner and get their ok?
Well even if the key is just coded into your application, it still means they have to decompile it (C#, C++, C), or just parse it (PHP, Python(non-frozen)). If you kept the key inside an innocuously named file inside your application's structure, with unclear variable names; that would still be a big jump in security.
Why would it rule out open source databases? As long as you do the encryption inside your application, even sqlite is plenty secure.
I think you'll find that it's some "analyst" who is saying there is a "70% chance" that Apple will do this. Apple themselves have said nothing of the sort, and probably quite rightly have determined that search engines are non of their concern.
Apple don't want to do anything - some analyst desperate to validate his existence and paycheck decided to make up a wild claim that he cannot possibly prove. What is he basing his 70% figure on? It's not like he has any prior history of a computer maker being suddenly successful with a phone and then deciding to release a search engine. It's just nonsense.
You're absolutely right; but memory tells me that Apple habitually denies everything right up to the point where they do it. If Apple had decided to pursue this, events from our perspective would look exactly the same as they do now.
I love your solution to disagreeing with behavior by the Obama Administration: Join an organization started by members of Obama's Presidential campaign. You are worried about the tea party being taken over by special interests, so you suggest joining an organization that is basically just a subsidiary of the Democratic Party (which you seem to believe, likely correctly, is run by special interests).
Precisely, join up and outnumber the original members. At that point, the organization is yours.
Lots of demo software is designed to stop working entirely after the demo period expires. The concept of doing this gradually over time seems, if anything, more humane.
I suggest we roll over and go back to sleep -- or at least save our angst for worthy matters.
Let's try this with a car analogy. Do you want a car that works fine for several days then suddenly won't start, or one that will lose features over time? Which one is more humane?
Yeah, but that is an advantage if you're capable of buying it very cheap. Even a low sale price could be profitable, more so if something happens to make the tower go away before the apartment. There's nothing that can happen with the tower to make you lose money.
Remember that it's not so bad to leave a country to do business elsewhere. When I worked in Naples, I would not get almost any pay. Yes, I was a kid and I was supposed to work for my father, but I wanted something off from it. If it doesn't work like you want to, you go somewhere where it does.
The fact that he's moving is not the problem. The problem is that his staff have been working unpaid in order for the company to recover.
Actually I'm asking slashdot. How I am supposed to fight the cheapo crappy pizza places when I offer quality pizzas? Does it matter to keep quality? What you love about pizza?
They really are completely delusional. What benefit does this provide to the consumers that they'll react positively to? Is there even any theoretical benefit to the consumer? Maybe the research was done entirely among Sony executives.
At this point, it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that one or more of the Sony executives are in the pay of their competition. It would make perfect sense.
If you lived in Romania, you could pay to use your apartment's fiber-optic line via an Ethernet connection. For $4 Euro per month, my friend gets uncapped transfers that max out to 10MB/s inside the country. The very worst speeds I've seen were 500kb/s while there.
Now you could say "But we have many more people", well yes, but this is a country who was communist not too long ago. You also have much more money. For example, a good wage is $10,000 euro per year for a skilled worker with a degree. So at this point, I'd state it's a matter of will, not expense that we don't have these things in Australia and America.
Make the companies do it, they will either succeed; or go bankrupt. If they go down, then their monopoly will be broken and smaller local ISPs will spring up and be forced to actually compete. Either way, people will benefit.
Off course anyone can spend their time in whatever way they want, but we have to differentiate hobbyists trying to run NetBSD on their toaster, or developing firewire drivers for AmigaOS, from real Free Software developers actually building apps for the real world.
I wish those real software developers building their apps for the real world the best of luck. Here in the unreal world we use software for reasons other than because we feel really, really strongly about the license it's under. Here those unreal software developers are really helpful in building software that helps us achieve our objectives.
So, Nvidia writes drivers for your system, and those drivers work. What's the problem? This is hardly a new situation, so presumably you knew this when you bought your Nvidia chipset.
I don't think highway operators in this country have ever been compelled or encouraged to stop grand theft auto, or interstate smuggling of stolen goods... Or that phone companies have been expected to prevent con artists from swindling people out of their money to buy "beach-side" Florida swamp land. Et cetera. This would appear to be unprecedented.
Actually it's a bit worse than that, because "permission of the copyright holder" is code for "our permission". Independent publishers crop up occasionally with stories of being banned from publishing their own songs because they lack "permission from the copyright holder". The RIAA doesn't check it owns the actual rights in the first place, and it will blanket ban with no appeal if it gets the chance.
RIAA just won't quit will they. Their idea would require ISP's to spend money, they don't even want to spend money to upgrade their networks to deal with increased load.
Wow good point. Every cloud has a silver lining then.
I agree, and let me add I always thought Freenet's model was onto something. It's very failure proof and it caches static content. Which unfortunately is everything. But there's probably a way to get something wiki-like using the current message board implementation, providing one had an application that could interpret the data from a dedicated board.
Oh so now they are going to discuss censorship with the Chinese. And they didn't decide to do this before? And it never occurred to them that the intelligence agencies of foreign governments would spy on them?
Well no. Why would it? They operate in many countries including England, Australia, Russia and Japan. This isn't exactly a common problem and the really big problem isn't the agencies spying on them, but that they're doing it ham-handedly and causing problems.
It's fair enough that every country would try to insure it's self protection by acquiring information, but there are standards of subtlety here.
...But if no one is living there, do the "crimes" committed there really harm anyone? Really, if someone was, say, 5 miles from anyone and it was all their own property and they got high, publicly drunk, did every type of drug imaginable, discharged low-power rifles with a range of less than 5 miles, set off fireworks, played music cursing at a very high volume, and did just about every type of crime able to be committed in that time, would it harm anyone other than themselves? No.
Slave Trading, Drug Smuggling, Drug Manufacture, Terrorist Training Facilities, Anti-Government Organization Headquarters; these are actual examples of things going on in otherwise developed countries that can't patrol their entire area.

This won't happen if you get caught and sued for divorce?
I'm guessing that you've never been through the potentially multiple years long and extremely expensive process.
You're saying that it makes more sense to go behind your partner's back than to tell them because it's too hard to be straight?
Except that in certain countries, such as the US, then your partner can use this as a motivation for divorce and get a larger part of the pie than if he/she simply asked for it without motivation.

It would still be irritating and you would start to dislike them just a little bit more every time you lost a feature.
