But the rant is true in this case too. (It's a fortiori.) If you can barely regulate an ISP in the US, then surely you can't regulate an ISP at all anywhere else.
Why is Facebook's technique not called HTML5? I guess they're not serving it up to everybody, but when they detect an iPad, are they purposely avoiding the video tag and using the object tag instead?
Obama might find a liberal like Stevens who can replace his ideological position, but where's he going to someone with the negotiation skill, influence, and...oh yes... seniority to make liberal opinions and liberal majorities happen?
I think it's the fact that students these days are now first taught to program in Java, and very few spend any time gaining experience in C. I'm TA'ing a class in database internals this semester, and the class project is to implement a simple DBMS in C/C++, and about half the class is having a hard time because they're unfamiliar with the C++ programming. (And if you ask them to eschew OOP to program in straight C, there are probably even less people who could handle it.) The skills just aren't as common as they once were.
It's not gridlock. At most major streets, a constant stream of oncoming cars prevents people from making left turns until they all pass. When do they finally all pass? When the light turns red, stopping them. Only if you're in the intersection at that point, will you get your chance to make a left turn.
They really should have left-turn lanes and protected left turn lights like they do in California.
Isn't this an example of the market choosing a winner? Google could afford to make this free, and we still don't even know whether half of the browser vendors out there will bite. Even if they do, it could take a while for browsers supporting VP8 to penetrate the market.
Way back when, there was a relational database named Postgres that used a query language called QUEL. As SQL caught on, they had to support it, so they replaced the QUEL support with SQL support and renamed the database PostgreSQL. This is the database that we use today.
The whole joke is that they're going retro.
(Anyone who actually wants to try out an implementation of QUEL can use Ingres, which is also open source now.)
How is talking on a hands-free phone any different from talking to the guy in the passenger seat? (In fact, I'd probably be safer on hands-free phone than I am when I'm talking to a date and tempted to look at her while I talk.)
They should read it into the record of any parliament that they have seats in -- legislators (at least in the US, and I assume other countries too) have immunity from arrest for speech made as part of their legislative business. If they desire to declassify this information, then doing it in a way that's clearly part of their legislative business is the best way to keep the information public.
Use vonage, set it to ring an IP phone at home as well as your cell phone at the same time. Then you can pick up whichever has reception/is convenient.
The Jews who define death as "when the heart stops beating" are hardly a small minority. Ha'aretz has an article detailing the history of the dispute in Israel.
On one side of the dispute, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef (the leader of Sephardic jewry, a group which comprises about half of the religious Jews in Israel) has ruled that according to Jewish law a person is considered dead at the time brain stem activity ceases.
On the other side of the dispute, Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv (the leader of Lithuanian jewry, also a very significant group in Israel, though I suspect it's smaller than the Sephardic jews) has ruled that according to Jewish law a person is considered dead when the heart stops beating.
It's also important to note that Israel has no requirement that the Chief Rabbinate agree to a bill in order for it to pass or become law. Israel's government is a secular parliamentary democracy (structured similarly to many European governments), and the Knesset (parliament) has unlimited legislating authority, without even the limitations or checks and balances provided by a written constitution. However becuase of the large population of religious Jews in Israel, it's good politics to listen to consider what their religious authorities have to say when drafting laws that may be affected by Jewish law.
A root exploit means that the attacker has complete control over the machine. It doesn't matter how important the system is or what they do with it. I just wanted to point out that an attacker who gets root over a dedicated webserver can still do undesirable things with it (in contrast to my parent poster who said that having root over a dedicated web server is no big deal). I'm not blurring distinctions
You can still have undesirable security issues on dedicate web hosting servers, for three reasons. One: a remote root exploit allows the intruder to replace all of the data on your site with whatever malware/adware they feel like, or even post content to slander you. Two: they can still turn your web server into a spambot, something which is undesirable (or use it as a starting point for whatever other malicious attacks they feel like.)
Terrorism concerns, money laundering, etc... (though there's no specific concern with remittances per-se, governments do want to know where money is coming from and where it's going to look for suspicious terror.)

Not to mention you'll ruin your microwave by putting metal in it.
Why would they want to do that if we all know that Apple's iPad is based on a Dual-core Power chip?
Why did they start designing copy machines to have long term storage, and to keep a copy of everything ever copied?
Trinath Chigurupati, a 36-year-old Indian citizen living in Monmouth Junction, was arrested at his home Wednesday and released on $150,000 bail.
I think that's a pretty good statement that a foreign citizen was involved.

It didn't make sense and it still doesn't. It's an Antifeature.

Nobody would ever be able to make a left turn in Chicago if they had to be out of the intersection when the light turns red.
Well, if the Chicago police are saying "we tried it and it doesn't work", I'd listen to them rather than the company.
People here just don't understand the difference between persuasive precedent and binding precedent, and they make this mistake repeatedly.
The summary here misses the whole joke.

And CPR is ressurection? I think not.
I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that according to these rabbis, death occurs when the heart stops and can't be restarted.
The Jews who define death as "when the heart stops beating" are hardly a small minority. Ha'aretz has an article detailing the history of the dispute in Israel.

Actually, it's not OK when google does it either. You raise a good point though. Maybe we should "Borg" Google as well.
