I don't think your assertion holds water. The right to free speech and assembly are guaranteed. No matter who utters the speech, there are indeed consequences, but the consequences suffered by the government of the City of Anniston might be embarrassment, whistleblowing, and lots of speech that are quite protected. They're not a private employer, they're a public employer, and even government employees have personal lives, although certain parts of their speech can be constrained by federal law-- and are.
This is irresponsible overreach on the part of their city council. It won't stand up; there's lots of precedent that protect the employees.
The UEC combination has gotten decent ratings if you want to put your anti-Canonical prejudices aside. Dell hardware ain't all that bad these days.... the combo is a damn sight cheaper than buying a fat HP box with VMware on it..... and you get to reuse some of your code on AWS.
Yes, there are clean, virginal, can-wear-white-at-the-wedding implementations, too. This one uses kvm, if memory serves, and beats threading the whole thing together yourself.
There are states that allow consequential damages, which this litigation might, MIGHT fall under. Judges have also looked at ToS and slammed the gavel, too. The only lesson out of this might be to have an API kit, like a socialDAV, where you could extract your content with some kind of LDAP/LIPS listing to migrate it to the next new cool engine. But that'll be unlikely to happen.
I did read it. That's why my FB participation is locked down tight. I use a separate browser instance exclusively for FB-- it's the only reasonable way.
Go look at the Facebook user agreement page. The judge will, as it's the binding contract. Then he'll throw it out of court with prejudice. It ought to be required reading for all of its users, who gloss it and just start friending their merry way.
I didn't say the votes didn't count. I said that their voting seems to have a nominal influence, and there are very few Islamic focused issues in local, regional, or national debates.
The same could be said for Christian Scientists, or Orthodox Jews.
Not so. To some degree, the term "Muslim state" is a misnomer. There are places like Jordan, Indonesia, Malaysia, all with varying degrees of public participation in government, and histories of suppression. Some are pretty dangerous, like Iran. Some seem secular, but are very willing to exploit indigenous peoples (Turkey and the Kurds and Armenians) as an example. But the US has done it, too, as a healthy portion of states have indigenous peoples reservations.
There are lots of Muslims in Germany, but not enough to make a change in government. In Lebanon, it's been a mixed bag for decades now. For a short time, Lebanon was the beacon of multi-religious tolerance, Christian, Muslim, Druze, etc. Now, Hezbollah is calling the shots, perhaps firing them, too.
Some Muslims argue that other ostensible Islamic factions aren't Muslim, are infidels, and treat them accordingly. It's a mess.
It's nice to fashion traps, bows, and arrows. They get to eat some of the kill, too, to continue your metaphor.
But I'll use mine: those the believe that life falls in your lap, and if you wait long enough, your turn will come, will find an empty lap and the fact that fairness tends to favor those that step up. I didn't say: cut in the queue, or cheat. Getting away from the game console, putting your nose up for the pRon, ditching Facebook, whatever works--> and pursue happiness, destiny, and choice with dignity and style.
Probably not hard to prove the loss. Your name in a commercial for (insert money-bag advertiser here) means you weren't compensated for your personal recommendation. They pay actors... and therefore, unapproved endorsements might also be libel, as well.
I don't think this one flies. Add copyright + user upheaval + unintended endorsement + conversion of assets and this makes the lawyers rich one more time.
Perceiving the value of education is important, but all these things point towards motivation. I'll take a motivated engineer or coder any day. You can rapidly tell the difference between those that want life on a platter, and those that want to grab it by the tail hang on, and go for the wild ride.
The armed forces help some get their personal organization together and shows them a lot of variety, but any self-starter has an advantage. Those that want to do a traditional 9-5 or otherwise succumb to being a wage slave don't get very far... and then wonder why.
A key factor is that motivation comes from pursuing a life within a discipline/multidisciplinary pursuits. You have to like, or better still, love what you're doing to be really good at it. And to reap a financial harvest, you have to have at least a bit of business training/experience. But success isn't money. Success is a lot more than simple cash.
Stand up 100 Google users and ask HOW MANY actually read that tome? How many actually trust Google to do what they say in side of their ToS? Or Microsoft or Yahoo or heaven forbid, Facebook?
Evil isn't really negotiable. Loss of dignity through loss of privacy is evil. Submitting to that evil is a mistake, but people do it anyway. This is why I don't use Google for anything more than things I don't care about. Real business is done under other auspices. But that's me.
Google analystics are used in a lot of places that users have no clue about. They didn't get a choice.
Search is only one facet of what Google does. They make revenues in a number of ways. Some of them are onerous, as they rob people of privacy. I don't see the same benevolent Google that others do, and the ostensible do-no-evil mantra seems vacuous to me.
What's happening today is PR spin, rather than news, as my observation.
The actual numbers are different, but Apple wouldn't need to pay the entire amount, just gain control. Not that they would, not that I'm suggesting they do that.
In terms of slaying the Redmond dragon, they're two organizations that would love to do that. Google has done its level best to make Ballmer sweat. Google's done more to change Microsoft than Microsoft.
But in terms of zealotry and maniacal ecosystem building, Apple and Google are on the same wavelength, just run in different ways. Apple is like Bulgaria before the end of the Soviet Union. Google is like Yugoslavia. Sorry for the bad analogies, but their common desire is to make money and give Microsoft heartburn.
Didn't say they weren't making money. They have tons of income. It's profitable. Part of their cache is a fat stock price. You're seeing the defense of that stock price. I'm saying nothing more than that.
I'm not hating at all. You're swallowing the kool-aid of an enormous post-clash push to give the public the concept that Schmidt's departure as CEO is a good thing.
Larry Page has little identity, where Schmidt was the 'face' of most of Google's public posture. Schmidt is gone, and now we're being fed stories about what he should do, how cool his stripes are, a few stories about his $200M yacht (just so that we know he can do Paul Allen stuff) and so on.
Every time Google's stock price drops, there are lots of institutional investors that look at that, and ponder whether to leave or not. Jobs leaving when he did, was bolstered by what Hunter Thompson would call, KING HELL EARNINGS REPORT so as to buoy Apple's stock. This is ALL ABOUT keeping that stock price hopping, and doing damage control. There's no hate in what I say, rather the observation of the facts.
Google -> Apple? Apple is one of four companies to buy Google, having sufficient cash to do the job-- and perhaps the only one that could really digest it without an intellectual tummy ache.
Some of those files are covered by Sun's public license.
No one's found them YET on android phones. I suppose it's possible. Remember: there's a lot of contention about how Sun licensed these files, and whether or not they were used in Android to begin with, and if they were, if they were distributed as payloads.
These files were found by Mueller, if you RTFAs, on the Dev tree. Has anyone from Oracle/Sun decompiled phone payloads yet? Seems as though there are lots of details to decide before the finger pointing is over with.
Oracle's trying to lever a fat royalty check out of Google's BigBank. There'll be a lot of posturing, then a deal will be struck, and we'll move on.
The waffling component of this is perhaps the most frustrating. I would rather NOT hear the cellphone conversations on board for sanity sake. Yet the variance in policy implementation among the carriers is a breeding ground for grumbling.
And your knowledge of avionics engineering standards gives you this precious opinion? I, too, dislike what seems like BS and a fire drill for onboard electronics. Yet there are thousands of devices that passengers can carry onto aircraft that were designed and made before cellphones existed, before WiFi, before HD DVD players, etc. The proliferation of passenger devices is beyond our wildest 1980 dreams.
I'll admit forgetting to turn off my phone, or accidently running wifi while having my laptop open in the unbelievably small space alloted. Nothing crashed.
Could it? I haven't seen older aircraft with WiFi onboard for-sale. I've seen incredibly noisy old-fashioned CRTs hanging on international 777s and 747s.
The big crime: the FAA and FCC ought to know the answer in CERTAINTY and enough with the bullshit. And shame on you for your categorical pronounciation.
Sadly, among other things, the Internet and forums have become the big crying rag for many things you weren't supposed to do, gone wrong, as you cite. They'll aim the pistol between metatarsil #1 and 2, and pull the trigger, then complain about subsequent need for crutches. So it goes.

Sun -> Oracle.
Novell -> Attachmate (pending).
Google -> Apple? Apple is one of four companies to buy Google, having sufficient cash to do the job-- and perhaps the only one that could really digest it without an intellectual tummy ache.
No, the whole thing is a PR sham to make you believe that the change doesn't mean anything. Now, the 'good guys' are back in charge.
Puhleeze.
This is an over-capitalized corporation trying to convince the world that the stock price is ok, don't sell, don't short, believe in the magic, etc.
Speculation about Schmidt's change is pretty meaningless. He left Sun. He left Novell. Now he's in semi-retirement at Google.
Next.
Perhaps they were.
Some of those files are covered by Sun's public license.
