Our current music sotre uses Windows Media technology to play our music files. Unfortunately that means our songs are incompatible with your operating system. Furthermore, Aple's iTunes FairPlay system is currently not available to us for use with iPods.
We'd love to offer our music to Mac users, and we are currently working to offer content in new formats.
Ah, comme ça vous êtes sur Mac. Sauf que...
Merci de votre visite.

CIPA = constitutional; CIPA mandates school internet filtering; therefore schools are required to have internet filters Schools are required to have internet filters; Stories about false positives were to prevent schools/libraries/etc. getting internet filters; therefore the issue of false positives is moot and can't do much good The issue of false positives is moot with regard to school filtering; there are few other reasons to give media exposure to such stories; therefore such media exposure is now rarer than before
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. There's a HUGE difference between a feature not being enabled and a feature not being implemented. You honestly think that your SEEM edit amounted to you writing a machine-level implementation of the communications protocol between the phone and the voicemail server? There are entirely new kinds of data being represented in visual voicemail. In order for it to work, the voicemail system HAS to be able to let you GET the information visual voicemail requires. Heck, not even all voicemail systems record the caller's phone number, let alone communicate it to phone devices.
If all you've done is SEEM editing, and you've never implemented a brand new application-layer protocol, then STFU. There are LOTS of things you have to take into account, foresight you have to use for later expandability (proposed future features: Notifications that a message is short with little noise or little hesitation, indicating either a hangup or a short "Hey it's John Smith, call me back" message; "urgent" message marking; hell, even some point in the future after processors get fast enough and sadhi processing gets good enough, a Gmail-like preview of the first sentence...). Some of these would either require that your first implementation be really well-thought-out and well-implemented, or that you replace the first system entirely.
The grandparent is not correct. He said that viruses don't have DNA. He did not say that viruses don't generally have DNA if they also have RNA. Those statements are not equivalent, and he is not correct.
It's not the laws which invade our privacy so much as the executive itself. The NSA doesn't require a law to stop wiretapping American citizens; as an executive agency, a Presidential order is sufficient. Ditto FBI, CIA, DHS, Cabinet Departments, etc. Also, Presidents appoint Supreme Court justices, which are the ultimate arbiters of what privacy rights exist in the United States of America and last bulwark against their impingement.
The posters who keep insisting that Presidential stances on privacy are inconsequential are dangerously ill-informed. Please don't spread misinformation.
PS - Yes, the Senate confirms SCOTUS nominees, but as the saying goes, there are two ways a Supreme Court nominee is confirmed: 51-49 and 100-0.
The OSx86 project is far more than "kernel hacking." Nothing whatsoever prevents you from hacking Darwin as much as you want. Admittedly, it would have been less ambiguous for them to prohibit unlawful or unlicensed copies of an Apple-branded operating system, or a commercially available Apple operating system, but its meaning is clear enough to stand up in court if they were to sue you for hacking on Darwin.
Semthex's OSx86 project may be out-of-luck-ish (I don't know the OS X EULA - if running OS X on non-Apple hardware doesn't trigger the "unlawful or unlicensed" condition, then it seems fine to me).
Incidentally, Apple's legal department isn't that great. As far as I know, they still haven't updated the AppleCare terms and conditions to cover displays bought with MacBooks and MacBook Pros. "Apple covers the Covered Equipment and one Apple branded display if purchased at the same time and registered with a covered Mac mini, PowerBook, or Power Mac computer." Apple Computer, AppleCare Protection Plan Section 1(a)(i), available athttp://www.apple.com/legal/applecare/appna.pdf.
PS - Anyone know why the section symbol ( ), entity §, isn't showing up?
Liberals tend to have more testosterone than conservatives, if for no other reason than the general age difference (younger people tend to have more testosterone and be less conservative). Also, gay men tend to have the same and sometimes more testosterone, and larger hypothalmuses, than straight men.
Not for professional graduate degrees. The very top law schools don't have merit aid, and most of the top twenty or so who do don't offer very much. What is offered is meant to lure the best students away from higher-ranked schools, and it's offered very stingily. I imagine that an MBA or an MD is similar.
An alternative definition is: a radical authoritarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, totalitarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism. (taken from wikipedia)
Your post above? Corporatism, check. Extreme nationalism, check. Militarism, check. Anti-communism and anti-liberalism? Check and check. All you're lacking is explicit advocacy of the police state that currently says which natural substances you are and aren't allowed to enjoy in the privacy of your own home (not that I'm pro-marijuana, but the fact that the Federal government thinks it should have any authority there is pretty totalitarian).

People who make racist comments should be banned from Slashdot.
People who advocate the killing of other human beings should be banned off this board, plain and simple.

When a lot of the privacy invasions come from executive agencies, the President has a LOT of power.
Hell yes.
FTFA: "But be careful - tampering with a passport is punishable by 25 years in prison."
Also, only TFA works. The other links are bogus.
Do Texans tell you to "expect a letter in the post"? That doesn't sound like a Texan to me.
FRCP 12(b)(6) the thing. Plaintiff has not stated a claim upon which relief can be granted. Then you're done.

Our social norms have veered toward preferring men who have less hair on their chests, and therefore less male hormone.
Natural selection, that's all. Move along, nothing to see here.

I thought the burden of proof was usually on the guy who asserts something.

There's no grammatical mistake. Grammar and spelling are not the same thing. And you're a pedantic douchebag. Play nice.
Most agreements have a provision which provides that any other provision stricken by law does not invalidate the entire agreement.
This is a Slashdot dupe of a New Scientist dupe. The originals (Slashdot post and New Scientist article) were out in March 2005.0 .html
