Much as I agree that there will probably be a change in course, rights, once take away, are very slow to return. I can foresee that a new president keen to lose his 'inexperienced' image would be reluctant to take that strong a stand against the powers that be at Langley, etc.
Let me guess - you're white and middle class and live in a nice area. Wake up and smell the coffee. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Talk to anyone from a minority (black, gay, lefty...)
There has been debate about whether Mari influenced Einstein's work; however, most historians do not think she made major contributions.
As to whether he married his cousin - so what? Many of the greats were rather objectionable human beings; we celebrate their achievements, not their weaknesses.
Look, it's easy, you just go on any of the Linux support sites where you'll get lot's of helpful people telling you what a noob you are for not editing/etc/virus.conf properly and then recompiling the kernel and anyway, if you had used the right distro then you could have used apt-get or up2date to download the virus properly and...
More importantly the context makes Mega-dollars $10^6 - however you might have understood this as $2^10. When it's a few bites on a hard disk who cares but when it's hard cash...
At the risk of being overly pedantic the tube train usually refers to the London underground rail system. Salford is up-north (next to Manchester) and not on the underground. Apart from driving (M60) you could use the Manchester tram system, British Rail, the Manchester Ship canal, or various buses.
Absolutely - come round to my house and I'll skin up a joint - we might even share some files I've downloaded. Just don't ask me to blow hash smoke in a policeman's face.
Don't make assumptions and read carefully. I said that you have to pay some regard to the rules. As a frinstance I believe that the laws on the smoking of cannabis in the UK are plain wrong and stupid and encourage the trade and distribution of much more damaging recreational drugs. However, smoking dope in public doesn't get the law changed - it gets me a £50 fine - and that was back in 1971 when £50 was a lot more than it is today. I've spent my time on the barricades, unlike the politically apathetic students of today but, with age comes a certain amount of prudence and I know I have to temper my personal beliefs with those of society at large. Sorry, I'm not Ghandi or MLK, or even Rosa Parks, but then, quite frankly very few of us are.
Could not agree more. Were I in a state where there were a Sharia law in force I would be careful about disrespecting Allah just in the same way that I tend not to blow hash smoke in the face of the British police force. That was my point, and all my point.
As long as we live in society we have to pay some regard to the rules of that society whether they make sense to us or not. My belief that smoking cannabis is harmless doesn't make it legal, my belief that Allah is as meaningful as the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't make it wise to disrespect Allah in strong Muslim countries (ditto bad mouthing Jesus in the Bible Belt) and the GPs disbelief in IP won't protect him/her from the IP laws of whichever country they live in.
Too bad that's a blanket statement as I'm sure there is an unfortunate minority who aren't trying to get a fix and genuinely have a need... It's hard to imagine a legitimate scenario where someone would be forced to use spammers to provide their meds. As for the internet stock scams, or the Nigerian scam, only the greedy will apply.
All in all, I don't think you needed the disclaimer.
For any popularity type contest from American Idol to Big Brother to the election I always look where the money's going. Usually I go to the bookies although I can't at the moment because I'm at work so let's look at who's raised more funding - that makes it look like Obama. Unscientific, but it's how I make my prediction.
I don't know about US law, I'm a Brit, but I do know that if the police decide that they want to make your life a living hell then they can and there's nothing you can do about it. Remember that in court it's always your word against theirs and the courts always believe the police.
People are still buying SUVs Well, err, they are but sales are falling. As an example, this quote from the NYT
Ford, which last month abandoned its long-standing goal to be profitable in 2009, has been hurt by the shift in U.S. consumer demand toward smaller, fuel-efficient vehicles and away from large trucks and SUVs.
Ford relies heavily on sales of its SUVs and full-size pickup trucks in the U.S. market, but the U.S. demand for the large vehicles has been shrinking for several years and the declines accelerated in the last couple of months as gas prices rose above $3.50 per gallon.
Err... I've read TFA and all I can see is that some guy would like to use spare Fedora cpu cycles for some sort of project but he doesn't know what and he's not really sure how. My immediate response is come back when you've got something concrete.

which makes it extraordinary.

Cardboard box - we used to dream of a cardboard box. When I were a lad....
and no, it's not Monty Python - it's At Last The 1948 Show.

Hmm... You're right, of course. What's worse is that it took 30 mins on a techie site like this to pick up on my typo!

Whether you believe in IP is irrelevant to the law of the country of where you live. As a defence it won't hold up in court.
At the risk of being accused of trolling Microsoft have the right to decide whatever rules they like about access to Xbox live.
This is just a puff piece for IronPort - nothing to see here, move along

Good, sometimes there's only one way to learn about why we have backups. After all, they're just as much at risk from hard disk crashes.

Great Britain is a country
a great Briton is an inhabitant of that country who is either (a)notable or (b)obese
And, ok, mod me off topic, I've got the karma to burn.
The UK rail system. It is universally acknowledged that privatization was a disaster just to make the fat cats fatter.

Nice quote, it must be the thick end of thirty years since I last heard that. Thanks for the lulz
Thanks
A clear and concise explanation. I was open to persuasion and you have persuaded me.
