Every question asking for meanings ("why") rather than mechanisms ("how").
That, to me is the same question. If you know ("how") you also knwo ("why"). What is left in the God basked are the things we do not know yet what the answer is.
A differently-worded patent on a new product is better than no patent at all.
No patent at all is better. If the product is good, it will sell. If the competition starts making things better and cheaper, that is also good, because that way the consumer gets a better products.
Patents do not encourage inovation, they block it. Could be that that was different 100 years ago, but it isn't now. Patents are used to block ideas.
Remember the saying 'I am standing on the shoulders iof giants.'? Patents tell you that you can't do that anymore.
It's fairly easy to blame the victim, until it's someone you know.
A good friend of mine fell for a spam scam once and we ALL laucged at him and also blamed him for the reason we are getting spam. It was even easier to do so, because I knew him and could look him in the face and tell him how stupid he had been.
Maybe he'll luck out and his cellmate will have responded to some of those penis pill spams.
No need to excuse about this. It is not a rape reference, unless you claim that the pills work. More likely if the cellmate has responded, he will be so mad that they did NOT work, that they will beat him to pulp.
Spammer: the people who even childmolesters look down on in jail.
Since January 2006, behavior-detection officers have referred about 70,000 people for secondary screening, Maccario said. Of those, about 600 to 700 were arrested on a variety of charges, including possession of drugs, weapons violations and outstanding warrants.
The scary thing is that there is absolutely no way to oversight this.
What is even scarier is that those 600-700 were absolutely no risk to whatever flight they were going to take. All it tells me that if you randomly start to control people, that about 1% can be charged with something.
I do not have to explain, I think, what falso positives and false negatives are.
I have a passport with a chip in it and I have seen no speed in the process at the airport. I still need to take of my shoes to get them tested. I still have to go through more checks then I used to.
I have however a envelope made for my passport, Made it with tinfoil and duct tape. When they asked I told them I did not want to damage my passport, that way I would be able to present them a better readable paper, wich would make control easier for them and make my passage faster.
They thought that was a good idea. I did not stop to tell them that I thought they were idiots for believing that lame excuse.
About 4. I do not understand management where I am.
I make several excel files every week for reporting. They are located on a shared drive. Only extra data is added every monday, yet instead of puting a link to the files, or the directory, management wants me to send them by email every week to several people.
Right or wrong, if my client says that they don't like my employee, I take that very seriously. Accidents and general human error are acceptable in moderation. Disregard for my business -- even during off-hours -- is completely unacceptable.
Please tell me what company, so I do not accidentaly send a jobaplication to you. I disregard you already and I even do not know yoiu. Respect is something you earn, not something you enforce.
It's one thing to find out your social security number was stolen. Now add your mental health and STD results to those records.
Security and theft are not the same as open or not. You can steal my data on closed format, like Word and everybody can see it. You can steal my plaintext gpg files and have no idea what they contain.
Security must be an extra layer. The main difference mostly between open and closed is that closed formats handles mostly with security through obscurity.
It could be that the person is against those policies and/or against the actions taken to defend/enforce those policies. It could be that the person is against military alltogether.
As a sidenote: your excuse you are giving the military is very close to "An order is an order." and that does not work since a very long time.
Then redesign the ballot in a way that mistakes are not possible.
Although as long as people keep re-installing the same software even though it keeps craching and being a hazard for others, I am not sure if having thise same people in charge of more importand matters is a good idea in the first place.
If it were, why would we not be able to elect our CEO?
No one has ever been raped, beaten or contracted a sexually-transmitted disease on the internet.
People offer money for childporn. LOTS of monney. That will attract people who are willing to provide it. So yes, people have been raped due to the Internet. And yes, it could be possible to use mailorder as well, but then the amount of people would be much less.
This does not mean that it is a good idea. It is an extremely st00pid idea. To me it looks as if it is just an added punishment that they can hold against them.
I think it should have died sooner. They kept dragging it on and on. It stood for something. Now it stands for nothing. The most sympathy can bring up for some lines of code is oh well and that for code I made myself and extremely recent code.
Not something I used some years ago.
I agree it is a bad way to die, because it took too long.
http://houghi.org/Fun/Netscape.zip That is Netscape 1.0 for you. Sorry, only Windows. The download is 394.1k, which is less then the average webpage nowadays.
Imagine what Microsoft Flight Simulator could have been if it would have been another company. It could have been much better as well as much worse. No reason to call MS cool for that reason.
For those who can not go without their porn and do not want to be censored: download it first and play it on your portable. With some scripting you can download a LOT more then you would probably with a connection on a plane.

When all software out there is Open Source, leaks will be found and closed. That would mean no more virusses. That would mean no more McAfee.
What is the best defence they can come up with? FUD!
If anybody is dependent on closed source and the slow process of bringing out patches, it is these guys. In an ideal world they should not even exist.

Well, if you WANT a quick fix, I can hook you up with some coke, if you like.

Utterly stupid, if you ask me.
You are fired. We do not like people that overdress.

Sometimes I wich somebody would shoot me, because I can't get a song out of my head. Make the law stricter and that might actualy happen.

It will get fixed? They are going to force the vendor? They and what army?
Oh wait.
Mmm. They have a lot of people with beards in Guantanamo. Could they be OSS developers?
And here I was buying things on DVD and over the Internet, because the MPAA told me I was otherwise stealing from the writers and such.
I am confused now.

How do you know that peoples vote that was not on a paper ballot is counted correctly?
Also what guarantee is there that people do not somehow print out some hidden code for each ballot, thus making it not so secret anymore.
Make a paper ballot. Put that through a high speed scanner. Done. All those that could not be read must be read by people.

Yeah, because after that it went realy downhill with Microsoft.
Oh no, wait. They still use it as an excuse that it brought Internet to the masses and many believe that that is the case.

Why would people be afraid of Arab countries as the beheadings happen in non-Arab countries most of the time?
How many people stopped going to the UK when the IRA was still active? How many people do not go to Spain because of the ETA?
