Clearly this particular Puritannical (shallow, phoney) "moral" crusade must prevail. We must make certain that small children NEVER see a woman's nipple!
I'm sure that companies like Nestle could get behind that argument... wait; they already did!
You don't need to be greedy. Simply requiring the law enforcement to pay interest and to pay attorney fees should be sufficient.
That might help US Citizens, but Canadians just driving through aren't going to want to halt their life, go back to the country that ripped them off, find a reputable attorney that knows these laws, and then come back AGAIN for the court date, unless it's a pretty large amount of goods stolen by the authorities. After all, not only do they run the risk of getting skimmed again, they also run the risk of getting scammed by their lawyer, AND they have to pay room/board/transportation PLUS take the extra time off work required for the visits. Most people I know just took it as a lesson not to visit that part of the US again and cut their losses.
Actually, what I found intriguing about the article is that photons' "physical" properties appear to be relational, which goes a long way to explaining how they can behave as waves AND particles. It kind of seems like photons are really the relationship between the physical universe and the Higgs field, and are very much quantum. As such, photons are trainable based on what they interact with, and how they are measured. This has interesting ramifications for future modeling and even future means of photon measurement. Add this to the state change ability discovered a few months back, and our toolkit for understanding the universe has suddenly got a LOT more interesting.
Now you're moving the goalpost... and it still doesn't really affect things. If you dislike the product enough to give it a negative review, why not go to one of the other companies, get their moldy cannabis, and not complain that time around? If EVERYONE gives negative reviews and is blacklisted by the company, they'll run out of business.
I still fail to see a real issue here (unless you raise the issue of the current state of medical cannabis in the first place, where the producers can no longer make a living at it AND produce a decent product due to new government regulations -- but that's a different rant).
In Canada started doing this from bad reviews on their facebook/twitter pages but dropping the customer and not allowing them to purchase anymore.
That actually makes sense. If I'm selling something and the people buying it complain about my product/service, I'm not going to be inclined to do further business with them. What I can't figure out is why someone complaining about product/service would be upset that they had terminated their relationship with the company who was giving them such bad customer service.
Now if ALL companies in that market blacklisted someone who gave a negative review, that would be a different story. Sounds to me like people want their cannabis cheap, but also want top notch service and product. Good luck with that.
Huh? I can use Hangouts on my 2009 PC just fine via the Chrome plugin. Not that I do; that plugin is a headache to use as it requires Chrome running in the background. But my old touch devices run the mobile apps just fine too.
Er, one other thing: if they allow text messages in this manner, they've broken their own two factor authentication, as people will be able to spoof SMS and thus receive SMS alerts on any device where they've purloined someone's user/password. No more 2FA.
I seem to recall Google announcing a few months ago that they were planning to add the first one and possibly the last one in the new version of Hangouts (which would be the one they're now announcing, I guess). SMS is more of an issue, as that is actually sent over a different data stream; MMS however, is stream independent, and should work over SMS or IP -- so as long as Google doesn't mind breaking a bit of backwards functionality, they could inject text messaging via this route.
On most cell/mobile networks, your calls are just run over the data service. Meanwhile you're charged much higher prices for the phone-as-data than data-as-data.
To play devil/carrier's advocate, phone-as-data has much tighter legal/QoS restrictions.
See the other response. This "news" seems to be a direct response to Apple opening up PoTS over Wi-Fi and LTE yesterday. However, it's also not new, as I've been doing this for a while now. Google just hadn't publicised the capability yet.
I've been using iOS Hangouts on an iPod to send/receive North America calls (to/from my US Google Voice numbers) for a few months now -- ever since Google restricted their API so that Talkatone stopped working for that same purpose.
The Voice call-in number traditionally had to be a US number, but for dialing out, you could call both the US and Canada free of charge.
I don't really see what's new here other than the publicity.
We've had a number of cases hit the news recently where it would have been useful to determine WHICH cop fired when, as well has having data to back up how many times each one fired.
Not to mention, if this data was streamed real-time, it could give other officers in the area an instant heads-up if one of their comrades fired, and instantly register that shot back with the dispatcher. This, while not painting the entire picture, would be a really nice framework to hang everything else upon.
With a bit of tweaking, such a device could also measure things like degree of force used when subduing a citizen (I'm sure a punch, a grapple and a shove all have different signatures too), and may even be able to record arm gestures and position.
Electrons have a charge, but don't really take up physical space (and have no mass, therefore no gravitational pull). I was going to mention something about ionization, but the point of inert monatomic gasses is that they don't give up their electron shell, and don't steal from other molecule's electron shells. As such, the electron/proton binding is neutral, and so doesn't affect the surrounding materials.
Oh yes, and that whole thing your school teachers taught about electrons orbiting a cluster of protons and neutrons is a lie; it's just a convenient way of visualizing what's happening.
The interesting thing here is that the valuable part of Minecraft is not the software produced, but the development and publishing method and its userbase.
If MS touches the development or publishing method, it will lose its userbase to someone else doing the same thing properly. Basically, it'll end up like the Sims Online.
...and I expected such a response. The reality is that the FCC definitely has the authority to do something about such devices, but it's not Part 15 that gives them that authority. Part 15 is about signals transmission, and is not about transmitted content. Otherwise, any network filter would also fail the Part 15 test if an AP happens to do its own network filtering.
There's no loophole, but throwing the wrong rules at the problem just confuses the issue.
You're missing the part where He is an inert monatomic gas -- since any pressure is created by how much helium you've got in that otherwise-vacuum, you'll find that the helium atoms, which can pretty much go anywhere they'll fit, will eventually find their way through the mass of other atoms bit by bit. They're small enough that they'll drift right through any "air pressure" as they can comfortably fit between most other gas molecules no matter how tightly they're packed together.
So it really all comes down to the seal: if they can get the seal to leave a gap no greater than two protons thick (He comes in stable isotopes of 1 or 2 neutrons), then no helium can escape. Good luck getting a seal that good though.
The truth is that statistically, most of the gas should stay inside the drive, but there will be constant loss, and eventually it will be enough that the gas cushion won't be enough to protect the platters and heads from collision.

Well, that year.

The campaign was invisible to those with noscript enabled.
Actually, the dogs are probably "alerting" on the money itself.

I'd mod you up, but, well, you're responding to me :)
Ever used ReiserFS? Good luck getting a government contract....
In every Federal election, either the Democrats or the Republicans advocate for peacable overthrow -- that's how elections work.
Violent overthrow is more like what the founding fathers did and advocated for.

Reviews are like a box of chocolate.
The person with the loose filling always gets the caramel instead of the strawberry truffle they were expecting.

...which is exactly when I switched to using Hangouts for this purpose, and it worked fine for me. On iOS, however.

At least that encourages you to get up and walk around regularly ;)
Nope -- if you don't have access to the lawn (you're not on the network) then you can't tell them to get off of it. It is purely "Get off MY lawn!"
