If they did, they would have to look elsewhere than Nokia/Siemens:
The joint venture exited the business that included the monitoring equipment, what it called "intelligence solutions," at the end of March, by selling it to Perusa Partners Fund 1 LP, a Munich-based investment firm, Mr. Roome said. He said the company determined it was no longer part of its core business.
They dumped that division before the shitstorm got started, no doubt hoping to sidestep it in the process.
Say you were on your way somewhere and then BAM you're a ghost 10 minutes from your corpse. Run back to your corpse and BAM you're a ghost for 10 more minutes. You get the idea.
All PVP in WoW is consensual. If this sort of thing bothers you, keep your flag turned off and don't roll a toon on a PVP server.
Having just been through the process of screening applicants for interview, I have to say yes, the formatting and 'polish' of a CV is not so important. However, the actual structure of the document is. I don't want to have to sift through multiple pages of degree exam results (yes, I really had to in some cases) just to find out what an applicant can do. A list of the candidate's areas of expertise is the most important information I'm looking for, followed by details of experience to back it up; education comes a distant third at best.
If I'm forced to wade through reams of uninteresting academic minutiae before first, that's a negative mark against the applicant straight off.
As far as typos etc. go, I'm willing to overlook a few, but a CV/resumé is one's first opportunity to sell oneself to an employer, and a lack of attention to detail there can be a bad sign.
* There are 9 planets orbiting the sun. Turns out Pluto isn't even a planet.
But this idea doesn't really fit with the others; it's not as though our previous knowledge of Pluto was deficient in any way. Instead, with the discovery of similar (even larger, in the case of Eris) bodies in the Kuiper belt, the definition of a planet was refined to exclude Pluto, since it had lost notability.
A similar thing happened with Ceres, the largest body in the asteroid belt - originally classified as a planet upon its discovery in the early 19th century, it was also 'downgraded' when the rest of the belt was subsequently discovered.
Craig Feigin was arrested and held on $20,000 bail after he admitted to rigging Marisel Garcia's computer, and other women's computers, with Webcam Spy Hacker. Under Florida law, he could be charged with a felony and face jail time.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but I just don't see where you're coming from. If you've been playing long enough to take 20+ characters through a substantial portion of the game, how come you don't just run a level 70 and enjoy all the endgame content rather than complain about it?
Surely the players whose mains are still below 70 are the ones who are least in need of new content, since they haven't yet exhausted the old content...
The line between censorship and moderation is thick and blurred, if indeed there really is one. I struggle to think of something which could be described by one word, but not the other. I suspect that the true distinction lies in the opinions of those who use the words, and the reactions they wish to incite through that use.
Judging which posts qualify as noise is not a straightforward issue, though; one's results could vary wildly according to exactly where one chooses to draw the line. And when all the moderators drawing that line are on one side of an argument, any deletions which might objectively be judged as overzealous will most likely favour that side. The only way to be sure of seeing the whole argument is if there is no moderation (or, less euphemistically, censorship).
As far as the uncensored site attracting more discussion, that can only be judged conclusively if the number of posts deleted on the moderated site is known - although they would have to outnumber existing posts by a factor of 5.5 for the sites to have had equivalent levels of traffic.
(All of which disregards bannings from both sites, which would also be a factor.)
however poorly configured software is, wether its MSIE or OpenSSH or SMB if they are poorly configured you will get bitten
anyway this smells like another "OMG p2p teh evill!!!" anti-p2p propaganda
Precisely. Preventing personal data from leaking onto P2P networks is simply a matter of proper configuration of the client. As the summary states, there's very little detail in the article about how the information was actually accessed; all that would be required is a few pointers to help people prevent the sharing of sensitive files, but TFA seems to be following the fear-mongering route instead with quotes like "If you are running file-sharing software, you are giving criminals the keys to your computer".
And then, right at the end, we have:
Kopiloff also obtained some sensitive information the old-fashioned way, from associates who would steal mail or go "Dumpster diving" for discarded financial records, the indictment said, adding that he would open credit accounts and then go shopping online
Who wants to bet that a more significant proportion of the information came from that source?

On second thought, maybe you're right.

Certainly not. Why would they buy it when they can just pass laws forcing ISPs to do it for them?

Meant by whom, exactly? Apart from myself, who has the authority to decide just how my brain should be "rocked", and why?
And if you didn't discover that for yourself in the first place, then, like the man said: time to hand in your geek card.
Exactly. If you're into good music you'll quite rightly hate them with the fury of a thousand burning suns.
As always, xkcd got there first.
...what a surprise.
The article does not say that the company is being fined £5000; it's the owner himself who faces prosecution, and hence a criminal record.
I suppose it depends which calendars you take into consideration.
I hear she tried that but had trouble handing in the coursework...

According to the Times article there are actually eight robotic craft competing - the Pinta and seven others.
That's almost as bad an oxymoron as 'military intelligence'.
I'm happy.
