If you click the link, you see that it was indeed revised.
I did click and didn't see it. If you are referring to the multiple dates listed with respect to publication, that's hardly enough to support the claim of "much" revised it could simply refer to different publishers and trivial changes like the addition of a forward or clean-ups to make the serialization flow as a single novel.
I read most of all the other incarnation books (including Jerry Cornelius), and I agree with that description.
Well, that's powerful supporting evidence there. If reading more of the books is all that matters, I'm pretty sure I've got you beat with a much bigger eternal champion dick, one might even say more cock. For example, Jesus Christ is another incarnation of the companion to the champion. But, I'll stop swinging my dick and get back to hard evidence. See "The Eternal Champion" where John Daker - the only incarnation to be internally aware of all the other incarnations - has one (of many) schizo moments:
'Erekosë.' 'I am not Erekose...' 'Erekosë!' 'I am John Daker!' 'Erekosë!' 'I am Jerry Cornelius,' 'Erekosë!' 'I am Konrad Arflane.' 'Erekosë!' 'What do you want?' I asked. 'We want your help!' 'You have my help!' 'Erekosë!' 'I am Karl Glogauer!' 'Erekosë!'
But I do live in the US and so I really wonder why people use "ton" in supposedly metric-standardized countries? I mean, I know that 1000kg is sort-of close to the old 2000lbs, but it is really ambiguous and there is the perfectly good Mega.
Much revised? What, are there multiple versions of the book?
And FWIW, whoever wrote that isn't too clued into the eternal champion theme - among other things, New York was clearly Tanelorn, definitely making The Ice Schooner yet another version of the eternal champion theme.
In most cased, to prove it are fairly trivial for experts. You car is supposed to be fitted with a authorized alarm type ( the type is specified in the contract as well ) So, in normal circumstance, if the car is found back the expert will look for evidence of alarm circumvention, broken windows,... it gets worse if they also find the thief.
So, if the thief cracks the keyless fob leaving no physical trace of circumvention you are boned.
And if they catch the thief they are going to take his word over yours even though he has every incentive to lie and say you left it unlocked with the keys in driver's seat that way they won't know he's got an expensive laptop with an expensive fob cracker to confiscate from him.
So Oracle and Citigroup are thinking of buying Red Hat, eh?
No. The article summary is totally fubar.
Citigroup analysts think Oracle might want to buy Redhat. That's it. Citigroup is a finance company, them acquiring Redhat would be like Bank of America buying Microsoft.
A navigation system is usually mounted in a head-up location, though. Moving your eyes down to the centre console in a moving car to find navigation info is truly wide-screen surround-sound epic fail.
Indeed, and the few car manufacturers like infiniti and volvo that did put their nav displays in a semi-HUD position have stopped doing so and moved to the center console stupidity. I've had to forgo the nav systems my last two car purchases and go with a 3rd-party unit which I could mount on the dash directly in front of the driver position.
I could have sworn that the scotus ruling about the pentagon papers had been essentially reversed in the last few years. Too lazy to look for the details since your link doesn't seem to contain the name of the original case to use as google starter.
I'm not saying that having a national medical database is necessarily a good thing, but it's immeasurably better than having individual state repositories.
I tend to agree, but I think you have a different definition of 'immeasurably' - my definition is "not measurable" because there ain't nothing there. They say Mussolini made the trains run on time. I think that this sort of information does not need to be networked. Sure standardization of formats is good, but networking is not. Put it on a usb fob that hangs off your keyring and password protect it.
Based on gut instinct alone, I believe that the number of people who will be unconscious in an emergency situation and without any family member available to provide the password for the fob would be at least an order of magnitude smaller, probably 2 orders, than the number of people who will suffer ill consequences from the abuse of their private data via illegitimate network access. All it will take is one big swipe of an entire hospital's worth of patient history for a decade or so to bring the numbers into line with my gut here.
Add to that years of pandering to public idiocy and paranoia, and you wonder if a city couldn't be shut down overnight by putting little post-its with the word BOMB on it all over the place. "Well, we can't take the chance! We have to assume it is!"
But they specifically don't filter out titles known to be unavailable for free. Ergo they allow such titles to be searched for and found, ergo they intend that result.
It would be pointless to filter those titles out. As soon as they started doing that, people would start encoding titles so that the filter won't block them and then publishing lists of real titles and their encoded names in some frequently changing location that is easy enough for a person to find, but difficult for a computer to decipher. It already happens frequently on usenet because DMCA takedown notices to the big usenet sites like giganews have so far all been the result of automated title searches of headers and nzb amalgamaters.
And ultimately it makes the job of copyright owners a heck of a lot easier if the search engines make it obvious where the copyright violations are occuring because those sites can be shutdown with an DMCA notice or whatever the local equivalent is.
And since this directly went behind the backs of the people, treason is the proper definition here
Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
I trust you can demonstrate how this action fits, since you have declared that "treason is the proper definition"?
The constitution is not a dictionary. The constitution does not define treason, it defines what can be prosecuted as treason in the US.
A real dictionary says: 1 : the betrayal of a trust : TREACHERY 2 : the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family
I also understand overclocking for the sake of overclocking. But is getting 15% increase in MHz really noticeable without testing?
Try closer to 50%. You have to pick the right model of cpu to get that kind of increase, but it is always the case that the best overclocking chips are in the cheap section. So it isn't like you have to pay for the privilege if you do it right.
And yes it can be very noticeable, depending on what you are doing. For example, it can mean the difference between smooth video playback of HD video and a herky jerky mess of dropouts.
At every step of the way, Capital One seemed to be going out of its way to protect itself *from* me and my ID Theft investigation instead of caring about the fact that it was an accessory to ID theft.
That's really no surprise - the entire reason the term "identity theft" was created was to redirect responsibility from the banks for being accessories to fraud. Nobody steals an identity, they steal money from the bank by exploiting weaknesses in the bank's system. But call it identity theft and the fact that it was the bank's failure to protect itself adequately against fraud is not so immediately obvious and that since your identity was involved it is at least partially your fault.
I watched the clip on youtube and maybe I missed something, but Olmos seems to be making a big deal about a little thing. He claims that race does not equal culture and that the word race has been misapplied to culture to justify the killing of other humans because "you can't kill your own race."
I don't think it makes one iota of difference whether you think the term "race" applies to a group of shared ideals and customs or a set of common chromosomes. People will always come up with a way to portray their enemies as "the other" so as to tap into the human trait of distrust of "the other" and encourage the unthinking masses to attack them. Even within groups of highly similar cultures, as long as there is a dispute each side will come up with a way to dehumanize the other side.
If the machines should not have passed certification, and yet they were certified (were they?) then the agency doing the certification ought to be brought up on charges as well, and any OTHER systems that they certified ought to be open to question as well.
No point. The end result will turn out to be like an ISO9000 system - the certifiers had a process and they followed it to the T. The problem is that the process does jackshit. But everybody followed the rules. And the people responsible for creating the rules? Those will be the politicians that voted for the laws that specified electronic voting systems in the first place.
and I do know folks whose votes in the most recent US presidential election would have been viewed in an extremely unkind light by immediate family members
Not to belittle your main point, but people in that situation that have far more pressing problems than something as abstract and distant from daily life as who gets elected to office, even a local office.
Mitch Trachtenberg, a volunteer AFAIK, was able to scan all of the ballots post-election and tabulate them using his own open-source software. The discrepancy between his results and the official results is what led to the discovery of the flaw in Diebold's software.
Whether Diebold is a villian here or not is clearly debateable. But the hero is Mitch and anyone working with him to independently verify the results. In this case, he is the check in checks and balances.
But the problem is that they probably have a EULA which excludes any damages in whatever form whatsoever (limited warranty). This would then require the invalidation of that clause, which then could be a devastating result for the software business as a whole. No software company wants to pay for any damage ever...
I don't know about Diebold specificaly, but the licenses I've seen, including those from MS, usually specify that the maximum liability is the cost of the product, in other words, "a full refund" but no more.
Last I checked, the EFF were in strong favor of collective licensing schemes. In my opinion, that approach is completely misguided - either it will require a big-brother like system in order to track usage so as to fairly apportion the proceeds to the artists, or it will lead to even more stagnation as the little innovative guys, the ones who are ultimately responsible for significant changes in culture many years down the road, will never see a penny and cultural development will become glacial.
Ultimately the entire business model needs to be scrapped. We need something akin to the street-performer protocol or some combination of multiple business models that channel people's natural inclination to share stuff they think is cool rather than attempt to fight against it as the current system does.
Can you expand on this? I'm curious what was said that was false that would have caused a man to be guilty and that you corrected.
Dunno about the OP, but I had a friend get a speeding ticket thrown out because he was able to prove that the cop's claims on the stand violated some basic rules of physics (essentially the cop claimed to be able to see around corners).

So what is the metric equivalent of a reggaeton?
he also shows a nice theoretical construction that allows one to accelerate to any speedy (assuming that the universe is Newtonian).
Even to a Gonzales?

Yeah, that smells like bullshit. There is no way they could ever prove it.

Others have said it before - the future is not George Orwell's "1984," it is Kafka's "The Trial."
