That's how journalism works, especially when dealing with informants that can get sacked or retaliated against due to the information they're providing. You can't just throw away all journalism just because of anonymous sources. It's a practice that is as old as written history.
And those third party apps are severely limited(HTTP only, for instance). So don't expect to have any fun or do any real work with it without jumping through some hoops.
But at the same time the vast majority of crawlers respect robots.txt even though they'd prefer to take your tasty content. Voluntary isn't always destined to fail.
That being said, I haven't bothered to watch either of the last two movies because they're not legitimate matrix movies. They use the same characters and effects, but with Neo winning in the first movie there's no way for the series to continue without resorting to something really lame.
Maybe you should actually watch them before shitting all over them? And I also don't know what you're talking about, the first movie was way open ended.
There is a school of thought which says that if you vote, you're accepting the legitimacy of the system and the outcome and if you lost, you should just sit down and shut up. There is also a school of thought which says that by not voting you are forfeiting your voice and you should just sit down and shut up. Both of these arguments are usually employed by smug supporters of the status quo.
I'm not smug, nor a supporter of the status quo. However, the latter is a valid point. If the ONE thing we get in the constitution when it comes to having a say in our government is ignored, you absolutely are forfeiting your voice.
Voting for Rand Paul or Ru Paul or Ralph Nader or Mickey Mouse doesn't change anything either.
What if Mickey got 40% of the vote?
You're well within your rights to just give up and hate the ugly nebulous 'system', but it's just people we're talking here. You're one of them, like it or not. Just because they're outside of your monkeysphere doesn't mean they don't exist or are some 'system' out to get you. You're still one of us, like it or not.
Convincing you your vote matters is how they maintain their control over you. You're a fool if you think you can change anything by voting.
You got that exactly backwards. The two controlling parties want to make you think your vote does not count, so you won't bother coming out to vote. The non-voters are a strong base. If they all get into the process, that is when unpredictable things happen. Like it or not, that is exactly how Obama got elected. A lot of new and disillusioned non-voters like yourself actually came out to the voting booth.
You're unecessarilly jaded and cynical if you believe things can't be changed by votes. Do us all a favor and go put your vote into some 'crackpot' 3rd party that you never think could win. The more votes 3rd parties get, the more the 2 majors will have to change to keep up. At the very least it shows them there is a possiblity that they might not have neverending control and think twice when they do ridiculous shit that nobody likes
Do a tiny bit of research before spouting your mouth off, man. Here it is, straight from the NIH/CDC site:
A concept of protecting a community against certain diseases by having a high percentage of the communitys population immunized. (Sometimes referred to as "herd" immunity). Even if a few members of the community are unable to be immunized, the entire community will be indirectly protected because the disease has little opportunity for an outbreak. However, with a low percentage of population immunity, the disease would have great opportunity for an outbreak.
In California voters get to vote on individual propositions and they don't seem to be off much better than the rest...
WTF? CA has propositions and referendums, sure, like virtually every other state. Either the legis or petitioners can put whatever they want on the ballot for vote. This is not unique, nor interesting. And is a small percentage of 'legislation' that gets passed any given session in the state.
Nobody HAS TO be on call 24/7/365; the surgeon and the fireman should be able to have a replacement ready when he's at the theater or sleeping.
Also keep in mind that this was back in the day where you could most likely run around town to find the person in question. You could also be talking about minutes where nowadays it costs millions or someone their life. Things have changed, old man. Nice lawn.
this is your price if you book today, next week, next month etc so that everyone would know what the real price is
This isn't exactly possible unless they start speculating. Prices are usually adjusted and raised the closer the date gets because seats become more and more scarce. Basic supply and demand. In theory, if 0(or very little) seats have been sold the day before the flight, the seats will be sold uber-cheap or the flight will be cancelled all together.
If someone could cite this, I'd appreciate it. I hear this thrown around a lot. AFAIK, court fees are there to cover costs, and not much more. That is, ignoring damages awarded to the state if you lose a case against the state.
Ugh, the worst offender I've ever seen is the US Postal Service. I dunno how it is now, but at the time, my password had to be EXACTLY EIGHT characters and had to contain EXACTLY ONE capital letter and number, respectively.
Of course, at sign up, the form just discarded any letter over 8 chars and any capital or numbers after the first entered. WTF,man?
USPS is so stuck in the 80s when it comes to computing. I've been working with some of their data and it is incredibly frustrating. Like it was made for those old spool printers. I don't know how anyone can have a database full of ALL CAPS and fixed width datasets this late in the game.

Not holding my breath. This was supposed to be available on release, so we'll see.
Is it still non-obvious when two groups of people come up with the same software?
Please let this be real... Please let this be real... Please let this be real...

Is that any more bullshit than Mozilla being paid to set Google as the default on Firefox?
What about the capitalization? None of these are mutually exclusive in their actual definitions.
Oh cool, defend civil liberties by taking people's civil rights. Great solution, dude.

IIRC, they identified him pretty quick. The problem was finding him.

They wish they could, though. Give it time.

I wonder if there are forums on the Web where plumbers shit all over eachother.

Actually, it was misinformed, not 'dumber than shit'.
