When you can infringe on someone's right to live (by crashing into them) the government can step in. Studies have shown that accidents are much more likely to happen when driving, therefore it is a reasonable measure to reduce/eliminate this.
If you want to talk on the phone while you're driving, pull over. You can still use it "where and when" you want to, you'll just need to not be moving at speed that can kill someone.
Or better yet, after a dozen tries at the captcha allow entry into the site because obviously if it was a script trying to break the captcha it would have been successful by then.
I am a current CS student in a University program, and from what I've learned already (and, yes, I've done some web stuff including a couple firefox plugins) is that web dev will probably be the next evolution of computing. I think you'll find that over the next decade that large scale offline solutions to many problems will be migrated to a web based program. I mean, we can see this happening with the so-called cloud computing. Right now it seems kind of a buzz, but if/when it becomes an accepted part of business culture, almost everyone will need to be a web developer to a certain extent, if not completely.
If anything, a programmer's greatest asset will be his/her ability to keep up with the trends in such a fast moving technology
The potential for eroding Internet users' right to remain anonymous, which is protected by law in the United States and recognized in international law by groups such as the Council of Europe
Not only that, but the Konami code for Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (some of you may know it from the Xbox360 Arcade) was "B A B A Up Down B A Left Right B A Start".
It's probably Europe based. A lot of European countries use "," in place of "." and "." in place of ",". Thus, 63,434 watts = 63.434 watts which makes a little more sense.
I was going to mark this down, but I thought I'd ask: Where's your source for this information? I'm sure you've got a study to refer to and haven't pulled this out of your ass. Wait a sec... This is Slashdot. What am I talking about?
Caveat emptor is not english either. Caveat is latin for warning. See Wikipedia. So when someone says "with some caveats in strong magnetic fields" it is technically incorrect. Since "with some warnings in strong magnetic fields" isn't what he intended to say. However, caveat can be used correctly on its own. E.g. He entered the cave dispite his companion's caveat.
Could a combination of these two technologies produce a more efficient HD. Let's say you used the HDD for writing data and then during idle time have the newly written data copied over to the SSD. Then one could read from the faster SSD. That way you would get the faster reading and writing speeds of each technology. I suppose that this however would be more expensive, but if the SSD were optimized for retrieval of data instead of storing, maybe this could be optimized further.
I'm sure there's a way to encrypt it, but it kinda makes it impractical. Voip is only feasible by making the delay as little as possible. By adding an encrypt/decrypt step I would certainly expect some delay.
On another note, who really cares if the government finds out your mom sent a care package in the mail? Unless that care package is meant to take care of someone for good (if you catch my drift).
I was nitpicking because they were. It was an attempt to point out that people make small mistakes all the time and yet we all know what they mean. It certainly was not also an attempt to get mod points since this entire thread is completely off topic. Take some pills and chill out.
Technically there is no 12pm. It is by definition 12 noon. Since pm stands for post meridian which means after noon, it is impossible to have noon be after itself.
I think the Green parties in Europe are a little more progressive than simply shouting like a bunch of green peace protesters that the environment is dying and such. No one gets elected on a single policy therefore they have learned to diversify and adopt policies in other areas, other than just the environment and health, that will possibly indirectly affect the environment, or at least allow the government more resources to help it. Plus, any political party that refuses to ignore any issues that aren't considered their central policy would be shooting themselves in the foot. They need to be aware of what the public wants, and more importantly what the laws are and their effects, especially if they want to be a real contender in parliament.
Of course money has value because it cannot be reproduced (easily) and therefore can hold value greater than its innate worth since this, in a way, creates rarity (since there is only one source, the mint).
Quoted from the parent of my original post:
If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire
So in fact the license expires as soon as you remove the content. From reading some of the other posts here, it seems that Facebook tries to make a difference between "removing" material and "deactivating" material. I guess if all you do is "deactivate" you account, you're technically not removing it and thus Facebook retains its license, so one must remove their material. If Facebook then retains that information, I would say they are then in violate of copyright.
Since the user retains all proprietary rights to their content, couldn't they just sue Facebook for holding copyrighted material on their servers? It seems to me that this contract is in conflict with the law and as we all know you can't hold a contract that implies one needs to break the law. (e.g. I'll pay for the 5 pounds of crack, and if you sell it for me I'll give you half the profits) Or am I wrong?
IANAL

ugh... It's getting too late. That should read:
...much more likely to happen while driving and using a cellphone, therefore...

Let's have one and a half cheers for all this time saving!
Sorry, but that's already copyrighted and is now no longer the theme!

Is a sovereignty thing. Canadians generally don't recognize themselves as American, and hey, can you blame them?
I think you mean "+/- 0 trite cynicism" because it won't make a difference anyway.

Don't you mean Doki Doki Panic?
