Did you read article I section 8, just about section 10? You know, where the Constitution grants Congress the power to issue money? Or do you fail to understand the difference between taking quotes out of context and, you know, actually reading and understanding what's in writing?
This means that if my employer pays me in nickels then I also must pay more in income tax to the feds as a nickel is worth more then five cents in pure metal value these days.
All nickels minted after 1964 are made out of a copper-nickel clad (alloy). The metal value of a nickel might be worth more than 5 cents, but I doubt it. Anyway, it doesn't matter since federal states that the value of currency is the face value, period, and that any melting down of coins for metal is willful destruction of government property, which is, at the very least, a misdemeanor.
Agreed. ACH == Automated Clearing House, which is what most people would just call 'direct deposit'. Furthermore, the big ideas should have been at the top of the summary, with the detail about the case down into the paragraphs.
I know this and I've never had one single journalism class, albeit I did take the required writing and composition classes in college.
Anyway, this just goes to show that for those that want true anonymity need to employ something that like that darknet technology in yesterday's articles. (Go find it yourself;).
That would probably make even more people go "huh?" than the "IRS Wants to Repeal Tax".
Besides, this is really just a simplification of tax rules which are already not enforced as it is. It's just common sense. In the days when cell phones were luxury items that few could afford, maybe it made more sense, but in these days where you can literally pick up a cell phone at your local convenience store for a few bucks, it's just stupid.
Microsoft realized that early on, which is why Explorer was integrated into Windows in the first place. And it's also why they're fighting to try to keep IE on top.
No, Netscape and Sun realized that early on, which is where the concept of browser plugins, JavaScript, and ultimately, Java come from. Then they started wagging their tongues about it rather than sit there and quietly implement stuff (ala Google), so Microsoft.moved to "cut off their air supply" (direct quote from a Microsoft memo used as evidence in their antitrust case) by integrating Internet Explorer into Windows.
Replaced their Office interface with that goddawful ever changing ribbon which trolls, Microsoft fanbois and astroturfers/shills continue to defend despite it completely ruining productivity, and now they're incorporating it into every damn program they can
Correct. There is nothing mystical about H1N1. It's a strain of the extremely common influenza A virus. You know influenza A well, you've probably had at least several times in your life. It's the flu. This is just a new strain. It's not any worse (or better) than any other strain of influenza A. All this hand-waving about H1N1 is stupid and pointless. Anybody with half a brain could tell you that, yes, you can carry the flu for several days without showing any symptoms whatsoever.
There were 45,000 cases of the of the swine flu in the U.S. and I think like 25 people died. That's a fatality rate of what? A half of a tenth of a percent? About the same fatality rate for any other strain of influenza A.
But Miller found more than one instance in which Apple failed to prevent unauthorized data from executing. This means that a program can be loaded into memory as a nonexecutable block of data, after which the attacker can essentially flip a programmatic switch and make the data executable.
The code does not need to be installed, merely downloaded and loaded into memory. The article does not say whether or not they found a remote exploit to make the data executable. Perhaps it is presumed that one will be found.
Well, you're also being a bit misleading. The exploit is to remotely cause unauthorized code to run. What is most misleading about this is that it requires the phone to be jailbroken. It won't work on an OOTB iPhone.
Exactly. There is no difference between "heavy filtering of results" and results that are explicit coming from a separate domain. All that means is that it makes it easier on your end to filter the explicit.bing.com. Who decides what is explicit? Microsoft. What if you don't agree with them? What if you are the owner of that content? Is there a resolution process? Do you have to sue them? Can you sue them?
Which means as long as the USPTO grants him a patent (I don't see this as being a problem. Never mind the law, we have cool 3D renderings!), he should be able to get his investors on board, with no trouble at all.
This may be true if we were robots but we are not, well some of us arenâ(TM)t anyway. Seriously though, the notion that our brain is like a computer is far from the truth. Yes the early computer models were based on what was known about the brain at the time but even if you combined the power of all the computers in the world they would never match the capacity of just one human brain.
Yes, but there is still much that is not understood about the brain, along with other things that are. Chemicals and their various states, for example, contribute much to brain function, perhaps even more so than the neurons themselves. So, it's a billion neurons, but that's not ALL it is.
I would submit that not, he didn't. While real smugglers/terrorists might know 10 ways, some random asshole thinking of being a dick might not know, or even someone who thinks he's above the rules and just really wants to bring that knife with him so he has it after his flight right away. So while nothing's keeping the real "bad guys" from doing anything, it might make an idiot or two have trouble.
Let's just say that, many, many moons ago, I was a teenage boy once. (Hard to believe, I know;) And lots of teenage boys read this site. I don't even want to think what a teenage boy would attempt to do with said knowledge.
Nanotechnology is the artificial intelligence of today. Back in the 1970s, we were all promised that real artificial intelligence would someday exist and we'd all have all-in-one robot maids running around doing our dishes and vacuuming our floors and answering the phone, the door, etc. Lots of things, like natural language processing get called AI, but real AI? A real, self-aware robot with a mind? Forget it. A computer is a billion switches. Even if we turned it into a googolplex switches, it's still nothing more than a googolplex switches.
Nanotech is doing the same thing: we have lots of things we're calling 'nanotech' that aren't what we were promised.
As if any 'terrorist' worth worrying about doesn't know 10x as many ways to smuggle shit on a plane already.
Ding! Someone with a clue. That was my entire point!
Actually, it is. The cockpit doors have been reinforced. No one is piloting a plane into a building or anywhere else unless the pilot is tricked into letting them.
Because those cockpit doors can't be opened without the key, combination, whatever, right? Ask people in law enforcement, CIA, military special ops, etc., if that's really true. Just think about this: if I could a knife on a plane, what else could I get on plane?
You should be more worried about a bomb in the baggage hold.
At worst, you might have killed a few passengers and made flying even more inconvenient for everybody else. If you chose your flight poorly, a marshal probably would have subdued you and you would be awaiting trial (I don't really have any sense of how quick they are to shoot...maybe you would be dead).
What if they were 10 of me on that flight? 20?
Thing is that the way this knife (all metal), was stuck in the bag, screeners would likely miss it every single time. (Again, I'm not saying how.)
The thing is that security is no better now than it was before 9/11. People can still sneak things onto airplanes. In fact, the last two times I have flown, I have, entirely by accident, smuggled two knives onto an airplane. Note that these were simply a "multitool"-type knife that I use for taking computers apart when I have no other tools available, but they were still knives, still not allowed, and still, according the DHS, a security risk. Yet twice TSA screeners missed it. I myself didn't even realize it was stuck in my usual carry on (I won't say how or why it was missed because that information can be misused) -- I thought it was lost. But what if I had been a terrorist, fully aware of the knife?

Sorry, it says that no "State shall". Hence, the power is reserved to the federal government,

Wow. I just learned something new. I didn't know there was really such thing as a pissant. I thought it was just a figure of speech. Thanks, smitty.
I realize Java is actually older than the browsers, but in this case I mean Java as a browser plug-in.
Microsoft realized that early on, which is why Explorer was integrated into Windows in the first place. And it's also why they're fighting to try to keep IE on top.

No, a firm regulatory hand is materially different from a command economy.
Not to an anarcho-capitalist.
Our brains are nothing but billions upon billions of neurons, synapses, etc. forming complex interconnections..
No, they aren't. \
Markets must be managed by a strong central regulatory authority.
Yeah, worked well for the Russians.
Yes, but there is still much that is not understood about the brain, along with other things that are. Chemicals and their various states, for example, contribute much to brain function, perhaps even more so than the neurons themselves. So, it's a billion neurons, but that's not ALL it is.
As if you might perhaps light up and give the entire plane a contact high.
Hey! Not a bad idea. Well, until everyone gets the munchies, anyway. I would NOT want to be the poor flight attendant at that point!
You could have taken apart a computer during the flight?
No. The bag I use for carry-on purposes also serves other purposes when I'm not flying.
I would submit that not, he didn't.
