They should have sent these SMS to the MPAA, RIAA crminals as well as the bought out Congress senators.
Hilarity ensues.
If the members of the MPAA & RIAA had received them before the other people they would be suing all the other recipients - as well as the 'John Doe' sender - for copyright infringement.
Sure there is. First, you'll seek twitter therapy and twitter assimilation resistance resistance. If that succeeds your tweets will be indistinguishable from 99% of the population (and most of your followers will finally be able to understand them).
If your TT&TARR fails you'll have to go to twitter court (most trials are very short) or simply go to twitter confessions and throw yourself on the mercy of 12 randomly selected twitter addicts. Once you're sentenced to twitter prison (where all you say and read are tweets) you'll be able to start paying your debt to the twitterverse. When the time comes for your parole review they'll analyze your tweets during your sentence to determine if you're ready for early tweetlease or if you need to try harder.
So yes, there is hope for you... though not much hope for society at large if we're making DSM-V quality diagnoses based on twitter (unless we're determining that those who use twitter really have too much time on their hands).
The ability to predict psychopaths in under 140 characters? What have all these mental health professionals been doing? All these face-to-face interviews, "sessions" and observations. Maybe if they submitted their reports in only 140 characters they would have figured all this out a long time ago./sarcasm
What this means is that we have a new definition of common sense. However, I am a little confused, because the person says "As an Australian." Australians usually indicate they are Australian by saying "I am not Australian."
So you're saying his "As an Australian" comment was ironic when compared to the traditional response? <Vinne Barbarino>I'm so confused.</Vinne Barbarino>
To be fair, we Americans have an understanding of irony that is limited to the situations included in the Alanis Morissette song. If some of the people on the list that was lost were recent lotto winners and plane crash victims, or had they recently quick smoking, or had their wedding been rained upon then we might consider it irony, but only if we've heard the song recently enough to remember it.
And if more ISP's jump on the 2-week "band-waggon" you'll quickly see one of the next "Defence Appropriations Bill" (or something like that) have a little addition sneaked in by someone in Homeland Security to legally require ISP's to hold 12 months of Logs/Emails.
If the US passes a bill requiring ISP's to retain the data it would mean that their data (US Congress) would also be retained and possibly be subject to FOIA requests. I doubt that many in Washington DC want their data held for any longer than it takes to complete the http request.
I thought they would just complete the sale, install Stuxnet, re-wrap the unit, and wish them a nice day...
Nice try, but it's a well known fact that the Stuxnet iPad app is still stuck in the app review process. Soon it will have to be recalled so it can be made compatible with iOS 6 and then resubmitted. I'm sure if they had made it a paid app rather than a free app the review process would have gone smoother./sarcasm
The main issue is that this video is not an accurate depiction of lab work. It's an idiotic thing that would have been a great 80s music video.
But that video is an accurate depiction of the science of marketing. Sexist, misleading, uninformative, and attention grabbing (even if it is of the wrong reasons).
This is great news, and wonderful progress, but a sample of 10 patients isn't big enough. Hopefully this will get into full trials soon and then make it to market.
I think he's confusing it with the CLR, which does the JIT compilation of the CIL. And I've heard it referred to (less lazily) as the "intermediate runtime language", which would be IRL. O_o
Alphabet Madness!
Takes me back to the days when MS switched from ADO to DAO... or was it the other way around?
That was an oversight on my part. It's just so easy to overlook them these days. I'd like to see RIM recover and produce a new product that's successful (and use a completely different marketing company).
What you actually meant to say is we need competition from more than two companies. Whether or not MS succeeds is irrelevant. The fact that Google could emerge as power player late in the mobile market is an example that other companies can compete.
Yes, more than two is important, though the mobile pie is big enough for four, five or more companies. Too many will simply lead to consolidation with users being orphaned, but there is still room for new ideas and products from anyone who wants to take their shot.
A lot of Apple fans and MS haters may be tempted to cheer, but the loss of 10,000 jobs in this economy means 10,000 families whose lives will been up-ended and that sucks no matter what phone you're rooting for.
It's a bit presumptuous to say people are rooting for Nokia employees to lose their jobs or for the company to close down. Yes, there are plenty of MS haters, and they aren't all Apple fans. Personally, I want Apple, Android & MS to succeed in the mobile market because it drives competition and development. Nokia slipping away doesn't do anything to force the others to continue to be innovative or creative.
Queue the replies from people wanting MS to suffer at the expense of Nokia employees and those who will declare that <insert name of company here> hasn't innovated in [year/ever].
Many insurance plans don't pay for them. Medicare doesn't pay for hearing aids unless the hearing loss is the aftereffect of an accident. They generally don't cover hearing tests either. Medicare and hearing aids.
Sue the Government. Might not work, but there is no reason why they can't be sued.
Yes [ ] - I would like to sue the US Government, endure a lifetime of tax audits, have my life turned upside-down & inside-out by the FBI, lose my job and family, and be laughed out of court by a Federal Judge for seeking reasonable redress for the bad acts of my government.
No [ ] - I was only filling out this form as part of a high school civics assignment.
I would like to see what happens if Iran decided to extradite some U.S.A. citizen involved in Flame or Stuxnet, what would this look like?? Whats the difference? The money and power of U.S.A.?
Parent is not 'flamebait' - it's a legitimate question. The answer is Yes, it's our money and power. The US government throws its weight around to get US friendly (or US business friendly) laws & treaties passed around the world. It's a byproduct of being a superpower and having a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. The globe is an international chess match between a slowly changing group of players. As long as we dole out influence, aid and weapons we will be seen and be treated differently than most countries.

A professional sysadmin on call should have multiple devices ready to roll, and not just depend on one dinky one.
There's a reason samurai had two swords, or cowboys carried a boot knife...
Exactly ... just in case they needed to stab a server ... or a user. ;-)
Actually, it's a Simspons reference from "The Simpsons: Grift of the Magi (#11.9)" (1999)
...and signed with the e-mail address killerking247@yahoo.com.
... ... ...yeah, sounds totally legit! This most be...uuhh...the king of all Hitmen! Or something...
It was probably because Killer Queen was taken by Freddie Mercury and the boys back in 1974 ;-)
This all seems familiar, but $5000 doesn't seem dirt cheap...
Dirty deeds, indeed.

Lets see, one of the most well known trait of psychopaths is their tendency to lie.
Is that true ... or are you just a psychopath?
So, you mean, is there any hope for me?
Sure there is. First, you'll seek twitter therapy and twitter assimilation resistance resistance. If that succeeds your tweets will be indistinguishable from 99% of the population (and most of your followers will finally be able to understand them).

Found my old boxed copy of SuSE 8.1 recently. Linux was actually good back then. Almost 10 years have past and Linux has gotten worse on the desktop.
Isn't that right about the time someone declared "This is the year of Linux on the desktop!"?

Show me evidence of a glitchy driver causing a loud squealing noise ...
Actually, installing Linux drives usually results in a loud squealing noise ... coming from Redmond.
Woosh
In 2013 the iPhone 6 will be released, and in 2014 the iPhone 7.
You must be using the new & improved Crystal Ball app included in iOS 6! That's amazing!
