On the other hand, haggis will probably be one of the few foods that can overpower the intrinsic taste of teeth made from piggy cells basted in rat guts.
I was just about to file my smug bastard return for the year, but had to re-figure it. It seems pointing out to you how I don't follow sports and needed to Google "A-Rod" to get your reference has bumped me into the next higher smug bracket.
The aritcle is decidely non-technical, beyond saying the infringement was over "a technology," and "a method for allowing Internet calls to reach traditional phone lines." Anyone have any real details on what's being fought over?
there are two kinds of workers: segmentors and integrators. Segmentors want to maintain a strict separation between work and home while integrators don't mind mixing the two.
Am I the only one who immediately got the "three kinds of people" speech from "Team America: World Police" stuck in their head upon reading this?
I don't understand why people insist on using the latest "security-unknown-or-not-good" device(s) when perfectly good methods of "understood-amount-of-risk" security already exist.
Because the first round of early adopters of the latest bleeding-edge devices are typically the overpaid executives eager to blow the cash on the latest status symbol gadget to prove how advanced and important they are, while the educated nerds will continue using the old perfectly good methods for vital things while waiting for said early adopters to get zapped by the fist wave of major bugs. Only after the canon fodder has done its job will most nerds depend on said gadget for anything important.
The logs are also saved to plaintext files, you don't need to use the SL app to access them. You can also grab screenshots of whatever visual material is presented.
I tried to get a Memjet, but accidentally bought Memejet instead. Now all I get are pictures from "All Your Base," "Yatta!," "Real Ultimate Power," and that guy in the homemade Tron costume.
In the same way, I have found myself downloading MP3's of music that I already own on CD because it is faster for me to download the music that I already have, than to go through my CD collection and rip all the music.
This is where it gets even more interesting. If as they say you are only buying a license to listen to the tracks on a CD, are you still guilty of pirating even though by their definition you're allowed to have those tracks? What's the real legal difference between obtaining MP3s from the CDs yourself, or getting them from others who have already done that job?
I'm sure upper management has known the truth for ages. The really real question is how long before this guy is booted out of upper management for daring to admit such a thing to the public.
You're just jealous because you haven't spent the past several years building a sacred Mesoamerican ball court in your cornfield. If I build it they will come...
For example, the researchers noted that such pages were far more prevalent in Google's blogspot.com service than in other hosting domains.
Interesting how Microsoft just happens to single out Google's blogspot among all the web services spammers manage to abuse. I wonder how much stock to put in that.
Then again, TFA is written by John Markoff. I can't say I put much stock in anything he writes.
Exactly! I hate to be the righteous bastard that's always insisting people look on the bright side, but I for one wouldn't mind all those statuions on Shoutcast or whatever becoming a haven for the countless unsigned and independent bands on the Internet.
You'd think the industry would recognize the fact that the Internet is where more and more people are actually choosing and buying their music nowadays, and would avoid crapping on Internet-based music fans... but then again, this is the bloated and clueless mainstream music industry we're talking about.
Well, there was that time I patronized a hooker, then immediately afterward bludgeoned her to death, and plucked the money I paid her from where it was floating in the air several inches above her slowly vanishing corpse... wait, that was years before GTA came out. Never mind.
Why not have some sort of mechanism for releasing unused patents completely into the public domain after they idle for a certain amount of years? Wouldn't some sort of "use it or lose it" clause be in the best interests of everyone who isn't a lazy patent-trolling bastard?

I don't know what's more awesome, that photo or its URL.

Maybe it landed on Chris Kattan.

Your turn.
Hell, I think I may have owned the name at one point.
Somebody get that quote onto a clever t-shirt on Cafepress or something, because I want to wear it NOW.
