Am I mistaken in thinking that Facebook's terms and conditions require you to be thirteen or older? And therefore, did the school not have a valid concern?
Behaviour on social networks is clearly relevant to a sexual harassment case, the only question is whether the provider should provide the information given that there would be security concerns about revealing a password to anyone, regardless of whether they are court appointed.
Firefox is merely following Google's example with Chrome. For reference, Chrome is currently version 20 on my machine and still looks remarkably similar to version 1.
Probable cause? Odour, pupil dilation, behaviour. You can smell a dope user from a distance and you don't need to be a trained sniffer dog to do so, either.
...and if you'd read my comment you'd have seen that I acknowledged this and differentiated what Apple did with the iPhone in aiming for mass market with what Nokia did with the N900 in aiming for or marketing to a niche.
The difficulty with the N900 was that they introduced one phone. As an N900 user (still) I know that the N900 is not for everyone, and was targeted more at the tech-savvy user than your bog standard just-want-a-phone-that-works user. Not everyone wants a built in keyboard or a phone that large. In fact, one of the reasons I haven't changed phone is that it is so difficult to get a decent phone with a slide-out keyboard, similar the the N900. Suggestions welcomed...
Nokia needed to produce several phones around a similar theme aimed at different users, or do what Apple did and produce one phone to a very high standard aimed at the average user, not at a niche market (80/20 rule). Doing what they did was narrow minded and poor business sense.
Nokia's support for developers was, frankly, not an enjoyable experience. This is where being part of the Windows universe will be an advantage to Nokia as that will be Microsoft's responsibility, not their own.
They might not be explosive, but magnetic tapes burn at an extremely high temperature, circa 1000 degrees C. If you have a fire in your server room and there are tapes in there, even ones that are in protective containers, the fire brigade will not let you in for several days as it takes that long for the burnt remains of a tape to cool down to a safe temperature.
Having tapes in your server room is likely to delay your disaster recovery substantially. Tapes remain the cheapest solution, but the idea that they are the appropriate solution for mission critical data is a flawed one.
Cyber attacks on IT systems would become a criminal offence punishable by at least two years in prison throughout the EU under a draft law backed by the Civil Liberties Committee on Tuesday.
The maximum penalty to be imposed by Member States for these offences would be at least two years' imprisonment, and at least five years where there are aggravating circumstances such as the use of a tool specifically designed to for large-scale (e.g. "botnet") attacks, or attacks cause considerable damage (e.g. by disrupting system service), financial costs or loss of financial data.
At first glance these two paragraphs do appear to be contradicting each other - but it isn't clear which of these paragraphs is an EU press release and which is the journalist's interpretation. The article (and as a result the slashdot summary) may be misinterpreting the press release.
"maximum" may be a misprint here, or, the EU may, as usual, be trying to obfuscate the intent of their legislation.
Selenium is not available in anything like the required quantities for a start.
Selenium is neither cheap nor easy nor green nor particularly safe to mine. Almost all solar electric devices currently use Selenium.
Calling Solar energy green whilst we need to use Selenium in solar cells involves imitating an ostrich. Hopefully the next generation of Solar cells will not require Selenium.
As a UK citizen, I have to question the sanity of this judgement. The gentleman in question is suspended from Swansea University at present (and, of course, unable to attend as he is in jail). He has admitted being very drunk when he tweeted. He has admitted initially claiming that his twitter account had been hacked after realising what he had done.
It is hardly a good use of a prison place, or cost effective, or a deterrent to put a drunk student who has done something stupid in jail. If we did that to every drunk stupid student just in Swansea, we'd have jails overflowing even more than they are now, every night of the week.
A long period of Community service and a requirement to do a meaningful race relations awareness course and, perhaps, a ban from social networks and alcohol would have been more than sufficient. Jail? It serves no useful purpose in this case and is ridiculous, and I say that as someone who is usually for longer prison sentences for proper (meaning violent) offenders.
It now transpires that in fact, what I've just written, if it is considered to criticise the judiciary, may well be breaking the UK Law: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17522730
Now I hate Peter Hain as much as the next man, but that's law's more of an ass than he is.
There's a reason that jokes start "An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a bar..." - the Welshman was already there from the night before.
I don't know. I travelled all the way to HD 189733b, I was promised snow showers, wispy clouds, high winds. But, just my luck, it rained. It must be because I'm Welsh.
...and the key phrase there is "if cared for". It usually isn't. I even saw a picture of a so-called professional archivist handling a letter written by King Henry VIII the other day. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-17258508
And when I say handling I mean holding with bare hands, no gloves, no precautions to protect the document taken. When so-called experts are treating documents of historic importance with such contempt, is it any surprise that we have so few remaining paper documents from any more than 500 years ago? They have to survive sunlight, damp, war, flood, accidental damage, fire, leaks, uprisings and human stupidity. Considering that, it's amazing we have any left, actually.
Of course the key consideration is backup. The standard method of backup of books these days is electronic. The Library at the British Museum has digitized most of its collection now. Slashdot loves to trash google over its scan of thousands of books; whilst the copyright ownership issues leave a lot to be desired, if just one important work is saved because Google scanned it then there will have been an upside.
Your entire argument is destroyed by quoting the single most dubious tabloid newspaper in existence - the Sun newspaper. There is no reason why anyone should trust a word they say. The Sun hires liars and spouts bile continuously. I wouldn't even wipe my backside with it.
Oil is a fungible commodity. Demand always outstrips supply. The American public (or any other country for that matter) and their use of fuel are not relevant to the price of oil/gas/petroleum
The Pirate Party is totally irrelevant here in the UK. I live in Worcester; their leader stood here at the last General election and he lost his deposit. He gained under 100 votes. There were joke candidates standing for charitable or mental health reasons who garnered more votes than him. They are not a visible group, did not and do not have voting power and are considered a joke by those in power, so they do not, as you wrongly claim, have the ability to shape the politics of those in power.

Right click near the top of the screen and put a check next to "Menu Bar". Problem solved.

They've added some little things like requiring some movement in the face (eg, blinking), so it's mildly surprising that a static photo can trick it.
Given that my son's camera consistently detected the Mona Lisa blinking, I'm not surprised at all.

Irradiating sperm should count, right?
It depends whether they have already managed to procreate, doesn't it?
