The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.
This is not true. The idea that the police can prevent crime is what is causing many of these problems. The basic role of the police is to prevent vigilante justice after crimes have been committed, which is what would take place without police. If you want to cede all of your rights and free will, then go ahead and allow the police the power to "prevent crime", but that is neither possible nor a good thing for a free society.
This is a solar eclipse because the Sun is being obscured. In a lunar eclipse the Moon is being obscured. If you're on the moon there are no lunar eclipses.
If things always have the same name regardless of where they are viewed, why can't I get to my home coputer by typing "localhost"?
I was at a company that had to cut either the IT manager or tech and chose wrong. They kept the clueless manager, while the tech changed the passwords on the way out the door AND sent the insulting email to "allusers". Once it became clear that the manager had failed to disable access to the guy he was firing and did not know how to reset the passwords, they fired him and rehired the tech.
If a movie *didn't* ship with that garbage at the front then if you did copy it (or use it in a manner in which you're not supposed to), then it may be possible to argue, in court, that because there was no notice saying that you couldn't do what you did, you were therefore entitled to do it.
Sure. Just like those people who aren't walking around with "Don't kill me" signs are risking being murdered, because their killers would have no basis for being prosecuted.
Maybe they don't use any unknown means and we are able to detect their signals. Imagine someone 100 years ago detecting modern cell phone signals. Would they know it was being sent by intelligent beings? Even if they could decode the signal, what would they make of "LOL L8R DUDE".
Pretty easy to check. Compare the same song purchased by two different Amazon accounts. If they're the same - no identifying information.
Almost as easy for iTunes. Compare the songs again and note where the differences are. Should be simple to figure out what bits to blast. A little perl code could do it in a few minutes.
How would a judge know? The judge should just be impartially applying the law, not looking at the facts of the case and jumping to conclusions for one side or the other. If the case deserves to be dismissed, that motion can be made by the defendant. You could argue that a defendant should not need a lawyer to get a meritless case dismissed, but I think it is rare enough that it is not something to change court procedures for.
This is marketing-speak for what anti-spammers call "opt-out" spam. What a feature! I don't have to go to all the trouble of signing up for messages that I don't want to get, but I do have to find out how to stop them.
"I think we're getting too reliant on trusting other people to keep our data."
Businesses consider the data on you to be their data, not yours. They may allow you access to it as a service which you can pay for, but they do not believe that you have any right to it after you are no longer a customer.
On the other hand, they don't reuse account numbers and don't delete any records that they don't have to, so the data is all still there, just not accessible by you.
I think when you are canceling any account that you deal with by online access, it is fairly easy to just bring up the history pages and dump the entire webpages to local disk and burn a DVD or something.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that current scientific thinking is that some introns may actually be important after all. DNA is more weird than any of the early researchers could've imagined...
It may be important, but by definition it doesn't "express" anything. Anything which expresses proteins is called an exon.

Not true. Book publishers are making new mistakes also.
Look at Grove. They have been selling product placements in their novels.
For once, even the summary got it right: these are the 50 most influential CONSOLE games. PC games and arcade games were not in the list.

Can someone summarize exactly what we have achieved in this case?
The outcome was a complete success. Windows 95 no longer dominates the desktop.

Thanks. I looked at "flying a man into a bigger fan" and thought that sounded really messy.

So where does this command line program print errors? Or any output? The things the Run command are good for are to start cmd or regedit.
More likely it was someone who got an email with the subject:
MAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN YOUR SPARE TIME!!!!!
Or that it took as much time to load Acrobat from DOS on my 486 as on a modern system?
Just delete the stupid plugins that you will never need and Acrobat loads just fine.

Good idea. I just called your bank and transferred $10,000. Worked fine.

What is the answer?
The answer is that slashdotting provides a positive force on the server regardless of the medium.

I'm pretty sure they all use the "discussion forums/politics" section of Craigslist.
