The well-named federal CAN SPAM law explicitly preempts state and local laws to allow spamming, so the Oklahoma law was already superceded. By providing a way to reach them and a working opt-out link, Omega met the low bar set by CAN-SPAM. The fact that you would have to be crazy to click on an opt-out link in a spam email didn't matter to Congress, and matters even less to a judge interpreting Congress' intent.
The point is: complain to Congress about the bad law, not the judiciary who have to play the hand that they're dealt.
A copy of Knuth is worthless without some practical reference textbooks to go with it. It's one thing to be able to find an algorithm written in MIX, and quite another to create the best possible implementation using the most up-to-date tools.
"I wonder how did they manage to recover data from the bananadisk"
Swap the electronics card with a good disk. The drive platters and heads are sealed and unlikely to have been affected. The only thing you lose is the calibration and bad block maps, which can be recreated.
Let's see, $4 billion / 8.6 million patients = only $465 per patient just for their share of the IT budget. I wonder why medical costs are out of control?
trash pickup has to be tax-based, because otherwise people would find some other way to dump: on public land, in McDonalds trash bins, whatever.
If you make a consumption-based service "free", then you get uncontrolled overuse. People would heat their homes with electricity rather than have to pay for gas or oil, even though it's less efficient.
Anyway, regardless of whether wireless power is regulated or not, it's coming from the same place that wired power is coming from, so there's no reason for any special interests to be upset.
Agreed. I spent 5 years at a cool place that did Pascal. Residual skills = zero. Never regretted it. Working with smart people you admire far outweighs being a high-paid drone.
"Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes in the 2004 election ended up going to Democrat John Kerry."
So it looks like it worked. Seriously, there are dirty tricks in every election. Donald Segretti is still active in politics. People who don't understand that will get the voting machines that they deserve.
How about when anyone past child-bearing age gets an overwhelming desire to tell you how you're getting fat, how well your siblings are doing compared to you and how you married the wrong person?
MS doesn't distribute Linux, so they don't violate the GPL.
Novell can make any deal that they want, as long as they don't try to pass any restrictions along with GPL code to their customers. In this case it looks like they are passing on the additonal benefit "You won't get sued by MS for patent violations".
As for everyone else, they are free to redistribute, burn CDs, modify the code, mix it with Ubuntu, etc. You can't violate an agreement that you are not a party to.
But look at what they saved over that period by getting rid of indoor ashtrays, elevator and washroom attendants, and any semblence of customer service.
Anyway, Continental provides Wi-Fi to their Presidents Club lounge, not the cattle-car tourists sitting in the regular terminal. This is not going to affect Logan's bottom line that much.
So you want to zero out the 2% of their funding that comes from government grants. Sounds OK. I assume you also want to zero the government grants that go to commercial radio stations?

That's why I'm never without my copy of True

And how many times have you been warned to run anti-virus on your laptop?
The average cost of 1Mbps of residential bandwidth in North America is six times as expensive as Japan or South Korea and four times higher than France
Now please practive saying: Yes, Lord Vader

Fortunately there are no health issues with Lithium-ion batteries. I sleep with my laptop.
Why should I have to wait 5 seconds to download a movie. Don't they have anything faster?
Would you be willing to service one of these if it was broken?
I don't have a NEXT key. Is it near the ANY key?
Very similar. At the end of the book, it was just used to heat a building.
Agreed. I spent 5 years at a cool place that did Pascal. Residual skills = zero. Never regretted it. Working with smart people you admire far outweighs being a high-paid drone.
1. The article you linked never mentions anybody getting fake id cards
2. Missouri requires photo id and proof of citzenship for all voters
3. Therapy may help your paranoia
Ummm.. voter registration is not voting so how would it reduce the effectiveness of anyone's vote? Did you even read the article that you linked to?

Right. Whatever you do, don't tell a friend or post a writeup on slashdot! Once you do either of those, you're screwed.

'There's a lot more you could do with that capability.'
Like what?
No need for EULA. FF XII is out.
The problems with this EULA are becoming acute. Their legal problems will be unparalleled. In plane speaking, I expect to see revolution.
How about a citizen of a friendly country when the US is supplying arms to their biggest enemy? China and India come to mind.
