How are they going to come up with $16 for a CD anyway?
Oh cmon. Back in 1994 at a younger age than 11, like a lot of us, I owned a SNES and if I ever wanted a particular game I would either beg my parents, save up my allowances or rent it at the local video store. Seriously, there are lots of ways for an 11 year old to come up with 16 lousy bucks.
I'd rather see more wolves being brought back into their natural environment and humans taking a step back and removing themselves from the playing field than more hunters running about shooting things.
It says "or in the direction of any person, building, structure or vehicle within the range of the weapon without having legal authority for such discharge" doesn't it? And in this case the mechanical deer is a structure is it not (depends on how they define structure but I would say so)?
I think you're trying to stretch the intent of entrapment as a legal defense a little too far there yes, you must be a lawyer? All they do is place a mechanical deer on the side of the road, step back and wait.
IANAL, but I assume discharging a firearm is illegal when doing so outside of the official hunting season. For example (after some Googling) here is a snippet out of Chapter 166 -- Offenses Against Public Order; Firearms and Other Weapons; Racketeering of the Oregon Revised Statutes:
166.220 Unlawful use of weapon. (1) A person commits the crime of unlawful use of a weapon if the person: (b) Intentionally discharges a firearm, blowgun, bow and arrow, crossbow or explosive device within the city limits of any city or within residential areas within urban growth boundaries at or in the direction of any person, building, structure or vehicle within the range of the weapon without having legal authority for such discharge.
And another quick Google turns up the following: Hunters Beware - Robo-Deer is Watching! "The man was charged with shooting from a public highway, and shooting within 500 feet of a house." B.C. natives win night-hunting case "They were charged with hunting with a firearm during prohibited hours, hunting with the aid of a light and hunting without reasonable consideration of danger to others." (it's Canada and they eventually got off, but that was for a different reason not entrapment or anything, another article on this case)
Let us not forgot that laws are based on opinion and consensus, I agree laws are necessary however censorship of entertainment such as that occurs in Germany and Australia is to put it in Penn & Teller terms, bullshit. It bothers me that government tries to manage everything there is to manage, when it comes to subjects such as this it is society that should monitor itself.
The problem is that most of these laws are not per definition unconstitutional, however that certainly doesn't make them right.
Personally I believe stores should not be permitted to sell directly to minors (-17y), however parents should be able to allow their children (10 years and older) to watch most forms of entertainment and play most if not all video games. Rating boards such as the ESRB should remain strictly advisory, as you said the education of children lies with the parents themselves and most definitively not with any organization or government.
Voters need a means by which gross miscarriages of democracy can be corrected, a means by which they can ultimately hold control over the country. That means is guns. The scarrier and more powerful the better.
You know what scares me more than the chance of my government turning into a tyrannical one, it's people that share your sentiments.
This story should be removed immediately, it being a slow news day is no excuse for posting something ridiculous as this. Amazing how this even got through.
Though I believe the point the parent was making is that you're not actually reading 1337 at all, but only a couple of letters and that your brain fills in the "blanks" using context etc. As the variation of 1337 you're using still includes normal alphabetic letters this process is made easier, though other variations would also be decipherable.
That's sound advice, from what I've noticed structure plays a very important role in creating a solid resume. When I applied for a summer internship I set up a resume by comparing sections used in resumes I found Googling, eventually it contained the following three sections: "Objective", "Education" and "Skills" (e.g. Operating Systems, Databases, Programming Languages, Methodologies). If you do have any previous working experience (unlike me) you should obviously list that too.
I based my resume on the following resumes:
Resumes of Pi Lambda Phi brothers and others with a substantial, verifiable affiliation to Pi Lam (http://www.twmacinta.com/plp/resumes/), 16 resumes in total also available as plain text.
The GPL does not require you to release your modified version. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.
Also take a look at the following whitepaper (PDF), it dispels some of the myths surrounding the GPL (it's dated 2002, but these myths/misunderstandings are still around today).
You should lighten up, it's just a blog. It's not like pictures of her little girl, dogs, flowers and friends are hurting anyone.
Anyways I guess the GP forgot to actually link to the story in case, she mentions it in the about section but doesn't link to the actual blog posts.
I started this website in February 2001. A year later I was fired from my job for this website because I had written stories that included people in my workplace. My advice to you is BE YE NOT SO STUPID. Never write about work on the internet unless your boss knows and sanctions the fact that YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT WORK ON THE INTERNET. If you are the boss, however, please don't be a bitch and talk with your hands. And when you order Prada online, please don't talk about it out loud, you rotten whore.
Anyways a quick Google turned up the post we're all looking for so here are the links from the archive (in chronological order):
Lenovo actually plans to support Linux on its ThinkPads starting in the third quarter, in partnership with Novell, Godin said. Customers of the recently introduced Lenovo 3000 units still won't have a preloaded option, however, because the small and midsize business customers that are the targets for those units have many different requirements, he said.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't

5) Since you mentioned dual boot... Partition your hard drive 3 ways. One partition for the Windows installation. One for linux. Then a third partition (formatted as FAT-32) which can be accessible from both OS's.
I use Ext2 IFS For Windows to access my GNU/Linux partition from Windows, and use NTFS Link to create symbolic links between these two for the purpose of sharing the Firefox/Thunderbird and other profiles.
This works like a charm when you dual boot a lot. This way you can keep everything on your GNU/Linux partition (ext2 or ext3) which, through the driver, Windows is able to write to. No need for a seperate FAT32 partition.
He's talking about the stupid headline, "No One Watches Online Videogame TV", which doesn't even fucking describe the article. It's not even the conclusion the article author himself makes. The article doesn't even have a real conclusion, except that he was wrong and he's probably wrong again.
Now the article isn't the holy grail, it's far from it. It takes a Forrester Research report worth $249.00, imho misuses it and throws in his own two cents. If the author had come to the conclusion made in the headline I would have been all over him, but he doesn't he actually brings up a couple of valid points. Such as:
For 99 percent of enthusiast press articles, print tells the story more quickly, more succinctly and more easily than video. Readers can browse, skip around or read the whole article. Plus, if the story links to a specific video, the readers once again have total control of their content.
Video broadcasts in their current form just aren't convenient and until they are comprehensive, navigable, and user controlled, online viewers will continue to find it much easier to skim web text.
And this article doesn't even mention ScrapBook even though it has to be one of the most revolutionary ways to organize reference material. Just check it out, it won 'Most Useful Upgraded Extension' in the Extend FF contest.

The human brain sure is powerful.

Interestingly enough if you directly go to the SWF file, you can listen to the interview without actually having Flash Player 8.
Actually this is incorrect. See "Does the GPL require that source code of modified versions be posted to the public?".

They know a thing or two about regulation too.
This is the difference: this man used to be in control, this man is in control.
You must be from that other country, Europe.

There are, how about the Extend Firefox contest or CNET download.com's Best Firefox Extensions and Optimizing Firefox.

Knowing Google's relationship with the FBI, this smells like a cover up!
