Culture doesn't justify letting someone off the hook for a crime potentially exposing others to the same fate, no matter where you live. Also, I suggest you learn a little bit about the person you're posting about, before making bigoted assumptions about their nationality.
The author is just too naive, or cowardly to deliver his friend's son with legal action. In the end the author tries to spin this little story as a 'I'm the bigger man' tale instead. The author is at this point just enabling him, like his parents. This is a 17 year old who's in college. He's a danger to himself and others, and any additional damage caused by him will also be in the author's head. What did he learn from this? Cry when you get caugh, and your actions have no consequences.
I'm so fed up with this aswell, Apple isn't a fucking punctuation mark!
On top of it Apple fanboys/girls are generally so cluelesly stupid that whatever compliment they are giving Apple half the time is bullshit. LIKE THIS TIME!!! Apple didn't pioneer that business model! Slashdot WTF?
They're the only ones significantly investing in Linux desktop development. Even if it's just games for now, it will set a lot of groundwork to build on top of.
Wikileaks released cables that showed the US had threatened to put Sweden on the WTO’s black list if they refused to deal with the Pirate Bay 'problem'. So either Sweden actually stood to lose more than the 59.4m by doing nothing or the money came directly from the US. Either way, the US is being a bully once again.
This is why everyone should vote Romney. While he is just as much of an asshole as Obama and many others before him, at least he'll burn the country to the ground for good.
The 'He never failed a drug test' statement he, and his defenders keep spiting out it just a straw-man argument.
There are many allegations that he did fail several tests that were covered up, with the respective money trail as proof. But that accusation is weak, so they focus there.
Anyone who understands doping in cycling knows these days everyone who's careful can ace those tests every time and still be doping. There are several ways of doing this, but the most used is through blood transfusions.
One major piece of evidence in this case is that several experts analyzed his blood and on several samples they found, among other residual traces of other illegal substances, EPO, which only gets into your blood one way, by doping. Other substances they can get away with saying 'Hey my cough medicine had some of that shit and was really sick the other day!', EPO you get on your blood by putting it there intentionally. His excuse is that the levels aren't enough for a technical positive, and he is right, but the level variations across several samples detected and analyzed by experts, clearly indicate manipulation of EPO levels in his blood stream.
That allied with several sworn testimonies of witnesses who say they saw him dope, his refusal to let experts take a look at the urine and blood samples of the first couple of Tour the France he won, having a couch that also facilitated the doping of other athletes that were caught, and many other less solid arguments, all tell the clear tale of someone who's carefully walking the line of what technically constitutes cheating. When he is caught he pays up, when suspicion arises, he invokes technicalities, or accuses others of lying, the drug lab testers included who had no way of knowing whose urine or blood they were testing.
The USADA sees this and so do the majority of apparently unbiased experts at their disposal. He's a cheater and was banned as he should. I pity the true athletes that this asshole raced against that just saw all their efforts rendered pointless through all this years. He'll be lucky if he's not sued by his sponsors and colleges as well, which he most definitely deserves.
Shouldn't the usefulness of potential features be considered aswell?
This purity you speak of could just as easily be disturbed by the features added with C11, which are also present in other programming languages.
I would like _some_ OOP with C, C++ has too much, if I can frase it that way.
GObject, Objective-C, Vala are good examples of projects trying to fill that gap but they come with their own set of drawbacks.
Why didn't they include some simple OOP features aswell?
I understand this is a language for low level programming, and needs to be close to the metal, but many OOP features don't carry any significant overhead, and could just be avoided anyway.
If you know something about cryptography it isn't that horrifying.
There are current encryption technologies already deployed in the market that allow for two sets of data to be encrypted with two keys into a single file. This allows a user to encrypt a sensitive file with an innocuous one, so that when required to disclose a private key the user can just give the one that decrypts the innocent data.
Again, these new laws will only deteriorate the right to privacy of innocent people, while the real criminals will be allowed to roam free doing their dirty deeds with little more trouble then a software upgrade.
If you read the text on SlashDot linked to above you will see that we are not unreasonable, we just don't want our app that people have bought to be deleted without the owners permission or knowledge - as has happened with numerous "big" companies.
When contacting these "big" companies - including Symantec about the problem they simply refuse to reply - we initially tried to contact them all about 9 months ago in order to bring about some kind of cooperative agreement, with information about detecting out program as a commercial keylogger and about uninstalling our program safely (if the user decided to do so).
Our point is that commercial programs are different that trojans written by criminals. It is fair that they are pointed out by the anti-virus/trojan program, but not fair that they are automatically deleted. The user should be told that they are a commercial keylogger or similar and the default action should be to not delete. AVG by comparison deleted them without informing the user.
We are open about what ports are being used and we do not try to bypass firewalls or shutdown anti-virus programs. All are easily possible as you probably well know and we feel that comparing it to programs written by criminals is unfair.
We, as a company, are very easy to contact - if we had been contacted/replied to by the anti-virus companies (initially - before we had to put the download notice up) we would have told them how to safely uninstall the client program, and we would have also told them of a special flag - that if present would stop the client from installing again in the future. They would also have been given information that would have told the user WHO was attempting to spy on them! The condition would have been as above - that the user be informed that it was a commercial program and the default action would have been not to uninstall.
Sunbelt will soon be given this information in the hope that other companies will follow in the way they list the program (if detected).
Your logic is flawed.
What you're doing is assuming he is guilty before proving otherwise.
He, has an innocent person, has the right to freedom until someone can find something in that disc that justifies taking it from him, not the other way around.
So someone's rights are violated because it's more convinient to the police?
Don't they have electronic bracelets?
And even if he escapes, so what? You cooperate with international police to get him back.
You don't just deny someone's rights because it's more convinient to do so then to be competent at your work.
I think internet ads aren't that much different from TV ads or any other kind, some ads we like, some we don't, some are interesting, some are funny, the problem with some internet ads is that some of them are too intrusive, to the point of annoying some people, and thus giving a bad name to the rest of the ads, so i guess some people just preffer not to be bothered by that small minority of ads and just cancel them all.
Advertisers should learn from past examples, good and bad, and try to inovate in the most productive directions and not just try to outsmart the adblocking software out there. =)
Yeah it does buy a bit of time, but if the robot is away from the sniper, well, the sniper has no reason to shot, if it finds a reason to shot, say a person, and the robot is away, it's purpose, preventing human lives from being lost, is sort of defeated. I though the robot would be in front of every other unit, and when in range it could be shot, STILL... =)
It was sugested in this thread that there could be multiple robots, and that seems to solve the problem, however fast the sniper may be it couldn't take out two of the robots without one of them having his position, of course he could still shot a second robot, but by then it would have his position in some sort of well armoured device.
What's stoping the sniper from shoting the robot?
The bullet is faster then the sound it makes.
You can tell me the robot is bullet proof, but how about the camera and the laser?
They say the thing is small, is it fully bullet proof?
I'm not questioning if the undies are boxers or not, but the sweating preventing action it carries.
You may be right though, it may not stop the sweat, but prevent it, by keep the testicles cool. Silver is known to be, as gold, a very good conductor, so it may just be conducting the heat away from the skin, and that way preventing it from swaeting.
