They wanted to remove all links between themselves and Miivi. When there definately was a link. They knew it was true, they just didn't want anyone else to know about it.
That's not the intended use of the tool that is Wikipedia.
Perhaps instead of trying to bury the problems with lawsuits they could actually fix the problems, release a new version with the issues resolved and post that fact in the forum itself.
That way anyone that goes to look at that forum link off google can see the company pro-actively fixing any issues. Seems like a good form of advertising to me.
Sorry - but that's utter bullshit. A nuclear weapon requires a very specific (and complex) preparation and arming sequence - part of which is done onboard the aircraft by the pilot. It's absolutely impossible to not know the difference. (And if the bomb is dropped without those sequences being performed correctly - it's inert. It won't detonate.)
I would have thought that it would have been absolutely impossible for nuclear warheads to somehow get out of storage and loaded onto the wings of a B-52 and flown across the USA without anyone noticing until they landed.
Good point. the only problem then is where do you get an iPhone without actually signing yourself up for the contract.
And the only way I can think of would be buying one second hand, meaning someone else signed up to the contract, meaning you are buying a stolen phone.
Comparing Air/road vs. train and rocket/shuttle vs. space elevator isn't really equivalent...
Maybe if after every flight or car trip you threw the car or plane (or bus or whatever) away and couldnt use it again (or at least a large proportion of the vehicle was thrown away).
And if the cost of fuel for air/road travel was orders of magnitude more expensive than the fuel/propulsion for train travel. Yes the R+D still needs to be spent on the space elevator, but that doesnt mean the same amount wasnt already spent on Car/plane R+D.
And where exactly are you going to get rocket fuel from in 200 years time? let alone anytime closer to infinity? (If you are suggesting something else will be used other than rocket fuel in the future that is probably going to cost a lot in R+D as well).
and Behe may not be evangelical but he is definately bible believing.
He is a practising Catholic (not that there is anything wrong with that) and in the "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District" the judge found in his final ruling that:
"Consider, to illustrate, that Professor Behe remarkably and unmistakably claims that the plausibility of the argument for ID depends upon the extent to which one believes in the existence of God."
There are a few other good findings from that case on the Behe wikipedia page that are worth a read.
That may or may not be a screenshot, but I am holding off on visiting random bayimg pages until I know whether TPB counts goatse as worthy of censorship.
You can still copy a letter/document and leave the original. Photo, scanner, photocopier. Just because its not digital doesnt mean it cant be copied leaving the original intact.
what if it is taken from you? and your details start showing up in music files all over P2P networks worldwide?
I suppose you could just say that you had your MP3 player stolen and you didn't actually share the files....but then you would say that wouldn't you you little pirate...
There was a proposal back in March 2006 by the Labour party (main opposition) in Australia for a national firewall that was first rejected by the in power Liberal party and then considered. Can't find the original article but there is a couple of quotes here. The idea being
"international websites would be banned by the Australian Communications and Media Authority if they contained graphic sexual or violent material, rated R or higher."
because "It was "too hard" for many parents to install internet blockers on their computers to prevent offensive material being downloaded"
And an article on the Liberal party considering the proposal here.
Didn't hear much more on it after this, I suppose someone with half a clue had a quiet word with these tossers and let them know just how difficult that would be to put in place and enforce. (I would like to say they decided against it because it's a stupid idea but I imagine it's just because it was too difficult).
Looks like this Jim McAlpine thinks it would be a good idea to put it in place. Apparently great minds think alike, looks like idiots do the same.
Sort of similar theme, I like this one.
You have to diffuse the bomb to stop the alarm. Gets your brain woring so (hopefully) you are wide awake by the time you turn it off and dont go back to sleep. I can't see this one surviving a bad hangover though.
companies like Verizon have seen their old pricing model prove inadequate over time, and they want to distance themselves from the previous model.
They only want to distance themselves from the cost of actually delivering the old pricing model. They are perfectly happy to still reap the profits from it though.
If someone is shopping around for an ISP and there are two available with similar pricing, and one advertises a 5GB limit and one is "Unlimited" they will obviously go for the unlimited - even if they will rarely or ir ever reach that cap, or even know what a GB is. Therefore Verizon are reaping the benefits of the old model, they just dont want to actually have to pay to provide the bandwidth to the people that would actually use that much.

Speaking of smart people.
My favorite quote from the article/emails:
(while discussing communications between the Miivi site and its "customers")
"Make sure MediaDefender can not be seen in any of the hidden email data crap that smart people can look in."

"etc."?
that would be about as useful as the "k" tag that is on there already.
I would have thought that it would have been absolutely impossible for nuclear warheads to somehow get out of storage and loaded onto the wings of a B-52 and flown across the USA without anyone noticing until they landed.
But you learn something new everyday.
either that or blending.
You may want to rethink that strategy. There might be other people out there like you that decide 99 million is absurd enough to beat everyone else.
Yes, I though interesting too.
But the moderators say Funny and we all know that the majority is always right.....right? everyone? or is that just with ants?
From TFA "Ants aren't smart," Gordon says. "Ant colonies are."
But apparently...

Theres a brief mention of the scanner in shredder stuff here:
but absolutely no reference to the source of the claim and cant find any other reference to it.
>>you'll probably find there are suddenly a lot fewer doctors and nurses.
:-D
If you have a replicator then only one doctor and one nurse is enough.
You can still copy a letter/document and leave the original. Photo, scanner, photocopier. Just because its not digital doesnt mean it cant be copied leaving the original intact.
>>I buy music and don't give it away
what if it is taken from you? and your details start showing up in music files all over P2P networks worldwide?

"Just have to wonder how on earth US government hasn't cracked on Scientology and hard."
You know the bit about Scientology having lots of cash right? I think you can guess the rest.
I imagine it's so that they can push nails in with their bare hands what with all the hammers being confiscated.

5 nautical miles is approx 5.75 miles.
A340 typical cruising speed = 544 mph.
So covers 5 nautical miles in about 38 seconds.
Pretty close if you ask me.
Your French accent sounds very German.
