Unless Yahoo is hosting the files, why on Earth should they be responsible for refusing to change their search results? The last thing we need is for search providers to drop results just because they're illegal.
Yahoo was the first to respond. They said they get all of their search results from Microsoft via Bing and referred me to Microsoft. So no luck there.
I don't care who they get their search results from. They are the site provider and are responsible for following the DMCA. Failure to do so will strip them of their safe harbor provisions and open them up to liability alongside Hamstersoft.
Absolutely right, a bar tender should never be allowed to cut someone off when they've had too much without going through a court system.
That is a poor analogy at best, since most states in the US have statutes requiring bartenders to "cut off" anyone who is obviously intoxicated. Employees can be held both criminally and civilly responsible for failing to do so. ISPs are in the opposite situation where they are immune from liability for content that just passes through their network.
I'm an AT&T customer and I'm not being punished by this action. In fact, since I'm not in the top 5% of data users (as the others have already said) I actually might benefit from this.
Time to build and market a license plate bracket that is loaded with IR LEDs to overload the camera's sensor. It could be powered from a tap off of the license plate light socket, at least in the back. You would want to run it off of a source that is always on when the ignition is on.
That's just it - I can't remember ever having an exchange with a county, city, state or federal agency where I had a measurement like that taken
I am in Ohio and when you renew your driver's license they require you to take a rudimentary vision test. It takes a minute or two but it would be a perfect time to acquire this information if you happen to be a member of the tinfoil hat crowd.
Finally, this will only work if you're already in the system, right? So it will only reduce time on those folks that have already been caught, had their picture taken, and are then caught again by a cop with this application in a jurisdiction where the cop can access the data?
Ever take an eye exam while renewing your driver's license? Your iris scans may already be on file!
B&N also has Starbucks in their stores, which gives them a hipster mystique for those who just want to come in and sit and read and have some Starbucks coffee.
Interesting fact:
Seattle's Best Coffee, which was the coffee featured in and the focus of the coffee shops in Borders, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Starbucks.
isn't that 'fruit of the poisoned tree' when you go looking for one thing, don't find it but stumble on another? if your warrant is for X, you are allowed to look for X. if Y shows up, its an illegal search.
It would only be ruled as poisoned if the original search warrant for 'X' were found illegal or improper. As long as the original warrant was legal and justified, then anything else they find is fair game also. There are limits of course. Although not related to the "poisoned fruits" discussion, if the police have a warrant to search your garage looking for a stolen riding lawn mower, they have no right to open a closed cigar box that was in a cabinet and subsequently find your stash. A cigar box could not possibly hold the lawn mower so they have no right or reason to look for it in there.
It's not a donation if you are required to pay it. If the tax code requires you to pay it, then pay it.
And which tax code would that be? The state the web server is in? The state Amazon is incorporated in? The state that I am in? Please keep in mind that sales tax is state based and that no state has the authority to tax intrastate commerce.
Similarly the various states' creating a "use" tax is morally bankrupt. If I call a dog's tail a leg, how many legs does the dog have?
Facebook aided Israel in cracking down on the group of activists from the UK, France, and Belgium who planned their event using the popular social networking site.
I went shopping for one of these after they had been out for a year or two. I went to the Sony store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. They wanted $800 for a portable player. They assured me that people in Japan were snapping 'em up by the dozen.
Really? I bought one at a big box electronics store (portable Sony MiniDisk player/recorder) for about $50. This was maybe 10 years ago or so. It was a lot smaller and lighter than a portable CD player at the time and cost about the same. I still use it to this day although it has gotten a lot harder to find blank media.

Although the microscope itself collects raw data, an external laptop, smartphone, or cloud-based system performs all the processing.
The spatial resolution ... is reportedly similar to that offered by low- to medium-power lenses.
At this point don't you have more in infrastructure needs than you would with a basic optical microscope?

Turns out you just check for the "__does_program_halt__" flag that's present in all ELF binaries.
I wondered why that bit was marked "possibly reserved for future use" in the spec.
Does no one use less any more?
Does any one use more any less?
I can maybe draw a diagram for you.
Sorry, this is slashdot. Can you maybe do a car analogy?

When do the semi-ballistics start running?
Do mean things that are getting on towards ballistic, or ballistic things that carry tons of cargo?
Just make sure the funding check clears. It is issued by the US government after all and their credit isn't as good as it once was.

Eventually you will be in the top 5%.
The problem with that is recognizing what code is going to be reused by others and what isn't.
One way to tell is to ask if this a temporary quick fix for something. If they say yes, assume it will be in production forever.

Just for the record, these are called false dichotomies, not false dilemmas.

The editors should standardize this. The article on Stuxnet from Wired was correctly linked the other day.
What? Outrageous! I demand that editor be fired immediately!

Doesn't seem to be much in it between a nano and the far cheaper Sansa Fuze.
Really? Try putting a movie on both and see how easy it is and how well it works, then get back to us.

Well there's your problem right there.

In 2002, you probably should have gotten an mp3 player instead of a MiniDisc player.
In 2002 you should have bought stock in Apple.
