Yeah, I hear the gas stations have a plan where you can use the radio in your car. It's just separate from the drive-only plan.
I mean, wake the fuck up! You've bought a phone that has features a third party prevents you from using unless you pay them extra for an unrelated service!
We're allowed to copy, iirc, "a few copies for oneself, family and close friends" provided that the original source was legally acquired. I assume a p2p system where you only download from / upload to people you know irl would be legal.
Anyway, these claims about the Finnish market being somehow special is complete junk. The actual companies behind Teosto and Gramex are the same old RIAA, any realistic online market for music is international anyway and Finnish consumers have the same devices, habits and preferences as people listening to music anywhere.
Most scientific research doesn't have budgets far enough into the future to book $100-200k flights without knowing even which year it'll fly. Seems like a potentially huge market otherwise though.
(Translation isn't really good English; I tried to be as literal as possible)
Only when the man is in custody (Swedish term translates to "freedom deprived") and the woman in calm and peace has the time to get some perspective on her life, she has a chance to discover how shes been treated.
Through the legal process ("lagforing", maybe "taking into the legal process"), the judiciary switches the responsibility onto the one who resorts to violence. Marianne Ny is of the opinion that the legal process has a good effect as protection for the woman, even in cases where the perpetrator is prosecuted but not found guilty ("domd", condemned?)
Note that there's half a page of text between these two paragraphs, so one can't really say omitting the first is obviously taking the second out of context.
I haven't read it completely through yet, but it seems mostly reasonable. Assange's Swedish lawyer Hurtig is seen as unreliable and willfully deceiving. AT the very least he screwed up with some dates.
On (Brita Sundberg-Weitman's comments on) Marianne Ny:
She was then taken to the main passage of which complaint was made, where it says: âoeMarianne Ny is of the opinion that such proceedings (criminal prosecutions) have a beneficial effect in protecting women, even in cases where perpetrators are prosecuted but not convictedâ. She appeared to understand this passage as saying that everyone who is prosecuted is guilty and had difficulty in accepting that another interpretation is simply that there are occasions when a man is prosecuted and, for whatever reason, acquitted even though he may have been guilty. She did not appear to accept that there is a public interest in prosecuting, where the evidence justifies prosecution, even if the case results in an acquittal. It appears that the witnessâ(TM)s main objection to the paragraph quoted was a reference to âoeperpetratorsâ on the basis that the word is objectionable and biased.
I'd disagree with the "there are occasions when"-interpretation here exactly because Ny only talks about "perpetrators". The main argument against her policy of having the accused in jail to provide comfort for the victim is that some people really are innocent, people are to be considered innocent until proven guilty, and she avoids that thought completely. Swedish original, pages 8-9 for the interested.
What's even bad taste about it? TF summary links to six examples of the same thing. It's a common joke. Having a character do or say something inappropriate in front of children has been done forever.
This is just some retarded prosecutor thinking a clip of someone using dirty words in front of children is the same as a clip of someone actually fucking the children. This is just moronic. Saying "fuck" in front of little Billy is not the same as fucking little Billy.
Windows Phone 7 was lacking a lot of functionality the earlier Windows Mobile had. It's just a new not-yet-complete OS.
This makes me wonder if they're using a more agile-style approach and releasing what functionality they have completely tested instead of releasing the complete functionality regardless of what they've had time to test? It does make sense in a phone OS.
It would mean something if the value of the bitcoins in circulation equaled the value of dollars in circulation. Managing a total value of $20M isn't peanuts though.
Unless it's included in "entertainment services" she seems to have made a mistake. Perhaps she realized that having the trademark listed for pornography would make her a laughing stock? It's also possible that wouldn't be granted because of prior art. Does prior art count for trademarks?
what does it have to do with this world? multiverse cannot be science, it's talking about unobservables.
If there's a proposed mechanism that causes observable effects and also produces many bubble universes, why would the side effect make it unscientific?
It's supposed to be repeatably measurable. The best way of doing it is not just any random one that's exactly defined, but one that's easy to replicate.
They just found out there are loads of people who liked the first movie but have no idea the sequels were ever made. I'll laugh my ass off when I see a huge marketing push for Matrix 2 & 3.
What really irks me, though, is a seeming lack of development for inexpensive high-res monitors that go beyond "1080p". My current display is a 20" 4:3 ratio 1600x1200 unit, and if I wanted to go bigger I'd want more than 1080 rows.
I had the same dilemma a few years ago and decided to get a 2560x1600 monitor. They cost a bit more, but given the lack of progress, it'll still be high tech ten years from now. Although some 2160p TVs have been demo'd I'd call it pretty unlikely you can get those at a decent price within a decade.
"'We do not like this suggestion because it does not meet our demands,' Israel's then foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, told the Palestinians"
Things like right to exist probably aren't in it yet.
From reading some of the documents, it seems like the settlements Ariel and Ma'ale Adumim are the main things missing. They're fairly detailed and not that far from agreement. An Israeli proposal had 82% of settlers on land ceded to Israel, the Palestinian proposal had 63%. Those two have over 10% of the settlers.
30 years is too short a period to be drawing conclusions. Looking at all of the current interglacial--back 10,000 years--makes more sense: http://smpro.ca/crunch/GISP2Civil.png
On that scale, these guys' record years are chump change. If the Mann Hockey Stick is an indicator that we're leaving the current cold spell and going back to normal temperatures, we can expect lots of "record years" for the next 200-500 years before it turns around again.
Using several sources instead of one will give you a better picture of the global temperature. In particular, the +- 3-4C variance within just a few thousand years is something you'd never get globally. Ice ages are only a 10C dip.

Actually, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene#Mechanical_properties, "Measurements have shown that graphene has a breaking strength 200 times greater than steel, with a tensile strength of 130 GPa (19,000,000 psi)."

Does anyone know more on this?
It will probably turn out that apple or someone have a patent on a part of it and get it banned...
Yeah, the worst case scenario is that, despite the obvious prior art, these guys can't afford to fight the patent in court.
Depends on what they cost, of course. Are they a lot more expensive in the US than in Finland? Here's what I found on a local operator's page:
Mobiililaajakaista Mini 0,5 Mbit/s 4,90 eur/month
Mobiililaajakaista Perus 1 Mbit/s eur/month
Mobiililaajakaista Nopsa Up to 15 Mbit/s 13,90 eur/month
No monthly limits, if that matters.

According to Wikipedia, the ISS orbits at 344-359km, or 186-194 nautical miles.
Some calculations give a top speed for SpaceShipTwo at 1/7th of the ISS's orbital velocity, so they're pretty far off.

Apparently they are extraditing him with the purpose of prosecuting him, not just to question him.
Read page 14 onwards in the verdict. This is far from straightforward.

They are still millions to billions times the mass of the sun, dividing by 2-10 doesn't make that much difference.

The most absurd part is that the stuff he's excited about makes no sense. Did he use a Dilbert press release generator?
