Well, somehow your geocities-like and wtf-player is that for video, you've managed to stave off any kind of/.'ing so far - you're doing something right!
I say go for it, and don't ask the public about their opinions about something "below the radar" - suddenly, the wrong concerned citizen hears about it and now your government, wherever you are, really cares about it - get to space while you can!
The firehouse is a farce! The only people going there are the people who have time to waste that wasn't already wasted on the front page. Voting a front page story up or down means it passed the sniff test, but might not perform under pressure.
But the milk example isn't silly. Ok, from the farm/factory, you send x gallons of milk on a truck somewhere else. You do many, many loads of this all the time, and gas costs a lot. Sure, finding out that a few gallons every load has gone bad even before it got on the truck is trivial, as it will be found somewhere in the chain, but you've just saved:
1) some fraction of shipping costs
2) saved the supermarket money in refunded milk
3) saved the customer the experience of rancid milk
Not at all silly if the cost is truly negligible vs what you save above.
Because when you have 2,000 gallons of milk in separate little cartons, your nose gets tired. And you've just opened 2,000 gallons of what will presumably end up as someone else's milk...with a safety seal, ensuring no one else has sniffed it.
It's like the argument about how sharing music, etc., was legal... until advances in technology made it trivially easy, and suddenly, we had to throw people in jail for decades at a go and fine them hundreds of millions of dollars for doing the exact same thing, except they were doing it faster, and better, now.
Proof that it was legal? More likely, it was much more difficult to spot. I could copy a cassette for a friend and there would be no record beyond what I knew and she knew. I'm sure that if record companies had had a way to find that kind of copying, they would have litigated the hell out of it - but, they didn't have the means or didn't want to spend the money to find some way to put someone in your bushes to see if your friends brought over a cassette with masking tape reading "The Boss - Greatest Hits" on it. Once we got to sharing online, it became trivial and inexpensive to find people sharing music illegally.
I don't agree with the way record companies go about "protecting" their copyrights, but my beef is with the laws that protect their ability to go after anyone and everyone who infringes. Believe you me, if they had a way to track down everyone with a dual-cassette player they would have gone after people left and right long before the internet became a thing.
Maybe, but what if something screws up? What if you want to test an installation setup and then try again? I don't know, you can't explain away incompetence of "admins," but you can argue some I guess. Most software developers would disagree with the notion of deleting the installer once install is complete - that's usually up to the user. You don't "make install" and the source code is gone, you don't install VLC and lose the DMG that it came on, you don't unzip and install forum software and then have no easy way to reinstall or fix a botched configuration.
That's the responsibility of the site admin, not the software writers. Granted, it's probably that easy because too many "admins" would complain at the complexity of opening up a folder to proper access for the installation - "What's this permissions stuff anyway??" You can also consider that some "admins" are going to leave doors open, no matter how many warnings and locks you put in.
Either Officer Bruch was lying or was Professor Duane wrong
So Duane was probably wrong. There, that wasn't hard, was it? But his general premise of not talking to the police is probably the best advice to take. Sure, you might get lucky and get off or get a warning or whatever, but depending on who you are or what you look like, opening your mouth may be the last thing you want to do, and far too many people probably do the opposite trying to get out of it.
The last article about whether or not we have a need for the 5th set up very strict guidelines that pretty much rendered any decent use of the amendment pointless.This time, you've admitted that the two things being presented here don't go hand-in-hand:
1. The video is answering a different question from the one I asked
and
4. Professor Duane's argument is about talking to the cops; I'm asking about the merits of the Fifth Amendment as it applies in a courtroom as well
So, you two aren't talking about the same things, but you're trying to pick a fight over it? I don't understand the lack of logic here - so, in the discussion about whether or not we need the 5th (and your other post in relation to the 5th), people in the comments pointed to the "Don't Talk to the Police" video, likely not in direct response to you but to other people on the comments. Nevermind, just checked, and a couple were direct replies to you with links to the video. Still, if it doesn't apply to your argument, as you state in #1 and pretty much further in #4, then why do you feel a need for a rebuttal?
RAWWWWWWRRRRRR so mad, just please leave your 5th Amendment crap to yourself and let us not worry about having to see this crap on the front page again, please?
If the government had stayed open. Nearly a million federal workers suddenly found themselves on furlough, so what better to do than hop on GTA Online?
The threading isn't nearly as easy to spot so far, and I agree with others - why all the empty space?? It feels like it's a waste to at least not be able to choose a layout that really takes advantage of screen real-estate. Also, I don't see indicators for friends/foes...HOW DO I KNOW WHO I AGREE WITH!?!?

I tried a number of languages and books before I got "comfortable" doing any kind of programming. Assembly, C++, Java, PHP, Javascript, Perl; I would check out books constantly from the library growing up and spend weeks trying out different things. Some of the books were in the "For Dummies" series, and no amount of humor or so-so comics made Java fun. Same for the rest. Programming didn't start being fun until I actually had something to achieve - once I had a project in mind, the programming became much easier to understand. A book's approach of "now we'll make an address book program" is so dull and boring, it's just not something I can get in to. Maybe that's why I still have a hard time reading through language books today - even Learn Programming the Hard Way has been difficult for me, because I don't feel like I'm going to apply any of it in a meaningful (to me) way.
Android isn't safe from the same issues. If your carrier is kind enough to continue supporting new versions, you have to make sure the hardware you have can do all the fancy new stuff. My wife's Xperia X10 never saw major updates, and that was probably for the best. It took a lot of ROM testing, tweaking, kernel patches, and resource management to make Jelly Bean halfway workable, which is better than the UI Sony and ATT forced upon X10 users. While the stock ROM was fast enough (in some instances not so much...the "live" updates of messages and calls on the home screen), it was regularly a PITA to actually do what you needed to. Her phone never saw an update past point releases, and she's been so spurned by the experience that she's set for an iPhone next.
On my own end, I've had a 4 for a few years now and not a single OS update has made me regret it - 7 is relatively responsive on the old hardware, better than I expected anyways. If you can get a few good years of support and upgrades out of one phone, that's pretty good in my book. I'm going to continue to use it as long as it's supported by new iOS updates and as long as it isn't crippled by what comes out next.
Slashdot Mirror
And our QA department was finally getting settled into a somewhat stable set of devices and OSes to test against - suckers.
Of course, PIDs are 16-bit, and I'm guessing 65,535 PIDs are not going to last that long
Time to start working on PIDv6?
We basically try to stay below the radar

Hey! I love my wife! *Hugs gallon of milk form 1982*
Mine does too, but it's a lower price on the sticker. I'll take my chances for $3 off!
Because when you have 2,000 gallons of milk in separate little cartons, your nose gets tired. And you've just opened 2,000 gallons of what will presumably end up as someone else's milk...with a safety seal, ensuring no one else has sniffed it.
Oh? You're on shared hosting? Good luck with that...
Well, I wasn't on shared hosting...but then I installed vBulletin - ZING!
