Lots of people serve their "community service" sentence at Goodwill stores. So many of the people working there are doing it because they are required to by a court.
I sure as hell am not going to turn off my ad-blocker to check.
It's ironic somehow that the web we want has no advertisements, yet the major source of revenue of most sites is advertisements.
Although I don't really see how me not seeing an advertisement for a product I don't want helps the advertisers. Am I just saving them page loads and therefor not wasting any of their resources? If the end result of an advertisement that I do see is me just ignoring it because it is an advertisement, why should it matter so much that I saw said advertisement?
I do have a little check box up near the top of my screen though that asks if I want ads disabled, that is a privilege/. has given me it says for positive contributions, I have no idea if that is common or not, but I like it. It's a nice little admission that without our comments this site would not exist, but still without advertisements a lot of sites many of us use would not be able to keep their lights on.
I do wonder why advertisers haven't learned from the most successful advertising company in the world to keep their ads nice and simple and out of the way. People are not there to look at your advertisement, they are there to look at the content, keep advertisements and content separate, at no point should your advertisement interfere with accessing content. If advertisers would just follow those simple basic rules I might someday turn off my ad blocker, till then I like the way I'm seeing the web right now.
Oh and just an FYI, if you have not created an account one reason to is that you can view/. in classic mode, I really dislike the default UI.
What they are saying is that the way that assumptions were made in regards to older ways of studying this information, your examples could have existed. That with the new way of looking at the problem is a lot more reality based.
Dead languages have been deciphered because of people devoting their lives to figuring out the ancient equivalent of forty-five thousand little paintings of dots, squares and circles.
And if humanity doesn't survive, then there's going to be no one left to care AT ALL. To think otherwise is hopelessly arrogant.
Yes, but if we are talking billions of years then a whole new sentient species could evolve on earth who may be able to eventually read the data. One billion years though may be a bit short for that outcome.
Did they use that cell scraping to earn millions of dollars? If so you should get a share, but if no money is being made then there is no money for you to get a share of.
That was not "parallel construction" You didn't manufacture anything. You gave the police evidence of wrong doing, you are a citizen of the US, you not only can do that, some would say you should do that.
What cannot happen is the police could not have an unauthorized wire tap on their phones and then do a raid based off of that unauthorized information.
There is a difference between no guarantee of returning, and there is no possibility of you returning. Even those heading out to new colonies had a future to look forward to with opportunities well beyond the ones they were leaving behind.
With something like this, the only guarantee is that this guy is trying to get money from the gullible. It will go nowhere.

And although I understand that you would like your privacy respected, you do understand though that the law must investigate reports of criminal activity, right? It just might be your life it saves............though more likely it probably means your dog is going to be shot, and that is because they are not currently respectful .
If the law breaks your shit while investigating then the law must be accountable for it's actions. For the law to go and break your shit with impunity, that is just as much a punishment as if you did actually commit a crime.
Ok, imagine how different your anecdote would be if while the fire department was checking your car for an abandoned child they broke every window and cut the roof off?
Nobody gives a shit if the authorities are respectful and don't break your shit, it is when they break your shit that people get pissed off. So since the fire department did not break your car you have no reason to complain, so you don't. But there are people who do have a reason to complain, and we should listen to them and do something about it.
That strategy has been in place since the time of Echelon being the program everyone was worried about.
I would say that everyone though needs to use a slightly different list every time they put out the list, otherwise the list would be immediately recognized and ignored.
Here is are some examples of the old Echelon list.
My brother has an old Win phone, due to his experiences with it I see that MS had a long ways to go to make a good product.
My little sister bought a new Win phone (which she already returned), due to her experiences with it I see that MS still did not make a good product.
So it isn't just peoples experience with MS's desktop software, it is also their experience with their phones that makes people not want to buy their phones.

Work at home access?
There are plenty of reasons I am sure, that being one of them. Was it a good idea? Well no.
And also that only a small sampling of it can really be displayed, they have a lot of donations in their warehouse.
I seriously doubt they would appreciate me dumping about 30 old 486's and Pentiums (and associated old videocards) in the nearest Goodwill box
Call them and find out, there might be a Goodwill computer store in your area you can get rid of those at.
I know at my previous employment old computers were donated to Goodwill.

At least that is what I got out of the article.
It could be that the purpose of our lives is only to serve as a warning to others.

So what you are saying is that if Ballmer was an awesome CEO who made good decisions that the stock price still would have jumped as much as it did?
Did they use that cell scraping to earn millions of dollars? If so you should get a share, but if no money is being made then there is no money for you to get a share of.
Does that make sense to you?

Go and try to prove that the cops did this, then you might be able to get a retroactive mis-trail.

Been there, done that, did not get investigated.

Looks like it may take approximately four Hamburg's to equal one Rhode Island.
Those whom would pay for extra hardware tend to also be those who would purchase extra software.
but it's using an electric motor
Yes, apparently the helicopter that is suppose to run on hot air does not, which makes this just a bunch of hot air.
What are they up to?
Seeking venture capitol.
Before they can purchase an RT they will have to have a list of programs that they need that run on a surface RT.
No programs.
No purchase.
