Doesn't the DMCA takedown request state somewhere something about asserting the statement is true "under the penalties of perjury"?
Whatever happened to that?
The part in a DMCA claim that is "under the penalty of perjury" is that you are authorized to act on behalf of copyright owner of the work allegedly infringed on.
For example, if you post a recording of your cat vomiting and I submit a DMCA claim on behalf of Justin Beiber, claiming infringement, I will run afoul of that provision. However, if I submit a claim on behalf of my third cousin twice removed, claiming that you infringed on his "sonata for bag-pipes and an two enemas in D major", I am legally in the clear as long as he authorized me to act on his behalf even if I know that the works have absolutely nothing in common.
As far as I know, there is no penalty for false, or even malicious, DMCA claims.
My friends a cop too. He's an ok guy but he always had that cop dicktitude about him. Last week he was arrested for taking bribes. I never thought in a million years that he would be a crooked cop. Are there any good cops?
No. They either leave out of frustration or are driven out by the other cops, often feet first.
I agree most cops are good people who work hard BUT police have an institutionalized problem of protecting the bad cops. So even though there are only a few bad apples, departments and fellow officers generally protect the bad cops rather then prosecute them due to the whole 'brotherhood' sticking together.
I totally agree and I find it unfortunate that only 99% of the cops give the others a bad name.
Woah, what Firefox 10 are you running? I've been running it for 2 hours and it's already at 400MB of RAM, and the 2 hour mark is just because I restarted it to release the gig and a half it was using.

As a non-native English speaker, my parser often barfs on spelling and grammatical "irregularities" that the locals take in stride. However, I try not to be an ass about it -- everybody makes mistakes.
OK, thanks for that. My classical Hebrew is fairly rudimentary so I'll defer to a modern Hebrew speaker... I'm assuming the lack of that meaning in modern Hebrew reflects it's absence in the biblical corpus.
You could be a great driver and habitually speed 5-10 mph above the limit. That is not, in of itself, a sign of sociopathic behavior.
Actually, it is.
Speed limits are set by people smarter than you are about the subject at hand.
Actually, it isn't. Speed limits are set by politicians, not engineers (who recommend setting them at the 85th percentile of traffic).
To sit there and say that you know better and that you will drive above the speed limit because you know better is pretty sociopathic in and of itself.
Most people drive above the speed limit because that's the actual speed of the traffic and is therefore the safest. Here's a hint: if >90% of the population routinely break a law, maybe it is a bad law.
What you are actually dealing here is either a simple translation error or perhaps a pun and a pun which surprisingly works both in Aramaic (and Hebrew) as well as Greek. GML is both the name for the Hebrew letter (equivalent of G), for a camel and for rope.
In Aramaic maybe but not in Hebrew. The root GML in Hebrew can mean a camel, to recompense or to wean.
But why would you want to? Whats the price of an oil change compared to a new engine? Sorry , I just don't understand why anyone would skimp on oil changes or other general maintenance.
For the same reason you no longer "condition" rechargeable batteries.
No car needs more than that if you are only driving them for 2 years. I don't know how far you are driving, but if you don't care about the longevity of a car, you could probably drive most new cars to 40 or 50k miles without ever getting an oil change.
40-50K miles is pushing it, but with a good group IV synthetic oil and high quality filters (WIX et al), you can go for much longer than "manufacturer recommended" change intervals.

Here in Canada, that also implements FPTP we have three national parties (Conservatives, Liberals and New Democrats), one that only targets Quebec (Bloc Quebecois, were doing reasonably well until the last elections, when they got their asses handed to them), the Greens that try very hard to squeeze into that club and occasional independents.
In fact, the NDP, which was a long-time "third party", managed to leapfrog the Liberals in 2011. I believe that the US history can also provide similar analogs.
But that aside, consider that when two candidates are closely matched, they will fight very hard for the votes that go to third-party candidates, up to and including changing their stated policies to appeal to third-party voters.
And people keep voting, with their wallets and with their ballots, for more of the same.
How am I supposed to vote?!?!? Let me be clear: I voted for Obama because Obama promised to roll back the damage done by Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzales to rights such as habeas corpus. Obama failed to keep his promises, choosing instead to continue in lockstep with those evil bastards. Don't blame me - I voted the best that I knew how to try to correct egregious wrongs - blame the politicians.
You should vote against both Kang and Kodos.
Voting anything but a 3rd party (or independent) is perpetuating the system.
As a Canadian who's a swing voter I think not only should such an absurd bill be killed but the sanity of whichever MP backs it seriously put into question. Any MP that backs such totalitarian surveillance bill is no longer qualified to hold office and should automatically have their re-election campaign targeted.
Do you care enough to write to your MP and inform them that if they do not vigorously oppose this bill you will make it your personal hobby to target their re-election campaign?

I call bull on this being a troll. A TENS machine. Really. Come on. This is Grade A pseudoscience.
TENS machines do have legitimate uses.

Law enforcement officials need to get in line with the fact that society is going to require them to behave.
Those that can't need to find another line of work.
Who's gonna make them?

No matter how advanced you may think they are, we're talking about a very small population here. They CAN'T possibly have a very big impact.
Since it is safer to talk about civilian technology than the military, just ask Intel.

Do you really think those provisions will not eventually pass?
Copyright is STRICTLY for the benefit of society.
I have yet to see a single scientific study (sound methodology, peer reviewed) that found any sort of benefit to society from copyright.
Copyright is instituted by your feudal overlords solely for the benefit of their peers.
