I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this... 1. Even losing $50 to someone with no work lined up could be a pretty big deal. 2. It's hard to tell but depending on how he was suspended it could hinder his ability to collect unemployment,
At least where I grew up we didn't call this bullying. We called it teasing or just being a bitch. Now that teasing is considered the equivalent of physical violence it is treated more seriously, but teasing is not the same as bullying. Getting someone to obey you via physical violence, even torture, is just not the same kind of thing at all as saying mean things to someone. It just isn't.
There is a world of difference between teasing or being a bitch and harassment. Throwing the occasional insult is not harassment (at least in the legal sense of the word). Harassment can be far more damaging and harder to repair then physical violence. A black eye will heal in a week or so, a month. If someone decides to convince everyone that you like to fondle little boys the damage can follow you for the rest of your life regardless of the validity.
One of the many differences between sticks and stones and words is that words don't cause any physical harm, any physical damage. In fact they don't have to cause any damage at all if you just ignore them. You can't ignore someone hitting you in the head with a rock or beating you in the face with a stick.
It depends on the severity of the harassment or violence. While you would have a hard time ignoring someone using a stick or a rock on your head, you can ignore someone pushing or shoving you. And while you could ignore someone insulting you it's very hard to ignore when someone convinces everyone you know that you like to fondle little boys.
Those two girls are not responsible for that other girls death. Yes they contributed to it in the same way that a pretty girl rejecting an ugly guy can lead to his suicide, but they are not directly responsible for her death and cannot be held responsible for it. No one forced that girl to jump. It was a decision she made for herself and I suspect that the teasing was only one factor in that decision.
No one is being charged for her murder. The teens are being charged for what they did, aggravated stalking something that goes far and above throwing a view insults at the victim.
Seems like the meaning of the word 'bully' has changed since I was a kid. I was bullied for real. Meaning I was beaten up, as in like physically punched and put in headlocks etc if I didn't obey every order of the bully and not disrespect him at all. Of course I was also teased. For having a big nose. For being fat. For being ugly. Etc. When did 'bully' become a synonym for 'tease'?
It's always been this way. Guys typically bully though force or threats of force. Girls tend to bully though harassment and social ostracization. It's been that way as long as I've been alive and for the most part still that way today.
They were arrested for stalking and harassing her. Something they could have been arrested for if she was still alive. I really don't know how anyone could think that harassment of anyone let alone someone who clearly made clear efforts to remove themselves from their influence is somehow acceptable.
OpenERP does. Probably doesn't have the right rules for your state/province/territory but only took me less then a week of work to take nothing to a working system and the company has been using it for around 9 months with anything more then tweaks.
...their polymer, conveniently termed a "resin" on the Form 1 website, seems like nothing more than a creative attempt at skirting patent law.
The resin / polymer isn't under patent. Doesn't really much matter what they call it. The patent is about automatically generating support lattice for an object during the printing process. It expires in less then 10 months.
Phones from cell phone companies are sold locked regardless of if they are with a contract or not. At least one provider (t-mobile) forced me to subscribe 6 months before they would unlock it.
The parent is right. Back then Sony had a lot of division between the Consumer Electronics divisions and the Entertainment divisions.
By the late 1980s, several manufacturers were prepared to introduce read/write digital audio formats to the United States. These new formats were a significant improvement over the newly introduced read-only digital format of the compact disc, allowing consumers to make perfect, multi-generation copies of digital audio recordings. Most prominent among these formats was Digital Audio Tape (DAT), followed in the early 1990s by Philips' Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) and Sony's Minidisc.
DAT was available as early as 1987 in Japan and Europe, but device manufacturers delayed introducing the format to the United States in the face of opposition from the recording industry. The recording industry, fearing that the ability to make perfect, multi-generation copies would spur widespread copyright infringement and lost sales, had two main points of leverage over device makers. First, consumer electronics manufacturers felt they needed the recording industry's cooperation to induce consumers – many of whom were in the process of replacing their cassettes and records with compact discs – to embrace a new music format. Second, device makers feared a lawsuit for contributory copyright infringement. [1]
Despite their strong playing hand, the recording industry failed to convince consumer electronics companies to voluntarily adopt copy restriction technology. The recording industry concurrently sought a legislative solution to the perceived threat posed by perfect multi-generation copies, introducing legislation mandating that device makers incorporate copy protection technology as early as 1987.[2] These efforts were defeated by the consumer electronics industry along with songwriters and music publishers, who rejected any solution that did not compensate copyright owners for lost sales due to home taping.[3]
They are services firstly and yes they do just that, EVERY state tax, EVERY county tax and EVERY city tax. That is what they do. Big corporations pay armies of accountants because they want to do it in house since it's cheaper that way for them. The same reason that the biggest retailers may have lawyers and accounts needed to act as their own credit card clearing house, just because they do doesn't mean everyone does.
There are plenty of solutions on the market that don't require a full blown ERP or accounting packages for tax calculation and remittance. Off the top of my head I can think of Avatax but I know there are plenty of others. It really isn't THAT big of a deal.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding the app but from the page it seems like it can only track "your" time off. Can it track time for an business with many employees?
It is a pretty large software package and support tends to suck if you don't pay but it is updated consistently is open, and once you get your head around things, pretty easy to extend.
Most developers I know myself included would never use WYSIWYG for anything other then prototyping layouts. That said I typically work with Dreamweaver in code view largely because it has decent site wide search, has pretty decent navigation features, supports subversion and handles code syncing reasonably well not anything I would pay what it costs for but since it was a company purchase and it does the job good enough not to piss me off, I use it.
What they want taken down has nothing to do with defamation and everything to do with offering advise to people who have been sent demands by these people.
Schillings also wrote to BWB, demanding that it take down from its own website its report of the Oxford court case in which it had acted for the two teenage girls.
And Schillings even demanded that the CAB withdraw all its previous publications on civil recovery, including two reports published in 2009 and 2010 which are available on its website.
The reports outline how flimsy their evidence can be and offers effective defenses. This is nothing more then a SLAPP action.
Seriously? You can't investigate objectively because the people involved were in your organisation? What would happen if a medical doctor ever became hurt by another doctor? Send them to Canada?
NTSB has 400 employees that includes beaurocrats and administrative staff, those that actually investigate crashes is likely far far smaller (likely even smaller for FAA). You would likely have better luck sitting an inpartial jury in a town of 400. People tend to try to defend people they know and work with, it's human nature and often completely subconcious.
Was it just pure number crunching, or did they actually do physical tests? If they did do physical tests, did they use a stack of paper as thick as the ipad, or as thick as the amount of notes the ipad would replace in an average political debate?
More importantly where can I find videos of the tests?
Assange had two things going for him that many computer geeks do not. The first he seems very idealistic, there are a type of woman who is attracted to that. Secondly he has some degree of fame, something many women also find desirable. Not to mention that putting himself in the spot lite like he does requires some degree of self-confidence, something almost all women find attractive.
Of course that doesn't rule out your theory, but the idea that two women would come on to him probably isn't that surprising.
However, according to CNews, Winkels [the lady] confirmed that she wasn’t arrested for blowing bubbles but instead detained for wearing a backpack and having a lawyer’s number written on her arm. She was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mischief over $5,000.
So are people really upset that she was asked to stop or are they just misinformed due to suggestive editing in the video?
Wow that seems an even more ridiculous reason for arrest then for blowing bubbles.
No it's very different then life insurance. Life insurance pays out when you die, it doesn't pay for anything that may prevent you from dieing. The whole idea behind fees like that is to pay your part of the larger budget. If you don't pay you should owe the complete and actual costs to provide the service not be denied it.

Stalking is when you sit waiting outside someone's house and follow them around everywhere they go.
It's not:

You would likely get the same reaction out of a modern cell phone or a DVR. Heck most modern cars would likely garner such reactions.

The Prada was a slide phone with a hard keyboard. That's a very different design.

The answer is neither. The real true innovation is far more likely from ISM bands then any of the licensed ones.
