Somebody doing a web crawl from home? Somebody who found an index of trackers and wrote a script to download them all? I'm not disputing that someone could find that much content, I'm disputing that someone could get that kind of sustained bandwidth from a cable company in the U.S.
Two different screening approaches turned up the same pair of molecules, called dSICS and dMMO2. So they can now put S & M into DNA? Bring out the whips!
Please. They don't "deserve" any punishment for making pages that fit the realities of the world. If they use the strict doctype, the page should be rendered strictly. If their page isn't strictly compliant, they should never have used the strict doctype in the first place.
But keep in mind that if you're a doctor you're obligated to stop and provide help and the good samaritan laws generally don't apply because you've had sufficient medical training. 0/2. Even if you're an MD, you aren't obligated to stop and help, and if you are nice enough to stop, you are protected by GS laws (Definitely in MA, may vary by state, but I would be surprised if any state were different.).
The reason as I was told by my EMT instructor is that many years before the GS laws, EMTs, RNs, and MDs would stop to help. Then they started getting sued; to be honest I'm not sure what level of care they were getting sued for, but I'm sure it was almost always more helpful than harmful. So the professionals started driving by without stopping, and the death rate from accidents went up. Then the Good Samaritan laws were passed so healthcare professionals could stop without worrying about frivolous lawsuits.
How is this flamebait? Microsoft's newest Office product defaults to the OOXML formats, and considers the older formats deprecated. The fact that very few people have converted to the new formats doesn't change the fact that the old ones are deprecated.
A classroom? Are you kidding? Think about using this in a White House Press Room Briefing to project video evidence of the lies! A good way to disappear to a secret CIA prison and never be heard from again.
I remember my professor talking about "temperature" in my thermodynamics course. He said something about temperature not being the fundamental quantity, it's some sort of (potential?) energy (u), and 1/u is what we call temperature. So as we see temperature go up, u is actually going down, and when it reaches zero and below, temperature actually gets infinite and wraps around to be negative. I don't remember the specifics, as I have a tendency to sleep through class, and my textbook is thousands of miles away atm.
If you seriously need a 15" monitor, you should get your eyes checked out. I'm posting this from my laptop with a 7" screen, and I don't really have to squint on this. Really, adding a bigger screen like that is just going to make the laptop bigger and heavier, and less appealing to carry around.
is when Microsoft is going to stop the shennannigans and start playing ball with the rest of the world. When they stop making money off of shenanigans. Innovation takes time and money, it's cheaper to copy other people.
Can someone tell me when the last time they tried to compete on innovation rather than vendor lock-in? I'm pretty sure that was before I was born.
Can someone make the argument that OOXML is all about document protection for the consumer and not about keeping everyone else on the run? Probably, but I doubt it would be a very compelling argument.
Can someone tell me that Vista was supposed to make everything better for the USER? Well, it's supposedly more secure...
Can someone tell me why I need DRM in my life? I'm sorry, it's not your life. Read the EULA on the last piece of music you heard: "We, the RIAA own your soul. By listening to any music in any form, you agree to this binding contract."
Can someone tell me that C# is open and not proprietary? It only runs on one platform, theirs? How is that better than writing natively? The UI is only for IE with.NET? Why would I want Silverlight over Flash? Does Microsoft even pretend C# is open? If so, is it covered by any patents (that Java and C don't have prior art on)?
And actually, I believe C# runs on all microsoft OSs without recompiling, something they couldn't do without.NET. And I haven't actually seen silverlight, but I haven't heard an argument (convincing or not) to use it.
Can someone tell me why they took scripting out of the OS? Security, likely.
Can someone explain to me why Steve Ballmer still has a job? See #1: They're still making money.
Can someone tell me if they are offering ANYTHING I want? As a user? As a developer? Probably not, but that's why you're using Linux, right?
Actually, they do have DirectX, and with it a lot of games.
Can anyone explain what I'm missing here? As long as MS is still making a profit, they'll keep doing what they're doing.
I'm sick and tired of them making it unnecessarily difficult to do anything with computers. I know they are a business charged with profitability but is it too much to ask them to solve my problems with real solutions? Yep. Money is their only motivation.
Is it too much too ask them to sell me something without a truckload of baggage?
I guess maybe it is. Guess you answered your own question there.
The only support for the deletionists is the teachers who don't want their students to crib proofs. However, both teaching and taking mathematics courses, I've found that wikipedia is weak because it doesn't really actually have proofs. If the goal of Wikipedia is to contain the sum of human knowledge, then the proofs are absolutely critical. The problem is that Wikipedia's goal, unlike Google's, is not to contain the sum of human knowledge. If it were, the deletionists would have been stopped a long time ago. Sure, not everyone on earth wants to know about every webcomic, but if you want a reputation as the source of all knowledge, why would you allow someone to delete valid and correct information just because a couple editors don't read the same material as the people who wrote the articles?
Did you even read the *summary*? Unless the summary is quite misleading, he didn't forget to pay the registration, the provider went out of business and he somehow lost the registration, which is *not* how ICANN is supposed to work.
If the registrar was ICANN certified, the domain registration should have reverted to ICANN or another ICANN provider when the company went bust. If the company was a subsidiary of another, the registration reverts to the parent. You do not lose the registration, you just get moved to a different registrar (though there can be some period of time while it all gets worked out). Sounds to me like you failed to follow the transfer or failed to pay when it came time to renew. Perhaps your spam filter shitcanned their instructions on how to start using the new registrar.

j. Ensure that the registrar's obligations to its customers and to the registry administrator will be fulfilled in the event that the registrar goes out of business, including ensuring that SLD holders will continue to have use of their domain names and that operation of the Internet will not be adversely affected.
I've stopped bothering to spend more than 5 minutes figuring out any IE bug. Granted, my pages aren't widely used, mostly testing stuff out and internal school pages, but IE is more trouble than it's worth. All the public computers here have firefox, so no one can really complain anyway.
In Canada, we have a semi-hidden theocracy of Steven Harper (the prime minister). Anyone that does not agree with him, is his enemy. Even in his own party. In the US, the President doesn't even try to hide it.
I'm pretty sure Germany's drinking age is officially 16, but not really enforced if you look 14+, and I believe their sex age (Is there a better term for that?) is 15. Much of Europe (and most of the rest of the world) is probably somewhere closer to that than to the U.S.
I once wrote a paper on how the US ages go in order of most-to-least dangerous to others (driving sex drinking), and the German laws let you do the least dangerous things first (sex drinking driving).
I think you're a little confused there. What they did was defend against criticism that the Constitution didn't explicitly grant rights by saying that the rights were guaranteed implicitly, and that explicit inclusion would eventually lead to such rights being construed as the only rights granted to the people by the constitution. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that without the bill of rights, the freedoms expressed in it would have been eroded more than they currently are, but it is also possible that we would have more freedoms now.
It is unfortunate that the bill of rights is so strictly interpreted nowadays.

see the response above you, he didn't mean the tag, he meant the tag, which is html.
Peer reviewed by known experts in the field, mainly applied to technical articles.

Tens of millions is quite an exaggeration there. Check the math: 30,000 * 100 = 3,000,000, not 30,000,000.
Similarly, whenever I read about British MPs, I wonder what the military police are doing passing laws.

He didn't accuse them of "distribution of child pornography," he accused them of distribution of pornography *to* children. Not the same thing at all.
