So do you agree that ultimately it's the protesters who have thrown the wrench in the works? The cops are already on their way to the location. A missed 911 call isn't going to mean anything.
So a class action suit isn't even needed. Regular criminal law proceedings will take care of it without private individuals needing to spend their money on lawyers. The culpable party, the protesters, will be punished.
And then what happens when their is a medical, or otherwise, emergency that is not able to be 'dealt with' (in whatever way it needs dealing: Police, medical, etc).
I think we've already determined that the protesters are fucking things up. The emergency vehicle isn't going to get through for said medical emergency. They're 'protesting' and it's just tough for anybody who has said emergency. Don't blame the authorities.
Gee, if they had their own FAB they would have been able to have much more control and would have been able to react to problems much more quickly.
Or, perhaps, if they had their own FAB and it was fucking up on yield, they would own it and be stuck with it. They have a degree of freedom to shop around that they wouldn't in their 'own' FAB.
Netscape the company was a crime against the Internet. Their aim was to introduce proprietary tags into Navigator and serve up those proprietary tags with their server technology. They were a genuine threat to Microsoft. That doesn't absolve Microsoft for crushing them, but it explains it. And things wouldn't automatically be 'better' if Netscape had won 'the browser war.' We wouldn't have Mozilla in it's present state. And I would really miss my SeaMonkey.
As long as the destination you tell it is on it's list of destinations. Meaning, a parking garage at a highrise apartment building along a rapid transit corridor, the valet drop-off point for a gated estate, one of the approved shopping malls, etc.
People like me who live 'out in the wild' as far as most GPS Navigation Maps in cars are concerned will just have to wing it somehow.
My father locked certain power tools in a steel 'sea chest' because he didn't want me using them. I quickly sanded down one end of the hinge pins on the two hinges on the chest. Thus I could easily slip the hinges and get access to the tools when needed. I didn't tamper with the lock in any obvious way, and from then on always had access to those tools.
Get a clue. It isn't as much the presence of the photos on FB that Grandparent is objecting to. It's the tagging of the photo by friends.
Sure, any photo taken in public is 'public knowledge.' But photos taken in public by strangers aren't captioned. And it isn't being 'fanatical about privacy' to not want captioned photos of yourself out there beyond your control. That's the entire fricking point about the Facial Recognition deal. It renders the captions world-searchable to a degree that was unthinkable a decade ago. And it makes rather aggressive data mining cheap.
That's why I use fvwm. Although I keep a decently usable ~/.twmrc around for fresh installs of an OS somewhere. Tab comes for free with X11. That makes it, like vi, something you can always count on being there.
And, just to head off the inevitable "it's not free!" arguments; of course not. It is paid for by taxes, but it is considerably more cost effective for everyone concerned (workers, businesses, the country as a whole).
All evidence points to it being of a significantly lower quality. Maybe not the average care, but the 'peak quality' health care in the US is far better. The challange is to spread that care more widely, not plow it under so that all anybody gets is free contraceptives.
I read an article recently about 'blacks moving back to their roots in the old south.' It seemed encouraging, like things were getting better and the people driven out of the south to industrial northern cities like Detroit were migrating back.
It turns out that what's really happening is that the bus drivers, sanitation workers, bureaucratic paper pushers, civil service drudges, etc. who had fat gubbermint-union guaranteed benefits were all retiring and buying a second place down in the south. The Urban poor aren't migrating.
Warren Buffet didn't get rich through micro-transactions.
Warren Buffet gets rich by loudly proclaiming that estate taxes should be increased. Then he buys distressed companies out from under the family of the founder when they prove impossible to pass on to the next generation.
And he buys companies distressed in other ways to 'fix' them or to chop them up and sell the parts. Truly an American Hero, worthy of the adulation he gets as the poster boy 'good capitalist' by the left.
No, if they get to the state of Mutually Assured Destruction, then the (non-Military) Industrial Complexes of both sides will heavily tax us all to keep up the parity.
These are fricking lawyers we are talking about, after all. All a lawyer really is is a private-sector politician.
Slashdot Mirror
Naw. Not specifically computers. Just little things like Unix were invented there.
No, those are wrong actions, too. There actually is a right and a wrong.

Regular people are then entitled to mow you down, or advocate mowing you down. Or simply push you the fuck out of the way.
They do have a right to an impromptu counter-protest, even if it, uh, inconveniences your radical chic.
I'm not worried about the Facebook buttons.
It's the 'http://' in every URL. It's being used to TRAAAACK US AAAAALLLLLL!
Don't get me going about what ampersands are being used for.
Are you sure you're not talking about Slashdot being destroyed?
You mean, they promised the fireworks display would be better than it actually was?

Blizzard seems to want to encourage gold farming, though. They're formalizing the process in Diablo III.

If you're looking for a step up from Eudora, try sylpheed. It's open source and builds on any system I've tried.
I use gmail for my main email account, and I strictly use their pop server to connect and download my email to sylpheed.
Web mail is for homeless people to use in libraries.

The users will let you know. Or, they'll let the marketing guy know, and he'll let you know.
It'll be a while, obviously.
I don't think Microsoft is going to do a brown zune deal this time.

the inadequacy of Mac Ports next to the RedHat and Debian repositories
You should examine the possibility of running NetBSD's pkgsrc on your Mac.

He would always say that you can't win by not playing
I would answer that you can't lose by not playing.
Buy the BMW instead. If you're even leaning that way, go for it. Because that makes you a typical BMW purchaser.
Ah, but GE paid the political tax. That is, they have been one of the biggest contributors to Barack Obama.
Hmm...
