Circumstantial...You can find my blood stains in my house and my car(a lot of it there on the carpet from when I was barefoot and tore a big hole in my heel via a raised screw), yet I'm still alive. According to your reasoning, if I was to go missing I must have committed suicide.
I think the point here is that while it seems the majority of us here think he's guilty, some would rather see a guilty man go free than an innocent man's life taken away.
OJ hasn't had the highest standard of living since his trial, so one can't really argue they completely escape punishment, guilty or innocent, in the court of public opinion.
In my area, there are two choices if you wish service outside the metro....Verizon and Alltel. I've been with Alltel for a couple of years and I switched from Verizon. I left Verizon for a reason, and I'm sure many of you know what that is. Poor customer service, billed for things I didn't have, etc,/etc. Alltel has had a few issues with my account, but at least they've resolved them when I call in.
480 looks barely adequate on my 65", regardless of who mastered it. Even when I play professionally mastered DVD's on it and it's upscaled to 1080p, it's still a bit rough. I have the Life of Brian on DVD, and my brother has the blueray version. You'd have to have serious vision impairment not to be able discern the difference in quality(although as an aside the differences between 1080i and 1080p are only in marketing and technological approaches - visual is a wash).
That's the nature of video, you can't overcome it with bluster.
Your example is bullocks, however I do agree with your last point.
My PS3 games have proven to be much more reliable than my 360 ones...although that could have something to with the PS3 not grinding on my discs the way the 360 did. I'll try again when my 360 gets back from another servicing.
There's a definite lack of viable games in that genre especially considering the quality of gameplay. The only one on the list that's a native 360 game which is worth anything is Oblivion. The cheese grater I scraped over my balls while playing Lost Odyssey and Two Worlds actually significantly improved my gaming experience.
Also the definition of an RPG is fairly concise to anyone who bothers to look. A sports game isn't an RPG, nor arcade or board games...
A Systemax rep told me FreeBSD ruined my motherboard. That comment really got my goat, and I gave that representative an earful about what I thought about that kind of FUD. This was on a new server, never worked correctly from sysinstall on. After they had rpl'd the motherboard and RAM, the server has been running asterisk on BSD for over a year now handling 12,000+ calls a month with nary a hiccup. I don't know of any that good service at the consumer level, but I do think most usually give *decent* service at corporate support level.
I've reread it later, mid-life to most, and I still find it to be a wonderful work. And to be fair, if you're going to compare Ender's Game to The Martian Chronicles(it was a compilation work), you'd have to extent Ender's Game to the full series including Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. If you did that, if would be fair to say the Ender's Game series rivals and in my opinion clearly surpasses Bradbury's work in subtly, complexity, and quality. Asimov was the master however so no arguments there.
Heinlein was so bizarre, I'm often surprised it wasn't him who invented Scientology, not L. Ron Hubbard.
Except for the mere fact writing a system that does this correctly in postfix or sendmail really isn't that exceedingly difficult. I'm not saying it's simple as I'm sure there are a lot of condition to be met, but I'm confident this could have been done much faster, more reliably, and far less expensive to date than what has been done.
Unless you're referring to cost as in prosecution for corruption in which case their method clearly has a better TCO.
but has anybody ever created some sort of platform where each C++ app runs in its own VM? Yeah, it's called Java.
Java is slow when done inefficiently, like any other programming language. In Java code that is implemented correctly, speed will be one your lesser worries. In fact, under certain conditions, Java can rival, and even surpass, native code for speed. The implemented correctly is a much bigger one.
I finally found some confirmation that this isn't possible thanks to/. today.

Here's the relevant snippent
There have been a lot of fads in search of late, such as Human Assisted Search and contextual search. Do those get folded into search as a whole? What are real trends in search and what are fluff?
So let me first tell you about Google. At Google we do not manually change results. For example, if we find for a particular query that result No. 4 should be result No. 1, we do not have the capability to manually change it. We made that decision not to put that capability in the algorithmâ"we have to go and actually change the algorithm. That is, we have to find what weakness in the algorithm caused that result and find a general solution to that, evaluate whether a general solution really works and if itâ(TM)s better, and then launch a general solution. That makes the process slower, but it puts a lot more discipline on us and makes it more unbiased.
Yeah, it really easy to change google algo now isn't it? I mean what it only took them 4 years to come with an answer to google bombs? There is far more involved than a simple algo change.
People have been gaming the system forever and Google have been combating the gaming too. That's kinda the whole point now isn't it? Except this to some extent is virgin territory for google --edu's are part of the foundational base of PR. The tone of your post would seem to indicate you believe google has done a decent job keeping up with the gamers of the system. I guess that's a subjective topic, but google's main motivation is to disallow PR being a bought and sold commodity, and if you're judging on that basis alone google is a miserable failure at enforcement.
The question of whether a user knows the difference between.edu,.com etc is not the point(although I would disagree in that most users would trust an.edu result over.com those that are capable of using a search engine anyways).
The reason this is a worthy news story is that search engines value inbound links coming from a.edu over equivalent.com page/site. It would be much easier to game the system by building up PR and trust for the.edu domain and then either selling high-weight links off it, or use it benefit your own company's site(s) and the organic keyword specific to them.
My boss forwarded me the announcement this morning but I declined as to me it's begging google to blacklist you.
Here's a bit from the email...
Many webmasters are paying a lot of money for a single page or link on an EDU domain. So could you imaging what you could do with an EDU Blog that you control and write posts to whenever you want for only $50 per month?
Any webmaster that knows a bit about web marketing could turn one of these EDU blogs into a marketing powerhouse and money maker very easily. That's why your comment is irrelevant...to some extent the people that utilize these services don't care about their reader or what they trust or don't. They care about what the search engines trust.
I tried that back in the day when I was married on my pager. Our protocol was a *1 means call back whenever not too important. *2 meant give me a call back soon it's fairly urgent. *3 meant drop what I'm doing and call back immediately.
Virtually everything was a *3 for the most asinine crap, it's been awhile but I don't think I even ever got a *1.
Even Cnet [news.com] noted that this is not a mandatory install and that the brew ha ha is because: Your usage of brew ha ha is incorrect. You are looking for this word Brouhaha
Have you checked your healthcare insurance premiums lately?
You're already paying for it. National healthcare would simply redistribute the load more evenly across the entire populace. I suspect there's not a whole that can be done by any non-draconian system to enlighten the hypochondriac's among us. I understand it's a bit of an oxymoron to advocate an efficient national healthcare system, however when you look at the raw number of what we spend as a country currently and the level of service provided compared to nation healthcare system similar to our friends up north have, the term would apply.
I'm not aware of any governmental system that legislates fat, lazy, and stupid both fairly and effectively. Are you going to discriminate against people who eat oreos? Be prepared for retaliation legislation ad naseum. Absent of that, the only thing left is to reduced the problem to pure economics to reach the best logical system. If the goal is efficiently, a national program wins by raw numbers alone.
Not if you're debugging the authentication process. I don't know the particulars of this project, but it's a least conceivable a hash wasn't processed correctly, or some other auth error.
I don't that this was some oversight however.
Why do people feel the need to make asinine predictions such as this? It seems like every month or two some business/marketing type must open their collective ignorant mouths in order to hype up some need I didn't know I had, or to tell me some piece of technology is antiquated and I should replace it. There was an article here a while ago about the LAN dying. There are many other examples, high-def optical media war for one.
Are journalists really hurting so much for stories that any off-the-wall remark coming from a wealthy/corporate source is immediately eligible for publication? If it's really so inevitable, then why not position your company to be in the prime role of servicing the need, instead of informing all of your competitors what the future holds.
I work for a small(er) business that sells big ticket items. We do a huge amount of business with Google Ads, in the $10's of 1000 per month - the vast majority of our advertising budget. The owner of the company started out in adsense, adding more and add more targets with ever increasing rates. The rates for niche market have increased by about 100% each year for the last 4 years. Recently, we been questioning the effective of this approach versus investing that in different ad networks/raising natural listings.
We reached a conclusion to diversify some, and with this information, it appears that once again whitehat seo tactics are only way to insure long term internet related success. One of our competitors was into seo blackhat stuff and was delisted a couple of months ago. I think it's only a matter of time until our main competitor runs into the same problem.
We had independently reached some of the same conclusions as this report. However, all that being said, I don't think the 6% --> 50% ratio works for our type. I think for our niche big ticket items it's probably closer to 15% --> 70%. Each area could be measured statistically separated e.g. price, niche type, location. IMO big ticket item will get less clicks as many people aren't interested in items out of our price range, whereas a novelty may see an increase simply due to curiosity. At the end of the day, I don't dispute that the report in the ballpark of accuracy, however I would caution that it's is also not blanket stat that can be applied to any online market.
I thought that was a good option too. Until I explored it further and noticed all the fine print. If qwest is great, then why is their service piggybacked on MSN? I don't run windows so that's not really a feasible option. I think there was a way around it, and connect any computer to their network, however that came with a different TOS. Are you still sure you're 99% sure? I might read the fine print before endorsing them.
