the difference is that if the information is stored on your computer, the feds can't get to it without a search warrant
if it's online, they only need a subpoena. Much easier to get, however, if it's a serious issue I don't think they're going to give up just because they need a search warrant.
however, look at the recent DOJ subpoena. There's no way they can subpoena information that is on your computer. so there's a difference. If you're doing illegal stuff, you would have to be a moron to do it through a medium that stores all your information online
the odds of hitting a 1 pound hunk of anything in space is incredibly small as to be totally insignificant, and you end up with the same problem with regular space travel anyway. Any tiny piece of dust which you are more likely to hit, will most likely pass straight through the ship without causing any major damage at that speed
there is no such thing as decelleration, it's just accelleration in the opposite direction of travel.
in other words, anything that can accellerate TO near light speed can stop FROM light speed just by doing the exact same thing but in the opposite direction. The only reason we find a difference is due to friction, gravity, air resistance effecting us, which doesn't happen in space.
except that they mail the movies to your house so each account would have an address... making it easy to group the multiple accounts together and throttle them anyway
a NASA spokesperson said "we at NASA are looking forward to putting the first man on the Moon... in forty years. Crap. Was that obvious? Shit. Sorry guys, I'm just going to have to ask you to look at this flashing light for a second..."
And then Verizon charges other smaller sites similar fees to "use" their bandwidth, and the other companies have to pay in because they don't have the same leverage that Google does.
Meanwhile, Google starts charging smaller ISPs to use their services, and they have to pay because they will lose customers if they can't get Google.
All the small companies lose and Google and Verizon are having huge parties together to celebrate their great idea
Actually, the word oxidation does come from oxygen, stemming from the fact that oxidation requires oxygen. Or at least, we thought it required oxygen, but it is possible to oxidize something without oxygen, something discovered will after oxidization got its name.
Chemistry is full of misnomers, oxygen itself is another, from oxy (acid) gen (generator) because it was thought that oxygen was required to create acids.
So don't blame the guy for assuming oxidation requires oxygen;)
Because even if it is viable, there is simply no interest from pharmaceutical companies to develop a cure for AIDS when they're already making so much money off the treatments. They won't make nearly as much money with a cure because they only need to sell it once to each person
So whether this is true or vapour, don't expect to be seeing AIDS cures any time soon
The revolution's Chip is being made by IBM. I wonder if they're using this technology in the revo, it woud partly explain why all the specs are not being released.
although I suppose "they won't be available until 2007" kind of puts a damper on that one
this must be one of the few known cases of software piracy actually helping the company. I could imagine how the userbase of Photoshop would suddenly dramatically decrease if suddenly all the pirated copies disappeared, suddenly people would start using free alternatives rather than plonk down $2,000 for photoshop.
I'm sure then we'd start seeing courses on The GIMP and more money going into improving its feature set
I'm sure the best thing Adobe can do is allow the piracy to continue.
Carl Sagan taught us: But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
well, Columbus turned out to be wrong, didn't he? Lucky he stumbled into America or he'd have died for it
the safari rendering means nothing because they simply implemented whatever Acid2 tested properly, it doesn't show anything about their standards compliance except for what was specifically tested. The original rendering when Acid2 just came out gives us more information (until an Acid3 is released)
Random searches are done all the time in airports. The other day I got tested for explosive residue, also on another flight I got "patted down". However, they explained to me that you always have a right to have the search done in private if you so wish. If you deny them then they have the right to refuse you travel. This was in Australia but I'm fairly certain the same thing occurs in USA.
So in answer to your question, searching is legal, but your step-father has the right to ask the search to be done privately. I'm not sure if they have to explicitly state that though, but it should be required, because I'm sure many people don't know. I got told when they did it to me.
actually I found the opposite, no one really cared when MSN did it, but look at the outcry when Google did it. (this must be the eighth article already about it on/. and everyone is STILL voicing their opinions)
Funny, all I've heard here are US citizens bitching about Google supplying their service in China. I wonder, what is the reaction of the Chinese population? Are they pissed off at Google for supplying (more) censored services? Or are they happy that they get Google now and are told when information is being censored?
I think their point of view is more important, rather than the standard "I'm American so my point of view is correct". Why don't you ask the Chinese people what they think about Google's decision? I think that would be a better indicator than most of the comments I've read here.
as far as I could see, this didn't compare the numbers of br but the amount of pages that contain br. if you compare numbers I'm sure there are more
than , but of course if you compare the number of pages that contain them then of course is more popular as it should be on every page.
this is clear because is ranked higher than which shouldn't be if they were counting elements instead of pages with elements

Either way, it's still a lot more money than the average joe is willing to spend to remove the red eye from their digital photos

funny about that
everyone in the US is bitching about this (for the five or six articles about this issue), but I haven't heard anything from people in china.
do people outside china really care about Tiananmen square for anything other than the riots?
