Not to mention devastating the reputation of the movie theater, and giving the couple a devastating criminal arrest record. The theater will lose business from the very demographic that will go to see transformers.
It's bad for everyone all around. The theater manager is an asshat. Anyone who hides behind a zero tolerance policy is an asshat. And you see this happen all the time in public schools, where children are charged with criminal weapon offenses for nail files, or drug pushing for antihistamines.
From a certain site that doesn't want to be slashdotted:
The iPhone Software Update 1.0.1 has been released. Here are the things we currently know about it:
* Full system wipe on modded phones (fails integrity check)
* Downgrade does not work (Kind of mixed reports here. Apparently you can go through the process, but
Settings > General > About still says 1.0.1)
* The phone goes back through the activation process (DVD Jon's method has been confirmed to work still along with the
other Windows methods)
* Jailbreak 1.0 appears to work just fine
* Only newer versions of iPhoneInterface (0.3.3 and up) are known to work. Older verions of iPhoneInterface do not work.
Jailbreak is the primary tool used to enter commands into the iphone. It works. So, it looks like you want to unmod your phone, and it'll be possible to apply the patch, the re-mod it.
Thanks for that info, I think you're right (although 0.1% sounds like a lot to me). Yes, the greenhouse gasses are the major issue, and this would reduce it... I didn't emphasize that in the OP.
As we've witnessed, digging carbon from the earth (as crude oil and coal) and putting it into the atmosphere along with the heat energy from using it can have serious side-effects from injecting outside energy to a system in equilibrium.
Power needs to go somewhere as some form of energy. It might do some work, but usually ends up mostly lost as heat. All lights, stoves, heaters, etc would essentially mean nearly all of the solar energy collected was as if the sun were simply shining brighter on the earth. Imagine if they were researching how to make more sunlight hit the planet just to harness it with solar cells -- this is almost exactly the same thing.
Space energy is energy being brought into the system that wouldn't have normally entered. I don't see this as a viable form of energy. It will potentially lower greenhouse gasses, but will still screw up the ecosystem.
I'd tell her "Hey honey, I'll replace the enormous Gauntlet II machine occupying the living room with this smaller one" and she'll go for it in a second.
Or you could just get rid of the exercise machine she forced you to buy that's been used only twice.
I just checked the first phone I could think of... the $179 Motorola RAZR v3. Batteries from Motorola cost $42, about 1/4 the price of the phone itself.
People who pay THREE TIMES as much for a phone aren't going to be particularly put out by paying TWICE the cost for a very good battery. This is just fluff criticism used only by those that don't want, don't like, or begrudge iphone.
Frankly, it reminds me of Bart saying "I'm a concerned citizen with too much time on his hands." This type of argument is so pointless... it's like complaining about how many MPG a Bugatti Veyron gets. The people that own one think you're an idiot for even asking.
This kind of middleware software is perfect for opensourcing. Much more so than software endproducts. Open source has a huge mix of coders who contribute usable code. The problem is, control software of satellites, robots, imaging, etc does require a rocket scientist* to understand. I'd prefer if the coders knew the math really well.
Load up RAM with lots of copyrighted works, send copies to them in discovery, and *poof* instant public record of it. I'd make sure to load up a legally purchased movie or two into ram. Heck, I'd buy extra ram and buffer an entire movie just for this.
Sounds like a way to bypass certain DMCA restrictions, too, such as the provisions against bypassing copy protection and such.
it looks like the TD Waterhouse merger triggered a change in their privacy policy or account handling that caused "opt-in" to be set on at least some accounts Nevertheless, stock brokers should not be in the business of assisting fraudulent schemes. This is almost certainly illegal, but ianasb.
No, more likely their database was compromised, possibly from the inside, and continues to have a mole or hole.
The problem is that any unsophisticated captcha interpreter can spit out the text that's known, and make a (bad) guess at what is hard to read. Then, if there is any significant amount of spammers, we end up with exactly the same issue - computers having trouble with OCR.
e.g.,/. puts in a captcha to translate the following two sections: 12345 l1il1
The captcha software knows the "12345" but it doesn't know the "l1ill1". A human could figure out both.
But spammer captcha deciphering can figure out 12345, and is allowed to incorrectly guess 11ii1 for the 2nd part. End result is
a spammer is posting something as indecipherable as this message except insults your penis size
some OCRed book is now committed to a false interpretation
Where I used to work was a big red emergency cutoff button on the wall of the machine room that went to the power distribution units. While moving a machine and cleaning behind it, someone's elbow went right into it. Fortunately, it just shut down the power to the machine room and didn't kick on Halon or anything... but it disrupted about 150 people as the fileservers and many other number-crunching machines crashed.
So, we learned "hey! let's make it so you can't accidently press it" as we rebooted and fscked all the computers.
A couple days later, we built a little wooden box to go around it to help avoid accidental pushes, and painted it red.
Guess what happened as we were mounting the little wooden box around the big red button.... Yep, we hit it again.
Enough with the trilogies already. why can't we have a single good movie and just let that be? There are plenty of single, good movies that have stood alone. It pains me to contemplate "Blown Back by the Wind", "The Crying Game II (It's a Man, Baby!)", "Pulp Fiction vol II: MotherFrikkin Homeless Jules", "Shakespeare Just a Little Pissed Off", etc.
Sequels exist simply because people want them! I'm quite happy about Terminator sequels. I wanted more, and I paid my (then $5, now $10) twenty years ago to see it. As long as sequels have a NEW STORY based on an existing universe, it's both new and familiar, and quite desired by audiences.
Besides, Orson Scott Card already had taught me how to call someone a whoreson. Thanks. Barely 10 pages into Speaker of the Dead, and already some asshat spoils it for me.
Update, 6:30am, April 18: Outstanding issues with our servers have been resolved and we are currently processing all customers' returns and requests for status checks at a normal rate. As we mentioned earlier, we are working with the IRS this morning to ensure that returns will be considered as timely filed even if transmitted to us past midnight. So not only did their servers get slammed on tax day, but as soon as they think they've recovered, we subjected the servers to the slashdot effect, too!
Of course the principal didn't put him in jail. Can't you read? Daylight Savings Time Puts Kid in Jail for 12 Days:-)
The principal was the... principle witness, and the cops will listen to her. That's reasonable, and although she might be mistaken, she was credible (yeah, that sounds like an oxymoron). But reasonable followup investigation should have not only concluded that it wasn't him on the phone, but that most 15yo are NOT flight risks and released him to his parents or own recognizance. And this should've happened WELL BEFORE 12 days. 3 days tops, counting a weekend.
But my question is... "Why was the kid calling the school at 2 in the morning in the first place?"
I think it goes without saying that guns *should* be prohibited on college campuses, and they are. Hmm, I don't think it does go without saying... I certainly would have something against that statement.
I would say that firearms have nothing to do with getting an education, but that's beside the point. The purpose of having firearms, no matter where you are, is for defense against illegal or insane use of them. Prohibiting firearms on campus didn't stop the shooter, but the prohibition may have prevented defending oneself against it.
Irresponsible carrying is just as bad... so I would never advocate everyone carrying, especially not on campus. Even 50% is *way* too high. Only those that had the responsibility for it and the training, should carry if they choose. But if only 10% of the witnesses were armed (and I know plenty of engineering students like firearms, as does virginia in general), it might've reduced the loss of life significantly.
