You don't even need an entire virtual machine, just run the browser in a sandbox like Sandboxie. It grabs any file changes and writes them to a locked down folder instead of the system folder or registry the browser thinks it is writing to. The OP stated he was only using Firefox for the Firebug plug-in, and used Opera for general browsing. If you limit use and run in a sandbox environment, you can stick with whatever version you like indefinitely. Happens in the real world time to time, and probably more than you would think. When you buy a several thousand dollar license for software that only runs on a certain platform, you end up having to do things like this occasionally because it is the only affordable solution.
Considering the extradition agreement would have to be ratified by representatives of both countries, I seriously doubt any situation like you describe would ever come up. Unless both countries agree that trash burning is an offense worthy of extradition. It isn't like we issue "blanket extradition" treaties that give a country the right to extradite for any crime. Only certain offenses are deemed "extradition worthy" and are generally serious offenses - in both countries.
Yeah, that is like saying "politicians don't write laws, pens do." If you really don't believe corporations are behind the law making process, you are lost.
Sounds good in theory, but how do you suggest that countries like say China, Syria, Libya, Egypt etc. are going to be convinced to spend their own money tracking down criminals that are attacking what they consider to be their enemy basically? Sounds like pure fantasy. Things like that have been attempted before unsuccessfully. And money is one of the main reasons. That is why the country where the crime has been committed is in charge of paying for the investigation, extradition, and incarceration costs. Trying to solve a problem like this with diplomacy would be like trying to end piracy in Somalia through diplomacy. it is a nice thought, but will never work out.
Rovio did say in the article that revenues were "roughly even". The headline for the article is "Angry Birds Revenue From Android, iOS Now Roughly Even, Rovio Say". Forgot to include it in my last post. Here you go
An article from March said the revenues were roughly even at that point, and projected Android revenue to surpass the iOS revenue. So at the very least they are making the same, and Android is expected to make more. Seeing Android is selling on par or outselling iOS at this point, and the fact there are less apps for Android out now, I really can't see how Android won't pass the iOS version for revenue on Angry Birds. As the developer stated, selling the $1 iOS version nets them 70 cents (After Apple's 30% cut) one time. The ad version generates income every time the app is used.
what happens when Iran or Saudi Arabia wants the political cartoonist from Denmark extradited
Extradition agreements are generally two way streets. If Iran or Saudi Arabia wants to be able to extradite citizens of Denmark, they would need to be willing to also grant Denmark rights to be able to extradite citizens of their respective countries. Too make a long story short, none of the countries you have mentioned will ever agree to mutual extradition policy.
I am still of the opinion that if you do something that is legal where you live, you shouldn't be able to be charged with a crime elsewhere, just because it is illegal there
Pretty sure that there are similar cybercrime laws in the UK that exists in the US. Also what you are on the verge of suggesting is that every foreign national in the world be treated with diplomatic immunity. Can you honestly not see how that could never work out? If that were the case, we would be very much broadcasting the message of "go ahead and hack the US, we don't care".
Develop a free ad serving app for the Android. With selling an app, you get 99 cents, one time only. With ad revenue it is possible to make that dollar every month, and you will have a larger install base if it is free. Look at the Angry Birds revenue links above. They make way more on the free ad version than they do on the paid one.
I don't have time to be pestered by my browser as if it were a four year old child wanting a cookie.
I responded by telling you how to stop it from pestering you.
Which apparently is "singularly unhelpful advice".
If you stick with the version you currently have and all the add-ons that work with that version, why do you care how often they are releasing new versions, if you are not planning on updating anyway? Just turn off the prompt to update and pretend like they only release a version every year or two. You state you only use FF for Firebug so if FF and Firebug will keep working if you do not update, what is the problem?
So anyone claiming to be a member of Anonymous is obviously lying. So if I remain anonymous, but do not want to be part of Anonymous, what do I do? How do I know I am not part of the group, unless I claim to be part of the group?
You do realize you can turn off all prompts and happily keep using whatever version you currently have installed, right? Know what is annoying as a four year old wanting a cookie? Having features available to make your browser behave exactly how you want it to, and instead of using said features, choosing to complain about it on Slashdot as if there is no way to change the settings.
It isn't in the summary, I just threw it out there to demonstrate a point. OP said only data was moved, nothing was physically taken. So I asked if I could move data around to show his bank account was zero - I didn't actually take anything, just moved data around. I wasn't trying to illustrate what had actually happened. If I somehow led you to believe that is what took place I apologize.
So you wouldn't mind if I broke into your bank account, and moved some information around so you had nothing left in your account? I didn't actually steal anything, just moved some data around...
Damn, I was just about to say the same thing. How in the world could the sun cool the Earth? Unless someone accidentally flipped the switch to reverse?
No, I am saying if the subject is not an elected public figure, you have no business reading their mail. Seeing Palin was an elected public official (until she quit half way through) she certainly qualifies. If you think that a governor of a state only does business within their own state, you are either being ignorant or misleading.
I could totally be mistaken, but doesn't a police officer need to witness you committing the moving violation in order to ticket you? Not for all crimes mind you, just moving violations.
Or sent from her private account that she isn't going to disclose. Yeah, it would be really hard for politicians to create separate email accounts, and use them for nefarious things. Really, really, hard. Good thing none of them have ever thought of that.
Slashdot Mirror
Flying unconscious? No way - I am to afraid of inception.
I imagine they would induce a lot of drag on the hull
Then again, so would huge holes from torpedoes.
Just a guess here, but to possibly block the sunlight/heat from entering? Or even to block someone outside from seeing inside?
Did you really just actually ask what curtains are used for???
Because it isn't very efficient?

Their corporate call center help desk in India, duh.
No, they expect a profit. Any actual results are purely coincidental.
I didn't really specify, but I was referring to US law. My bad.
