Iraq is an illegal war. Not by any international-law measure, but by American law. It was started by a rogue President who lied to the Congress to get the funding to wage it, and who had already transferred men, money, and material there from the legitimate Afghan conflict without their authority.
Technically, the Iraq war started as Desert Storm with Bush1 had a cooling off period (but no peace treaty), and was ended by Bush2.
If the government regulates [watermelons], policies for [smelly] are set by one entity: the [toilet]. However, if the government stays out, each company will set its own policies. If you don't like the [fanny]'s policies, you are stuck with them unless you leave the United States. If you don't like your [poop]'s policies, you can simply switch to another one. So which model sounds better to you?
Isn't this exactly the same as police officers having "quotas" of tickets to write?
No, the quotas are like "Get out there and find actual infringement (parking/speeding), with evidence (witness or radar gun). Ostensibly, an officer can't write a ticket for "going 80 in a 65mph zone", file in traffic court, and then wait until it happens to tell the newly-found offender that their court date was yesterday.
Sorry, that's simply ridiculous. Your proposal would have them guess the absolute peak rate of all users in their network, and then overbuild their infrastructure
Sysadmins and network admins do that on a regular basis. You always plan for what people need next year, then double it for every year they'll need it, because new things come down the pike, and new uses for old equipment are found.
even though a tiny fraction would be in use at any one time. It's a *massive* waste of resources.
Until it's not. Then it's time to plan big again. It's been time to plan big for half a decade now, but Internet II isn't going to let commercial entities muck up a research network again.
You can sue people for things they haven't done yet? Well fuck. HEY GATES! I'm suing you for slandering me! You haven't done it yet, but YOU MIGHT.
That's not quite what this is. They're suing non-people (placeholders) hoping/expecting that someone will fill the placeholders. They're probably asking for summary judgment since the John Does didn't show in court.
Ever notice how signs dont use punctuation
They use ALL CAPS instead of exclamation points unless there is !DANGER! then they over use them
Adding a comma can detract from the jarring nature of a sign
A is holding 1 grape and B is holding 1 grape. A says: I'll give you 2 grapes. B says maybe I'll give you one grape, maybe I'll give you three.
Obviously, there are not three grapes visible. B is lying, whereas A intends to give me his grape and B's grape. I choose A. It doesn't matter what they actually do after the choice is made (maybe B was hiding two grapes), what matters is what is rationally available. If a Nigerian Prince tells me he just inherited billions of dollars but need _my_ help to get it, my "rationally available" alarm bells go off, just like when I can only see two grapes. When you enter into a hand of poker, you ante-up to show you're good for some gambling money.
If they are both holding more grapes, then 3 grapes do exist, and the chance for 3 grapes raises from 0/2 to 1/2.
So maybe he should hire a small staff, direct the official email to a ticket tracking system, have one staff member divvy up the tickets amongst the others (or forward pertinent emails to the MP), and make the tracking system send auto replies. RT (Request Tracker) can do all that (except the staff) for just the cost of an old server/workstation and and a DNS entry (probably free for a UK govt site).
Anyways, only 1 person I know (and I know quite a few people) ever got swine flu, my cousin out in Vancouver, and she is alive and well and only had like 1 week of symptoms.
Only one person I know (and I know quite a few people) ever got swine flu too. A cousin of a friend of mine, and he died. He was in otherwise good condition medically. They say it hit young adults hard though...
It would seem that the last of the truly informative and educational shows are on PBS.
What are you talking about? Just yesterday, the History channel showed me that space aliens came to Earth and built pyramids all over. There were two hours of very educational information about how ancient man was stupid and couldn't work stone or even work together as a group. Oh, and how planning a building can't happen without carving the plans in stone (apparently writing on leaves or dirt or animal skin doesn't count). Why was I watching that you ask? Stargate wasn't on Syfy.
(2) running lawful applications and using lawful services of their choice; and
LAWFUL? what the fuck is that all about? now, we have to have layer8, the LAWFUL INSPECTION layer, before we can send the PDU?
No, you're just not allowed to use Chaotic or Neutral programs./dev/urandom / %RANDOM% are to be replaced with predictable pseudo random generators, all seeded with the same number. You can use them for good or evil, but they have to be predictable.
if you ping to discover, you could be seen as 'doing harm'.
My ISP disabled ICMP in and out; I can't ping or traceroute anything from home. They did this immediately after I used traceroute to diagnose a network problem that took them a month to fix. And no, I can't switch.
How about measuring that in actual computer usage? X MHz on Y cores per Z nodes over A hours? Or at least say it would have taken one X MHz processor 35 years to compute it. Computer-hours are nothing line man-hours or horse-power. At least those have good limits to their vagueness. Computer-time might as well be arthropod-lengths (are we talking dust mites or ancient giant sea-scorpions?).

I don't think mono's been sued over patents yet. Maybe it really is the safer choice despite what everyone had been saying?
Yet. When Balmer runs MS into the ground and Apple buys them, Jobs will sue anyone that uses mono.

Oh, how ruthlessly absurd.

A local Long John Silver's had "Dungeonous" crabs for sale.
To be fair, it was probably "krab"

How does it compare to Death Track or Death Track Resurrection?
Hrmmm, there is a resemblance...
He is smart. He will make chair go.
Yes, and if I recall correctly, there was one with the old communicator design.
I hate the veneration of the dead
At least lay off the jokes for a week, or you'll let people know you'd make a good CEO.

My reaction to your postulated microsoft-census: "Doesn't Automatic Updates already do this?"
Not if you have it set up to use your local WSUS. Just like apt doesn't do it if you're using your local repo.
you can pay a fair bit of money for a more precise white noise generator.
Isn't that called a mis-tuned clock-radio?
Gabe is an authority on his own bowel movements, but it seems only Tycho retweets from Gabe. The retweet tree begins from Tycho. What does that mean?

meaning 1 Million dollars worth of money ends up in CCP's pockets without anyone gaining anything out of it.
Now why would CCP allow that to happen?
