I heard their ad and I kept thinking it was odd that they said his SSN only once but their phone number three times. It's a basic marketing tool that if you want people to remember number you repeat them at least 3 times and since the ssn was said once and quickly they really didn't want you to know it or remember it.
ERIC: I shoot it with my bow (roll to hit). What happened?
ED: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.
ERIC: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded?
ED: OF COURSE NOT, ERIC! IT'S A GAZEBO!
ERIC: (Whimper) But that was a +3 arrow!
That was my first thought. Then there's the worry of blood clots and bed sores. Being bed bound is not as fun as people think and only for 17K? Your medical bills will be higher to fix all this messes up.
I can't find the article, but, I remember reading/hearing about "Protest Vandalism" of speed camera in France. Destroying and/or disabling speed cameras as a form of protest against them. I wonder if the poor rate is due to English "Protest Vandals" doing the same.
The same process you use to mass mail your legal complaints can not be used to file your legal responses. This is why fellas. This case is going to get messy *grabs popcorn*
Giving a direct competitor a life line as to avoid the Goliath the merger would become while meanwhile stagnating the competitor. Wow, I don't think I'd want to be in THAT risk assessment meeting. Then again, they did it for ASK.com and apparently it's working there too.
Also it limits them for players to say EULA = contract as that in MOST places you cannot enter into a contract if you are under the age of 18. In fact, I believe it is illegal to have a minor enter into a contractual agreement without parental consent. Then it's a thing of getting "permission slips" to play WOW?
People want what they can't have. When they see you are one of few people who can freely go in and out of a room they can't get into; you'd be amazed at the attention it gets you. To us, it's just a data centre; to them it's this mystical forbidden room.
Our data centre is behind three locked doors and on the middle floor. I love telling people when I remote into a server "yeah, I'm rebooting a box 16 miles away, behind locked doors and guards..."
In one of my early programming classes my professor had a minimum length for hard copy code to be turned in. Let's just say my code worked, but my hard copy was too short. Rather than muck my code with unneeded calls and the like I did a lengthy comment about how I believed CS finding the most direct solution to problems even at the risk of upsetting the client.
The code got an A with the added comment from the Prof that the minimum hard copy length requirement for first years would be going away after this.
The more columns/complex the table Zebra striping will help the user not lose their place. But, this needs to be balanced with the length of the table. After a while they will forget which line they're on regardless of formatting. That's why I'm a fan of showing the least amount of data I can. More complex = more chance for errors. Drill down application are a pain, but, better than a mistake in payroll.
Then I concede the point. It is still an interesting thought and I would not be surprised to watch an Orion guy try such a move. Then again, we can only pray a trained lawyer would not make the same mistake I did.
Arguing semantics. I understand "or the like" but they gave a specific and that's the kink in the armour.

It sound interesting, but the review read like a high schooler book report. Say it with me:
As Wikipedia helpfully points out, the second-person POV is not common in literary fiction, but it is fairly common in other forms of media, including the subject of this book
I'm not trolling. Depending on the lawyer you get they will argue semantics of a ruling to squeak out any loophole they can. My argument here is that the judgment was for advertising to focus on a Google specific term. There where other nontechnical ways to word this judgment but they went for "Negative Keywords" specifically. Yahoo does NOT use "negative Keywords" they use "Excluded Keywords". That may be a legal back door used in the appeal process.
Translation:
The judge in the case went further, though, restraining IF
restraining ORF from 'purchasing or using any form of advertising including keywords ||
('adwords' in internet advertising containing any mark incorporating Plaintiff's Mark &&
hall, when purchasing internet advertising using keywords, adwords or the like, require the activation of the term 'Orion' as negative keywords) ||
negative adwords in any internet advertising purchased or used. END

Only one code really: Duct Tape...
I'd love to make a game of complete darkness that's nearly impossible to play without cheat codes and and over clocked super cooled box...
No I'm not bitter at ALL! It's a speech impediment...

Did Google trademark that phrase "Negative Keyword"? They may now have to defend it like they did their name.
