Gravitons would be electrically neutral and therefore be its own anti-partner So that means neutrons are their own antiparticle? I always thought otherwise.
Second, theyre working for the **AA organizations, the darlings of congress, for whom no human rights violations are too great a cost, for whom ACTA is being negotiated to subvert those pesky public interest groups and constitutional protections present in every industrialized nation on earth, and for whom judges suspend several constitutional protections for due process.
I'm sorry what? When has the **AA ever violated human rights? Sure they're scumbags, but try to keep a little perspective. They're not exactly selling people into slavery.
I think there's an ambiguous pronoun. I read it as Congress being the ones violating human rights e.g. privacy. Whether or not you want to consider privacy a human right is up to you.
Can't they just hire any lawyer for legal advice and then press charges themselves? It would stnd to reason that if you have the right to be your own lawyer for defense your could be your own lawyer for prosecution of crimes committed against you. If I remember correctly, the victim isn't the prosecutor in criminal cases, the state is (hence criminal trials always being "State vs. Doe"). If a crime has been committed, a prosecutor from the District Attorney's office is assigned to the trial.
Personally I think the first lesson in any basic IT course should be showing people just how hard it is to completely break modern computers. It's very easy to break modern computers, at least at the software level. All you have to do is delete the wrong (right?) file. What should be taught is how easy it is to fix the problem by reinstalling the OS (and to keep backups of your home directory). If you know that it only takes an hour or so to fix whatever you break, you'll be a bit more willing to take chances playing around with stuff.
This is distribution-specific. At least in Kubuntu, the users' KDE directory is ~/.kde4, which allows you to have both versions installed without them conflicting with each other.
The units don't matter. In fact, that was exactly my point. Your income could be ten times higher than what it was before, but if everything costs twenty times more, your ability to purchase stuff is actually half of what it was, despite your increased income.
I will openly admit that I don't know much about India's economy, so what I said may not be true in that particular instance. I was merely pointing out that your statement is not always correct.
False. It would be exactly the same.
$9 - $5 = $4
$90 - $50 = $40
You still have 4/9 of your money left after buying the $5 / $50 good. Right. Hence the reason I said "more than" $50.
In the 80s in India, the situation was comparable to a rich guy having $10 and a poor guy having $9 and now, it is as if the rich guy has $1000 and the poor guy has $90. Clearly, in the second scenario, the "gap between rich and poor" is higher, but is it the worse scenario among the two I've presented? It is the worse of the two scenarios if goods that cost $5 in the 1980's now cost more than $50.
Just curious: what policies are those? Republicans are the ones who more typically throw the phrase "family-friendly" around. As far as I know, Hillary Clinton has been in favor of censoring violent video games for many years.
Wait.
Why the hell is the department of justice hosting a manual on how to be a terrorist?
This seems like cheese in a mouse trap. The link is to an Air Force site, which is not generally considered part of the Department of Justice.
Thanks for the correction. I was definitely unclear on that point. In many cases, the studio and the network are the same company, but that is obviously not always true.
Why hamper the performance of a decent Linux based system with a processor hogging gui? Because a few people want to use Linux for things like web pages, photographs, and videos.
We can vote with our dollars & stop watching NBC. Get your shows from alternate sources like DVDs. Buying DVD's would do exactly the opposite of what you want. The studio that produces the show makes money from every DVD sale. The studios only make money from the broadcasts by selling advertising, so if you aren't a Nielsen house, whether or not you watch the broadcast doesn't change the studio's income.
Discounting the utter rape of their environment, destruction of their culture and the millions and millions and millions murdered, of course. But hey, that was then! China or the United States?
Removing the get_magic_quotes_gpc function altogether seems like the dumb way to handle backwards compatibility, breaking scripts for no good reason. Why not keep the function and just always have it return false? I thought that's what they were doing. I know there was some discussion about it on the internals mailing list, but I thought sanity prevailed in that one.
I don't see why this is a major update (5 => 6). I believe it's because the Unicode support involved a significant amount of work in the engine. I vaguely remember that this means extensions will need to be modified to work correctly, but I'm not certain about that.
It's like an anti-terrorism law that states "If you don't make a citizen's arrest, and it turns out that random Arabic/Mexican/Just-Not-White-Enough chap really is evil, you're liable for anything he does cause you COULD have stopped him." To make that actually parallel to the DMCA, you would have to add that if the random person says to you "I'm not a terrorist", you have to let them go and you aren't liable for anything they do.
Consider a simple scenario - there is a nice lot on a lake, and if it sells for above certain amount, the buyer would have to provide right of way across his property. So, someone that has absolutely no intention of buying this property, but wants to get to walk across to the lake anytime (which he could not currently do as the property is not developed) bids it up until the price is right. You like the place and buy it anyway, but now you presumably have to let the other guy visit and hang around on your private beach whenever he likes. Wouldn't you try to either remove or limit such right of way from your property? Before you answer - think, be honest with yourself. I know I would. Your analogy would be more accurate with a little tweaking. You can charge people for walking across your property to get the lake, you just can't force people to buy special shoes (that aren't very comfortable and can't be modified in any way, including changing the shoelaces) from you before allowing (and still charging) them to cross your property.
They'd be much cheaper without all the Vorlon technology that's gone into the 'range-extended' Whitestar. But look out for some real competition from Morden Associates, a new startup that's rumoured to have developed a 'killer' new vehicle in response to a detailed study of exactly what their customers want. Fixed that for ya.
It's based on Debian, yes, but it uses its own repositories instead of Debian's. In general, Ubuntu will have newer versions of software. For a typical desktop computer at home, this is a good thing, though a lot of people would rather stay with versions that are a few years old for high-availability production servers.
No, my parents are probably smarter than most computer users, but that's besides the point. While the number of people that work on a computer all day is growing, it is not a large majority, if it's even a majority at all. And most of the people working on computers will be using a single specialized program (things like customer service, scheduling appointments in a doctor's office, etc.). Like I said, most of the items you listed are only ever done by people in very specific occupations. There are far more people that really only use a general-purpose computer for web pages and email at home.
