I wonder if this ruling would equally apply if the same piece of information was shared by word of mouth through the 'grapevine'.
If the "word of mouth" was over the school's PA system, then it probably would apply. If the "word of mouth" is the principal talking to a bunch of people at a party at his friend's house, then probably not.
That's part of the problem. Everyone assumes "nuclear" means reactor designs from the 60's and 70's, and they don't like the downsides to those reactor designs. They then fail to consider the fact that there are a few designs that are newer than 50 years old.
Hmm... that must've been in the VERY "early days." I remember trying out Ubuntu in 2006 and found it still to be a pain to even get basic things going.
That sounds similar to my experience when I tried Ubuntu in 2006. I think it was 8.04 that was the first version that worked well enough for me to use it full-time.
So was the hypothesis of the neutrino before it was actually detected. You see, there was this anomaly in the beta decay spectrum and it was hypothesized that the missing energy was carried away by this particle called a neutrino. Decades later the neutrino was actually detected. In what way is dark matter different?
So were Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, which were all known (or at least strongly supposed) to exist because the orbits of the outer planets weren't quite what they should be if there wasn't another massive body out there.
You should probably spend a little time reading and understanding the law (or possibly English) before spouting random words. Patents are not mentioned anywhere in the summary.
Do these same vulnerabilities exist in OpenJDK? If not, then the problems aren't with Java the programming language, but with Oracle's implementation of the JVM.
It would be like saying that bugs in Visual Studio are "problems with C".
Why should the government, or anyone not financially involved in the design, construction, and operation of the datacenter pay if the datacenter is not operating within the parameters that it was licensed for?
Of course I haven't read the article, but is that true? Is the datacenter louder than they said it would be when the approval was granted, or are people just now deciding to complain about it?
The Wikipedia article provides no indication of a conspiracy theory. It has a section on it it that cites only one reporter, who later apologized for having suggested it. A Google search for "Ahmed Mohamed clock conspiracy theory" turns up articles pointing to extreme right-wing pundits with vague theories about a 9/11 conspiracy, but no actual concrete claims of any wrongdoing.
You see, Wikipedia and Google are part of the conspiracy. How much more evidence do you need?
Firmware is not some arcane stuff, made in alchemist labs with fairy dust, mole eyes and dragon scale.
Maybe on your router. I didn't cheap out when I bought mine, though.
Re:Why do you like KDE?

KDE Turns 19
·
· Score: 2
In my experience, the K applications are almost universally inferior to other free counterparts (who uses Calliga Suite over LibreOffice? Konqueror over Firefox/Chromium?)
I guess that might be true if by "universally" you mean only Calliga and Konqueror and ignore the rest of KDE's applications. As others have mentioned, Kate, Konsole, Dolphin, KMail, KTorrent, KWallet, etc. are among the best applications of their kinds.
I'm also a big fan of the fact that nearly every KDE application (as well as Plasma) has a keyboard shortcuts screen in the settings. You can assign any keyboard shortcut you want to pretty much any action that you can do in the application.
Take a look at Xenoblade. I consider it one of the best video game soundtracks I've ever heard. A few of the tracks (out of about 100) are definitely closely connected to the scenes in the game and don't work too well as standalone music. The vast majority, however, are fantastic pieces of music.
What I don't get it, shouldn't the kilogram have been defined and redefined then as the weight of a cubic dm of water each of these times then too? Why is there an attempt to base this on Avogadro's or Plank's constant?
No, because when talking about fundamental units, the gram is a unit of mass, not weight. The weight of a cubic dm of water changes if you move it, since the force exerted by Earth's gravity would be different. For defining the fundamental unit of mass, you'd have to use the mass of a cubic dm of water at some given temperature and pressure. That's just the mass of X water molecules in that volume, though, so now you're back to counting atoms.
If a store sells you a defective, and thus dangerous, product, who's liable? It could be the manufacturer, or it could be the store, in which case the store could then sue the manufacturer or supplier. In either case, claiming that it would be too hard to ensure that all of their products are safe would not let them escape liability.
There's no reason that ads on web sites should be any different. If the web site can't inspect and verify every ad that is shown, then they'll have to hope that they can shift the liability to the ad company, who has no excuse for not ensuring that the ads are safe.
At my university in the late 90's, computer science was its own department in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (we had a separate College of Engineering). It was only one floor down from the mathematics department, though, and most of my professors treated it as a branch of mathematics. I know other schools, especially the more technology-focused ones, grouped it with the engineering departments.
Then again, I wouldn't consider bowling a sport mainly due to the amount of alcohol one is practically encouraged to consume, and yet bowling scholarships exist.
Does that mean baseball isn't a sport, since there's frequently beer when a bunch of 40-somethings get together to play once a week?
Professional bowlers don't drink alcohol during competition any more than professionals in other sports.

It's only a model.
Yes, the phone in your pocket is also a computer. No, it is not as secure as your desktop or laptop.
My desktop and laptop are still running Windows XP, you insensitive clod!
When it comes to Space Pirates, Samus is the law.
But don't you remember? Government bad, money-grubbing multinational monolithic sociopathic monopolistic corporations good!
All I remember is Napster Bad.
You can just replace the LCD screen with an LSD screen.

If that same principal used his own personal facebook page to say the exact same thing then absolutely nothing would have happened
If? According to the summary, the principal did post it to his personal Facebook page, and the judge explicitly said that doing so was fine.
Nuclear power... [is] old tech.

i was a liberal, i find myself shifting further along to the right nowadays, and the left has moved further left too.
What country do you live in? Obviously not the United States, unless you've substituted "Obama is an evil communist" for reality.
christians don't use bombs, they're way more into guns.
I vaguely recall there being some issues in Northern Ireland that might disagree with this.
Didn't we come from Adam & Eve and their children, Cain and Able?
Cain and Seth. Abel was killed before he had any children.

Well that would explain why the light from the star is plaid.
