IANAL, but I would imagine that the plaintiff would need to first prove that the assaults on their site are being caused by the defendant, not the other way around.
China is by far more reliant on the dollar than others...
depending on how you define reliance, that would actually be wrong. Since 2005, the renmibi has been pegged to a basket of currencies. There are however numerous other countries whose currencies are pegged to solely the USD still.
but then again, in today's world economy, everyone is reliant upon the US economy
1) Promissory estoppel is used for contract law and there was no contract initiated by the RIAA and the people so it wouldn't be valid here
2) The document linked to on Mr. Beckerman's site says they discontinued the lawsuits. They didn't specify a length of time that it would remain discontinued for so it'd seem to me they're free to start again when they wanted.
I'm not trying to take the RIAA's side... just making a point. I still hate them with a passion.
yea, i forgot about pxe booting. i guess maybe creating an image is too much work?
but with the linux distros, i know some of them have checkboxes during install to make it a network machine, server machine, gaming machine, etc. windows, i don't think you get that functionality.
because for those of us that manage hundred's of servers, the last thing want to do after we install a new OS on all our servers is to have to install the server app pack. We just want everything bundled in and ready to go.
just because they are elderly and at a physical disadvantage to somebody in their teens-fourties doesn't make them incompetent or dangerous wielding a weapon.
granted there are some elderly that can wield it fine. what about the ones that can't? i see a lot of elderly walking on canes with big fat glasses. Would you be willing to put your life or someone you care about at risk because this person will very likely miss?
Frankly, I think your attitude treats the elderly as if they are second class citizens, not entitled to be able to protect themselves from harm.
Yes, I am treating them like second class people. So does the rest of the western civilization for that matter. Why do we give them handicapped placards? Why do we send them to retirement homes? Why do they get special privileges just because they're old? Trying to make me feel guilty won't work. I can accept the them for what they are and how we treat them. Maybe you should too.
Also, the whole point of this gun is to solve some of the challenges physical impairments present to gun operation, so that portion of your argument doesn't really stand.
not sure which portion of my argument this refers to, but if someone is physically impaired enough that they can't operate a gun, why the hell would you want to give them anything that can take away a life? a gun is not that difficult to operate
Also, because this will be prescribed by doctors, it leaves the judgment as to whether or not the person can wield the weapon safely up to a medical expert. They aren't just handing this out like candy (or in this case, dentures).
I'm sorry, but this point of view is not very forward thinking. The more elderly, the less physical agility, the easier to victimize, and the more a weapon like this is "necessary". When they're that physically disabled, is giving this to someone who can barely walk without a cane the right idea? This tool can easily take a life. What are you going to do when they accidentally set this thing off and kill an innocent person?
If the elderly are already that physically disabled they need something like this, then I'd say it'd also be pretty easy to get close enough to an elderly person unprepared to wield the weapon. Taking that one step further, I'd bet its also very easy to physically incapacitate the elderly long to steal that weapon. Now you've got a lethal weapon in the hands of someone whose intent is to use the weapon with bad intentions.
There are scores of elderly that can barely drive. Now you want to give them a gun?!
There are too many potential dangers to something like this. I really hope law makers stop this immediately.
No, I'm sorry but this is the most patently stupid thing I've heard since, well ever!
I'm not so sure about that. This at least has some potential use to it. There are other things that well.... ummm.... see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUuwEq98ByM
well, according to the article, the gene that they activated in the mice is sirtuin. the article also says that this gene has a function in repairing damaged dna and what causes aging is the body being overwhelemed with the amount of damaged dna the sirtuin needs to repair.
if they can get this efficient enough to overcome the flood of damaged dna, then doesn't this mean that it actually has the potential to reverse aging? would people start to become younger?
Ok, not the best source, but this is probably more reputable than that guy in the article. Life expectancy has more than doubled so what he's talking about is nonsense http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy
I don't see how his claim for men having children earlier can possibly be true.
According to the article, he cites one guy who was a ruler at his time so obviously that person had lots of women to foster children. If anything, men today are living longer than they were before due to better health care and medicine.
I don't have quotations on this, but I remember reading that in the olden times, if they lived past 50, that was amazing.
I call bullshit on this guy. He's just trying to hook up with young girls.
That according to wikipedia, Gary Weiss is an investigative reporter who unraveled the trading scandal at saloman brothers but here he is, involving himself in his own little scandal.
But then again, this is wikipedia. Maybe he edited that in himself.
Actually, if you look at this based on Global warming potential (GWP), Methane is 25 times worse than CO2 over the course of 100 years. So I think thats why he's saying that methane is still worse.
At my company, I've actually had a freeze put on hiring any more developers. However, the freeze is because they can't fit any more in our office. We're trying to move to a bigger office so we can hire more. So I'm right there with you, developers and IT staff are still doing well.
I read that and just felt a black cloud go over me. He obviously doesn't care about the people to lead the RIAA defense so I wouldn't be surprised to see him become a corrupt judge. I feel bad for the people of colorado.
The problem with not coming clean by 1) saying what happened and what you did wrong and 2) saying how you're going to fix it
This is a problem with Redhat's security so why would they need to disclose how the breach occurred and how they fixed it? You don't need to know my security protocols and infrastructure or the weaknesses in them so what makes you think Redhat is going to disclose to you theirs?
nobody will ever trust you again afterwards.
You're wrong here. No one that doesn't run a business will ever trust them again. But frankly, its not the consumer they're after anyways. Redhat has a reputation for leading the industry and releasing quality products in the past. This one incident isn't going to tarnish their name enough to stop using them
And if you'll RTFA, the issue the author is arguing about is
Under these circumstances, the company's wish to proceed cautiously and with as little publicity as possible is perfectly natural.
The problem is that, in moving to defend its own credibility, Red Hat has neglected Fedora's.
Frankly, you have to understand that Redhat is a publicly traded corporation. They report to a board and to their investors. They did disclose what was wrong and the fixed it. Most likely, they fixed it as quickly as they could. They don't report to you or anyone else in the open source community. So don't expect them to sacrifice their own interests for the FOSS community.
Besides that, I still fail to see the real harm they caused the F/OSS community besides delaying what had happened. Anyone care to enlighten me?

wait, so are you saying to hide my online cocaine operation, i should rename all my files to lolitaXXX.jpg?

This is nonsense. Them not wanting to disclose the reasons behind the security breach has nothing to do with the quality of their work.
