On the topic of this article, it must be noted that Charles did stuff the ballot box. But a milder, more reasonable response would have been to disqualify him and accept the first runner-up that doesn't seem to have cheated.
^This. It's very close to what I was going to say.
Words like 'may' can be useful depending on the context in which they're used. For example, I ring the DWP and hear, "This call may be recorded for the purposes of monitoring and quality control." Well, they can hardly blame me if I take that sentence as given permission to record the call so I can monitor the quality of their response!
Democratic Leadership Says NSA Data Collection Is Fine Because You 'May Be In Communication With Terrorists'
I guess that means it's A-OK for Anonymous to hack into the NSA's database and collect their data, since any group investigating one group of terrorists is more likely than not to be in communication with another.
Re: Re: A woman with such a poor understanding of how the web works
I would interpret it that way. No way that fatuous bint knows what the real world is like when you're on the other side of the financial divide, especially if you have the extra hardships of being elderly and/or disabled.
It wasn't me who redirected links from Ms. Perry's website so they led to sites such as goatse.cx and asstr.org, I promise. *crosses fingers behind back*
Senator Wyden: Public Has Been Actively Mislead By Government Officials Over Surveillance
Shouldn't 'mislead' read 'misled' if you're using the past tense?
The law enforcement community writ large argues that license plate numbers are not personally identifiable information.
Yeah, right. And I haven't infringed copyright with that pirate DVD of Game of Thrones until I'm sent a DMCA notice over it.
Hey, kids (read: adults who are presumed to be kids by default filtering)! Find what you want and fap yourselves silly by clicking on this link. Forever only!
Using non-UK versions of search engines doesn't work where there is a UK version. For example, if I enter www.google.bs (Bahamian Google) into my address bar, it seems to work, but the results I get back make it very clear that my request is being served from Google's UK servers. Click on the link and try it for yourself.
True, Starbuccaneers cups are double-walled and it's hard to find such cups in retail stores, however, I can still destroy your point. In the UK, 'paper cup' is a colloquial term for any type of disposable drinking vessel, including plastic cups. If the 'paper' cup in question is actually a polystyrene one, the simple addition of a paper serviette would reduce the risk of burning to nothing.
Re: Elizabeth's rights to the portion of the show that she was on (and additional examples)
I believe that when Elizabeth added her opinion to the show she granted herself authorship to that content and that should be enough to grant her exclusive rights to the portion where she was on.
Your belief is incorrect, unfortunately. Copyright only belongs to the person/company responsible for the work's fixation into tangible form, and in this case, that would be the one that owns the cameras, which is NBC.
Maybe that link's allowed, or the fact that's I'm not a regular troll/spammer means the other factor of my post didn't trigger a filter.
I think it's more to do with the latter fact. When I first started posting links and swears, my next comment would be held for moderation, but I never post spam links or swear very regularly, and that's probably why my posts always go through immediately now.
I addressed you to answer AJ's question because it's easier than (read: preferable to) reading his crap.
Because I share my Android with my 14-year-old cousin, I didn't get Content Lock removed when I first bought it, thinking, "I can live without mobile access to AO3." However, a few months ago, I walked into her parents' lounge after getting a drink, only to see her trying to hide the phone. So I grabbed it off her only to see that she'd found a proxy website that allowed her to route around the filters, so I immediately downloaded a parental filter app and rang T-Mobile the next day to get them to remove the Content Lock. The moral of my story is: default filtering is useless and puts porn into the hands of those deemed too young to view it despite the overblocking.
Patents (and copyright) are NOT protected or included in the Constitution. The right of Congress to enact laws to cover such things is.
Sorry, 'staff', but the AC I quoted above has you there. To paraphrase Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8 of the US Constitution: The Congress shall have Power To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
To further paraphrase: Congress shall have the ability to promote human progress by enacting laws that secure time limited monopolies on the stuff people create.
I pulled the info from this webpage, so if you're gonna argue, argue with that.
@ Steevo: This is a DMCA cease and desist notice posted in response to your violation of the strict NDA between us, which is in relation to my patentable idea of repeatedly abusing the DMCA until the Federal Government are forced to change it, making it halfway reasonable.
Officers use counter-terrorism laws to remove a mobile phone from any passenger they wish coming through UK air, sea and international rail ports and then scour their data.
Which is why, when visiting our relatives in Southern Ireland, my family travels there via Northern Ireland. No passport check = no data grab.
