To be fair, there is not much else to do with the money when you are selling caffeinated sugar water. How much R&D do you need when your options are to either add more sugar or more caffeine.
The administrators must have been told by their legal counsel what their options were. The longer they feel the need to fight this the more money they are costing the school system for a case that is likely to go against them. Arrogance in action while others foot the bill.
Given that the only way for a police officer to be held accountable is to barge into someone else's apartment while off duty and murder them without warning, then I doubt they are over worried about what happens when they just do their damn job and respect the people they are sworn to protect.
If you are going to pick cherries then make sure you pick only one big, delicious cherry. Also, a single data point makes for the best regression! (A missing option for yesterday's XKCD comic. )
So now they want to go back and fix a few things piecemeal until people stop complaining too much? That is a great way for them to just keep making it a little less onerous until they can stand the heat and screw over as many people as possible while placating a few vocal folks.
I have yet to figure out why someone can be so obsessive that they want to check their stove using their phone but does not obsess more about someone else burning down their house. People who put this much blind trust in corporations are mystifying.
Apparently she saw that Sparta 500 movie and realized once you hit 500 people then people think they can take on the world. Regardless techdirt, we are watching you trouble makers and monitoring your filthy views on copyright!
To not worry to much for Judge Moore. He *may* be able to gain the resources for this through a charity designed to help spread the gospel of self-virtue:
They planned this in advance but decided that they did not need a warrant. Sloppy and lazy work, and it also means they have divulged much of the way they gathered their initial evidence. They screwed up so badly that they will probably be promoted to cover up this mess.
The Supreme Court really needs to hear this. An overly educated ape (or lawyer as the case may be) needs to stand in front of the highest court in the US and explain how a less educated monkey took a picture with a camera, and then explain how it was a creative expression of the plaintiff.
Then other apes (or reporters as the case may be) will make the inevitable comparisons between legal briefs and tossing one's poop.
You are changing the subject. Whether or not there is a bias against conservatives in the tech industry is a separate question as to whether or not the Google's algorithms are biased.
Additionally, this false dichotomy that a source is either conservative or it is not is a stupid stupid way to divide the world, especially the news media.
Unfortunately, the news cycle is only about three hours long now days, so this event has been all but forgotten. This morning's anger du jour is something about google not being fair and balanced. Who knows what this afternoon will bring!?
If these folks are jacking phones like this, has there been any effort turn the tables with a special phone that can be used to track what has been done to it once it has been abducted by the border patrol?
If she was trying to fight this and then took the plea deal does that mean she flipped? I hear from a very highly placed source that flipping someone like that should be illegal.
People who do not understand the most basic aspects of technology have no business being part of the system that is supposed to insure that laws are applied equitably and correctly.
Embargo is just a way for medical research to be commercialized
With respect to the embargo issue, it is not uncommon for medical research to be shared with journalists especially when the results in the paper can be twisted in a way to help a manufacturer. An example of this is given here.
Some industries like to do this not to advance science but to advance their revenues. Be wary when someone tries to make a case that this is an important aspect of doing science.
