From the military's point of view the whole point is to get rid of stuff. There is no incentive for them to do anything but find easier ways to shove their spent equipment out of the door as quickly as possible. The problem is not about handing out equipment in a responsible manner. The problem is that military equipment is being handed out to civilians.
Google keeps getting penalized for sending people to different sites. They must be considering the costs associated with creating or buying their own news service. If google were to take over Reuters or Bloomberg and then turn off their news focused search engine then the pucker factor in some newsrooms is going to hit the roof. The news search engine is becoming more of a liability every day. The downside is that google would have to figure out how to deal with employees that want to live like regular people as opposed to Silicon Valley kids willing to live in their offices 24/7.
Part of the reason it grew too big is that when Bell was originally broken up, it was broken up geographically. Instead of one big monopoly we had a whole lot of smaller monopolies, and they were not competing except for long distance calling. The subsequent mergers allowed for a broader geographical monopoly, and now that geography is important again we are back where we started.
It would be nice if judges did this to the large corps that do this to individuals. Seems a bit one sided if the big guys get to screw over the little guys with impunity. Meanwhile Zillow gets to screw over students for transforming their photos into bombastic sarcasm posts.
This has come across the first page so often that we should be familiar enough with it to be on a first name basis. Can we simply refer to this as Naruto v. Slater now?
As an aside, I have been around macaques before, and they are obnoxious and vexatious monsters. It should not surprise anyone that they are also litigious little bastards as well.
It is unfortunate that programming is such arcane witchcraft that scènes à faire would be unbelievable. Surely, there must be dozens of different ways to check if one number is smaller than another number.
That sounds like a great attack vector. Hijack a few machines owned by someone you do not like and have them launch an attack on someone else you are not fond of. Then site back and watch the fireworks. Mutually assured destruction only works when there are only two sides.
As an aside, a party's manifesto is more than its platform. From the Salisbury Convention, the House of Lords is limited in what it can do to oppose legislation that is stated in the manifesto. It is an important document, and a promise in the party's manifesto provides more lee-way in turning a promise into a law than a party platform.
Respect does not imply simply doing what others tell you to do. Respect means you will listen and consider what someone else says and then make your own decision. Respect also means that you do not react with violence when someone else does not make the decision you think they should.
You seem to be conflating respect with fascism. Unfortunately, it seems to be a mistake that is all too common.
The report examined 50 incidents last year in which officers were killed in the line of duty.
This falls a little short of representing a random sample of officers. Choosing people who have suffered traumatic losses is less than ideal in terms of deciding how the broader population view their situations.
Remember when a number of people became concerned when fixed, public cameras started appearing on the streets in Britain, and a number of privacy issues were raised. Now imagine a world where every cop is a camera and all the video is held by a private company with little or no oversight. The only up side is that they will be so deluged with data that it will be very difficult to analyze most of it. (For now.)
Spanish politicians' predilection for dictating internet behaviour knows no bounds. It was just like yesterday they wanted Spanish publishers to charge search engines for searching. It would seem that the old punchline from Saturday Night Live, "Franco is still dead," no longer applies at least in a figurative sense.
ugh.... it is not meta-data. It is data. Any information you collect and organize is data. Just because it is a summary of other information does not mean it is no longer data. The people who managed to change the meaning of what data is and find a term that minimizes what they are collecting are geniuses.
"So it could mean that individuals who illegally download copyright content will be able to get off scot-free because their identities will never be known, short of being caught in the act," said Mr Lau.
It must really suck to be a part of a legal system in which you actually have to catch someone in the act of breaking the law in order to prove that the person broke the law. Madness!
Even on other aspects, Facebook, something gets published on Facebook or Twitter and something like that, even if it's false, people are harassed out of their houses, they are chanted in stores. This is not what America is about, and it has to be decided by a higher authority, all of this set aside. Nobody wants to limit the First Amendment rights from freedom of speech, but you don't want chaos either.
Wow, I certainly do not want to go to the places he shops. He must live in an awful world where people cannot even show their faces without fear of being hunted down and harassed. Either that or he lives in Oz and likes building a straw man.
Then again, I also do not want to live in a place where a judge gets to decide what people want rather than what the law specifies. The higher authority he cites does not come from judges but from the written laws.
Having said that, it is interesting that he likes to ignore other higher authorities such as Strunk and White.
