Perhaps review sites should add nofollow attributes to their external links

Maybe just for negative reviews?

From the law, personal information is defined as:

Personal information, a Massachusetts resident's first name and last name or first initial and last name in combination with any one or more of the following data elements that relate to such resident: (a) Social Security number; (b) driver's license number or state-issued identification card number; or (c) financial account number, or credit or debit card number, with or without any required security code, access code, personal identification number or password, that would permit access to a resident’s financial account; provided, however, that “Personal information” shall not include information that is lawfully obtained from publicly available information, or from federal, state or local government records lawfully made available to the general public.

So just a first+last name isn't enough to incur the wrath of the law. It has to be that, plus SSN, Lic Number, or financial account number.

But from how I read that, it has to be the First name, Last name, Plus one of those. Does that mean I can store a list of social security numbers plus last names completely unencrypted and be off free? Odd

The extension module DLL's are third party.

The core isapi apache module is all apache, and that's where the bug is.

The real reason interstellar travel will never happen is the time in the security line with TSA would approach infinity for that sort of trip.

" every person who advocates, teaches, advises or practices the duty, necessity or propriety of controlling, conducting, seizing or overthrowing the government"

Political parties certainly advocate and advise the controlling and conducting of the government. I hope all those politicians are registering.

I was under the impression it was the browser that decided what player to use, and not the player deciding?

Who wants to bet that someone figures out how to use that "remotely disable" feature and disable every single laptop they're giving out within a year?

Nationwide wireless internet sucks.

Stay at campgrounds that offer Wifi, problem solved.

KOA has tons.

It's not all that odd. Privacy is kind of nice.

I'd hate it if companies were constantly recording conversations without telling me. Of course, they all still record, but at least they have to tell me.

It also forces police to get a warrant instead of nicely asking someone I'm about to call to record it.

I'm confused.

So they're a group of black-hat hackers? I assume this since, well, what they did qualifies as black hat hacking.

So that would mean they WANT a less secure world, right? They don't want vulnerabilities fixed. They don't want people to know about them. They want less competition from script kiddies.

But they're arguing against full disclosure in a way that makes it sound like they want a more secure world.

Actually, that's Brilliant!

It's almost like saying "I want more republicans in office, so go vote democrat!", but their subject matter is such that most people won't understand and actually agree with them.

Most sites are developed for IE6 compatibility nowadays. With that in mind, I can't imagine the industry widely accepting this within the next 5 years.

If it's sucking in O2, what's the output?

Considering there's carbon in there my guess will be something along the lines of CO2 or CO.

Will this be better than burning fuel?

Then again, maybe it's not meant to be an environmental friendly solution, but more of an awesome-battery solution.

Describing the symptoms over declaring the problem.

Whenever I hear a "X is broken", I'll ask them to step back and ask them to tell me why they think that.

From what I understand, there's a few common methods that everyone uses to deal with genes.

Translating to code.

Genenome.extractGene(chromosome, subPart) : Gene
Gene.getEncoding() : GeneEncoding
GeneEncoding.equals( ... ) : Boolean

Those are standard things that everyone can do.

So to find out if a gene is responsible for something you take a whole bunch of normal people, and a whole bunch of people with a condition.

You extract genes, and see where they are equal or not. Likely with some algorithm that's a lot better than a linear search.

Then you find a gene that differs between groups with a highly reasonable amount of confidence.

You call that gene something, say "BCR1" and you point out it's location, say chromosome 17, sub part 172. (I have no idea how you actually specify that)

Then, you patent it.

Now, nobody else can do a Genenome.extractGene(17, 172) without violating your patent. That makes research on the gene REALLY HARD to do. It essentially makes it so you can't study or develop cures for the condition.

I'm not a laywer, patent expert, nor a geneticist, so I might be way off. But that's how I tend to think of it.

There's probable-cause in there unrelated to linux and gay mailings.
