Part of the requirements to be paid a bounty is following the "responsible disclosure policy". The submitter did not follow that policy and therefore did not get paid. It seems pretty simple.
I always make it even simpler, by citing my Greedy Bastard Policy regardless of what anyone does.
If there is a drug that will make you more productive to your employer, it will be embraced and encouraged.
Mayhap this explains the Fermi Paradox.
Remove tax exemptions from all of them. They get the same benefits from government as any other organization does.
Also, it would take the government out of the business of deciding what is and what isn't a "real" religion, and of course keep organizations from pretending to be religions as part of a tax scam.
Now, how are we going to calculate how much the music industry and artists owe radio for all the decades of free marketing and hit-manufacturing?
On Slashdot they got 80% accuracy just by identifying all users as trolls.
We're trying to modernize acre-feet to Manhattan-fathoms, but the traditionalists won't have anything to do with it.
I thought Copenhagen Suborbitals was a brand of pot.
Nice, thanks for the info. Nvidia would be nice, as I want to run blender. Is there a good comparison site for various laptops with high-end graphics and CPUs you know of? I've been poking around online for a while, but determining what the best supported higher-end laptops are for Linux is far from easy.
If Apple's recent stream of security failures has not convinced you to switch to Linux or BSD, you are basically hopeless.
Oh, I've been running Linux for years and years. I was going to dual-boot an apple laptop with osx+linux, but now I have no interest in having osx any more than I do windows. I'll take a look at the new dell.
My Grandmother (she is 85) has an Intel based Core Duo Macbook and Apple has stopped providing security updates [...] When we bought the machine (new) I thought the macbook would be more usable for her than a Linux laptop. While it has been a good machine, being orphaned on security updates is bad form by Apple.
It's not too late:

We are talking apple users here, not Linux users. All three Apple users who know these steps have probably already done so. The other several hundred million are fucked, and Apple has now publicly taken a stance that they plan to hang those millions out to dry.
Ironically, I was going to buy an apple laptop for sheer convenience (and to run more recent versions of scrivener), but now I most certainly won't. Time to research good Linux laptop alternatives instead (ideally with high-end graphics capabilities that support blender's cycles module

The whole thing has been turned into a gigantic cream-skimming operation.
We already have this tracking system in place, it is called a smartphone or OnStar or any other vehicle crash reporting system.
Here is what is going to happen. They will invest in license plate trackers while autonomous cars start to hit the roads. Soon, autonomous cars will be driving by themselves. I can even envision the day where multiple families timeshare an autonomous vehicle. Why park a car in a lot when someone else could be using it? The day of the autonomous taxi is not far away.
Meanwhile we need a clever way to defeat the license plate readers. Since they are fixed tech, how hard could it be? Spraying the plate with IR reflective coating and then mounting HID (High Intensity Infrared Leds) to complete blow out the IR filter in the camera sensor. It seems like these things could be defeated.
Any ideas?
