They already did make wearing a mask a crime in Canada, punishable by 10 fucking years in jail.
That is wearing a face mask in public, it does not cover private pictures.
However: so that you can recognise me when we meet to plant our bomb at the embassy I have some pictures of me.
who persistently find in favour of the woman, ignoring the benefits that a father can bring to children: if mother does not want her ex-partner around the courts do little to help dad remain in the kids lives. She can break court orders with little penalty while dad is faced with huge legal bills and delays. The courts pretend to act in the best interests of the children - but really they are prejudiced in favour of mothers.
that I can sue the NSA for trying to crack my machines and that the USA will extradite the NSA employees to the UK so that they can be tried in our courts ? Do the people at the USA DOJ understand the meaning of the word ''irony'' ?
This is more outlandish than even something that most political satire writers would have dreamed up.
Many of those ISPs are just reselling BT bandwidth. If BT throttles certain sites all these will be effected.
BT do not resell bandwidth to the Internet, it operates a packet switching network over ATM that connects you to your ISP. You ISP connects you to the Internet and might filter or throttle some sites. BT does not look inside the ATM packets that travel over its network and so does not throttle some traffic - in theory anyway.
BT also operates as an ISP which is probably where the confusion lies.
including other countries; I did not notice anything in the article restricting this to computers in the USA. Other countries might not agree with the USA DOJ allowing computers in their countries to be cracked -- thus the USA cops/investigators will be conducting criminal acts in other countries -- how does that make them different from what the USA wanted to grab Gary McKinnon for ?
your anaolgy does not work. PCs and mini-computers were fundementally different, applications written for one would, generally, not work on the other. When low end tablets become more powerful: AMD has the products to just slot in and take advantage. AMD has both x86 & ARM chips -- it even has one that does both!
The other thing to worry about is business relationships with the tablet vendors. AMD sells to many of them, so no problem there.
No, AMD is not locking itself out of this market.
by those selling ARM. So why should AMD compete ?
The project Alluvion site is approximately 8 miles east from the current Microsoft data center in West Des Moines
8 miles is not far. It is not too hard to envisage a disaster that could affect both sites at once. For starters: Iowa is smack in the middle of Tornado Alley. They are close enough that power supplies and Internet connections will be 'related'. OK: it makes it easier for staff to visit both sites, but 80 miles seems to me safer than 8.
The license used is:
"It basically says these seeds are free to use in any way you want. They can't be legally protected. Enjoy them."
This is a GPL type license. There is nothing to stop Monsanto from going to a farmer who is using these seeds and saying:
Pollen from one of our products blew in last year and so these seeds now contain some of our genes, so you now owe us for using these seeds and can't give it away to anyone.
The only way to deal with Monsanto is to beat them at their own game. One way would be to develop a seed with some novel genes (call them NoGe) and copyright these under something like the GPL. Then grow these seeds upwind of a Monsanto development facility; when, later, Monsanto then sue someone for illegal use of their seeds a NoGe 'owner' could testify that the Monsanto seeds must be allowed free to everyone use due to the 'viral nature' of the GPL. That legal punch up would be interesting to watch!
Now that the government of the USA has decided to remove the statue of limitations as regards taxation, might I remind Barack Obama of the little matter of unpaid taxes to King George III of England. These date back to your protest against the 1773 Tea Act. Can I tell her Magesty's government that payment will soon be made ?
If the BBC can do this
for having the integrity to admit that they screwed up the first time.
Will everyone commenting to this please do so in at most 140 characters. Thank you.
Get the wife & kids to learn and speak Navajo at home. It worked for the USA in World War II so it can work for you too!
The image of the error message did not say who, or which corporation, had made the DMCA complaint. I thought that in order for something to be taken down under the DMCA the user had to be told who was complaining.
In this case: the user admits that the file was something that he should not be sharing, but there have been cases where the DMCA is being used to prevent legal files - in a case like that the user must be told who is complaining so that they can challenge the DMCA complaint.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
