Will he rename the teams to the Los Angeles Clippys?

Because anyone capable of travelling a few hundred light years has also developed other technologies and doesn't need our mineral and water.

It's there. But newer browsers ignore the blink tag.

So this is just like all the other stories on Slasdot -- nothing actually happened.

So, BigMegaCorp fucks you over and you sue them. They can afford to throw more lawyers at you and you lose. This happens. A lot.

It isn't bad enough that BigMegaCorp fucked you, now you get to pay extra for getting fucked.

The current system sucks, but "loser pays" is even worse because it assumes that the person who is "wrong" is the person who always loses, and that simply is not the case.

I have to give them credit. Haiku is even more irrelevant than BeOS.

That's not easy to do.

Actually this really is non-news. For as long as I can remember, . . at least back to the early 90s . . . HP has regularly announced big layoffs. Every few years they announce that they are getting rid of 10,000-15,000 people, and yet, the total number of people working for HP doesn't go down. The truth is, while all these alleged layoffs are going on, HP continues to hire people.

It used to be that layoffs were bad. it meant that your business wasn't doing well. But now, everyone does The Dance of the Big Business. Stock price is down? Announce big layoffs. Wall Street loves that and your stock will go up. And then you just quietly hire more.

Wrong.

In the days before the World Wide Web existed I bought Computer Shopper magazine for the ads (the whole magazine was 95% ads). But that's the rare exception. People DO NOT want ads and they especially do not want the annoying, obnoxious ads that have become so prevalent.

If there is no significant correlation between successful strikes and a reduction in al-Qaeda attacks, then, no, things wouldn't be worse. It would be the same.

The bigger issue that no one wants to admit is that we are dealing lunatics and engaging them, is a mistake. During World War II, both Germany and Japan eventually admitted defeat and gave up. But that's because you were dealing with people who were somewhat rational. The people we are dealing with today are literally insane. No amount of military action will ever convince them to quit. As a result, You only have 2 choices:

Kill every last one of them

Contain and isolate them

this release doesn't appear to have any new features targeted at the end user. "

Good. Browsers should have stopped adding "features" 5 years ago. Display web pages and shut the fuck up.

There is no reason for any police to lose their job. Now the police can go back to doing what they are supposed to be doing. Traffic tickets aren't supposed to be a source of revenue. Every police office operating a radar gun and giving out traffic tickets is one less police officer available to go after real criminals.

The original court decision was twofold
1. You have no right to be forgotten by the Newspaper that published the story
2. You have a right to be forgotten by search engines.

This only applies in the EU and only applies to companies incorporated in the EU.

How are those two things not exactly the same?

A fact is a fact. If a newspaper reports a fact and a Google search returns articles which state that same fact, how is there a difference? Why can Goolge be forced to remove reference to a fact, but not the newspaper.

It's legal, but that doesn't make it right. Technically, the first Amendment only prevents the government from restricting free speech. That restriction should apply to every one.

If your ability to earn a living can be taken away because of something you said or did, even though what you did is perfectly legal and you broke no laws, and even though you weren't at work when you said or did it, then you have effectively created a society where there is no free speech.
