Just another reminder to use strong passwords,
It does not matter how good your password is, if it can be reset by anyone researching the answer to Apple's "security questions", like:
- What was the model of your first car?
- What was your childhood nickname?
- In what city did your parents first meet?
Never mind social engineering, a lot of those could be answered by Google for a starlet.
There were no riots over OJ because he was acquitted.
But if he had been convicted, large race-riots were expected.
Let me ask you... European governments are strong arming various USA states on the death penalty by both enforcing patents and not selling drugs. What are your feelings on this?
Hardly the same - they just don't want the US states using their *medicines* to kill. Its not like they are threatening tariffs on Texas exports.
You could probably shoot the prisoners with EU-made bullets, as those are designed to kill, not heal.
They would lose all the USA government contracts.
You think they do not get gov't contracts in other countries now? And there would still be a US subsidiary for that purpose if needed.
That doesn't apply to much to Europe as Europe has reasonably copyright laws.
You'd think "life plus 50 years" would be reasonable enough, but the US has been strong-arming countries to extent copyright 20 years. (until the next extension)
No it doesn't. Microsoft is a US entity. They aren't European.
MS is a multi-national. They could move their HQ to Ireland next week, for tax purposes, and not much would change.
The USA doesn't shove their laws down other countries throats. You don't want USA law don't buy USA products.
As slashdot readers should know, the USA frequently shoves its copyright laws for a start. The problem is not so much in buying USA products, as
"If you want to be able to sell anything in the US market, here are a bunch of laws we need you to adopt before getting our 'free' trade agreement. "
The fact that so many experts on the disease die of it
TFS is misleading; no experts have died. The "authors" is a very long list of names, like the credits at the end of a movie.
Actually, real pros use
cat > filename
then type Ctrl-d when done.
Type? Amateur hour! Real pros just whistle into the modem.
The only Bacteria that are scary are anti-biotic resistant ones
So all that fuss over anthrax was misguided? Nothing scary, nothing to worry about?
How is "Pakis" offensive? It is clearly an abbreviation of "Pakistanis",.
Its offensive because they are probably actually Indians. Like calling you a Kiwi. Apparently the pommy bastards ( a term of endearment) don't know the difference.
I made the bad choice to trust my high school girlfriend.
WTF!? Your girlfriend had to drug you to get laid? You gotta be trollin'. How awful for you.
And here is me having sympathy, thinking it was your schoolteacher or something.
Oh wait, BronsCon
Would it help to know that it is largely an urban legend?
Drink spiking with Rohypnol and GHB on a large scale that people are imaging is not real.
In my city, a study was done on a large number of young people arriving at the city hospital (free A&E) with suspected drink-spiking.
Not one had any traces in their blood. Maybe some had been spiked with extra alcohol, but mostly is was young women not taking responsibility for their own excessive drinking (or pills).

The point is, you were being sarcastic, but unwittingly stating a truth among the pointless absurdity. Wring "gun" on a piece of paper can be very dangerous - especially in the scenario of a bank.
But not in a school essay - so there is no connection. Context is vital.
I dunno, I robbed a bank once by walking in, unarmed, writing "gun" on a piece of paper,
Worst analogy ever. Handing the teller a piece of paper with "gun" on it will get you done for armed robbery. It will reasonably be construed as a threat. Same as hands in pockets with finger extended.
Threatening to have a gun or knife is enough to have you locked up for years.
But the kid did not make any threats, so what on earth is your point?
Sir Humphrey: Russians? Who's talking about the Russians?
Hacker: Well, the independent deterrent.
Sir Humphrey: It's to protect us against the French!
Hacker: The French?! But that's astounding!
Sir Humphrey: Why?
Hacker: Well they're our allies, our partners.
Sir Humphrey: Well, they are now, but they've been our enemies for the most of the past 900 years. If they've got the bomb, we must have the bomb!
Hacker: If it's for the French, of course, that's different. Makes a lot of sense.
Sir Humphrey: Yes. Can't trust the Frogs.
Hacker: You can say that again!
> In the city, I have to travel 20 minutes to the grocery store/hardware store,
How is that possible? Are you in some soul-less unserviced satellite town?
Within a 20 minute driving radius of me (in Australia) is the CBD, half a dozen suburban shopping malls, and numerous other supermarkets.
Its hard to imagine anyone living in an urban area more than 5 minutes drive from a supermarket.
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
