Black's Law Dictionary may be more relevant than OED:
Libel: Defamatory statement published through any manner or media. If intended to simply bring contempt, disrespect, hatred, or ridicule to a person or entity it is likely a civil breach of law. However, if it causes mayhem or breach of peace, it can be a criminal breach of law. Yet, again, if the statement is newsworthy, even if defamatory, proof of benefit to the public is required to avoid criminal complaint.
Nowhere near the same number of students in the system. Same as in Detroit, Baltimore, etc. It's absurd to have the same number of physical buildings and mid to upper level managers for 50,000 students as for 100,000 students.
What's this day of rest shit? What's this bullshit? I don't fuckin' care!
i'm so tired of all the vitriol spewed at apple for "stealing other people's work". they've innovated the hell out of the tech industry and you should be grateful you morons. just having an item or a concept isn't useful until it's affordable and easy enough for lots of people to use it without hassle.
There's a few problems. Foremost is that you are addressing people who are angry at attempts to change computers for the benefit of the average slob. If they were happy flipping switches on a panel (or pecking away at a keyboard illuminated by the green glow of their text terminal) then everyone should be. They want to 'keep it real'.
There are also sour grapes, some NIH, etc.
My favorite from 'them' is "Apple is just a marketing company" accompanied with "anyone could do what they do". Somehow they never are able to explain if it's "so easy" and obvious why did it take until Apple did it for someone to do it? When I pose that question, comments regarding my sexual prefence, my mother's sexual proclivity, and the possibility that my religious affiliation involves a certain fruit based organization are raised.
Not a damned thing they can do about a hostile takeover. Sure, a poison pill, but sometimes that is worse.
Maps? Google wasn't permitted to improve or do squat with the iOS map app until Apple kicked them off as a standard app. When Apple's maps came out, bad as they were, all of a sudden Google's map app came back improved and updated, with features that were only released on Android because they were now free of Apple's restrictions on what features they were permitted to implement on the IOS version of the app.
There, fixed that for you.
Google wanted to put turn by turn navigation in. Apple stopped them because they didn't want Google advertising on it.
Ahem, fixed that for you.
noone is alone in hating software patents except the patent trolls. consumers and even software developers at large companies all hate them, thats why software patents are being eliminated country by country.
I bet the lead singer from Herman's Hermits couldn't care less about software patents.
HOSTS FILES FTW!!!!!
We finally know what account apk logs in under.
The whole point of that arrangement was to avoid sanctioning action that might actually lead to WWIII - the 5 veto powers were the 5 nations that had nuclear weapons.
Umm... No.
In 1946, considerably fewer than five countries had nukes. Hell, France barely had a country.
... against whom? the rebels or the saudis?
Noone with half a brain believes Assad is behind the chemical attack
WTF is it necessary to slander Herman's Hermits?
Wait... who the hell asked you to join in the first place?
Bloody Americans.
Given the use of the word 'bloody', I assume you're a UKian. In which case "I learned it from watching you!"
It's kind of hard to rebuild in an area where a nuclear bomb was dropped you know.
And yet at least two of the places where this has happened were able to rebuild, and quite magnificently, I might add.
Small step, easy to make, cost efficient and nobody can say that 150 km/h limits the freedom of motorists.
I can... lots of people do track days.
I'm a lorry driver... and GP is right. Very few drivers actually pay for their fuel any more, and if they're from the same company, they wouldn't bother rotating. I certainly never have deliberately sat in a convoy - it's a lot harder to drive when you can't see all the road in front of you. Sometimes you'll get trucks that constantly overtake each other, because one is quicker up hills, the other is quicker on the flat, but they don't do it deliberately.
