Guess what? Your legal issues do not give you the ability to violate someone's right to property, or commit assault (attempting to take it from them.)

If you are unhappy with them bringing something onto your premises, you can fire them and have them escorted off the property, but that is the limit.

SPAM is not just advertising, it is messages that are blasted out wholesale without thought to their destination. GGP is clearly not spam.

They don't have a simple easy plan to fix everything. But they don't need one. They are doing a valuable service just by drawing attention to the problems.

It's a hell of a lot more than you are doing.

If /dev/urandom could be distinguished from /dev/random by the human ear, it would be an extremely shitty excuse for a random number source.

Until we decide to stop your nice new truck, drag you out and beat you to death in the street.. keep pushing, it may get there eventually.

Of course, in latin word order signifies very little, so this convention is debatable...

Then why not take the time to do it right? You have nearly a year, make some friends in Hawaii and ship your equipment far enough ahead of time that you can correct any mishaps.

Whoosh

Peaceful protest doesn't require a permit you fucking fascist.

No. We already know how to generate and detect neutrinos at will. If they travel FTL, then that means we know how to send messages faster than light = backwards in time. This means we can break causality at will. That is a hell of a lot more than a footnote, it would completely upset our entire understanding of the universe.

apparently not.

Get real. Do you have any idea how much space there is in the sky? I would be a lot more worried about it landing on someone's windshield, and even that is terribly unlikely

Oh, my backup strategy definitely needs work.. in the first case I had none at all.

These were two separate drives purchased a year apart BTW though.

The main problem was not the final failures but more that nearly every time I lost power I encountered corruption.. and if I put off fixing it that led to crashes requiring hard reset -> more problems.

Yeah, because restoring from backup is so much fun.. I've used OCZ drives in both a desktop and a laptop, in each case they failed within 6 months. While the speedup was awesome, it was not worth the constant pain of repairing serious filesystem corruption every time I had a power failure or hard reset.

Dumbass, have a look at where the money coming into universities actually comes from.. here's a hint for you, the people who produce real results (i.e. physical and biological scientists) are getting hard money from NSF, NIH and other grant agencies and are subsidizing the liberal arts and social science departments.
