Unfortunately a better answer with the method the courts use would be "I can't speculate as to their knowledge of computer systems." You have to give a non-answer to a question you can't possibly know the answer to, so the lawyer has to re-phrase the question so it's not so loaded.

I'm not going to dig up the exact articles, but Mexican drug cartels have been busted running grow houses in the San Diego area before. Indoor, high quality, hydroponic setups. They rent a house for the sole purpose of growing as much pot as possible, and the housing meltdown has made it even more profitable to do so. One of the local papers (either the Union-Tribune or the North County Times) has run a few articles about houses like this being busted, or burning down as a result of the crappy electrical systems used.

So if I want to take a picture of something outdoors and post it online, you want me to ask every person who may be in the picture in advance of doing so? Or does it just bother you because Google's doing it?

Me and my friends can disagree that language is best recieved by example instead of from the the educations.

They are selling the kit, which sounds like it also includes software, so there could still be licenses involved.

If Google designs the OS right, my guess is that there will be offline modes of everything, and it will sync with the online versions when you get a connection back. They're not talking about making a system with no hard drive for it, as far as I'm aware.

If they do this right, they'll also be able to allow Wine to work, which opens it up to still running Windows applications, as well as Linux apps.

I doubt they're going into this without a good vision for making it a real competitor.

That definitely makes sense. I had an Australian Shepherd (via a roommate) that did dumb things all the time, but had great problem solving skills. Opening doors and windows, knocking over beer cans (never glass bottles) onto the ground (but not carpet that would soak it up), running away and coming home a few days later. She knew a lot of commands too, but I'll never call her smart. She just was a loyal problem solver. And she enjoyed beer.

I presume that all politics are based on a circular system, where you have left and right on each side, moderates in between on one "side" of the center, and the crazy at the other side. If you go too far left or right away from moderate, you've entered the crazy zone. I made a graphic to help those who don't understand: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3426/3771404858_8a85ffcdb7_o.jpg

It was a Futurama reference, you insensitive clod.

Pearl Jam dropped their label, and now will exclusively be in Target (as far as national brands go). Do you feel better now?

A blanket ban on all P2P programs is still overkill, and not at all necessary. Bittorrent programs are P2P by definition, but you're not going to accidentally share a file with them any more than you're going to accidentally install Linux because of them.

He'd never get the funding needed to pull it off. I'd imagine the studio told him they'd help him fund it only if he made it an action movie also. It'll draw in more people that way.

Only the higher-ups in government from what I understand, but there's also a large population of North Koreans living in Japan as well. See also Chongryon.

They could add an orange border, or a banner at the bottom, or any number of options not requiring user interaction just as easily.

Maybe the problem is that you have degree requirements. Most of the people I know who can handle that stuff don't have a degree in IS, but they have plenty of real-world experience doing exactly what you're looking for. Apparently that piece of paper is worth a lot more than knowledge and experience, so you get exactly what you're advertising for.
