Dude, thats so gay.

I would put a P on the thumb and NP on the last two fingers. Fill in the blanks with = or != when the problem is resolved.

Yeah, and the US is a signatory to the UN declaration of human rights, and resolution 1441. And ... fill in the blanks ... is a violation. It does not matter, when the regulator is weaker than the actor.

Huh? Someone could "borrow" your wallet when it is sitting on your desk, take a peek at your notecard, or run it by the local copier. And you'd never know. Your plastic cards do not succumb to this.

IANAL, but contempt of court typically means refusing to cooperate with court orders. Not sure how it would apply in this case.

dude, you've gotta be making those up, yahoo's search just isn't that good!

Dude that lithium looks like helium to me.

In your hypothetical case, this would not count as evidence then, and the prosecution will have to find other forms of evidence. It is the prosecutions job to find the evidence, not the judges. I wonder why the guy did not say he liquidated the 5mil into, say, cash. And subsequently had the money stolen from him. He might have to show proof of a bank transaction of the liquidation, which he could have done. But IMO he does not have to prove that the money was stolen from him. Any legal opinions?

Umm its open source, there's a good chance the community will modify the code for the privacy freaks. Google/Bing SRWare Iron for details.

My mum told me Nandan Nilekani of Infosys/Jon Stewart fame is the head of the so-called Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). So maybe we can hope for some infusion of private organization/efficiency into this project.

Go ahead and mod me flamebait, but what does India have to do with this?

Can you cite some research indicating Americans write far better code than Indians?

Now, in one hand I've got an M.S. that I'm only superficially proud of because it does not represent the full extent of my abilities. In the other hand, I've got excellent performance reviews for a job I have no pride in and a bunch of clueless co-workers and managers who are congratulating me for "finally finishing college".

I gotta say, that sounds ingrateful and snobbish considering the financial comfort your company gave you during your studies.

In Canada, the swine get influenza from you!

Except that people always like free stuff.

That is exactly what is happening. The newspapers are going after Google for money. They want to charge Google for the headlines and short blurbs on the Google News page.

Essentially, everything on the web is copyrighted, Google has money, so people are going to start going after Google. Precedents like this are going to make things worse.

Google will respond with the obvious: "Set up robots.txt and we wont crawl you" - hastening the demise of the newspaper. Worse, if thrust with a lawsuit, Google will proactively block the newspaper, and the remaining newspapers will shut the f up.
