Generally that's not actually breaking the law. Avoiding accidents, following reasonable directions from road crews and the like explicitly override other laws.

Holy Hallucinations batman!

Salaries go to a joint savings account.

Bills / savings/ investments / daily living expenses come from that (via credit card or checking account).

We also pay each other some pocket money to spend on our own hobbies and other stuff.

Re:Germany: Police seize bitcoins worth €2B on Tuesday January 30, 2024 @12:44PM (#39193165)
The way things are going with these seizures, soon governments are going to be largest holders of bitcoins.

Good work on getting a currency without government control peeps!

Re:Getting my library cards onto my phone the hard way on Saturday October 28, 2023 @01:51PM (#38051946)
So.. I just added my card to Stocard and used it a King County. Took 2 minutes, on my phone, synced across devices.

Or yeah, you could do it that way I guess.

Re:AWS IPv4 Estate Now Worth $4.5B on Monday September 18, 2023 @01:33AM (#37552563)
Only network engineers should see or care about IP addresses. The fact IPv6 addresses use colons is why people don't use IPv6 is the worst take I've ever heard.
They aren't similarly priced though. It seems the Lenovo config is above $2000 according to https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadx/th...
In answer to your first question... https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadx/th... vs https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air

So 1800 for the Lenovo vs 1200 for the Mac.

This is a meaningless comparison.

Never is the simple answer. Otherwise all copyright would have pretty much been eliminated by the pirate bay.

Enforcement and collection of the damages is a totally different issue.

The paper claims they reverted all the patches at the time. Obviously they did not.
Re:Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, Part III on Monday April 19, 2021 @11:23AM (#26863764)
Apple's official graphics API is Metal. There is plenty of documentation for that. Apple considers Metal a commercial advantage over OpenGL / Vulkan. That is; they want developers to develop against Metal.
Same IP? Don't forget your instance has different public and private IPs.

I have a set, and they are amazing for noise cancelling. Can highly recommend.
Funnily enough, it claims to have been updated 49 seconds ago for me.

Guess they missed the whole "deleted" flag.

Maybe.

The problem is we don't know how many hoaxes are there and have _not_ been discovered. If there are a lot, then the model is failing, if there are only a few, then it is working.

Alas, without that data, we can't make a call on the wikipedia article either way.

Re:Forget Extinct: The Brontosaurus Never Even Existed on Sunday December 09, 2012 @09:21PM (#4897124)
One of the points of the article is the head/skull usually associated with the Brontosaurus was incorrect, as well as the body being a duplicate.

So with the usual headline sensationalism, it is fair to say "it never existed". More accurately, one could say something like "the dinosaur popularly known as brontosaurus, is actually a aptosaurus with a different head..." But as a headline, it lacks punch.

Take a look at the patches that ubuntu does apply.

In this case there is more than a little politics involved.

Re:“:-!!” what is it in c code? on Sunday March 11, 2012 @09:12PM (#3691910)
The sizeof is there so it returns a value so it can be used as an expression. See the comment above the code (reproduced in the original question).

I would agree. The whole document has a few little niggles that make me think it's BS, or at least severely overblown.

Additionally they quote it's happened 5 times... by an un-named service manager.

Re:Creditor moves to dismantle copyright troll Righthaven on Monday October 31, 2011 @01:47AM (#3176510)
Probably.

Still, I can't imagine the trademark "Righthaven" has a lot of value any more.

Re:Creditor moves to dismantle copyright troll Righthaven on Monday October 31, 2011 @12:43AM (#3176394)
Righthaven never had any copyrights to begin with. Which is why they keep getting absolutely slaughtered in cases (no standing).

So unfortunately Randazza won't get those copyrights.
