Oh, but wait...maybe that explains why the DOJ dragged their feet so much over releasing the sealed seizure warrant documents...-IainB (November 18, 2012, 10:46 PM)
Perhaps the thing we are most guilty of on this forum is beating meta discussions to death-mouser (November 18, 2012, 09:50 AM)

This is clearly the important part of that original photo.
I have cropped it with ScreenShotCaptor and Stickies, and uploaded it to Social Media site DonationCoder.-TaoPhoenix (November 19, 2012, 12:26 AM)
Looks terrific. Can we get a commandline invocation method where we can pass it a file path? If so a .sctool could be created for my Screenshot Captor tool, which would be nice.-mouser (November 18, 2012, 11:57 PM)

On a more serious note, for the people in the US: it's about time to grab your torches, pitchforks and semi-automatics and overthrowyour governmentthe corporations.-f0dder (November 18, 2012, 08:22 AM)
Hmm... IIRC it's now illegal, under US law, for us to post a statement like that online...-40hz (November 18, 2012, 09:36 AM)
There's a whole alphabet of bisphenols for food-plastics manufacturers to get through yet, to discover whether they are harmful. Give the experiment more time.-IainB (November 18, 2012, 07:19 AM)

Hello Zaine (and all),
First, just to be clear, my name is Ryan Smyth and I'm the ALTools Evangelist at ESTsoft. But maybe ALVangelist sounds better~!I also maintain the ALTools English web site at http://www.altools.net (and a lot of other things too).

Not Telling An Idea . . . that's brilliant! I just filed the patent, you lose cheapskate.-allen (November 17, 2012, 09:22 PM)
SP: How could laws and rules have been written this way, and why wouldn’t people notice it all happening? Was it a gradual shift or a more recent trend?
DCJ: Amendment by regulation by rule, one step at a time over many years, corporate lobbyists rewrote the rules. Had they done it all in one big bill we would have noticed. But who pays attention to when two words are changed in subsection q or Section 6108 of some federal or state statute. But some of this was done in the open and no journalists reported on it and no politician had an interest in pointing it out. So five states have taken away your legal right since 1913 to telephone service and put in rules that can literally mean you can only get cell telephone service. Worse, 19 states let corporations pocket the state income taxes withheld from their workers’ paychecks — you read that right, 2,700 big companies in 19 states get to keep the state income taxes of their employees. The best part, from the companies’ point of view, is they don’t have to tell the workers. All of the shift I identify in THE FINE PRINT began in either the 1980s or later, meaning when we abandoned the New Deal for Reaganism, which both parties now embrace.
If you want to know just how broken the patent system is, just look at patent D670,713, filed by Apple and approved this week by the United States Patent Office.
This design patent, titled, “Display screen or portion thereof with animated graphical user interface,” gives Apple the exclusive rights to the page turn in an e-reader application.
Yes, that’s right. Apple now owns the page turn. You know, as when you turn a page with your hand. An “interface” that has been around for hundreds of years in physical form. I swear I’ve seen similar animation in Disney or Warner Brothers cartoons.
(This is where readers are probably checking the URL of this article to make sure it’s The New York Times and not The Onion.)
Well ewemoa, I have to say thanks for prompting me about the plastic issue.
So I'm retiring this kettle after many years of reliable service and moving on to stainless steel.-NigelH (November 17, 2012, 07:39 AM)
