Exactly, he's living in hiding. Osama Bin Laden had to do the same, but for actually committing terrible crimes. Hardly the same magnitude and hardly living the life of a celebrity.
He is publicly available for theguardian journalists 24/7 to reply on current matters so you can assume the USA can pinpoint his exact location with precise accuracy. Unless you think the USA didn't know where Osama was either untill they did their raid?
The site wipes the content of the inputs if I submit without enough information.
Since I'm not American and don't know what the score ranges should be, can you put a little tooltip or addendum to explain the test and what it's scored out of?
I was interested in poking around to see if I would have scored scholarships anywhere in America if I input similar grades to what I achieved in Australia but the lack of usability made me quit.
I'm a contractor also, front end, and my agency invoices for me. All I do is fill out a timesheet on work time. It's literally no different than a perm role, but I get 100k instead of the 50k - 60k I'd get for the same role as a perm.
What's the penalty if you get caught? Restaurants usually just say it's "ketchup" without mentioning that it's Heinz. What can Heinz actually do to you if you buy a bottle of their stuff and fill it with something else?
> If you're using Heinz' trademark to sell a different product they can sue you easy.
No. If you're using the Heinz trademark in such a way as to confuse and mislead the public, then they can sue you. Otherwise probably not.
Consider the example of Apple Computer and Apple Music (once owned by the Beatles). Two businesses, no conflict, so no lawsuit.
Once Sun Computer threatened to sue me because I had a Web page named "Sun Computer" (the page computed the position of the sun: http://www.arachnoid.com/lutusp/sunrise/). My argument was that I wasn't trying to confuse the public, and my use of the word "sun" was legitimate because it referred to the astronomical object by that name. Their objection was that my use of "Sun Computer" as a page name caused my page to appear above theirs in the Google search listings.
I decided their position had merit, and I renamed the page. My point is that it is all about the degree to which use of a trademark or trademarked name would confuse the public and hurt someone's business, not use of a trademark per se.
The different product the parent mentioned is still ketchup. The scenario is replacing the ketchup in a Heinz bottle with ketchup from another brand, not selling "Heinz Cola" or something.
My post showed that the OP was wrong -- it showed that using a trademarked name is not in and of itself actionable. There has to be a basis for action apart from the simple fact that the names are the same.
Well that's the interesting thing, I'd imagine that there is some kind of penalty but I have no idea what. Misrepresentation of a food product to consumers? Maybe. It's tenuous, but I'd imagine it's very possible for them to spin it like that.
One of the useful features of Lorem Ipsum text is that it's clear that it's purely there as a place holder so there's less danger of it accidently making its way onto the live site.
If there's some reason why you need actual real text as opposed to Lorem Ipsum, then I'm more of a fan of "indicative" text rather than random nonsense. By that I mean briefly write something related to what is actually going to appear in the space. It doesn't need to be great copy, but a person reading it can make out what is generally going to end up there and if it does accidently go live it's less of an issue than if you productionised "bullshit ipsum".
Given that Bullshit Ipsum appears to have neither of these features, I don't really see a use for it.
I agree with this but also found that there can be a significant difference depending on your subject matter. It's typically easier for people in CS to publish because there are fewer barriers to developing and testing your work. Compare this to something like biology where a PhD student may have to cultivate an experiment involving animal tissues that may or may not become compromised somehow (for example), or some other delay that's much less likely to happen when working with computers, and you can see why they might take longer to develop something publishable.
Consequently there is an expectation that CS PhD students should publish more.
It's hard to say. I published 8 papers before submitting mine - 6 conference and 2 journal. I guess technically you don't really need to publish any, but doing so yields a few key benefits:
a) A conference paper early in the process can get you some really great feedback on your research. You might get to network with some people who are influential or prominent in your field. You may also get greater clarity for the direction you want to take the research.
b) Publishing a few papers means that a lot of the work you'll be submitting in your thesis has already been scrutinised by experts in much the same way that your thesis will be graded. If there are any weaknesses in your work or literature you've overlooked then this should come out in the review process when you submit your papers so you then have time to address the issues. Once published, you have greater certainty that the quality of your work is PhD suitable.
c) You get to put a timestamp on your work in case someone does something extremely similar in the meantime. It's improbable, but it's not impossible. If your ideas are great, the likelihood of this happening increases. If you publish stuff, you can point at your published work and say "look - this idea was mine". This almost sort of happened to me. I took it as reassurance that what I was doing had some merit.
d) Paper writing is similar to thesis writing, albeit on a much smaller scale. You still have to review the literature, present your work, evaluate it properly and do all the necessary comparisons to other existing stuff. If you can get a small paper published it's great practice for what you'll ultimately have to do for the thesis.
Agreed. I really dislike the "security question" feature a lot of sites force you to enter. In my opinion they make my account much less secure than it would be without this feature. There are plenty of people around who know my email address and have the means to find out my mother's maiden name, or what car I first had or whatever ridiculous information I'm forced to provide to "secure" my account.
I very much doubt it's as glamorous as you seem to be imagining.
