I hope you got that in writing, that could prove to be an invaluable defence later.
Also, it would have been great to be able to send a copy to the local news, you might have been able to cost him his position.
If you don't know how your car works, you shouldn't driving. Any time you are operating heavy machinery, you should know how to turn it off. If this isn't in the driver's license test, it should be.
Because, no matter how they try, they aren't one of the original writers, living in the same timeframe, experiencing the same world that the writer was. This script presumably in some way is influenced by the era in which it was written. This is the work that I would want to see performed, as it would be more like the Original Series. While I've enjoyed the New Voyages episodes, this would have been a great opportunity to see something that CBS will simply let rot until it is forgotten and too late.
I like that idea better, but the tricky part is what counts as using it? Or efforts to use it? This may become difficult to enforce and create additional court cases arguing over proof of efforts. Far more effective to just set much shorter terms.
Why can't CBS just license it for a dollar? Copyright is enforced, license is legit, fans get something that CBS must know they're never going to do anything with. How many unproduced scripts can they have? Would they really ever re-make the series using the old scripts and use this one? Greed, pure and simple. "If we can't use it, nobody can"
We seriously need copyright reform. Copyright terms should be 14 years again. I think as a society, the we (the US) should just ignore copyrights after that time.
I had to buy a textbook twice, as the classes were structured to use one half one semester, and the other the next. The next year, they changed which version we were using. I compared the books. The two most notable differences, page after page where this: 1) The homework problems were all SLIGHTLY different (some numbers tweaked, or sometimes just in a different order) 2) All blue graphs were now red and all red graphs were now blue. WTF???
I am sure there were some other fixes and such, but why change all the problems? Answer: because then wouldn't actually need to buy the new version. They wish to kill the used market.
An application should not ask you whether "you really want to quit" you already told it that - instead it should make sure that when you quit nothing bad happens. If you were working on a document but didn't save that yet - then just keep the working copy when the program is closed. Don't overwrite what's in the saved copy and don't throw it away - just restore it when the application is opened again, and suddenly quitting word processor is no longer dangerous. When quitting a music or video player it should remember what you were playing and come back to that when the application is started again. A video player should keep the position basically for every movie it has been playing, so if you come back to it later you can continue to watch from the same position, even if you have watched something else in between.
This will just add further bloat.You want applications to start instantly, but you want them to load even more information at startup and save even more at every shutdown. Just ask the user if they want to continue later, or remind them that they need to save. Should my media player really need to automatically remember that I closed every episode of my favorite tv show just before the credits began?
This. I have the Verizon LG Revolution. Need to reboot (which uses typically 1/8th of my battery!) just to flip 4G off and on. 4G on = maybe 3/4 of a day of battery. 4G off = at least 2 days of battery.
For starters it will allow you to host a bunch of services on different machines without having to put them all on weird ass ports because you only have a single ip. Peer to peer software will work as intended without nasty hacks to poke holes through the nat.
Well, on my home network, I'd want everything from the outside firewalled unless I initiated the connection. (Kinda like what NAT does). How will peer2peer software work in this case? By punching holes in the firewall using nasty hacks? Serious question.
You concentrate on the car in front of you and if you are too close...
Go back to driving school. When driving, you should not be concentrating in any one place, but rather accessing your surroundings, that is, the road directly in front, far ahead, behind, to the left and to the right, at all times. You should never depend on anyone else to signal to you what you should do, nor should you blindly obey any other person's signaling. You are the one who is ultimately in control of the vehicle, and you are the only one responsible when you rear-end someone. If you are too close. It is your fault. You are the one controlling your vehicle.
You mean like Taxis? Sorry, but no thanks. Being a suburbanite, you can pry my car out of my cold, dead hands. But I do firmly believe more training should be required for a drivers license, as well as periodic re-testing, especially the written parts. Everyone could use some reminders. Say every 5 years.
Heh, Agreed about office. My current favorite: Outlook 2010. To export a 'personal folder archive'.pst file in Outlook 2007, you go to File-> Import and Export. To do the same on 2010, (hello ribbon) you do File->Import. This then opens the same Import and Export wizard! WTF? Are words costing more these days?
If you cannot consume the media without a copy of it being made (e.g., in the memory of the player), there's plenty of room for weasels in copyright law.
Well, Damn. I guess I can't listen to the any music without making a copy of it in soundwaves in the air, and then in the reverberations in my eardrum, and then the electrical impulses.... sheesh.
Unions are a good thing when they are kept on the smaller side. When they grow up, they become dangerous, self-serving monstrocities in their own right.
Why don't unions have a time limit or purpose-limit? Perhaps unions should only be allowed to form with a specific, fixed set of goals and be forced to disband when those are achieved? This way, people would have to actually rally and re-organize every time there is something they need changed. The increased effort could help to move the goals each time away from the petty or unreasonable.
Until electric cars can be recharged in about the same time it takes to fuel up an internal combustion car, they won't be practical replacements.
Why not? If you drive a few miles to work everyday and come home everyday, why can't you just top up overnight? How often do you need to refuel that you really need to have it done in minutes? If it's really that often, you might want to consider moving closer to where you work or getting a better car.
At the very least we'd have to use 24 hour time, and get rid of the now-meaningless AM/PM. While I kind of like the idea for time coordination and computer's sakes, I think just removing DST and making work/class start an hour earlier would make much more sense. Especially since computer time records can get confusing when using DST. But, yes, I think there is way more utility in knowing that there is a time difference between two locations and having an idea of what part of the day it is just by knowing the time than this Submitter realizes.
I think it's a bit more complicated than that. If the loop were polling a device or address or something outside of the state of the program, the loop very well could be 'infinite' by that definition, but not malfunctioning.
Yes. Because feedback is king. When solving difficult math or science problems, doing homework and then getting the grade back a week later does very little to help you learn. This is because by the time the grades get in, the train of thought during the problem-solving period is long gone. While hopefully future generations of parents will be able to mentor their own children in their younger years, the whole point of going to school or university is to be under the tutelage of someone very well versed in the material.
Students need to be applying and using concepts with the supervision of the teachers, who can guide them as they make mistakes or have difficulty. not the next day or a week later. This 'new' system sounds like what should have been happening all along. It's been done before in the form of apprenticeships or trade guilds

Sounds like poor design to me. The airbags should deploy if the car experiences appropriate impact. Period.

that ignited starting fluid (diethyl ether) that was on the air filter
And what did we learn here? Read the directions on the starting fluid and remove the air filter before using it!

Wouldn't they be able to just change the email associated with the account to be their own?
