The $39 late fee is just the icing on the cake. Where they really get you is by suddenly jacking up your interest rate due to the 'missed' payment. And when that shows up on your credit report, any other credit cards you may have may have their rates jump as well.
The non-rechargeable lithium batteries are also much lighter than the NiMH or alkaline ones. They're great for hiking/camping, where you may not have regular access to electricity.
And if you are dragging them up to orbit, the price difference between the battery types is probably a minor component of the cost.
It is possible that Kodak can't collect royalties from the manufacturer in the country it is located, in which case they can collect from the importer.
This happened because trademark law says companies are required to defend their TM or lose them.
Now, TFA is a little light on info (the summary's almost as long), and doesn't really say on what basis Nintendo did the takedown, but as long as the people using the TM are properly acknowledging the TM owner there's no danger of losing the TM. That requires not using it yourself for a period of time or ignoring others using it without acknowledgement, or having it become genericised. That's separate from the TM holder's objections to (and control over) others' use of the TM.
Sounds kinda sort like trademark.
Disney gets to keep Mickey regardless - all they're (probably not ever) losing is a specific work that happens to include Mickey. You can do what you want with the Steamboat Willie cartoon, but you won't be able to market it with Mickey's name, and you'll have to be careful of derivative works that are more than just re-sampling the cartoon.
One's real data should be backed up anyway, so recovery of the data is a non-issue. I'd feel compelled to wipe and reinstall if the laptop was recovered after being stolen.
In the pre-encryption days, I'd have preferred the laptop self-destruct if it left my possession for too long.
Okay, the Amazon lists make no sense. If you look at the overall top mp3 sellers (Amazon's most popular items in MP3 Players), the current generation Nano is #1 and #2, and a SanDisk Sansa M240 at #3, all flash. Presumably, as top sellers of the overall mp3 category, they should be top sellers when you drill down to the more specific category they're in. But not a single current Nano in the flash drive list top 25, nor in the portable digital media players list. And that Sansa M240 is also missing from the flash list.
Ouch. Those prices are whacky. A dozen years ago, I had an extraction done for less than cdn$100, then some crowns for $660 per. Two years ago a crown cost me $900 or so (the crowns were 50% covered by insurance). An implant I'm considering would cost about $3000.
The price of ten years of dental neglect and fear of the cost of dentistry while I was uninsured. As an added bonus, the bad teeth are the likely source of a chronic sinus infection, which is costing more for our health system to try and fix and demonstrating the artificial distinction between basic health and dental care coverages.
The rule of thumb is if the photo is used editorially, ie to illustrate a new story, no release is needed. If it is used commercially (ie, part of an ad, coffee table book, submitted to a photo magazine contest), a release is needed.
If they are getting release for a news story, it may be just to cover their but just in case, to be able to reuse it later in a commercial sense, or the usage may be in a grey area. Is a Letterman street interview news? Borat?
It's normally both. A per distance charge when the cab is moving, and a per time charge if the cab isn't moving. The per distance rate is higher than the per time, thus the cabbies' preference for high-speed non-stop trips. Wear a seatbelt.
The Government has mandated we fork over additional money when we buy stuff. Tax or levy, whether it passes through the government's coffers first or not is a legal distinction lost on the common folk.

The "chief reporter" the submitter is quoting did not recognize the difference between patent and copyright.

While they may be spending a lot of time thinking about death and the afterlife, that doesn't make it any easier to come to terms with it.

You'll get much better latency out of an ISDN connection.

I'd expect a legion to have a significant number of camp followers, including plenty of prostitutes.
The schematics clearly show it's a multi-mode atmo/bussard ramjet.
Role-play and sex, however . . .
