The article you link points out that the Fosbury Flop was a response to changed landing surfaces and that many high-jumpers were experimenting at that time.
It's kind of like how you can see over the other cars if you drive and SUV. But if everyone got an SUV, then you are back in the original situation but now everyone pays more for gas per mile.
There, fixed it. BTW, what is baseball, and why don't people do it here in my mother's basement?
But they do drive SUVs in your mother's basement? That's a hell of a basement!
Then the music publishers affiliated with the major record labels will likely start making accusations of cryptomnesia, or accidental infringement of copyright in a work published years ago, against indie songwriters and recording artists. See Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music for an example of how it could go down.
Remind me, which was the indie band/songwriter in that dispute?
Just to play Devil's advocate here, doesn't this mean that the inability to consent is merely an arbitrary limit that has nothing to do with actual capacity for consent?
Not "nothing to do with actual capacity for consent" -- it's strongly positively correlated. But it's not 100% correlated, so different limits reflect varying preferences for type 1 errors over type 2 errors or vice versa. It's not ideal, but it seems to be better than any alternative anybody has come up with. "The perfect is the enemy of the good."
I think this proves keeping CCV cameras well maintained and working - is cheaper and better
Except the popularity of hoodies is partly down to the fact that they obscure the face from CCTV cameras (and partly down to them being comfortable and convenient, of course).
More likely, somebody will produce a proprietary "enhanced" version of the docking standard and claim that it is now the de-facto standard, and start charging fees to anybody who tries to dock with it.
It was you who said that '/ in normal language tends to mean "and or or"' And the AC posting (was that you, then?) mentioned turning off the phone or computer, not leaving on the phone or computer. De Morgan's Law applies.
Your first response didn't differentiate between computers and phones.
My first response referenced both with regards to the job statement, and mainly phones with regards to communication, since nobody tends to check their email while sleeping, but many still want to leave their phone on in case of a family emergency or whatnot.
I did not say that the sentence was not meant to include computers. You are the one that used computers as an example of how you don't communicate while you're asleep, despite the fact that phones are 50% of the whole topic. That's like saying that Zebras are black just because they have black stripes. But in fact they're both black and white.
Lets see. Call the set of people who turn their phones off P, and those who turn their computers off C.
As you said, "/" in normal English use means and/or, so the query is about the union of the two sets.
I propose a set of people who are members of the union of P and C.
You complain that that is not valid because those people are not members of P.
And you think there's something wrong with me. You do understand basic logic, don't you? Then how do you interpret the original AC comment so that my response was not valid?
So you think " Who the fuck turns their phones/computers off any more anyway" was not meant to include consideration of turning computers off? Interesting...
Similarly, it was phones/computers, not just phones.
Though I do at the moment turn off the cell part of my current phone overnight since it is particularly thirsty, but I don't turn off the entire device. The power cost of keeping it on standby must be tiny, and I often charge it at work anyway.
I turn my phone off when I'm on flights that don't allow flight-mode (which seems to be most of the ones I take) and when I don't want people to bug me. And it turns itself off when I forget to charge it.

When I read the Superman comics back in the 60s the ads were for x-ray glasses and muscle building courses. So what's new?
Otherwise, why would Wowio (stoopid *** name as well) be in process of being granted a "very broad patent" (link in summary above) for such?
You must be new here.
Where would the money come from to buy that legislation?
No, it's up, down, sideways. sex-appeal and peppermint.

Really? I had to put a deck of punched cards in a box and wait for a printout to come back a few hours later.

And her bassist doesn't even wear a tutu. Not interested.
I think that's covered by my "comfortable and convenient", don't you? I'm in my 50s, don't need to hide from CCTVs, and I sometimes wear a hoodie.

Thieves that get caught are not generally known for their intelligence.
Fixed that for ya.
plus of course they don't put a big sticker on the outside of marked objects to warn you.
From the summary: "Now, a sign on the front door of the McDonald's prominently warns potential thieves of the spray's presence".
More likely, somebody will produce a proprietary "enhanced" version of the docking standard and claim that it is now the de-facto standard, and start charging fees to anybody who tries to dock with it.
Congratulations. You apparently have less empathy than a common thief.
To be fair, less empathy than a rather uncommon thief.
Eh after looking back over the original comments I'll stop being an asshole
If anybody here actually did that, I think /. would collapse into a singularity.
I guess your CuP thing is relevant with respect to the way AC's question is worded
It was all based on the original phrasing, but it's probably not worth pursuing.
If you are all in bed together, you had better be communicating.
You're not married, then?

you probably need to rethink your spending priorities.
Hmm. Two pints of beer or electricity for a device I'm not using. Tough call. (Anyway, not all of the computers I run are "modern devices").
Nobody communicates via my computer when the house is empty or we're all in bed.
Where does a job come into it?
Those of us who don't get our electricity bill paid by our parents.
